Chapter 136 -
Chapter Nineteen
Slipping from the bed, I made my way over to the bathroom. I didn't bother turning on the light, my vision was already sharp enough.
I moved over to the sink and turned on the water, adjusting the temperature until the water was warm. Reaching beneath the sink, I grabbed the basin and put it into the sink, adding in a squirt of the healing oil that I kept on the counter for those particularly rough training sessions. Everly could probably use the slight healing it would do for her. Especially after what I had done to her, but fuck she made me feel like I couldn't control myself.
Watching her come again and again on my tongue, my cock. It had been the most beautiful thing that I had ever seen and now she wore my claiming mark on her throat.
She was mine and I was so damned happy about that.
I looked at my reflection above the sink, taking in the slowly healing scratch marks on my shoulders and arms. A part of me wished that I wasn't a shifter or a demon so that I would have them longer. A visual representation that she was mine.
That we were together.
Looking down at the swirling water, I grinned to myself. If I kept thinking about it, I was going to go in there and fuck her again. That wasn't what she needed but damn if I wasn't ready to go again.
I let out a sigh, turning off the water. As I looped a towel over my forearm and grabbed a washcloth, I mind-linked with Sid.
'Sid, I want you to come to the pack house tonight.'
'Are you sure? I want you and Everly to have your time together.' He answered back with a firm
brush of his mind touching mine.
'I'm sure. You and I have some things we need to discuss.'
'I'll be there soon, boyfriend in law. Take care of our girl.'
'Boyfriend in law?' I asked, trying not to laugh. It was dawning on me just what having Sid
around was going to be like.
'I'm not mated to you yet, alpha.'
'Yet.'
Ending the mind-link, I shook my head. I was going to have my hands full with both him and Everly. She hadn't said it yet, but I knew that they were a package deal. I'd felt it the moment that I had seen the two of them together at Moonlight.
Now that I had claimed her, I could feel him. But I didn't understand how yet. When he got here, that was what I was going to figure out. I knew that it should have bothered me that Everly
wasn't just mine. It didn't, it felt like it was fated.
She was our girl, just like Sid said.
But it just felt right, knowing that I would be sharing her with him. He was a dragon and it was just what they did, I had that in me too. It was watered down and to be honest, my wolf was stronger than both that part of me and my demon. It was still there though and everything about this felt like it had always been how it was supposed to be. That everything was leading up to this moment.
Picking up the basin of steaming water, I headed back to my mate in the bedroom.
My eyes traveling over Everly's body. She was spread out on the bed, her blonde hair fanned out over my pillows and her face was relaxed with sleep. My claiming bite mark on her throat was red and angry looking. It was beautiful though and pride swelled up in my chest. She was mine. Setting the basin on the nightstand, I dipped the washcloth into the water, ringing it out before I sat down. The bed dipped beneath me as I carefully cleaned the claiming mark on her throat. Just those tender touches sent sparks of pleasure through me.
Everly stirred in her sleep, letting out a breathy little moan. The sound shot straight to my dick and I bit my lower lip. My eyes closing as I tried to breathe through it, my demon clawing at my skin to take what I wanted.
She didn't need to wake up with me between her thighs, feasting on her pussy again until she passed out.
Pulling the wash cloth away, I dipped it into the water before carefully cleaning Everly the rest of the way. I patted her skin dry and then took the basin back to the bathroom. Dumping out the now cold water, I rinsed the basin out and dried it off before tucking it back beneath the sink. I hung up the towel and washcloth on the metal bar by the shower before heading back into my room and picking up our clothing. Taking them over to the black plastic hamper and tossing them inside. Later, I would take them down to the laundry room in the basement of the house and clean them up. I'd also have to find some clothes for my mate in the morning. I couldn't have her going to breakfast naked, though the idea was appealing.
The rest of the pack didn't need to see her like that.
Climbing into bed, I drew the covers up around Everly as I sat with my back against the
headboard. The sheet draped over my lap, I grabbed my phone, pressing the button on the side before entering in my password. I swiped my phone across the screen, looking through my messages.
One was from Olivia and I felt a twinge of guilt. How was she going to take me being mated to her daughter? Would this ruin the friendship that she and I'd had since we were teenagers?
I hoped it didn't. She knew what it was like when you found your mate and even though Everly was her daughter there was no way that I could reject her. Not that Olivia would want that. She already knew the pain a rejection caused.
I responded to a couple of messages, including an email regarding the meeting that I'd had with Alpha Timothy earlier. He had included a picture of his daughter in the email. I didn't click the image. I had my mate now. I didn't want anyone else but Everly now, and maybe Sid. Depending on how things went.
I sat my phone back onto the nightstand as a knock came from my bedroom door. It was Sid, I could feel him. Feel the faint whispers of his excitement. Sitting up in the bed, I made sure both Everly and I were covered up before I called out for him to come in.
