Rains POV
She is possibly the cutest thing my wolf whispers to me through our mind link. I’m not really in control of my body or my actions right now, my wolf side is and he is in heaven. We can’t help it. The moment I caught her scent outside the club I had to rush in, I was already going to visit Max to ask him to come to a pack counsel meeting, but my mate was here and I had to be near her. Two showers this morning hadn’t melted my need for her.
To see her in this low cut sexy as hell outfit has me salivating to lick those perfect tits. But, to have seen her with Max like that, all cozy whispering close, put me in a fucking rage. I immediately mind linked with him and demanded to know what the fuck he thought he was doing, he was the only one who knew Elle was my mate. Hell Elle didn’t even know what we are to each other. He let me know she had fallen on hard time’s and needed cash quickly.
My mate needed help and we would provide it. I’d take care of her cash flow problem and her renting lease myself, but she needed to feel like she was doing this on her own. I let Max know on a personal level he needed to keep his fucking paws off my mate or he wouldn’t have any left to run with, I also asked him to make sure she was an official employee at Midnights. No dancing just doing what she loved. I’d also double the pack’s monthly contribution to the club. He couldn’t say no to his alpha I knew that what I said was law it doesn’t fucking matter if this is his club or not. He is a part of my pack. He knows his place but I wanted to be less of an asshole about it.
Max declined my offer stating a few things: One I was a coward for not claiming Elle as my mate and telling her the truth, and two she would always be taken care of, anything for his future luna. That last part I liked and didn’t like about his tone. He sounded more sweet on Elle through our mind link than I was comfortable with however, I let it slide. But, that was Max he didn’t give a shit who you were, you always knew where you stood with Max one way or the other.
I needed time with Elle to get her to trust me before laying my past and pack bullshit and my heart on her. I so badly want a life with her, but I couldn’t be naive to think that we wouldn’t have a hell of a lot of obstacles in our way. The very first one being she was a human which other packs would eventually take advantage of, his weak spot and that she would be. Elle could still reject him. “No she would never” his wolf whispered to him. “Can’t you smell her arousal already? She wants us. Take her, take her now before others.” “Shut the fuck up. There is time for that.”
Rain pushed his wolf to the back of his human mind. He tried to focus on what Elle was rambling about a cute blush creeping up those perfect breasts of her’s making his dick instantly hard. Fucking great..
Oh, fuck she’s been talking and kind of rambling and I’ve been on auto polit answering her. Shit I hope she has not noticed. She doesn’t seem too. “So, Rain have you ever had a tarot reading before?”
“No, I’ve never been into hocus pocus stuff. Shit, I’m sorry I shouldn’t have said it like that, this just isn’t my vibe I meant to say.”
Fuck. Way to go insult the one thing she loves, great going, you’re going to do an amazing job winning her over Rain. Elle is looking at me with a raised eyebrow, she looks like she wants to slap me across the face but decides not too. Thank the moon goddess.
“You aren’t the first person to sit at my table and not believe, however I assure you, the cards never lie, I never lie, the messages that come forward are real and maybe you won’t like them, but I give you the truth whether you’re open to the truth or not is the question.”
Suddenly, I feel fucking nervous. Why.. I don’t know. I of course understand magic is real, that there are real witches in this world. Could Elle be one of those witches? A wolf has never in my knowledge been allowed to share the secrets of the witches, not any in my pack, not for generations.
Elle clears her throat and laughs a little, taking her deck of cards out from her purse she suddenly looks and seems so professional. As she begins to shuffle the cards in her tiny hands, I can’t help but see how beautiful and in her element she truly is. She takes a deep breath and I swear to shit there is a draft suddenly in the room that wasn’t there before. Instantly my wolf is awake and on high alert. As she looks up at me her energy is different she asks me if I have a specific question for the cards? I say, no. But, who is talking to me right now is different. It is not my sweet Elle, I am not scared of her, but I find myself and my wolf are both fascinated, if she is not a witch she must descend from one. There is power radiating from her. My wolf can feel it and he is impressed.
The cards start to pop out of the deck, one, two, and three. Elle tells me each card represents something about myself that I need to know and acknowledge to become the man I am one day meant to be. I must see my past, present, and future for what it is. Elle delicately flips over each card, past Nine of Swords, present King of Wands, and future The Lovers. As I’m observing the cards, I’m thinking to myself, Okay Rain this doesn’t seem too bad. Elle goes over each card, meaning and I have to say, they are kinda hitting home. Shit I see why people like this. She goes to the last card “The Lovers” and hesitates, she looks at it like she doesn’t want to explain. Elle tells me love is coming for me, a deep love, one that I can’t get away from even if I want too. This love will haunt me until my dying day. A part of me is excited when I hear this, the mate bond is forever, but she can’t possibly know the impact of what she is saying truly means right now.
Elle’s voice shifts back to it’s normal pitch and it’s like she comes back down to earth. She seems a little out of it, I can hear her heart beating rapidly, Shes taking deep breaths and so am I. She’s nervous and doesn’t know what to say, looking down at the table I notice our hands that have somehow found themselves intertwined at the table with my thumb rubbing the top of her hand. It’s magnetic, I feel the tingles going up my arms and I know she can too. It’s the bond, my wolf took over and reached out for her. Elle clears her throat and says, “I don’t know what this is between us, but I feel..” and that was all I needed to hear before my dumb ass went from zero to sixty way to take things slowly Rain.
I don’t know how much time has passed but, we had somehow gone from holding hands to me having Elle against the wall. Careful to keep my hands on either side of her, if she wanted me to touch her she was going to have to show me how much she wanted it. I couldn’t let the wolf side of me take over and scare the shit out of her. As my wolf ripped a howl from my chest, I knew I wouldn’t be able to walk away without something. I needed a release and I could sense so did she.
My face inches from her as her beautiful big blue eyes stared into my soul, not moving but waiting for me to strike, my teeth bared and a low growl coming from my chest once again I leaned in to smell her. That’s when I lost my self control. As soon as her arousal hit my nose I knew she wanted more, but I needed to be sure she understood what she was getting into. That doesn’t mean I couldn’t have a taste before I let her go. Running my tongue down her neck I could feel her shaking legs begin to buckle and I lifted her up with my hands naturally going to her round ass, as my hands dug in my claws came out.
Ugh, Not good. Get your shit together rain.
As I heard a wine come from her lips, I knew a part of me was hurting her. But, I couldn’t back away, my feet were planted into the ground.
Must mate, this is our mate. Need her now. I could hear my wolf in my head howling for a release. This is the mate we had waited for; we also needed her to bring strength to the pack.
But, we had time for that later. Time to tell her what she meant to us and what she would mean to the pack. Now, as hard as it was, I needed to let her go. I was fucking hurting her for christ sake. The trouble of mating to a human was that they were fragile, Nomad I whispered to my wolf in my mind, we must let her go. We’re hurting her. She doesn’t know about the mate bond, and she’s obviously a witch descendant but, we need to know more information about her before we start giving into the bond. Think of the council of witches, the attacks from the Omega pack, too much is happening right now within the pack to let this distract us.
Distract us? This is our fucking mate. You are an idiot and an asshole.
As I let her go, I could feel almost disappointment coming off of her in waves. The bond was one hell of a bitch. The connection we have is strong, stronger than I thought it would be. I looked at her, hurt now seeping out of her eyes.
Heaving a heavy sigh, I stepped back and let her go pulling out my alpha voice as best I could. “Right now we can’t.” “I’m sorry, so fucking sorry, it’s not that I don’t want you. “You’re beautiful, more beautiful than the words that I have. But- I fucking can’t.”
Elle looked at me like I had just broken her fucking world and at the same time she came out of a fever dream. “What? We can’t? You just? What the fuck is this?” Waving her arms around us in a grand gesture, you just, I saw.”
“What did you see?”
“Never fucking mind obviously I’m not good enough for you. “
“I never said that I said-”
A buzzing started coming from her purse and she held a finger up implying that now was not the time to be talking to her. I was fucking alpha and she was telling me to shut up. Wolves would lose a hand for such disrespect.
“Hey, mom, what’s up?” “What? They are at the house?” Ugh. I’ll be there in thirty minutes, let me get an uber, don’t answer the door. I’ll deal with that asshole.”
Elle begins to walk out and clucking her tongue between her cheeks she looks at me and says, “This was fun in all but stay the fuck away from me.” “You aren’t worth my time and it doesn’t matter what I saw I have bigger things to worry about than THIS”.
Honestly, I deserved it. But, also I was impressed with how she had just handled herself and turned on at the same time. No she wolf would ever challenge an alpha. I enjoyed this. As I watched her walk away I knew in my soul this would not be the last time I saw Elle. But, I also knew before I told her the truth of us, I needed to get my shit together and quick with the pack. Packs don’t always accept a human for a luna, and I’m barely accepted as an alpha as it is.
Elle’s POV: Chapter Six The Truth and Nothing But
Mom was drunk again which was of no surprise but, it was the panic in between her slurred words that got me. She never panics about anything. Not even almost being evicted was she nervous. She is always so sure about everything. Not this time. As Elle stepped harder on the accelerator of her car she thought back to her mothers words. “Elle, they’ve found us.” “You need to stay away from the house.”
Those words were a warning. Ron had found them. Two years ago now Elle had dragged her out of that horrible abusive relationship and just like magic she listened to her spirits about the house they were currently renting. It had popped up for rent at the perfect time. It became their sanctuary even if it was falling down, her mother wasn’t getting the shit beat out of her on a nightly basis anymore.
Elle hated Ron and everything Ron was. After, the night she had met Ron that was the first time she had heard her voices become lounder and share a warning, “Stay away, he is of the shadows, he is the decay of magic.”
Elle never understood what it meant but, she did understand shortly after he moved in things began to happen that were more than strange.
When Ron was around Elle it was as if he sucked all the energy from her. She always felt drained or weak. He never let her or her mother speak, he always had to have the last word on everything, it never mattered what it was, and if you disagreed, he let you feel it.
Ron never hit Elle only because her mother would step in and take the beatings for her. Elle had never let herself let go of the guilt she felt for that. That guilt that gnawed away at her was one of the reasons she felt like she had to stay with her mother despite her drinking.
Nerves going every which way inside of her Elle felt like she would explode, there was shattered glass crunching under her feet as she stepped inside. Listening for any signs of her mother she walked slowly inside. As Elle rounded the corner she spied her mother sprawled out on the floor face down. Running towards her she screamed for her mother.
“Mom, are you okay?! MOM.”
Her mother looked as white as the clouds she had never seen her look so white, as she checked to see if she was breathing Elle realized she wasn’t. It was at that moment Elle felt something wet on her hands, she looked down expecting to see blood, no what she saw was dark green liquid that looked like it was coming from her mother.
What the fuck? But, Elle didn’t have time to process this, her mother was breathing. She began to dial nine one one and start CPR. After all, she didn’t know how long her mother had been like this. Right as Elle began chest compression’s one single tear slid from her cheek and dropped onto her mother. To Elle her mothers body began to glow. Glow a greenish color all around Elle the air whooshed around them and Elle skirted backward terrified of what she couldn’t believe was happening right now. Just as quickly as it began it ended and Elle heard the cracking of what sounded like bones.
Elle flinched, unable to move from her spot hiding her eyes as a hand moved onto her shoulder. Jumping up and screaming “Stay Away From Me.” She realized it was her mother.
“Elle it me. It’s mom. I’m okay. You healed me. You have a gift. A great one. There is so much to explain but- right now we have to go. We have to go right now before it comes back. “
“Before what comes back mom? What the hell just happened? What did I just do?!”
Elle was on the verge of a panic attack. She could feel the nerves in her system coming alive and the churning of her stomach like she could vomit any minute. Quickly taking a look around the house she knew her mother was correct they did need to leave. What ever did this if it wasn’t Ron meant business and they meant to kill her mother. Finding the courage to get on her feet, Elle with shaking legs stood up and took the bag of clothes her mother was trying to give her. How her mother had gotten up to pack bags for them in the time Elle could hardly get up herself was beyond her at this point. Elle suddenly felt horribly like she might faint at any moment. Her mother looking at her quickly helped her to the car. “We need to get to the wise ones, Elle we must go, you need to rest, we’ll be protected within the covens.”
“Mom I still don’t understand what the fuck is happening..”
As Elle began to go to the car she felt her knees begin to shake and her legs almost buckle. Two strong arms grabbed her right before she went down and saw only darkness Elle only heard the words, “I’ve got you my angel.”
