23.
**Emma**
As we walked back to the house in a comfortable silence a questioning line of 'what if's' flooded my mind.
What if I was a regular wolf, would I still be friends with Mason and Aiden?
What if everything went according to plan, would I meet my mate?
What if I was truly wolfless' would life be easier than what it is right now?
I let out a frustrated huff as we came to the sun deck. Michael sat next to me whimpering, he used his snout and snuggled into my neck. He was trying to ease my frustration, goddess bless this wolf, he's so loving towards me.
'Come let's go get you a warm bath. You've been through a lot,' he said in a low husky voice that makes me weak.
He was right I needed to relax, get my bearings straight.
I shifted and stood in my nakedness with pride before him, a lustful growl escaped his mouth. He quickly shifted and held me close, " Emma" he growled in my ear. Our skin touching against each other was simply sublime. His hot breath played against my skin like wildfire. I ran my hands up his chest, over his shoulders, and down his back, with every movement of my hands over his body as he hissed in painful pleasure. His hand cupped my bare bottom squeezing it with both hands.
"Let's go take that bath," he said huskily, picking me up quickly bridal style.
I squealed out in surprise then laughed out loudly, only he can make me so carefree.
"Hold on tight, my sweet," he said grinning down at me.
Using his inhuman speed, he got us up to his room instead of mine without being seen. I was placed gently on his bed as he made his way to the bathroom. With every step, the muscles in his arms and legs flexed in the most hypnotizing way. And that butt, damn it all, that ass was so firm I'm sure I can crack nuts on it.
'Oooo our sexy mate' Alia groaned.
It didn't take him long to get the bath done before he came back into the room to get me. I knew I was lost on his body by the cocky smirk on his face. Oh come on, a girl can get distracted by the perfect sculpted body of Adonis that happens to be her mate. As he came closer, the view of his toned abs, I bit my lips as I was tempted to kiss every inch of his muscled body. I looked further down and a blush covered my face. Wow. Let's just say... Wow.
A lustful growl sounded throughout the room, "Don't do that my love. I'm trying so hard not to make love to you right now because tonight I want to do this for you," He said stretching forth his hand. His eyes were filled with lust yet great affection. I took his hand as he led me to the bathroom. He helped me into the tub, the water was just right and the lavender scent was calming. I sat forward as he joined me in the tub. Holding me against his chest, he gently began to wash me.
"So my mate is a princess who can manipulate the weather, has the gift of telekinesis, her blood helps heal wolves faster due to being a white wolf. Anything else?" He asked in a teasing tone.
"I can also read people's thoughts," I said blowing some bubbles off my hand.
"That's cool and yet useful. You can tell if someone's lying or not" he said letting down my hair.
"You're right. Does any of this freaks you out?"
He stayed quiet for a while.
"Initially it did when you used it on me but when I saw you turn into a white wolf it didn't. Also, I told myself since I am willing to have you as my mate I have to accept whatever you came with"
I carefully thought over his words and saw the truth and understanding in his words.
"Michael, what happened really with the human?"
I felt his body stiffen, his hands gripped tighter on hips. He was lost in his memories, I gently intertwined my fingers with his, the stiffness in his body disappeared. He placed his chin on my shoulder and inhaled my scent.
"My one true mate" he murmured.
Letting go of a deep breath he relayed to me what happened that night a year ago.
"Jaxon and I went to this club to let loose and do a little mate hunting. We were so pumped to check out this new club about two or three towns away from home. Jax and I were having fun dancing and drinking when this raven-haired girl came up to me and held my hand. For a moment I couldn't move, she held me by my neck and kissed me. She pulled back and called me by my name, I couldn't recall if I told her or not but I felt attached to her. Zane was in and out but I couldn't get a read on him. She gave me a drink which tasted a bit too tangy but I didn't ask what it was. This girl wanted me and I wanted her too. After that, all I could remember was waking up next to her the following morning. I asked her what happened, she said we were mates and we mated the night before. I called out to Zane but he didn't answer. Initially, I became worried, she made breakfast for me and that was it.
It felt like I was in a dream all month long and woke up to an alternate reality. I found myself drenched in my best friend's blood as he lay motionless at my feet. Dad was shouting at me, wolves were being killed all around me and I didn't know what to do. What to say. So I just walked away aimlessly.
I don't know what happened. How can I be distant for a whole month and did things that I wouldn't do? I killed my best friend. They made me kill my best friend. "
The anger and pain were felt heavily through our bond. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to do. He was lost in his bad memories as I felt drops of tears on my shoulder.
"Michael" I whispered trying to turn and face him. When I did, his eyes were glazed over with tears.
"I was so weak to let a human use me and hurt my wolf. A fucking human was able to control me so that I kill my best friend. The son of an alpha," He spat. His eyes turned black with rage, his wolf was close to the surface I threw myself at him hoping to calm him and his wolf.
"You are not weak, you didn't let that break you. You're here now aren't you? With your family. With me." I whispered in his ear. He whimpered and kissed my neck. The water began to get cold but it didn't phase us as we just held each other lost in our own thoughts. He moved forward and drained the tub then carried us over to the shower. He never let me go as he did all this.
"Love, I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere," I said softly as he placed our joined bodies under the shower. Michael was there for me with news of my mother and proved to me that he will be my strength, it's only wise to be the same for him.
He didn't reply by words but by a hot searing kiss, and there I got his answer. It was filled with passion, desperation, and love?
'I'm afraid I will wake up in the morning and realize that all of this isn't real. You forgiving me. Having you in my arms. I'm scared, baby. I'm afraid of losing you. Since I was 16 I dreamed of you and now here you are. My true mate.' He said with a shaky voice over our link.
It was my turn not to answer as I pulled him in closer to me. The water was doing nothing to cool down the heat our bodies made. Michael's hands roamed all over my body, squeezing, caressing every curve his hand touched.
My hand was positioned in his hair, the wet curls stuck around my fingers while I absentmindedly massaged his scalp. He passed his tongue across my mark, the sensation it made had me gripping his shoulders, my fingernails tattooed into his skin and gently sucked onto it. I hoisted myself up on his waist and roughly began to kiss him, he slammed me against the wall taking over my kisses. His lips left mine and made their way to my breasts, I let out a loud moan causing him to push me harder into the wall with his lustful and dominant growls.
His hard erection was the only thing between us.
I held it with one hand as my other fisted in his hair, keeping him in the place where he was giving me pleasure. Hearing his claws against the tiles let me know his wolf was in control now, 'MINE!' he said. By then my own wolf wanted to be let loose, I wanted to revel in his wolf form as I pulled back to look into his eyes.
My legs were tangled behind his back, my hand still on his erection, both of his hands placed possessively on either side of my head.
His eyes were dark with emotion as he focused on my now dark eyes too.
'Alia not now please,' I begged her, moving my hand from between us and cupped his face.
I stroked his cheek and outlined his jaw, his now red plump lips swollen from our kisses was shining with droplets of water. When I looked at him, the feeling that was in my heart and soul was greater than what I felt for Aiden.
This was worth all the tears and pain just to have him back in my arms. This man was my mate, for life, his flaws are my flaws, his strength was my strength. I don't care what people thought of his past. He was a victim, a pawn in someone's game. He's a strong wolf both emotional and physical and I'm so proud to call him mine. It may be the mate bond that made this feeling possible but I think the marking and mate bond was a push to make me see the kind of person Michael really is.
"I love you, Michael," I said deeply looking into his eyes.
Slowly his dark eyes turned back to his natural icy blue ones. I didn't need a reply just telling him how I felt seems right.
His heart raced faster as he lowered us to the bathroom floor and held me tightly.
"I love you too Emma " he softly said in my ear.
