Zeus
| eighteen | 

It had already reached the early hours of the morning after the official ceremony had taken place. The wolves were celebrating, some drunken individuals laughing to themselves as the majority of the pack took their place on the dance-floor. With Zeus' hands on her waist, Anya felt her body relax, his tall frame skilfully leading her around the dance-floor. Warmth spread throughout her body as his hold on her tightened slightly as she smiled, her head resting on his shoulder. 

Her eyes remained closed as he guided her, their movements slow and gracefully as they danced, her ear pressed up against his chest, his heartbeat muffling the music that surrounded them. Athena and Ares danced beside them, the couple giggling as Ares drunkenly planted a sloppy kiss on Athena's cheek, the girl squealing. Anya opened her eyes, flashing them a small smile, an amused look washing over Zeus' features. 

Her eyes flickering along the dance-floor, Anya's eyes widened as she noticed Sally and Helios joined together in the dance, the bubbly girl throwing her head back in laughter as the shy healer before her blushed, his cheeks almost as red as his hair. 

To the side, Apollo had a dark look on his face, Leto having forced him to dance with her, his face set into a glare as he locked eyes with Anya. She giggled, the boy rolling his eyes, a grunt escaping his mouth, before his mother slapped his arm, "Be nice," She scolded. 

Zeus watched Anya as she laughed, his hands still resting on her waist, before he moved one hand to touch her chin, tilting her head towards him. "Are you having fun, my little mate?" 

Under his heated gaze, Anya blushed, shyly ducking her head before nodding. "Yeah," She breathed, a soft smile on her lips as she looked up. The forest green eyes were locked onto her, his gaze lowering to look up and down her body before looking back up to her face. Her eyes remained on him, the darkening of the green causing her breath to hitch in her throat. 

His head lowered so that his lips were by her ear, "Come with me," He murmured. 

Anya bit her lip, already knowing what was to come. She let him take her hand, their bodies weaving between the dancing wolves, Athena flashing her a wink as she left. Her cheeks stained red, Anya let Zeus lead her towards the pack house, and it wasn't long before they reached his bedroom. 

Pausing by the door, Zeus turned to her. "Whatever happens tonight, from now on, what is yours is mine, including the bed." Anya felt her heart pound against her chest as she nodded in understanding. Zeus' hand remained entwined with hers as he used his free hand to open the door. 

The light was off, Anya having to strain to see as Zeus moved from her and across the bedroom. She shut the door behind her, before her eyes widened. "Wait!" She blurted, Zeus flicking on the bedside table, turning to her with a puzzled expression on his face. Anya backed towards the door, her mate taking a step towards her. "I'll be back in a minute," She gasped out. "Just wait here." 

Not giving him a chance to speak, she disappeared, the door slamming shut behind her, a bewildered Zeus sitting on the bed in shock. He ran a hand through his black hair, slowly pulling off his dress shirt, biting his lip as he listened carefully, the shirt dropping from his fingers. He could hear Anya's heartbeat racing, his wolf wanting to chase after her. But he forced himself to sit still, using all of his self control to remain on the bed. 

He busied himself removing his shoes, socks and trousers, placing them on the ground along with his shirt, before lying back on the bed, his body feeling as if it were on fire as he breathed heavily. He could feel himself becoming aroused as his thoughts drifted to the day before, his wolf yapping happily in the back of his mind.
