Chapter 11: First Wave

(Kenzi's Pov – In the Car – Waking up)

The first thing I noticed, when I was waking up, was the feel of Dyson's lips on mine. I moaned into the kiss and waited for him to pull back, which he did. I opened my eyes to see that he was staring at me with a hungry look in his eyes. I suddenly felt like a lamb instead of a Halfling.

"How'd you sleep?" He whispered in a husky tone. His fingers were brushing against my face.

"Good." I whispered back to him. "Let's hurry and get our things then we can head back. I have a bad feeling." I cut my eyes around feeling as if someone or something was watching me.

Dyson frowned but nodded as he jumped out of the car with the keys in his hands and rushed around to my side. As soon as he opened the door, a group of wolves and vampires walked out from one of the alley ways. I hissed as I held onto Dyson. I shut the passenger side because if they wanted a fight then I would gladly give it to them. Dyson stood in front of me and I could feel his wolf at the surface because I was in danger. Nezi knew that he would keep us safe but she was waiting until she was needed. In fact, I hoped she didn't have to. Shifting could hurt the baby. I would rather die then hurt my child. With Dyson in front of me I peeked around his arms and noticed that there were more Vampires then wolves.

"Give us the abomination!" A vampire in front yelled to us.

Dyson growled and crouched ready to fight. "NEVA'!" He told them. "She's my mate an' if ye kill 'er den I shall kill ye." His accent came forth and surprised a couple of the wolves.

I decided that I couldn't let him have all the fun. Nezi's influence coming forth but the baby was fine. I side stepped Dyson and held my hand out in front of me. I lowered my head but kept my eyes on them. I watched in fascination as my hand started to glow bright red then a wall of fire appeared surrounding the small group that came to kill my child. I saw that the vampires turned to ash but the wolves were burning. One of the wolves however decided that it would jump through the flames and rushed at both Dyson and myself. Dyson half way shifted and lunged at the wolf that came at us.

I watched their fight out of the corner of my eye. Just as Dyson killed the wolf, I noticed that another was trying to get out of the fire. I snarled and pushed more fire at them. I heard a whimpering but I kept going. I would not let my mate or child be killed by the likes of wolves. I felt my body sway and when I heard a whimper again I knew it was Dyson. His arms were around me because I was about to fall. I lowered my hand and watched as the wolves burned. They weren't moving any more but it still didn't make me feel any better.

"Sorry, D-Man." I whispered as I leaned my head against his shoulder. "I couldn't let them hurt you or our baby." I placed a hand over his, that was over my stomach.

Dyson nuzzled my neck. "I understand." He whispered as he scooped me up. "Just don't worry me like that again." He ordered as he headed towards the loft. "I cant live without you Kenzi. You are my mate and without you I'm left with apart of myself missing. When I realized you were gone..."

"Dyson..." He shook his head.

"No,"He placed me on my feet when we stopped in front of the loft's door. "I need to tell you Kenzi. When I realized you were gone, I felt as though my world fell apart. I thought I had lost you." He cupped my cheek and bent down to kiss me.

I just moaned as I wrapped my arms around his and held on for dear life. Dyson opened the door without letting me go and walked me backwards into the loft. I smirked as I pulled away and yawned. Using my power to much caused me to be tired. Dyson must have noticed because he tilted his head to the side and pointed to the bed.

"Why don't you crash on the bed while I pack the stuff we need." He ordered in a husky tone. I knew he was only looking out for me and the baby.

Nodding, I layed down on the bed going without blankets. I pulled Dyson's pillow to me and wrapped my arms around it as I layed my head on the other one. I heard him chuckle but I was so tired that all I did was flip him off and go to sleep. I knew I was safe with Dyson here.

(Dyson's Pov – Kenzi Just Fell To Sleep)

I watched Kenzi sleep for a few minutes before I turned and picked up the phone. I needed to tell Trick that we had an attack at the loft. I dead-bolted the door, when we arrived, in order to at least slow down the attackers if they decided to strike again. Trick didn't waste time picking up the phone.

"Dyson?" I could tell he sounded breathless. "Is Kenzi ok?"

I couldn't help but frown. "Why do you ask, Trick?" I cut my eyes to Kenzi when I heard her moan and turn on her other side.

"There was an attack here at the Dal." Trick told me and I could hear voices in the back ground. "I was lucky that Tamsin showed when she did. Bo and Lauren just arrived back here, too. Do you want me to send Hale your way?"

"No, I can handle things from here." I told him honestly. "Anyway, Kenzi is sleeping and we'll be heading back in a few minutes." I looked out the door and found that it was getting darker already.

"Alright." Trick said into the phone. "Just be careful. I don't like this anymore than you do and I would feel better if you and Kenzi were back here."

"We'll be back shortly. I just need to pack a few more things." I told him hanging up and turning to start packing for both Kenzi and I.

I grabbed our tooth brushes and other personal things she might need. I packed her tampons even though she was pregnant because she would definitely need them, when the pup was born. I grabbed a handful of underwear and bras shoving them into the small suitcase. Kenzi wouldn't need any makeup because we were the only ones that would see her and I doubted she would want them when she went into labor. I have heard that it is quite painful. I was never more glad that I was a male instead of a female. I folded Kenzi and my shirts then placed them into the bag. I think she would like something sloppy since the Dal will be closed til further notice and the only ones that will show, should be trying to kill her. I even had Trick remove the mirrors.

I didn't want to see Kenzi and myself having sex every single time, even though it was rather special. Shaking my head to clear it, I hurried up with the packing. The sooner I got it done, the sooner I could get Kenzi back to the safe room. I know that Hale will come through but I haven't made my mind up about Tamsin. She's up to something, I just know it. I grabbed some pants for me and sweat pants for Kenzi. Her stomach will be growing quite fast from what we know so far. I wonder if Hale has found anything else out about Kenzi's pregnancy. I shook my head pushing those thoughts out of my head at the moment because I needed to get these bags into the car. Looking at Kenzi sleeping, I grabbed the two bags and rushed out the door throwing them into the trunk then running back up to the loft.

I hated that I had to leave her because if they had attack now instead of when we arrived they could have taken her but I was glad that Kenzi and I took care of the first wave. I knew there would be more until the pup was born. As soon as I entered the room I found that Kenzi was still sleeping. I smiled and felt my heart clenched. I hated to have to wake her up but we needed to go. I could already see the round stomach. She was lying on her side, with one hand under her cheek and the other clutching my pillow to her chest. One leg was bent higher then the other but they were both bent at the knee. Sighing, I knew that it was time to walk my sleeping mate.

Walking over to the bed, I leaned over and brushed her hair out of her face. "Wake up, sleepy head." I kissed her cheek then her temple. "We need to head back to the Dal." When I pulled away Kenzi yawned and blinked a couple of times. She smiled up at me like I was her favorite person then her eyes grew wide.

"Shit!" She yelled as she darted out of bed and rushed to the bathroom. I just stayed where I was because I knew that she would need to go to the bathroom before we left but I didn't knew it would be as soon as she woke up.

"You ok in there?" I asked standing up and heading over towards the couch.

I heard a sigh. "Yes, little butt made me have to pee!" She called through the door. "I almost peed on myself." She huffed, causing me to chuckle.

I heard the toilet flush and then the water running. When she came out her hands were on her hips, that were slightly wider then before. "That was not funny." She hissed playfully at me. "I nearly peed on myself. Talk about embarrassing." She mumbled the last sentence, as if I couldn't hear.

"Come on." I told her grabbing her and pulling her to me. "Trick called and asked if you were alright. It seems that they were hitting anywhere they thought you might be." I couldn't help but tighten my grip. "Also there was an attack at the Dal, but everyone was fine. No injuries." I added the last part because I didn't want her feeling guilty.

Kenzi sighed and nodded then looked around the loft, frowning. "Where's the bags?" She turned her eyes back to me. I then noticed that her eyes were darker then before.

"In the car." I whispered looking closer. "Have you fed lately?" I frowned as I searched her eyes for the truth.

Kenzi's must have forgotten because they widen. "Um..." She looked around. "I cant remember." She whispered as her hands shot to her throat and she backed away. "Stay back Dyson." Her voice was low and rough. I knew that she needed to feed.

"Come now Kenzi." I told her sternly, hoping she would listen. "You need to feed. Not only for you but the baby." I stepped closer and then her eyes popped open and I saw red around the iris.

"Not from you." She forced out in a hiss. "I wont feed from my mate."

I didn't let her argue any more as I shifted one hand and used my claw to draw blood on my arm. It would heal quickly because of it just cutting the first couple of layers. Kenzi started to shake but as soon as the first drop hit the ground I was frozen as Kenzi stiffened and then sashayed over to where I was standing. A smile graced her lips and the only thing I could do was lick mine. I had never seen her move like this and I couldn't even move a muscle. I just hoped that this wouldn't hurt the pup. Kenzi was in front of me before I could blink. She wrapped her hand around the back of my neck and urged me to move towards her. I closed my eyes because I knew what part was coming next. I felt her lips against my throat and tried to fight back a growl because it was rather sexy.

Suddenly, I felt her fangs pierce my skin but there was no pain. I then realized that she bit into my mating mark in order to keep me from feeling any pain. I wrapped my arms around her because of the utopia I was starting to feel. Kenzi jumped slightly and wrapped her legs around my waist as she drank. Her mouth never leaving my neck. I was about to tell her enough when she pulled away and started to lick the wound. I heard a purr coming from her but my own came out to match. When Kenzi pulled back I could see my blood running down the side of her mouth. I didn't think anything of it as I leaned forward and licked the trailing blood off of her then took her mouth with my own. Kenzi moaned as she rocked her hips into mine.

"Dyson..." Her voice trailed off in a question.

"Whut do ye want?" My wolf was trying to make his self known. I knew my eyes flashed golden.

Need Mate! My wolf howled in want.

Let her set the pace. I ordered him, earning a growl.

"You, Dyson, now!" Kenzi rocked her hips against mine. "No foreplay." Her eyes closed as she moving her hips.

"Then ye shall have me." I unzipped myself quickly and pulled her pants down.

She protested as I made her untangle her legs but when she saw what I was doing she didn't protest any longer. It didn't take long as I pulled her back up and placed her on the table, at her back. How we ended up in the kitchen I'll never understand but this is as good of place as any. She was bent over the table on her elbows with her legs spread wide. I could see her glistening wet as I licked my lips but she didn't want foreplay and I was only happy to oblige. Bending over her, I felt the tip of my shaft enter her and I couldn't help the snap of my hips. Kenzi arched her back in pleasure which could only mean she was liking what I was giving her. It didn't take long before I felt her walls start to quiver then start to milk me into my own orgasm.

I kept a strong pace but as soon as she was over I couldn't hold on any longer as I slammed into her once more and held still. Even though she was already pregnant I couldn't help but feel that I had to stay still for a few seconds. I her hear breathing return to normal as I nuzzled her neck. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her into a standing position. I didn't want to retreat from her warmth just yet. Kenzi sighed as she tightened her muscles causing me to growl. Kenzi chuckled as she turned her head. I captured her lips as I felt myself soften. When I pulled away, Kenzi whimpered and I couldn't help but smirk. I pulled her into my arms once more, giving her a passionate kiss then pulling away smiling down at her.

"You want to take another shower?" I asked hoping she would say no. I liked my smell on her. Told others she was mine.

Kenzi wrinkled her nose. "Should I?" Her eyes were full of questions.

"That is up to you." I told her kissing her nose. "I wouldn't mind but I think the others might." I smirked as her eyes grew wide.

"Dyson!" She slapped my arm then turned and ran to the bathroom. I decided that I would wait til she was done before I took mine. If we showered together, we wouldn't make it back to the Dal on time.

But that was fine by me.
