The Feral Mate

Chapter 62

Opal was crying as she laid on the floor, there was banging coming from the door, it was Pasha shouting, “what's going on in there? Let me in or I'm going to break this fucking door down”, we were in so much pain, Opal couldn’t move, ‘I'm so sorry Opal, I just need the pain to stop’ I cried, ‘it's ok, this pain is nothing compared to the beating you took for us and the pup, rest, I will heal us’ Opal said calming me down.

Huxley opened the door, Pasha rushed in the room, "Opal? What happened? I thought you wasn’t going to shift till the morning?” he stroked my head; it was nice that he was worrying about us but he had a new pup just across the hall, he should be there with Atlas, not with me, “Pasha, sit down and I will tell you what's going on” Pasha sat on the floor, next to me, gently putting my head on his lap, stroking it.

Opal was drifting in and out of sleep, as Huxley told Pasha, “Wow, do you think they are fated to be together? Just like you two” “River and I aren’t fated” “think about it, the pair of you have practically been inseparable since you first met, how many times did she come and visit your room at night? Who calmed you down when you went on that rampage through the house? River did, when Titan left Opal in the wood, who forgave him? Opal did, you built River a farm for Christ’s sake” “technically, she didn’t ask for the farm, Brax did” “who runs the farm? Who runs the retreat?” “Brax and River” “don’t get smart with me, we all know she runs it all, Ok then, if River asked for a farm, would you build it for her?” “In a heartbeat” “do you see it now? If Nisa asked for a farm? Would you have built it for her?” “No, I wouldn’t of”.

They carried on talking, I passed out, the pain was so bad, I'm surprised I hadn’t passed out before now.

I woke up next to Atlas and her pup, fast asleep, my body felt 10x better, not healed, but better, Opal sniffed at the pup, ‘he smells so nice, will our pup’s smell like this?’ As she sniffed at him again, ‘they will most likely smell like a combination of us both’ Titan said, Opal looked up and Titan was standing at the end of the bed, ‘morning Opal, River, how are you this morning?’ Huxley asked ‘better not great but a lot better than last night, how’s Asha?’ ‘he's been confined to his room for a few days or until his rut has passed, I do commend him for holding back, I'm unsure what punishment he should have for what he did’ ‘none, don’t you dare punish him, he couldn’t help it’ ‘River, he took a minor hostage, that’s a very serious crime, it can’t go unpunished’ Huxley said sternly, ‘but Robin forgave him’ ‘yeah, I know that but what if something like this happens again? Maybe not with Asha, but what if it goes further? What if someone gets hurt? Do I not punish them?’

He did have a point, I still didn’t want him to get punished, ‘what punishment are you thinking of?’ ‘Honestly, I don’t know, I have a few ideas, it’s not easy like it was with Victor, he forced many Omegas to have sex with him, but what Asha did is along the same line’ ‘I don’t really know what happened to Victor, he was here one day then gone the next’ just the mention of his name, made my skin crawl.

‘He was branded a rapist and banished from the pack, do not panic, I will not do that to him, by the sounds of it, last night, Asha and Robin will be mated in the future’ ‘let me punish him, I've got the perfect punishment for him’ I laughed at my punishment.

‘Should I be worried? What is it?’ ‘At the farm what is he most afraid of? The chicken’s, I will get him to collect the eggs, feed and clean them out for the next month’ ‘oh dam, I think that’s the worst punishment you could give him, I was kind of thinking maybe going to work in the kitchen’ Huxley laughed at my evil plan, ‘get some more rest, we will give him his punishment later’ ‘sounds like a plan’.

The pup smell had mostly gone, it just lingered a little where he had slept.

It was dark outside again, Titan was cuddled up around me, fast asleep, I didn’t was to move much as I didn’t want to wake him, “are you hungry?” I heard Pasha voice coming from behind me, I turned my head as far as I could, Pasha got up from his chair and came over to me and stroked my head, “would you like me to get you some food and something to drink? I know the kitchen is closed not but I did get some food saved for you” I nodded “ok, I will be right back” Pasha said, kissing the top of Opal’s head before leaving the room.

Opal looked back at Titan’s sleeping face, ‘he is so beautiful, I hope our pup looks like him also has his strength in human and wolf form, and not a wimp like me, too scared to be in wolf form for too long, River, do you really think that we are really fated?’ ‘Yes’ I didn’t answer, it was Titan, ‘Huxley and I love you both so much it hurts, it pains me to hear you call yourself a wimp, you are no such thing, yeah, you do prefer to be in human form but you take on a lot of pain, just like now also when you broke your leg, I will always wait for you to shift so we can talk, we are having a pup, I would like it to be as beautiful you are and to be as kind hearted as you are’ ‘I second that, Opal, we knew what we were getting ourselves into before you shifted, River had already told us about you, the more she told us about you, he was falling hard for you from the start as I did for River’.

Opal got shy, ‘we feel the same, Opal, Huxley said we can have as many pups as we want, something that we have always wanted with our mate that we love’ ‘we will do anything for you, you want three pup’s you can have three pup's, you want five pup’s you can have five pup’s, you want me to build you a house for all these pup’s I will do it’ ‘let’s start with one pup and go from there’ I laughed.
