Read on…

Previously On Blood Moon…

He got off the ground and dusted off his jeans. "I know that you want to know more, I've barely scratched the surface of what you're going through but if you come with me to my home, to my pack, everything will be easier to explain. I say this because there are wolves going through a similar situation. Some of them are still learning, others are completely in control."

Still not comfortable and not even remotely happy about having to leave with him, I ask, "If I were to say no?"

Akela shrugged. "Then that'd be that. I have no intention of forcing you, Austin. But I will express my concern for your family."

"The repressed anger," I muttered in my head.

"It will soon become too much to ignore. There's no doubt that you will be exceedingly dangerous. Wolves have done this. They ignored it, did their best, but in the end, it did more damage. To them, and their loved ones. They couldn't help it, try as they might, they couldn't stop themselves from hurting, and even killing their own pack members."

His words sent a wave of panic through me and I shook away the terrible images.

"What if I went away for a while? On my own."

Akela was already nodding before I had even completed the thought, as if he was expecting it.

"Wolves have tried that too. Getting through something like that on your own, without help, can be more painful than the pain occurring in your body. Believe me."

His bright eyes briefly flashed with pain when he said this.

I don't want my family in danger. That's a given, but to leave? No, I don't fully trust him, but Akela has done a great job at keeping me at ease. Like my cousins said, he's an okay guy, and he seems like he is. But, I need time.

Time that I don't know I have.

How much longer can I ignore this pain and anger?

How long until I lash out?

As if reading my thoughts, Akela offered, "Think about, talk to your pack about it, and let me know. I leave in three days."

And with that, he turned around, still not phased, and walked away, disappearing into the tree line.

ALLY POV

"He's been gone for a while. Shouldn't someone go check on him? I'll go. I should go," I said all in one breath and scrambled out of my chair, only to be stopped by Mark taking hold of my arm.

"Ally," He sniggered from his seat across from my chair. "He's barely been there an hour."

I looked at the other two who were also in the kitchen to see them sporting amused expressions.

Anthony was leaning against the counter a few feet in front of us and Paige was next to him, hands tucked into her pockets.

"He'll be fine, Alls," Anthony assured me, a warm and comforting smile gracing his features. "Akela is just talking to him, that's all."

"And if this guy does anything to piss him off; I'm sure he'd bite his head off, yeah?" Paige said. "I know he's wanted to do that to me on some occasions."

I let out a little laugh at that. So did Mark and Anthony.

"Some occasions?" Anthony teased, causing Paige to shove his face gently to the side with her fist.

"I'm just worried," I mumbled. "We don't even know this man apart from what little Alpha Michael's said."

Mark nodded. "Yeah, I agree there but he trusts 'em, so…" He shrugged, leaving his sentence hanging.

I huffed and dropped back down on my chair, crossing my arms over my chest.

"You're cute when you pout, Princess."

I snapped my head up at the voice and turned my head, relief coursing through me at seeing Austin walking into the kitchen.

I turned and narrowed my eyes at Mark.

He laughed. "If I told you that he was on his way; it would have ruined the fun. You really are cute when you pout," He teased, reaching over to boop my nose.

"Back off of my girlfriend, bro," Austin said, coming to stand by my side.

Mark raised his hands in a surrender gesture. "It's not me. She seduces me on a daily basis, I can't help it." He flutters his eyelashes dramatically at me and rests his chin on his clasped hands.

I giggle and reach over, slapping Mark's forearm before accepting Austin's outstretched hand in my own. He gently coaxes me off the chair and into his arms.

"Hi," He breathed when we pulled away, one hand still securing me to his side.

"Hey," I said, smiling up at him.

"Hi, good lookin'."

Austin turned his head towards Paige, staring at her impassively. "Oh, great. You're still here," He mocked dryly.

Paige winked and blew him a kiss.

I pursed my lips and giggled while Austin shook his head, rolling his eyes.

"How was Akela?" I asked, bringing a hand up to rest on his chest, caressing softly while settling my gaze back on him.

Austin hummed and frowned, tilting his head. "Honestly, not what I was expecting."

"Right!" Mark exclaimed. "Told you he's an okay guy."

"Yeah, yeah," Austin grunted. "Are we calling a meeting or something?"

"Your dad thinks it's best to talk things over during dinner," Anthony said. "The pack has been worried."

"I'm not dying," Austin mumbled before he tilted his head. "At least I think I'm not," He added as an afterthought, causing me to smack his chest lightly.

"You aren't dying," I hissed.

He grinned down at me and pressed a kiss to my temple.

"Well, I wouldn't wanna intrude. I'm gonna head up to the mountains."

At Paige's words, Anthony snapped his head towards her. "What? No, no, you don't have to do that."

Beside me, Austin stiffened and cleared his throat. "Bro," He said warningly, teeth clenched.

Anthony took in Austin's glare and sighed, turning to Paige with a pleading gaze. "Can't you just stay around here? What do you have to go up to the mountains for?"

"Damn, man. When did you get so clingy?" Mark snorted.

Paige shot a quick grin to Mark and turned back to Anthony, patting his cheek playfully.

"Don't you worry about it, Pretty Boy. I'll be fine," She assured.

"Thanks, Paige," Austin said.

She shot him another wink and patted Anthony's cheek once more before stepping away.

"You're leaving right now?" Mark asked.

"Uh huh. Don't you all miss me too much, alright? I'll be back."

"Who says I'm gonna allow you back here?" Austin asked, his eyebrows raised.

Anthony snapped his head towards us, his alarmed expression falling away after seeing the teasing expression Austin is sporting.

"You would be the one to miss me the most," Paige teased back.

Mark grinned and gestured to his brother who was looking downcast, staring at his sneakers. "I wouldn't be too sure about that."

Paige raised a brow and turned to Anthony, the playful glint in her eye dimming a little and giving way to a softer tone.

I cleared my throat and implied to Mark and Austin that we should give them some privacy by tipping my head towards the exit of the kitchen.

They both got the message and with a last smile directed at Paige; we exited the kitchen, leaving them alone.

Anthony POV

I kept my head down, gazing at my Converse.

From my peripheral, I saw Paige push off of the counter to stand in front of me. Now, my gaze was drawn away from my Converse and to her black lace up boots.

"Hey," She said in a tone so different from her usual boisterous one. "Look at me."

She used two fingers under my chin to tilt my head up. My eyes met hers and I felt my chest tighten. I don't want her to leave again.

I cleared my throat. "Sorry," I muttered.

She chuckled and stepped closer. "For what, exactly?"

Her closeness and her hand that had now drifted down to my abdomen caused me to choke on my words.

"Uhh, I don't-uhm. I don't actually know," I said, speaking the truth. I really don't know what I'm apologizing for.

Acting like a clingy boyfriend when I don't even know what we are?

Being so needy when we haven't even known each other that long?

What? I don't know.

I just don't want her to go.

So that's what I say.

"I don't want you to go."

She smiles at me. One of those rare genuine, soft smiles that has no trace of her usual mischievousness or teasing.

"I won't be gone for long. I'll come back," She assures. "You need to focus on your family. Austin needs you. All of you."

I sighed and smiled. "Yeah, you're right."

She gazed at me for a few moments before speaking. "I don't know what we're doing, Anthony."

I stared at her. That's the first time she's used my name.

Her words finally clicked and I licked my top lip, getting moisture back onto them.

"Yeah, I don't know either. But I don't want us to stop," I breathed.

Don't want us to stop… Have we even started? And if we did, what exactly have we started?

"I don't either," She said. "But we'll talk more about us once I get back, okay?"

I sighed and nodded my head, taking my gaze back to my shoes.

"Okay."

She leaned forward and coaxed my face up with her finger before pressing a lingering kiss to my lips.

"I'll see you again, Pretty Boy."

Ally POV

When Austin had got back to the cabin I knew that something was off. He masked it pretty well by bantering with Paige and donning his usual stoic expression but I saw through it.

Upon leaving Anthony and Paige alone, Mark, Austin, and I had retreated into the living room where Zack, Joey, Genevieve, Jared, and Cassidy were watching some sort of documentary on TV.

I took a seat next to Zack- who was actually still acting quite drawn away from everything after the Sabre incident- while Austin walked over to the sliding glass door, looking out and occasionally chipping into whatever we were talking about.

We all spoke for a while before conversation between Austin and everyone else melted away, seeing as he had drifted off somewhere deep into his own thoughts.

That's when I was certain that something was off.

He had a far away look in his eyes, as if he was thinking hard. The muscles in his jaw kept flexing every few minutes and that action was sometimes followed by his eyebrows furrowing into a frown.

He eventually caught me watching him from across the room and immediately he tried to mask his expression by giving me a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

I got off of the couch and walked over to him, the conversation behind us lulling into nothing more than a buzzing mumble.

"Austin," I said, placing a hand lightly on his abdomen.

He sighed and took my other hand in his, bringing it up to place a chaste kiss to my knuckles.

"Later. I'll tell you all everything later," He promised.

I pursed my lips and gulped, my voice coming out in a small whisper. "Did he say that you'll have to leave?"

Austin's jaw flexed again and that was all the answer that I needed.

Before he had gone to meet Akela I was aware that he might have to leave. Alpha Michael made that clear. Austin and I even had a full blown conversation about it and I had said that if he needs to leave in order for him to be okay, then I would accept it.

I just can't bring myself to imagine being here without him.

He's always been here. Even when we weren't in a relationship; he was here. And I've always felt so safe with him.

Yes, I've always felt safe and so welcomed here but without Austin? Not knowing what's wrong with him, not knowing what he's going through, not being there with him… How do I manage that?

"Hey. Princess," I heard Austin softly say and I shook away my thoughts before looking up at him. His head was dipped down, our foreheads almost touching.

"I'm okay," I said, sounding more like I was reassuring myself than reassuring Austin.

He exhaled and narrowed his eyes thoughtfully in a look that clearly told me he wasn't buying it, but he said nothing.

Deciding to not dwell on anything until he spoke to us all, I leaned up on my tip toes and placed a light kiss to his chin before taking his hand and leading him to a free couch.

Austin POV

Bits and pieces of the talk with Akela kept floating around my head. I couldn't concentrate on anything, I had no idea what the conversation flowing around the room was about, and I didn't give a fuck about whatever was on TV. All I could think about was the fact that I'm pretty much a ticking time bomb.

How long can I keep this anger and frustration at bay before I lash out and hurt my family?

I have nothing more to go on about my situation. There seems to be no other option right now except to just trust my father's judgement regarding Akela, and go with him.

Fuck…

The only thing right now that's keeping me from completely losing my shit and phasing was the feel of Ally pressed against me, both her arms curled lightly around one of mine and her head resting on my shoulder as she watched whatever documentary was currently on TV.

Since when do we even watch documentaries?

I looked down at her and sensing my gaze; she peeked up at me.

I smiled and nuzzled my nose against hers, revelling in the sound of her breathy giggle. I coaxed my arm out of her soft grip and draped it around her, pulling her flush against my side.

She snaked one arm around my back and the other across my abdomen, resting her cheek on my chest.

"Are you okay?" She mumbled softly against me.

I kissed her hair. "Are you?"

She tensed and exhaled a heavy breath, hiding her face from me.

It was a beat before she answered.

"I don't know."

The atmosphere around the dinner table was tense while I spoke about my conversation with Akela. No one said anything while I spoke, just listened, and when everything was said and done; Mark lightly elbowed Anthony and they began to clear away our used plates with Trish moving to help them.

The pack was exuding concern and anxiousness over the fact that Akela suggested I leave with him, and obviously without intending to, they threw all that uneasy energy right at me and it was making my head spin even more than when I came back from the actual talk with Akela.

Cassidy, Anthony, Mark, Trish, and Ally already knew that I might have to leave but the rest of the pack were only coming to know of it now, and almost all of them were shooting questions at my father or me.

"Why didn't we know about this?" Elliot exclaimed and looked at Cassidy who was seated next to him. All she did was rub his arm, shaking her head.

"I've heard of Akela but can we really trust him, Alpha Mike?" Joey asked my father, his eyes flashing with concern when he turned to look at me briefly.

I gave uninformative one words answers whenever I was asked a question or just shook my head and exhaled heavily, fidgeting with my ring on my index finger.

Dez was seated opposite me and was staring thoughtfully at me, not saying anything.

Jace was to my left, and when I glanced up and caught his eye, he too said nothing but rather gave my shoulder a squeeze and two light pats, offering a small smile that I returned briefly before looking back down at my ring.

Ally was on my right. She was running her finger over the rim of her glass of Mountain Dew but her motions stopped when she turned to me. I'm guessing she saw the look of frustration on my face because she reached out under the table to rest a hand on my thigh, caressing comfortingly.

"Enough," My father said, and all questions and murmuring ceased immediately.

He looked around the table at everyone before coming back to rest his soft gaze on me and then Ally.

"Ally, dear."

She immediately sat up straighter but kept her hand on my thigh. I rested my hand atop hers, thanking her for the supporting touch.

"Yes?" She answered softly when she noticed everyone's eyes settled on her.

I gave a huff and glared quickly around the table, prompting them to stop making her so fucking uncomfortable.

She squeezed my thigh in thanks and my dad spoke again.

"Which way do we go from here?"

"Uhm, I don't follow," Ally said slowly.

"What do you think Austin should do?" My father asked, adding to his previous question.

The pack again all turned to her, but I didn't reprimand them this time since I was also looking at her expectantly, awaiting her answer.

"Uh, what-what do I think?" Ally asked with uncertainty.

My father frowned. "Well, yes. Why do you sound so surprised, dear?"

Ally shrugged and shook her head. "Well, you've already said that he should go with Akela, so… I just assumed that that would be it."

"Because I'm the Alpha?" My father asked.

Ally raised her brows. "Uh huh."

My father smiled lightly and leaned back in his chair, taking a sip of his water.

"I am the Alpha, yes, and I am Austin's father. But you're his partner, Ally. His mate. You have way more say in influencing or advising his choices than me."

At my father's words; I smiled at Ally, giving her hand that was resting on my thigh another squeeze.

Still looking at my father, her mouth formed an 'O'

"Oh."

I bit back a chuckle at her reaction.

My girl doesn't understand the power she holds in this pack.

My father looked as if he wanted to laugh at her surprised expression but he held it back, choosing to shoot me a half-hearted glare.

"Have you told her nothing, Austin?"

Now Ally was the one looking at me expectantly.

I moved my hand out of hers and reached up to rub the back of my neck. "It never came up, I guess."

"You mean you never brought it up?" Skyler exclaimed, raising her brows at me. "Hell, man!"

I clenched my jaw and narrowed my eyes at the younger wolf, not taking too kindly to her tone. "Watch it, pup," I growled warningly and she sunk in her chair while Joey snickered next to her.

"Sorry," She mumbled and I rolled my eyes.

"Alright, bro, don't bite your student's head off. She has a point," Mark piped up. "Ally's been here, what? Almost a year now? She should know by now the influence she has."

"What influence?" Ally asked, her face scrunched up in adorable confusion.

Oh, baby. Please, quit it with that face or I'm gonna end up kissing you senseless in front of the entire pack.

Looking away from her pouty lips; I did my best to erase the thoughts from my mind and brought my attention to her pretty doe eyes.

"Being my partner gives you certain rights."

"Rights?" She asked, her face still set in that adorably confused expression.

I smiled at her and nodded. "Mmhm. If you believe that a situation that includes me should or could go differently you have full power to overrule an order given by the Alpha."

Her eyebrows raised at my words.

"Same goes for me," I added. "If I don't like something that's been decided on your behalf, then I'm allowed to intervene."

Ally blushed and she worried her lesser lip with her teeth.

I tilted my head at her and smiled, amused at her bashful expression.

She cleared her throat and spoke. "I didn't think that anyone could overrule an Alpha," She mumbled.

"It's Pack Law, dear," My father spoke up. "It's always been this way."

Ally nodded. "I see. So, what does this mean exactly? I have a say in what happens here?"

A few pack members answered.

"Yup."

"Uh huh."

"Yes."

"Of course," My father said. "Given that Austin agrees with your suggestion or command; you have total power regarding whether he should go or stay."

"Wow," Ally awed.

"It's pretty cool, right?" Trish snickered and shared a brief glance with Jace who smirked, shaking his head at their hidden joke.

Looks like they've made up from whatever they were fighting about.

"So, what do you think he should do, Ally?" Skyler asked.

"Yeah, Ally. What do you think?" Tanner jumped in.

It's clear the younger wolves were eager to see what Ally has to say. Actually, everyone was eager, they just weren't showing it that much. I could feel the anxiousness radiating off of everyone.

"Whoooa now," Mark silenced them. "Easy, little children. Let her think about this."

They huffed at the 'little children' title and leaned back in their chairs, shooting Ally apologetic glances

"Yeah, easy now," Anthony followed up. "They're gonna need to talk about this first. In private."

I shot grateful looks at my cousins. Mark replied with a wink while Anthony gave me a salute. They always knew what was called for.

"I agree," My father said, getting off of his chair. "You and Ally will need to have a discussion regarding all this, son. Akela said he's leaving in three days, yes?"

I nodded. "Three days."

"Well then you both best get to it. Out we go everyone."

Once everyone was cleared out, I got off my chair and walked to the little bar.

"Drink?" I offered.

Ally tilted her head. "You drink?"

I chuckled and poured out a glass of bourbon, holding it up for her to see.

"It doesn't even do anything except cause a little buzz for like a few minutes. Sometimes seconds. Shape-shifters can't get drunk."

Ally shook her head and got off her chair, making her way over to me.

"I learn something new every day," She muttered and to my surprise, took the glass from my hand, bringing it to her lips for a sip.

"Oh," She said, smacking her lips together. "That tastes exactly how it smells," She commented and I laughed, taking the glass from her.

"We have to make a decision right here and since you can get drunk I'm gonna keep this away from you."

I brought the glass to my lips and took a gulp, relishing in the slight bite it gave to my throat.

Ally watched me for a few moments before saying, "I've actually learnt two things today. You guys can't get drunk and I have some sort of, uhm… Influence, apparently?"

I set the glass onto the bar and nodded.

"Uh huh. I'm sorry I've never told you about it before."

And I really am sorry. I was so caught up in just being with Ally that I hadn't even thought of bringing up various bits of information of how things work around here.

"Now that I think about it," I said, "I haven't told you a lot. There's so many things about this world that you don't know and haven't seen. I mean, you've barely left the cabin! Fuck, I've been treating you like Rapunzel."

"Well, it's fitting," Ally said and I frowned in confusion.

"What is?"

"Princess," She giggled out and I couldn't help but smile at her, shaking my head.

"Well, Princess," I teased and reached up, pulling her closer to me, "you have an influence, yes. A great one at that."

"Tell me how that works," She said, twining her arms around my neck. "I mean, you've already covered the basics but I wanna know how it came to be."

I narrowed my eyes at her. "Are you trying to stall the conversation we're supposed to be having?"

She bit her lip guiltily. "Maybe."

I sighed and dipped my head, rubbing my nose against hers gently. "Baby, we have to talk about this. Now that you know you have a say in whether I go or not; it's best that you share your thoughts with me."

"I don't want you to go," She sighs. "But I stand by what I said. If going with Akela helps you then," She shrugs, "you should go."

I'm backed into a corner here.

On one hand; I don't want to leave with someone I don't even know. On the other hand; it seems to be my only chance at keeping my family safe from myself.

However, I still give Ally a choice, despite knowing that she won't ask me to stay. She knows me, and she no doubt already knows that while I'm uncomfortable with the entire situation, my mind is made up.

"Ally, if you don't want me to go…" I leave my sentence hanging, already predicting her answer.

As I expected, she shakes her head. "No, I won't ask you to stay. That would just be me being selfish and wanting you here with me," She says softly, wrapping her arms firmer around my neck by stretching up on her tiptoes.

In turn, I bring her closer to me by the waist, reaching under her top to caress the soft, delicate skin I expose.

"If I knew what was wrong and I knew how to handle it I wouldn't even consider leaving you," I murmur against her forehead.

She picks her head up and looks me in the eye, bringing one of her hands from around my neck to softly cup my jaw. "I know," She breathes.

"I trust my dad's judgement. I may not like the situation but I'm gonna swallow my uneasiness and give Akela a chance," I muttered, leaning into Ally's soft touch.

"What about his pack?" She asked softly.

I shrugged. "I'll be on their turf. I'll have to treat them as I would want them treating me if they came here."

Ally grinned.

"What?" I asked, confused by her expression.

"You're going to be all broody and mysterious."

"Why do you say that?" I tilted my head, a smile tugging at my lips.

"That's how you were when I got here. You didn't show me the real you until you trusted me."

I laugh and press a kiss to her temple.

"I didn't have much choice. You snuck up on me and I didn't even know that I'd began acting differently until my dad commented on it. He told me flat out that you're perfect for me."

"Really?"

"Mmhm," I affirmed and dipped my head down. "And I agree with him completely," I mumbled against her lips before taking them with mine in a kiss.

She pressed more firmly against my body, her hand still cradling my jaw while the other buried itself in my hair, gripping lightly. Her touch always has my heart skipping and my chest exploding with warmth.

I crept my hand up higher underneath her top, basking in the feel of her bare flesh beneath my fingers.

I gave her bottom lip a light nip before breaking away to lean down and pepper kisses down the side of her neck. She let out a sultry breath and leaned her head back, giving me more access.

"Your skin is so soft," I murmured in awe, my hand still caressing her under her top.

"Thank you?" She giggled cutely, causing me to smile against her neck, still pressing kisses here and there.

"Seriously," I said. "Really soft. Makes me wanna…"

"Oh!" She gasped in surprise when I brought my teeth biting down on her shoulder.

"…do that," I finished, bringing my head up to look at her.

I smirked at the blush that appeared on her cheeks and the up down heaving motion of her chest.

"Wasn't too hard, was it?" I nuzzled her behind the ear and she relaxed against me. I felt her shake her head against the side of my own.

"No," She breathed.

I turned my face to claim her lips in another kiss, my free hand sliding down her hip to squeeze her ass.

She giggled against my lips and I smirked in return, pushing my mouth against hers and flicking my tongue across her bottom lip. She opened up for me immediately and I groaned at the feeling of her tongue meeting with mine.

She was using both hands now on each side of my neck, holding me to her while I bowed her upper body back by pushing forward, kissing her harder and gripping her hips tightly, pressing her to me.

"Mmm…" She moaned and tilted her head when I broke away to rain kisses on her neck again, rougher this time.

"We're supposed to be…mmm...having a dis-discussion," She said in laboured breaths that had my dick twitching in my jeans as I ravished her neck.

I kissed my way up the column of her throat and breathed heavily against her parted lips.

"We are," I huffed, kissing her bottom lip and then sliding both hands down her hips. I bent at the knees lightly and cupped the back of her thighs, hoisting her up.

She gasped at the sudden action and secured her arms around my neck.

"So, let's take this discussion to my room, hmm?" I suggested and turned on my heel, carrying her out of the dining room and through the foyer.

"Austin?" She asked in confusion upon seeing where I was headed.

"My room at the ledges, baby," I clarified for her as she clung to me while I took long and purposeful strides towards the cabin doors.

I didn't even bother to check where everyone was and honestly right now with Ally kissing me lightly behind the ear and rubbing up against me like a cat in heat; I don't give a fuck.

Slamming her against the large wooden doors, we both hiss at the jolt of pleasure that sparks up from pushing our centres together. Through her jeans I feel the heat emanating from her against my own arousal and I just about lose it.

"Austin," She moans and cups my face in her dainty hands and pulls me into a hot kiss that has my knees almost buckling beneath me. Eyes shut tight and my mouth plundering hers, I blindly search out the paw imprint to get the fucking doors open.

I finally feel the imprint and I all but slam my palm against it.

The doors begin opening and I quickly secure Ally in my arms so she doesn't fall.

Rushing out, I hurriedly push the imprint on the outside and briefly break away from Ally's lips to make sure they close and when they do, I again slam her against them, claiming her more than willing lips.

My mind is fogged up with just AllyAllyAllyAllyAllyAlly but by some miracle, I remember that it's now around 21:00 and I had a destination in mind.

I groan, not wanting to pull away or let her go but I do anyway. She doesn't seem to like it either and lets me know it with a whine and a pretty pout, complete with a scowl on her face. Her arms are still around my neck and she pushes closer to me, leaning up to lick the shell of my ear before biting the lobe.

Whoa!

I growl and dip my head down, doing the same to her. She lets out a throaty moan.

Fuck, she's as eager as me…

"Ally, Ally, wait," I say through clenched teeth when she starts kissing up my neck. "Let's get to my room," I say and muster up the strength to hold her at bay.

I step down the few steps that leads to the cabin doors and along with the heat already coursing through my body, I allow the familiar feeling of another type of heat to consume me until I land on all fours.

"Up on my back, Princess."

She doesn't argue and takes the few steps down as I lower my body enough for her to get on.

"Hold tight," I say and take off into the forest towards the rocky ledges.

Ally POV

Austin and I are a tangled mess when we stumble into his room at the ledges. With a strong arm secured around my lower back and another cradling my face, he kisses me thoroughly with me returning the passionate action with an equal amount of intensity.

Austin kicks the door closed with his foot, still holding me tight against him.

"Lock it," He mutters against my jaw where he begins to place languid licks and nips, causing my eyes to roll into the back of my head.

I finally come to grips with what he said and I retract my hand from under his shirt, missing the warmth of his skin already, to reach out and clumsily lock the door behind him.

The audible click seems to clear my head just a tad, and I still in Austin's arms.

Wow!

Everything had happened so fast! At one moment we were discussing Austin leaving with Akela and then the next; we're panting and rubbing up against each other, not able to leave for his room fast enough.

Austin noticed my abrupt stillness and pulls away from my neck to look at my face.

His hazel eyes are now darker, but still containing those blazing flecks of gold. He takes in my shocked expression and concern flashes in his eyes. They turn a shade lighter right there.

"Hey, what's wrong?" He pants out, his chest still heaving up and down much like my own.

I gulp and shake my head because really, nothing is wrong. I'm just so overwhelmed with all these sensations coursing through my body right now.

Austin frowns and cups the side of my head, smirking after a beat. "Too much?" He teases and I blush, bringing my gaze down.

I gaze up at him for a few moments, taking everything in. This man who has made me feel so safe, taught me so much, helped me so much, he's told me he loves me, this man right here. How did I get so lucky? With him, with this world, with this family. How?

Too much? No, not at all…

I drag a hand down to rest on his belt buckle.

His breath hitches.

I tug his belt suggestively and shake my head in answer to his question.

"Not enough," I breathe and bite my lip, smiling up at him shyly.

His smirk has dropped now, replaced with wide eyes and an open mouth.

I giggle and reach up with my free hand, keeping the other on his belt buckle dangerously close to his crotch. I gently close his mouth with my index finger.

The action seems to snap him out of it and he shakes his head, looking at me cautiously.

"Not enough? What are you implying here, Ally? Because if it's nothing close to what I'm assuming then I'm gonna shrivel up and die, Princess."

I laugh and shake my head, smiling at him gently.

Come on, Ally. He's been asking for this for months. Gosh, you've always wanted to say yes! Do it now before you lose your boldness! And hello! He's leaving in three days!

The last thought causes a pang in my chest but I shake away the dread. Biting down on my lip again, I lean up on my tiptoes to reach his ear.

I whisper, "Shower with me, Austin."

His mouth falls open yet again and I would have laughed had it not been for the nerves finally knotting up in my stomach, catching up with me and shooing away my boldness.

"Wha-Fuck, really?" He exclaims, eyes still wide but now harbouring a bright look of excitement.

I breathe a sigh of relief and nod shyly at him.

"Oh, baby," He breathes out and swoops me up into his strong arms, bridal style. I squeal at the action and laugh as he makes a beeline for the bathroom.

Annnnnd that's a wrap!

Now, hey, whoa, before you guys kill me; DO NOT WORRY. The events of this chapter will follow in the next one. So calm down ;P

Alright, what'd ya'll think? Like it? Let me know by dropping me a review :)

So look, I'm gonna be focusing on Blood Moon for a bit so that means there won't be a chapter of R.D-J for a while… There's just so much I wanna do with this story and I wanna focus on it, okay? Are you guys okay with that? Again, let me know.

OH MY FREAKING FUCK PEOPLE DID YA'LL WATCH FIFTY SHADES DARKER?! Oh fuck me! Reading the books are amazing as it is but seeing all of those feelings, those characters, those places, all brought to life is simply amazing.

Jamie and Dakota did a brilliant job, I feel. The entire cast, actually. I loved every bit of that movie. Go check the soundtrack out too! Even if you aren't a fan of the trilogy, I'm certain that you will enjoy those tracks.

Alright, once again, what'd ya'll think of this update? Leave me some lovin' and let me know :P

I love you guys!

PEACE.
