If I could, I would convince Isadora to forgive Irvin and let him stay with Janice. But the moment I try to bring up the topic, one harsh glare from her makes me gulp and shut up immediately.
She didn't spare Kiara for attempting to force-mark me, how did I even imagine she'd spare someone who tried to hurt me.
I am still suffering from the after affects of the dose Irvin injected me with, and I've been trying my best to cough without Isadora seeing, which has been easier since she's out all day. After the confrontation in the gym, she has left to finish some urgent work and I haven't seen her yet.
The final meeting's fixed for tomorrow morning and I was informed by Troy that Janice and Irvin are allowed to meet tonight, probably to let them make up their mind about the announcement that's about to change their lives forever.
I am waiting anxiously in front of the Beta mansion, Isadora's supposed to come home and I want her to be able to rest and be comfortable for the night. Without any care or stress of the world, I want to give her a night of relaxation. Because tomorrow isn't going to be easy for any of us, so tonight should be stress free and as delightful as possible under the circumstances.
"She's here."
Her intoxicating scent envelopes my smell-buds and I whip around to spot my mate marching toward me, the hard glare she had in her eyes immediately soften when they land on me.
"Beta!" I exclaim and jump off the porch, running to her.
She holds her arms open as I jump into them, hugging her neck and wrapping my legs around her waist. She laughs, holding under my thighs to keep a firm hold on me. The sound of her laughter works like a spell as my worries melt away and I bury my face in the crook of her neck, inhaling deeply. Day purrs, happy and secured in his mate's arms.
"Hey, baby. Why are you still awake? You should've been asleep by now. It's already 2!" She scolds, carrying me inside the house.
Still clinging to her, I nuzzle her neck, pressing a gentle kiss on the mark and giggle as goosebumps rise on her skin.
"I missed you and I wanted to be awake when you come back." I pout.
She carries me upstairs to our bedroom, and closes the door behind us then carefully lets me down on my feet. She cups my face and strokes her thumbs over my cheeks as our eyes lock.
"I missed you too. I know we haven't gotten enough time to spend together recently, but I promise, after everything's over, I will take you out on a vacation."
My eyes sparkle at the idea of a vacation, far away from all the responsibilities, just the two of us.
"I know it's gonna be hard for everyone tomorrow, but I also know whatever you decide, it'd be the best for the pack." I say, holding her hands and smiling at her. "I want you to know I'm always here for you. I love you so much."
She softly chuckles, bringing her face closer, she rubs our noses together and presses a warm, lingering kiss on the corner of my mouth. I close my eyes and let myself indulge into the moment of intimacy as her warm lips pepper more soothing kisses all over my face.
"I love you more, baby. Words could never be enough to express my love for you." She whispers between her kisses, slowly making her way back to my lips.
My eyes blink open and I get sucked into the depth of her gaze, her eyes so blue, it feels like I can almost visionize the ocean waves crashing against the shores in them, the magnetic pull draws me in and I let my lips touch hers.
Releasing a sigh, she mingles in the kiss, trailing her hands down to rest on my hips while I tangle my fingers in her hair, pulling and tousling them as our lips move in synchronization.
I breathe out a deep moan when her tongue slides in between my lips, forcing them open as she claims my mouth, the way her tongue explores and licks every corner, I can feel her possessiveness through it.
It both surprises and pleases me that even after being together for almost a year, she still feels so possessive about me. I have never experienced love like this before and I'm glad I waited for my mate to be the one to shower me with love like this.
As I start to feel her knee circling between my legs, arousing my growing bulge, I abruptly pull away from the kiss.
Isadora growls and tries to pull me back in her strong arms, but I grab her arms and keep the distance.
"Wait," I gasp for air, steadying my breaths as she grunts, too gone in the intimacy to calm herself down, "I want you to relax tonight." I say.
She rolls her eyes, diving her head down to harshly suck on my neck. I release a throaty moan as she sucks on the mark, my eyes rolling as I almost succumb to the desires.
"I am relaxing." She mutters against my skin.
"Isadora," I urge, "Just listen to me."
With a huff, she pulls back and stares at me with a bored look in her eyes.
"Fine. What do you have in mind?"
I grin, quickly taking her hand and leading her to the washroom where I have prepared a rose petals and candle bath for us to relax into. Then I've also prepared food with my own hands, Isadora's favorite, so we could eat together and enjoy the quietude of the night.
"Baby, you're too good for this world, for me." She says in a soft, almost guilty tone.
I smile and kiss her cheek, then standing on my tip toes, I plant a kiss on her forehead.
"You're the best Beta any pack could ever have, and the best mate. You deserve everything and more, Isadora. Don't ever think otherwise. Ever."
Her smile widens and she pulls me in for another kiss, this time it's sweet and full of pouring love, no urgency or lust involved as we just blend in the moment.
Afterwards, we strip off our clothes and get in the tub. With my back to her chest, we hold each other and bask in each other's warmth, content and unaware of the worldly chaos that looms around us, even if for just a few hours.
After our dinner on the balcony, I suggest we go for a run since the moon looks so dazzling tonight. Isadora refuses saying I'm still recovering, but what could be more healing for a wolf than going on a run with their mate?
She finally agrees, and we take off, running through the shadowy paths of the woods, losing ourselves amidst the mysteries of the night.
