AELA'S POV
I felt like I was drifting on a liquid surface, then it seemed to turn into cotton but the good thing was it smelled like Chocolate and Pine, like Troy. Slowly, I came to the surface, opening my eyes from deep sleep.
I blinked trying to adjust, arms were wrapped around me and back was against Troy's hard chest. I enjoyed the warmth, his calming scent and snuggled even closer. My skin felt hot but the parts that touched his body seemed to cool a bit.
We need our mate .... My wolf whined
Calm down... I closed our link
"You're awake" Troy whispered
I turned in his direction resting on him "You look stressed" I observed touching his jaw
"I was worried. You've been asleep since yesterday." He looked upset "I thought I lost you...I almost did"
Memories seemed to flood like a broken dam as I recalled what happened.
I wanted to go for a walk alone within the territory, I ended up at a river and took a spot by a rock when suddenly I was hit with a wave of pain and my body felt unbearably hot. It felt like I was on fire, I went into the water trying to cool my skin but it did nothing to pacify the fire that threatened to burn me from the inside out. I crawled out of the water lying on the ground and was hit with multiple waves of pain.
I heard a twig snap making me turn trying to locate the source. A rogue appeared from behind a tree snarling at me, I asked my wolf for strength as I shifted and let her take control. The rogue lunged at me and I dodged, snarls filled the air as we collided this time with both of us swiping paws at each other. soon I had tackled the wolf but I felt a sting in my neck, my wolf shook her head before dropping to the ground. A bald man dressed in black revealed himself as he held a tranquilizer gun.
Troy....I did my best to call out in my mind hoping he'd hear me as another wave of pain crashed down on me and we lay on the ground. The wolf I fought earlier seemed more agitated and was baring his teeth at me but the strange man seemed to have power over this rogue as he rebuked the restless rogue
"You're in heat aren't you? I see" he chuckled removing the dart from my neck
Another rogue joined and I was dragged across the river leaving the territory, with the bald man leading. I knew the river would wash away my scent and Troy wouldn't be able to track me.
When we had crossed to the other side I felt the bond thrum, Troy was close! As if injected with a dose of adrenaline, I savagely claw my way out from my abductor's grip as I took the one of the rogues down and dodged the other. I felt a familiar sting in my neck as I ran back towards the river
"Let her go" I heard the bald man say to them
I didn't look back as I jumped into the river, struggling to get to the other side as my limbs slowly turned into jelly. I felt my body drag against the edge of The river but I couldn't move and slowly my eyes closed.
Troy took deep breaths as I told him what happened
"I'm so sorry. I should've gotten there sooner"
I was shocked "Don't do that. It was mine, I shouldn't have wandered off alone"
"Your heat started, I couldn't imagine another wolf touching you" He clenched his fists so tightly I was sure he'd bleed if he added more pressure. "You're so strong, most times I think I don't deserve you"
"I'm all yours my Alpha" I kissed his neck and watched him stiffen in surprise.
The heat began to grow within me and my body yearned his touch. He removed his arms from me and the invisible fire seemed to dance on my skin more excitedly. A wave of pain accompanied the burning sensation as I tried not to cry out.
"Aela" said Troy darkly "I could get the pack doctor if you want"
I shook my head immediately "you make it better" I pressed closer and kissed him deeply, rubbing my body against him
"I don't want to rush you love." He said
"I want you" I growled gripping his shirt, I had lost it, my body ached, all I wanted was him.
"Are you sure?" He asked softly
My wolf was excited now, and I could feel her howling in my mind in anticipation.
I nodded as he claimed my lips and used his finger to stroke my clit, a shiver ran down my spine as he released my lips and instead licked his mark on my neck. Jolts of electricity shook my frame as he made contact with the mark, I moaned softly.
Impatiently, he ripped the shirt I was wearing and latched onto my nipples, sucking them making me squirm. His head went between my legs and his tongue teased my core to undeniable wetness, as I shuddered
'Troy' I whispered 'Please'. My heart was racing now, but the heat was unbearable, I needed him.
I felt his hard length poke my entrance hesitantly 'My love, are you sure?'
'Just do it' I almost yelled and he drove into me. My eyes rolled at the strange sensation, it hurt at first but it soon turned into indescribable pleasure. My arms were wrapped around him, as he continued to thrust into me, making me moan. His lips were back on my mark which only intensified the already consuming feeling of euphoria. A tingle ran down my spine as I pressed harder into him, I was definitely going to climax soon.
He pulled away from me and I almost whined in protest. His hands cupped my breasts as he kissed them, he trailed kisses down my body before sliding into me again but this time with more force. The building pleasure was back again and threatened to push me over the edge, my legs were wrapped tightly around him. Like a magnetic pull my lips were on his neck and I heard him groan in approval as his pace seemed to increase.
A wave of orgasm washed over me as i screamed in delirious pleasure and in a second, my canines pierced the soft skin on his neck, marking him as mine. I felt the mate bond thrum strongly and it felt like two pieces suddenly joined together perfectly.
'Aela' Troy breathed out harshly going even faster and harder. He gave a few more thrusts which felt way deeper than others then I felt my insides being coated in warm fluid.
We both lay breathless on the bed as he stroked my cheek and pulled me closer to him.
I told you...Yipped my wolf as she lay content
Stupid wolf, happy now?
Most definitely
I rolled my eyes at her response
Are you okay my love? ... Troy's voice said in my head
My eyes widened, we could now mindlink each other
...I forgot about this part I smiled at him
I was a bit worried about how you'd react after....
'I'm fine Troy. I don't regret anything' I said out loud inching closer to him
'You're so beautiful' he said before kissing me passionately.
I fell asleep content with being in my mate's arms, wishing it wouldn't end.
