The following fortnight after the attack, Seth completely hovered over me. Rightfully so unfortunately.
After I had shifted with him for the first time, I had fallen ill with a fever and the flu. And it was no Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
common cold, no I spent most days in an almost delirious state. I had the most vivid nightmares of
Rafa and Yemi coming back to finish me off, and when I woke up I could barely work out that it hadn't
been real.
As I was beginning to push past the delirious faze and the flu calmed down to a simple cold, Seth was
planning our trip. On the recruitment of more Packs for the war, we needed to visit the Red Knox Pack,
but we were going to go via my old Pack – as they still hadn't sided with us.
Seth wanted to leave me behind and I was
not in agreement.
"Mabel please" he groaned, sitting on the side of the bed. I crossed my arms over my chest, as I
pushed myself up in the bed. "You are not well enough for all the travelling".
"The hell I'm not" I growled, narrowing my eyes at him. My nose was blocked so I was a little nasally, so
I didn't sound very angry but more squeaky than anything.
"Baby you have been through so much. It's okay to just rest sometimes". He reached up and tucked a
stray curl behind my ear. I slapped his hand away angrily.
"I've been resting for the last two weeks. I'm fine, just a little running nose. Nothing else" I lied with a
shrug.
"Mabel" he groaned.
"Seth, come on, I have to see my Pack again" I complained. Seth was silent for a few moments,
watching me closely before frowning.
"Do you miss your family is that it? Are you homesick?"
"Fuck no" I snorted, shaking my head in disgust.
Seth looked confused, "then why is it so important that you return to Vernal Pack?"
"So I can rub it in those bitches faces" I snapped truthfully. Seth blinked in shock, confused and
concerned at the same time. "People in that pack tormented me for years. They called me ugly and
weak. Now look at me, Seth. I've Shifted, I'm a strong Luna and I look fucking hot now".
Seth sighed, "I can't disagree with that. You look beautiful". He was silent for a few minutes before
shaking his head and standing up. "I'm changing the plans. I'll go to Red Knox Pack on my own first
and then you'll travel up with Dean and some others and meet me at Vernal Pack. We'll stay there for a
weekend and then return home".
For a moment I considered fighting that point but decided that Seth was being mature and
compromising, so I should too. "Agreed" I nodded, smiling up at him.
Seth kissed the top of my head before forcing another mouthful of flu medicine down my throat. He
then wrapped the blankets around me and headed back to work. "Mabel" he called back, pausing in the
doorway. "You should know, you were strong and beautiful before. You have nothing to prove to those
people".
His words warmed me from the inside and I smiled heavily at him. Seth and I had come so far since
we'd first met. It was hard to believe that Seth was the man that had denied me as his mate when we'd
first met. I wanted to show everyone how I had changed, but Seth had changed just as much.
The following day, Seth packed a bag for his trip to the Red Knox Pack. He was leaving me in charge
for four days, before Josh would take over when I met him at my old Pack. The Pack was buzzing with
excitement that they would finally experience the leadership of their Luna – they had very high hopes
and expectations that I had to meet.
"You don't have to do this" Seth frowned, as he finished packing his duffle bag. "You're still recovering
and the Pack will understand that".
"And if I let Josh or your brother be in charge they will all think I am weak" I shot back, before loudly
blowing my nose.
"No they wouldn't" he shook his head.
"If I heard that a Luna didn't want to lead her Pack because she had a cold, I would think she was
weak" I deadpanned. "It's fine, I'll have Josh and Dean to help me anyway".
"And I'm only a phone call away" he added, throwing me a charming smile over his shoulder.
"You have your own work to worry about, you don't need me pestering you every few minutes".
Seth chuckled softly as he turned to face me, "you could never pester me".
I narrowed my eyes playfully, "you always tell me I'm pestering you".
"Okay maybe I was lying" he teased. We laughed together as Seth zipped his bag up and walked over
to me. His eyes danced as he smiled at me, before cupping my cheek. I leant into his warm hand as I
looked up at him. Since meeting, Seth and I had not spent more than a night away from each other,
four days was going to be hard.
Leaning down, Seth kissed me deeply – his lip capturing mine and claiming it for his own. I sighed
against him as I kissed him back, my hands resting on his chest. Seth's kiss was heavy and strong,
pushing all his love and passion into me.
I pulled away when I was lightheaded, unable to breath through my blocked nose. I braced myself
against his chest as I coughed heavily. Seth sighed heavily as he rubbed my back, before he grabbed
the glass of water from the bedside table. "Here drink" he encouraged, as I coughed, feeling like my
lung was about to come out.
Once my coughing fit had seized, I placed the water back on the side and turned back to my mate. I
flushed slightly as I leant against his chest. "I'm sorry. I know it's been weeks since we last had sex".
"I don't care. You were attacked and then you got a fever. I just want you better and healthy again".
"Bullshit. You want me bent over and screaming your name".
"Okay, yes, I want that too. But I don't want that until you're healthy again". He smiled at me but there
was heat in his eyes. He was desperate for me and I understood, I wanted him too.
"Oh Papi" I sighed, running my finger over his sharp jaw line. His unshaved stubble tickled the skin of
my finger as I shone up at him. "I want you so badly". I moved closer to him and gently kissed his neck.
"Maybe I can give you a taster of what will happen when I'm better again" I whispered into his ear.
I reached down and unbuttoned his suit pants and slipped my hand into his boxes. Seth hissed as my
hand closed around his flaccid penis, which was still large despite the fact it wasn't hard. I pressed my
face into neck as I began to run my hand up and down his member, it slowly began to harden in my
hand.
"Does this feel good, Daddy?" I asked, voice low and seductive into his ear. He groaned in reply as his
member reached a full erection. I smirked proudly to myself as I picked up speed, my hand pumping
his erection fast and with determination. I muttered a few dirty words in his ear, that had him cussing
and throbbing in my hand. And after about five minutes, Seth hit his orgasm and expelled his cum all
over one of the blankets.
"Did that make you feel a bit better?" I mused, as I used one of my tissues to clean my hand. Seth just
moaned incoherently, before ripping the blanket off the bed and throwing it on the floor. He then lay
down on the bed and I cuddled into his side. "I'm going to miss you".
"I'm going to miss you more. You're stronger than me, you can survive on your own. I'm the pathetic
one who can't sleep without you" he grumbled, sounding sour. I kissed his jaw softly but couldn't say
much else to him.
Seth and I cuddled for a while, before lunchtime came and it was time for him to leave. Oli and some
other Pack Wolves pulled up outside our house as Seth changed his clothing. He sighed heavily before
shouting out the window to them that he'd be there in a few seconds. I climbed out of the bed and
pulled on one of Seth's silk shirts.
I walked with him out the house, where Oli took Seth's bag and everyone else gave me a wave. I
smiled softly to them, before turning my attention back to my mate. "I love you. Text me when you get
there, so I know you're safe, okay?" I muttered. He cupped my cheek.
"Ipromise. I'll count down the days until I see you again". And with that heleft.
