I pulled into the compound spinning my wheels. There was a huge cloud of dust that coated the Jeep. Matt ran out of the house at full speed as I scooped up Katie, and handed her to him “Here, take her directly to Dr. Nelson. She’ll give her fluids to get the Ketamine out of her system.” Matt nodded and took off towards the hospital. I turned to the yard where the whole rest of our pack was shifted and ready to go. I could see Kevin in the forefront of the pack, followed by Cade and few others. I didn’t see Gavin among them. Go figure, he’s probably still pouting in his office. That’s when I saw him step out onto the front porch. He put his finger up in the air and curled it towards his chest. f**k, here we go. “Gavin, we don’t have time for this s**t! We have minutes-” He held up his hand in front of my face and closed his eyes. “Inside. Now.” He then pointed his finger to the open door. Gavin gave a tight nod to the warriors waiting in the treeline before following me inside. I spun around towards him once I heard the door click. “You can not just treat me like a child in front of my pack!” He closed his eyes and crossed his arms. He took a deep, shaky breath, no doubt trying to keep his composure. “And YOU cannot disrespect me in front of our pack.” Well, at least he said our pack.
“Stella, what were you thinking? You picked the shadiest bar to go to? You put both you and Katie in extreme danger. No wonder Matt wouldn’t sit still the whole night. His wolf knew something was wrong. Now you bring these fuckers back to our home?”
Gavin pressed his fingers to the bridge of his nose. I couldn’t hold it back anymore. “You think I wanted this to happen? The only reason that I went out with Katie tonight was to blow off some steam because of the way that you’ve been treating me.” Gavin’s eyes shot open, “You didn’t even give me a chance to apologize. You stormed out and threw your engagement ring at me. What was I supposed to do? You clearly didn’t want me to follow you.” I could see the hurt in his eyes but I knew that I couldn’t back down now, we were so close to clearing this fuckery up. I took a couple soothing breaths before looking into his eyes. “Gavin, you’ve had weeks to apologize. Instead you made me twist and wriggle like a worm on a hook. If you knew you were treating me like s**t then why did you continue with it?” I could see his eyes turning red, he was about to cry.
“I’m so sorry bug, I know that none of this was your fault. It just wasn’t the right time for us. I couldn’t stop thinking about the pup that we lost. What he would have become, what he would have looked like, how much we would have loved him. I didn’t know how to process it, so I just shut down. I didn’t mean for you to feel like I was angry with you. I was just so broken that I didn’t want to open up to anyone. I am so sorry that I hurt you like that.” I’ve heard that before. Tears were now streaming down his face. I could understand the way he felt but I didn’t understand why he didn’t think that we could get through this together.
He buried his face in his hands and continued to cry. I took a deep breath and stepped towards him. If we were ever going to get past this, I knew that I would have to forgive him. I’m not like that with most people, but he is my mate and I could still feel our bond. It hadn’t been severed, which means that the Goddess still wanted us to be together. The question is, did I?
I took a step forward and grabbed his elbows and pulled down so I could see his face. He was surprised to see me standing in front of him. I pressed my head against his chest and felt his arms wrap around me. He leaned down and planted a kiss in my curls before resting his chin on my head. “You will never treat me like that again, this is the last strike. I don’t care if I murder someone in front of you. I don’t have much more forgiveness left.” I said this declaration with my head still pressed to his heart. “Never again bug, I promise.” I closed my eyes and inhaled his sandalwood and coconut.
Just as my heart started to calm, I heard screaming mixed with growls just outside the front door. My eyes shot open and goosebumps covered my body. I felt Scarlet awaken and she was on high alert. I broke from Gavin’s arms and headed towards the door. “Oh no you don’t, they got this. We’re going to bed.” oh my gosh, bed sounded so good right about now.
I woke up with Gavin’s arms firmly wrapped around me. There was no escaping his grasp without hurting him. I really wanted to go check on Katie but I knew that it would be nearly impossible to wake Gavin. I’m sure he hadn’t slept soundly in weeks. I wanted to link her first, if I didn’t get anything back right away I knew that she was probably still asleep.
Katie? Are you there babe?
After a few minutes, I didn’t get anything back so I tried for Matt.
Morning Mattie, how is she doing?
She’s okay, a little groggy from the lingering drugs but Doc says that she’ll be back to her old self by the end of the day. Dr. Nelson said that her wolf, Roxie is flushing the drugs out quickly.
Awesome! I’ll be down as soon as I can. I’m so sorry Mattie, last night was so stupid.
Yes it was shitty, but you kept your promise bug. You protected my Luna with your life. Don’t worry about rushing. Doc said that Katie needs her sleep, give her a couple more hours. When she’s awake, you’ll be the first to know.
I turned my link off and settled back into Gavin’s arms. It wasn’t long before I was fast asleep again.
About an hour later I woke up to an empty bed. I freaked out for a fraction of a second before settling when I heard our bedroom door open. I sat up when I saw Gavin coming in with a tray of food. “Morning bug, I brought you some greasy food to soak up the rest of the alcohol in your stomach.” The sudden wave of nausea hit me, I was more hung over than I thought. My mouth started to water at the smell of bacon. I started to devour my food the second Gavin set the tray on my lap. He curled up next to me as I ate. “I’m so sorry bug, I’m sorry that I’ve made the last couple weeks miserable for us. I missed you so much, I just didn’t know where to start.” I had a mouth full of eggs when I wanted to respond. I swallowed the large chunk and clutched my chest, that almost went down the wrong pipe. I took a swig of orange juice to clear the blockage, I knew the suspense was killing him.
“I know what we went through was the toughest thing that we’ve had to face. Besides the whole kidnapping thing. I just didn’t expect you to just phase me out, I thought that we were stronger than that. I’m not going to say that I forgive you 100%, but this breakfast in bed is a good start.” Gavin nodded tightly, “Now, I want to shower and get the bar smell off of me and then I want to go visit Katie, are you coming with me?” Gavin smiled at me, “Of course bug, I will never leave your side again.” hopefully this time he means it.
I dressed quickly and threw my hair up in a bun. Gavin was waiting for me in the living room. “You look so beau-” I walked right past him as I shook my head, “No time, I have a best friend to apologize to.”
We walked into Katie’s room. She was eating a similar breakfast that I had eaten a little earlier. Good greasy food to soak up the rest of the toxins. Dr. Nelson was checking her vitals when we stepped up to the side of the bed. Katie beamed when she saw me, I was sure that she would be beyond pissed. “Stella! What a surprise. Do you want some breakfast?” I matched her smile the best I could and shook my head, “no thanks Kat, I ate a little bit ago.” I looked around her and assessed the damage. “I’m so glad that you’re in high spirits. I want to apologize for last night. I shouldn’t have put us in that much danger. I didn’t think that that would happen.” She took a deep swallow and quickly shook her head. “No, no, no. You have a bad habit of blaming yourself for everything that happens. It was my fault, I was the one that was being the stupid drunk girl at the bar.” Now I was the one that was mad for her blaming herself. I walked over and sat next to her on the bed. “Katie, just because you were having fun does not mean that it was your fault you were drugged. Those fuckers tried to take advantage of you. Yes, we both should have been paying more attention, but it’s not like we brought this on ourselves. We were just trying to have a good time, that didn’t give them the right to drug you.” her face fell a bit as she nodded. I leaned over carefully so I didn’t disturb the wires that she was connected to. “I love you Katie, don’t ever forget that. If I had to protect you with my life again, I would do it in a heart beat. I just wanted to come check on you. Now, get some rest, I’ll come back in a couple hours.” She kissed my cheek before I stood up from the bed. I blew her a kiss before Gavin and I disappeared out of the room.
We were just about to walk out of the hospital when I heard Dr. Nelson call after us. “Luna! Luna!” I turned around when she was about 10 feet from us, “I was wondering if you wanted to stick around, I need to do your follow up.” Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I nodded back at her before turning to Gavin, he read my mind. “I told you that I’m not leaving your side. Let’s go.” He grabbed my hand and we followed Dr. Nelson back inside.
“You’re healing quiet well Luna, I would say about another 2 or 3 days and you should be good to go. You’re lucky that Scarlet knew to alert Gavin, if he didn’t bring you in when he did you could have lost one of your tubes.” I nodded in agreement. I am glad that they were both there to protect me. Dr. Nelson stepped over to the sink to wash her hands. “Hey doc?” Dr. Nelson turned to look at her Alpha, “I was wondering if we could do a few tests… on me.”
We were both shocked, I tugged on Gavin’s sleeve so he would look down at me. “Don’t worry bug, I just want to make sure that we’re both good to go.” I sucked my lips in and nodded. Dr. Nelson smiled at Gavin before turning to me. “I’ll be right back Luna, why don’t you get dressed and I’ll give you a summary of where to go from here.” I nodded as Gavin stepped forward to follow Dr. Nelson.
This was it, we would find out if it was him or me.
By the time I was dressed Dr. Nelson had knocked on the door. “Come in!” She peeped her head in to make sure that I was decent. She was carrying her clipboard with my chart. She grabbed her rolling stool and sat in front me on the bed. “So I looked closer at your blood work, there are no major red flags. You are just slightly anemic, so you need to watch your blood pressure and your sugar levels. I know that you’ve been through a lot lately so it’s no surprise that your pressure is a little high. The more alert you are to danger the more stress you will accrue. Other than that, you are perfectly healthy and everything seems to be in working order.” I nodded along as she spoke and then I smiled when she told me that I was in ship shape. Okay, so it wasn’t me. Now we just needed to wait for Gavin’s tests. Doc said that they would be ready in a few days, so now all we need to do is wait.
A few days later Dr. Nelson called. Gavin and I were camped out in his office when the call came through. I ran over and curled up in his lap before I swiped the screen. “Hello Dr. Nelson.” She took a deep breath on the other end of the line. “Hello Luna, is Alpha around?” I shot Gavin a look. “Yes, he’s here. You are on speaker.” There was a short pause before she continued. “Good. I don’t want to keep you guys waiting with the results. I’m calling to tell you that there is nothing wrong with you Alpha. Everything seems to be in working order, there shouldn’t be any issues going forward. Just remember that practice makes perfect! That being said, keep me updated as you continue to try. We will check back in in a couple months. There is no need to worry, It would raise concern after 6 months or more.”
Gavin and I beamed at each other, at least we knew that there was nothing mechanically wrong with either of us. Maybe there was a higher power that was keeping us from conceiving.
We thanked Dr. Nelson and hung up. I slid my phone onto Gavin’s desk and turned to kiss him. He wrapped his arms around me and I felt him fussing with my bra strap. I pulled away to look up at his face. “Excuse me sir, what do you think you’re doing?” He had a boyish grin on his face. “You heard the doctor, practice makes perfect.” I rolled my eyes and leaned up to kiss him.
**GAVIN’S POV**
Once we hung up with Dr. Nelson, I had a sigh of relief. Nothing was wrong with me, thank god. I would hate to be the reason why we couldn’t have pups. When I saw the joy in Stella’s face I was instantly hard. I wanted to take her here in my office but trying for pups was meant to be special. I leaned down and kissed her and reached for her bra, nothing said we couldn’t start in here. She pulled away from my kiss and looked up at me, with humor in her eyes. “You heard the doctor, practice makes perfect.” She rolled her eyes at me and I had a wicked idea.
“Bug, did you just roll your eyes at me?” She gave me the cutest grin I’ve ever seen and shrugged her shoulders. I pushed back from my desk and stood up with Stella still in my arms. “Strip down to your panties. Now.” She bit her lip as I set her down on the ground. “After your punishment, I will take you to bed and f**k you until you can’t walk. Understand?” She nodded slowly with wide eyes. She stripped down to her black lacy thong as I watched with my arms crossed. She was a whole f*****g snack. The way her g-string was swallowed by her swollen ass, her tiny waist and her giant, beautiful breasts. I couldn’t believe how gorgeous her body is. When I was satisfied, I pointed to my desk. “All fours. Be careful not to fall.” She nodded with her lip still tucked between her teeth. I was instantly hard, she was so f*****g cute. I continued to watch her as she slowly climbed up onto my desk. I circled her once she was in position. I could smell her arousal and it drove me wild. I knew that she secretly loved her punishments.
I leaned towards her dripping peach and took a deep whiff. She was divine in every way. I slipped my pointer finger into her waist band of her panties and shimmied it over her porcelain skin. I took a step back and admired her slit, she was quivering from anticipation. I placed my nose into her ass cheek and started sucking at her center. She let out a soft moan as I nipped at her, licking up her juices as they dripped down her inner thighs. I couldn’t hold back anymore, I reached up and grabbed her hips and plunged my tongue into her. She jumped a little at the impact. She started to wiggle in front of me, “You will not c*m bug, this is part of your punishment.” When she didn’t answer I said it again, “Do you understand bug?” there was a short pause before I heard those words, “Yes, sir.” That was it, now it’s on. I could feel her start to tense up, I knew that she was trying to hold back. I didn’t want her to c*m just yet, so I decided to pull out. I stood behind her as her body trembled. She was indeed a sight to behold. I circled around to the left side of her, and stepped closer to her juicy, thick ass.
I turned my back and quickly wrapped my arm around her waist to keep her still. I placed my palm on her right cheek and started rubbing circles into her skin. “Stay still bug, until I tell you otherwise. Understand?”
“Yes sir.” Those words were music to my ears. I brought my hand back and laid a hard slap on her cheek. “Count with me Stella. We are rolling over your punishment from last night. I will strike you 10 times, you will count every time. Ready?” She nodded her head, “Yes, Sir.”
Stella continued to count as I went on with her punishment. Her right cheek was bright red from my assault. “You’re such a good girl bug, would you like to c*m now?” I leaned around so she could see me in her peripheral vision. “Yes sir, I would like that very much.” I knew that I could make her c*m in seconds. I didn’t want her to be spent already but she did so well, I wanted to give her a small reward. I walked back behind her and placed my hand on her lower back. She was so wet that my four fingers slid in easily. She moaned loudly and hung her head as she prepared for her orgasm. I started rapidly hooking my fingers down, hitting her g-spot. She arched her back as her head tilted towards the ceiling. “That’s it baby, c*m for me in 3.2.1...” Like clockwork, her perfect p***y clenched down and she squirted all over my desk, it began dripping down my arm. She was absolute perfection.
As she came down from her high, I could see that her knees were going to give out. I quickly scooped her up in my arms and carried her down the hall. She nuzzled into my neck as we reached the bedroom door, “Don’t you dare bug, we’ve got pups to make.” She giggled her angelic laugh as I opened and closed the door with my foot.
I carried her over to the bed and plopped her down. Her beautiful breasts bounced along when she hit the mattress. I reached out and grabbed her n*****s in my fingers. She threw her head back at the sensation, I saw goosebumps spread across her perfect skin. She instinctively bent her knees up giving me the perfect shot to her tight p***y. She was still dripping, waiting for my hard c**k. I leaned across her body, forcing her to lay back. I grabbed hold of myself and guided into her, she felt amazing. She moaned as she closed her eyes. I could feel every fold in her pink box until I hit her cervix. She was filled at max capacity. I wanted her to savor me, I wanted to savor her. I started off nice and slow, pulling out just to my tip before pushing back into her. My whole body felt tingly, this is what they mean when they say “making love.” All the love that I felt for her came rushing through my veins. I looked down at her perfect, heart shaped face as it contorted with pleasure. She was biting down on the back of her hand. Oh no you don’t bug. I reached forward and pulled her skin out of her mouth. “I want to hear you baby. Don’t ever try to hide your ecstasy again. Understand?” She opened her eyes, they were glowing purple, “Yes sir.” I smirked at her, “Now, be a good girl and place your hands behind your head.” She nodded slightly and shifted her hands Now I was ready to f**k the s**t out my goddess, soon she would be my wife. It was hard not calling her that already.
We were both utterly spent from our f*****g. The bed was completely soaked thanks to my goddess. I could tell she was embarrassed, but to me it was the biggest compliment that she could give me. We laid side by side, trying desperately to catch our breath. I glanced over at the clock, that was the longest that we had every f****d. We kept switching positions so our session was close to an hour. We couldn’t get enough of each other.
After a few minutes, Stella turned onto her side. “I guess I should switch these sheets.” I didn’t understand why she wanted to, did she really think that we wouldn’t f**k again tonight? I decided to let it go, whatever makes her happy. She shot off the bed, I guess she regained her energy quickly. “Off, I need to strip the bed.” I groaned in protest and rolled to the side until my feet were on the floor. I walked to the top corner of the bed and pulled the sheet over the corner. I looked up at bug, she was rolling the sheets into a big ball and turned to head to the hamper by the bathroom. “I’ll call for an Omega for some fresh sheets. Why don’t you jump in the shower bug, mother will be expecting us at dinner in an hour.” She smiled brightly at me before skipping to the bathroom. Why was she so f*****g cute. She’s just a big kid at heart.
I dressed in some clean sweats and headed down to my office to clean that up, before someone stumbled across it.
Bug, I’m heading to the office to make sure things are in order. I’ll be back in about an hour.
Yes sir.
**STELLA’S POV**
After I was successfully clean, I headed to my closet to find something easy to throw on. It was getting close to 7, and I had missed my nap today. I grabbed a pair of Gavin’s sweatpants and slipped into them. They were just big enough where I still looked cute but felt comfy. I pulled my hot pink sports bra over my head and followed it with a thick, black tank top. I tossed my curls up and put some moisturizer on my face. My tummy started to rumble just as I was heading towards the door. I heard Gavin’s footsteps in the hallway, he was coming to get me for dinner. I opened the door just as he reached me, “Hey bug, you look beautiful.” I really wanted to roll my eyes, but I already knew how that was going to end, I just looked up at him and said thank you. He extended his elbow and I wrapped my arm into the crook before heading for the elevator.
After dinner was cleared so did the rest of the dining room. It was getting closer to my bed time, I knew that we would only be able to get a few things done tonight. Diane had brought 3 different binders and laid them out in front of me. I was so tired that I could barely focus. All I know is that we will have all white flowers with bright green foliage, nice and simple. I picked navy blue and gold for my accent colors and we talked about food options. Everything was coming together slowly, we decided that we would plan for June 10th, just a couple weeks after my 22nd birthday. It would be almost exactly a year since Gavin and I met. Diane wanted to speed up the timeline, but I didn’t want a Winter wedding and it seemed fitting to have our wedding day on a special anniversary.
By 9, I was officially spent, I needed sleep and fast. After I kissed Diane goodnight, Gavin scooped me up and carried me to bed. “I’m assuming that there will be no more fuckery tonight?” I didn’t even answer him, that was the last thing I remembered before I fell asleep in his arms.
