Ashley cleaned up dinner and Payne went off for a quick patrol.
I stared off down the border, looking at the miles of desert sand against green forest. This seed like an impossible task.
I sighed heavily and dropped my head into my hands.
Soren sat down beside .
Slowly, I lifted my eyes and looked into his face.
“Soren, I don’t know what to do here,” I said, motioning to the border.
“Are you asking for help?” he asked, arching an eyebrow.
“Yeah. I am. You saw the map more than I did. What do you think my mother was trying to tell us?”
Soren sighed and ran a hand down his face. He looked at seriously. “Mila, I think your mother had a plan for us, starting here.”
“What do you an?” I asked, creasing my brow.
“I think she wanted us to settle down here,” he said, nodding slowly.
“Settle down? Here? Together?” I asked incredulously.
“Yes. So we can spend the rest of our lives digging for the sheath,” Soren said. He smirked and looked at with wide eyes.
Groaning, I rolled my eyes. Soren laughed and I couldn’t hold my own laugh in. Giggling, I covered my mouth and then I just laughed, leaning back and shaking my head.
It always surprised when he made a joke. I was so used to him being serious and stern that when he made a joke, I was never expecting it.
Maybe I was getting to know him better. Or maybe he was showing a side of him that he didn’t show to anyone else.
Deep down, he was pretty funny and made good jokes.
I wondered who else got to see this side of him. Did he ever let anyone see him like this?
I stole a look at him. Under the bright moon, his blue-gray eyes watched carefully. But they were peaceful like the ocean. His dark hair rippled around his face. His features were deep, gentle, and soothing. I thought I could stare into his gorgeous orbs forever.
Suddenly, Helen’s words popped into my head about soone that I loved being in great danger. I looked away quickly and swallowed my joyful laugh.
“Seriously, what do we do next?” I asked.
“I can’t answer that for you. We have the sa information on this matter,” he said with a deep sigh. “Your mother might be able to answer, though... She left clues.”
“She did?” I asked, creasing my brow.
“Yes, she did. We just need to find them,” he said.
“Like the dream? Last ti, April brought us there. I’m not sure I could do that myself,” I admitted, shrugging.
“There are other things she left you. Things that you can touch and hold. Maybe you should check the things your mother left with you,” he suggested.
“Oh,” I said, smiling. “You an, like the spellbook?”
“I think you’ll find that she left you more than that,” he said, arching a challenging eyebrow.
I sifted through the other things that my mom had left for in the box. The spellbook was the only one that had survived. The feather lted, the map was burned.
Absently, I played with the new necklace chain on my neck. Smiling, I held the necklace up.
“The Moonlit Crystal?” I asked.
Soren shrugged. “It’s just a thought.”
I nodded and unclasped the necklace. In order to keep the crystal safe, Soren had fashioned a necklace with a little pendant on it that could open and close. It would hold the crystal safe and close.
I popped the necklace open and pulled the crystal out. Turning it in my hands, I wondered what this crystal could do to help in our quest. I glanced at Soren again and shrugged.
“Don’t look at . It is just a guess,” Soren said, chuckling.
I sighed again and deflated a little. My shoulders sagging. I kept turning the crystal in my hands, watching how it reflected the light.
“Mila, you’re thinking too much. Co with ,” Soren said. He stood up and held a hand out to .
“Where are we going?” I asked as I slowly took his hand.
“You’ve been upset and tense for a few days. I can see it in your eyes. You know what the best thing to do is when you’re upset?” he asked, bouncing his eyebrows at .
“What?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at him suspiciously.
“Taking a run with your wolf, of course. What did you think I ant?” He winked at .
I chuckled and shook my head, following along with him as he led to one of the tents.
“I guarantee you’ll feel better afterward. Besides, aren’t you full after eating the rabbit? Ti to work so of that off,” he teased.
We stood together in the tent and it reminded of how close together we were in the cave when we shifted. My cheeks heated and I looked down. If we were going to shift, I wasn’t going to do it here with him in the tent.
“Just... wait outside for a minute. Let shift,” I said, shooing him away.
Soren shook his head and pulled his shirt off.
My cheeks burned even more and I turned around as I slid my dress off my shoulders. All I had underneath it was underwear.
There was a part of that reminded myself that Soren had seen it all before, multiple tis. On the other hand... I couldn’t help wondering what impact my body had on him. Especially when he was sober.
I leaned over slightly to test my theory and suddenly, I felt his eyes on . His eyes were so bright and burning as he looked at . I didn’t even need to look at him in order to feel his deep desire for .
Soren’s arms ca around and I gasped. He pinned down on the cot.
“What are you-”
His lips were at my ear and I felt them curl into a smirk. He held tightly, pinned to his bare chest. The muscles in his legs tensed around my legs.
“Maybe you’re not hungry still, but I am still very hungry,” he whispered in my ear. His mouth dropped to my neck and Soren kissed deeply.
I shuddered and swallowed a moan as I felt his tongue press against my neck. My core tightened and I ached for him.
Well damn! I didn’t know how he felt about but I did know what impact my body had on him. I also knew the impact that his touch had on .
“D-didn’t you say... th-that you wanted to go for a run?” I asked.
Soren chuckled and kissed my neck again. “I can think of a more favorable kind of exercise,” he teased, nibbling my earlobe.
Another moan rose to my lips and I swallowed it again. The inside of my thighs dampened.
Ashley and Payne were just outside in the campsite. They weren’t that far away and I knew I’d been too embarrassed to have sex with Soren right now in the tent.
I shook my head and pushed away from Soren. As soon as his grip loosened on , I shifted and ran out of the tent.
As I ran by, Ashley pointed to . “Look, Payne, she’s absolutely gorgeous.”
Payne bowed his head to as I ran by.
I knew that Soren would co after in seconds and I heard his pounding paws behind . A thrill ran through and I didn’t want the chase to end so soon.
When I moved, Soren moved too. It was almost like our minds were connected and he could anticipate my movents.
I could feel how much stronger I was now that I’d taken more of the antidote. I’d be able to stay in wolf-form a lot longer this ti. Doctor Lee had been right about that and I was excited to test my wolf’s strength.
I felt so much lighter and faster than I had before. My mind opened up and I felt free. My paws pounded into the ground and it was like I was flying through the forest and into the desert.
The sand was warm and soft on the pads of my feet and the wind rippled through my fur. It was the most alive I’d felt in ages!
Soren was right. Running in wolf form lifted my mood and made feel so much better!
The bright moon shone on the sand, making the desert look like a sea of silver water. The forest was just to my left, and the moonbeams shone through the trees so beautifully.
I had a sudden thought. Turning, I headed back to the forest and hid in the leaves and grass. I found a place that was mossy where the ground was soft and pleasant.
Picking up my speed, I raced to that spot and I felt Soren pick up his speed behind . He caught quickly and jumped at . His wolf collided with and he pinned down with his paws.
I licked my lips and shifted back into human form.
The majestic, large wolf that pinned down gazed at with Soren’s deep eyes. I was naked under him and his silky fur tickled my skin. I reached up and slipped my fingers through his soft fur.
At my touch, he shifted back, my hand right on his chest.
He didn’t say anything. Soren leaned down and kissed hard and passionately on the mouth.
Moaning, I arched my back and pressed more of my skin to his. He was so soft and smooth, his muscles tense and warm against . I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him down to .
The warmth and wetness between my legs intensified and my pussy ached for Soren.
He ran his hands up and down my sides, caressing my skin gently until I shivered.
I moaned into his mouth and bent my legs, cradling Soren’s hips between my thighs. I rolled my hips, grinding against Soren’s thick, engorged cock.
He grunted and pulled his lips from mine. Smirking, he lowered his head and kissed my neck. He ran his tongue from the base of my throat to my jawline. I trembled in his embrace.
Slowly, Soren trailed kisses back down my throat.
My legs shook around him and I rolled my hips again, begging him with my body to take .
Soren’s hands moved to the back of my legs. He squeezed hard, forcing my legs open. I tightened my arms around his neck as his velvety, pulsing cock slipped between my legs. He pressed his tip to my slick, wet entrance and ran it up and down, teasing .
Moaning, I twisted in his grasp. Fire spread across my skin and I thought I’d explode if he didn’t touch . Whimpering, I begged him silently not to keep teasing . My clit pulsed and my insides thrumd with need and desire.
Soren pushed his hips forward, his erection opening up and moving inside of . His shaft stroked my inner walls, spreading them apart in a delicious way.
I gripped Soren’s back, my fingers turning to claws, my nails biting into his skin. Arching my back, I rolled my hips, sucking him in deeper.
He groaned, his hands tightening on my legs as he thrust into .
My insides pulsed and quivered around him and pleasure coursed through my body. My legs shook and I felt blissfully weak with ecstasy as Soren kept thrusting into .
I clenched my insides around him, tightening my channel of muscles. His cock twitched and he groaned, kissing and nibbling on my earlobe.
I couldn’t think straight. I was going completely insane from the way he touched and moved inside of . My nails dug deeper into his skin and I felt blood on my fingertips.
Soren’s hands moved to my butt and he squeezed, massaging gently as he pulled against him, sinking deeper inside of .
I bit my lip, stifling a moan. My head lolled from side to side as pure, raw pleasure took over. My entire body trembled and I cried out. My legs shook and my insides clenched as a pleasurable orgasm ran through .
I wrapped my arms around Soren’s neck, kissing the side of his face repeatedly. He panted in my ear, his fingers tightening around my buttocks. His cock quivered and Soren groaned as he reached his own climax.
He groaned, breathing raggedly, tightening his arms around as he jerked with pleasure.
Sighing, Soren rested his forehead in the crook of my neck. I cradled my arms around his head. My chest rose and fell heavily.
My entire body humd pleasantly with our shared afterglow. It was the first ti we’d had sex completely sober.
