The Forest At Night

Chapter 6

Ashtynn sat up in her bed, gasping for air and looking around. She was back in her bedroom. She was still naked, and there was no Knox beside her. Ash laid back down on her pillow and sighed heavily. Thank God it was only a dream. The heterochromatin eyed girl rolled over on her side and grimaced in pain. Her whole body was sore, and she wasn't surprised by all the positions they had tried. Ashtynn looked at her hip, and sighed in relief to see there were no claw marks, no blood.

The purple haired werewolf grabbed a cigarette and sparked it. As she sat back up, she could smell all sorts of food. Eggs, pancakes, turkey bacon, sausage and what smelled like fruit. Ash threw her comforter back and went to the closet to find a shirt to put on. She found a cute pair of boyshorts and put those on, and found a plain black tank top. As she was rolling deodorant on, Knox came into the bedroom, carrying a tray of food, a barking Pancake, and yawning incubus trailing behind.

"Good morning, Love. You'll need your energy, we burned a lot of calories last night." Knox winked and Cain rolled his eyes, handing Ash a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, and a steaming mug of chai tea.

"Wow, breakfast in bed, I guess I should go into heat more often," Ash joked, sipping her chai tea.

"You will," the werewolf and incubus said at the same time. Ashtynn thanked Knox when he handed her a full plate, the food customized to her taste. The eggs were scrambled and covered in cheese, ketchup, and hot sauce. The turkey bacon was rubbery, no sausages on her plate, and two chocolate chip pancakes with butter and cinnamon laced syrup covering them. Lastly, a bowl filled with grapes, pineapple, mango, kiwi, and strawberries; her favorite fruits.

"Oh this is lovely you two but don't get upset if I can't eat it all in one sitting." Ash said as she started on the bacon, moving her way around the plate. Before she knew it, she had handed her empty plate over to Knox, and was starting on the pancakes.

"Wow, this is the most I've ever eaten! And it's so good."

"As much as I hate to say it Princess, Knox cooked it all. I did make your drinks, and told him exactly how you liked your food." Cain commented as he sat on the couch in her room, and started on his own plates of food. Ash realized she was having breakfast in bed with two very attractive men. Supernaturals, whatever.

"My compliments to the chef, everything was absolutely delicious," Ash looked Knox in the eye and smiled. The male werewolf set his plate down, fork in the middle of his empty plate.

"Anything for my mate," Knox murmured as he leaned in and kissed Ashtynn. Cain crossed his arms and rolled his eyes. Yes, he was happy Ashtynn had found her supposed mate. Sure, Knox was decent, and Cain knew Knox would never hurt her and lay his life on the line for her. It didn't mean he liked seeing someone kissing his Ashtynn. Cain collected the plates from them, 'accidentally' bumping into Knox, knocking the werewolf off balance.

"Do you have a fucking problem, Cain?" Knox snarled, his eyes had already shifted to a glowing molten gold. Hm, she definitely was in heat with how quickly Knox was to piss off. Male werewolves got extra possessive, crazy, and very ill-tempered during mating season, and when the female werewolves went into heat.

"No, I did not mean to bump into you swear of it, Knox." Cain said, not even looking at Knox, grabbing their plates and heading downstairs. Ashtynn saw Knox leap back up and looked like he was ready to attack the incubus traveling down the hallway. She reached her hand out, and placed it on his shoulder. Ashtynn could feel the anger radiating off the black haired werewolf.

"Knox, hey, it's fine," She turned his head, and she saw his eyes instantly soften up, but remained the same glowing gold. Knox was breathing heavily, trying to calm down. He knew she hated it when they fought, he would try to prevent as many as possible. However, Knox would not deal with disrespect, and being treated that way especially in front of his mate.
