Chapter 99

Charlie POV

I felt terrible and wonderful, I loved Daniel, and I was so happy we took the next step in our relationship, but I was devastated that we could have endangered the future of the world. And I could feel the stress he was feeling thanks to our new connection. As childish as it was, I was also terrified of telling my mother I was planning on spending my life with a man, that as far as she was concerned, I barely knew, and was my boss. As much as I loved her, I didn’t want her to lecture me like I was a stupid teenager, I knew it was fast, but it was also fate, and who could fight fate? Or explain it without sounding like an idiot.
“Hey, what’s got you so stressed?” He suddenly asked, it shocked me out of my thoughts. We were back in the hotel room, to grab our passports and a couple of other essentials as well as some toiletries. Neither of us had much of an idea of the amenities the private plane would offer and wanted to have everything we could need before we left.
“I’m just feeling everything. I’m so happy, but I feel guilty about that and... I’m worried about what my mother is going to say. It’s not like I can explain the mate bond to her, or that our relationship started before I knew you were my boss, so stress.” I laughed humourlessly.
“We could tell her we met online, used usernames, got chatting, liked each other and met in real life after you got the job?” Daniel offered, I thought about it for a moment, but it didn’t feel right, I had never lied to my mother before.
“Can’t we tell her the truth? We are going to have to come up with a reason we need to find my father, why can’t we just tell her everything? She’s going to find out eventually, like when we have kids? And she comes to visit the pack? I’m going to want her at my Luna ceremony!” I ranted, feeling overwhelmed.
“When we have kids?” He asked, his face lighting up.
“IF! If we have kids, and don’t change the subject, this is serious. Please? I just don’t want to lie to my mother.” I finished quietly, feeling ridiculous for even saying anything.
“Okay, okay. I’m sorry, and you’re right, we are going to have to tell her everything eventually, maybe we should just get it over with.” He shrugged, which allowed me to take the first deep breath since we marked each other.
“Thank you, how long do we have before we have to leave for the airport?” I asked, I needed a distraction from the whole new round of nerves I had brewing.
“We have a little time, the flight should take about nine and a half hours, but with the time difference, we will get in sometime in the early hours of the morning. I thought it might be better to go back to the pack house, get a couple of hours of sleep, and go from there first thing to your mother’s. We can stay until around two, but we have to be on the plane back by three... does that sound doable?” He asked concerned.
“Yeah, that sounds good,” I mumbled, I was worried about missing the Alphas’ meeting, and causing more trouble.
“Hey, come here, we will get through this.” He said, he wrapped me up in his arms and made me feel small and precious, his touch calmed my frazzled nerves and untangled the mess of thoughts in my mind. “We will find out everything we need to know from your mother and be back in time for the Alphas. We can do this, I can make everything right, I will do whatever it takes to make things right.” He whispered into my hair.
“We will make it right, I’m the one who got us into this mess,” I said to his chest, unable to look him in the eye.
“You might have got rid of Hyacinth, but I’m the one who convinced her to remove the spell, then marked you, it’s just as much my fault as yours.” He insisted, he lifted my chin and kissed me softly when he was done.
“That wasn’t your fault, neither of us could resist the pull, but thank you for trying to make me feel better,” I replied and planted a kiss of my own on his lips.
“Anything for my queen.” He teased with a smile.
“Are you nearly done packing? I only have a couple of things left to throw in a bag.” I asked, I was trying to change the subject, I could feel his erection growing against my thigh.
“Yeah, I’m almost done... you know, we do have time to celebrate marking each other, if you want?” He asked, his lips moved down my neck until he reached my freshly made mark. He licked the wound, which made me shiver and gasp. Then he started sucking on it gently and my legs gave out, the sensation was beyond anything I had ever felt before, it was like he was sucking on my clit, teasing my g-spot, and biting my nipples at the same time.
“We, ah, w-w-we don’t uh, ha-have time. Oh GOD!” I stammered and moaned as he continued his assault. “Besides, d-d-didn’t you saaaay, ha, didn’t you say something about a bedroom on the plane?” I rushed out the last sentence, half convinced I was going to have an orgasm if he didn't stop.
“Fine.” He said after he finally released my neck. I nearly collapsed, my panties were drenched, and I was panting. “If, the moment we can escape to that bedroom, I get to do whatever I want to you?” He said, he straightened his neck, and looked into my eyes, with a mischievous grin.
“What exactly do you want to do?” I asked, curious and apprehensive, I had no idea how soundproof the plane walls would be.
“Something I think you will enjoy.” He said cryptically before he captured my lips with his and pressed our bodies together. “Maybe I will just kiss and lick every inch of your body?” He said with a groan, as we parted to finish packing.
“I thought things would calm down after we marked each other, but you seem just as bad as before!” I chuckled, as I grabbed the last of my toiletries and threw them in the small bag I would be travelling with.
“When you finished marking me, and your teeth left my skin, I felt a power... I’ve never felt anything like that before. I feel stronger than ever, I have more energy, I don’t know how to explain it, but I feel amazing. Didn’t you feel anything?” He asked me seriously.
“No, I mean, I felt my powers, even if I still haven’t got a handle on using them properly,” I replied, I looked at him confused. “What do you think it means?”
“It has to be something to do with us, right? I don’t see what else it could be!” He replied, as he placed the last of his things in his bag and zipped it up.
“You mean me, do you think it was because of my powers?” I asked, afraid of the answer, but unable to think of another reason.
“I can’t think of anything else... can you?” He asked quietly.
“No, I can’t.” I replied, unable to look him in the eye. “But how do you feel now? Is it the same or was it just in that moment?” I asked, desperate to find another cause.
“Honestly, I’ve never felt this strong before, I have so much energy, and it’s hard to describe, but I feel healthier, younger, I dunno just more than I was.” He explained, he clenched and stretched his hands while staring at them.
“What do you mean?” I asked, my concern for him was growing within me.
“I don’t know, the moment the mate bond was complete, I just felt this surge of... I don’t even know what flowed through me. It’s like I was given a shot of adrenaline or something, but it's not fading, and I feel like all my senses have been heightened. I’m not making much sense, am I?” He asked as he looked at me.
“Are you sure it wasn’t just your wolf waking up?” I asked, I still felt guilty I had disconnected him from the other half of himself. “I mean, you’ve never been without him before, maybe what your feeling is that?” I asked, unsure of how my powers could make Daniel stronger.
“I don’t think so, he was already back before I felt... whatever this is.” He replied, he came back to hold me, the bond allowed him to feel how terrible I felt for what I had done. “I don’t blame you; it wasn’t your fault. You were only trying to protect yourself and Dermot, if I wasn’t crazed, and jealous, and chasing you both, you never would have had to use your powers. I forgive you, completely, and always.” He kissed me softly, and I felt nothing but love through the bond, it made me want to cry with happiness, but didn’t absolve me of my guilt.
“Same,” I said with a smile, I kissed him deeply and pulled him closer to me. He lifted me gently, his hands under my ass, and carried me to the bed, our hunger for each other grew with every touch. Until the phone started ringing, it made us both groan and then laugh helplessly at our interrupted moment.
“Yeah?” Daniel asked he picked up the phone once he had his chuckles under control, but seeing an opportunity to tease me, he slipped his hand into my pants, and his fingers moved inside me easily. “We will be down in a few minutes, thank you.” He huffed; he was still looking at me with unbridled lust. “Our ride is here; we have to go.” He said, he removed his fingers from my pants and sucked them clean with gusto, which made me blush and made him chuckle.
