My grandmother kept trying to push the girl onto me and every single time I have dodged it. I knew that either today or tomorrow Skylar would witness what wolves called heat. It made me nervous and I wanted to finish the mating process and quick so that way she wouldn't have to go through it. I was just waiting for her to tell me when she was ready. I walked into the bathroom and found Skylar wrapping a towel around her body. I quickly closed the door as I felt my face heat up. The door opened and Skylar looked at my in confusion.
"I didn't mean to walk in on you." I mumbled and rubbed the back of my neck. It was so hard to keep my eyes on hers. She was standing in front of me in a towel. I wanted to take her as mine right now but I wasn't sure if she was ready. She laughed lightly and wrapped her arms around my neck. I felt my breathing turn ragged knowing the only thing that was between us were my clothes and her towel. Controlling myself was a tough battle but I had to take things at her pace.
Her lips met mine as she pulled me to the bed. I allowed her to lead me there and lay down. I slowly crawled over her and connected our lips again. I was in need of a shower from training but at this current second, it was my last thought. I pulled away and began trailing kissed down her neck. I found her sweet spot and worked on leaving a mark there. I felt her nails dig into my clothed shoulders as she let out a soft moan.
"I can't go further if you aren't ready." I said against her skin. I felt her shiver underneath me before she brought my lips to hers again.
"I'm ready Andrew." She whispered. That sent me overboard. I kissed her with more need and let my hands fall to her waist. Her hands went under my shirt and despite knowing she has seen all the scars on my body, it still made me nervous. I always wore a shirt to bed and during training. The only time I didn't have a shirt on was when I was showering or changing. Yet I decided that it wouldn't be so bad this time. After all, there wasn't much she hasn't seen already.
*************
I laid next to Skylar who had her head resting on my bare shoulder. I was still processing everything, even our bare bodies that were pressed together. I had covered us up after we finished just in case someone needed to come into the room for some unknown reason. We just finished the mating process. All I could say about it was wow. It was amazing and I loved it. I wrapped my arm around the girl and closed my eyes to try and sleep.
Of course the universe had something against me. A knock sounded on my door and I slowly got out of bed and pulled some pants on and grabbed my shirt. I opened the door and found my parents standing on the other side. I opened it a little wider and looked at them in confusion.
"Andrew, we need you to start taking Skylar everywhere you go. You grandmother won't give up and let you be with her. The only thing is that your grandmother won't try anything when she's under your care because of your strength. You've already passed your father in it and it hardly takes a toll on your body." My mother said. I glanced back into my room, at the sleeping form of my mate and then looked back at my parents.
"She won't be touching Skylar." I said. My parents smiled and nodded before walking off. I closed the door then returned to my mate's side and shook her awake. I handed her my shirt when she woke up before I picked up everything around the room.
"Your hair is starting to get long again." Skylar said as she reached up and ran her hands through my hair. She moved behind me and lifted my shirt, probably tracing the few scratch marks that were still healing.
"As much as I want you to have your freedom around the castle, you can't go far from me until the deal with my grandmother passes over." I mumbled.
"Fine by me. It's not like I have to be glued to your side. Just in your sights right?" She asked. I smiled and nodded my head.
"Andrew, border control caught some hunters. They claim to know Skylar." Noah said. I turned my head and then glanced at Skylar.
"It's your call on what happens to them." I said. She looked at me then Noah.
"Let's see who they are first." She said. She went to the closet and changed but left my shirt on. We led her to where they were and who I saw nearly had me on the ground. They were supposed to be dead.
"Andrew! Did you miss us?" One of the females said.
"You're supposed to be dead." I mumbled. Memories of what they did to me flashed in my head.
"Kill them." Skylar said. Noah looked at me and I waved my hand and held onto a tree.
"Skylar wait! Why are you killing us? We aren't the bad guys!" The man shouted.
"Andrew is my mate and this is his pack. I have to protect him and this pack." Skylar said. With that their pleads were cut off for good.
"Are you okay?" Noah asked.
"I'm fine. Just flashbacks." I mumbled. I wrapped my arm around Skylar and we began our walk to the castle.
"You two make me feel single." Noah complained.
"You are single Noah." Skylar said while playfully rolling her eyes at him. I snickered as Noah shot me a look of disbelief.
"You're going to let her talk to me like that?" He asked me in shock.
"I don't see the problem. After all, she is your luna." I said casually. I knew i had won and continued walking without another word.
