Ian’s p. o. v
“Alpha please.” She whispered pleadingly as I cummed in her for the sixth time and this time knotted her. I didn’t want to but I couldn’t stop myself. I just couldn’t help myself.
After her leaving me behind for what felt like forever, I went crazy in search of her. There and then my feelings and Axel’s became clear. To never go through that shit again we were going to knot her and make her bear our pup. Either she wanted it or not.
“I can’t pull out right now because I have knotted you,” I answered honestly then leaned in and kissed her lips tenderly.
She looked at me in shock but sighed softly and wrapped her arms around my shoulders responding to my kiss.
“I guess this is all my fault plus I am willing to carry your pup. Not because I am obliged to, but because I want to.” She answered through our mind link, surprising me.
I touched her cheeks gently then moved my hand to her neck where I had marked her.
“Do you really mean it?” I asked softly.
She sighed softly and chuckled.
“Of course I do Ian. I would be lying if I say I had never thought of our future together. To be honest, I have always wanted to carry your pups and be a mother.” She answered then wrapped her arms around my shoulders tightly.
“I love you, never forget that.” She whispered softly.
I pulled back and rested my forehead against hers then closed my eyes.
Was this what they called paradise? A few hours ago I was furious and felt like hurting her just to prove a point, but now everything felt different. I didn’t want to do anything bad to her anymore despite her abandoning me. I was actually very happy that she was back in my arms and where she belonged, that’s my pack.
The only thing I was going to make sure I did was to get her pregnant. She wouldn’t dare run away from her pups no matter what, cause that’s the kind of character she had. She would live happily by my side and I would see to it that she had everything that she could ever need as long as I was alive and breathing.
“Are you tired?” I asked huskily.
“I am.” She answered softly.
I kept quiet then turned with her in my arms, laying down with her on top.
“I’m sorry,” I whispered then wrapped my arms around her waist.
“Sorry for what?” She asked after resting her head against my chest.
“I was furious with you and did a lot of things without your consent. Even now I feel ashamed for knotting you out of selfishness. I needed to get your concern first before doing it.” I answered softly.
“Ian, I have said this already, please don’t make me say it again. I really want to carry your pup and stand by your side…” She trailed off then yawned.
She was so tired and I didn’t want to make it worse by asking her why she had run away from me, just having her here was enough.
Her breathing began to slow down and in just a few minutes she was already fast asleep.
I kept quietly brushing her hair back gently as minutes went by. Once I felt the knot loosen, I shifted with her to the sides and slowly pulled out of her pussy.
“Damn,” I whispered to myself then carefully sat upright and looked at her. She was resting calmly and had a lot of love bites all over her body, her thighs were still covered with cum and that didn’t sit well with me.
I stood up from the bed and went into the bathroom grabbing a small bucket and a clean face towel.
Once I had filled it with warm water from the tub. I came out of the room and walked to the side where she was laying.
I carefully put the bucket down and dipped the towel in.
As I squeezed it, she shifted and turned facing my way.
I moved and sat next to her then carefully wiped her entire beautiful body.
“Ian.” She whispered each time I moved the towel on her skin.
“Sleep.” I mind-linked her and felt her relax.
Once I was done, I picked up the bucket with the towel in it and walked back to the bathroom. I took out the towel after squeezing it and poured down the water in the sink while I thought of my next move.
“Am I to sleep next to her or wait for her to wake up?” I asked Axel happily then put the bucket down.
“Do that.” His happy response came.
“I will be right back after I check on everyone, frist let me freshen up” I answered then walked into the shower turning it on and scrubbing my body happily while whistling.
Once I was done, I walked out of the shower and went into the bedroom where she was still asleep.
I changed into clean clothes and went out of the room going to Neo’s bedroom.
I was about to knock on the door when he opened it and looked at me seriously.
“Alpha.” He greeted me with respect.
“Neo,” I answered.
“Do come in.” He said softly then stepped aside.
“Thanks,” I said as I walked in. I could pick up the scent of wolfbane and whiskey from him.
“Were you drinking?” I asked calmly then moved to the bed and sat down.
“A little ?” He answered seriously.
“Is it because of her?” I asked.
He sighed loudly then moved to his desk table at the corner and grabbed the open whiskey bottle from there.
“I lost it, brother. After we came back I wanted to speak to her but I couldn’t bring myself to say a word. I watched as she went into Amelia’s room silently with a low sigh. It’s like she wanted me to say something as well yet I couldn’t. I disappointed her.” He answered loudly.
He really had it rougher than me.
“Look Neo, you helped me find my mate and that was enough redemption to me and my pack. Also, you are still my beta and my younger brother, that’s why if you need any help from me, do tell me and let me know. I will do everything in my power to see that you are happy.” I said calmly.
He looked at me silently then burst out in laughter.
“You think that was enough redemption, I still want to work on you trusting me completely again.” He answered seriously.
“I understand brother, but just to be clear, you coming with me meant a lot to me.” I said honestly then stood up.
He kept quiet then sighed loudly.
“Do you think that I’m a coward?” He asked seriously.
I moved closer and extended my hand to him.
“No you are not a coward, you are my brother and I am no coward. So stop drinking that shit and hand over the bottle.” I answered softly.
“Thank you.” He said huskily then handed over the bottle.
“Now, I am here to discuss a lot of things. I need you to sit down first because we have a very long way to go.” I said seriously.
We needed a few things to change in our pack and it was going to take some time, but first, we needed to talk about it.
