Howling Hearts

Lucian walked over to me slowly while untying his tie. When he reached my bed, he placed both of his arms on either side of my head before he hovered above me.

I gasped at the sight of him licking my lips in delicious anticipation. "How you feeling princess?" He asked in a seductive tone. "Ummm G...Good I think" I said with a shy voice. "Doctor says stress isn't good for you or our little pup. How about I relieve you a little", he whispered in my ear, making my core clench like it was yearning for him. He started nibbling at my neck and my arms just fell over his shoulders out of habit.

"Scarlet... Think with your head" My wolf said deep within my mind, causing her words to echo through my ears, refusing to leave them no matter how hard I tried to ignore them. I bit down on my lip debating on whether or not to end this.

"Scarlet" She said once more in an aggressive tone making me realize I wasn't getting out of this.

"L...Lucian... as much as I would love you to, but we have to stop" He pulled away staring deeply into my eyes. I could see the rejected feeling swimming around in his eyes. "Why? You're not going to him, are you?"

"Goddess no Lucian."

"Then why?"

""Our wolves, Lucian, they have to mark each other." I said frustrated

"We are on the brink of war and they have to mark each other so that we can reach our peak faster" I said, receiving a confused look from him.

In all honesty, I was also confused by my own words.

"Let's just go to the woods and shift. Our wolves will know what to do. Give your wolf full control and I will too" He looked at me like some crazy lady before his eyes went dark for a few minutes.

"OK, I was just informed." He said, getting off me. My body yearned and hated me every moment that went past as the cold air hit them instead of his sweaty bare skin.

He grabbed his suit jacket off the chair, tossed it over his shoulder and started heading out the room.

I just watched his beautifully muscular body move and clenched my thighs as his simple movements turned me on. He moved so gracefully yet so dominantly at the same time.

He placed his hand on the door handle but instead of opening the door he just looked over his shoulder at me with a smug smirk plastering his beautiful face.

"You coming?" He asked, ripping me from my day-dreams. I shook the thoughts out of my head before getting out of bed. "Yes, right behind you" I said and he opened the door, still standing in the room. Gesturing for me to go first.

"Or right in front of you I guess". Just as I passed through the door frame, a sudden smack that was so loud filled the hospital hallway and rooms every corner.

Echoing back and forth. A sudden burning sensation tingled my bum and I realized I was moving forward just a bit faster than normal. Then it struck me he just hit my a*s.

"Lucian" I said in a frustrated giggle. "What?" He asked, putting on an innocent little smile and those doe eyes.

"Can't I slap my mates. A*s?" I swallowed my lips and started walking out of the hospital. A clear evil giggle followed right behind me.

I can't say that I didn't like it, but it was just the timing and the place. When we arrived at the woods just behind the hospital, I stopped dead in my tracks and felt Lucian walk into me. "Big mister Alpha should watch where he'sgoing"

"Well big missus Luna could give a warning" I scoffed at our little play.

"Well, let's get this show on the go" I said starting to undress myself. Soon Lucian followed and I watched as he straightened out his figure completely bare.

"Please Scarlet, just 30 min then you can indulge," My wolf said and I rolled my eyes instinctively at her words. I sighed as I watched him smirk at me.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

How can he just always look this good? I turned my eyes away from him, staring deep into the wood.

"Catch me if you can" I said before shifting. I started running through the woods watching the trees glide past me.

I looked around and saw Lucian just on my tail. I took a sharp turn and ran even faster. I started climbing a tree as he tried to grab me, missing me by merely a few inches.

I then jumped from tree to tree and soon landed on the ground again. I ran through the river and dived through the mud covering my scent.

I hid in a bush nearby and watched as Lucian bolted past me. I ran out of the bush into the direction he had just come from. Out of nowhere I was pinned tothe floor and Lucian's scent engulfed me.

"To shay" I said, watching his wolf take deep breaths. I sat back in my own mind and let my wolf take full control.

I could still see as the events played out, but I was just no longer in control of how my body moved and the decision-making was all up to my wolf.

I was just a spectator. I covered my eyes a couple of times to shield them from the events that were happening. It just felt a little weird when I wasn't the one experiencing it. Almost like I was a stalker of some sorts.

I then felt his canines sink into my neck once more.

However, this time it felt different, like a missing piece. Because that is exactly what it was.

The missing piece that deepened our bond. And the missing piece to unlocking our full potential. I felt the power surge through me at a lighting speed.

It felt both refreshing and tiring. Both our wolves fell to the floor and we shifted into our human forms. lying on the ground that was covered in dried out leaves prickling on my skin. I laid in Lucian's arms and we just reveled in the moment. As our eyes fell shut...
