Chapter 24

Chapter 24: More Than Enough

My body was sore all over because of the training but Calgary's presence helped me heal faster. When Hyrum's men came during dinner to inform us that help had finally arrived and the perimeters were safe, somehow, he felt a sense of relief even for a short while.

"Would you like some more soup?" I asked Calla while we sit on the table with Ahma, Lynel, Alpha Lawrence, and Calgary.

Calla nodded happily. "Thank you, Mommy," she said before giving me a sweet smile.

Calgary caressed his daughter's hair before he leaned to me. "We'll just talk about something in my office. Finish your food."

I jerked my head in response. When he left with Lynel, Ahma, and Alpha Lawrence, I stood up carrying Calla's bowl to get her more soup, but Lindsey immediately followed me to the table where the caserole was.

She crossed her arms and shot up a brow at me. "Getting so comfy playing the fake mommy and wife role, huh?"

I rolled my eyes and shook my head. "Not now. I'm too tired to argue with you," I replied before I started putting some soup in Calla's bowl but the bitch just wouldn't stop. She held me by my wrist and twisted my arm, alerting everyone inside the pack house.

My teeth groaned as I felt pain in my arm, but before Lindsey was able to dunk my head inside the caserole, I remembered my training with Alpha Lawrence and knocked her down.

"I told you I'm not in the fucking mood," I said, glaring at her.

Calla rushed towards me, probably afraid that Lindsey and I would get into a real fight. When Calgary went back inside and saw Lindsey trying to get back on her feet, he shook his head in disappointment before he stormed towards us.

"What the hell is going on here?"

"Ask her. She twisted my arm just because I'm not in the mood to get into a fight with her," I replied before Calla pulled me by my arm and led me outside.

I stopped myself from smirking when I heard Calgary's voice thundered as Calla and I left the pack house. He probably had enough of Lindsey's drama that he failed to control his temper tonight.

Calla and I went to Calgary's house. I accompanied her to the bathroom when she brushed her teeth. When she was done, I tuck her in her bed before I went to my own room.

To my surprise, Calgary was already inside, waiting for me behind the door.

He shut the door behind me as soon as I got in before he drag me to my bed lay down with me.

I held my breath when his strong arms wrapped around my small frame.

"What did you do to Lindsey?" I asked after I faced him so I could caress his jaw with my fingertips.

His eyes turned sleepy because of my touch. "I gave her a warning. If she will still give you headaches or continue to bother you, I told her I'll either banish her or I'll rip her chest open with my own claws."

I blinked. "You told her that?"

"Yeah," he replied in a breathy way while he was pulling me closer to his chest. "I don't want you to throw a tantrum once the mating night comes."

I stopped myself from smiling. "I'm pretty sure I won't be able to be bitchy on you on that night. My heat would probably lor over me."

"And I can't wait to see you so turned on and ready to be claimed by me..." he uttered before he cupped my cheek and began kissing me.

As soon as I started kissing him back, Calgary's lips became a little aggressive. His kisses turned deeper, more sultry that it was almost impossible for the both of us to steal stop ourselves from wanting more.

Good thing he managed to stop branding my lips or else I might end up ripping his clothes so I could feel the warmth of his skin against my palm. God, I had never craved for someone this much in my life but our mate bond was so strong I wonder if I could still resist him until the mating night.

"I'll be gone for a couple days," he said after a few moments of silence.

My brows furrowed. "Why? Where are you going?"

He wrapped his leg around mine like a clingy koala. "We'll go to Remorse, see if their District's witch can do some protection barrier for the entire Nirvana District."

I felt Auror disapproving on Calgary's plan but we both know his plan was for the good of everyone in Nirvana.

I sighed. "Who's coming with you?"

"Just Ariz. Hyrum and Quira will have to stay here to make sure that if anything happens, someone will be here to defend the district with Lawrence." He looked me in the eyes. "Can I sleep here tonight? I don't wanna crave for you that much. At least let me bring something in my memory to distract myself with during the entire trip."

I smirked. "Are you sure we'll just sleep, hmm?"

Calgary flashed a devilish grin. "Depends. Wanna try something fun?"

I rolled my eyes at him. "We both know we're not supposed to try anything that can lead you to marking my neck."

He let out a soft chuckle before he locked me in his arms a little tighter. "I'm just kidding." He buried his face on my neck to plant some soft kisses on the sweet spot intended for his mark. "Having you this close is more than enough already." His warm breath tingled my ear. "My fantasies can wait..."

"What fantasies, hmm? Do you daydream about me moaning your name?" I teased, sparking lust in his eyes.

Calgary smirked in a meaninful way while he draws small circles on my tummy.

"In my dreams, you're not just moaning, babe..." He drew our faces closer until his minty breath was already filtering inside my parted lips. "You're screaming in pleasure while I fucking own you over... and over... and over again..."
