Chapter 151
Whilst I was at university, I wore a promise ring Gabriel had given me before I left. I knew immediately that it was for his peace of mind to ward off the college boys. After I graduated with my degree, we got married with a beautiful wedding in the woods surrounded by nature. But regardless of having his ring on my finger, Gabriel is still the same man who can easily become jealous over me receiving attention from the opposite sex.
Now that I'm working, I have moved back home where I belong with Gabriel. I found the perfect balance of maintaining my duties as a Luna to the Renascence pack and working at a Law firm in the city. I'm content and I don't think life can get any better than being married to the man I love.
A loud huff from Boris has me snapping out of my thoughts. I glance at him to see him scowling before he pulls me onto his lap in one swift motion. His arms wind around me in a tight embrace, the tip of his nose tracing the curve of my neck as he tries to smother me in his scent.
"Babe," I laugh, turning to face him slightly. "You're overreacting, I'll take a shower tonight okay?"
"No, mate will get rid of the scent right now." He orders before standing with me in his arms.
Before I can ask what he is doing, everything becomes a blur and suddenly, we are at a lake in the woods. Boris ignores my questioning as he walks towards the lake, setting me down by the edge. I turn to look up at him in curiosity, surprised when he nods at the water.
"No way, it's so cold!" I squeal when the icy cold water meets my fingers.
As I start to back away, Boris throws me over his shoulder and starts carrying me over to the water. I protest loudly, struggling to escape and shouting out threats but to no avail. A loud shriek echoes in the quiet clearing as I'm dropped in the freezing water. When I resurface, I find him standing back at the edge of the lake with a devilish smirk on his lips. Glaring at him, I cross my arms over my chest and look away, pretending to be angry.
As I am trying to find balance on the soft earth, I see big ripples in the water and I sense him before he wades closer. A shiver runs down my spine as I feel his cold body press against mine. He hugs me from behind, whispering out his apology. I bite my lip, Boris is just so cute that I can't stay mad at him for too long. I sigh and turn to face him, noticing his red eyes shining with guilt.
"Angel...I'm sorry. It's just that you smell like other men and I couldn't take it. Can mate forgive me?" He murmurs softly, tucking my wet strands behind my ears.
"Fine, but that wasn't cool Baby." I mumble, hugging myself to create some warmth.
Before he can say anything, his eyes start to switch chaotically between red and black. Suddenly, black fur sprouts over his body and with a deep growl, Mura makes an appearance. He picks me up, cuddling me closer to his body as he makes his way back to the house. I stifle the giggles threatening to escape as he curses Boris to the deepest, darkest pits of hell.
"This is not funny!" He growls in warning, an incredulous look in his eyes as I laugh. "Any second longer in that cold water and mate would have gotten sick!"
I bite my lip as he carries me into the house. Mura uses his supernatural speed to rush back to the room, ordering me to change into warm clothes before he leaves. I sigh and shake my head in humor, picking a cozy sweater and sweatpants before changing out of my wet clothes. When I make my way down to the sitting room, I see that Mura has the fire on and is waiting for me with a towel.
Smiling softly, I walk over and sit down on the fluffy carpet, grabbing it and drying my hair by the fire. I close my eyes in content as he hugs me afterwards, the extra heat from his body warming me up in an instant. After a few minutes of silence, Mura releases an angry growl before he huffs and nestles his nose in the crook of my neck. He inhales deeply, seeming to be calming himself down.
"What's wrong?" I ask softly, running my fingers through his fur.
"Boris wants to know if mate is okay." He huffs, still peeved at the other beast's actions.
I chuckle and nod, leaning into his embrace. "Tell him that I'm fine."
"No." He shakes his head stubbornly, making my eyes widen. "Mate could have gotten ill, he does not deserve to speak with you."
"Mura," I start in a soft one, pulling him down so that our eyes meet. "Wouldn't you want to know that I'm alright if the roles were reversed?"
"I am not an idiot like him. You would never get hurt or sick if I was with you." He rolls his eyes, nuzzling my neck.
"Mura...for me?"
He stills and I know I have him. With a frustrated huff, he nods. "I told him...but he can be with you tomorrow. Right now, you are mine."
I laugh and agree, squirming away when his fur tickles my skin. His eyes glint with mischief and I scoot back, only in vain when he pounces. His paws pin my wrists to the carpet and he nuzzles his head against my cheek and neck making me shriek with laughter. I beg him for mercy and finally, he relents and pulls away. I breathe a sigh of relief, a few chuckles escaping me here and there. Tilting my head when I catch him staring at me in adoration, I wiggle my brows as if to say 'what?' He shakes his head and instead, lies down on the carpet.
"Mate looks beautiful when she is happy." He admits softly, his eyes closed.
