Chapter 34: Theo

I was practically vibrating with excitement as I filed the paperwork away in my office safe. My meeting had gone smoothly. Not that I had expected it not to. It was in situations like these that the advantage of being the Alpha didn’t make me feel guilty. I was smiling from ear to ear as I shut the safe and my phone rang.

My smile faltered when I saw Maggie’s name on the screen.

“Maggie, what’s up?” I answered quickly.

“Alpha, we have a problem,” she replied urgently. “We’re on our way back. Luna has gone into heat.”

Kieran shot to the front of my mind. He had been a little restless today, but I thought it was his own excitement about the closing. Then I heard Ayla cry out in the background and I shot out of my chair.

“How far away are you? How long has she been like this?”

“It came on really fast, Alpha,” Maggie said worriedly. “We’re ten minutes out, but sir, I don’t think we’ll make it through the packhouse. Her scent is really potent.”

Fuck.

I was down the hall and taking the stairs two by two. I wouldn’t have time to clear out the packhouse at this time of the day.

“The grey house nearest the packhouse is empty,” I said. “Meet me there.”

I ran down the street to the empty house. We kept these homes fully

furnished when they were in between residents. We would use them for ranking members of other packs when they came to visit. I hadn’t had time to get the key, so I punched in the garage code to let myself in. I mind–linked to Jimmy what was going on. With Briggs still on his honeymoon for another day, he would really have to step up.

I got inside the house and turned the air conditioner to the max. Both of our temperatures would be extremely high soon enough. Kieran was practically bouncing in anticipation. I was worried about the pain Ayla was experiencing so soon after her heat set in, but knowing Kieran and I were the only ones who could make it right was exhilarating. I knew Ayla was almost here as I felt my body preparing for this experience.

I heard the car pull into the garage and I rushed out. Ayla was already getting out but hunched over as she cried out in pain. I ran toward her, but our scents overwhelmed each other, and she launched herself into my arms. Her mouth slammed into mine as her legs wrapped tightly around my waist. I growled as I held her, pushing myself to keep my head for a few more minutes. I had to get her inside.

“Theo,” Ayla gasped as she tore at my clothing, “it hurts. I need you.”

“I know, baby,” I assured her. “I’m here.”

She was grinding her hips hard against me with a heavy groan, desperate for relief as her arousal engulfed me. She was making it hard to hold her. I pressed her against a wall, prying her legs off. The sound of tearing fabric filled the hall as I ripped her leggings away. She was too far gone and needed quick relief. My hand dove between her legs and she cried out.

“Theo,” she whimpered, her fingers digging into my shoulders as I worked her clit.

“I’m going to take care of you, baby,” I said through gritted teeth.

I pushed Kieran back so I could maintain my last bit of control. He was practically foaming at the mouth, wanting me to bury myself deep inside her. We’d get there. But I would make sure she wasn’t in pain first.

Ayla quickly fell apart on my hand, trembling in my arms as I held her up. It wouldn’t be enough for long, but the waves of pain would subside. Her hand darted between us, undoing my belt and jeans feverishly.

“More,” she whined, reaching beneath my waistband.

I pushed her hand away and dipped an arm behind her knees. I stifled her protests with a kiss as I carried her to the bedroom. I laid her on the bed and removed her shirt and bra. I pulled away to remove the rest of my clothing. My eyes landed on hers and I nearly lost my mind. The lust and hunger in her eyes were consuming.

She stood back up, helping me undress as she kissed and licked along my chest. She spun around as I reached for her, rubbing her ass eagerly against my hard, aching c***. A rumble thundered in my chest, my hand digging into her hair and gripping hard. I pushed her forward over the bed. She pulled her knees up onto the mattress, lifting her hips into the air as her hand went between her legs to her clit. I growled, pushing her fingers away to replace them with mine.

She moaned, rocking back against me. “I need more, Theo.”

I rammed into her, filling her up to the hilt. I groaned loudly as sparks of electricity tingled through every nerve ending. Ayla swiveled her hips, begging me to give her what she needed. I gripped her hips as I thrust into her fast and rough. She screamed as another orgasm quickly hit her, but I didn’t stop. I fought my own release, knowing the more pleasure I could give her, the longer I could stave off the pain of her heat.

I switched positions, pulling her up against my chest. I kissed her neck as my hand reached around to massage her breast, tweaking her taught nipple between my fingers. I buried my face in her neck as I continued my onslaught, feeling her walls tighten around me again. Feeling her convulse against me, my jaw clenched. I wouldn’t be able to hold back much longer.

I threw her on the bed, flipping her onto her back. Resting her ankles on my shoulders, I kissed up her body. I took her breast in my mouth, swirling my tongue over the sensitive peak, then the other. Ayla arched her back as her fingers laced through my hair. Moving up, I took her mouth. sliding my length between her folds, making my mate moan beneath me.

I slipped into her again as my body shook with my need for release. The effect of her heat was taking over and my control snapped. I plowed into her. It felt as if I was going deeper with every thrust. My lower back tingled as my balls contracted. Ayla tightened around me again. I roared as we exploded together. Her whole body shaking violently as I filled her with everything I had.

Chapter 35: Theo

I collapsed onto the mattress. I pulled Ayla against me, holding her tightly as we both struggled to steady our ragged breathing. We would be okay for a while now so our bodies could rest and replenish. When my mind finally began to clear, a wave of happiness washed through me. It was sheer and utter happiness that had my heart practically bursting from my chest.

Ayla giggled in my arms.

“It was pretty incredible for me, too,” she murmured against my chest.

She would have felt my joy through our connection. I supposed part of that was me feeling hers as well. At least, I hoped that it was. I grinned against her hair.

“You know it’s not just about the sex, right?” I asked. “Although, experiencing a she–wolf’s heat for the first time definitely lived up to the expectations.”

She looked up at me curiously. “You mean the first heat since being mated?”

“Nope,” I chuckled. “I’ve never seen any other she–wolf through her heat.”

“But…”

“It was my biggest rule,” I told her. “It didn’t matter if we were dating. I told them they should have someone else ready to get them through should it happen.”

“Why?” she asked, still seeming surprised.

“Because that experience is yours.” I shrugged as my fingers played with her hair. “Our heat is meant for mates. I know she–wolves have no control over it, but as a male, I did. I never wanted to experience that with anyone but you.”

Ayla cupped my cheek and leaned in to kiss me firmly and lovingly. This was one of the proudest moments of my life. While most males felt seeing a she–wolf through her heat was a favor, albeit a very enjoyable one, it was never a temptation for me. I couldn’t risk a pregnancy. Children produced outside the mate bond weren’t common, but it did happen. Being the future Alpha, I couldn’t let that happen. Knowing that was a possibility and taking that chance felt hugely disrespectful to my future mate. I never wanted to take that from her

“Any regrets on that choice?” Ayla asked with a wicked grin.

“Absolutely not,” I insisted, burying my face in her neck and nipping at

her mark.

She laughed beneath me, pushing me away. “So, is that why you’re so happy?”

“That’s part of it, yes,” I said.

I shifted our position, pushing Ayla to her back as I kissed down her chest. I stopped at her stomach, inhaling deeply as I rested my head there, my arms holding her waist. Her fingers trailed through my hair, sending me into an even more relaxed state.

“You know it may not happen this time,” she said gently. “It doesn’t always take during the first heat.”

I smiled knowing she was also thinking about whether we just made a pup or not. Not that we didn’t have a few more days to keep trying.

“That’s okay,” I assured her. “It just feels like such a real possibility

now.”

I wanted so badly to tell her what I had done that morning. It was even harder to hold back now. But it wasn’t time yet. Soon. I just had to wait a little while longer. I started to drift off, thinking about what our future would look like, when Ayla’s stomach growled loudly in my ear. I laughed, lifting up to look at her.

“I guess I should be more worried about taking care of my mate first,” I said, moving up to kiss her.

“Let’s head to the café,” she said. “Annabelle said she was making her beef wellington, and I could eat the entire thing right now.”

I chuckled and shook my head. “Sorry, babe, we’re not going anywhere. We’re stuck here for the next few days until your heat passes.” I brushed her hair away from her face. “But I’ll tell you what. Jimmy is bringing some groceries by anyway. I’ll have him drop by the packhouse café and pick some up for you.”

Ayla looked around the room like she was finally registering where we

were.

“Yeah, um, where is here, by the way?” she asked shyly. “I wasn’t exactly paying much attention to my surroundings earlier.”

“No, I wouldn’t think so.” I smiled. “This is one of the family houses near the packhouse. There was no f***ing way I was traipsing you through a packhouse full of unmated males in the state you were in 1 picked the closest place we could have immediate privacy”

Alya made a face as she thought about the events of the last two hours.

“Good thinking,” she stated. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

I laughed as I kissed her again. I started to deepen the kiss just as her

stomach growled again. I grunted as I pulled away.

“I’ll go raid the cabinets,” I told her. “There may be something still stocked up. I’ll make something to tide you over until Jimmy delivers.”

I kissed her again and she snaked her arms around my neck.

“Or… you could just distract me until then.”

Her lips trailed along my jaw, creating a distraction of her own. I breathed deeply. This wasn’t a result of her heat, just my beautiful mate being insatiable.

“As tempting as that sounds, love,” I groaned, “we need to get you fed. We don’t know how long we’ll have before the next wave. And it’s only going to get more consistent from here. There’s no way I’ll be able to hold out that long again.”

And I wouldn’t. I managed the first time because her pheromones hadn‘ t fully begun to affect me yet. That ship had sailed now. I’d probably know when the next wave hit before she did.

I dragged myself off the bed and pulled the covers down to cover Ayla before slipping my boxers back on. She sat up and looked around the

room.

“Someone’s going to have to bring me something to wear, too,” she

said.

“Why?” I looked back at her with a mischievous grin. “I’m not planning on letting you wear anything for the next few days.”
