Earning Her Trust

Chapter 15 (Part 2)

Hi guys, this is the second half of the chapter. I'm hoping by now all issues with the last chapter have been resolved and everyone was able to read it. 

This is a bit of a filer chapter but you, along with Derek, get to see the sort of things that Avery missed out on and how different her life was. 

I don't know when the next chapter will be, I'm sorry it hasn't been all that exciting lately I just really don't know what to write. I have ideas of how I want it to turn out but I don't want to jump to that straight away and rush the story too much. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this :)

DEREK POV:

"So did you enjoy yourself sweetheart?" I ask as I pull my t-shirt down over my head and step out from behind the tree

We finished our run after a good few hours and returned to where we left our clothes earlier this morning.

"It was incredible Derek, thank you." she says as I see the sincerity in her eyes

It pains me to think that my poor little mate was never able to run like that. It can physically hurt a wolf to not be able to run and stretch their muscles and I'm pleasantly surprised she managed to keep up with me for that long.

'Our mate is strong' Drake tells me

But he doesn't need to. She's proven to me in just the space of a few days how strong she really is. To survive what she has for so many years, to make it so far all on her own out in the woods, and to stand here today despite all her fears with a smile on her face makes me so so proud of her. She doesn't believe it herself but I know she will make a perfect Luna when she's ready. She seems as if she's missed out on so much at her old pack and I can't wait to have a get together for all the pack members so they can properly meet her and so she can finally see they'd all do anything for her. When telling everyone to steer clear of that area of the forest so we can go for a run, I had to tell them I had found my mate. I didn't give any details but I told them she hasn't been treated the best and is too scared and not ready to meet everyone yet. They were delighted to finally have a Luna and can't wait till she's ready so they can welcome her with open arms.

'WE can't wait to welcome her with open arms' Drake chuckles, 'I want her in our bed, preferably underneath us' he almost purrs as I take in her perfectly shaped behind as she walks back to the house ahead of me. He's not wrong, I really do want to mate with her. I want to make slow love with her, but I also want to tie her to the ceiling and fuck her absolute brains out, I want to make her cum so many times she doesn't remember anything but my name that she'll be screaming over and over. But I would never push her for any of that. I'd remove myself from the whole lifestyle if it meant she'd be happy.

My mate truly is beautiful with the perfect body, albeit still a fair bit underweight. She's gained a kilo or two in the past half a week just by eating three times a day. The thought that she was eating far less than that angers me but as she glances over her shoulder at me with a soft smile the anger instantly vanishes as I almost stop dead in my tracks. The sunlight shines through the tops of the trees and surrounds her in a warm glow. She's perfect.

I check the clock on the wall as we walk through the front door, "Hey baby it's a bit after lunch and we've just been on a huge run, you must be starving. Come on I'll make you something real quick" I tell her pulling her through the open living room into the kitchen.

I dig through the many different soups I have in the fridge until I find a minestrone with lots of chunky vegetables, some of which were on Liz's list of foods she needs to eat more of.
