A Winters Memory

Chapter Eighteen

Dahlia moved about the kitchen humming to herself as she continued to prepare the meal for the members as well as herself and Ara. Thinking of Ara, she turned to look out the window, a sigh escaping her lips as she shook her head.

If those two weren't careful they were going to get caught, it was a miracle it had lasted as long as it has. The Alpha was a horrid man, but he wasn't stupid. Maybe he did already know of their secret meetings and he was just waiting for the right time to pounce.

She shook her head again not wanting to think about that and hoping the Alpha didn't know about them. The sound of light footfalls broke away her attention, turning she spotted Amelia staring at her and looking around the room before her gaze moved back to her.

"Yes?"

Dahlia stared at her curiously. Amelia pursed her lips and shook her head.

"Never mind..."

Dahlia narrowed her eyes at the pixie-like girl.

"If you are looking for your brother he's gone out for a run." 

Amelia's lips twisted a bit as if she were biting down on the inside of her cheek.

"Oh..."

She turned to walk away, her feet stopping just before the door and lingering for a moment.

"I know they're together... If you were really her friend, you would try to convince her to stop seeing my brother..."

She whispered just loud enough for Dahlia to hear her before leaving the kitchen without another word leaving the silence hanging between them with enough tension to slice through like a sharp knife.

Dahlia shook her head. "Daft little girl..."

She thought aloud. Didn't that girl know that she had already tried convincing Ara and Alec to stop their little shenanigans? Dahlia had voiced her opinion on the matter countless times but the two never seemed to heed her words even while both knew very well what the consequences of their actions entailed.

She shook her head again and went back to her business mumbling curses every so often of how much she despised the people of this home and how much she loathed the creature who ran this said pack.

He was a vile and ruthless creature who cared for no one but himself and his selfish needs. He needed to be knocked off his pedestal and run to the ground like the worthless thing he was.

She swore to whoever had been listening up or below that she would be the one to deliver the deadly blow and she would gladly bathe in his blood as it cooled.

"I love you, Ara."

Alec's words sent shivers down her spine as his hot breath tickled along her ear.

She smiled and pressed her lips to his silencing the sound desperately attempting to escape her lips as he moved between her thighs, sliding in and out of her, quenching their need for one another with each movement of his hips.

His strong arms lay on either side of her holding up some of his weight from her making sure to not crush her beneath him. It was moments like this that Ara cherished most, it wasn't just the lovemaking, no, it was far more than that.

It was the feeling of being whole with him; feeling how much he loved and wanted her with more than just his body.

It was everything between the two of them and even if the time didn't last long between each visit she loved each and every moment of their time together whether it be just a glance between the two or a moment of lying in each other's arms.

With a final thrust of his hips, a warm sensation seeped into her as he filled her with his seed for the fifth time since they had first made love.

He knew doing this would cause her to grow round with his pups, but he couldn't care less, he wished he could see the glow of her skin when her belly swelled.

He wanted this more than anything and he would give anything to see it happen, though in the back of his mind he knew that only danger could come from such an action.

He would reap the consequences when his father found out but until then, he would enjoy the time they had together and continue to hope for a future together where they could live without his father's undying scrutiny.
