Chapter 48
Luara's POV
My wolf was purring in delight, loving the lustful growls rumbling from the back of our mate's throat. My temperature began rising as heat rushed through my body, impatiently craving his touch.
His tight grip on my hips loosened but he continued to caress my sides with small sensual circles. A soft moan escaped my mouth as Bryan sucked on the delicate flesh of my neck, nibbling and gently biting on my mark.
Warm sensations were burning in my stomach which was flaring in pleasure as it soared through my body.
My feelings were constricted by both my body and wolf, they were both eager to allow our mate to take us; fully mating us to him. Wriggling under him as the heat began to become excruciating I clawed at his back and I felt his excitement against my thigh. My wolf was growling in appreciation wanting more friction between the two of us.
I was battling with myself for control and my wolf was putting on a fight, she wanted nothing more than to be with her mate fully. And Bryan was not helping as he continued to massage my sides and leave teasing kisses on my neck.
"Bryan, you need to stop." I grit out as I managed to gain control but not without my wolf furiously growling at me.
Whether or not Bryan heard me he continued to tower over me causing my body to pulse.
I pushed at his chest, receiving a growl in return sending shivers of pleasure down my spine as his head was still in the crook of my neck right next to my mark.
I carried on pushing at his chest trying to make a gap between our bodies as his body heat against mine was almost unbearable in the most satisfying way.
Bryan moved his body slightly but still towered over me as his emerald-black eyes looked at me. I could feel his heart beating erratically under my palm and hear as his breathing become heavy. It was a bad mistake because his nostrils flared and in an instant, his grip tightened from the smell of my arousal.
"Bryan, please." I said trying to convince him to let go.
"I'm not ready for this, not yet." I began. My mind and body were conflicting with each other. I knew if I didn't get away from Bryan now there was no way I would leave this room without being fully mated to him.
Bryan still didn't say anything but I could see the internal battle he was having with his wolf. His eyes were flickering from his normal forest green eyes to the dark dangerous black of his wolf. Seeing that his wolf was clearly winning I began squirming underneath him in an attempt to loosen his grip only for it to tighten.
"Stop." Bryan growled weakly making me instantly stop.
"Stop doing that, you're making it harder to gain control with you practically grinding against me." He said this with his eyes closed making me blush a bright red.
I stayed still hoping that he would move from me soon as the flare in my stomach began arising again including my embarrassment.
About a minute later he slowly removed himself from me and stood to the side of the bed his eyes remaining closed. I struggled to get up as the burning sensations grew stronger and turned painful. I began inhaling and exhaling deeply trying to control the pain.
I whined as I struggled to maneuver myself off of the bed. Only to whimper when I felt Bryan's hands in mine helping to pull me up. His touch intensified the need in my body to connect mine to his and he could feel it too.
"Bryan." I murmured as he didn't remove his hand from mine.
"You need to leave, go downstairs. I won’t be able to control my wolf any longer if you don't." His tone was calm, but it was clear he was anything but.
Once our hands were untangled, I carefully moved around him and was about to rush out the door to create space between us.
"Move slowly Luara and don't run, it's my natural instinct to chase you." Bryan said with difficulty, his voice sounding strained.
The battle between Bryan and his wolf showed through his eyes as they fought for control, the force was powerful and it was clear Bryan was holding onto it by a thin thread.
I nodded and slowly walked out carefully. I was blocking my wolf as she was persistent on going back to her mate and I knew I needed to get down the stairs to create space between us.
I hurried down the stairs and opened the front door as an irritated growl and a loud slam of a door echoed through the house before the sound of rushing water, letting me know that Bryan had jumped into the shower to cool down.
I thought taking a run would help ease the ache from my heat so I strip off all my clothes and shift into my wolf. With Bryan's house hidden in the middle of the woods, I knew the chance of someone seeing me naked was limited. Not that it bothered me anyway; nudity is part of being a werewolf.
I raced across the clearing and into the deep forest hoping to distract my wolf from her idea of mating.
I was worried since being in heat created a higher chance of a she-wolf becoming pregnant especially in her first heat as it clouds our judgment and we're thinking about nothing else other than our mate's touch.
It wasn't that I didn't want to fall pregnant, it was the timing of it and Bryan needed to gain more control of his wolf before we ever considered having children. He would never intentionally harm his own children but his control over his wolf made me worry. Plus, we've only known each other for a week, not even that.
It's not uncommon for newly mated couples to conceive within the first few weeks of mating.
My wolf was yipping in excitement at the thought of becoming pregnant by her mate. I was beginning to worry, I knew if I didn't respond to the mating bond with Bryan soon, my wolf would take over as heat would become unbearable to her.
A few years ago, my mom had forced me to attend a class about mates where we were given information about our first shift, mates, heat, etc. They informed us that being marked by a wolf and not allowing the mating bond to be completed would cause a female wolf to feel as if their organs were slowly turning inside out which had me wincing at the thought.
I continued to run, not allowing my wolf to stop even when she was beginning to become weak and exhausted, but then I felt the presence of another wolf. I abruptly stopped and crouched down angling my head to the side and slowly analyzing the woods around me.
"Luna?" The voice startled me for a second, but I recognized it as Benson. A sandy-colored wolf walked out between the trees and approached me. It was only Benson, so I stood up but Benson towered over me with his wolf form.
“What are you doing out here on your own? Does the Alpha know you're here?” he asked through the pack mind link.
Before I could answer a wave of heat rushed through my body causing me to whine and lay on my stomach, my head sitting on my paws.
Benson was instantly by my side questioning me with incoherent words as he rushed out continuous mumbles.
“Are you alright Luna?” His words carried concern as he gently nudged my side with his snout only for him to quickly step away from me.
“Are you in heat?” he asked with wide eyes.
I closed my eyes tightly for a few seconds, waiting for the pain to dull for a while before nodding. 'You shouldn't be out here, especially when you're in heat. The Alpha will be furious if a male wolf attempts to touch you.'
His voice was slightly scolding and I understood why. It was a dangerous situation for a she-wolf to leave her mate's side during heat as un-mated male wolves can't resist a female in heat.
“For some reason, I'm unable to contact the Alpha, so I'll take you back to his house.” he said sternly.
“No!” I shouted through the mind link before lowering my tone.
“Can you take me to see Tiannah?” I questioned but it was more of a demand. I got up carefully, walking in the opposite direction of Bryan's house.
I could feel Benson behind me. “Luna-“
“Luara, I hate formalities. Plus you're my best friend’s mate.”
He nodded his head and began to direct me in the direction of his house.
We walked side by side quietly as he led us to the edge of the woods. He sat down on his hind legs as he looked at me.
“My house is number 35 and is on the left side of the street. I must leave you here now as I'm supposed to be patrolling the border.” Benson said through the mind link as we neared the edge of the woods.
“There are also some clothes in that tree.” he added flicking his head toward the tree before darting off in the direction we just traveled from.
I thanked him before heading towards the tree and shifting back to human form. Grabbing the spare clothes that were hidden in the hole of the tree, I shove them on only to laugh. I looked ridiculous as the top and the shorts drowned me, forcing me to have to roll the top of the shorts over a few times.
Once the shorts were able to rest on my hips without falling down, I started walking to where Benson had told me, there were houses dotted all over the place.
I slowly made my way down the street admiring all the large and beautiful houses that came into my view. And I soon came in contact with house number 35; I smiled at the thought of being able to see my best friend.
I strolled down the short path to Benson's house and stared with wonder and awe at the sheer gorgeousness of his home. It wasn't as big or luxurious as Bryan's but it definitely was beautiful.
