In The Beginning, Chapter 10 - I Want You
Daniel POV
I held Charlie close, she had fallen asleep in my arms, I felt her exhaustion before she cuddled into me, unfortunately I had the energy and the inclination to keep going all night. I removed my still hard cock from inside her, eliciting a whimper from her, and lay her head on the pillows. I had to return to our room to get a washcloth, looking at the destruction again, I hated myself. I retrieved what I needed and returned to Charlie, after cleaning her, I covered her with the sheets, and headed for my office. It was too late to link the pack, so I emailed Ben my plan and an invitation to breakfast, I also let Kathy know the rest of the household staff wouldn’t be needed until after lunch. Landers, Kasa and I had agreed to split the warriors from Harvest Moon, and send a quarter of our own warriors to each other’s packs, Kasa and Astrid offered to inform the former pack, and start the paperwork of incorporating the new borders to our lands. I emailed my Delta, my lead warrior, as I no longer had an Epsilon, or General, I would need his input in choosing which warriors went where. I also emailed my Omicron, or head builder, and informed him we needed temporary housing for the visiting warriors who were mated, we weren’t keeping men away from their families if we could help it. But like me, Landers and Kasa were hoping to send mostly our unmated warriors, so as not to uproot women and pups unnecessarily, and like us, their training grounds had barracks that would house the majority of the visiting warriors. However, the trainers, and elite warriors, or Zetas, who would be chosen to help create our army, would need to have their mates with them if they were to do their best work. Once I had done everything I could think of, I threw on some sneakers and went in search of something to block up the broken window, trash bags and a broom. The least I could do is clean up as much of the mess I made as possible, and I didn’t want Charlie to have to walk through that destruction again to bathe or retrieve her clothes.
It took several hours, but I managed to board up the window with some left over dry wall, and cleared away the broken glass and furniture. When I finally joined Charlie in bed, freshly showered, I felt a little less uneasy. She stirred at my movement, snuggling closer as she sighed, still half asleep.
“Where did you go?” She asked, surprising me, as she moved her head to my chest. I couldn’t stop the smile that spread across my face.
“I had some things to take care of. Go back to sleep.” I murmured into her hair, letting her sweet scent envelope and calm me.
“Only if you stay with me.” She mumbled, sleep pulling her back under.
“I’m not going anywhere, I promise.” I sighed, content and relaxed, finally closing my own eyes.
I woke up with a jerk, something was wrong, I reached for Charlie, unable to feel her body next to mine, but her side of the bed was empty. I sat up panicked, and scanned the room for her, but she wasn’t there. I was about to jump out of the bed and alert the patrol, when she pushed the door open with her bottom, a cup of steaming coffee in each hand.
“I made you a quadruple espresso, seeing as how you didn’t get much sleep, I thought you’d need it.” She explained with a shy smile, placing the cup on the bedside table.
“How did I get so lucky?” I asked out loud, returning her smile, her cheeks flushed pink, and I found myself speechless at her beauty again.
“I’m the lucky one.” She whispered, her cheeks getting a little darker, I couldn’t resist her any longer, I took the cup from her hands and placed it next to mine, and took her face in my hands, kissing her softly. “I want you.” My lips brushed against hers, I pulled her onto the bed with me, rolling us so I could capture her beneath me. Her scent was driving me wild, my cock hurt with how hard it was, I removed the last bits of fabric from between us and slid into her sweet, soft opening. A heady rush of lust and desire floored me, her wetness surrounded me, pushing me closer to my animalistic side. I couldn’t stop it, I needed to bite her, my fangs slid down as I latched on to her mark, my hips frantically pumping into her. She moaned and I came undone, breaking the skin, her blood tasted incredible, sweet and rich, it pushed me to my limit. Her pussy milked the last of my cum from me as I lapped up her sweet nectary blood, I felt drunk and horny and satisfied, all at once. I slumped off her onto the mattress, my limbs loose and soft under her spell. “Daniel?” She giggled, but I couldn’t make my tongue work, I was utterly blissed out.
Ben had been furious with his brother, the pack was still recovering from their uncle’s betrayal, everyone knew it was just part of something bigger coming. So, when Daniel had told him, he would be returning with Charlie, he was relieved. It didn’t last. No sooner had he sat down to relax with his mate, knowing his brother was back, and the pack would be placated, he found himself on a cliff in wolf form, looking down on the pack, with no memory of getting there. And there had been little done to appease his confusion, anger and distress since. But, looking at his brother, facedown, naked, on his old bed, with the biggest, goofiest grin on his face, Ben couldn’t stay mad.
“What happened, exactly?” He asked Charlie, who was clutching Daniel’s robe around herself, worried sick, but stinking of sex.
“I made us coffee and...” She started, her cheeks blushing.
“And he said thank you.” He wound his fingers around, indicating for her to skip over the sex bit.
“And then he was like... that!” She waved her hand at Daniel, and he couldn’t contain his giggle anymore.
“So, you think you what? Literally fucked his brains out?” He asked, bent over laughing.
“No, he wasn’t like this last night.” She snapped before realising what she said and blushing more, her entire face a deep pink. A loud guffaw from Daniel caused Ben to actually fall on the floor laughing. “I think it was my blood.” Charlie said solemnly, allowing Ben’s chuckles to pause and slow.
“Your blood?” Ben asked, as he stood, still smirking, despite his best efforts.
“Daniel, bite me.” She hesitantly offered.
“And then he was like this?” Ben asked, starting to formulate a theory.
“Yes, but he was different before that, he’s never used his fangs to break my skin, apart from when he marked me.” She whispered, humiliated to have to discuss her sex life.
“Hmm, that’s interesting.” Ben mumbled, as he mentally sorted through all the books on Greek mythology he had gathered since Daniel told him about their visit to Charlie’s mother. “Did you know, in the myths, the Greek God’s blood has special qualities?” He asked her. Charlie shook her head confused. “It was called Ichor, and retained the properties of their food and drink, or ambrosia and nectar.” Ben continued. “It was said to be toxic to humans, but in some of Lycan myths, to drink the blood of a God, was to reach the highest heights.” He said, his smirk returning.
“Okay, but what does that mean?” Charlie asked, too panicked to think clearly.
“He’s stoned. Off his tits, no idea how long it’ll last, hopefully it won’t be more than a day. Otherwise, we will have to consult the pack doctor, last thing the pack needs is a rumour our Alpha is a dope fiend.” Ben joked, nudging the still semi-conscious Daniel, and snapping a couple of photos on his phone, Daniel just grunted in response, forcing another chuckle from Ben. “Anything else I should know before I go prepare to rearrange the pack meeting for tomorrow? In the event sleeping beauty isn’t awake by this afternoon.” He asked as he headed for the door, he couldn’t resist one final jab at his brother.
“Umm, yeah, quite a bit actually.” Charlie replied, taking a deep breath in to steady herself. “Why don’t we go downstairs and have a cup of coffee?” She said, leaving the room. Daniel grunted loudly, he was trying to tell her not to say too much, but he was too relaxed and serene to put the effort into moving. He sank further into the mattress, the soft sheets, wrapping around him, and the scent of his mate embracing him. He allowed his mind to picture her pregnant with his pup, glowing and beautiful, stroking her swollen belly in the sun, in their meadow, and a radiant smile on her face. Next his mind pictured her in a sexy slinky silk gown, her crown resting on her adorable curls, as she embraced the pack. His crotch felt uncomfortable as he pictured taking her into the trees behind the meeting house after they had taken their oaths, and putting a pup in her belly. Sinking further and further, the Alpha allowed his mind to picture all manner of fantasies he had been keeping repressed.
