A week plague

Marsai

I never thought avoiding Fenrir would be easy.

He somehow knew everywhere I was going to be, so I made sure I was always engaged with my duties. I spent a whole week overlooking the development for the nursery for the young ones.

Various projects took my mind away and exhausted my body against thinking of him. And when I didn't have any pack project to run, Leah and Rudolph raced in our wolf forms to the hill for sightseeing.

But no matter how active I was, physically, it didn't deter my mind from going back to that night. The details were still vivid in my head. It was crammed in my brain and my treacherous body wants to relive it again.

I haven't known him for up to a month, so I knew I wasn't emotionally attached to him. How could that even be possible?

This stimulating erotic feeling must be influenced by the mate bond, and I knew the best step was to desert him till it stopped, but it didn't.

It was embarrassing to know that my body still craved for him even after I promised myself to never let him touch me.

I knew my ego had a play in this too but I convinced myself it was normal.

Just as it was normal to crave your mate. My ego and my hatred was the only sheet that kept me away from him.

Today, I decided to watch a training session since Leah and Rudolph would also be present. I knew Fenrir usually stayed away from the training ground.

Leah, Rudolph, and Elena were already there under a white canopy when I arrived.

"Hey.." I greeted, gesturing to my escort guards to be on their way.

"Good afternoon, how was the nursery tent?" Rudolph asked.

"Still in progress, thanks for asking since Leah doesn't care." I joked, sitting beside her.

"You know the only progress I want to know about.." She didn't have to be obvious about it.

"So…did he try to talk to you or are you guys still avoiding one another? “ She nudged my shoulders impatiently.

"Yes. And no, I haven't spoken to Alpha Fenrir yet. It's just- there hasn't really been a perfect time yet.." I drew closer to her, so the audience didn't eavesdrop even though they were aware of our current situation of unrest.

"Marsai…" Leah sighs.

"Can we just drop it...please? I came over to have a nice day—"

"And avoid the Alpha." She finished and I rolled my eyes.

Honestly, I don’t feel annoyed anymore, not even the slightest.

My initial excuse was the mark his chokehold left on Leah's neck. It was a constant reminder to be careful of his sudden ambiguous actions.

After using some healing clay from the pack healer, it was gone. It healed under the span of a few days.

My body was the root cause of the problem. I want to feel his touch so badly but I keep telling myself I shouldn't. Not this soon.

Though I have a strong wilful mind, my body wasn't. It was rather, wishful, aching for his touch again and surprisingly, the pain and torture too. That was something I couldn't wrap my head around.

I didn't have the courage to ask Leah if it was normal. The pleasure, I understood. But the pain? I wasn't a starving masochist. Yet, the feel of those bites over my skin elated some sense of arousal and tingles over my skin.

"Well, the Alpha is here. I don't know why he decided to come but he's on the other side of the field. Don't look because he looks good." Leah warned, narrowing her eyes on the opposite side of the field.

He stood magnificently staring directly at my direction, and I turned away quickly.

"We need to leave, quick." I started to panic.

She suddenly laughs like I said something fun, "What's funny?" I asked, confused.

"Act like we are engrossed in a conversation, don't make it obvious, we will leave soon." Leah whispered back.

So I followed suit.

The noise of distant horseshoes came into my hearing range stopping Leah from giving me a reply.

"Come on, our ride is early. I will explain once we get on the carriage." She lends me a hand, raising me up from the arm rest I sat on.

We looked around for Rudolph but he was nowhere to be found.

“Did he bail out on us?” I asked Leah.

She shook her head. “He was here a few minutes ago. Maybe the Alpha sent for him or he had errands.”

“Oh,” I nod. It didn't really feel comfortable with him tagging along anyway but I'm used to it. That's how it had always been.

“We don’t have to wait for him. I can protect you.” Leah hit her chest boastfully and I laughed.

“Then my life is in your hands.”

“No silly girl, your life is in the Alpha’s hands.” She tugged at my sleeve and we ran towards the carriage.

"We have so much to do today by the way, once we are done, you would be too tired, and you'd wish Alpha Fenrir was there to carry you to bed," Leah wiggles her brows at me playfully, making me roll my eyes.

She was becoming relentless with her mission to get me back on talking terms with Fenrir. I found it weird though. She was part the reason I kept my distance asides my own unstable libido issues.

We continue running, excitement sipping from our pores. It was the Alpha's special carriage. There was no way she got this from just asking, Fenrir just always knew about everything and nothing went past his sight, in and out of the Alpha quarters. Even in the whole pack.

I hate to admit that he is becoming a capable Alpha.

We got into the carriage. The inside was still as beautiful as I remembered. Deep velvet seats with royal blue cottons shield us from the sun and sight.

"Did Alpha Fenrir put you up to this?" I asked out of speculation. I mean, how else would she have gotten us the Alpha's carriage?..

"Are you serious right now, Marsai?" Leah stares at me in disbelief.

"How else do you explain landing the carriage for a day out?"
