#Chapter 67: Nursing Old Wounds

AVA
After the battle we head to Elijah’s territory to heal and recuperate. As soon as we got to the manor I remember crashing into bed with Elijah. While he is no longer wounded I do feel bad that he was injured trying to help me.
I don’t really remember when we fell asleep.
I wake up and I am thrown into a panic. When she don’t hear the twins, I begin to freak out. But I am nestled back into bed by the man laying down next to me.
Elijah is rumbling in a half slumber for me to go back to sleep.
“The tw—
“Lucas and Olivia are with Julianna. We are having the twins evaluated to make sure that Alex or their father did not do anything to them.”
It brings some relief to my anxiety as I fall back into the Alpha’s arms.
That was when it hit me I did not see Sissy in the Jacob’s territory and Elijah did tell me she was a warrior too.
“Where Sissy,” I asked. Elijah shifted in the bed and his eyes stared into mine. The intensity of his gaze sent chills down my spine and heat throughout my core.
“I wanted to see Sissy so that I can apologize.”
“You were right. Before we were able to find you; we found out that Sissy had joined the syndicate after learning that we were together.”
“Oh..” There was nothing that I could say.
“While investigating if Jacob went through transportation portal Lewis found that Sissy never did either.”
I stayed silent as Elijah explained everything to me. He told me that even though our bond was severed I was still the Luna of the Golden Eye Pack.
“You have final say of what happens to the pack.” Elijah says as he brushes a strand of hair behind my ear.
I had thought about it after Melissa protected both my children and Jacob’s son. I had convinced Elijah to let Jacob and Alex son come to live with us since he was now an orphan. It was not his fault that both his parents started a war and lose the battle.
I could not bare to see him being alone with no one to care for him.
“Can you grant some of the pack members permits to live in the human realm if they wish? Also can you combine the others that want to stay in the werewolf realm into your pack. There are a lot of good wolves that are loyal to a fault.” I could see that Elijah was hesitant about the idea.
He leans in to kiss me and pulls me closer to him. As he releases his hold I am left panting and blushing. I can hear my wolf howling at our intimacy. It was the first time she has done this.
“Ava can I ask you a question,” Elijah says. All I could do was nod as I feel heat radiate though my soul.
“What is your wolf’s name?” I found that question to be strange but I answered anyway.
“Her name is Tide. Why do you ask?”
He starts to laugh and plants a kiss on my forehead.
“In my pack most mates that find one another they have similar if not equal wolf names. My wolf was given the name Neptune by the Moon Goddess.”
I looked at him in confusion trying to piece together what he was saying.
“When you were gone my wolf howled for you and the children constantly. Your witchling friend Shanti asked me what you wre to me and I answered her without a second thought that we were mates.”
With that confession I could not help but feel my heart ache. I shook my head in disbelief.
“Elijah we cannot be mates,” I said trying to understand what he was saying.
As I began to panic he let out a growl that sent chills down my spine. It soothed me to my core but it also left me reeling at his touch as he passed his hands along my skin.
When his hands reached my face he pulled me in for another kiss; I did not dare pull away from his touch. As his teeth grazed my bottom lip demanding entrance I opened my mouth to let out a moan, giving him the opening he was raving for.
Elijah slide me underneath his frame and began to slice my clothes with his taloned finger. HE chuckled as I gasp at the breeze that began to hit my flesh. He licked my the junction between my neck and collar bone leaving me groaning in pleasure and angst.
The sounds of ripping and tearing filled the room as I looked down to see that the oversized T-shirt that I had taken from his closet was not slit down the middle. He pushed my arms from the cloth and began to leave trails of licks and kisses down my frame.
When he stopped at my breast he took one in his mouth and the other in his hand toying with me as he gently raked his nails across my stomach.
“Elijah please,” I whispered as he let out a pop sound as he released my hard nipple from his mouth.
He laughed as his hands moved lower to my hip and in a flash my panties had been ripped at the sides. I watched him as he tossed his shirt and boxers off to the other side of the room.
I stayed silent as Elijah continued to play with my body leaving nips here, bites marks there. He did not stop kissing me until his fingers reached their destination. He plunged his index and middle finger into my core, growling into my ear.
“You are always ready for me, kitten,” he growled as he nibbled on my ear.
With every push and pull I felt my nerves bunch and release at his touch. My mind and body could not take the stimulation and I could feel my body about to give out on my and unravel at his fingertips.
“That’s it,” I heard him whisper before letting out an ear shattering scream. I felt a wave crash into me again and again as my body was lifted up and brought back down.
As Elijah positioned himself, he paused for a moment and looked at me.
“I need to know Ava.” He said staring down at the me. I could tell by everything that we had gone through that he was speaking the truth to me. Elijah was my second chance mate.
The Moon Goddess had seen the pain that we both had gone thougth and given us a divine chance to start over.
He wanted me for so long but I knew that Elijah would not go any further without assurance that I felt the same.
“Please.” I whispered. I leaned forward and kissed him returning his feelings and then some.
He traveled back up to my face and began to nip at my neck. He had already removed his boxers and brushed his cock against my wetness. I moaned at the grinding friction. Desperate for what was coming next.
AS he slide into my core I let out a scream before biting down into his neck. I could taste blood on the tip of my tongue as he pushed deepen into me. Elijah’s speed and rhythm sped harder and faster as he pushed his cock deeper into me.
I felt him brush his nose against meck neck before biting down on it just as I had done to him. It was completely the mating ritual.
Even though the ritual was almost complete Elijah made no slack in his sped or rhythm as he pounded into me. I wrapped my legs around his back to brace myself and dug my claws into his back. He made not indication of pain.
When I could feel the pressure building into him as the second wave started to build inside of me. As I let out another scream I could feel Elijah release into me and let out a roar that felt as if the foundation was shaking.
I was left panting and chuckling as we finished the ritual sealing the bites on our throats. I laughed at the irony. Here I was mated to a man an Alpha that I had once feared. All in hopes that I could win back a man that wanted me dead; that did not deserve me.
I felt my eye lids grow heavy as Elijah pulled me back into his arms. I could hear him whisper to me.
“Sleep mate.”
As I drifted off to sleep there was a smile that crept upon my face. I was finally wanted.
