Ravaged Wolf

Chapter 24

November's full moon was fast approaching and I was most definitely not looking forward to it. I was stood in Dmitri's office, arms crossed as I look out the floor to ceiling window and for the past twenty minutes I'd been watching a pregnant woman waddling back and forth; it was almost obvious that she was having contractions.

She would stop, put her hands on her hips and clench her teeth as her contractions got closer together.

I turn to stride towards the door but Dmitri's voice stops me.

"She's about to pop." I point to the window.

He rises from his chair behind the desk and turn to look out of the window.

"We have a midwife, angel/" Dmitri faces me again.

"I know but... it's been ages since I've done this."

I watch as my mate contemplates before giving me a small nod, excitement over takes me and I rush up to Dmitri and steal a quick peck on his lips.

"Thank you." I whisper, watching as his steel irises melt into something warmer.

He brings my hand up and kisses my knuckles before letting go.

I jog out and down the stairs, flinging the doors open before speed walking to the pregnant she-wolf.

She notices me and bows her head on a small smile.

"Good day to you, Luna." She murmurs on a strained voice.

"Here, let me help you."

I bring the crock of my arm out and she holds on to me instantly.

"Thank you, I think I'm close to pushing this pup." She laughs nervously.

"You shouldn't be stood up, where's your home?"

"Oh, there's no need, Luna; the midwife should be here soon."

I shake my head and feel around her bump.

"I'm a midwife, what's your name?" I ask.

"Grace."

...

Two hours later, I'm passing a little pup to his mother who is screeching to be fed.

"He's got some pipes on him already." Grace chuckles as her mate coos at his little boy.

I smile as the baby latches on to his mother and I set the task of cleaning around and getting rid of the dirty towels.

"Thank you, Luna." Grace catches my attention.

Suddenly, I feel an intense heat over take me and a mixture of both pain and pleasure in my lower regions.

Please don't tell me this is me in heat.

Grace looks over to her mate whose irises are now a bright golden colour and his nose flared in my direction.

"What's happening?" I ask in trepidation as the feeling starts to increase unceasingly.

"You're in heat, Luna." Grace answers, looking worriedly over to her mate.

That explained his lustful look.

The door bursts open and Dmitri snarls ferociously before grabbing me by the arm and shoving me towards him and burying his face at the crock of my neck.

I throw a helpless look to Grace and her mate but they had their heads bowed low.

My knees suddenly feel weak and I have no option but to cling onto Dmitri for support.

Dmitri picks me up, his eyes an intense silver grey colour, and strides all the way home; my wolf howls in excitement as our heat intensifies but the strong pleasure building up inside me bleeds into pain and I tighten my grip on Dmitri's shoulder.

"Your scent will be the death of me, angel." He growls, placing me in the middle of his bed as I almost bite through my bottom lip.

"Is it the full moon already?" I gasp, clutching the sheets as I cross my legs.

He nods stiffly and looks as if he's holding his breath.

I was surprised he was holding back and strangely I didn't like that.

Sitting up, I grab Dmitri by his shirt and attempt to drag him down but his body was stiff and unmoving.

"What're you doing?" My brows furrow in confusion.

My wolf didn't like this at all; we should be close to our mate.

"I'm not mating you now, Cass." He says through clenches teeth.

Holding back looked like a great effort to him.

"I don't you to mate me now, just... stay close." I plead.

Dmitri lays down beside me and tucks me close to him, making the pain lessen and my wolf to calm a little.

"If I wanted you to mate me, would you still say no?" I ask after a few seconds.

I feel his arms tighten around me slightly and I bury my face into his neck, relishing his unique scent

"I would still say no." He murmurs.

My brows rise in surprise and I look up at him.

"It doesn't mean I don't want you; I want every inch of you, angel."

It was probably my hormones raging but all of a sudden, I'm climbing over Dmitri and sitting on top of him; leaning forward to catch his lips with mine.

If it wasn't for the full moon, I most certainly wouldn't be doing this but I couldn't seem to stop myself; it was as if my wolf was driving all of my movements.

Dmitri kisses me back, slowly taking over the kiss and moving his hands under my top. I gasp when our skin connect, a fiery heat inflaming once again.

He grips my sides as I slightly grind against Dmitri's lap, strange sensations taking over me as my wolf purrs.

Dmitri rolls me over and my legs are wrapped around his waist as he leans on top of me, pushing something hard against me. He growls against my neck and I shiver when his teeth scrape against my neck.

My vision starts to blur and I tighten my grip on Dmitri.

"Cassandra." He groans.

Dmitri grabs my ankles and gently unwraps them from his waist, pulling back and climbing off the bed.

"I can't." He sighs.

"Why not?"

I sit up and frown at him, the heat coming back again.

Dmitri shakes his head and removes his shirt, adjusting the tent in his pants before murmuring that he was going to shower. I stare at his retreating tattooed back and shiver at the designs of the howling wolf.

...

I ended up falling asleep in an attempt to escape the heat and it seemed to work...until I woke up.

Only the next morning, it's not as intense and I'm able to stand without crumbling to my knees. Before I could even reach the bedroom door, Dmitri appears in front of me.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Out, it's not too bad today." I shrug.

"Yes it is; you're scent is still strong and I'll have to resort to killings if you step outside, angel." His brows furrow.

Trust him to use the word killing and angel in the same sentence.

"Well you should've mated me and gotten it over and done with when I was more than eager yesterday, to get rid of my scent." I huff, secretly wishing he had done so.

"Oh I will mate you, angel; in the next full moon before the pack." Dmitri cups my cheek as his mouth skims over my ear.

"What?" I whisper, my whole body going numb.
