The Couple novel Chapter 45

Christian

After talking about most of the things and our intimate time we slept. Finally after a long time, I slept like a baby. Without her that bed felt so cold and I didn’t sleep a single night. Even though she was injured and tired she was so horny. Trust me, I wanted her too with the same desperation and passion but I was more worried about her injured leg. After it got twisted once, I tried to avoid getting intimate with her but she wouldn't budge.She gave her what she wanted but without having her ways with she didn’t rest. Well, her dominating me was hot indeed.

We got up late at the time of dinner. I decided to go downstairs to have dinner with everyone. Mamma looked a bit cool now. She didn’t give Celia those angry looks like she wished death for her. As I guessed she is calm now and will soon be like before with Heaven.

She never asked Celia and me to have our dinners upstairs, it was me because the night we returned, she even mind linked with me to not bring Heaven home which infuriated me. If she doesn’t want to see Heaven, it is fine we will stay away from her. I could have taken her to the my… our cabin in the woods but it will only bring attention to us. I lied to Heaven that it was Mamma who asked us to eat here because I know if I told her it was me she would definitely convince me somehow to go downstairs and have dinner with everyone.

Before heading downstairs, I asked Mary if Mamma is in a good mood or still ranting about how Moon Goddess made a big mistake this time and how she will try to convince me to reject Heaven. No matter what happens, I won’t let history repeat itself. I won’t make the same mistakes my elders made.

As we entered the dining room, everyone turned in our direction. I am glad Ethan and Mary are being supportive here. I haven’t met Uncle Robert yet but talked to him a bit. Actually he contacted me just to assure me that he supports my decisions and still respects his future Luna. I was glad that my uncle and aunt supported us in this, it was an encouragement to me. I hope Mamma and aunt Karen will show their support sooner or later.

But even without their approval Heaven is mine.

Greg is staying here with Jeanne. His parents were a bit worried about him and Jeanne but let them stay here.They know the story everyone knows in the town. I haven’t declared the presence of their Luna yet. Only a few people know about reality.

After dinner, I went to meet uncle Robert with Ethan while Mary stayed with Heaven to accompany her and satisfy her curiosity. This afternoon,she asked me a lot of questions and I know she still has many questions running through her mind.

Although I restricted Mary to tell her anything about being mates or the prophecy. I don't know how she will react to either and I want to be there when she gets to know about it. So, I can tell her I love her and not just because she is my mate.

I discussed each and every detail with uncle Robert. He isn’t happy with what happened but supports our decision. He liked the way we handled the situation and brought his daughter and daughter-in-law back. He is happy that his daughters are safe and at home in front of his eyes. He was raging in fire when we started the story.

While I was telling him the story, Mary mind linked me a little bit frustrated but amused. She complained how Heaven is driving her crazy with all her questions about werewolves, our tradition and culture. I chuckled hearing her annoyed voice in my head which made Ethan and uncle look at me like I have lost my mind. By the end of the story, he had tears in his eyes which refused to roll down his cheeks. He left after asking me to keep updating him.

He might have worked all his tenure under Dadda’s guidance but he was the one who kept the pack sane, safe and bonded. After shifting here, it was him who brought back the pack slowly and without raising much suspicion. Many families refused to join back but it was only because of him they returned and joined the pack. He fulfilled all the duties of an alpha, the bread winner of this family and my father. I never called him father or dad but he was no less than a father to me. He made the pack stronger and gave it shelter of the alpha it needed.

After he left, Ethan informed me that Ross is here and is jumping up and down with happiness. Ross has an offer for us and will only talk about it when we will meet. He still doesn’t know that it was me who had the blood of Harris on his hands. I told Ethan to invite him for dinner tomorrow and only then we will have a talk.

I went to my room. Mary gave me a thankful and tired smile. She moved really fast to leave the room.

“I thought moving too fast isn’t allowed in your condition.” I asked her to slow down a bit before she hurts herself.

“I will be fine as soon as I leave this room.” She replied and left the room too fast. It looked like if I would have been a minute late, she would have fainted.

While Mary looked tired and frustrated, Heaven was excited and full of energy. If I didn’t know how tiring her day was I would have been easily fooled seeing her enthusiasm. Ignoring her, I walked into my closet to get clothes for her. I will sleep naked as usual or maybe in boxers if she wants me to. For her, I got one of my long worn out t-shirts. I still remember how hot she looked when she wore my shirt back in her apartment.

Mere thought of her seeing half naked can make me jump.

I carried the shirt to her and asked if she wanted to take a shower before heading to sleep but she refused. Damn, she is too excited to get the answers. Mary left me in a lion’s den alone. I don’t know if I have the energy to match her level.

“She said she can’t work because she has a lots of responsibilities towards pack and pack is more important for her. Will your wife won’t be working as well after you marry her?” She asked me as I helped her get out of that dress.

“Why? Are you worried about your job?” She blushed after hearing my direct question, thinking of herself as my wife and carrying out her duties in the pack. I leaned in and closed the distance between us. I stroked her cheek with the back of my hand.

“If you want you can continue your job but you have to work in my company so you can manage both of your duties easily.” I answered her. She looked up to me and moved her eyes too quickly, she was blinking too fast. She is nervous. “Don’t worry, not asking you to marry me tomorrow.” I moved back to give her some space and breath.

“Are you really looking to marry me one day?” She asked with her eyes wide open, my heart skipped a beat witnessing those two big green eyes. I think I can match her level of enthusiasm if she keeps widening her eyes like this.

“What do you think?” I started taking off my clothes and saw her eyes running over my whole body up and down as she was seeing it for the first time. She was lost lusting over me until I jumped on the bed and settled down beside her. Now, she was sitting in my t-shirt puddled near her waist and letting her purple lace underwear uncovered for my view while I was laying there in just boxers.

She saw the direction of eyes and fixed her… my t-shirt. I helped her lay down because I don’t trust her with her leg. She will twist it again in the excitement to lay down and shoot her trail of questions.

“Easy… easy. I don’t want a limping Luna for myself.”

“I am not your Luna yet. If I limp after this, you can find a healthy wolf.” Before she could say anything further, I hovered above her to meet her eye level before I speak because I want her to know how serious we both are for her.

“Limping or not, wolf or human, you’re the only one now. My wolf will never accept another lady as his Luna” She was moved with my gesture, I could see it in her eyes. I gave her time to sink in before I do or speak anything further. I got us covered and removed my boxers. I took her in my arms and she took it as her signal to continue her interrogation.

“Mary said she has more work during the full moon as she has to send sweets to all families in packs. And the full moon is special for you guys. Why?”

“During a full moon, we feel different feelings. Like an alpha and his pack members feel more strength while a rogue will feel weak and will lose his control over his wolf.”

“So, you celebrate each full moon?”
