Chapter 94
Daniel POV
I knew it was wrong, goddess knows how I thought we would explain our absence when it was noticed, but something about her scent was intoxicating, addictive, inevitable. I couldn’t satiate my need for her, my hunger for her, and every moan, every time her head snapped back as a jolt of pleasure rippled through her, the urge to bite her grew stronger. But no matter how I fought it, rather than wearing me out, it would invigorate me again, reigniting our passion and a new round of fucking would begin. I had bitten her arms, her breast, her shoulder, anything that wasn’t the one spot I couldn’t stop thinking about. Her skin was glistening in the firelight, her nipples stiff and excited, and I found myself needing to be with her, again. We needed to get back, as soon as the thought occurred to me, I would see her lips and I need to taste them for myself. I was licking my way up her spine when the door flew open, I threw myself over Charlie to protect her, snarling, my claws extended, no one was taking my goddess from me. Hyacinth walked in, her eyes terrified, and wild, I recognised her, but I couldn’t stop my protective instincts from taking over. My body was blocking Charlie from Hyacinth, and from her seeing my fangs extended, my wolf was on the verge of taking control, anything to keep Charlie safe and mark her.
“Daniel, I’m not here to hurt anyone. It’s the bond, you accepted Charlie as your mate the moment you met her, but the moment she accepted you too, the urge to mark each other has been ruling you, both of you. Please listen to me. I received a message, a vision, I did some research as soon as I woke up and I think I understand. Charlie has reached maturity, her brain has finished developing, that’s the reason the binding spell is breaking down. It was meant to protect her from her powers until she was old enough to control them. I think that’s why the bond has hit you both so hard. She must have broken down another part of the binding spell, so another aspect of her powers may begin to reveal itself. But it’s important that right now, you come with me, and stay away from Charlie. Please listen to me, Daniel?” Hyacinth begged she must have been desperate, but anyone who wanted to take me from Charlie would have to kill me first. I gave her one warning growl, I was prepared to pounce when Charlie ran her hands up my back as she stood. She kissed my shoulders making me want to purr, a throaty groan of appreciation erupted from me instead. I growled again, aggressively, as Hyacinth took another step into the room. Charlie’s hands slipped around my waist, so close to my growing erection, her fingertips trailed along my skin, calming me. My head lolled back as she ran her nose along my shoulder blades, her cool breath left goosebumps on my skin and made me whine softly, I needed to taste her. I turned my back on Hyacinth, a stupid mistake I would have never made before, but her tongue was so sweet. I captured her mouth with mine, and pulled her face closer, I needed her plump luscious lips, like air. She pulled back, for just a moment, stroked my face, and looked into my eyes, when Hyacinth hit me with a spell.
“I’m so sorry, please forgive me?” Charlie whispered to me, she kissed me again and ducked down below my line of sight. “Give us a moment to put some clothes on?” She asked Hyacinth.
“I’m sorry, I have to remain in the room, or the spell will be broken,” Hyacinth replied, she sounded sad and apologetic.
“Could you turn around at least?” Charlie asked, her cheeks flushed pink, goddess I wanted to kiss her at that moment.
“Yes, I can turn around... Are you sure you’re in control?” Hyacinth asked, she sounded, unsure, wary of turning away.
“It’s harder to fight when we touch, once it started, we barely left the other’s embrace, it was like a spell. The moment his lips touched me I couldn’t think of anything else. What was that?” Charlie asked, Hyacinth must have turned around, satisfied with what she had said, as she began to dress.
“There is a story, of a Lycan mating with a granddaughter of the sun goddess, the sister of the moon goddess, supposedly. Anyway, they fell in love, but his pack was wary of letting someone into their lands who drew power from the sun, while they worshipped the moon. They were worried about offending their moon goddess, but this is when even with your mate, to leave your pack, meant madness and death. The couple decided not to mate until the pack had reached a decision, the girl would only come into the pack during the day, so she could meet with her beloved and the pack, in the hopes they would come to accept her. During this time, the couple’s affections grew, they were still attracted to each other, but their bond deepened. Once they admitted their intention to mate as soon as they could, that attraction began to eat at them. They needed to be together, their hunger grew until they couldn’t resist any longer. The young wolf led his love onto the pack lands, in the middle of the night, their desire overriding every other thought, or concern. They mated, and marked each other, in the moonlight, the pack found them the next morning, still in the forest, naked, and knew what had happened. The elders took the couple's disregard for their beliefs and concerns, and the affront of doing it all in full view of the moon, and banished them from the pack lands. The couple wandered but word of their betrayal had spread, fearing the wrath of their goddess, no pack would take them in. The girl, died giving birth to their child, who did not survive, her mate soon followed, his despair too much for him to bear.” Hyacinth told her sad story, as Charlie did her best to cover my frozen naked form.
“How much is he aware of?” Charlie asked, as she brushed my hair away from my face and she struggled to wrap my shirt around my waist, unable to put it on me, or anything else. When she eventually gave up, she walked around me and tried to use her tiny body to block anyone’s view of mine, my hands ached with the need to touch her.
“Everything, I’m afraid the only thing I’m able to do is disrupt his motor neurons, so he is frozen, but completely aware. I would never normally do this for so long, a few seconds at most, but I didn’t know how else to stop him from attacking. Once I release him, it’s only a matter of time before he snaps, and marks you, it's biological, a primal urge.” Hyacinth replied, and I heard her breath hitch, my wolf saw red, I wanted to tear Hyacinth apart, for making her upset, a roar of outrage, caught in my throat.
“Then what do we do? We can’t leave him like this?” Charlie sobbed, I could hear the devastation in her voice, it made my wolf incensed, Hyacinth would pay for hurting her, we vowed.
“I will put a protective spell around you, he will not be able to get within arm's reach of you. We will have your things brought here until the other Alphas have arrived, and then you will move to Dermot’s we will keep you out of the way, and away from Daniel. This will be particularly difficult for Daniel, I’m hoping not having your scent will help him focus, so we can discuss a plan to disrupt the pack takeovers and how to stop them.” Hyacinth answered, I sensed her moving closer towards us. Charlie, reached back, her hand on my arm, every fibre of my being longed to reach out for her. “I have to put the spell on you before I can release him,” Hyacinth whispered, I heard Charlie sniffle, she moved around me until she was looking into my eyes again.
“I’m so sorry, I love you.” She whispered, she pressed her lips against mine and moved out of my sight again.
“Are you ready?” Hyacinth asked Charlie must have nodded because she didn’t answer, but a strange pale pink light grew brighter somewhere in the room before it dimmed and disappeared. “Once I step out of the room, he will be able to move, but he will not be able to touch you. We will be waiting for you both in the parlour.” Hyacinth said quietly, I heard the door open, then close with a click. The sudden return of my ability to move made me stumble forward, I whipped around to face Charlie, she had tears running down her face.
“I’m so sorry.” She whispered, she looked heartbroken, I desperately wanted her in my arms, to comfort and love her, but I couldn’t get close to her. An invisible barrier kept me from even scraping her skin with my fingertips, I whined in despair, everything in me fought to get to her. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know what else to do, the moment we were pushed apart by Hyacinth, I realised how wrapped up in each other we were. I knew it wasn’t normal, and I didn’t think I would be strong enough to resist you for long. Even now, all I want is to kiss you and touch you. But we need to focus, we need to come up with a plan. And we can’t do that if we can’t leave the bedroom, not to mention the risk we would be taking. I doubt we could resist marking each other and being responsible for the future I saw... I can’t do that Daniel; I can’t be the one who destroys the world.” She whispered, almost close enough to touch. When I closed my eyes and focused, I could almost feel her breath on my skin.
“I hate this, it’s torture, this is worse than when I was dreaming about you. I couldn’t work, I was so distracted. It doesn’t matter what Hyacinth does, I’m never going to be able to think of anything but you. This second, I can’t take my eyes off your beautiful plump lips and think about anything but feeling them on my skin as I make your legs tremble.” I growled, making her cheeks pink in that sexy way that makes me crazy.
“I know, I want to touch you too, but the sooner you can get the other Alphas to return home, the sooner we can leave for my mother’s house.” She whispered, my cock twitched, and my fingers trembled, I needed to touch her, it was like an itch that can’t be scratched, but so much worse. “I’m going to leave you get dressed now.” She turned towards the door, and I panicked.
“No, don’t go, please?” I begged, I couldn’t stand the idea of not being able to see or touch her, but with no ability to stop her I just stood, defeated.
