Chapter 33

*Athena’s POV*
I slowly wake up to the sound of small birds chirping outside the window and the soft breathing of my mate. Soft sun light permeates the blue drapes that cover the windows and fills the room with early morning rays. His arms are wrapped around me tightly and giving no sign my letting go. I look into his face and only find peace. His lips are slightly parted and his face remains slack in sleep. It’s crazy how fast he stole my heart. I don’t think he could be more perfect.
I reach and lightly part his hair out of the way. Then I gently trace the delicate, detailed lines and swirls on his forehead. I wonder what makes this mark so special. Each wolf pack is unique and have their own gifts. Like mine with our powers. So how is his pack connected to the goddess? Now that I think about it, it hasn’t been said how we are descended from the original werewolves that came into being. I will have to look into it when we return home.
His sleeping face brings me serenity and calmness. I haven’t felt this peace in years. The last time I felt this at ease is before I knew I was in line to become alpha.
He slightly shifts and takes in a deep breath. I jerk my hand away from his face and freeze. However he brings me closer to him and goes back to silence. It seems he hasn’t woken up yet. I reach my hand and lightly stroke his soft cheek. His flawless skin feels like pure silk under my fingers. I’m looking forward to getting to know him better and finding out more about him. There’s no way someone as perfect as him has any flaws.
His lips curl into a smile and his sleepy eyes flutter open. Even though they are sleepy they are filled with adoration. I smile slightly and don’t retract my hand.
“Morning, Angel.” He says while stretching out. I slightly sit up and do the same.
“How long have you been awake?” I ask.
“For a few minutes. I woke up to the feeling of you tracing my forehead.I pretended to keep sleeping to see what you would do. I thought you would do something corny, like kiss me like sleeping beauty.” He chuckles and goes to sit up.
“You’re right. That is corny.” I giggle and get up from the bed. “I’ll admit, I haven’t slept that good in a long time.”
“Well, ill be happy to service you again tonight.” He says while going into his bag and pulling out cloths to change into. I go and do the same and instead of going into the bathroom I stay right where I am and begin to change. I lay them on the bed and turn my back to Silas and take off my yoga pants. I replace my sports bra and underpants with a my matching vibrant red lacy underwear. Just as im about to grab my dark blue jeggings, I hear Silas growl from the other side of the bed. I slightly and quickly turn towards him and see his eyes have gone completely black. His eyes are wide and looking up and down my body. He starts to slowly walk towards me and I can conflict within his eyes. He is trying to fight off his wolf. Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea. He takes his head into hands and breathes in and out heavily.
Before I could consider an escape route, he tackles me onto the bed and locks my hands above my head. However he doesn’t do anything. He is still slightly shaking his head and staring. Eventually some of the violet color comes back to his eyes but he’s still fighting. For the first time in my life, I cant decide whether to fight him off or to let him continue.
“Stop it you asshole! Give me back control!” He yells with difficulty.
“Im sorry, I should have changed in the bathroom.” I say. All he does is look at me.
“Once my wolf caught sight of you like this, he became unstoppable.” He explains. “He wants to mark you right here and now whether we like it or not.”
Then his face descends and whispers in my ear. “He wants to be balls deep in your tight pussy and make you scream my name in ecstasy. Then taste your sweet nectar as you are shaking in pure pleasure.”
My face begins to burn in response of his sexy words. Blanche becomes aroused by his statement and purrs at the thought.
Then a knock sounds at the door. His eyes quickly return to normal and he jumps off me. I quickly hop off the bed and pull on my jeggings and red tank top. I run and open the door and find Celeste outside with a sly smirk.
“I swear I’m going to strangle you someday.” I sigh and she giggles.
“Well, that answers my unsaid question. It’s seven, we should go grab something to eat before we hit the road. Everyone else is up and ready. So hurry your asses up. I don’t wanna catch you fucking like rabbits again.” She laughs and turns to leave. I literally face palm myself. She acts like she knows everything.
I turn and find Silas sitting on the bed with his arms crossed. I close the door and approach him.
“What’s wrong?” I ask.
“Why didn’t you fight me off? I was ready to devour you right there and then.” He asks. His eyes are guarded and emotionless. He doesn’t want me to see the hope behind them.
“Well, maybe I wanted you too.” I say bluntly and grab my brush out of my bag. I walk to the bathroom and brush out my hair. He takes a minute, but he gets up and I here his footsteps coming towards the bathroom. He look in the mirror and he is leaning against the frame of the doorway.
I smooth my hair into a high ponytail and turn around to face him.
“You don’t have to lie. I could see the uncertainty in your eyes when I forced myself on you.” He says. I could almost hear a bit of disappointment in his voice.
“I’m not lying, before Celeste interrupted I was thinking maybe this wouldn’t be so bad. To be honest I wasn’t going to stop you.” I sigh and sit on the closed toilet. “I guess I did that whole naked thing without knowing I wanted you to lose control.”
I rest my chin on my propped hand and ponder. Then another knock sounds at the door.
“You two better not be having sex! Hurry up, we’re hungry!” Atlas yells from the other side of the door. I sigh and go to get up.
“Guess we better get out there.” I say and go to walk past him. One step out of the bathroom, he grabs my wrist and yanks me back towards him. He places his hands on my face and cups my cheeks. His lips crash onto mine and my eyes widen in surprise. I can feel his need and passion. Our tongues start to explore each other mouths and my arms wrap around his waist.
He pulls away and we are both breathless. He gives me a sexy smile and his thumb traces over my bottom lip. “It would have been nice to be with you while you were in those extremely hot undergarments but when I take you I want enough time for my lips to be introduced to every inch of your body and I want to taste every flavor it has to offer.”
I shutter at the mere notion, and my wolf does the same.
We finally get pack and head out into the living area and find everyone has been sitting around waiting for us.
“About damn time! Thought we were going to die of starvation.” Alaric sighs and they all get up.
“I doubt those two are hungry. Now that they got their fill of each other.” Celeste giggles. Silas and I give her simultaneous glares. It’s obviously not true but it seems everyone else believes it, because they give us disgusted looks and gag.
“That’s not true.” I groan and we all head out with our packed bags to check out. Lucky for me, that skank woman isn’t working this morning. We turn in our keys and we head to the SUV right outside.
I look up the nearest diners, and find there is a small local one about 2 miles away. It has a higher rating and many locals love it. I show it to Silas and he nod in approval and so does everyone else. We pull out of the hotel parking lot and starting going into the cute little town where the diner is located
Thinking of delious food got my mind off what a slut i was being ealier,
