The Wolf With Wings (Editing)

Chapter 24

After training for hours we realized there was more stuff we could do. There was some stuff we could do together but that needed more practice if it was ever going to work correctly. My body ached from the training, it took a toll on me mentally and physically depending on what I did and how long I used my powers. My stamina for magical abilities is pretty close to nothing, it makes sense considering I never really used them much unless completely necessary.

Closing my bedroom door behind me I leaned against it my eyes closed in exhaustion. It was extremely late we trained all day taking a couple breaks in between. The pack house was quiet everyone mainly a sleep.

"Amor mio" a husky voice spoke in the dark and my eyes opened to see a figure sit up in bed. I sighed at the sight of my mate. He held his hand out and before I could even process the action my feet carried me off of the door and towards my mate. My hand touched his warm one and immediately he pulled me into his arm and over his lap. He nuzzled into my neck breathing me in I giggled lowly as his breath tickled before trying to push him.

"Stop I stink I have been training all day." I said pushing on his naked chest but he didn't budge.

"You still smell so good to me mi reina." He responded pulling me closer to him and inhaling my scent

"Let me go shower please and then Ill come back and lay with you okay?" I pleaded still pushing on his chest. He sighed but his arms released me reluctantly but pulled me down for a quick kiss. 

"ill be waiting for you then mi reina." he said against my lips before pulling back and laying back down. I sighed in content as I willed my tired body to the bathroom to shower.

The warm water relaxed my tight muscles and my body felt slightly heavy from exhaustion but my mind was alert and I knew laying down was not going to help me one bit. I would probably just disturb Jose whose low snores I could hear from here. Sighing I pulled a silk tank top over my body and pulled on matching shorts before walking out of the steamy bathroom. Water from my hair dripped down wetting the front of my shirt but I didn't care.

I quietly made my way to the balcony closing the door behind me not wanting to wake up my mate. I sighed walking to the railing and leaning my forearms against it as my head fell into my hands as worried thoughts filled my head. The sounds of the forest at night normally eased me but not tonight, not while there was so many lives in my hands. So much blood spill I needed to prevent, groaning lowly in frustration I straightened my stance looking up at the night sky.

The stars littered the dark blue sky and the moon was full and bright giving light to the creatures of the night. Giving them life like the sun did for some in the day. My eyes searched through out the stars as if an answer was gonna be among them. Sighing once again for the hundredth millionth time today I ran my hand through my wet hair. Turning to head back inside movement was caught in my peripheral vision and my head turned following a black shadow into the forest.

I pushed my body over the railing and jumped off the air lifting my hair as I fell. Landing on the ground I quickly took off my clothes before shifting leaving them there on the floor. I trotted to the edge of the forest where I saw the shadow figure disappear. My nose picked up an unfamiliar scent it was cinnamon and mint. There was a slight sour tinge to it meaning whoever this was was a rouge. I could feel my patrol wolves moving around out there but somehow whoever this was made it passed them not once but twice.

I growled lowly as my nose followed the scent to my boarder where it passed and headed into unmarked territory. A couple of seconds later the wolves on patrol came from either side of me and bowed once they recognized me. They quickly picked up the scent as well and looked at me as if waiting for instructions. Whoever trespassed was long gone and would be a problem for tomorrow. I shook my wolf head no at them then turned to head back to where I discarded my clothes. Shifting and redressing I used the front door this time and headed back to my room

I tiptoed inside slowly closing the door behind and then sliding in bed next to my mate. His heat relaxed me and as if knowing I was next to him his arm reached out for me and pulled me into him. My body feeling small next to his huge frame as he tucked me tightly against his body and nuzzled his nose in my neck. I smiled as I could feel the love coming off of him in waves. Sighing I closed my eyes in an attempt to sleep pushing my problems off until tomorrow.

Laying there with my eyes closed for what felt like hours my mind wouldn't settle. To many thoughts and worries swam around my mind not wanting to give me a second of peace. The bliss of sleep never took over to relieve my earthly stresses. I laid there not wanting to disturb my mates rest and enjoying the warmth and comfort he brought to me curled up in his body. I felt like I still needed something, something else to ease my mind. Sighing softly I stared into the darkness until my room started to light from the sun. My body stayed still as my mind continued to race until my mate started to move as well. He released his hold on me as he rolled over getting the sun out of his face. His slowed breathing a sign that he was still blissfully a sleep, must be nice.

My body was still tired from yesterdays training and it ached in protest as I willed myself to get up. I headed to the bathroom and did my routine before sliding out of the room not waking up Jose in the process.
