His Christmas Miracle

Victoria borrowed into the warmth of her mate behind her and moaned. The feeling of his hard muscular body against her was enough to cause desire to rocket through her body. Again she moaned and gasped his name out when his hardened body rubbed up against her. She let out a whine when the warmth of her mate suddenly left her.

 Micah sat up and grabbed his mate with such force that he was afraid that he might hurt her."Sound came out of your mouth just now. When we mated last night, you couldn't make sounds of any kind. You just moaned and then gasped my name. Try again, Kitten, please, for me." Micah frowned looking at her face. She was scared but intrigued as well. He knew that they were wondering the same thing. Could the claiming bite and mating allowed her damaged vocal cords to heal?

Victoria licked her lips as she mentally prepared for what she was about to attempt. "Mic-ah....." Her eyes were the largest feature on her face and her skin was pale as can be with shock. Suddenly, Victoria squealed in joy and jumped into her mates lap.

Calming her took some doing. Micah could understand, she had not spoken in over five years. Suddenly, it seems that she could speak after all. "I know you're excited, Kitten, and you have every right to be. But, we need to get the doctor to come out and look at your throat before we get to excited. I'm being a killjoy, I know. But, I don't want your hopes to be dashed if this turns out to be a temporary event. OK?" At her nod, Micah picked her up and wrapped her legs around his waist and carried her to his office. First things first, he called his Alpha and Luna, Alex and Andrea, to let them know that he was taking mating leave. Next, he called the pack doctor.

"Alright, Kitten, he's on his way. Let's get you fed and some coffee in you before he gets here. OK?" They were just finishing their breakfast when a knock came on the front door. "That should be the doctor, Kitten. You stay where you are, I'll bring him in here." Patting her on the shoulder, enjoying the tingles, he exited the room and went to answer the front door.

"Ah, Doc. Glad you could make it so quickly. My mate's in the kitchen. Coffee? We just finished breakfast and there's still some coffee left. Would you like a cup?"

"No thank you, Beta. My mate has taken good care of me, and even put a coffeemaker in my office." Chuckling, he went on to tell Micah that his mate said that he was to much trouble to keep up with in the coffee department. Micah arched a brow at that. "Yeah, I pretty much live on the stuff some days. Awful, I know. Ahhh, here's the pretty patient." 

"Kitten, this is the pack doctor. He's here to examine you and see if your throat and vocal cords are any better. Let him examine you, ok?"

 At her nod, Micah went ot sit down across the table from her. When her expression became anxious, he got up and placed his hands on her shoulders. Instantly she relaxed. Leaning down after the doctor was finished, Micah looked at Victoria. "Sweetheart, no matter what, I still love you. You are my mate, and your ability to speak or not, will not affect that."

At her nod, Micah looked at the doctor, letting him know that they were ready. "Well Beta, it's quite simple, really. The mating and claiming bite are responsible for a lot of things, In this case, it seems to have finished the very slow healing process. Her vocal cords appear to be healthy and intact. In fact, they are not even over stretched. They appear to be completely healthy." Turning to Victoria he gave her some instructions. "Now you young lady. I expect you to take it easy on your voice. No screaming or squealing. Rest you voice often. No loud talking. No talking for long periods of time. I'm almost 100% sure they are completely healed, however, I still want you to take it easy for a week or so. OK?" Patting her head, he gathered his things and let himself out the back door, leaving the two lovebirds alone.

Victoria looked at Micah and crooked her finger. When he was once again sitting down, she climbed into his lap. Grabbing his face between her hands, she looked deep into his eyes. Leaning down, she gently placed her lips on his, before pulling away, Talking in a soft voice she spoke. 

"When we met, I was surprised to say the least. I never thought that I would have a mate. I had always thought that I was defective and that something was wrong with me. So, I carried on with my life and pretended that it didn't hurt that I didn't have a mate. When my fiance was killed in a car accident last Christmas, I wanted to die with him. Not because I loved him, but because I was living a lie and I was ashamed of myself. Michael deserved so much better than me. We got engaged because we were both lonely and tired of trying to find someone special. So, even now, I'm holding my breath, afraid that the moon goddess will be angry with me and take you from me as well. Then, when I woke up this morning and spoke, I knew that she had forgiven me for being lonely. She knew what we both needed. That's why she gave us each other." Leaning into him again, she kissed him again. This time, the kiss was passionate and intense and would lead them to the bedroom. After all Micah thought, it was time they celebrated their Christmas miracle.
