Blood Legacy (Rewritten)

64. Nathan

She'd long since stopped fussing and banging at his back as he trekked through the dark and quiet forest, her stillness actually managing to worry him a little.

"Care?" His voice was soft as he tentatively traced his hand over the back of her thigh, moving into a gentle caress.

She weakly moaned in response, barely stirring.

"Are you okay?" He stopped to ask, waiting but a single moment before gently lowering her back on the ground.

She swayed on shaky legs and moaned again, his arm being quick to catch her and prevent her from falling.

Tendrils of hair covered her face and she unsuccessfully tried to blow them away for a few times, finally using a weak hand to push them away as she mewled out,
"I feel...dizzy..."

His lips set into a thin line, mentally berating himself for keeping her in that uncomfortable position for way too long, judging by her feeble state.

"I'm sorry. Let's just rest here for a little while. Maybe it'll make you feel better," He caringly said, still holding her by the waist as she slumped a little and leaned her back against the tree right behind her.

Her breath came out in long and laboured puffs, visibly swallowing as she let her head fall back and rest against that same tree.

"Why did you take me away? Jess said that she didn't want to be left alone with him tonight," Her lids were half-closed as she spoke, his wolf already reaching out through the bond to try and calm that dizziness and nausea she was currently feeling.

"We have to go back and..."

"Shh...Forget about them. Nothing's gonna happen to her. Just try to relax," He soothingly silenced her, placing a hand over the side of her neck, his thumb rubbing soft circles against her cheek as he closely watched her, noticing her blow out a long and calming sigh.

That's it, little mate. Just breathe.

"I gotta say that I didn't particularly enjoy receiving those thoughts about David fucking his mate's brains out and you actually finding that hot," He pensively murmured after a moment, reminiscing those explicit images she'd unintentionally sent him through the bond earlier and the way it made her feel.

She let out an amused chuckle at the sound of his words, earning herself a raised brow.

"I did find it very hot," She boldly said after a mild shake of her head, actively managing to pick up his interest.

"I was imagining him losing his shit -or his beast or whatever- and fucking her fast and hard against one of these trees as she screamed her lungs out," She finished with a giggle, still not really looking at him as her eyes were still half-closed.

"Oh so you like it rough then? Why didn't you say so sooner?" He teasingly said with a smirk, watching those beautiful blue gems reveal themselves as only then she finally looked up at him, her luscious and pouty lips parting a little bit.

"Who knew that my mate was actually such a little freak?" He lightly shook his head, keeping that teasing smirk plastered over his face as he moved his hand to gently flick against her cute nose with his index finger.

"We can try that too if you're into it though. Anything my queen desires. Whatever fantasies you might have, no matter how dark or innocent, I can make them happen. You just say the word," His voice lowered a little bit towards the end of his speech, hearing the way her heart picked up its pace and her breathing quickened, visibly affected by his words.

So she did like those kind of things after all.

You naughty little minx.

His gaze switched between her surprised gaze and her sexy lips, entertaining himself with her bodily reactions to him as he could feel that faint scent of her arousal, her hand moving on its own accord to rest over the middle of his chest as she stared up at him, completely entranced.

"Do you-" He abruptly stopped mid-sentence as the sound of a familiar female voice reached his sensitive hearing, his brows furrowing as he tried to focus on it.

His mate's brows furrowed too upon noticing that concentrated and worried look on his face, being quick to realize that something was definitely happening, quickly growing alarmed as she pressed on,
"What? What's happening? Is it Jess? Is she okay?"

But he only gazed down at her in response, waiting for another sound when the echo of a long and loud moan suddenly reached him, followed by another and another.

"Oh wait, those are not frightened screams," He concluded with a lazy smirk, watching his mate's eyes widen, a light blush coating her cheeks as she stared up at him with incredulity.

"Looks like she's kinda having a reeeaaally good time, actually," He suggestively raised his brows as those moans kept trailing back to him, over and over again.

Oh yeah, nice work brother.

He watched his mate let out a gasp and slap a hand over her mouth in response, her eyes twinkling with astonishment and amusement as she looked up at him, letting out a childish giggle.

He couldn't help but smile too upon noticing the way her face lit up so beautifully, his own wolf brimming with joy at the sound of that pleasing sound coming from his mate.

So fucking cute...He sighed like the damn fool in love he was, drinking in every aspect of that giddy expression of hers.

My cute little mate...

"By the way, did you know that you were the one who actually helped her get through her first shift?"

He blinked at the sound of his mate's words, instantly sobering up a little.

"What?"

"Yeah, Jess showed me. In her memories. I saw your wolf with hers. You helped her shift," There was something akin to wonder and admiration in his mate's glittering blue eyes as she stared up at him, making his heart flutter in a painfully delicious way.

Thank you...Those words echoed in his mind, briefly reminiscing that look on Jess' face that night at his apartment as she was just leaving with his beta.

"Hmm...I thought she smelled familiar," He casually mused out loud, only now making sense of the true meaning behind those words. She'd thanked him for being kind to her. Even after all these years.

"You're not such a mean asshole after all, are you?"

His gaze refocused back on his mate, that look of wonder and admiration still plastered on her perfect features as she offered him another giddy smile, making him feel like the worthiest Alpha ever to exist.
She was impressed by him. By that naturally selfless and nurturing side of himself.

"Well, that depends on who you're asking," He playfully said in reply, just to tease her for a little bit as he took a caramel lock and started twirling it in his fingers, secretly marvelling at its incredible silkiness as he rather devilishly peered between those cerulean eyes.

So fucking perfect...He inhaled another breath of her mouthwatering scent, reflexively licking his lips as he couldn't help but yearn so much for the taste of her again. It's been so long since he'd last devoured those lips, her sweet skin.
So painfully long.

"And who-" She didn't get to utter another word as he crashed his lips against hers, finally giving in to that burning desire. Too long he'd waited for this. For the sweet relief of her touch, her delicious mouth.
He'd planned to let her take her time, come back to him for more on her own. But he couldn't resist anymore. Couldn't take it any longer.
