Chapter 12

I’m chasing Ava through the forest. Why is she running from me? “Ava!” I yell to her. She runs even faster. Sprinting at this speed seems effortless. The earth feels so good under my feet. I look down and realize that I must have fully shifted. She’s running from me because I’m trying to kill her.

I wake up screaming in a cold sweat. Reed snaps up and scoops me up into his arms. I’m just sobbing uncontrollably. Seeing myself like that scares me half to death. I’m not a killer. I would never do anything to hurt Ava. She must be wondering where I am. What if she thinks I left?

She knows exactly where you are.

How is he so certain? “The last time I saw her was before I stepped outside for air. I need to go talk to her.” Reed grabs me by the hand as I stand up, “Don’t bother. She’s pissed at you right now.” How would he know that? Oh that’s right, “You can all hear each other but I can only hear your thoughts. How is that fair?” He looks puzzled, “Why is that?” He asks. “I guess I’m just different.” I say.

Ava needs time and you need to meet the Alpha.

I shuffle my feet, “What if he doesn’t approve of me?” Reed lifts my chin with his finger, “He has to.” Part of me actually believes him. The other half thinks he’s going to kill me. “Why would you think that?” Ugh, “I’m just a nervous wreck.” He pulls me in for a hug, “Alpha Wes is gonna let you join the pack.”

“What if he wants to make me the pack slave?” I look to reed. “He can’t do that now. You’re mine and I’m yours.” He points to his neck and mine, “These marks solidify our forever bond. We are fated mates.” While I feel assured, I’m still scared. My stomach is in knots thinking about Ava. “She’ll be fine.” He says.

I shave my legs in the tub. Reed sits on the floor by me. He hasn’t left my side since last night. I kind of like that. He helps me out of the tub and wraps a towel around my body. Reed bites his lip and lifts me up onto the counter top. The towel goes flying. I grip the counter as he finds his way inside of me. He’s looking right into my eyes. Reed moves in and out of me ever so slowly.

The cosmic energy is making me lightheaded. I throw my head back and moan. He goes deeper with every thrust. “Look at me.” He says. “I can’t.” I moan to him. “Aster look at me right now.” I shake my head no. He grabs the back of my head and forces me to look into his eyes as he pounds me harder. “That’s it.” He says. I close my eyes as I’m about to cum. “Look at me!” He yells.

It takes all the strength I have to focus on his eyes. I lose my breath as I’m about to explode. “Come with me.” Reed pulls me off the counter holding my ass with one hand. The other bracing himself against the wall. My head hits the mirror. He holds me down on him and pushes in harder.

Reed and I orgasm together while looking into each others eyes. It’s the most intense feeling. He slowly lowers himself down onto the floor. Somehow he’s still inside of me. He begins to bounce me up and down. “I’m not sure I can take anymore.” I plea to him. Reed flips me over onto my back and spreads my legs.

He puts two fingers into me. I’m so wet from before. He slides in a third. “Ow.” I cry. His hands are huge. Reed puts his tongue into me instead. He’s switching between his mouth and his fingers. “I want you to cum for me again.” He says to me as he rubs his thumb over my clit. “I don’t think I can.” I say. He laughs at me, “Oh is that so?” He fingers me and rapidly rubs my clit.

He flips me over onto my hands and knees. Reed’s ready for round two. He slams his cock into me. My chest is on the floor. I put my head in my hands to brace myself. He yells, “Are you gonna fuckin’ cum for me?” I scream, “Yes!” He slaps my ass hard. “Ow fuck!” He spanks me harder. I can feel my insides start to throb on his cock. “I’m gonna cum.” Reed stops.

I turn to look at him. “Lie down.” He demands. My body isn’t responding quick enough for him. He picks me up and carries me to the kitchen table. Reed clears everything off with one hand. Laying me down with the other. He takes a seat as if he’s about to eat a meal. I spread my legs for him. He reaches under me and pulls me into his face. “Oh my god. That feels so fucking good.” I yell to him.

Aster I want you to cum in my mouth.

I’m going to hell. I put my hand on his head to guide him. He likes that. I rub my clit with my other hand. Reed stops me and takes over. I prop myself up onto my elbows so I can watch him. I shake my head, “Don’t stop. Here it comes.” I fall flat onto the table. He moans and grunts as I explode all over his face. My whole body quivers as I scream, “Fuck yes. Oh Shit Reed… Damn!” I breathe.

He stands up and gently places his hands on my hips, “You taste so good. I could eat you all day.” I laugh, “Please don’t. I can’t take anymore.” He helps me sit up. Reed holds my head in his hands and kisses me so softly. “Go get cleaned up. It’s time to meet the Alpha.” He says. I look at him dumbfounded, “I just showered.” He smiles, “Now you smell like sex. Not a great first impression.”
