It
*FREYA*
The feeling of something soft beneath my skin had me moaning in relief before opening my eyes, it took a while to adjust to the light of the day and the fact that I was butt naked under the bedsheet that was draped around me. I frowned slightly, blinking rapidly at the ceiling as I tried to recall the last event that may have brought me to this position.
“Finally, You are awake milady” Hazel interrupted with relief as she came to stand beside my bed.
I sat up, pulling the sheet around me. “Jet?” I tried to remember what Kale had told me on the phone a few minutes before I collapsed. “Is he alright?”
“Alpha is well, I am very worried about you Milady, you were screaming so much before I could get to the room you had passed out” She paused studying me for some seconds. “I was the one who discarded you of your dress because you tore up some part, I placed you on the bed” She explained, which solves half of my confusion right now.
Relaxing back against the bed I wondered if I should ask her what was going on and why isn’t anyone currently in my room. “I would like to get up now” I murmured.
“I was ordered not to leave your side Milady” I heard her sigh. “Last night was the full moon and tonight as well, the full moon will make the heat worse for you and Alpha. You are presently not feeling it like last night because the sun is up but Alpha…” She struggled helplessly and I felt for her cause it was apparent she didn’t know how to explain what was going on to me.
“Don’t worry Hazel, I’m sure one of the others will explain things better. Thank you for taking care of me” I told her making her smile shyly at me.
“I shall fetch you a new dress” She turn to leave but stopped in her track. “Shall I help you out of the bed?” She offered.
“I can manage” I replied then waited for her to disappear into the closet before leaving the bed and walking naked to the bathroom, I stare at my naked body in the mirror noticing the fingernail mark on my arm, possibly done by me.
Some of the things I could understand from Hazel’s words was the fact that the full moon enlightened the heat and it was back to maximum this morning since the sun is up. I was not a werewolf so why would the moon be affecting me? Its never happened before, I was uncertain and too distracted by how perky my boobs were getting, and the arousal pulsing between my legs to even think properly.
Spending hours in a cold bathtub did nothing to ease my current state, I gave up and return to the room where a worried Hazel was anxiously waiting for me, breakfast was already laid out on the table for me.
“I guess everyone is too busy to come down for breakfast then,” I remarked wanting some information, I prayed Jet was doing okay.
If Hazel had heard me, I couldn’t tell because she didn’t react to my words. Just as I finished dressing up and having breakfast, a knock sounded on the door and Hazel hurriedly went to get it, I jumped up from the sofa when I saw it was Claire.
“Call me if you need me Milady” Hazel mumbles before excusing us, once the door shut behind her, I twirled around to face Claire demanding an explanation.
“I should believe you have enough energy to go through that again this night” That was the first thing she said, plus she seemed like someone who hasn’t slept in a while.
“So you heard my screaming? That was weird. I’m feeling the heat right now but it’s not as intense as I felt last night. I’m not a werewolf so why is the moon affecting me?” I needed an answer soon.
“You are bounded to a werewolf if you are willing to recall?” She pointed out. “I was too busy trying to hold down an Alpha to worry about your little screams” She slumped down on my bed, I jerked around at her words.
“What do you mean by that? Is Jet okay” dread filled me and I felt sick in my stomach, resisting the weird urge to puke, I crossed the room to stand in front of her? “Dammit! I’m talking to you!” I shouted not caring if I was being rude to her at that moment.
She gently stood up from the bed and grasped my shoulders. “You love him” It wasn’t even a question, the statement left me speechless for several seconds.
“Don’t be ridiculous Claire, I was only asking if he was okay” I fumble my fingers nervously because all of a sudden, I had no idea of what to do with myself. Why the hell would she say something like that?
“If you choose not to believe” She responded. “The full moon is going to last up to three days, the longer you wait to consummate the mating bond, the more intense and painful it gets” Seeing the scared look on my face, she held my shoulder. “I do not mean to scare you but prepare you. Jet has managed to fall asleep, he should be awake and feeling less savage when he wakes up” She giggled.
I pushed back the urge to suddenly cry. “Was he hurt last night?” I asked softly this time around.
“Not in the way you are thinking, if we had not locked him up, believe me, it was not easy. Jet is an Alpha, we were no match for him, but he was also fighting against his beast, he would have come in here and lured using seduction. He would have seduced you into completing the mating bond but since you are not ready. and he does not want to hurt you, we decided it was agreeably for him to be locked up” She explained.
“Uhm… Thank you” I told her crossing to seat on my bed, I expected her to leave already not come to comfort me. I was expecting her to hate me for keeping her up all night, and for the injury, she had suffered, yes I notice but it looks like an old scar if I hadn’t read that werewolves could heal themselves, I would not have known.
“You do not have to feel bad,” She said as if reading into my thoughts. “The ways of humans are very hard and different from ours so I do understand you. Hazel and I shall be present here tonight to take care of you” She assured me.
“I think you should be with Jet, I know he will feel worse if he manages to escape during the night….” I couldn’t finish off, I was so aroused and started to sweat.
Claire nodded in understanding. “Nonetheless I will be here, for now, I would like to catch a quick nap and maybe make love to my mate” She giggled. “If I have the strength” Her word made me laugh, and she laughed too before exiting the room.
Long after she left the room I decided to take a walk outside for some fresh air. Nodding my head at the greetings the servants sent my way, I descend the staircase leading to the front of the house, Hazel once told me that the wind blew stronger in Kale’s house and that was something I needed right now!
“Heading somewhere,” Kale’s teasing voice said behind me, I waited for him to catch up with me and half expected him to glare at me, give me a hateful look or say something nasty but that never came instead he was saying. “If you are not strong enough, the wind will blow you away”
I smiled at that. “So how was holding up the Alpha last night?” I tried to make it a joke but my voice cracked causing him to stop and look at me.
“Are you about to cry?” He inquired in surprise.
I laughed because I didn’t want to cry. “I’m so stupid,” I said slapping a hand over my forehead.
“I do not believe you are,” He said in a serious voice. “I see no reason why you should be crying”
“Are you not feeling the heat? You are above seventeen and unmated” I asked changing the subject.
He shrugged it off. “Do not try to change the subject, but follow me. I plan on playing pranks on the warriors, come, watch and learn” He cheered leading me to their base but recalling what happened the last time I was there, I started to protest but he dragged me there anyway.
As we hide behind the warrior’s base I couldn’t shake up the strange feeling that someone was watching me but then I look up in the sky reminding myself I have a lot of time until the full moon tonight.
