Can I be loved (re-writing)

Chapter 9

Her fingers dug into his arm, as he held her close around the waist. His warm, minty breath, breezed down her neck as he tried to control his urges to take her.

Taking deep breathes, he loosened his embrace around her small, luscious figure. She began to shake in his arms, "wait, don't shift...you'll hurt yourself" her eyes turned misty, "Stop" he ordered making her freeze. He sighed, kissing the top of her head.

He kissed my head gently and lifted me into his arms once again. As he walked back to the med bay, he began to hum a soft tune in my ear and a slight purr could be heard. It was soothing me to sleep, like a mother would a child, I didn't even notice him placing me back in the bed I woke in. "I need to go and train some pups" he leans forward and kisses my forehead, leaving a tingling sensation "ill be back to get you for the pack meeting, I think the alpha want to introduce you to the other half of our large pack" he seemed reluctant to go, but he had no choice it was an order to train.

The med bay was in complete silence, outside I could hear the children giggling. I stared at the door he walked through, feeling quite alone, something I've never felt before, it made my heart squeeze every now and then. My body seemed relaxed but inside, an emotional war was happening. I want to be in his arms, feel his heat against my own, but then again I didn't want to feel the connection. My horse wanted respect and authority, but my heart wanted a voice and security. I sighed closing my eyes, and began to hum the tune, that Blake had before, feeling once again calm and turning me into a enteral slumber.

I was softly shaken awake, "poppet, it's time to wake up" my eyes opened to stare into a pair of icy blue eyes, that seemed to dazzle in the light. He chuckled at my dazed face, guiding a stranded piece of my hair behind my ear. The sweetest smell of coconuts and tropical fruit blowed gracefully towards me, making me breathe in to capture its heavenly fragrance, Blake chuckled again catching my attention.

His wavy, black silky hair was damp and tied in a loose pony tail. He wore a plain white shirt with the front tucked into his black loose jeans, that hugged his waist perfectly with a bulky silver belt, he had a pair of slip on black shoes and a brown leather hoodie with black cotton sleeves. He stood back holding up a coat hanger with a cream Dress that has a fold-over Peter Pan collar, a bow at the back and no sleeves, "the Luna gave me this for you, and these are from the elders" he lifted his other arm to show my brown satchel and black wedges, he placed them down on a chair and picked me up. He walked towards a door that opened into a small bathroom, "call me when your ready".

~ a few minutes later~

We were staring at each other, somewhat awkwardly. I was in a light blue towel standing in front of his sitting body, on my temporary bed in the med bay. He seemed to be having trouble as his eyes flickered, suddenly the doors opened to reveal the female elders from before, they giggled amongst each other as rose guided Blake outside. "come dear, lets get you ready" she chuckled.

"Were done, you look beautiful" the elders smiled as they agreed, looking at my struggling form on these stupid heels as I tried to re-gain balance, the doors opened once again to show a grinning Blake, he walked towards me with powerful steps and placed his firm arm around my waist keeping me steady "you've always looked stunning, no matter what you wear....mmm you smell nice" his chest rumbled with a purr, making the elders giggle and fan themselves with their hands, "come, the meeting will start soon" rose giggled pushing the ladies out.

In one graceful movement Blake had me in his arms once again, "how's your wound" I nodded stiffly holding onto his hoodie.

He carried me in a comfortable silence, as we walked closer to the meeting area, I breathed in loudly, allowing my face to go blank but my body was tense in Blake's arms, and in response he held me tighter. With a left turn we were greeted with new scents, my eyes glided through the crowded field and the small stage at the front. The pack were sitting in chairs, and the children were sat securely in there mothers and fathers laps. They were ordered in ranks, omegas at the back, Juveniles (middle rank) and at the front were the third in command, warriors, beta and alpha. At the front was an empty seat, reserved for the warriors leader.

Completely ignoring the packs eyes, Blake made his way straight there and sat with me in his lap facing the front. As the alpha began to speak, I found myself tuning in and out, "I would also like to thank our newest addition to the pack, she, alone protected our vehicles from the rogues, causing herself to be injured, however she is healing perfectly" I snapped out of my daze to look up to my new leader, "belle, is our newest, strongest protector, I wanted her treated with respect" the cheers were silenced when the alpha dismissed us, I slowly slid out of Blake's arms and stood with one hand on his knee to keep me steady. He waited silently until I was ready, then stood up holding my waist.

As the night carried on I felt my mood deteriorate, I wanted to shift and that was final. As if luck was on my side, Blake had to leave me in his previous chair, within his eye line, leaving me to calm myself in peace.

But of course my life was never that simple, "so your his bitch" my bored eyes looked upon four bimbos, not being able to help myself I began to smirk "what are you deaf, what the fuck does he see in you" the blonde with way too much perfume got in my face hissing, "she can't even stand up for herself, what a whore" my smirk widened into a smile as I felt my body begin to shake. They laughed "aww poor baby, she's crying...i though you were our new protector" one cackled, and with that I changed.

My wound forgotten, my clothes forgotten, they screamed as I blew hot air into their faces. Their necks cranked up to look into my face with fear as I began to stalk, around me where many shocked faces from the new pack, however the others took control and hid the children from my rage.

"SILENCE" the alpha bellowed causing them all to bow down in respect, but me, I was unaffected by his position. Blake hand appeared beside side, stroking my mane, but my horse wasn't amused by his presence and she completely ignored him however she didn't move away, she was torn apart like me.

"Report" the alpha stood in front of me with his back facing me, "we w-were being friendly sir, b-but she tried to hurt me when I asked if she wanted t-to be friends" bimbo one cried stupidly, as bimbo two failed her drama classes when she whimpered into the floor. Rolling my eyes, I began to step forward making but Blake's body appeared hugging my face, with his large hand on my jaws. I paused glaring into his eyes, which he gave back making my huff loudly, "BULL, don't even try to lie, I can bloody see it in your mind, now get in my office...NOW" they whimpered away with the alpha hot on their heels.

"I told you not to shift" the male rested his head on the horses large forehead, she tried to pull away but he held his ground, "now stay still while I'll check" he walked around her keeping one hand in her at all times, the scabs were stretched but not bleeding, he smiled as her muscles tightened and relaxed at his touch. He stood in front of her again and took of his jacket, "shift" her body began to fight against her will at his single command, tiredly she gave up and collapsed to the floor asleep, in her dress only. He guided her arm through each sleeve then zipped up the front, and picked her up slowly.

He sighed knowing he was in for a bumpy ride, till he earned her undying trust.

The trapped sun behind a layer of ice, he would melt that ice.
