Healing His Broken Luna.... Chapter 105

Chapter 18 - Unexpected

Lukas POV

I watched as she took in the size of the bathtub in her bathroom. I remembered the first time I saw her bathing in a water trough. I wanted to talk to her about how she ended up as a prisoner at Sapphire Moon and what happened to her but didn't want to upset her. Donnatella was reluctant to talk about it.

I left her alone to settle in and went back to my room to take a shower and get to bed. An hour later, I was just about to doze off when I felt Luke stir. I heard the door handle to my room twist open and her scent filled the room. I lifted my head and she walked over towards the bed.

"Syble? Is everything okay?" I threw my legs over the edge of the bed and sat up. Instinctively I wanted to stand up, but I always sleep naked and didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable. I kept the blanket wrapped around my waist.

She stepped closer to me and I saw her eyes had shifted to that liquid silver color. I could feel her wolf reaching out to me. Luke let out a yip and wanted me to wrap my arms around her.

"Storm?"

"Mate." She replied and I had to fight to keep control over Luke. They would have surely mated and marked each other.

"Storm, can you talk to me?" I asked.

"I need you." She said as she pulled her shirt up over her head and dropped her panties to the ground. She stood completely naked, no underwear, no nothing. My hungry eyes took in her small frame, trailed over her curves and hardened pink nipples. I felt the urge to take one in my mouth and had to struggled to keep a howling Luke from pouncing on her. Her wolf was trying to seduce me, us.

She moved closer and stood between my knees. My hands instinctively grabbed on to her hips and my head was at the same level as her neck. I leaned in and took a deep breath at the crook of her neck. I could feel myself starting to get hard.

"Storm, I don't think Syble would want this right now." She let out a soft whimper and Luke was upset that I was making her feel unwanted or rejected.

"I can't sleep, I need to be close to you." She pouted. I loved hearing her voice.

"You can sleep in here with me. It will make Luke feel better too." I told her and she smiled. I pushed back and laid down as she slipped into the bed with me. I turned to my side to face her and she was already scooting her back up into me. It wasn't until her naked body made contact with mine that I realized the skin to skin contact seemed to calm both of our wolves.

I could feel her stirring in the morning against me. The rate of her heartbeat picked up and she jumped out of bed and grabbed her shirt holding it against her naked little body.

"It's Okay. Nothing happened." I tried to coax her. "Last night you came into my room. Well I guess I should say Storm came into my room. Your eyes turned into a liquid silver color and Storm had taken control. You took your shirt off and crawled into bed with me. All we did was sleep." I told her. Her eyes trailed down to her panties on the ground and her face blushed.

"Syble you spoke to me last night. Well actually I guess it was your wolf, but you actually spoke in sentences." Her eyebrows furrowed together in thought.

"Go get dressed, I have an idea I want to try today." I told her. She looked at me for a moment then sidestepped to the bedroom door trying to cover herself up with the shirt she was clutching. She reached for the door and backed her naked butt out first so she wouldn't expose it to me. I couldn't help but grin, I'd already seen her naked and she had a cute little butt.

I dressed and went downstairs to the main floor of the suite. I had a few items of business to take care of for LaRue Enterprises and sat at the desk in the corner. Twenty minutes later, Syble came down the stairs dressed and ready. Her long hair was brushed out hanging loose, she had a large sweater, jeans and boots on. The front door opened, and Angelo walked in with a bag.

"Good morning, since you two were sleeping in, I took a walk and picked up a variety of bagels and different cream cheeses. The everything bagel with scallion cream cheese is fantastic. I also got a couple of those Bialy's for you, Alpha."

"Thanks Angelo."

I watched as Syble walked over to the bag of bagels and picked out a Bialy.

"Guess you're not the only one who's a fan of the Bialy boss." Angelo laughed.

"Angelo, when we're ready, I'd like to take a drive out to New Jersey, to that little patch of woods. I have an idea I want to test."

"Sure thing, I'll call for a car."

An hour later we were near Harriman State Park and parked in a secluded area that humans didn't seem to frequent. I've been coming here to let Luke stretch his legs out and run. Angelo, Syble and I walked into the woods and I sniffed around for humans. I looked at Syble and she looked nervous.

"It's okay. You're going to be fine. I brought you out here so I can shift. I want to see if Luke can draw Storm out. Last night she kept asking for her mate and said that she needed him." I explained to her.

"You don't have to shift. It could be painful the first time, but I'm going to step behind the tree and take my clothes off to shift. Angelo will be standing right beside you the whole time; he can mind link with me in wolf form too. Is that okay?" I asked and she nervously nodded her head yes.

I moved behind a tree and removed my clothes. As an Alpha my shift is fast, it takes me about two seconds. I'm a descendant of King Lycaon, who was turned into a werewolf by Zeus, the Theodorus males tend to be unnaturally larger than normal wolves. Luke could easily intimidate anyone who was not accustomed to seeing him. I could feel his excitement to get back to her and stepped out.

Her eyes locked with mine and I could see her staring at me with wonder and admiration. She wasn't afraid and Luke was so happy he let out a bark. I slowly walked towards her and she reached her hand out, wanting to touch me. She started by caressing my face and head, then neck and back. We closed our eyes and enjoyed the tingling touch of our mate.

"She likes stroking the ferocious Alpha." Angelo laughed through the mind link. 

I've never let anyone just touch my wolf, not even my nieces and nephews. I'm an Alpha wolf, not a dog. But, Luke could not wait to feel her touch on our fur. He wanted her to rub and stroke him all over. Hell, I'm surprised he didn't just roll over and expose his underbelly for a good scratch.

She rested her forehead to mine and closed her eyes taking deep breaths. I assume she was talking to her wolf because I could feel Storm. She opened her eyes and they were liquid silver orbs again.

"Mate is so handsome." She said out loud and Luke yipped.

"Angelo, tell her to go behind the tree and put on my shirt. She might end up shifting." I told him and he explained it to her.

She stepped out from behind the tree wearing nothing but my shirt. She kept lifting the collar up to her nose and breathing in my scent which caused a wave of pleasure and pride inside of me knowing she enjoyed it so much.

"Angelo, tell her to come sit next to me. To close her eyes and try to focus on Storm. Picture what she looks like in her mind. I'm going to have Luke call for her." Angelo did as I asked and Syble came to sit next to me.

I could feel Storm on the surface, her eyes were still silver. They looked like melted silver that swirled around. I should remember to ask my father about that. She closed her eyes and buried her face in my fur. Luke let out a few barks and then a low howl, calling for her. 

Syble rolled to her knees and let out a low growl. Her breathing was labored, and her entire body was shaking. She was trying to shift. Luke nuzzled his nose to her face and side encouraging her. The anticipation was driving me nuts, I couldn't wait to set eyes on her. Twenty minutes later, I heard the sound of a few bones cracking and trying to shift but then shifted back.

Syble let out a scream and Luke let out a whimper. She was in pain and laid down next to us. Luke curled up around her and gave her a few quick licks. Her face was covered in sweat and she wasn't very responsive. I've never seen anyone struggle so hard to shift. She seemed physically strong enough to shift. This wasn't normal. Maybe it has something to do with her element?

I waited for her to gain a little more consciousness, but it seemed that she was really fatigued from the attempted shift. I shifted back into human form and Angelo handed me my clothes. I lifted Syble up gently and carried her back to the car. I sat in the back seat of the car and kept her on my lap. Luke was not about to let me put her down.

Her eyes opened up for one brief moment and they were back to their normal hazel color. "Lukas," she said as she closed her eyes and laid her head on my chest. She said my name. I couldn't help but pull her a little tighter into me. It was her, not her wolf.

We drove back in silence and I draped my coat over her to keep her warm. I wondered if years of abuse may have caused her inability to shift. Maybe it was a mental hurdle, like her speaking. There was nothing wrong with her vocal cords, she could obviously speak, but struggled with it. Although she has made excellent progress in the last twenty-four hours. She even said my name, which made my heart happy.

I wondered if we should try and test her element out, but I wasn't sure she could even control it. My father was the best teacher and coach, he's taught all of us how to control, use and develop our gifts. I should just take her back to Greece. My grandparents are also currently in western Canada, at Crescent Moon. I considered calling my grandparents.

"We're almost back to the hotel, do you need to stop for anything boss?" Angelo linked me.

"No, she's wiped out. I want to put her in bed."

"Her wolf was so strong on the surface; she should have shifted without a problem." Angelo said and I knew he was right.

"Yeah, I'm going to call my father this afternoon. If anyone will know, it will be him." I took another deep breath to scent her and thought I smelled Ouzo which has a strong anise flavor to it, but I knew she hadn't had any. It was faint and almost gone.

"Angelo, did you have Ouzo recently?"

"No, haven't had any since we left Greece."

We pulled up to the valet in front and Angelo got out first. He opened my door and I stepped out with a sleeping Syble in my arms covered with my coat. We made our way through the doors and towards the elevator when Mr. Stanley hurried over to us.

"Good afternoon Sir-"

"Not now Mr. Stanley, I'm in a hurry." I responded as the elevator doors opened up and we stepped inside.

"Yes Sir, but-"

"I'll call you within the hour." I said as Angelo pressed the button.

"But Sir, your moth-"

The elevator doors closed, and we lifted up to the penthouse suites. I'll have to call Mr. Stanley and find out what was so urgent once I get Syble tucked into bed. We exited the elevator and Angelo rushed to open the door to our suite. I inhaled the familiar scent of two wolves. A tall Greek Alpha with honey colored eyes and a fierce raven haired Luna with the same blue eyes as me.

"Lukas Knox LaRue Theodorus, why have you not returned any of my calls?" My mother scolded me before her eyes landed on the little mouse in my arms.
