Jordan wasn't sure what to think of the situation. What were the chances of her not remembering yet randomly picking up such important bits and pieces of their shared past? Suddenly, the food turned tasteless.Selly, who was clueless about his inner turmoil encouraged, “We do not know what we might face there. It's better to be prepared.”Of course, Jordan thought bitterly. His mother had said just that afterwards. It's like Selly was coping and pasting everything his mother said to him on that day. The memory was intact like it happened yesterday…~“Today is the night of the full moon.” Luna Collette said as she added food on the twins' respective plates, “ And you boys are going to try to shift again.”Dominik didn't object. He never did. Taking more than necessary, he gobbled up everything on his plate quickly, excited at the night ahead.He loved the forest. Everytime he saw his family as well as other pack members embracing their werewolf side and running into the woods, it gav
That night, Selly couldn't sleep. She kept tossing and turning.“Is something the matter?” Jordan, who was beside her, asked.Selly’s stopped mid-turn, he was awake all this time?“I don't know,” she said as she turned to his side only to find him already propped on his elbow, watching her in that dimly-lit cottage. Although Selly wasn't aware of it, both their eyes could adjust and work just fine even in the dark. It's just that she never took time to think of it differently.“Is it about tomorrow's journey?” He tucked her stray hair on her ear making her cheeks feel warm instantly.“I think so.” She said, “Something about the tunnel’s entrance…”“What about it?” He said, his voice deep and inviting against her newly-found sensitive and receptive self.He too, couldn't sleep, not because he feared that he might fall sick but at the fact that anything could happen while they were there, making it even harder to get out of that strange place. All he wanted was to be back home. Back to
When she woke up, Selly stretched her sore body only to realise in an instant the man who slept beside her wasn't there.Lazily, she forced herself out of the bed and her eyes landed on burning firewood.Maybe he went outside, she thought as she opened the wooden door, sticking her head out, she scanned the woods but he was nowhere to be seen.Her heart skipped. Where did he possibly go without informing her beforehand? She went back inside and pulled the hide closer to her chest. It wasn't hers and she believed it belonged to Jordan even if he denied it again and again.Even after half an hour had passed, Jordan didn't return. Panic started to kick in. Did he leave me?Maybe she was overthinking or maybe not, she wasn't sure.Feeling restless, she left the bed with worry nagging at her.What if he was…gone?What if he found a way out of the rest and left without her?For minutes she kept pacing inside the small house and occasionally checking outside for any signs of him.The memor
Wanting and not being wanted back was what Selly was afraid of. The reason she was hesitant to go beyond the river and follow the drums.Jordan, who came from nowhere, had accepted her and actually wanted her back.He was gentle. Patient. Taking care of her even when she was initially mean and wanted him gone, he stayed.Jordan understood just where to touch and how much pressure to apply every single time. His tongue knew the contours of her body, every nook and cranny he licked spotless. Simply put, he was in tune with her needs.Now that he had kissed her like a hungry man and stole her breath a couple times, with one motion he made her lay on her stomach, leaving her back and behind at his mercy.His predatory eyes scanned the naked woman beneath him and his manhood pulsed, sticky and colorless fluid coating its throbbing head. His wolf purred in anticipation.Selly raised her upper body just in time to feel his weight as he thrust in her in one decisive move and she gasped, her
The following day was nothing short of a shock. Selly’s cheeks were on fire. Her amber eyes finding any excuse not to meet those dark one of his. The memories of raw passion and lust, those weird sounds she was making as she made love with the stranger returned with full force.Jordan, who sat across from her, chuckled, “There's no reason for you to feel shy.”Shy? She was ashamed of herself. She didn't even know what got into her to start acting so needy and straight forward. One minute she was sick and the second, she was horny. What kind of transition was that?“You don't need to beat yourself over it. That was…hot.”He said as his mind wandered back to the day before. How he missed being inside of her again. The thought made him hard instantly. “ And I enjoyed it as much as you did.”Easy for him to say, she thought.What were they? mates? He doubted they were yet. She had marked him accidentally while he hadn't, did it even fully count?At the same time, raising the issue of ma
The journey back home was mainly long silence and a few moments of small talk.Luna Collette, just like his son didn't have much to say, not after the emotional rollercoaster ride they just endured.Alpha Valery Flame was blunt. Too blunt that if one didn't know better they would easily conclude that he did not like Dominik. At the same time, he was more than helpful during the hearing which left them in a dilemma.“You should mark your mate. The sooner the better.” Lewis broke the silence.“That will only happen once she is ready.”“But it's already giving you unnecessary problems.” Collette emphasized.“I won't force it on her, mom. Unfortunately, her father will have to adjust.”“Valery is the last person we want to offend at the moment. I hope you know that.” His father reminded.Dominik chose not to comment on his father's words. He knew what he meant but it didn't erase the fact that he was offended.“Try not to think too much about it. We will find a way out of this together.”
