Chapter 17

Nathan

A smile is etched in my face as I walk to my room for my own shower. When she disappeared into the bathroom and left the door unlocked; I want to barge in there and kiss her until she went crazy. I wanted a few minutes and when I didn’t hear the water running, I went for it. Of course I didn’t go with breaking the door down, but I gently knocked and when she opened the door, I couldn’t contain myself any longer.

Her lips were pure heaven and God were they soft. My wolf was satisfied when she reacted to us and when she let out a small purr that she didn’t realize she did almost made me go insane. I wanted to stay there forever, but I didn’t want to over helm her.

Tonight after the memorial and I will tell her that we’re mates. I can’t take this any longer and I have never craved her so badly. She invades my dreams and I yearn to hear her laugh when I’m alone. I love how her touch can calm me with a single physical interaction and how one look can make me lose my train of thought.

Hopping out of the shower, I quickly dried off and dress; hoping I can see her before getting down to business. Hurrying downstairs, I find that the kitchen is empty and I am a little disappointed that she is here. Spotting a note on the island, I quickly read:

Nathan,

I thought I should detract the kids for a while with a game of hide-in-seek. Don’t worry we will be safe and we will be home soon. Don’t get to stressed.

-Ainsley

I smile at her writing and I fold the note and put it in my pocket. Feeling better, I walk to my office and my heart feels warm.

Ainsley

“Come on Ainsley! You can’t always use your powers in this stupid game!” Asher yells out and I stifle a laugh.

Zapping myself in a high tree, I say, “Well stop tracking me.”

“Why don’t we play a different game?” Ashton suggest and I see a hint a smile on his lips.

I’m happy that I could detract them from tonight. After I got dressed, I came into the kitchen and found everyone moping around. Writing a quick note to Nathan, I told them we are going outside for some fresh air and to clear our minds.

“What about freeze tag?” Shawn ask and I roll my eyes.

“Alright fine with me; but no superwolf speed! Go a normal pace so Payton and I have a chance.” I answers and we begin playing.

We play for an hour and my lungs are on fire. Where we are is close to the house, but I didn’t realize that it was also close to the border. We were all so focus on the game that by the time I felt a other presence it was too late.

“Hello my little pussy cat.” I hear from behind me and I quickly zap so I’m closer to all the kids.

Jericho walks from the shadows with four men behind him. I begin pulling my energy and I’m ready if he attacks. Asher, Ashton, and Shawn come up to stand beside me and the younger kids are behind us. We are a good ways from the back of the house and farther away from the warehouse, putting us in a predicament.

“What are you doing here Jericho; I heard you were rehab.” I say calmly.

Shrugging his shoulders, he answers, “I’m done with it; I don’t have a problem. Plus I wanted to see how my pussy cat was.”

“I’m fine; now leave before Nathan kills you.” I answer bluntly.

That’s when I notice that one of the men behind him was different. I could tell he wasn’t a werewolf, but instead a wizard. Witches and wizards get along fine, but this one had solid black eyes, meaning he was evil.
