~Arian Storm~

When I finally held my Mate in my arms the next day, my heart was finally beating normally again. It was strange. Time passed way too quickly when she was with me, but when I was away from her, every second felt like years.

As expected, I didn't sleep last night. A few times I had to stop myself from just rushing towards her. But I did it.

I am all the happier to hold her in my arms now.

"I finally got you back. I couldn't turn a blind eye tonight without you." I mumbled into her silky hair, never wanting to let go.

"I felt the same way. It just had another reason.", she yawned completely exhausted against my chest. How cute.

Now I got curious. What reason did she have that had nothing to do with me? I should be the only thing she should think about when she can't sleep.

My answer was provided by Zara, who could hardly contain herself from laughing in Alex's embrace. "Yes, as loud as Elvira and Linus shagged."

"ZARA," Elvira shouted sharply. I looked up.

Elvira and Linus stood in awkward silence next to the car. Elvira had meanwhile taken on a red skin tone and Linus grinned stupidly, probably having had the Beta's sister in bed with his new acquisition.

I shouldn't have let that playboy go.

"You what?!" Sebastian broke away from Anna's embrace and walked towards Linus, distorted with anger. Something I didn't want to miss under any circumstances, but my mate yawned tiredly again.

“Why does there always have to be so much drama here. Can't we finally go to bed?" she mumbled, very sleepy and tired.

For her sake I agreed and picked her up bridal style to finally get into bed with her. It didn't bother me that the sun had just reached its highest point. It didn't matter. All that mattered was my mate in my arms. I could sleep with her anytime and anywhere, also in the other sense...

I took her to our room and laid her on our bed where I removed her clothes from her body.

Looking at them now made me want to take them. Have we ever tried bondage games in the past few months? I don't believe.

Lou was about to fall asleep, but I just couldn't hold myself. I found it extremely seductive to see her delivered in front of me. I grabbed her thighs and spread them apart only to sink my head between them.

It took a few seconds for Lou to realize what I was doing.

"Arian, not now ahh..." She moaned and her hands immediately grabbed my hair, which wasn't lying properly today anyway. My tongue worked magic on her pleasure bud meanwhile. Because she reared up and moaned.

"No, Ahhhharian." It was lovely how she moaned my name. That made me hard straight away.

I added a finger and sank it into her now wet cunt, making her moan again. I also worked on her clitoris by sucking on it. How I loved it when I made her moan.

The moans were suddenly mixed with sobs, so I immediately pulled back. What was the matter now?

I quickly stopped all my actions and faced my mate who was crying even more.

Have I done something wrong? Did I hurt her in any way? Please don't cry!

"Why are you crying babe?" I was turned off by her crying again, so I just took off my shirt and lay down next to her. She immediately snuggled into my chest but didn't stop crying.

What is she not telling me? Surely it wasn't because I wanted to satisfy her. I've done that so many times over the past few months, no matter what time of day. Even if it was the middle of the night and she actually wanted to sleep. The stimulus to satisfy her was always there.

"It's just..." she then sobbed loosely. "That I'm totally torn right now."

"Why?" I asked, gently patting her head.

"II-I h-had..." Another sob. "Yesterday I h-had preterm labor."

"WHAT? Why am I only finding out about it now?" I asked, totally upset. I would have liked to jump up, but I forced myself to lie quietly next to her. She's already explaining it to me...

"I-It wasn't too bad and can happen, Linus said." She continued to cry. "But I'm afraid that if we have sex so soon after that, it could trigger contractions again. Linus said I needed rest."

"He did a great job." I muttered to myself rather than her when I thought about him being the reason she couldn't sleep. "And why are you crying?"

That made her sob again. Oh please leave it all because of the hormones or because she is overtired.

"Because sex with you is so beautiful and I didn't want you to stop, but I think it's better when it comes to our puppy," she explained.

I smiled. Then suddenly I sat up so that I was lying on top of her. I moved my head down and this time stopped in front of my stomach.

"Listen up, little one..." I started talking to Lou's stomach. "You're already in there with no rent to pay, so you can let mommy and daddy enjoy their last few months without your screaming Plus, that's how you got in there in the first place, so please no more complaints!" I finished my speech.

"Arian!" Lou pulled me back up by the head and planted a chaste kiss on my lips. "Really, you can't tell a puppy that."

"Oh don't worry, he'll understand sooner or later."

Lou rolls her eyes. She still wanted a girl. The fact that I always said he got on her nerves, because in her opinion it could also be a girl.

She yawned and I flopped down next to her. Maybe sleep was more suitable for her after all. Yes, sleep sounded like a pretty good idea. I too was tired from last night.

-----

Towards evening she was still sound asleep in my arms, but now I was awake and thinking back to yesterday.

To the invitation from the Shadowlake pack

Alpha Maddox invited me to a meeting tonight. He wanted to meet me at midnight on the border between our pack territories. If I wanted to be on time, I had to go now. My territory ended up being huge, stretching far into the woods of Minnesota. Just to the border of the Shadowlake pack it was a bit further, while the Blackshadow pack, on the other side, was closer. But their alpha was friendly to us.

I looked again at my peacefully sleeping mate in my arms. Her mouth was parted as she inhaled and exhaled loudly, and sometimes even a low growl left her lips. It was sweet how peaceful she was in her sleep.

I carefully pulled away from her grip and stood up.

Should I wake her up?

No, it was better to let her sleep peacefully and unsuspectingly.

I will come back. I promise her that. If I'm good, even before sunrise. Then she wouldn't even know I was gone.

I'll take down that stupid Maddox alpha and we'll have one less thing to worry about.
