To the Moon and Back

Chapter 8

                                        *Jason`s POV*

I wasn`t sure if she would even feel the mate bond. If I’m being honest, I was terrified she would be one of the humans who is unaffected by the bond.  Sometimes humans do not feel the spark or the immediate draw of the mate bond. Bonds with those humans can be weak.  But My Sammy was special.  I could tell I had been worried for nothing; she even felt the sparks! I’m sure she had no idea what she was feeling, but she was most definitely feeling it.  Her body betraying any attempt she was making to seem calm and collected.  I could hear her heart beating rapidly in her chest and its pace quickened when her eyes met mine. Her breathing was ragged, as if she were on the last leg of a marathon. It seemed she was having almost as much trouble controlling herself as I was having controlling Maxwell. From the moment the scent of her arousal hit my nose Max began to howl and scratch at the surface.   “MINE! MARK HER! MARK OUR MATE! NOW! SHE WANTS US!”  he was growling and howling and freaking out, he went full blown Dumb wolf. “MAX!!”  I practically have to yell through our link.  “PLEASE! Max Please chill! This is our only shot! So please for both of our sakes! Please just calm down and let me take point on this! WE can’t lose her!” I plead with him.  He doesn’t answer but does settle down and stops fighting me for control.  After asking Sammy to join me on a private tour I quickly Mind linked Alice!  “Ally?”  “what do you want J you only use that nick name when you’re buttering me up!” I couldn’t help the laugh that asked my lips, she knows me so well!  “SOOO how do you feel about babysitting that lil pack of rugrats?” I point my chin towards the kids Samantha has in her charge “Oh, is that all, this lil one here is a charmer, I’d love to escort John and his friends around.” She shot me a smile.  “thanks Alice!” “she’s beautiful man! Congrats!”  I didn’t answer with words, I simply sent her a smile before mind linking some of the other wolves to setup a few surprises. My mate hadn’t answered my invitation yet, she seemed to be at war with herself.  She was approaching the group of kids hmm maybe she’s gonna ask the kids?    While Samantha spoke to John, Alice occupied the other kids. Sammy kept looking over at me and smiling. This was going to be a long day of some serious self-control.  It seems as if John, my mate’s boy pup had taken a liking to Alice.  He was excited to have her spend time with him and his friends.  Max pulled me from my thoughts.  “you smell that Jason?!? She`s turned on, she wants us!”.  Dumb wolf of course I smell her. I`m trying to think of any other thing in the world besides throwing her legs over my shoulder and finding out if she tastes as good as she smells!  “DAMN IT max I’m trying to not think about it! She smells like my new favorite meal!”  Max howls approvingly at the thought.  I notice Sammy kneeling talking to john. “John sweetie do you mind if Miss Alice hangs out with your group while mommy and Mr. Silvers go talk for a while?”. The little boy seemed to think about it real hard before he finally answered. “I get to hang out with Alice!?! She’s so nice!” he looks around and lowers his voice to a whisper before he continues “and she’s really pretty!!”.  They giggle together before john throws his arms around his mom hugs her tightly. He soon runs off back to the group but not before kissing her cheek and yelling “HAVE FUN MOMMMMMMYYYYY”.   Once their group is whole again, they head off on the tour.  After giving Samantha a moment to watch them walk off I address my mate. “My Lady” I offer her my bent arm to link hers in, so we could walk arm and arm and get to know each other!  By her reaction I must assume that all her Exes have had the romantic capabilities of tree bark! First, she seemed utterly confused, then shocked which was soon replaced by joy.  Soon she had linked her arm in mine and giggled! She was adorable! How could anyone have her in their life and not pamper and spoil her!? It angered me that she was used to being treated with such indifference. Since she had never been treated like the Queen she truly is, I knew I would change that!  My little Luna will know her worth if it was the last thing I do, she deserves nothing less than the absolute best!  “Jason! It smells like she has dogs! I want to know more about her! Smells like she has her own little pack! Find out what kind!” maxwell was right now that I was so close it smells like she has a few dogs and other animals too! “I just hope it’s not chihuahuas” we both say at the same time. I chuckle and he continues speaking “I just want to know more about our mate J! I’m behaving so can you ask stuff you know I want to know!?!”  “ok max that’s fair enough, I know this is hard for you, thank you for being so uncharacteristically calm!”   as soon as I have thanked Max, for not being his usual dominant alpha wolf self, I turned all my attention back to my Mate! It wasn’t just Max that wanted to know everything about the gorgeous brown eyes woman whose arm looked so good linked in mine! “So, Sammy, is it ok if I call you Sammy or do you prefer Samantha?
