When I opened my eyes the light was streaming in through the windows and I was alone. Elijah’s bed was wonderfully comfortable and waking up here in his arms would have been almost perfect. Waking up alone here however wasn’t so great. I reached out to touch his side of the bed, it was cold and that made me feel sad. I let out a long sigh. I had never been in this position before. I was usually the one who cut out on my partner after a one night stand. None of them had been my mate though, I wouldn't have done that to my mate. Then again I couldn’t understand why he would mark me if he didn't want to be with me. “You are awake.” Elijah said, pulling me out of my train of thought. He was standing in the doorway holding a large tray. There were all different kinds of breakfast foods and drinks on it, there was also a single rose laid to one side. The sight of him holding that try made my heart flutter. “I didn’t want you to have to wake up alone.” He said pouting. “I am not goi
I don’t know how I managed to get away from Charlotte. One minute she was holding onto me and begging me to skip classes with her then she all of a sudden shook off her sadness and headed to her first lesson. I think it probably had something to do with Ryker being in her first lesson. Maybe that thought had suddenly occurred to her. If so she clearly thought that he would provide a better shoulder to cry on than I did. She was probably right, I could be sympathetic but I always seemed to end up saying the wrong thing. After that she probably followed him around all morning like some sort of lost puppy. He wouldn’t be happy about that, I am sure that I will get an earful from him about it later. It will be like the trip to the cottage all over again. Oh well, at least it got her away from me for a while. I tried to concentrate on my lessons but I found that my mind kept wandering. Something in the back of my head told me that the rogue situation was important. That if it was just
Felix parked the car out of sight of the road and a couple of miles away from the area where I saw all of the activity this morning. Well at least this is where I think the activity was. I am still getting the hang of using my powers and it isn’t exactly as though I see a map in my head showing me where people are. It is more like I can use the connection that I feel to the other members of the pack to get a feeling for where they are. I can tell what direction they are relative to me and approximately how far away they are. That was how I worked out where to look but it was also why I couldn’t be 100% sure that this was the right area. It is the right direction though, of that I am almost certain. “What are we looking for?” Felix asked as we all got out of the car. “I am not sure, anything unusual.” I said. “This whole thing seems like a waste of time to me.” Felix complained. He wasn’t as frustrated as he was when we set off. One the way over here he kept glancing at Ava i
The cinema was quiet, almost empty which meant we had our pick of seats. Ryker and I sat down in two of the seats near the centre of the room. Ava made her way to follow us until Felix wrapped his arms around her waist to stop her. “What are you doing?” She asked, her voice shrill and her eyes darted around the room in fear. She didn’t want anyone to see him with his arms around her. “I thought we could sit over there.” Felix said, pointing towards a quiet corner of the cinema. Ava’s gaze flickered over to where Felix was pointing before looking around the room nervously again. She tried to remove his arms from her waist but he just gripped her tighter. “I don’t think that is a good idea.” Ava said. “What is wrong, you are acting as though you are ashamed of being seen with me.” Felix asked, the hurt was clear on his face. “It’s not like that.” Ava said, her voice carried a note of panic in it. There were only a few other people in the cinema but they were all looking at us.
Elijah still had some pack business to deal with so he took me to his office. The room was set up with a separate desk for me. The desk hadn’t been here when he showed me around yesterday. I guess he must have set this up for me while I was meant to be at school. That made me feel even more guilty for sneaking out and upsetting him. I was about to take my place at my new desk but he insisted on me bringing the laptop and chair over to his desk. He got me to set up my laptop then shared with me a whole bunch of information about the pack and the various businesses his family owned. While I looked over all the information Elijah was replying to emails on pack business. I am sure that he would be done much faster if he typed with both his hands but he seemed very reluctant to let go of my hand. I guess he was still a little upset about me putting myself in a dangerous position earlier. It was a little extreme though, I wasn’t going anywhere and typing one handedly is annoying as fuck.
Elijah’s mom wanted to do some planning for my luna ceremony after dinner but Elijah said he needed me for something else. I think I have a good idea of what he was planning judging from his earlier thoughts and I couldn’t wait to see what he had decided.. Elijah pulled me into his room, pulling me against his body as he closed and locked the door behind us. He kissed my neck and ran his teeth across my mark until my pulse quickened and I could feel myself getting wet. “You have been a very naughty little mate. Are you ready for your punishment?” He asked. “Yes please.” I replied. I could feel the corners of his lips turning up against my neck. He had me exactly where he wanted me and he knew it. “You are eager, I like it.” He said. He kissed me once more on my neck before taking a step back. He removed his hands from my waist, he took my hands in his and pulled me over towards the bed. Once I was standing beside the bed he let go of my hands and took a couple of large steps
It’s going to be a while before I am used to having a mate. It feels like some alternate reality, I keep expecting to wake up from it at any moment and be back in my old room. Part of me doesn’t believe that I deserve anything so perfect. Elijah woke me up this morning by stroking my hair and planting soft kisses on my cheek. He was already dressed and ready for the day. He kissed me a few more times before he told me to get ready while he made us breakfast. When I got downstairs Elijah already had the food laid out on our kitchen table ready for us. While I was eating he got me to tell him everything I knew about my powers, which admittedly wasn’t much. When I told him that I could hear his thoughts I could see the panic on his face. His thoughts were all over the place, his panic was making them unfocused and I couldn’t keep up with them in the jumble. He was frowning. He didn’t look angry, just very unhappy. Maybe I should have told him sooner, this wasn’t good. My heart was ra
I heard Elijah’s heart rate quicken instantly as adrenaline flooded his system. He was glancing around anxiously. He was trying to listen for any sign of the approaching threat but he wouldn’t be able to hear anything yet. They were still too far away for that. “What do they want?” He asked. I tried to tap into my power, I reached out for them but there is something wrong. I am not sure if it is a problem with me or with them. It could just be that I am stressed or not fully in control of my powers yet but I can’t feel anything from them. I can tell where they are and that they are in human form but that is all. “I can’t tell, they are approaching in human form and they have the building surrounded.” I said. “Do we have time to run?” Elijah asked, I could practically taste his anxiety. “I don’t think so.” I said. They were closing in on the house quickly. Maybe if I hadn’t been so distracted I would have noticed their approach earlier and we could have run. Running now would on
