Eric-
When we left Kellan’s place, we headed back to Black Fang. Instead of stopping anywhere, we drove straight through. The entire drive, Leilani wouldn’t say a word.
Every time I had asked a question, she would just shrug. We were just about to pull into the garage, and I was getting frustrated. What happened in California had to have bothered her, I know it did me.
I hated that she wasn’t talking to me since I knew whatever she was thinking about was weighing heavy on her mind. Pulling into the garage, I parked the car and turned off the engine. Neither of us made an attempt to get out of the car.
“Do you want to talk about it?” I asked, turning towards her so I could see her better.
Once again, she shrugged, which only pissed me off. It wasn’t that I was even mad at her, I was mad at what she has been through to cause her to be like this. With a heavy sigh, I got out of the car.
I didn’t wait fo
Leilani-I had thought I could get into my room undetected. When Tate had come up behind me, he scared the living daylights out of me. At first, I had thought it had been Eric and he had caught me when I had been eavesdropping on his conversation with the Luna.Luckily it had only been Tate, who had wanted to make me an official member of the pack. After I accepted the pack as my own, he went on his way, leaving me alone. Not wanting Eric to find me, I made my way to my room and closed myself in.My heart felt like it was beating a million beats a second. I couldn’t believe what I had heard. Brook was basically telling Eric to just sign a contract with me and wait for things to work out. I remember what his reason was for wanting to sign the contract, but now it was different.Was I merely a means to an end for him? Was it really a mess that he had a contract with me? And what did she mean for him to face the music? Pacing in my room, I froze when I
Eric-“Maybe she meant when we finish the mate bond?” I asked, just before I lowered my head to lightly nibble on her neck, where my mark will go.To my surprise, she responded by emitting a soft moan. Finally, I could have what my brother has with his mate. I knew it wouldn’t be the same exactly, but I was sure I would be happy regardless.“You mean by having sex?” She purred as I continued to nibble on her neck.I couldn’t help by wonder if it was her that was responding to me, or the mate pull. As mates, it shouldn’t matter, but it did slightly. I wanted her to be wanting this of her own volition.“Yes, but I mean by claiming you fully as mine.” I pulled back from her neck to look her in the eyes. “Only if you want to and are ready.” I added.I studied her, trying to get a read on what was going through her head. I didn’t want her to agree to it if she wasn’t on
Leilani-I have read in books, that I would feel pain for the first time, but all I felt was a pleasure. It was so intense, that I felt as if I was floating. Suddenly I felt a presence in my mind, possibly my wolf but I was too engrossed in Eric that I didn’t bother asking.Wrapping my legs around his waist, I needed to feel him deeper. I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing right now. All I could do was lay here and hold on to him as if my life depended on it. My life did feel like it depended on it since each thrust he made into me made me as if I was going higher and higher into the clouds.My hands found their way to his back, wrapping around him as if they really needed to hold on. It was almost like my mind has been sucked into oblivion. I couldn’t even formulate a proper thought or idea.I could hear moans filling the room, but it had taken me a bit to realize I was the one making them. Eric pulled his lips away from mine, causin
Leilani-Waking up the next morning, I realized I had fallen asleep on Eric’s bed. I didn’t remember much after he marked me, in fact, I don’t even remember falling asleep. The last thing I remember was sitting on top of him still, just having come down from a sexual high.I remembered thinking I was feeling happy that I was no longer alone, then nothing after that. There had to be more that happened. I mean I was wearing a shirt that was probably ten times too big for me.I was also tucked up against Eric as he slept soundly. At least I was pretty sure he was still sleeping from the light snoring that was coming from him. When had I put on his shirt or even laid down?Remembering I felt my wolf last night, I searched my mind to try to see if I could reach her. I still wasn’t sure how it all worked if I had to reach out to her or if she was supposed to be there. Now that I knew I had a wolf, there had to be a way to reach her.
Eric-“Damnit, Eric! Put me down!” Leilani shouted for probably the tenth time today, since leaving the pack doctor.I didn’t care, I wasn’t taking any chances. She said she was feeling dizzy, so I didn’t want her to faint on me and not be able to catch her again. Plus, I didn’t want her using up all her energy if I was perfectly capable of carrying her.It wasn’t like she was heavy or anything, she practically weighed next to nothing with how small she was. There was possibly a chance I was feeling overprotective right now because I blamed myself for her condition. Before I had marked her she had been fine.Not even seconds after I fully claimed her as mine, did she pass out on top of me. I should have known then there was something wrong. Maybe I could have prevented things from getting worse.After she had passed out, I laid her down and stepped away from her to grab one of my shirts. She hadn’t th
Eric- “You don’t understand, I need my coven with me.” Cordelia tried to reason. “Then bring them here, but unless you want another war on your hand, you will refrain from using your powers against my pack.” Tate’s Alpha voice came out, although it would hold no effect on Cordelia. Her eyes moved to Tate as she spoke but quickly returned to Brook. It was fleeting, but I recognized the fear in her eyes when Brook moved slightly. I knew Brook was special, because of who her father was, but why would a witch be afraid of her? It wasn’t like Brook was part witch or anything. Granted her bloodline was blessed by the Moon Goddess, granting her special abilities. Nothing magical as far as I knew though. Feeling like Brook was going to be a big use against the witches, I stepped closer to Brook. As if Cordelia knew something the rest of us didn’t, she stood down and lifted her hands in front of her. At first, I thought she was going to attack, but she
Leilani-Why did I feel so peaceful here? I was surrounded by a field of purple flowers. There were some flowers I recognized, others I did not. One of the flowers I recognized were lilacs, which were my favorite flower.It seemed as if all my worries have just faded from me completely. If anything, I felt like I was whole. Other than this nagging feeling I had in the back of my mind that told me I didn’t belong here.Ignoring that, I walked through the rows of flowers, occasionally bending over to smell them. Every flower I came across looked beautiful and healthy, as if they have been well cared for. I was careful not to step on one.“Leilani.” I heard someone call my name, but when I looked around, I didn’t see anyone.Shrugging my shoulders, I continued my adventure through the flowers. When I came across a flower that didn’t seem right, I stopped walking. There was something strange about it.Other than the
Eric-I felt defeated right now. Seeing Leilani’s limp body like this, I felt like I haven’t been protecting her as a mate should. If I had been, I would have been able to protect her before she ended up like this.Turning her hand in mine, I was just about to place my other hand on her palm, when I noticed something that hadn’t been there before. Across the center of her palm, there was a burn mark. Straightening my back, I moved to lift her other hand.She had the same mark on her other hand. I called the warriors back in, needing to find out if something happened to her in the time I was gone. When neither of them knew where the burn marks came from, I wondered if it was the witch that did this to her.Lifting her in my arms, I carried her downstairs, back to my office. I didn’t figure Tate nor Brook would be here, but I didn’t expect them to both come running in as soon as I placed Leilani on the couch.“What
