Chapter 10
This is precisely why wolves don't heal each other, it's taboo and only for mates. It can also possibly sire our wolves, but since I don't have one yet, hopefully, that won't be too much of an issue
I am about to protest when he turns my hand, he growls in a warning. I see his eyes flash black momentarily as he licks my palm and across the side of my hand, healing the wound his wolf had created. He then sits back, looking rather satisfied with himself
"My father is going to kill me!" I hiss, knowing his DNA will be circulating in my system for a few days. If too much DNA 1s transferred, especially 1f the wound is too big, he would risk
siring me
"Pretty sure he would rather you alive than find you dead when I could have saved you," he comments
"Yeah, well, he'll still be angry either way just because it was you, and the risk of you siring my wolf," I sigh heavily when I realize what I said out loud. My face heats. Gosh, that would be humiliating if I started chasing after him like a lovesick- sired pup. Our wolves are always with us from birth but dormant until a certain age, but they can still feel and sense their human counterpart
I've always found that part of us to be fascinating, and my mother used to tell me about mate bonds and the magic of finding your fated mate. How our wolves can sense their mates by eye contact, it sets transmitters off to recognize their soul's counterpart, kind taking the term saying the eyes are the window to the soul to another level, it's also why healing a wolf that isn't your mate is so taboo. It can alter those neurotransmitters, making us not recognize our mate
"Don't be embarrassed. I'd rather you stay alive; besides, it's not like anyone saw me heal you or saw your reaction to it."
"You saw! And they'll still know!" I tell him, blushing even more. He shrugs, uncaring. I roll
my eyes and glance away. Great, what will Deacon think?
"I save you, and all I get is attitude. Keep going, and I will heal your leg." I flinch at his words, knowing if he heals any more of me, that risk of being sired goes up even without having my wolf yet. Still, though, I can't help but sense that
he genuinely wants to help me and isn't trying to manipulate me
"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound ungrateful," I mumble the last part, feeling guilty, but he isn't the one who will have to endure my father
Yet when the light blinks, I glance up in time to see one goes out while the other dims. It is dark in here now, yet that is the least of my worries as the temperature keeps dropping. I do my best not to shiver. I can still hear the fighting from outside, but it is fainter now. Is my father ok?
"Are you alright?" he asks, and I turn slightly to see the Alpha looking at me with concern. I can just about make out his eyes piercing into me where he sits in the darkest part, having moved away from me. That is probably a good thing because despite not having my wolf, his saliva 1s now in my bloodstream, making him far more
alluring. Which doesn't help much seeing as the man is already alluring enough! At least where I am. I have one flickering dim light
Nodding, I wrap my arms around myself
"Yeah," I reply, shivering, yet my voice stutters as my teeth chatter
"I can't believe this!" he growls, punching the wall and making me look up in alarm. "I should be out there."
I can sense his frustration as he drops to the ground, leaning against the wall, clenching his fist
Rubbing my arms, I look across at him. "Maybe we'll be found soon."
"Perhaps," he exhales, resting his head back against the wall. "How is your leg?" he asks, and
I look down at it, only now realizing I can't actually feel it. It's gone completely numb. I poke it, and nothing
"That's not good," he mutters, and I look at him, and he sits up better
"Come over here. You're going to freeze to death at this rate." I chew my lip, wondering if I should. After a few seconds, I give up and use the wall to get to my feet
As much as I want to argue, I don't want to die here either. I am already freezing, and Goddess knows when someone will find us. I drag myself over to him, and his gaze falls to my bleeding leg. "Can you cover up?" I ask. I am not going to cuddle against a naked dude whose junk is hanging out
He looks at me in disbelief. "Does it look like
there's something to cover myself with down here beside this bag?" he growls
He does have a good point. I take what's left of my top off, although that just left me in my bra, and toss it onto his lap. Almost smirking at the fact, his eyes flash, and he turns away from me

Now, who's uncomfortable?
Is he really going to treat me like I am underage? Bloody hell, I'm nineteen, almost the leader of my pack, and he just frigging healed me. If anything, he should be more worried about the potential sire he has created
"There, better," I huff
"Just come here," he growls, yanking me down on his lap. I sit there stiffly when he wraps his arms around me, pulling me closer and lifting
his legs, so I am not sitting on the cold ground
"Relax, I won't hurt you," he says softly as he rubs my arms while being careful not to squash my leg. Giving in, I lean against him, welcoming the heat of his body. Yet when I rest my head on his shoulder, he shiversThis content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
"You must be cold," I tell him
"I'm more worried about you... Your father will start a war if you die on my watch."
He tucks me closer, wrapping his arms around
me and pulling my flush against his chest, only for me to gasp when I feel his shaft against my
ass
Oh, heck no! "And she says she's not a virgin," he mocks
"I'm not." I lie, frowning, but I don't struggle
further, allowing him to enclose me in his muscular arms

"Am not."
He laughs again but pulls away. His hand moves into my hair when he suddenly jerks my head back. He buries his nose 1n my neck before running it along the column of my throat to the side of my lips. I swallow at how close he is, and his eyes flicker
"I can smell your innocence," he murmurs, his lips so close they brush against mine when he smirks and his eyes flash to that of his beast
My face heats at his words. "That's a good thing. I don't understand why you are
embarrassed," he mutters, tucking my face back into his neck. "Now, rest. I've mindlinked my Beta already. They're trying to get to us," he tells me
"Finally."
"Yes, but it might be awhile. The entire building is on top of us."
"What?" I groan
"Sleep, don't think about it," he tells me, and I sigh but do as he says while wondering how my father is. I try to mind link him, but with my blood loss, it is like I can't exert that kind of energy
I have to admit, he smells good. I internally roll my eyes. Wow, focus girl. The severity of the situation settles in, and I become somber once
more, knowing it's just his blood in my system that is wreaking havoc on my hormones
