Bound to the moonlight Part 7

I smiled fondly as I watched Dessie sleep in my arms. She was the most beautiful girl in the world; it felt as if it hurt my eyes just to look at her. I pressed a kiss softly to her forehead her skin felt warm and feverish, she smiled and gave a small little wriggle causing her long hair to fall off her neck and I shivered as I saw the wound there. I felt bile rising in my throat in pure disgust at myself I had nearly ripped half of her throat out. It had been a long time since I had flipped out at feeding so much. But I had completely lost my mind this time. I could have killed her, if she was a human there is no if about it she would be dead. It was the fact that her blood was starting to slow so significantly that shocked me out of my frenzy, the knowledge that it was my girl here and that I was killing her, That thought was the reason I could pull my teeth from her throat. She was healing quickly because she was a wolf after all the wound had already stopped bleeding the skin knitting back together. but it was clear that the scar would still be visible for several days but I couldn't regret it to be honest I loved the fact that she would have such a visible show of our bond there for all to see if anyone would try, which I don't think any nearby vampires would do but just in case. I smiled at her and wrapped my arms around her tightly pressing my nose deep into her hair, inhaling the light scent of her which was wafting up from her long hair.

"I love you." I whispered, and Dessie shuffled a little with a smile as she nuzzled her nose into my chest. I loved to watch her sleep like this, I had been watching her so closely since she was five years old but that was distant. I had watched her sleep a million times but I had only watched her contently sleeping in my arms once before. It was like the first time we had kissed. I had kissed her a million times before on her forehead, cheeks and lips, but the first time that she had responded the first time that she had wanted me and kissed me back it world seemed to almost explode bursting into colour and life. Just being that bit closer made all the difference. I couldn't believe what had happened between us, finally she was mine. I loved her so much and I always had, I knew I always would. But I couldn't believe that she had finally learnt to trust me, she had finally destroyed the only boundary between us, allowing us to be completely together. I nuzzled down into her hair closing my eyes and ignoring the tingling that had begun in my skin, it was a quiet sort of whisper that I instinctively knew signalled the impending dawn. I could sense the sun long before it rose. I had spent a fair amount of time in my earlier youth waiting out the sun as if playing a weird game of chicken just so I could know how intense the feeling would be right before sunrise and I was so glad I had done that because I knew that right now I had time.

"Michael." Dessie whimpered,

"Shhhh shhhh." I whispered, rocking her as she began to whine and squeak a sound that I knew would change into a scream as her nightmare progressed. "Shhh it's alright Dessie." I said quietly stroking her hair softly. "Its aright I'm here with you Des and I won't let anybody hurt you I promise nobody is going to hurt you." I wrapped my arms around her tightly

"Matt." She whispered, I smiled sadly hating how she still dreamt of her brothers. I held her pressed tightly into my chest. "Matt" She quickly quietened and just nuzzled down into my chest slipping into a deeper sleep. I kissed her and settled myself down on the pillows next to my love quite content to just lay here and watch her sleep.

I growled as my skin tingled to the point of pain, I sighed there was nothing else I could do I had to go the sun would be cresting the horizon in minutes. Though it was tempting to just lie here I had to be logical. I pressed a kiss gently to Desire's forehead and eased my arms from around her. She squirmed uncomfortably as I laid her down in the pillows.

"shhhh." I whispered stroking her hair gently and she quietened settling herself down. I glanced around the room and couldn't help but smile as I spotted the way that our clothing was scattered across the room. I retrieved my jeans from the foot of the bed wriggling myself into the stiff fabric. I walked across the room to retrieve my black t-shirt which had been flung to the floor there, as I picked it up I instantly froze, my nose twitching, I might now have the intense sense of smell that wolves had but I knew the scent that floated up to me I had smelt such things often enough. I dropped my shirt and lowered myself down to me knees and picked up the bundle of soft grey fabric. It was a hoodie I lifted it to my nose and inhaled deeply, the scent filling my nose confirmed it to me the scent lingering on the hoodie mingled with Dessie's light feminine scent was that of a wolf. My eyes narrowed as they snapped to Dessie. She was lying to me. Jealousy flooded me so intense that I was actually shocked by the intensity of it. I glanced down to see my hands holding the fabric had curled into tight fists, so tight that my nails were biting into the palm causing blood to slip down my hands to the floor. A loud growl reverberated through the room and I shook myself as I realised that it was me making that noise. I turned my eyes sharply on Dessie still growling as I narrowed my eyes on her, she had lied to me I was shocked by how intense the jealousy had suddenly become. I took a single step towards her before stopping dead, my growls stopped and I smiled feeling my sharp fangs biting into my lower lip. I couldn't hurt her, however temping it might be not on purpose anyway, She was too important to valuable potentially anyway. I had hurt her accidentally of course simply because my muscles purely held to much strength for her body to withstand wolf or not. But intentionally hurting her because I was annoyed with her, no I couldn't do that. My smile widened, but him, oh yeah I could hurt him. I walked over to the side of the bed and brushed the hair from her face. He was going to have to die, because Dessie was mine and I wasn't going to let a fucking rogue get near her as they had no honour, they could do anything to her and they weren't going to do that to my girl.
