Chapter 3
Spare woke up feeling like she was still dreaming, the bed was so warm and soft, there was a lingering scent that drove her crazy, as she was rubbing her face all over the pillow. She woke with a start, not knowing where she was till Artemis lazily informed her that they spent the night in their mates bed.
She quickly got out of the bed and looked around the room. It was huge, there weren’t a lot of decorations , there was a couch on one side with a really large TV. When she turned to look at the rest of the room, she saw him asleep on a cot. He didn’t look very comfortable.
She silently made her way over to him. The blanket was down around his hips as he was snoring softly. She took him in, no one should look this good, his broad shoulders and dark hair covering his well muscled chest, she followed that hair to where it disappeared under the blanket. Artemis was panting so hard that Spare started breathing harder too. His scent was so strong right here,she couldn’t control her hands, she managed to stop herself before she actually touched him.
She turned and found another door, upon opening it she found to her joy a bathroom. She had to pee so bad her eyeballs were floating.
When she went into the bathroom, Duncan opened his eyes. He pretended to be asleep to see what she would do, He could still smell her arousal in the air. Running his hand through his hair in frustration, mind linking his wolf, Apollo this is going to be the toughest thing we have ever done.
He got up and put on some casual clothes and waited for her to get done in the bathroom. He looked in the drawer where he put her clothes, he was going to burn these as soon as possible. They were too big and saggy looking. He picked up her shoes they had a hole in the bottom of them , that she put a piece of duct tape over.
He took the envelope with her money out of the safe and put it on the side table, the rest he packed up, including her shoe’s and tossed them down the laundry chute, mind linking his Beta to collect them and destroy them.
She wasn’t going to be happy but there was no way his Luna was going to wear those clothes ever again. He stood up and went to sit on his cot, just as she was coming out of the bathroom.
They looked at each other for a little while, Spare blushed and finally looked away. She sat down on the bed defeated.
Duncan saw this and cringed, as he went and sat down on the bed beside her. ” I have ordered breakfast for us both to eat in here, I hope that we can talk about everything.”
She was grateful for that, she really didn’t feel like meeting new pack members just yet. Just then a knock came at the door, Duncan opened it and two girls came in giggling, as they sat down two trays loaded with food and drinks.
They left as quickly as they came, for which Spare was happy about, she didn’t need anyone giving her looks. She hated to be in the spotlight. It made her feel vulnerable. She sat down at the table looking at all the food, it smelled like heaven. She wasted no time, grabbing her fork she dug into the food with gusto.
Duncan watched her eat, at least she has an appetite. Unless she is so starving that she can’t help herself. Either way she was going to get all the food and snacks that he could give her.
“So little wolf, tell me about that really weird looking teddy bear, what is his story?.”
” His name is Max, I made him when I was six years old. I wasn’t allowed any toys of my own, My sister though would throw huge tantrums and destroy her stuffed animals. So one day I started to collect parts out of the garbage and made max.”
“Did you do anything with your family?”
“No, I had to stay out of sight, I wasn’t even allowed to use the front door.”
Duncan was getting more and more pissed as this conversation was progressing. Taking a deep breath to calm himself and his wolf down.
“How about food, if you were not allowed to be around them how did you eat.?”
“When I was little I waited for everyone to go to bed, then I would sneak down and steal some food. If they noticed things were missing they never said, though I was punished really bad when I got caught on one of my runs, out of my room.”
