Inescapable Love

Chapter Twenty-One: Mistake

Jordan was amazed by his sharpened hearing and eyesight, and it began to slightly annoy me as we traipsed through the woods. He kept gasping and emitting sounds of wonder, shock, and amazement. At first it was easy to ignore, but now it was irritating. I clenched my jaw until we finally emerged into a small clearing. I saw Chris standing beside Mark, who was still trembling slightly in fear.

"Okay, so all I have to do is bite you like I did before and you'll be a wolf. Alright?" Chris was explaining. Mark quickly shook his head, and Jordan skidded to a halt when he heard what Chris said.

"I don't wanna be bitten again." Jordan said instantly. I rolled my eyes.

"Relax, it only hurts for a second. Kinda like a needle I guess." I said with a shrug. Mark shot me a hate-filled glare.

"Needles don't hurt." He mouthed off, making me instantly hate him.

"To some people they do." I snapped back, seeing Chris chuckling a little. I glared at him.

"Anyway, let's get to it so I can show you two how to be wolves." Chris interrupted, sounding extremely bored. I sighed and sat on the edge of a large boulder, waiting for his little training session to commence.

"Fine. I'll to first, since she apparently says it feels like a needle." He said in a mocking tone, glancing over at me. I heard Chris' low warning growl.

"Don't talk about her like that or you'll find yourself on your ass on the other side of this field." He snapped angrily. Mark gulped.

"Sorry." He said quickly, and I looked down to hide my smirk. I was glad Chris was the alpha around here, and I was even gladder that he was my mate.

When Jordan and Mark were both changed into wolves, I was astonished at how stupid they acted. I was sure I hadn't acted that way when Chris had turned me... Jordan was pouncing around trying to catch a butterfly with his teeth and Mark was rolling around barking and wagging his tail.

Are you sure you picked the right people? I mentally asked Chris, feeling concerned. He looked across the clearing at me and chuckled a little, shrugging like he thought it didn't really matter who he chose.

They'll learn to fight soon enough. Came his reply. I sighed and sat back on the rock, waiting for the two new pack members to stop their childish antics and actually learn how to belong to the pack.

Can you teach me how to fight separately? I asked after a few moments of silence. Chris smirked at me and then slowly walked over to where I was seated, sitting down next to me. He leaned down and kissed my neck softly.

"We'd probably end up doing little to no training." He whispered, turning my face until my lips met his. I smiled and pulled away slightly.

"And why is that?" I asked playfully. He chuckled.

"Cause I can't be that close to you and actually take things seriously. I wouldn't be able to teach you properly." He explained.

"Oh." Well that sucked. "But you can try." I said, winking a little. He shook his head and kissed me again, deepening the kiss when I kissed him back. Mark and Jordan were still too preoccupied to even notice us, so I kept kissing Chris until he finally pulled away. He gave me a small smile before he stood up and walked back over to Mark and Jordan.

"Alright guys, now I'm gonna teach you how to phase back, okay?" They both whined, looking slightly nervous, but Chris just continued staring at them until they finally nodded.

Ten minutes later, they had finally succeeded in shifting back to human form. I would've applauded just to piss Mark off if I hadn't been so bored.

"Are they done for the day?" I asked Chris for my benefit. He smiled.

"Yeah, they're done. Mark, Jordan, you guys can go home, but remember, you tell anyone what you are and you're dead. Got it?" They both nodded nervously. "Good. Then go." He motioned in the direction of the woods and they darted off, leaving Chris and I alone. I walked up to him and wrapped my arms around him, kissing him softly.

"Alone at last." I said with a sigh. He chuckled and kissed me again, his tongue slipping into my mouth. I stroked his curls and held him as close as I could, feeling his arms wrap around me and pull me even closer. I really wanted him, despite the fact that we had slept together last night. "Can we make love?" I wondered fleetingly. He smiled and kissed me softly.

"Of course." He reached down and took my hand. "Run with me back home?" He asked softly. I nodded and smiled, and the next thing I knew we were both racing through the woods as wolves. I pushed myself faster, wanting to get home before him, but I was hopelessly lost behind him as he sprinted forward. He must be more eager than me. What a shame.

When we finally arrived home, I stopped and panted for breath, my paws at shoulder width to brace myself. My tail and ears drooped, and I heard Chris bark with humor. I lifted my head tiredly and growled at him before changing back to human form. He followed suit and then walked up to me, kissing me again.

"Let's go inside." He suggested, and I nodded, taking his hand and entering the house. I practically dragged him upstairs, but he followed willingly enough on his own. Once we got upstairs, I laid down on the bed, pulling him down on top of me. I kissed him deeply and tugged at the hem of his shirt, wanting it off. He chuckled and slipped it over his head, tossing it to the floor. I admired his chest like I had done so many times before, and then I kissed his neck down to his shoulder before kissing his lips again. He hungrily kissed me back, sliding my shirt off and then removing my bra. I moaned a little when he sucked on my neck, and I could tell his eyes were glowing with passion.

"I love you." I said as he reached down to unbutton my pants.

"I love you too." He whispered as we finally finished removing each other's clothes. He grabbed a condom and slipped it on before he slid into me without warning, causing me to gasp.

"C-Chris... Mmh." I moaned, gripping his curls and arching my back as he continued sucking on my neck. His hands gripped my waist as he rolled his hips back and forth repeatedly. My moans continued, and he bit his lip, his forehead creasing in concentration. The only sounds I could hear were our labored breathing and my soft moans, begging him not to stop.

He groaned when he came and I gasped, moaning a little louder.

"Fuck... That felt different." I said, breathing hard. He pulled away and raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?"

"I... I don't know. It just felt different. Are you sure you're wearing a condom?" I asked breathlessly. He hesitantly pulled out and I heard him curse.

"What?" I asked worriedly, seeing him look up at me apologetically.

"The condom ripped." He said in a hollow voice. My heart skipped a beat.

"Shit..." He groaned and rolled over, sitting up and putting his head in his hands.

"I can't BELIEVE this." He said angrily. "We can't have kids right now. Adam and his pack are out of control, my pack's out of control, we're still in school...." He trailed off, just repeatedly cussing under his breath. I gently touched his shoulder.

"M-Maybe I won't get pregnant." I said, trying to look at the bright side, but I was doubtful. I'd probably get pregnant and ruin everything. He didn't need to be worrying about me and a baby when he was already dealing with pack issues. It was just too much stress on him.

"Damn... I'm such an idiot." He said, taking a deep breath and staring at the wall, his jaw clenching. I wrapped my arms around him, laying my head against his chest.

"It's not your fault. Look, if I AM pregnant, then we'll get through this together. I promise."
