“One. Just one. Deimos stopped me before I could swallow the other.” I respond. A sigh of relief passes her lips.
“As soon as you return we need to check the effects of it on your body. I shall pray tonight that it hasn’t harmed your future.” She whispers. A click of the bathroom door and I know he is returning.
“I need to go. I shall call you later.” I utter quickly cutting the call. He enters in drying his hair with a towel whilst another covers his bottom torso.
I get up into a sitting position watching him like a predator. Analyzing his every move, every reaction. My eyes follow him as he grabs some clothes for the night from the suitcase. He neither glances at me nor speaks to me.
As soon as he is dressed he comes towards me. Palms under my armpits he lifts me so I can wrap my legs around his waist. I hug his shoulders nose against his neck as small whines of apology are let out from my lips.
Carrying me inside he places me softly into the tub filled with warm water. Pumping some shampoo in his hands he massages my scalp with utmost gentleness. I wish to talk to him but I don’t as I feel the tension radiating from him.
Lathering me up with soap he picks up the hand shower and washes me from head to toe. His way of taking care of his female. Is he not angry? Or is he hiding it from me? Why have I not met face to face with his fury or pain?
As soon as I am washed my male picks me up wrapping me in a soft towel so I am kept warm. “Get dressed. I will make dinner.” Is all he says as he walks out of the bedroom without another glance. He is warm but cold at the same time to me.
Whilst he makes dinner I keep my distance from him. There is no laughter or any kind of talk for that matter only a cold silence. Each burning with their thoughts.
Dinner is quiet. We sit apart from each other I try to make small talk but he answers are frank and short. My heart breaks with the way he is with me and I know my decision broke his too. I don’t seek him anymore giving him the distance he wishes.
Whilst I am munching on the leftover bomboloni that he made, Deimos cleans up the kitchen preparing the ingredients for tomorrow’s meal. I wait for him patiently sitting on the sofa watching the raindrops roll down the windows.
The rain is yet to stop, the storm seeing no end. It has poured the entire day and still is doing so. “I am going for a run.” He says zipping up his jacket. I quickly kneel on the sofa turning around to face him.
“N-Now? It is raining.” I whisper.
“It doesn’t matter.” He says striding towards the door.
“Do you want me to accompany you?” I ask him meekly as he shakes his head in denial.
“No, I wish to be alone for a while.” And with that, he walks as the main door slams shut behind him.
Silence envelopes the entire house and my wolf lets out a small whine. She is unhappy and so am I. I don’t want to be separated like this. I don’t like this at all.
Time ticks and I wait patiently on the sofa my eyes glued to the door. A small sound would have my attention. Hours have passed and he is still to return. The rain hasn’t stopped yet and I fear perhaps he isn’t going to return. Tears well in my eyes as I try to deny it.
The doorbell has me springing to my feet dashing to the front door banging the door open. “Deim-” I begin to call my male’s name but stop when my eyes find another male from Giovanni’s pack. He bows as soon as he sees me.
“Luna Lumina.” He greets with a smile. I nod in acknowledgment covering myself with the blanket tighter. My wolf disliking the fact that there is another male present during our heat. “I was ordered last week to give this to you today at midnight stroke.” He whispers handing me a bouquet.
Confused I take it from him wondering from who it could be. Had Elriam sent it to make me feel better? “Have a good night.” He says with a smile bowing and strides back to his car.
Inspecting the flowers I head to the kitchen counter so I can place it in a vase. My eyes find a letter hidden beneath the petals and I quickly pluck it out opening it to have a read.
To my light,
I am not so good with words so I thought I would write what often swims in my mind. All my life I had never felt true warmth or love rather I did not even know the meanings they possessed, then I was blessed with you. With your soul. Something I truly do not deserve. You showed me. What it is like to feel it. To possess these feelings that are out of this world. I wish to share these feelings, my female. Not with just you but with a life we create together.
I want to have a pup with you, Lumina. I wish to start this journey with you. There is no one for me but you. Always and forever.
Your male,
Deimos
Loud sobs leave my lips as tears blur my vision. He had wanted to tell me today. He had wanted to surprise me. He wants this, he had always been wanting this with me. I was wrong, I was so very wrong.
The sound of the door opening has me running to him. I know he is home. As soon as he sees me his eyes are filled with concern thinking something went wrong. I jump, my legs clamped around his waist. Hands around his neck lips upon his throat.
I kiss his forehead, his eyes, his nose, his cheeks, and lips. I slather my kisses all over his face pecking him as loud wails leave my lips. His palms are underneath my bum holding me up carrying me as if I were a pup.
“I am sorry. It is my fault. I didn’t know. I was scared for our future. Please forgive me.” I keep whispering these words between sniffles and sobs over and over again. Grabbing the back of my neck pulling me forward he has his lips on mine taking my mouth in a harsh kiss, fangs sinking into my flesh tongue thrust deep into my warmth.
“Never hide from me again, Lumina. Bare your soul to me.” He commands eyes burning in fire and I submit to his words.
