Crossing Paths With The White Wolf

Natalia P O V

I woke up and smiled, I could feel and smell Helios' all around me. His leg was wrapped over mine and his head on my chest. I loved waking up and feeling every inch of his body on mine, cradling me in a cocoon of warmth, love and safety. I looked down at him and brushed my hand through his tangled hair. He murmured happily and snuggled closer.

It was so hard to watch him fight after the explosion last night. I knew he was still hurt but he wouldn't let me heal him fully. He was more worried about me than himself. I felt every hit he took on my body and when the wolfsbane went into his chest, I thought I would pass out from the burning pain. I don't know how he managed to get through the pain and kill Shane. I don't know what happened after that. I guess I should go check to make sure everyone is fine.

We should do that...but we should also make sure mate is taken care of too. - Hestia purred the suggestion.

Well, I'm sure if we were needed, they would have tried to contact us by now. - I agreed as I snaked my hand down his body until I found what I was looking for. I stroked his soft c**k and I felt his hips thrust lightly in his sleep and a small moan came out of his lips, making my b****t break out in goose flesh. I continued to stroke him slowly, feeling his c**k harden in my hand, making me wet. I gently pushed his leg away from my own and then pushed his shoulder as slowly as I could without waking him. He stirred, but didn't wake up. I got up on my knees and took his c**k into my mouth. I let my tongue explore his swollen head as I gently massaged his balls with one hand and the base of his d**k with the other. I heard him moan and I took more of him into my mouth, letting my spit coat his entire d**k so I could use it as lubricant. I pushed his c**k as far as it would go while I gently pulled on his balls and when his c**k met my throat, I did my best to relax it and take more of him in. I heard him take a sharp intake of breath and moan loudly. "Oh f**k Nat, that feels amazing," he said, his voice husky from sleep, and it was sexy as hell. I picked up speed as I felt his hand caress my a*s. He started rubbing a finger up and down my p***y over my clothes and I felt as they soaked through with my wetness. His fingers stilled for a moment and I pouted. I took his d**k from my mouth to ask him to continue and gasped as he picked up my torso and pulled me on top of him. I felt the claws at my hips tearing the leggings down both sides before the entire thing was removed. The cool air was quickly replaced by his hot tongue on my p***y as it invaded my core. I moaned as I put my mouth back onto his c**k. I took one of my hands and began to massage his balls again. I pressed my thumb on his taint to stimulate his prostate. He jerked in surprise and moaned. I continued to suck his c**k while massaging his prostrate from this position and soon he began moaning non-stop, his pleasure driving me close and closer to the edge of my own crest.

"Naaatt," he moaned as he began thrusting his hips erratically, inserting two fingers into my soaked p***y. "You're going to make me c*m," he groaned as he curled his fingers inside my core. His balls tensed and I felt him bite my a*s as his p***s began pulsing and I swallowed every drop of the creamy liquid. He continued to pump his fingers into my p***y and when I felt his teeth close over my c**t, I became undone. I felt his mouth close on the entrance to my heated core as he sucked and licked up all of my juices. I moved off him once I regained my senses and crawled into his arms where he kissed me deeply. "You're amazing," he said, a satisfied smile on his face. Hestia was purring with pride at being able to satisfy our mate, happy I followed her suggestion. "I didn't think you'd wake up this early. You used up a lot of energy last night," he mentioned as he drew lazy circles on my back.

"My bond to Hestia has been getting stronger again, and the mate bond helps a lot," I kissed his chest. My stomach decided to make itself known at that moment, making Helios' chest rumble as a chuckle came out.

"I grabbed you some snacks, but by the way the sun is shining, I'd imagine we could probably head down for lunch or dinner after a shower," he said, and he stretched his hand out behind him to look at his phone. "Lunch, definitely lunch. It's not even one in the afternoon. Are you sure you don't need more sleep?" He asked as I sat up.

"I'm good. I would imagine we have a lot of things to do after everything last night," I said as I stretched.

His eyes began to darken with lust as he looked at me stretching, making the shirt ride up to reveal my behind. "Most of the clean up is done, but we'll have to do a bit of fixing to the outside of the packhouse and the gates," he answered. "Did we lose anyone?" I asked quietly as we went into the shower.

"Aleksandr," he said, and I looked down at my feet. He had been sweet. Always first to offer a kind smile and ask if you needed help. "Hey," he said softly and pulled my chin up with his hand, making me look into his eyes, "you saved so many yesterday. He was shot in the head. There was nothing you could have done. He didn't suffer Nat. He died trying to protect us. We will give him the send off he deserves and my sister will look after him then," I nodded and hugged him, letting the mate bond soothe my pain.

We changed and headed down. There were a lot of people moving about and even more napping on couches. They looked like they were trying to get rid of all the dust and debris from the explosion. The double doors were open and the ruined couches were being removed. There seemed to be a sense of urgency to their actions.

"What's going on?" Helios asked and I heard running from behind us.

"The council is coming tomorrow evening and the Vampire Royals will be here later in the evening. They have requested that we house them until the following day so they don't risk traveling in the daylight by the time we're done. Evergreen unlocked Shane's electronics and we've got locations, emails. We hit the motherload." Gonzalo said.

"What motherload? I asked.

"We found some electronics in the SUVs those assholes came in. Evergreen's been working on them all morning. He managed to break through and download a lot of s**t before the father must have realized why he didn't answer the phone and sent a remote wipe on his phone and computer," he said, "It's good to see you up, Nat. I didn't think we'd see you up and about for a few days."

I smiled at the warmth in his words. "We are getting stronger and the mate bond always helps."

'Nat?' Celeste's tentative mind link came through.

'Hi. How are you feeling?' I asked her, remembering her distress yesterday.

'How am I feeling? Nat, you realize you healed like 40 people yesterday? I thought you would sleep for weeks!

'I'm getting stronger now that I'm marked. I'm fine Celeste' I told her, touched by her concern, wondering how I had gotten so lucky to have such a caring group of people in my life after all this time.

'Hang on one sec' she said, and cut off the mind link. I waited for a minute before she came back. 'Do you want to come with us to dinner? Get a small break from all the chaos of pack duties. 'Uhhh, I'll ask Helios and get back to you.' I told her.

"Everything OK?" Helios asked.

"I think so? Celeste and Markus want to take us out for dinner," I said. His brows shot up at that.

"Why?" he asked.

"I'm not sure. I told her I'd ask you," I said.

"Do you want to go?" He asked.

"I..." I was going to say I didn't care, but that wasn't true, "I think I would actually," I said, and he nodded at me with a smile.

"Gonzalo, do we know how many people are coming?" I asked. We needed to get the suites ready.

"All 5 councilmen and the King and Queen of the Vampires with a few guards each," he said.

I nodded and looked up at Helios, "I'll let Celeste know and get the suites ready. Meet you back here in a while?"

He kissed me and nodded. "I have to go talk to Alpha Rhett about the repairs and get the pyre ready for Aleksandr."

After the pyre ceremony, around 5 pm, I met Helios back in our room. We showered and changed and headed towards the vehicles. We were met by Tyler at the door.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"Alpha Markus contacted Theo and requested that we drive you to the restaurant. He said you wouldn't need a ride back," he explained.

I looked at Helios and he only shrugged, "At this point, I would just go with the flow. You never know what they've got planned this time." He wrapped his arm around my waist and we followed Tyler to the SUV.

We arrived at a little restaurant strip in the nearby town. Tyler stops next to Markus' truck and lets us out. He leaves us there as I look around.

"I thought you didn't do Italian restaurants, Markus," Helios smirks, and I feel like I've missed some kind of inside joke.

Markus covers a laugh with a cough as Celeste looks shocked before she starts laughing, "Oh goddess, you told him?"

"No, I just happened to mention that if he wanted to know why we never eat there, he should ask you!" he said, blushing.

"We're not eating Italian, Helios, we just needed a place with multiple open parking spaces. We're having dinner at a little Indian restaurant down the street. It seems to be all I crave lately," she said.

"Why did you need multiple open parking spaces?" I asked.

Markus grinned at us and beckoned us over to the other side of his truck. We came around the corner and both of our jaws dropped. It was Helios' Lamborghini, looking good as new. "Catch," Markus said as he tossed the keys to Helios, who didn't react in time and the keys hit him right on the nose, leaving a bright red mark. I doubled over in laughter as Markus said, "s**t, sorry man, I thought you'd catch it."

"How was I supposed to know you were throwing them," Helios said indignantly as he bent down to pick up the keys. He looked at me annoyed, but I was too overcome with giggles.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Oh, but when it was me you were all like 'werewolves are supposed to have fast reflexes"" I mocked, my eyes were already tearing up and I couldn't get a deep breath in. Markus and Celeste were just looking at me with amusement, not knowing what happened that night with Helios and Gonzalo. "Wait until I tell Gonzalo." I cackled.

"You will do no such thing, woman," Helios warned, but I could feel nothing but amusement from the bond. He started marching towards me, a mischievous glint in his eyes and I knew what would happen, so I took off running down the street, Helios hot on my heels. I wasn't really a match for his speed and before I could get very far, he grabbed me by the waist and tickled me until I thought I would pass out. I finally surrendered, getting pretty close to losing control of my bladder, and begged him to stop. He lifted me over his shoulder, and walked back towards Celeste and Markus, who were holding each other and smiling at us.

A few people walking on the sidewalk looked at us strangely but I simply grinned at them and they shook their heads with a smile and kept on their way. "So you like the surprise?" Markus asked as Helios put me down.

"It's amazing," Helios said as he went to look at the car. I was almost jealous at the way he lovingly let his hand caress the hood, "I thought we had dumped it in a junk yard in Cali after we limped it back to the city," he said.

"We were going to, but I thought it would be a shame to let a car like this go to the junk yard to die, so I sent someone to drop it off in a storage locker and then sent it to the collision repair place. I had originally wanted to have it done for your birthday, but it wasn't ready. I was told it was a limited edition and they needed time to get the right parts," Markus explained.

Helios smiled wide and threw the keys in the air before he caught them and pointed at me, "You're not allowed to drive it again." And everyone laughed at me.

I pouted. "Oh come on! I saved you, didn't I?" I complained before I let him drag me to dinner. The food was pretty good and I enjoyed getting to know Markus and Celeste more personally. Celeste made a request at the end of dinner that made Helios' emotions go haywire.

We drove back in silence, with me holding his hand to sooth the torrent of emotions in him.

We went to bed that night and I woke up to an empty bed a few hours later. I looked around and noticed the balcony door was open. I found Helios outside, looking up at the moon. It was only a waning crescent but I knew he was talking to his sister. I wrapped my arms around his waist and he turned around to look at me. There were tears in his eyes and a small smile. "Sorry I woke you. I just wanted to thank her," he said before he lifted me in his arms and carried us back into bed. We laid in bed for a while before we fell back to sleep again. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.
