The Wolves Howl
Another update? I'm really spoiling you guys now. This chapter might seem like a filler, but it'll all make sense, I promise.
Chapter 14
(Tris)
I gasp as I come back from another sim and grip the arm of the chair. Four smiles at me and I get my breathing back under control.
"You're definitely getting better and you're still the best in your class by a long shot Tris." I let out a short laugh and shake my head, taking the glass of water he offers me.
"Doesn't feel like I'm getting any better. It's really hard." It's Four's turn to laugh as I gulp down the water in maybe five seconds. I stand up and pat down my shirt, looking at the recording of my sim.
"It's not designed to be easy. Dauntless initiation is by far the hardest of all the factions. It's designed to push your to your limits, to force you to fight back. If it were easy then it wouldn't be so effective." I nod my head and sigh, he's right, I know he is but I can't stop myself from wanting it to be easy. I feel a sudden surge of anger and frustration from my mate and clutch my head. I've learnt that sudden strong emotions from the bond give me a headache.
"Go on." I nod and leave the room, giving Lauren a quick hug before running off. The way to the leadership offices has become really familiar. I feel like I'm doing it every day. I get to Eric's office and find him shouting at Max.
"Hey hey hey. Calm down." Max retreats and I look at Eric who is really really pissed. His eyes are bright silver and he growls lowly at me as I approach.
"Don't you growl at me." He continues to growl at me and I snarl back. He continues to growl and eventually I give up. I leave his office and close the door behind me.
"So you're the alpha's mate? I'm his new assistant, Brett." I look at the lanky blonde with bright green eyes sat behind the desk outside of Eric's door. I smile softly at him and sit on the edge of his desk.
"He'll calm down eventually, I think." I laugh gently and Brett laughs along with me. I listen to Eric pace and growl in the room and Brett gets up.
"Would you like a coffee Luna?" I nod softly and smile, Brett seems nice. I hear Eric growls louder and I block him feeling me. A little trick Lauren taught me. I didn't even know that I could block him feeling me, but I can and it's good when he's really mad about lesser stuff. He gets really mad a lot, never at me, at over stuff but I always receive the brunt of it.
"Luna? Coffee." I jump and smile at Brett, taking the coffee from him.
"Is he always such a hardass?" I hum for a second and shake my head, he isn't always like this, just when he's under a lot of stress.
"Not all the time, not when it's just us." Brett nods and smiles knowingly. I furrow my eyebrows and sip the coffee.
"Do you have a mate?" He nods and I smile brightly, I hope every wolf finds their mate, it really is the only way you ever feel totally complete, like their isn't a part of you missing. I feel Eric start to calm down so I go back into his office.
"Sweet girl, c'mere." I sit in his lap and he holds me tightly, kissing the top of my head.
"Hey hey hey, don't think you can sweeten me up with head kisses and cuddles Mr." He hums and he kisses my neck, sucking on the skin and nipping gently.
"Nu uh." He hums again and picks me up, carrying me to the door. I squeal and he opens the door. Eric looks at Brett and holds me upside down.
"Cancel everything for the rest of the day please mate. I have to make it up to my mate for getting all pissy with her." Brett nods and I kick and struggle against him, giggling louder.
"You're so gonna get it Luna!" I raise my middle finger at Brett and he just chuckles.
"He's nice. I like your new assistant." He puts me down and I look at him with a perplexed expression.
"What?" He just laughs bitterly and I'm really confused.
"You like him huh? We're mated in case you've forgotten." Urgh he's getting all possessive again. I roll my eyes and shake my head. What the hell? He knows I love him and no one else.
"Baby, you know I love you." He sighs and I grab him, pulling him into me. I grab his face lay my forehead atop of his.
"Only you, okay?" He nods and picks me up, carrying me on his hips towards our appointment.
"Sorry sweet girl, I'm just so worried I'm gonna lose you." I nod and lay my head on his shoulder. He opens the door and kicks it shut behind us. He throws me onto the couch and I look at him, my eyes going gold.
"You're so gonna get it." He flips me over and bends me over the couch.
"I think you need to be reminded just how much you belong to me." He rubs my back with his calloused hands and kisses my shoulder gently, nipping the skin.
"Uh huh, I don't think you have the balls." He growls loudly and wraps his hand in my hair. He holds my head down and chuckles.
"I'll show you balls."
(Eric)
I stand over the stove, cooking up a storm for my girl for dinner. Chicken with bbq sauce and bacon, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob and peas. She moans softly and stirs on the couch, shrugging of the blanket. She's so gorgeous. I adore every inch of her and she might not think she's beautiful, but she is so incredibly beautiful. I am a lucky son of a bitch.
"Hey Pretty girl, sleep okay?" She nods and brushes her hair out of eyes and smiles at me, sniffing the air.
"Mmm that smells so good." She gets up and wraps her arms around me, hugging me tightly.
"Mmmm cheeky girl. Why don't you go and put some jammies on? I didn't think I'd ever ask you to put clothes on." She hmmms for a second and nods her head.
"Maybe just one of your shirts." She winks at me and skips off, she knows exactly what she's doing to me. Cheeky girl. My cheeky girl.
