Bethany: His Little Wolf Chapter 82

Gamma Jack

We quickly make it to my floor and for once I'm grateful that I live alone, usually, I find it lonely but now I won't have to feel that again and I love the feeling it gives me. I take Ashley straight over to my bedroom, our bedroom, and go straight into the bathroom, and turn on the shower. I let the water heat up and go back into the bedroom into the closet and get some clean clothes out for both of us, I'll let him shower first but then I need one too. I didn't have a chance to have one this morning and hopefully, it will help this hangover of mine because now that things have calmed down a little my bastard head is killing me.

I put the clean clothes and a towel down on the sink unit and head for the medicine cupboard that I keep in here, I need some Advil and I need it now. "Why don't you take a shower first darling, there are some clean clothes on the side for you, they may be too big for you but once we've got you settled, I'll take you shopping for whatever you need ok?" He looks at me but I don't miss the look of shock on his face and I'm confused, luckily for me, he seems to notice this and carries on talking without me needing to ask.

"Once I'm settled... You mean you want me to stay?" I'm not sure how he could think differently, I mean I thought he had already guessed this but he's had a hard day so I'm not going to put too much thought into it instead I'm going to make sure that he knows that I want him and that he isn't going anywhere. I walk over to him and hock my finger under his chin then lift it so that he has no choice but to look at me.

"Of course, I want you to stay, you are my mate and I hate what has happened today I do but I'm so glad that I found you. I want you. I need you and you are not going anywhere darling."

His smile widens and I think it's the most that I've seen him smile since I met him and I love it, fuck he's beautiful! "Unless you want to leave? I'd never make you do something you don't want to." His smile widens some more causing my heart to pound in my chest. "I don't want to go anywhere; I want to stay with you." Ahh, thank fuck for that! I take another step closer to him slowly closing the gap between us and gently grab his chin between my thumb and forefinger.

"Thank fuck for that because I know this may be soon but now that I've found you, I can't imagine ever being without you." It's the truth and I want him to hear it, I don't want him to ever doubt how much I want him here. He nods while smiling and I use this moment to quickly take some Advil before my head explorers. "Are you ok?" He nods towards the tablets and I can't help but feel happiness at the look of concern on his face.

"I'm fine darling... just hungover!" I chuckle out the words and get rewarded with a small laugh from my mate and I swear it's the best sound that has ever graced my ears. I need to hear more of that and often. "Thank you, Jack."

"You don't have anything to thank me for darling." He suddenly has a shy smile on his face and it's got me intrigued. "What?" I ask him as I find his shy smile cute as fuck.

"Nothing." He tries to move around me but I'm not having any of that so I wrap my arm around his waist and pull him into me until we are chest to chest.

"Na huh come on spill!" I shoot him a wink and watch as his eyes turn black for a second and when I realize he's turned on by our body on body contact it takes everything in me not to rip his clothes off and bend him over the sink.

"You called me darling." My eyebrows climb my head in confusion but luckily for me, he Carries on. "I like it when you call me darling." He bites his bottom lip and at the same time, I feel all my blood and brain cells travel south. Fuck!

"Oh well, that's good to know because it just so happens that I like calling you darling and will be often." Before I even realize what I'm doing I lean forward and place a gentle kiss on his forehead and thank my lucky stars when he leans into the kiss.

"Go get yourself cleaned up, I'll just be in the bedroom, call me if you need anything." He nods his head before heading for the shower and I head into the bedroom to give him some privacy.

Ashley

Today has been both the worst and best day of my life losing my dad is the hardest thing I've ever had to go through but then finding my mate and knowing that he wants me feels so much better than I ever could have imagined it would. The quicker I get all this shit off of me the better so I make quick work of washing up in the shower and now I'm standing here while the water washes over me and my mind is spinning a million miles a minute.

I try to shake my head clear but all I can see is them, bastards, as they pin my dad down and beat him. The spineless fuckers couldn't fight him fairly because they knew that he would have ended them so they took him out the pussy way.

My dad's body on the forest floor is the next image to cross my mind and then the final straw is when I think of Kelly. She's lost both dad and me today. Does she even know about what happened? Does she know that our dad is dead?

She has to live a life of misery with our bitch of a mother until I can get her out of there and the thought of her being all alone there fucking kills me. I can feel myself crumbling and try with all I have to hold it in. I quickly shut off the water and step out of the shower before wrapping a towel around my waist and going to stand by the sink.

Everyone has always said that I look like my dad and as I stare at my reflection in the mirror, I really see it for the first time and it's too much for me to handle. All the anger and sadness that I've tried to keep inside suddenly spills out of me with so much force that I feel my legs trying to give out so I brace myself on my forearms but it's not enough and I feel myself falling fast but I don't hit the floor instead large hands firmly grip my hips and hold my body up.

"It's ok darling, I've got you." Jack's gentle voice fills my ears and I feel my body slightly calm but not enough as my body continues to shake with the force of the sobs that are wrecking me and my throat burns as they leave me. I can't speak, all I can do is try and concentrate on breathing but as I breathe in deep Jack's scent suddenly invades my nose and I quickly realize that I've been so lost today that I hadn't even picked up on his scent before.

How is that even possible? I try to concentrate on his scent to try and help me. It reminds me of being at a lake the water, the grass, and the trees and it is fucking heavenly but still, I can't calm down. "Breath sweetheart, that's it long deep breathes, you've got this!" I feel his hand gently rub my back before both of his hands come up to my shoulders and he pulls me up to his chest before spinning me around so we are facing each other and I just crumble into him.

I wrap my arms around his waist and his hand comes up to gently rub my back. "That's it let it all out baby I've got you." This man is incredible, he's only known me for a few hours. He's met me on the worst day possible when I'm an absolute mess and yet he's been nothing but gentle and kind with me since the moment he came to stand in front of me to protect me in the forest.

And I may be lost in grief but I can't deny that I'm already feeling for this man and even in all my darkness his loving words are making my heart pound with happiness.

I finally manage to get some control over my emotions and pull back a bit so I can look up at his face. "You ok darling?" He gives me a gentle smile while he continues to rub my back and I feel myself melt for him. I give him a gentle nod and smile and then he takes me by surprise as he grips my hips and hoists me up and sits me on the sink unit. He takes a hand towel that's on the unit and starts wiping my hair then he gently wipes my face clearing away the tears that have stuck to my skin.

And then it happens the moment that I will never forget for as long as I live, our eyes meet and then he leans down and gently presses his lips to mine and I swear fireworks burst behind my eyelids as our lips move gently. The kiss is full of passion and is absolutely delicious and I swear that this is without a doubt the best kiss of my whole goddam life.
