Chapter 10

~Time Lapse

We have had an increase in rogues in our territory. I hate to think it may have something to do with Timber being here because everyone knows not to come looking here for trouble. We are not called the strongest pack in the region for no reason.

I have had Andrew questioning every rogue that has come through our perimeters seeking answers with no prevail. Why are they here? What or better yet who do they want and are looking for? The only thing he gets out of them are either nothing or myths and stories we all know about the disappearance of the Alpha’s Royal daughter who bore the mark of power.

What if the myths were true? What if the stories were not mere stories at all? What if they had insight to who she really is and her true pack? These are the answers I am seeking. Answers I am needing. Not only for her but for myself.

I mind-linked Andrew. ‘Andrew, I want you to come to the cells with me to question the prisoners. I want to find out what they know about Timber.’ ‘Yes Alpha. When do you want to go?’ ‘Now!’ I snarled because I was annoyed with Bane. He has been bugging me about being with Timber ever since we kissed her in the kitchen.

He’s such a baby about getting his way. It can be rather frustrating at times. I left my office and met Andrew in front of the dungeon. We walked into each cell until someone, anyone spoke about anything that I deemed may be any kind of reasonable information.

I reached another cell with a foul-smelling male rogue. He looked like he had been either sleeping in and or rolling around in mud and his appearance was awful. “Why are you in my territory?”

I growled at him with impatience. He flinched and looked up at me. “We are looking for someone.” He said frightened as he shook and stuttered. “WHO!” I said in my Alpha voice which then made the ground shake beneath.

“I don’t know exactly. But it’s a she-wolf who doesn’t fit in anywhere. An orphan. We heard she was sent to your pack and we have been sent to find her.” Now cowering in the corner. Could this be my Timber they are searching for? She’s the only orphan I know and is now in my pack. Was this why the Prairie pack couldn’t wait to get rid of her?

“Not that she’s here, but What do you want with her?” I sneered at him. “She’s said to be of special Alpha blood and to hold the mark of the Elders and Royals. She’s to have the power to unite and tear down kingdoms with a single command.” The myths and stories must be true. She is here and has the resembled mark he speaks of.

“You are speaking of mere myths and stories and I’m not going to ask again. What do you want with her!” This time more angered having to ask again. Even Andrew stepped back when I said this. The rogue seeing him backing up made his eyes widen and fear took over him even more.

“My leader wants to mate with her so he can become the most powerful Alpha over all kingdoms. He believes as soon as he does, he will become an Alpha automatically and her blood will transfer her power to him.” He said in one breath as if he didn’t say it fast enough, he would be dead.

With that my eyes turned almost black green and Bane was angered that someone wanted his mate. He lifted him off the ground and growled “MINE!” and threw him so hard against the cell wall his neck and back broke before hitting the ground. Still being in charge, Bane growled “kill them all!” while sprinting out of the cell going to find his mate.

I immediately shifted after I stepped out of the dungeons and ran as fast as I could to the house in anticipation, I will find her there. I shifted back as soon as I reached the door breathing heavily and could smell strawberries and ginger. She was there. Bane started to calm with just the whiff of her scent.

I walked up to her, with Bane still in control, “mine.” I whispered in her ear and she turned around in time for me to plant my lips on hers. With my hands on her waist pulled her closer to me. So, close I could feel her heartbeat on my chest. Her warmth on my body.

She welcomed my kiss with an accepted entrance into her mouth. She put her hands around my neck and moaned with delight.

With that one action I picked her up bridal style, still kissing her and carried her up the stairs to my bedroom on the fourth floor. With great speed we made it up there in seconds with Bane still trying to stay in control.

I closed the door behind me with my foot, still kissing her. I laid her on the bed staring into her beautiful eyes. “You are beautiful.” I said still kissing her. First her lips then down her jaw line. Kissing, sucking, licking her. Tasting her. I stopped and looked up at her as I panted for air.

“I want you. I want you as my mate if you’d have me.” I said with so much desire “Yes. Yes, Alpha Jonathon. Yes, I want you too” she whispered with so much desire and love in her eyes and voice. With that one comment I took her mouth again, harder with all the passion, lust and love I had for her.

She moaned in my mouth and I caressed her body with my hands. I placed my hands under her shirt starting at her waist tracing her silky skin up to her bra. I rubbed my thumbs over her tender nipples through her bra and she gasped for air in a gentle moan.

I lifted her shirt off as I continued to kiss her body. I move up her collarbone kissing and licking her neck continuing up until I reach her mouth again. She placed her hands under my shirt feeling my strong and defined abs and chest gently with her fingertips before removing my shirt completely.

She leans forward as she lifts, kissing my chest and neck before I stand to take off my pants leaving me in only my boxers. Her eyes widen as she sees my excitement and longing for her through them. I leaned back down halfway and placed my fingertips into the band of her shorts and ripped them off of her.

She gasps with excitement. Wiggling beneath me. Making me want her more. She sits up to kiss me and I take my chance to undo her bra and toss it to the floor. She leans back to give me full access to her. Kissing, licking, sucking her neck, collar bone, breasts.

Teasing one breast with my mouth while caressing the other with my hand. She pulls me closer as she moans with delight and Bane goes crazy for her. I pulled off my boxers with what seemed like one movement and stared at her beauty for a moment.

With her hands she pulled me by the back of my head onto her kissing me again. I moved her legs open with my body and slid in between her. She moaned and gasped at the feel of my love pulsating next to her opening. “Johnathon.” She whispered. “I’m a...” “I know baby, I’ll be gentle.” I said in her mouth trying to be encouraging.

I pushed into her quickly and stayed there for a moment kissing her deeply to ease the pain. I wiped her cheek with my thumb as a tear left her eye running down her cheek. “you ok?” She nodded for me to go on and with gentle thrusts I moved into her. Kissing, sucking, and nibbling on her neck and jawline.

When she arched her back up, Bane howled with excitement and I thrusted harder and deeper. With every moan and whimper she gave made me feel her more. Push more. Thrust into her more. She started raking her claws into my back which made it worse for Bane wanting to take over to make love to her too. Faster. Harder. Harder. Faster. More urgently I needed to feel her. Taste her. Feel all of her.

I leaned into her where her mark would be licking and kissing the soft part of her neck. Right before she was to climax, I thrust hard into her and slid my canines into her skin at the same time.

She whimpered at first in pain then moaned with delight and screamed as she released her juices on me. I licked her neck where I had just marked her making it heal quicker. Moaning and breathing I feel her body start to shake with ecstasy. She holds onto me tighter pulling me closer and further into her.

Wrapping her legs around my waist. Tighter she hugged me with her legs pulling me closer to her. Kissing my jaw, chewing on it gently with her canines. She moved to my neck with her tongue still kissing, chewing, taunting me with her movements and obvious wanting and passionate desire. Right before I let my seed spill into her, I felt her canines go into my neck; the soft spot where I was previously marked.

The feel of her canines and kisses on my old mate mark was like none I had ever felt before. Not even with my first mate. It was. Indescribable. More than tingling. More than desire. It was like all my nerve endings met at that one place just to feel her. Like a sensation of explosive euphoria.

With that euphoric sensation she gave me with her marking, I thrust harder into her, spilling myself into her beautifulness just as she licked the new mark, she had given me, helping it heal… smiling. I could not help but growl and moan in pure ecstasy. I laid there on top of her for a moment resting myself on my elbows to not crush her, still filling her with myself.

Looking intently into her eyes. My forehead resting on hers. We smiled at each other and I kissed her again. Slowly and passionately before laying down next to her releasing her from my internal caress. Both of us sweaty from our bedroom acrobatics. Bane whimpering from the sudden loss of that touch and oneness with her.

As she rolled over with slightly closed eyes, Timber laid her head on my shoulder and began to trace small circles with her fingertips on my chest making Bane happy again. I traced the same small circles on the small of her back with my own and we laid there quietly enjoying each other’s embrace.

Me, smiling in adoration and love then said, “I love you Timber” with her responding “I love you too Johnathon.” I was overjoyed that I was allowed a second mate. I thank you moon goddess for this gift.

With that I closed my eyes and fell asleep. I could not help but smile with joy as I did. My life is now complete again with her by my side. And nothing, will take it away from me again. Bane growling lowly in agreeance about his new mate.
