Chapter 9
Kaity~~
Please wake up. Mm five more minutes... Who would dare wake me up before ten! Please my Luna, show me your beautiful eyes. Who is that? Why is my hand being squeezed? "Sally I think she's back!" I heard a man say. "Kaity open your eyes!" the man demanded. "Ugh, just a little longer." I whined. I opened up eyes and there was a face inches away from my face. "Whoa, back up!" I said. Sally and Pedro gave me a little space.
I sat up slowly, Pedro was still tense. Everything came back to me. Werewolves, mate, hunters, electricity, and then I blacked out. "What happened?" I asked. Sally spoke, "One of the hunters tazed you. It did some neurological damage. But I fixed everything." "Well, I'm okay now, why are you still tense?" "You've been in a coma for a month!" Pedro replied sadly. He was in pain. Wow, one month? No wonder he was hanging on by a thread. I needed to show him I was okay, that he needed to calm down. I grabbed his hand and gave him the sweetest smile. He searched my eyes and my mind making sure i was okay.
He took a deep breath. Pedro lunged forward and pulled me against his body. Pedro wrapped his arms around me gently but firmly. He placed his lips over mine, claiming them with his own. I couldn't help myself. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back. I felt his tongue skim my lips, I happily opened my mouth to allow him entrance. He deepened the kiss and held me tighter. It felt amazing! The rest of the world fell away, just leaving us. My body hummed and tingled from all of the sensations he was creating with his lips. I never wanted this moment to end. He pulled away, I tried to keep his lips. But he was much stronger than me. He pried me off of his body. I searched his mind but he shut me out. Pedro gently placed me down on the cot, turned around, and walked out of the room!
I sat there in shock, staring at the doorway, looking but not really seeing. Jen and Jaque had witnessed the kiss and stood there waiting silently. I was waiting for Pedro to come back, along with the other piece of my heart. "Wow. Can I just say, sexiest kiss I have ever been able to witness! I mean I was drooling!" Jen sighed. I felt too shell shocked to my core to speak. He had literally kissed me speechless. Jen jumped for joy.
I finally gave up, he wasn't coming back. "Did he seriously give me a mind blowing and breathtaking kiss? Then just walk away?" I asked. "Yes, he did. Pedro has been by your side, night and day, for the last month. He's on edge. That's all." Jaque suggested. Jen opened her mouth and Jaque elbowed her. "Let her speak." I told Jaque. Jen recovered and pinched Jaque's arm. "Ow." Jaque yelled. "I think he is still upset about the hunter thing." Jen said. "But he shut me out of his mind..." I pointed out. "Okay, that's weird. When all of that awful stuff happened to us, our mates were stuck up our butts." Jen said. My heart dropped. Why was he keeping himself from me? Why wasn't he up my butt? Did his feelings change for me? Sally placed a hand on my shoulder. "Give him some time. He is having a hard time with your accident." she pointed out. Fine, I would give him his space. But how long would it take?
It had been two weeks since "the kiss." I had tried running into Pedro, but he was always busy. Fane said Pedro was running patrols and combat training. So I tried waiting. I didn't have a place in the pack. They accepted me but I felt useless. I spent a lot of time with Jen, Jaque, Sally, Alina, Peri, and Elle. They were amazing women! They were always there for me. But what I needed, what I wanted, what I craved was my mate! Only he could take away my pain. I checked every day to see if Pedro had lifted his walls. It was the same every time, still firmly in place.
I spent the third and last week on edge. I felt like my skin was crawling. With each day, I grew more and more restless, and so did my wolf. By Saturday, the thread I had been hanging onto snapped!
Pedro~~
I stood in the library staring into the roaring fire. Fane and Decebel wouldn't leave my side. I was near my breaking point. It wasn't natural for mates to be separated. I didn't want to rush her again. Not like I did the last time we got close. This led to her being captured by the hunters. She was electrocuted and in a coma for a month. So I kept myself away from her. I would wait until she was ready. It had been three weeks since she woke up, three weeks since we shared our first kiss. I was starting to come apart! The girls kept me updated on how Kaity was doing. She was hurting and she wanted me. I wanted to run to her. I refused to let myself knowing how overwhelmed I would make her feel. I had been short with my pack mates several times. During training I was very rough with my opponents. My wolf was enraged with me. How much longer could I hold out?
Kaity~~
"Ahhhhh!" I screamed. Jen, Jaque, and Thia jumped. Thia started to cry and Jen soothed her. "What's wrong?" Jaque asked. They were sitting at the kitchen table. "I'm sorry Thia, but I can't take it anymore! I'm tired of waiting. I want my MATE!" my eyes were glowing. I walked out of the kitchen to find Pedro. I reached out to him through our connection. I started banging on the wall, not wanting use dominance over him, and screaming LET ME IN!
Pedro~~
Fane was talking when I felt Kaity. She was pissed! She was trying to get through the wall I made. Kaity is not a weak she-wolf, so she was going to get through either way. She was radiating dominance and getting closer! Decebel and Fane had been blocking the door, while Fane had been talking. They suddenly fell silent, like they knew something I didn't know. They backed away from the doors just in time.
Kaity~~
I had located him in the library. I started running to him. I slammed open the doors and yelled "LET ME IN!", as I tackled Pedro to the ground. I sat on top of his chest holding his arms down. He just stared at up at me as if he was in shock. I checked our connection to see if he had opened up. There were those dam walls, weak, but still standing. I growled at him and slapped his chest. He responded by sitting up, which made me slide into his lap. "Well?" I demanded. Pedro rolled his eyes and opened up partially. There were so many feelings to sort through. He felt relief to have me in his arms again. He felt ashamed for everything that had happened to me. The pain he felt was unbearable. I wrapped my arms and legs around him tightly. I pushed open our connection fully. I gave him everything I had. I shared my entire life with him, how much I loved him and the future I wanted us to have.
