Lupo Nero

Chapter 7

Slight sexual content in this chapter. Nothing too steamy. Enjoy!

Daniel's PoV

I shifted back to human form and put on board shorts and a plain white shirt as I neared the edge of the woods behind the pack house. The mark on my neck started to tingle as I neared the house and my mate.

Aviana...

A smile formed on my lips at the thought of her. She is definitely worth the wait and sacrifice and in just a couple more months she'll be mine. Completely, irreversibly mine.

My wolf hummed in agreement. He lost his mate quite some time ago, just like I thought he would. And since there's no way to reverse the rejection and save her from cancer that unexpectedly came a couple of months later and get her back from the dead, he settled for what he thought is the next best thing. As he should. Sure it was a tragic story, really, him and his mate...

I cringed as I remembered the experience. I couldn't block my wolf's emotions at that time. I couldn't function properly for a good three months and it took all the effort in the world to pretend that I'm fine in front of my pack but that's in the past now.

Aviana is as close to perfect as they come. She had beauty, grace, courage, strength, intelligence... The woman had fire burning in her soul. A little too innocent and naïve, yes, but that works for me. Not to mention her superior werewolf abilities, abilities that would be shared with me once we're fully mated and passed down to a superior breed of pups.

A light simmer spread through the surface of my skin at the thought of having so much power. I could rule the entire werewolf race with my beautiful mate by my side once I have that much power in my hands...

I smiled as I opened the back door of the pack house, taking in a deep breath of the air that weighed heavily of my mate's delectable scent.

I followed the scent to see my mate in the kitchen, cooking up what smelled like chicken breast and mashed potato for lunch.

I made my way towards her, encircling my arms around her slim waist and burying my nose on the crook of her neck.

Vanilla, lemongrass, and a slight whiff of coconut, the scent of her shampoo.

So fucking tempting.

I smirked against her skin after she jumped in shock at my touch. She turned away from the stove to face me, pushing me away with a glare plastered on her beautiful face.

"You scared the shit out of me!" She pocked my chest with the tongs she was holding.

I lightly pushed the tongs away and brought her back into my arms, not liking the distance. I smoothed the crease on her forehead with my thumb and pointer finger before leaning in.

"I missed you." I said truthfully, my lips brushing against her earlobe. I could picture her rolling her eyes but smiling nonetheless as she told me how I was only gone for a few hours. I started nibbling on her ear, disregarding her warnings.

"D-Daniel stop... I'm cooking for f-fucks sake."

My mouth made it's way down her neck and on her mark, sucking and biting on the sensitive spot before blowing cool air into the heated area. I was rewarded with a whimper and the feel of her body shivering against mine before I felt her hands on my hair and her lips on mine.

I kissed back almost immediately. She bit down on my lip before inserting her sweet tongue into my mouth, battling for dominance and tugging on my hair as she shamelessly rubbed her body against mine. I growled, pleased with her aggressiveness as I wrapped her legs around my waist before pushing her back into the wall, liking the feeling of her clothed skin against mine. I pushed my hips into hers, making her feel her effect on me and relishing on the sweet sound of my name on her swollen lips.
