Chapter 13
Pedro~~
Vasile had called me away to head one of the perimeter patrols. I was very reluctant to leave Kaitlynn's side. But Vasile needed me; I would answer my Alpha's call, even if I was more dominant than him. I kissed my sleeping mate. She smiled and reached for me, I let her pull me in. Kaity snuggled against me, ugh I wanted to stay. My world lay before me snoring softly.
Suddenly there was a noise coming from the door. I growled and protectively put my arm over Kaity. Then I realized that it was just a knock at the door, no danger. I relaxed and kissed Kaitlynn's forehead. I removed myself from the warmth of her body. I slipped on some shorts and answered the door. It was Fane, "Are you ready?" I huffed at him. "One minute." I said. I quickly got dressed and left the room.
Kaity~~
I woke up the next morning. The sun was shining and full of possibilities. I turned over to look at my handsome mate. But he wasn't there. Dam I thought, well we would have more time together later. Until then, I have an actual job to do! I jumped out of bed and quickly sat back down. My body ached all over. It was uncomfortable but pleasing. The memories from last night came in like a wave. I sighed and slowly got back up. I gingerly worked my way to the bathroom. I took a long soothing shower. It helped with the aches.
After I got dressed, I went down to the kitchen for some breakfast. There were some members of the pack but none of my immediate friends. I could understand that Jaque is tired from the pregnancy. Sally was probably busy checking up on pack members. And Jen had her hands full with Thia. So I grabbed some toast and went to the infirmary.
I pulled out my keys, found them in a box with my name on it. It was right outside my door, I practically tripped over it! I tried two keys before I got the door open. Inside was a large room with a few cots. Straight ahead was a door, on the door was a plaque. The plaque read "Dr. Kaitlynn Hebert". I smiled remembering that I am married now. I walked into the infirmary. I closed the door behind me, just enjoying my new role. I skipped to "my office". It was a decent size. There was a large oak desk, with a black chair behind it. I sat in the unexpectedly comfy chair. I powered up the computer. It looked new and up to date, high tech. Vasile really pulled out all of the stops.
Pedro~~
Everything was quiet on patrol. It was pretty boring but very serious. I wanted to be by my mate's side but Vasile needed me. I wanted to show him that I was loyal; I have to be the best pack member I can be. Even if that means I have to sacrifice time with my mate. I wonder what she is doing. I reached out to her mind through our connection. She was awake and very happy. I lingered just enjoying how happy my gift made her. Hey no snooping! I laughed. I'm sorry Luna. I was enjoying being here. ~~Well I guess I forgive you. I do love your gifts! I feel like I belong, like I have a place. ~~That's what I wanted. This is your home, your family. Love and happiness came over me in waves. I'll see you soon my Luna. I love you. ~~I love you Pedro.
I withdrew from her mind. I had to focus on the task at hand. We had been walking for some time when an unfamiliar scent crept up my nose. I pulled my ears back, the fur on my back raised, and my lips pulled back. Fane immediately came up beside me to pick up the scent to follow. We took off in a sprint, heading North East.
Kaity~~
I was going through medical files when there was a knock at the door. "Hey we just wanted to check up on you." Sally stuck her head in. "And we missed you." Jaque followed Sally in. "Um, no we wanted details of our girl's first night with her wolf man! So dish and don't think of being stingy on the details!" Jen demanded as she walked in. "Jen let it go." Sally demanded.
I laughed at the scene before me. In the end when the dust had cleared, they all sat there waiting for me to speak. "You guys honestly expect me to tell you intimate details of the best night of my life!" I giggled. Still they sat in silence their Cheshire cat smiles were so infectious.
"Well, it was terrifying at first. But of course I knew he would be gentle. He went slowly while I felt like having a panic attack. When we first got into the room, I was so nervous. I easily became distracted by the beauty of our bedroom. Ugh I felt so embarrassed when Pedro pointed it out to me. I finally came back to humiliated reality and got back to business." I said. I went on giving details of my night with my mate. Jen seemed thrilled about the information. Something about, some new ideas for Decebel and her. What have I done? I chuckled quietly. I blushed telling such secret and intimate things. But they were like my sisters now. I was happy to share some gossip and learn that they had similar experiences. Except Jen, she was the only one to die on her wedding night. But that made her story the most interesting.
Fane~~
We had just gotten back to the mansion and went to the library. The Alpha was preoccupied at the moment. We sat there discussing what we had come across. Suddenly I started to hear Jacque's thoughts loud and clear. It was like she was broadcasting them to me. I don't think she even knows that she is doing it. Then I realize what they thoughts are about. I sat there in horror as She, Jen, Sally, and Kaity spoke of their sexual encounters with their mates. I slowly scanned the other four men. Each was avoiding eye contact from each other.
Even through Pedro had Brown skin complexion he was obviously blushing and a little upset. We were all listening in on the same conversation. We were hearing some very private details about one another.
Pedro~~
I knew I wasn't the only one humiliated at that moment. But I felt a bit upset at the other men hearing about my first time with my mate. But I also knew that they were all going through the same thing. I had to end this and quickly. Well, my little minx I can stop you. I reached into her mind, imagining myself with her. Caressing her in ways only I knew. Making sure she felt every touch and kiss. She became lost in the pleasure I was creating. Then I could make out that she let out a moan for all to hear. She snapped out of it. *BAM* up went her walls shutting me out. Well I was definitely in trouble, did I go too far?
Kaity~~
"Oh." I moaned out loud. My eyes shot opened. The girls were staring at me in disbelief. I slammed shut my mind. The rage fired up quickly. How could he embarrass me like that? I am his mate and he would treat me in such a way! "Are you all right?" I stopped self ranting. I looked over at Jacque. I could feel my cheeks burning up and the anger continued to boil over. "I'm sorry you guys saw that. Please don't make any remarks Jen. I am not in the mood." I said as I looked away. Jen had opened her mouth but shut it quickly. "You know Kaity I don't think he meant for it to that far.
It turns out all of our mates got embarrassed by our conversation." Sally tried to comfort me. "Yeah Fane's exact thoughts were that I was broadcasting like a radio station. I guess the guys all heard the same stuff. They can barely look at each other." Jacque pointed out. "Did any of them feel upset enough to make you hot and bothered in front of other people? Did they?" I yelled. I turned away from them. I felt unsure as to whether I should punch a wall or cry.
"Look guys, I'm sorry." I turned back towards the somber looking group. They gave me a weak smile. "I'm going to go for a run. I'll meet up with you guys later." I hung up my coat and left the office. I went in to the locker room and put on some capris, a tank top, a light zip-up sweater, and sneakers. I looked back at the mansion, no one was following me. Good, I need some space and cool air. I took off at a sprint trying to get some distance between me and my jackass mate.
Pedro~~
The guys were staring me down with disapproval. Yup I went too far. *RING RING* my cell phone rang. It was Vasile; he was ready for our report. This was for the best to let Kaitlynn cool down.
The patrol group walked into the conference room and took a seat. We were all still quiet from the incident ten minutes ago. Vasile looked at us wondering what was going on. But the business at hand was more important. "So what do you have to report?" Vasile inquired. Fane was the one to speak up. "When on our rounds we came across an unsettling scent. It wasn't one of our own either. It wasn't any pack that I have met. The smell was new and foreign. We found it by the border." He finished.
Vasile seemed unflinching at this news. "Do you think we have a problem?" He asked his son. "I think we should keep an eye on it. Maybe some overnight watch for a few days. Just until we know what or who is coming into our lands." Fane said. "I agree with Fane. Anyone like to join the overnight watch?" Vasile asked.
I stood up, a little too quickly. "I'll join the overnight watch." I said slowly. Costin, Decebel, and Fane all stared at me. I knew what they were thinking. They thought I was avoiding Kaity. Well first of all it's none of their business and secondly they were right. I didn't know how to face her. My instincts and my wolf said to go to her. But common sense said give her some space. So I would stay on the overnight watch until I thought she was ready. Or I was ready for her wrath.
