Chasing A Dream

17. Mating.

Theo's POV

Using my mind link, I called to Scott and told him to gather the entire pack in the clearing behind the house. While he was doing that I was busy trying to think of a way to convince Tara to attend. She may not want the role of Alpha female but now that I've found her, it's her responsibility to stand beside me as I address my pack.

I'd already had Mrs.Lloyd take the children from the riverbank pack to the pack house so they could be checked and treated by the pack nurse who just happens to be my grandma. She'll clean them up before the meeting. I couldn't see any obvious wounds when I saw them but that doesn't mean there aren't any.

I have a feeling the only way Tara will come and take her place beside me is if I tell her the while situation first, so I guess that's what I'm gunna have to do. Shifting into my wolf, I charged through the woods, en route to Tara's home.

Tara's POV

Something doesn't feel right. My head hurts and I can't think straight. All my thoughts keep mixing together. Maybe it's got something to do with this stupid bond me and that arse of a mate share. I can't be bothered with this so I'm just going to see if I can lie down for an hour.

Half an hour later, Curled up in my bed in bum shorts and a tank top, I found myself unable to catch sleep. It just wouldn't come to me. Deciding to try and just be lazy and maybe eat some ice cream I stepped out of bed and slid my feet into my slippers before walking down the stairs. The closer I got to reaching the bottom of the stairs the more I could smell mud and dirt. Thinking that something wasnt right, I tried to move cautiously down the stairs, so as not to alert any possible intruder to my presence. Moving my right foot down onto the next step worked silently but then when I brought my left foot down, a squeal of disapproval from the step resounded through the silent house. Well, bang goes my surprise attack. I might as well just run into it now. I swung my left leg over the stair banister in an unladylike manner, before pushing myself off at the top and sliding down the bannister, as I dismounted, I sniffed the air and moved so I was facing the entrance to my kitchen.

Through the glass pane in the door, I could see a naked man slumped over, with his forehead resting on my dining room table. He looks oddly familiar. I raised onto my toes like a ballerina and began creeping down the hallway toward the kitchen door, with my back pressed against the wall behind me. After a few steps I began to feel like something out of a James Bond film, so deciding to get into character, I do the most obvious thing. I flung myself onto the floor and rolled continuously the rest of the way to the kitchen door with my hands clasped together in the shape of a gun.

At the entrance to the kitchen, I pushed up onto my knees and slowly edged open the door, all the while keeping my hand gun at the ready. Sliding through the door I kept bent down and moved against the cupboards till I was behind the intruder.

"What are you doing?"

My eyes snapped wide, it couldn't be?

"Tara? What are you doing?"

The man raised his head and swivelled in his chair to face me. My so called intruder, was actually just.... My mate. Phew. So nobody's trying to kill me then. Wait. My mate. Theo. them is here. Why that little jerk. Wait till I get my hands on

"Tara! Hello, are you even listening to me?"

"You! Who the hell do you think you are coming here! In fact Theo what the hell are you doing here! You're such a stupid ignorant prick, do you know how scared I was that there was someone here after me and all this time it was you! God you're such a twat!"

"Well. With the way you rolled down the hall and crept along the cupboards like something out of mission impossible, I'm sure you weren't too scared."

I didn't know what to say and do but I could feel my face flushing. Oh dear.

"Also Tara, you thought there was someone here? So you didn't recognise me? You didn't catch my scent? What? How could you not! We're made for eachother, I recognise your scent everywhere?"

Now this really got me.

"Why didn't I catch your scent? Maybe it's because you smell like someone just dumped a load of mud in my kitchen! In fact do you know what you smell like? A friggin' rogue! You smell like one of them! Like mud and dirt! Maybe if you'd had a shower and got rid of that stench I would have recognised you!"

"FINE TARA! I'LL GO HAVE A SHOWER, OK!" Theo exploded in my face before storming out of the kitchen and up the stairs. Within minutes, I could hear the pound of the water on the floor of the bath tub and from the resounding sound, he has it on full power.

I can't believe he just turned up. I haven't seen him in however long and he turns up, uninvited and absolutely stinks my house out! Who does he think he is! Why, oh why did I have to be lumbered with a stupid arrogant mate who only cares about himself! What a stupid

"TARA I CAN HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS IN MY HEAD TOO BABY! AND JUST SO YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU TOO!"

Oh great now he's invading my mind too! Get out my head.

"THEN BLOCK ME"

"I HATE YOU THEO! LEAVE ME ALONE!"

I gasped in shock as a pair of arms snaked around my waist.

"I'd never leave you alone babey."

I felt my core start to burn as his breath tickled the back of my neck before he started to trail open mouth kisses down the left side of my neck. I felt my body start to ache with desire as I slumped into him. Every inch of us touching. His bulge was pushed against my bum and damn did he feel big.

"I heard that too babey and he's all yours."

A deep blush graced my cheeks but I couldn't help it, I'm starting to lose myself around him. I felt him turn me round before he knelt down so he was waist height with me. His teeth grazed my stomach, sending chills of pleasure through me as he gripped my shorts in his mouth before slowly sliding the soft material down my legs. He then grabbed the hem of my top and slowly lifted it up and over my head as he rose from his crouching position, leaving me naked. I flung my arms across my chest to try and keep myself at least a smidgen of dignity. However that didn't work as he caught my arms and forced them to my sides before backing me up so my bum was touching the cold wood of the table.

Leaning forward he pushed me gently backward so I was flat on the table before he lowered himself on to me and started an intense make out session with both our tongues wrestling for dominance. Neither one wanting to give in to the other.

My hand found its way down to his member and I started to glide my fingers up and down his length, making him gasp. A smirk spread its way onto my face, so I decided to take it one step further. I repositioned his member right beside my core. He lifted his face away from mine and looked me straight in the eye.

"Tara babey are you sure."

"I'm sure. Take me now and make me fully your mate. But you'd better not let me regret it. So c'mon Mr.Alpha. Take me."

He slowly started to push into me before stopping.

"This will hurt so ill be as gentle as I can for you."

He continued to push in and then stayed still as a searing pain ripped through me. Damn that really hurts.

After a few minutes the pain went away and I looked at theo to continue and boy did he.

He started to thrust into me slowly and I was starting to feel desperate so I reached behind him and dragged my nails down his back followed by smacking his arse with a loud CRACK. He took the bait and sped up and we went from making sensual love to intimate and passionate sex.
