Stay calm

Nolan’s POV

I let my anger speak, and Dennis sensed me. Fuck. I knew my strength, but the day Emily was taken, something dark came out of me. I was afraid of my own thoughts. I pushed it back and asked Minx.

Is you, Minx said

Okay, but why do I feel like a fucking beast about to rip everyone apart?

" Because you are a beast Minx said.

“You’re not helping," I shouted at him.

Now, Dennis looked in terror as my true aura pushed him back.  

Nolan, Emily said, smiling, maybe he is confusing me with someone else?

Yeah, maybe, I said firmly. I took her hand and pulled her behind me. Took a tray and started to put stuff on it. She touched my arm.

Nolan, look at me, let’s stay calm, we just got here.

I let out a breath, then smiled.

Of course, what else do you want to eat besides this favorite of yours? She looked at the tray and saw things I knew she liked. Tears filled her eyes.

I put the tray down and pulled her into my arms. I’m sorry, I just can’t help getting so possessive of you. Forgive me.

I am not mad about that. Her eyes went to the tray. You know what I like…and I …

Of course I do, and you know what I like. Now let's go eat and wipe the tears, no more. I kissed her forehead.

We sat down, and Henry sat across from us. I stared at him.

You breathe a word, and I will end you, I whispered, then your wish will come true, you know the one that you die.

Did you ask yourself why I left this settlement? Henry whispered back, then took a bite of the waffle.

Because you want to die? I asked while staring at him.

Henry let out a small smile. Watch her carefully, Nolan, not everything is as it seems. Too perfect, he said, looking around. You don’t have to worry about me. I held too many secrets, watched too many die. He got up and left.

Nolan, I’m scared. What’s that supposed to mean?

I don’t know, I said, liking the corner of her mouth, wanting to take her right there. The urge to hoist her over my shoulder and lock myself in the room with her was great.

" Eat more," I told her. "I can count your ribs." Need more protein, I said, adding one more egg to her plate.

Betty was coming towards our table. Please rest today; we will assign you jobs tomorrow. Jay ate, and he is clean. I will take you to see him, and it's up to you if you want him to stay there for today or take him to your cabin.

I looked at Emily. We will let him get used to other infants, since we have jobs tomorrow…

Great, find me when you’re done eating.

Do you find her creepy? Emily asked me.

I do, and George is almost like they have a mask. I sense a little fear of me, I don’t know why.

After breakfast, Betty walked us to the children's center. Windows were painted with colorful fish. Inside was full of children, never saw so many, from infants to maybe eight-year-olds?

This way, Betty said. She opened the door to a large room full of wicker bassinets. I saw Jay’s name on one.

Emily picked him up, and his fists were in his mouth. She kissed him and sniffed him, then put him back. I love you, little man.

We walked back to the cabin to find the boxes of stuff we needed to put away. She walked to the pile, and I grabbed her from behind. Emily turned, and her lips kissed me. I deepened the kiss, and we were making desperate noises as we kept undressing. My body touched hers, and it was as if I were in another world; everything faded. I was nibbling her inner thigh before my tongue found the folds and clit. She was moaning, and I had no patience. I wanted to do everything for her. She grabbed my hair, pulling my head up. Then, on top of her kissing her chest, her hand found my arousal, and she was teasing herself with the head of my cock, I growled.

Take me, Nolan, she whispered breathless…

I slid in and stopped. Fuck she is tight, and I am overwhelmed with her scent, moving my hips, slowly savoring her, caressing her curves.

She felt good in my arms, her beautiful body pinned under me. I wanted to mark her, but it wasn't the right time; instead, I just nibbled her neck.

I picked the pace, and her nails were digging into my back. I knew she was close.

Lifted her leg onto my shoulder. I pushed deeper, and she screamed my name as she trembled. I growled, releasing inside, as I felt my cock pulsating.

I pulled back and looked at her, making sure she was okay, that I didn’t hurt her.

She smiled at me. I love her smile; it is so natural. I pulled out and moved to the side. My arm dragged her close to me. We just stayed embraced, no words. I petted her hair, and her hand caressed my chest. I was happy, and I wanted to ask if she was. Having a mate felt different; I didn’t know that. The women I had before were random fun. She-wolf, and humans never involved feelings.

Emily was special; I felt everything with her. Now we have to figure out how to awaken her wolf, or what is wrong with her wolf. And why has no one ever figured out she is a wolf?
