Howl To My Heart

Chapter 14

I awoke in Dmitri's arms .

I don't remember walking over to him throughout the night .

His strong arms encased me protectively . His breath warm against the back of my head .

I yawned and moved around, with a little bit of struggle, until I faced him .

His eyes were still closed .

I wished they were open and looking at me .

Those eyes......I love them .

They are beautiful .

Now I can't even see them .

I smiled as I lifted a hand to trace their lids gently .

His skin felt silky smooth under my fingertips .

He moaned softly in his sleep and moved his head away from my hand , his arms tightening around me briefly before he moved away , turning onto his other side .

I bit my lip , wondering if he realized that I was there with him . Or did he think he was dreaming .

By wondering that , made me wonder why I was even thinking about it .

I don't know what goes on in his mind .

His pack mates probably did .

I envied them.

There was suddenly an urgent sounding knock on the door that caused him to moan loudly and sit up , his eyes quickly locking onto me , his brows furrowing in confusion .

" When did you _"

He was cut off by another knock and he let out a frustrated groan before manoeuvring himself to the edge of the couch .

" Just a minute , Dima . I'm still half asleep !", he called out, his tone a little husky from sleep, then looked at me ," Get Terry up . I'm certain that it's time for you both to leave ."

I nodded and moved to stand and walked over to the bed , where Terry had cocooned herself in the covers like a caterpillar .

I reached out to shake her gently ." Wake up , Terry Berry , it's time to go ".

She groaned softly and bend in on herself , pulling the covers tighter around her .

" Terry , come on ," I begged ," This isn't the time to play Snug-As-A-Bug ."

She didn't listen , mumbling for me to leave her alone .

I huffed and pulled the covers harshly , jostling her .

She lifted her head , shooting me a vicious glare with half closed eyes before laying down again and snuggling into the covers .

I sighed and threw my hands up in the air .

A hand fell on my shoulder. I didn't have to look to see that it is Dmitri . "Allow me . You go and get ready . You may keep my t-shirt . "

I nodded and walked towards the bathroom to dress into my clothes that I wore the day before , keeping on the t-shirt and foregoing the shirt I wore the previous day .

I folded up that shirt to take back to the bus with me .

Terry barged into the bathroom grumbling to herself and to get away from her , I left , walking to where Dmitri stood at the entrance to his room, talking to a very old looking man .

They were speaking a different language that I didn't understand , so I just took Dmitri's hand and waited for them to finish talking .

They paused briefly to look at me .
