Chapter 26

After a few days things seemed almost normal again, or atleast as normal as they could be now that I had a son and a daughter running around the house. In the heat of the moment it had seemed like everything was falling into place easily for me and Fable. But when the drama died down it was harder for us to grow back together. It was taking time but I was okay with that, she was here and we had our family the rest would follow.

This morning while she and the children were at the Cullen's I'd tidied and cleaned our old bedroom so it was no longer coated in dust and unused. It was back to the way it was before Fable had left I'd even gone to the trouble of replacing the broken bathtub. There would be no more nights sleeping on the sofa for me and Fable.

I had Patrol with Teague until twelve and the children would probably be in bed by the time I got home, I hated that I'd barely gotten to see them today and I could see why Jake hadn't wanted the responsibility of Alpha now that he was a Father. But if one day Sawyer and Raven would join the pack there's no way I wasn't going to be right there with them.

Patrol was uneventful, other than Teague bitching that Whitley was dating some cop from the station in Forks. I didn't get it he liked her, he wanted her, he was blatantly in love with her and he knew how she felt about him why wouldn't he just go for it already. It was a shame they were still yet to work things out. Teague had finally got his head sorted out and realized he wanted to be with Whitley just when she'd gone and given up on him and started dating new people instead. I felt for the guy but he'd also brought it on himself.

When I got home the top floor was in darkness, but there was still some light emitting from the kitchen so I knew Fable was still awake. I trotted over to the house and phased fishing a pair of jeans out of the basket on the deck. I smelt grilled cheese as soon as I opened the back door and I smiled. Fable had done this in the past if I was getting off patrol late and she was still awake she'd make me something to eat ready for when I got in the door.

I turned the corner into the kitchen and saw her stood there with her back to me at the stove. She was wearing a pair of denim short shorts and one of my t-shirts so big it fell off her shoulder revealing her soft creamy skin. She hadn't even heard me come in or noticed me yet, Fable was as skilled and powerful as any wolf or she had been back when she could still phase. Her sense of smell was unbelievable when she put her mind to it and she could see in the dark better than I, but her hearing was barely any better than a regular human. I walked up behind her and pressed my lips to her bare shoulder, she tensed for half a second then realized it was me and leaned back against me.

She sighed deeply and happily as I brushed all of her hair to one side. I moved my lips up to her neck and grinned when I felt her tremble. "The kids didn't want to go to sleep until you got home, they fought it so hard but they couldn't keep their eyes open past ten" she smiles and I chuckle.

"I'm gonna make it so I have to do as few late patrols as possible" I tell her and take her ear lobe gently between my teeth.

"You're the Alpha, you have to do what you have to do, the kids will get used to it" Fable tells me.

"I don't want them to have to get used to it, I wanna be here" I sigh.

"I know" she whispers and lifts her hand to stroke the stubble of my jaw; I turn my face into her touch and kiss her palm. I turn her hand over with my own and kiss the back, then her knuckles then each finger tip one at a time. "Something happened today" she says and I tense worried what it could be "Have you been phased with Vayle at all today?" she asks me and I shake my head.

"No, why?"

"He came over with your bike keys, said you lent it to him a while back and then I got here and with the fight with Hershel... he hadn't had time to bring it back" she says and I nod.

"I was starting to think I was never getting it back" I laugh. "So what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the bike?" I ask and she shakes her head.

"No. Sawyer was shouting me from upstairs, I was only out of the room for a second so I don't know for sure that it happened but when I came down he was sat with Raven on his lap while she taught him how to braid hair and he was looking at her with this goofy smile of his face like she was the most precious thing in the world" Fable says, and I feel my eyebrows rise.

"He imprinted on her?" I ask.

"I don't know I wasn't in the room but I think so. He left before I could talk to him and to be honest he looked kind of freaked out. Probably thinks he's gonna get his ass kicked for imprinting on the Alpha's daughter" Fable sighs and I laugh.

"I'll talk to him tomorrow" I tell her and she nods.

"How do you feel about that?" she asks me and I shrug my shoulders.

"Vayle's a good kid; he's a lot like Seth in many respects. I guess if any of the guys might end up dating my daughter I'd pick him" I say.

"But he's seventeen"

"Yeah and Raven will be one day whether we like it or not. Wouldn't you rather she ended up with someone we know and trust and not some horny little punk with a Cadillac?" I say and she laughs.

"Depends what year the Cadillac is" she shrugs and I laugh. That's one of the things I love about Fable she could set my blood on fire with want and desire one second and having me laughing the next. I loved that she could make me laugh. I loved that she could take the piss out of herself and that she took the piss out me too, it was win win.

I couldn't stop myself or hold myself back anymore. I stroke my hands down her sides and grip her hips firmly. I pull her against me more and grin at the feel of her perfect little ass against me. I pushed my hips forward and Fable's head fell back against my shoulder in a moan. I kissed her neck and shoulder as I felt my way around to the button of her shorts. I flicked the little button open then let the material hit the floor.

I spin her around so our chests are forced together and I toy with the hem of the T-shirt she's wearing. I attack her lips unable to wait any longer, our lips move in sync like we were never out of practice, like she never went away. One of her hands weaves into my hair the other feels the muscles of y back. She tugs at my hair and I growl, she knows I love it when she does that. My hairs a little long now, I haven't cut it once in the eighteen months she was gone. Her hair's longer too; I like it like that, I like that when it's down it come right down to the small of her back. I take her hair in my hand so I'm holding it in a loose pony tail then pull her head back so I can kiss her neck some more. "I like your hair long" I tell her then scrape my teeth over her throat. She whimpers.

"I like yours long too" she pants and brings her other hand up to play with my hair. I pull the T-shirt over her head and I love that she has nothing on underneath. Damn my girl is sexy. I grind my hips against hers and she bites her lips to keep from crying out.

Tucking one finger into her lacy panties I push them down and I hear her heart speed up even more. Once I have her naked in the middle of our kitchen I reach behind her and turn the stove off. "Skar?..." she starts but I put my thumb over her lips to quiet her. I already know what she's going to ask me. She's worried about us being caught by the kids. They're asleep I can everything that's happening in this house, we're not gonna be disturbed. So I tell her that and kiss her picking her up so she wraps her legs around me.

I turn with her in my arms and sit her on the kitchen island, reaching for my zipper the second I set her down. I grab her by the backs of her knees and pull her to the edge of the counter pressing myself against her entrance. I dip my head and take her nipple in my mouth, flattening my tongue and dragging it over the little erect bud. She whimpers and gasps, softly cursing and I switch to the other breast. "Oh God Skar please?" she begs and I chuckle darkly.

"Patience" I tell her and she moans.

"It's been so long, you don't know how much I need you" she breathes. I take my length in my hand and tease the head over her clit, she cries out and I grin. "Skar?"

"What?" I ask with a laugh, I know very well what. Fable pouts in frustration. "Look at me" I tell her and then I finally give her what she wants. I told her to look at me but I'm the one breaking our stare, I find my eyes rolling into the back of my head in the ecstasy of it all, it just feels so fucking good to be back here. Sheathed inside her as deep as I can get.

We're desperate for this and there's no need for taking anything slow or holding back. It's rough and fast and sweaty and honestly it's fucking amazing, I swear it's never been like this. It's perfect; it's exactly what we both need. And in that moment when she falls apart and takes me with her moaning my name, I know that it's right and that everything is how it's supposed to be.

I carried her upstairs afterward, she asked me where I was taking her a couple of times but I just kept smiling as if I could stop and said nothing. She frowned at me with this funny look on her face when I stopped outside of our bedroom door. I guess she hadn't been in here today so she didn't know I'd fixed and cleaned everything up.

When I pushed the door open she smiled at me and her eyes filled with tears. "Thank you" she whispers then pulls my lips against hers. I push the door shut quietly with my foot and carry her to the bed where we make love twice more.

Lying in bed later that evening as I caressed her nakedness, Fable turned to me with a shy smile on her lips. I cocked an eyebrow at her wondering what she was up to. "I've been thinking… I never did give you an answer to that question did I?" she says and I smile so wide I think my face might crack in two. She bites her lip and I shake my head slowly from side to side.

"No, you didn't" I say. "So?" I ask

"I'll marry you" she whispers with the most beautiful smile on her face. I let out a little laugh half nervous half excited.

"You mean that?" I ask and she giggles.

"I mean it" she nods. I laugh, giddy with the fact she just agreed to marry me, it feels like I've just won the greatest prize that could ever be won. I roll on top of her and her smile matches mine. I don't remember ever being happier except maybe once, the moment Fable came back to me and I realized those two little wolf cubs were ours, but it's hard to tell which memory is my favorite.
