Kaya
He said his name was Cade. I had never met anyone named that. Then again, I had yet to meet that many people. I wanted to know if there was any significance behind his name. I was examining him when he grabbed my hand.
It sent little tingles across my flesh. He pulled me past Quill and out of the hall with everyone. He continued to lead me up the stairs and then into a room. It was dark in there, but I had no problem seeing. My vision was superb, not to mention we wolves had already had the ability to see in the dark.
The next thing I saw was his face coming towards mine. Then I felt his lips connect with my own. I had never been kissed before, and I was hoping I was doing it right. I wish I could have asked him if I was okay. But the kiss began to deepen, and to me, it didn't seem like he thought I was a novice.
If he did think that, it didn't seem to faze him as he opened his mouth, and I reciprocated, opening mine. Letting him take the lead, I followed what he had done. I began to feel light and euphoric as the kiss became more demanding. I felt a wetness begin to pool between my legs.
What the hell was happening. I knew it would be natural to be drawn to your mate, but I didn't realize there would be a primal need to get naked and rub our bodies together. I knew what sex was. I knew it was supposed to be enjoyable, but I had never had the desire.
But in this instance, I wanted to experience it. I wanted him to be inside me. I wanted to know what it would be like to have his naked body pressed against mine. I knew the smell of my arousal was overpowering our room.
It was signaling to Cade that I wanted him. I knew he had felt the same as I had felt a bulge pressed against me. He had his hands all over my body. It wasn't enough; I wanted his hands on my flesh. I wanted to feel his skin against mine. I pulled my hands away from him and tried to lift my dress off. But he grabbed my hands. I looked at his mouth to see if he wanted to say something. "Not yet."
Not yet. Was he kidding me? I know how he felt the same. The signs were all there, but now he wanted to show restraint. My mother had told me it was natural to seal the mate bond relatively fast after finding each other. Why was he holding back? I know it wasn't me, so what was it? I just stared at him in the dark room. I wanted him to explain himself. He could tell by my face that I wanted an explanation.
"I want to do this right. I don't want to rush it in some dark room that is not mine." I felt my lips turn up, and I knew I had to have released a laugh. I had been so turned on that I had forgotten all about what was happening outside the door of this unknown room. He smiled and looked at me.
"So, you make sounds, laugh, and moan. "I felt my face get hot. I knew I was blushing. I can't believe I had moaned while we were kissing. I wondered how I must have sounded, probably like an idiot. I put my hands on my face, covering them in embarrassment. Cade pulled my hands away from my face so I could look at him. "No need to be embarrassed. I liked it."
Somehow, that didn't make me feel better; I was still embarrassed. My brother mind linked me. "Look, I know you found your mate and all, but you can't just run off to do. Goddess knows what.""Sorry." "Can you please come back to the party?" This time, I led Cade out of the room and back down to the party. We met back up with my brother. "Where the hell did you go."
Before I mind linked back, he cut me off, "You know what I don't want to know. I have a good idea. "I know he knew we had been kissing. He knew better than to think we did more than that, as my scent had not changed. Cade had asked me to dance, which was super friendly. But after the dance was over, a tall blond woman approached us.
She had a short bob that suited her face. Her dress showed her body, giving the impression of having a figure. Just then, Cade stepped before me, blocking my view of the women. I poked my head out from behind his back. I looked at the women's lips coated in ruby red color. "Cade, I didn't know you would be here. I am glad, though; maybe we could do what we did last time we were together."
She said and then began to trace her fingers up his arm. What the hell was going on. What did they do last time? Then, the woman's mouth moved again. "Come on. You liked it last time. I know I did, and after all, we are engaged."
Whoa what. Engaged. Oh, hell no. I don't know who this chick was, but he was mine. I pushed my lips together and growled. One of the things I could do was growl; it was menacing. My father even felt a bit intimidated when I did it.
My mother described it as uninhibited as I couldn't gauge the sound, and it came out like a feral wolf wanting to devour something. Cade turned around and looked at me with an amused look on his face. I felt eyes land on me. I knew it was because I had growled. Then, the woman looked right at me. "You are?"
I growled again. I couldn't help myself. I felt possessive like I never had. "Calm down." The women looked at Cade for some kind of explanation. I knew what he was saying without looking at him. I kept my eyes on the blond woman. She looked back at me. "Your mate?"
KayaI lay there in the bright light and sat up suddenly. A woman was standing next to me. She was beautiful. Her long white hair was to her feet. Her white skin had a glow. And her white eyes were looking right at me. "My daughter Kaya." I could hear her. "Yes, in here, you can hear and talk. Try it." I opened my mouth and thought about what I wanted to say. "Who are you?" It took me back to hear my voice. The women smiled. "You are in my home." I looked around. It was pure white. "I also frequent the land where all my children go when they die, you know, as the Garden, but this is actually where I live." "But who are you?" "I think you already know the answer." "You are the Goddess." "Yes I am, I am named Selen." I smiled. She had a name. "Do you know why I brought you here instead of the garden with the other wolves who died?" I just shook my head. "Well, I wanted to talk to you." "I wanted to thank you for uniting the North and the South. I always wanted you both to be friends.
CadeWe were running, and I felt it. Kaya was off the link. I tried to mind link her but she didn't respond I let out a roar that shook the trees near us. "Robert." I mind-linked. "Alpha, she is dead." "What happened?" "She, I had to cut the baby out, and she just died." I could feel his emotion over the link. What do I even do? She was gone. How had this happened? She was the strongest wolf I knew. I roared again. I was going to kill Howi, which would be long and drawn out. He had killed my mate. If she had been left alone, she would have been in a hospital. She would be in comfort snuggling our newborn. I didn't know if even the baby would survive. The north, though, was warmer now because of the season, but it would still be cold. There was still snow on the ground. I knew the rest of the pack felt that she had died, and Mark's mind linked me. "Cade." "What?" I yelled through the link while I continued to run. "I am sorry." I snapped my jaws at him. I would not hear about her. No
Kaya I landed just fine. The snow was so much deeper than I thought it would be at this time of the year. Not to mention, it was powder and not hard like ice or packed snow at all. It didn't seem natural. This had to be the Goddess's doing. She had to have made the ground better for falling into. I looked around and Saw Robert lying in the powder. I ran to him. He was lying there limp. I sniffed him. He was still breathing. He needed to be mended. I looked around frantically. There was not much around me. I saw some trees in the distance. There had to be something there. I used my snout to feel around until I felt blood on his shoulder. I used my paw to roll him and saw it went straight through. He would be okay. I didn't know why he was still asleep. They had to have given him something else besides shooting him. The wound was nasty but it could be mended. Maybe they had drugged him again while I was passed out. I tried to mind link, Cade. "Kaya, what is it?" "I was taken. I am, w
Kaya I woke up, and Robert was lounging in a chair. He looked like he had something on his mind. But he seemed like he always had stuff on his mind these days. I was sure it was because I was on bed rest. "Robert." I mind-linked him. "Can we go out to eat? You know the place by the river and eat outside. I want to go hiking, but I know I am supposed to be in bed and I don't think going out to eat counts as breaking the bed rest." "Luna, we need to stay home." My face fell. "Well, then, can I have some moose?" He nodded, and I followed him into the kitchen, where I immediately sat down. He pulled some out of the freeze, immediately put it in the sink, and turned on the water to defrost it. He sat down at the small table with me. "What is it?" I signed. He didn't respond, and I knew something was wrong. "Tell me," I commanded over the link. "Cade mind linked. Howi knows the pack is in the North. No one was there when they went to fight. Howi also knows you are not in the North and is
CadeWe had the spray made. There was so much made that everyone sprayed themselves down. Then, we decided to stagger our movement. So some left already with some deltas. Then another set went yesterday. Today, I was moving out. The people already in Howi's pack had started to set traps. When I got there, I would also set traps. It would take about two days until we were ready to set fires. It was a risk doing it in days as we could get caught. I knew Howi knew we were already coming. When he set his message, it told me he had eyes on us like we did for him. I tore through the woods, my wolf running at a steady pace. I had my bag attached to my back leg with clothes on it. We could not set the traps and fires in wolf form. But fighting we would need to do in wolf form if possible. We are more robust in that form. I ran all day. Stopping at night to rest, then getting up and running again. It was a two-day run to Daybreak pack. Howie had moved his pack to Jack's ho
CadeWe finalized everything. The plan was in motion. The woman who made the perfume had stayed behind with her mate; their oldest son had taken their youngest to the North. Both wanted to stay and fight for the pack. She had agreed to make a spay of skunk, and I, for one, was glad it was not me. I knew that was going to be a stinky job. Robert gave me a report on Kaya after they went to see the OBGYN. He had said she wanted to be left alone and was in a bad mood. But Robert gave me the rundown of what was said. I knew Kaya would be upset, and I wanted to comfort her. She should not be going through this without me. But we had a plan now. We had an idea of how to win. Once the scent was made and we could spray ourselves, we would move into position. It would be a process over days, but I was sure it would go fast once everything was in motion. But we would have to wait until the spray is ready. I hurried off to the training field. It was after lunch training session. T
