Chapter 98: Finding Balance

#Chaptér 98: Finding Balance

Right before finals my freshman year, I receive the dreaded call. “It’s Michael,” Alex says. His breathing is loud, erratic. “He passed away last night.”

Of course, there’s nothing I can do over the phone. I borrow Hailey’s car and leave that very night.

When I get there, it is after dark and Alex is at Michael’s house, sitting in the kitchen with Rita. When I walk in, it’s quiet. They’re not talking or doing anything aside from staring at the table.

They look up at me and I see their sorrow. I run over to Alex and wrap my arms around him, absorbing his sobs of mourning as I cry into his shoulder.

I hear Rita sniffle; and I let go long enough to cross the table and give her a hug. “I’m so sorry!” I whisper into her ear. “I’m so sorry..

”

That night is when Alex and I take our physical relationship to another level. I wanted to make him feel better, if only for a little while.

When we get back to his house, I follow him into his room and lock the door behind us. I don’t care if his parents are home, I want to let my man know how much I love him.

Alex sits on the end of the bed, defeated and drained. This is when my plan forms.

I’m not a vixen by any means, but I chalk my actions up to my inner wolf wanting to bring relief to her Alpha. As I walk toward Alex, I slip my shirt off, exposing my bra. He stares at it like he’s never seen it before…probably because he hasn’t.

When I stop in front of him, I release the clasp in the back and let my bra fall to the floor. I can hear Alex’s breath catch, and a wildness sweeps over his eyes.

He nuzzles his face into my chest, which is rather small and unappealing as far as I’m concerned, before lying back and pulling me on top of him.

Leaning down, he takes one breast in his mouth, then the other. He is gentle, and it’s erotic. My body heats up and I can’t help but rub my hips against his. If this feels so good, I can’t imagine what our union is going to be like!

To take it a step further, I unzip his pants and pull them down, then my own, so we’re both in our underwear. Now, I know this is a dangerous move even as I’m doing it, but I feel like I can control myself. And I really feel like we need this…Alex needs this.

I climb back onto him, straddle him as I had before, and take advantage of the thin layers of fabric between us as I move my hips back and forth.

Alex begins moaning and becomes absolutely beastly in his reaction. He begins gnawing on my lips and moving against me, but I make him stop.

“I’m doing this for you,” I say before biting his lower lip.

Alex growls his agreement.

And I commence rubbing. We both become excited, and that’s when I realize we really don’t even need intercourse to satisfy one another.

Afterward, we hold each other in his bed. I want to put my clothes back on, suddenly bashful or ny exposed body, but Alex stops me. “Please,” he says as he scoots behind me, pulls the sheets up, and envelopes me in his body, telling me how much he misses me. “I count down the days until summer break,” he says. And I know three more years isn’t that long, but it will be the most challenging three years of my life.

+25 BONUS

That summer, I begin my Luna training, and the more time spend with my pack the more antsy I get to return to them. By the end of summe, I have gotten to know each pack member by name and, barring a few real tight asses, I’m received warmly.

It didn’t take long to figure out who Ryan’s supporters were. I know that’s one thing Alex focused on when he returned last summer. With the assistance of our new friends–Charles, Jeaoul, and Lenor–he was able to root out the few who knew Ryan’s secret. They were banished from the pack for my safety.

Turns out, Ryan’s true power was his deceit and fear of his wrath. He wasn’t really a bad leader, from that I’m told, just a little paranoid and prone to outbursts of temper. Being a backstabbing traitor will do that to you, I

guess.

I learnt, much to my relief, that a pack system is a lot like the British system of government. I’m more than just a figurehead, but the Council makes most of the decisions. I can veto them, and they can outvote me, but I don’t have to worry about being councilor, judge, and lawmaker. Most day–to–day affairs are handled for me unless I’m absolutely needed.

This will be helpful when I’m dividing my time between packs.

By my junior year, I have established myself as an upcoming Luna, a stable girlfriend, and integral member of the Drama Club. I’ve really come out of my shell, even scoring the lead in the end–of–year production of The Crucible, a classic of American literature and theater.

Practice is extensive and I end up missing my Spring Break much to the disappointment of both my mother and my pack. Alex is able to visit, and sits in on practices, much to the delight of the female staff.

Unlike my last year in high school, I am confident enough to know that ant attention he is getting is not a threat to our relationship. His previous adventures in flirting are now foreign to him. He is nice to everyone, but he only has eyes for me, and he makes that obvious.

Still, it’s nice to know the man you’re with is desired by other women, and I gain an embarrassing amount of pride from having him on my arm. While he’s not the Alpha out here that he is back home, he will always exhibit those qualities, and women of all walks will always want him.

Opening week is a blur. Between getting last minute practices in and studying for finals, I barely sleep. Caffeine has become my best friend. Now I know I’m an adult.

Two hours before I have to show up for the first production, I sneak away to a nearby lake. It’s a popular spot: Several birds nest in the area, turtles call its water home, it’s almost a mile round making it a good place for a stroll, and there are several benches for couples to sit and enjoy the fresh air.
