The Broken Werewolves: Forbidden Law (BxB)

Chapter 39: Return of the Wolf - Part 1

Chapter 39
Return of the Wolf - Part 1

When I wake up, I'm greeted with the warm arm draped over my stomach, fingers slowly moving around my stomach and I look at the sleeping figure of Cloud, who has his lips slightly parted and eyes shut softly. His long lashes are perfect, making his facial features stand out even more. I wrap my arms around him, snuggling into him, drowning myself in his scent as I bury my nose in the crook of his neck. I sigh in contentment. It makes me think of the years he's not with me. If this happened a long time ago, then we would have a lots of moments by now, memories to treasure, moments to capture. But at the same time, I can't help but think of the moments that will happen sooner or later, and I can't wait to treasure them in my head and in my heart.

"Good morning, my mate," Cloud says groggily, blinking as he adjusts his eyes to the blinding lights that seep through the closed curtains. I can hear the smile and teasing in his voice as he gives me a good morning kiss on my forehead. I could get used to this. I will never ever complain. "I see that you're taking advantage of me at my weakest state, that's not fair, don't you think so?"

I roll my eyes playfully at him, punching him softly on his chest and Cloud makes a feigns hurt, pouting as he makes a face at me and I give him a quick kiss on his lips, which makes him break into a huge smile and I chuckle, shaking my head.

Then a frown etches my face as an image of Furion pops up into my head. Brayden said that we would search for my wolf until we see him, and later on, I would lead them to the place where I broke the Forbidden Law. I admit, I have my hope as high as the Mount Everest, but I know that I shouldn't be expecting much. It was just my theory anyway, but knows? We could try and try, even if my theory is incorrect, that would not stop me from looking and searching for my wolf. I love Furion. I never did forget him, and I will never forget him. Cloud notices my sad expression and he tips my chin with his index finger, making me look at him in his eyes and I can see how fragile his soul is, just like mine.

"Hey," Cloud whispers as he gives me a courageous smile. "Everything will be alright. We will see your wolf, Furion. My wolf, Isaiah, wishes to meet him soon. Every time Isaiah would see you like this, he'd claw inside me, thrashing around, wishing we'd find Furion as soon as possible so you won't feel sad anymore and so he could... uh..." Cloud's cheeks fill with a pink tinge, as if he has been slapped hard by his mother. Cloud thinks of the suitable word to continue what he's going to say and he huffs suddenly. "Let's just say my wolf is having a hormonal problems right now."

I cough loud suddenly. Now it is my turn to blush.

Cloud laughs loudly that he intends to do and I just give him a scowl, rolling over to go to the bathroom but since this is Cloud being Cloud, his arms shot around my waist and he pushes me into him, my back resting against his chest as he plants kisses after kisses across my jaw and neck.

"Please don't be mad," he says between the kisses he's planting on my skin and I sigh in contentment. "I hate it when you get mad."

"I am not mad at you," I say to him. "Just a bit annoyed because of your childishness."

"Well, I can't help but to annoy you," he says, kissing my left cheek. "You are too cute not to annoy. Plus, it's part of being your mate. You can try to annoy me as much as I do to you." He chuckles.

We are slowly and carefully walking through the wilderness, my legs shaking as I walk behind Cloud. Diana is behind me, already working her magic as she floats, her feet barely touching the ground. Her hands keep flying everywhere with grace and elegance. Her hair is tied in a ponytail, end of her hair reaching her bum and when she sees me, she flashes me a smile and goes back to her job. Marcus and Perry are with us. The group consists of I, Cloud, Marcus, Perry, Diana, Brayden, Nolan, Josiah and a couple of warrior wolves to protect us from getting harmed. Roaming in the wilderness is pretty dangerous nowadays. The Rogues are stronger now, and they can't keep their filthy claws to themselves. I can picture them wanting blood on their paws and mouths. Blood-hungry creatures. Murderers.

Who knows? They could be lurking around us, but thanks to Diana's magic. I can't thank Diana enough. She keeps pouring out all of her magic to protect us and that must be tiring. Her hands never get tired to produce magic. I don't know what it does, but I think it's a manipulation magic. I guess she uses her magic to lure them away or to lose them through the changing patterns of paths and trees.

I remember myself running through this way before, when I was about to break the Forbidden Law. Suddenly I can feel the heaviness I felt when I was here a year ago. I was carrying too much pain and burden that I didn't know what to do. My mind kept flashing negative thoughts and that was it, I lost it. I put my palm on my chest, where my heart is beating erratically as I skid to a stop, looking on the path that I used when I ran away from my mate.

Cloud grabs my free hand and smiles down on me and that's what it only takes to make myself move forward. Cloud and the others have a lot of trust in me and I'm not going to let them down. I'm never going to run again just not to face my fears. I'm going to face reality and I'm going to fight with all my might.

Cloud leads the way as his hand tightens around mine, not wanting to let me go and that musters up a courage in me enough to do this task. Is it possible when just one man is enough to bring out the worst or best in you? I guess so. Cloud brings out the worst in me and yet he cherishes it. Cloud brings out the best in me and I know he loves it.

"We're here," I say, all of us skidding to a stop. My eyes roam around the area and this place hasn't changed even a bit. The trees are still standing high and mighty, the grass are still untrimmed and growing. The sun is blocked by the big trees, giving us a dim-lit area. I let go of my wolf at this place. I broke the Forbidden Law on this place. If my theory is correct, then it is just a matter of minutes before I see my wolf Furion again. I can't wait to have him back. "I have a feeling that I'm going to see Furion again. I can feel it." That thought brings out a smile on my lips, quirking slowly.

"Well, you'll get to see him," Cloud says with a huge smile. How come he can be so calm about this? He believes me so much that it scares me. He has put a lot of trust in me and I don't even know if I can bear it. I don't even know if I deserve his trust. It's his choice to trust me, and I need to prove him right that I am worthy of his trust. "I know that this is too much to deal with, Kieran. But you'll do just fine. We're here around you and we're going to keep protecting you. I am going to protect you, even if it costs my life."

I frown at his choice of statements, pushing him a bit and glaring daggers at him. "Don't say that. God, I don't want to see you die. Good Goddess knows how much you mean to me, asshole."

He chuckles as he wraps his arms around me, giving me another kiss on the forehead. Why can't he kiss me on the lips? He loves to kiss me on my forehead and that isn't enough. Am I being to selfish? Yes. I want to feel his lips on mine, always. Will I ever get tired of having his lips on mine? No. Am I being selfish? Yes.

"Enough of that, mutts." Nolan chuckles as he shakes his head at us. "Josiah and I are itching to use our magic already. Good Lord, I want to wield my magic so bad."

"Shut up, Nolan." Josiah says as he runs his fingers through his hair, grinning at us. "Although what Nolan said is true. I'm itching to use my power, to cast spell!"

"Right, a real life Harry Potter." Nolan mocks playfully, rolling his eyes.
