Chapter 121
Thann
I can’t lie. The words little wolf gifted me did bring up emotions that I had packed away for site time. It would be easy for us to both start
a grief spiral. Circling the drain replaying the tragedies of our lives. In this moment our families should be here, and they aren’t. The connection we have with each other through shared experiences is something little wolf and I will have former. No matter how much it hurts. I hope with time; we are able to navigate he memories and the emotions they bring better. Process it together. Say my sisters name for fates sake, but I can’t. We can’t No yet. The pain is there, but instead of drowning, little watt surprises me by pulling me to her and giving me a hard, fast, desperate kiss. Our mouths mesting like she is chasing her pain awa I suppose she is. We both are.
I pull back and wave at the crowd. “Go Party, Celebrate your new luna I yell at them in between cheers as they start the party back up. Music blaring and drinks start flowing, I think Cyrus started a conga line somewhere as he is half naked for some reason. Little wolf, I have a surprise for you.” I tell her nervously. I don’t know how she will take this gift. If she will even like it. “Oh really? I don’t have anything to give you.” she replies back, and I can tell it hurts her, but she doesn’t realize she is my gift. I do need to go over financials with ber and let her know that she can run tabs in town anywhere from now on. That is, when she is ready to go out
on her own.
“We can stay here, or I can take you to your gift. I would much rather take you, but that is just because I am excited, and I want you alone again.” I push a feeling of lust down the bond and watch her stiffen as her pupils dilate. Damn this bond is going to take some getting used to and I am already imaging all the fun ways I can push little wolf through the bond. “Well, if that is what you want to do, that is what I want. I kind of need a shifter anyway. I think I am maxed out on my ability to smile at this point. I laugh knowing that she is right. This is the most socialization she has had in ten years, and I know she needs some time to decompress as do I and I need my mate.
“Well, the gift is a few minutes away. I will drive us there.” I take her arm in mine and start walking her through the crowd, down the aisle and to one of our SUVs. I really want someone else to drive us so I can have little wolf all to myself in the backseat, but I am also feeling quite possessive at the moment, and I don’t want anyone near my new mate. The fact I have one still has me in shock. Like I can’t believe this is really happening to me. I have to push back the wrong thoughts that I don’t deserve it.
I reach across her and buckle her into the car while I take the opportunity to kiss her softly and place my hand inside her thigh, rubbing my thumb back and forth between her legs. I can feel the desire and the need in the bond, and it takes everything I have to pull away and not take her out and toss her on the hood and have my way with her.
We drive through the town and around the backside of the mountains that border our region. It is a longer drive than it is in our wolf form, running through the forest. I have reservations in the pit of my stomach about this gift, but I hope she feels the same way I do.
