CHAPTER 7
Over the past two months Daniel and I have became pretty close; As long as I overlook the whole “I’m sexy and I know it” attitude. Stretching my aching legs out in front of me I sighed and put my head on Daniels shoulder.
“Tired today?”
“Yeah, couldn’t we have like an easy day?”
Looking over at me and smirking he shook his head
“There is no going easy when it comes to fighting. You know that buttercup, if you were fighting with a rogue or a hunter, would you stop and ask them to go easy on you?”
Sighing I knew he was right, I was just to out of shape.
“I suppose not”
Standing up I stretched again and held my hand out for Daniel to take to bring him up with me.
“I’ll see ya tomorrow morning babe, got a hot date tonight” winking at me he turned to leave the gym
“That’s funny I never agreed to go on a date with you” laughing I started to make my way to the change rooms. The hot shower was calling my name.
“Ha! You will one day babe, but for now I suppose I’ll settle” Winking he left the gym.
Slowly peeling my clothes off and jumping in the shower I let the hot water numb my burning muscles. I can’t believe how fast time was flying now. It’s been 2 months I’ve been away from my old pack. My body has started to transform into the strong wolf I knew I could be. I haven’t talked to Jake in a month, he calls every day but I know it for the best not to answer. His intentions are not the same as mine. Hopefully when he meets his mate, we can go back to how we were, best friends.
Grabbing the shampoo from the side I started to lather it into my long brown and blonde streaked hair. Mr. Green eyes started to make his way into my thoughts again, just like every day. Smiling to myself I thought about his soft side. I asked around the pack to see if I could slyly get some more information about him. Seems he’s an asshole, which I already knew. Nobody could really give me any information; he joined my uncle’s pack 4 years ago and has never spoken of a family or a mate. He came onto Uncle Bernie’s lands, beaten bloody and bruised. Nobody knew what happened to him or his old pack- if he even had one – but if I knew my uncle he wouldn’t let just anybody join. He would know, and I was going to find out. I did manage to find out one thing about him, his name was Blake Reed. Hunky Mr. Green eyes Blake. It suited him.
Grabbing my towel and drying off I got dressed and made my way to my uncle’s office. Knocking on his office door I waited for him to tell me to come in.
“Hi Uncle Bernie! What are ya up to?”
Looking up from his mountain of paper work he smiled at me.
“Heya Bug, just catching up on some pack business, what brings you in here?”
“Couldn’t I just come into see how my absolutely most favorite uncle is doing?”
Grabbing a seat on the chair in front of his desk, I made myself comfortable by throwing my feet up on the other chair.
“Eryn, I’m your only uncle. What do you want?”
Well then, mines well just get to it.
“Okay, I was just wondering about um Blake. Like what’s his story? He’s the only person here that is like a stranger, but not only to me but everyone! “
His eyes crinkled as he smiled a knowing smile. His crow’s feet very prominent I never really noticed, but my Uncle was aging.
“Ah, I see Blake. I noticed you two were starting to become close.”
I couldn’t help the snort that came out. Close? Ya right.
“I wouldn’t exactly say were close, just… two acquaintances”
“Eryn, don’t think it has gone unnoticed how every night you and Blake are on the patio. I do believe I saw him holding you the other night. I’d say that’s close? No?”
Cringing I closed my eyes. My uncle had the wrong idea.
Blake and I were watching the sunset again like every night. I was trying to pry information out of him but he would just grunt at me. I started to feel an annoying pain in my chest, one that I was accustomed to. It meant Will was with another female, probably Leanne. I tried not to let it bother me but suddenly the pain turned unbearable. I gasped, clutching my heart; it felt like fire seeping all over my chest. The heat went down my stomach to my legs and I dropped from the chair. I felt Blake’s arms go around me, holding me on his lap I tried to wither out of it I needed to shift to run Rosie would make it better. I couldn’t scream or cry, I started to claw at my chest I wanted to rip my heart out, it would hurt so much less then this! Finally the pain subsided, like it was ice on the fire slowly putting it out, numbing me. Opening my eyes the first thing i seen was Blake, his expression unreadable. I didn’t realize I was crying until I noticed the huge wet spot on his shirt.
“What the hell was that?” His gruff voice made my eyes snap to his
I didn’t have the energy to think of a lie, still clutching my chest I sighed and looked towards the sunset. In a low whisper I said
“Will completed the mating process with somebody else.”
I felt his eyes on me, but I didn’t turn to look at him.
“Who’s Will?”
In a sad whisper, I couldn’t help the pain that came out with my voice,
“My mate, well I mean my ex-mate”
Turning to look at him again I expected to see sympathy, instead as usual when it comes to Blake I was surprised. His eyes held rage and anger. Smiling a sad smile at him I patted his arm and went to stand up, He tightened his hold on me, locking me where I sat. I looked into his eyes questionably and he smiled at me while shrugging his shoulders.
“Just watch the sunset”
I turned back around, getting comfortable. I rested my head on his shoulder, his musky scent covered me, it was so comforting. His chin rested on top my head. His finger was making small circles on my stomach and I couldn’t help but smile, it felt so good to be held. His other hand came to rest on my hand, and he slowly intertwined my fingers with his. I couldn’t help but notice that they were a perfect fit. I felt his nose in my hair as he breathed in deep. His chest vibrated with what sounded like a satisfied growl. We didn’t say anything more to each other; we just sat there, with him holding me watching the sunset. As the last of the sun rays dipped into the earth I turned into his neck smiling.
“Thank you”
His head dipped down and he gently kissed my forehead
“You’re welcome Eryn”
Patting his arm I stood up and made my way inside to head to bed.
“Eryn? You okay?”
My uncle’s voice snapped me back to reality
“Um yeah, Uncle Bernie, Blake wasn’t holding me, well he was but not like how your thinking.” Resting my eyes on the floor I took a deep breath
“Will, my mate he- he completed the mating bond with somebody else. Blake helped me through the pain”
Looking back up into Bernie’s eyes I knew I would see sympathy. I hated it.
“I’m so sorry Eryn, I had no idea. Will? He is the alpha right?”
Nodding my head I waited for him to continue
“I see, well he’s a shit head Eryn. “
That made me smile.
He got up from his chair and walked over to where I was sitting, placing a hand on my shoulder he squeezed gently.
“You are a Jay Eryn, you are strong and powerful. It is in our blood, you will get through this and I will help in every way I can. With Blake, well he has had an awful past. But it is his story to tell not mine, which is the same thing I told him when he came in here asking questions about you”
I looked up at him in surprise; Blake wanted to know about me? I looked up at my uncle expecting him to give some sort of explanation, but he just smiled, shrugged his shoulders and left. I couldn’t help the smile that was plastered on my face; Blake wanted to know about me!
“Rosie? Did you hear that? Blake wanted to know about us!”
Heading to the kitchen I ran right into Blake. I couldn’t help the smile that came onto my face. ..again.
“What are you smiling at?”
“Oh, nothing, nothing at all Blake”
Scooting past him I made my way to the fridge to pull out some sandwich meat. Bending all the way down to grab the mayonnaise I heard a growl echo through the kitchen. Whipping around, Blake was standing in the doorway, eyes closed breathing hard. Smirking at him I said in a sing song way
“If you can’t control your wolf, I’d suggest you stop looking at my ass”
Finishing up my sandwich I opened the fridge, bending all the down, I put everything away. I knew exactly what I was doing. As I shut the door Blake’s hands latched onto my hips, his breath on my neck giving me Goosebumps. His hands found their way under my T-shirt, rubbing my stomach. His husky grunts sent chills down my spine. His lips were giving me feather light kisses on my neck it felt so good I arched into him. I felt how excited he was and it made me moan. I didn’t feel in control of my body anymore, it was reacting on its own accord. I ground my ass into his front, his hands tightened around my stomach. He growled, whipping me around he picked me up and placed me- rather roughly- on the counter. His hands grabbed my thighs and spread them apart, stepping into my V I wrapped my legs around his waist. His eyes were dark, almost black. I could see the swirls of lust in them, I know mine mirrored his. He grabbed my waist and planted his lips onto mine. They were velvet soft; I knew kissing him would be great, I didn’t think it would be this great. My control was slipping and as soon as I heard him growl I lost it. I moaned into his mouth. Wrapping my arms around his neck I tugged his hair hard. His hands moved onto my thighs and lifted me up. Still not breaking the kiss he moved his hands onto my ass and squeezed. I felt my back hit the wall, my legs tightened even more around his waist. His mouth left mine, as he started to kiss down my neck his hands started to explore up my chest. As his hand cupped my breast I let out a loud moan. Instantly his mouth was back on mine, tongue darting into my mouth. I was positive this was heaven; it had to be.
“Woah, uh sorry guys”
Instantly Blake and I broke apart. I could feel my face heating up. My lips swollen and red, Blake's hands were still on my waist; thankfully my bra was still on.
“Leave, Now. “
Blake's voice was husky and deep. He left no room for questions. Looking into his eyes I could tell he was struggling with his wolf. I tried to unravel my legs from around his waist but he wasn’t having it. Looking over at the girl that interrupted us I could tell she was just as embarrassed as me.
“Uh, ya uh sure I’m just going to um, put my plate here and yeah”
Watching her leave I sighed, now everyone is going to think I’m some floozy. Getting it on in the kitchen, oh god what was I thinking?
Blakes hands loosened around my waist and he slowly put me back on the ground. Not meeting his eyes I bent down to grab my shirt off the floor.
“That can’t happen again, I – I don’t know what came over me. I’m – I’m sorry”
His voice was strained; I could still clearly see how much our little make out session affected him. Looking into his eyes I nodded. I was still at a loss for words. He lifted his hand to scratch the back of his neck, looking at me one last time he walked out of the kitchen. I breathed in hard, it’s like I could finally function again when he left. His presence is intoxicating.
“Rosie? Did – did that just happen?”
Her only response was a purr. Shaking my head I turned around to grab my forgotten sandwich that was on the counter. Trying to calm my heart rate I went to take a bite. The kitchen door slammed open making me jump. I didn’t have time to turn around; suddenly Blake’s lips were on mine… again. His kiss was long and hard. I didn’t completely register what was happening until he took a step back; smiling.
“Sorry, I just- I had to”
I must have looked like a fish. Standing there eyes wide mouth hanging open. He smiled at me once more then turned to leave.
What … the … hell… just happened?
Making my way up to me bedroom I couldn’t keep the smile off my face.
