Chapter 4: The Morning After
I woke up to the feeling of light circles on my lower stomach and gently kisses being placed on my neck. I couldn't tell if this was real or not because I was in that magical, misty place between awake and asleep. But the slow roaming of hands brought be back to reality. I looked up and met a pair of dark eyes with my own.
"Morning, Lily." I wasn't even given time to respond because his lips came down to mine in a and sweet as can be. His hand gently caressed my cheek, before pulling away and planting a small kiss on my nose.
"Morning Ren. Is this what i'm going to wake to every morning?" I asked as I snuggeled closer to him.
"If thats what make you happy, then yes." He wrapped his arms around me drowning my body in a soft warmth.
"You make me happy. You always have, I just didn't show it very well." I whispered into his chest. I 'm truely happy and no other person can make me think otherwise.
"Well, we have all the time in the world to make up for it. I will collect my atonement later. But seeing as we have training today, it will have to wait." He sat up and headed to the bathroom. "Coming?" I knew what he had in mind and it didn't sound bad, a shower would feel really nice on the sore muscles and I couldn't go around smelling like this either. I'm proud of what we did, but i'm not ready to flaunt it.
By the time, I stretched and got out of bed, the bathroom was already flooded with steam from the shower. I could see Rens outline from the other side of the sliding door to the shower.
"Come on, Lily. I don't bite and i've already seen all of you." I blushed furiously at the comment, but I stepped inside and was greeted with the sight of Rens bare back. The water droplets rolling down his figure to the end of his back and lower. His muscles were tensing and untensing under the warm water.
Lost in my thoughts, I hadn't noticed that he was staring at me. "Like what you see?"
"Maybe." All of a sudden he pushed me up against the wall and kissed me. It was as if my body was running on instinct because as soon as his lips glided across my bottom lip, my mouth opened up to him and tangeled his tounge with mine. His warm hand rubbed the tense and sore muscles of my back before gently caressing my breasts.
He squeezed some body wash into a lofa and started washing my body, starting at my neck and working his way down to my thighs. As he rinsed off the foamy wash, he gently kissed the clean skin, making me shiver with little delights of pleasure.
I loved the feeling of his hands and lips on me; touching me, feeling me. Just as i'm getting ready to reach my nirvana, theres a knock on the door. Damn it! There better be a good reason for this.
"Who is it?" I shout from the shower.
"Its me." A female voice called from the other side of the closed door. "Bryn. Remember me? Your beta?"
I was a little quirked at the comment. "I know who you are and I can do without the sarcasm. What wrong?"
"Nothing. Its just that you're going to be late for training if you guys don't get a move on in that shower of yours."
"Okay. We'll be out in a few minutes. Go back downstairs and wait for us." I called out. Without a single word she scampered off. Ren and I finished our shower in peace without anymore interuptions. I washed my hair and body before toweling off and heading back to the room while Ren finished up.
I put a fresh bra and pair of panties on, along with a pair of white shorts and a back lace racerback tank top. It was going to be a long training session, but it was a much needed.
I left the room and headed downstairs for some breakfast. I found most of my pack sitting at our kitchen table munching on pop-tarts and drinking coffee. I look over at the coffee pot and standing there shoveling sugar and cremer into their coffee is none other than Bryn and Ansel.
"I honstly don't understand how you two aren't diabetic yet."I told them as I made my way over to the coffee with a mug at hand.
Taking a small sip from her coffee and wrinkling her nose, she started putting more cremer into her coffee before speaking "Not all of us are as badass as you, Fey, or Dax." After more cremer and sugar, she was finally satisfied. I swear if they were humans, they would be diabetics.
"As I said before, thats why i'm your boss." I said taking a sip from my coffee. Man. I love coffee. I should find a shirt that says I love coffee.
"So whats on the agenda for today Mighty Alpha?" I hated how she used her sarcastic tone with me. Its not excatly my fault we have to train today.
"Oh, I dunno. Maybe a nice long run and some hunting exercises just to finish it off. And maybe if we can go a while without complaining, we can go hunting for some deer later for lunch."
They all looked up at me with joyus expressions and huge smiles. Yeah now you guys wanna go training.
Suddenly Ren walked in and looked a little weirded out from all the wide-eyed looks I was getting. He walked over to me and asked why I was getting those looks.
"I told them that if they didn't complain, we could go deer hunting after." he smirked at me while wrapping his arm around my shoulder, kissing me on the top of my head.
We finished up breakfast and began a long and hard training session. We ran five miles and did about 20 different hunting exercises. After about the 15th exercise, Even Ren and I were starting to hurt a little bit. Just a little. I looked at the rest of my pack and they were dripping with sweat and breathing harder than ever.
I cut the amount of time we do each exercise from 10 minutes to about 5. About a half hour later, everyone was about ready to pass out from the heat and intense training.
"I think we all could use a break. Bryn" she looked over at me "Can you keep the rest of the pack in line if Dax comes with Ren and I to get the deer?" she looked at me and nodded, before her stomach grumbled from hunger.
Ren, Dax and I shifted into wolf form and headed to the meadow that wasn't far from here. I know Ren wanted to go hunting alone with me, but I couldn't take down a buck big enough for all of us to feed. By the time Ren and I got there, Dax had taken down a 15 point buck. BY HIMSELF! Well..I don't see why we couldn't just send Dax out for the food. He dragged the freshly killed buck out to the side so we could get more.
Ren and I took down 9 point buck and drug it back to where we put Dax's kill. We brought the freshly killed meat back and were welcomed by a bunch of starving wolves. As always, the Alphas ate first and so followed all the others. Ren and I took the smaller of the 2 because there was enough meat on there for us and I knew there would be plenty for the others on the larger buck. I never thought that deer meat would taste this good. I loved the ribs; tender, moist mouth-melting meat.
After dinner, we ran back to our houses and took long showers, relieving large aches in our muscles. Finally after I didn't smell like dirt, sweat and dried deer blood; I recieved a message from Lumine, telling me to gather the pack and meet them at Eden. I fowarded the message and next thing I know, I have everyone dressed and smelling fresh and clean. We piled into 2 different cars: Dax's jeep and Ren's shiny black cheerokee.
I wonder why they want us there at this time of night. Guess we're about to find out..
This is the end of the updated chapter. I know its a little bit dumber than my other chapters, but I am at a little bump in the road right now, so if you guys have any thoughts about how this should go feel free to leave them in the reviews. Thanks for reading and I love you all! :))
