Mated but not Tamed

Chapter 22 - What's Left Unsaid

 Shorter Chapter then usual. Sorry :)

Daniel

Somehow, I got stuck on dish duty. I hate dish duty.

But, as much as I hate the feel of left over food, sauce, and the soapy water running down my wrist, the only thing I can think about is Magnolia. Her face when I touched nearly broke my heart, but seeing the state she was in, so early in the morning has only started to become clear to me.

I am not a morning person, that much is clear with how long it took me to realize this. Magnolia's not okay. Something happened last night. I see it, Luther and Seth for sure see it. Only she won't talk to us.

We tried to breach the subject over bacon and eggs, only for her to shove a fork full in her mouth and mumble around it. We backed off, after a while.

She'll tell us when she's ready.

"Can I help?" A small voice sounds from behind me. Her little arms coming around my waist as she tries to peer over my shoulder.

It's almost comical how small she is compared to us. Her dainty little self couldn't reach the middle shelf, let alone look over my shoulder.

Unless... I lifted her up. Had her legs wrapped around my hips. Her fingers combing through my hair as her warm pussy rubbed against my...

"Daniel?" I verbally snapped out of my daze. One I plan to revisit later tonight.

"No Baby, I've got this. You go relax." I bump her lightly with my hip, giving her a big smooch on the head. Her small smile the most I have gotten out of her since we sat down for breakfast.

"Are you sure?" She asks, biting her lip. If I didn't have these ridiculous gloves on, I would pull her lip out with my own teeth. Wrap my hands around her waist and lift her on the counter. There would be no question as to who's allowed to bite that lip. And it wouldn't be her.

"Yes Angel. Besides, aren't you the one who told us you hate doing the dishes." She pouts, her eye lids drooping as she looks at her feet. Ringing her fingers between each other.

So cute.

"Ya, but I know you hate it..." I rip the glove off and turn towards her before she can finish. I push a stray lock of hair behind her ear, enjoying the shiver that racks her body at my touch, and tilt her head up with my fingers under her chin.

"You will never do something you hate, dislike, or just don't want to do again. Understood?" her gaze slides from one eye to the next, I assume to decipher if I mean it or not. And I do. "Understood?" I ask again, a slight edge to my voice, one I almost never hear and have no control over. But she doesn't flinch, whimper, or run. She shivers again, her eyelids fluttering shut before she sucks in her bottom lip and nods.

"Good," I grasp her tighter and pin her to my chest. Her hands instinctively grip my shirt. I bend down, locking our lips together. Her taste invading my senses as I plunge my tongue into her mouth, ravaging her until she is buckling under neath me.

I lean back, admiring my work. Her lips are swollen, a deep shade of pink. Slightly parted and impossible not to be proud of. Her eyes are glazed as she catches her breath.

"Now go sit your cute little butt down and wait for me." I whisper inches from her face. Spinning her around, I face her to the kitchen door.

I give her cute little ass a smack on her way out, loving the feel of her. She turns on her heals, her face beat red and eyes wide as saucers. Her mouth in this cute little O shape.

She scurries out of the kitchen, and I chuckle to myself, burning the look she had on her face deep in my memory.

I enter the living room, expecting to find my Angel sitting and waiting patiently for me. Instead, to my disappointment, I find my sweet Baby sitting on Seths lap.

Now that won't do.

'Danny Snatch.' Vex whispers in my head.

'Yes Vex, Danny snatch.'

I make quick work of scooping her up and off of him. Naraly avoiding his claws as they extend from his fingers and swipe for my leg. Magnolia giggles while Seth growls and grumbles like the beast he is.

I find a love seat on the far side of the room and arrange Magnolia so her round tush is in between my legs with her feet resting on the arm and her head on my shoulder. Bridle style.

"Hello Angel." I nuzzle into her neck, her hair tickling my nose, but her lovely scent engulfing my scenes.

"Hi..." her moan of an answer, ironically, is answer enough. She's still embarrassed from the kitchen. So easily aroused by so few touches. So very mine.

Seths makes a grumbling sound, destroying my boner, and the moment. My good mood isn't completely gone when I look up and find Seth griping a pillow to his crotch, his head thrown back and his face scrunched.

Ha, suffer.

I go to tease him but am swiftly cut off when Luther enters the room, his usual frown deeper. The vein on his neck pulsing harder.

"Problem brother?" I say, scootching Magnolia closer to my chest, loving how she wiggles to find a comfortable spot.

Kinda makes my dick hard.

"The packs need their Alphas." He says, the pinch between his brow furrowing further.

I'm not surprised. We've been gone a while. With the time it took us to set up and execute the hunt, along with finding Magnolia and staying here, I'm surprised we haven't been called back sooner.

"W-what does that mean?" Magnolia asks, her stutter making her nerves almost visible.

"It means..." I press my fingers under her chin, her beautiful heterochromia eyes reflecting light like starts. "We have to go back. To our respective packs." My heart cracks at the tears that well in the corners of her eyes.

"When?" she turns to Luther.

He hesitates, regretting the words before they're even spoken.

"Tomorrow." Magnolia whimpers. All our wolves whimpering with her.

"Baby Girl, please don't cry." Seth moves to her side, tucking strands of golden-brown hair behind her ears. "We don't want to leave, but our packs..." he wipes tear after tear off her cheek. "They're weaker without us, and with the rouges...".

"R-rouges?" she hiccups.
