The Alpha's Thirst (temporarily on hold)

Chapter 19 - Mated

ELLA'S POV

Why did I do that?!

I needed him, I had so much desire for him. Why couldn't I just let myself give in?

Something had to be missing emotionally. I didn't know what else I could do though.

"Ella, you are perfect in every single way. I didn't know my life before you could be so dull compared to this, and you mean the world to me." Nick said, almost knowing what I was thinking.

"I do know what you're thinking." He said, and I gasped.

"We've unlocked the mind-link." he said.

For example, this.

His voice inside of my head made me flinch in surprise.

Try it.

I focused hard on a message that I could send to Nick. It had to be meaningful.

I liked it when you spanked me.

Well, God, I ruined it. Nick smirked and chuckled a little.

"Anyways, as I was saying. I want to make my intentions clear with you. I will spend the rest of my life protecting you and making you happy." he said calmly.

I smiled, it was nice that he cared so much. Something was obviously going right if we could read each other's thoughts.

A wave of heat rushed over me, more intense than any of the previous ones.

"Are you okay?" Nick asked, coming over to comfort me as I winced.

"I'm good, I'm good." I reassured him, squinching my face in pain.

He took my hand, his nostrils flaring when he inhaled, and we went back to our room so I could lay down. It felt like a thousand degrees, I pushed the covers off of myself Nick turned on the fan for me.

I panted, my neck sweating and heating up the pillow. Nick's eyes stayed on me, almost waiting for the okay to pounce on me.

His nostrils flared again and he took a deep breath, then closed his eyes, seemingly trying to compose himself.

"Nick?" I asked, another cramp hitting my gut.

"What?" he snapped out of it, and looked at me concerned.

"Are you okay?" I asked, my eyes half shut.

"I can smell all of your hormones and emotions, I have to focus on controlling my wolf." he explained.

Another hour passed by of me laying down and watching TV while I suffered the waves of heat and intense body aches.

Nick came out of the bathroom from his shower and his nose flared again when he entered the room. He took a deep breath and I looked at his shiny tan muscles, and his wet slicked back hair.

He looked hot.

He was wearing nothing but a towel hanging on his hips revealing his V-line and his ungodly torso, and I was in a tank top and the shortest shorts I could find, due to the excruciating heat.
