Chapter 16

Henry King (Noah's father)

'Thank god' I thought to myself when I woke up and didn't feel any pain or uncomfortable heat.

After three painful days, my heat has finally stopped. Well for the time being anyways.

I'm actually kind of surprised at how well Noah and his wolf controlled their urges and looked after me instead of focusing on finishing the mating process like other males would've done.

I'm extremely thankful for the way they took care of me.
He had stayed home with me and never left my side, always keeping some type of physical contact so it would ease the pain.
He had made several cold baths for me and washed me himself because I was too weak to do so, all the while controlling his needs.

I have to repay him some way and I plan to soon, when I think of something.

After the incident with the Beta, Noah kicked him and my dad off the land, threatening that if they came back there'll be war.

I felt him stir beside me so I turned to face him and caught his gaze as he opened his eyes.

"Morning beautiful" he smiled lazily and kissed my forehead.
"Morning" I smiled.

(AN: reminder, italics=mindlink)

"Feeling better?" He asked as he sat up, taking me with him and he wrapped his arms around me, my head on his chest.
"Much better. The heat is gone" I replied happily.

"That's good sweetheart" he said and kissed my head.
"Thank you for taking care of me and for waiting" I said as I looked up at him, smiling thankfully.

"I will wait as long as you need Lily, I never want you to feel pressured or uncomfortable" he said with a frown.

"Go get ready, I'll start on breakfast" I told him with a smile before skipping out of the room.

I entered the kitchen and began cooking his favourite breakfast, waffles, French toast and fruits; its become my favourite too.
I was humming a random tone and I swayed my hips to the beat when a set of arms wrapped around my waist.

I squealed and nearly knocked the pan off of the hob.
"Noah! You scared the crap out of me" I yelled at him.

"Sorry sweetheart" he chuckled " but with you swaying you hips like that while in only my shirt, I couldn't resist" he whispered in my ear, his breath tickling it causing me to shiver.

I looked down and realised I was in one of Noah's light blue button downs, with only my underwear underneath.

I turned a deep red and felt him shake behind me as he chuckled.

I hit his arm the spatula and told him to sit down while I set up our plates.
I placed four waffles and three pieces of French toast along with fresh fruit on his plate and put two waffles and one piece of French toast on mine, along with fruit.

"Your breakfast sir" I said to him, failing terribly at a posh British accent but I didn't care because I made him laugh.

"Why thank you my lady" he said back, also failing at the accent causing me to laugh.
I grabbed the cream from the fridge and poured some on mine then put heaps on his.
