Book 2 Chapter 7
Heidi
He suddenly was next to me, and my cheeks heated up. He wrapped an arm around me, and he put another burger on my plate. “Lil matey what are you thinking about?” He said with a toothy grin. His eyes were twinkling with mischief, and he kissed me on the lips. It sent intense tingles all over my body, and he put me in his lap, making my legs dangle behind him. He growled softly, and licked my bottom lip. I had no idea what he wanted from that, so I licked his too.
He burst into laughter, and hugged me to his chest. “Oh, my dear Lady, you really don’t know how to kiss at all do you?” He giggled, and I blushed hard. I know I had to be as red as a chili pepper… and he chuckled. He thought it was funny how embarrassed he made me
“My first kiss was last night John.” I said looking down, but he tilted my chin up. his eyes practically reflected the light back in the speckled shade.
“And that’s a bad thing?” He said amused. He kissed me again, and he interlaced his fingers with mine. The tingles I felt had my mind clouded, and he licked my bottom lip again. He used his free hand to hold my back and he gently ran it down to my butt and squeezed it. I gasped a little and he put his tongue in my mouth. It darted around, and I tried copying him. I couldn’t keep up, but the tingles erupted. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and he kissed me more passionately. He growled a deep rumble in his chest, and it made my wolf purr.
Something within me stirred…. And I felt like I needed more than just a kiss. His hands were encasing me in a sea of tingles, and I was aware of every touch. I felt like I was on fire, but in a good way. He hands massaged my lower back, trailing down and adjusting me so my body was pressed more into him.
I began to feel something under me while I sat on top of John. I opened my eyes wide when I realized what it was, and he chuckled, breaking from our heated moment. “John!” I whisper yelled, as if someone would see. He kissed me on the top of the head.
“Sorry.” He said with a sheepish grin. “Terracotta wants the same thing as Sparkle.” He said resting his chin on the top of my head. “I don’t intend on letting you go little rabbit.” He smiled.
“I don’t mind.” I told him, smelling his strong scent. John smelled a little stronger than yesterday… I wonder why. It drove my wolf wild.
There was a loud throat clear. And we both shot up to see it was my Aunt Shelly as her wolf. I could see her smiling practically.
I was on my way to train with Derrick… but it seems you two are too busy to invite. She linked with her red eyes saying ‘I caught you’ in wolf. I had only seen this once before. When I was caught playing with sticks outside the castle as my wolf. Sparkle was restless…. But now I was caught kissing boys.
“Um.” Said John unable to really think of anything to say.
“Uh” I said hiding my face in his chest.
She chuffed, which sounded like laughing. Compose yourselves and meet me in an hour. She said running off, and I thanked the Lady that it wasn’t dad that caught us. We were marked but I wasn’t ready for mating…. Or anyone seeing us make out.
He held onto me a little longer, and kissed me on the forehead before slowly letting me off him. I wasn’t even hungry anymore… He looked at me with a raised eyebrow. Since I was marked, he could probably hear all my thoughts.
“Most.” He said standing up, then offering a hand to me. he got up all the trash, but left the food at the base of the tree for the wild animals. There were tons of raccoons, foxes, even bears in the woods, and we would leave the scraps for them. We were werewolves, they wouldn’t bother us.
The walk was beautiful, as it was a cool breeze in the air, and the massive trees swayed in the wind. This was an old part of the territory, and even though it was only a little ways off the road, everyone tried to keep the forest pure. Warriors would track down and fine litterers. That was enough to make me not want to get into trouble. He chuckled and jingled his keys.
He held my hand until he got to the car, and let me in first before he got in himself.
“I need to tell you something before we get to the packhouse….” He said staring at the road.
“What is it?” I asked, looking at how serious he was.
“Assistant Gamma Xavier and Hanna aren’t my parents… Alpha Ronitus and Luna Aemi are my real mother and father.” He said quietly and I held his hand a little tighter.
“But that’s not a bad thing. Alpha Ron is really nice.” I told him honestly. Now that I thought about it… he had the eye color of his mother’s wolf, and his wolf’s eyes were his father’s. He looked like a photocopy of him. I should have noticed it sooner.
“Yeah, from what I have noticed he’s genuine, but that means that I’m the heir to the Second Seat.” He said pulling into the garage. I get where he was coming from. It meant he would have to move. I was ok with that. I lived in the castle while learning my powers.
“But is that a bad thing?” I asked him, and he squeezed my hand a little. before letting go, and opening the door for me. He looked like he was thinking hard on the question. He opened the door for me, and he got dirty looks, but he got bows all the same. The warriors were offended by John. He had lived his life here, and they felt like he had tricked them. In reality, it was something that couldn’t have been helped.
I noticed too that Jesse looked a little humbler than her usual mean self, and there was a silence that I didn’t understand. Usually, a packhouse is loud and full of happy faces, but not now. Wolves were somber and quiet. It was as if someone has taken the life out the room. Then I saw why. That man that I saw at John’s ceremony… he sat at the head of the table, and his mate was cooking on the stove. It was Alpha Ron and I mentally facepalmed that I didn’t remember them.
“Hello Heidi!” Said Luna Aemi. I remember her being with grandma all the time. She was probably one of the nicest Lunas there besides gram-gram. She stopped cooking and came to hug me, nearly crushing me to death with her iron grip. “How ironic is it that me and her highness joked of being in-laws, and here we are.” She said with a big smile. I didn’t say anything, because I didn’t know what to say. Alpha Ron chuckled.
“Come sit. I know through Gamma Branson that you two already ate, but maybe you might want to sit while we discuss the conditions of your departure son.” He said with a small smile. I remembered now. I didn’t really linger around the ancients. They freaked me out with how strong they were.
“I was hoping to serve His Highness for a little longer sir.” He told him, which surprised the other warriors.
“I cannot allow this, because I wish you to live your birthright John, not kneel under me in service.” Said dad, casually drinking a soda down the stairs. “Also… it seems my wolves hold a grudge against you for something you didn’t know.” He shot the warriors in the living room a glare and they submitted.
His glare then fell on me and my heart sank. He had his lips pressed thin, and his nostrils flared twice. He let out an agitated sigh, and sat at the other head of the table while Luna Aemi served us all dinner. It was roast chicken, peas, mashed potatoes and iced tea. Dad took the first slice and everyone else ate after him. I wondered where mom was, but I felt too awkward to ask…. Dad could smell what John had done to me… everyone could.
I hate being a werewolf! I screamed in my head and everyone at the table heard me! No! Sparkle licked her tongue out at me, offering no help, and I wanted to hide under the table. Lady take me!
“Calm down peppercorn it’s natural. From what I heard; I might need to give you your mating ceremony gift early.” Dad chuckled, and pulled out a small box. I blushed like crazy! John spit out his soda.
“Um! Alpha I- we didn’t!” He couldn’t finish, because my dad’s laughter filled the packhouse along with Alpha Ron, and Luna. Mom came in the door along with Aunt Shelly with a big cake, and I was beginning to feel beyond embarrassed.
“Surprise!” They both yelled, and my little brother, sister, and cousins all trailed behind them and Uncle Connor and Aunt Nancy…. The cake said ‘Happy Mating Ceremony.” In red and purple frosting. There were candles already lit, and my uncle had a huge box in his hand.
“It seems like yesterday your uncle found you. you were so small and weak my wolf adopted you nearly the moment I saw you. Now look, your already all grown up with a mate, and you’re going to leave soon with the pup I trained how to fight. John you’re not just ‘a good kid’, you’re genuinely pure hearted. I know I can leave her in your care…. just Promise you’ll visit, and you won’t make me a grandpa for at least 50 years.” Dad said with a chuckle and I had to be as red as my hair.
We had been ambushed!!!
“I promise we’ll try.” Said John, and I sank in my chair, getting laughs from my family.
