Chapter 18
"Christian thought it would be better if we didn't tell anyone about my family." I said.
I knew I was being evasive but I was scared. I had spent most of my life hiding my identity, it didn't feel natural to tell anyone the truth. Onyx trusted her mate completely but I was scared, what if she was wrong about him. "Why is that?" Elijah asked.
He licked the point on my neck where he would mark me. I felt shivers of pleasure running down my spine. He pulled me closer, he held me as though I was the most precious thing in the world to him. Tenderly but incredible possessively. 'Tell him anything he wants to know, right now.' Onyx purred.
"There aren't many packs that are willing to take in a lone wolf, especially not one that has the strength of an alpha." I said.
"I think your strength is a bonus, for me and our pack." He said.
"You wouldn't say that if you knew who my parents were." I said.
I could feel myself getting nervous again. I was sure that I was about to lose my mate. At least it would be less painful for me to get a rejection now than in a few weeks or months.
"Tell me but you should know that there is nothing you could say that would stop me wanting to be with you." He said.
"My family's name is Quintrell." I said. He froze, his lips were positioned just above the skin on my neck.
"Quintrell, I know that name." He said.
"Yes my parents were killed and the whole pack destroyed." I said.
When my parent's pack was destroyed there was a lot of gossip about what had happened. The people who attacked the pack were clear but what wasn't clear was why the pack had turned against my parents. It was always assumed that there was something else going on, maybe someone else pulling the strings behind the scenes.
There had been investigations into the events but nobody had found out the truth. I suspected that this was because there was someone powerful who didn't want the truth to come out. I never voiced these suspicions out loud though, I knew better than to do something so reckless.
"I heard a rumour that they were stronger than any other alpha. She could have easily taken over the pack if she wanted to. Is that why she hid from me?" Elijah thought.
I felt a cold chill run down my spine. I had never planned to take over the pack, it hadn't even crossed my mind. I just wanted to stay alive and stay hidden then maybe have some kind of a normal life.
I should have known better than to tell him the truth. Now he sees me as nothing but a threat. Would he want to get me out of the way, would he try to do it now or would he wait till I wasn't expecting it? Maybe I would be better sneaking out of this house and leaving the pack right now.
I needed to get him away from my neck without raising suspicion. I was in such a vulnerable position right now, he could rip my throat out before I would have time to react. Would he do that to me, he is an alpha and I am a potential threat. "That is so terrible, it must have been horrible for you." Elijah said. He pulled me into his chest and held me tightly.
"I am being stupid. She is my mate and my Luna. How could I ever believe she would hurt me." He thought.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
I leaned against his chest and enjoyed the feeling of being held. His comforting scent enveloping me. I could get used to this feeling.
"They were very powerful weren't they?" Elijah asked.
"Yes. They both came from strong alpha bloodlines." I replied.
"My wolf is very happy, he thinks our pups will be very strong." He said.
'He wants pups with us.' Onyx said. I could feel how much she already cared for her mate.
"What do you think?" I asked, almost dreading his response.
"That you are perfect," he said.
Pulled me closer and pressed his lips against mine. His kiss was passionate and possessive. He was running his hands all over me. Pulling me closer and running his hands over my curves. His fingers found the zip of my dress and pulled it down.
I continued to kiss him as I fumbled with the buttons on his shirt. It was difficult because I couldn't see what I was doing. I broke our kiss reluctantly so I could concentrate.
Elijah let out a frustrated growl. He pulled his shirt off, ripping off a few of the buttons in the process. He then started to undo his jeans.
"It is a shame, I liked that shirt on you." I said, feigning sadness. He pulled his jeans down then looked at me and smiled.
"I have others." He said.
He grabbed hold of my hips and threw me backwards onto his bed. I only had a few seconds to process how hot it was to be handled in that way before his body was covering mine. He kissed my lips and my neck until he reached my marking spot. I felt his sharp teeth scratch across my skin, asking for permission.

His teeth pierced my skin. There was a second of pain followed by a wave of pleasure as our bond deepened. Once the pleasure had subsided and my breathing had returned to a more normal rate I rolled him over. I pushed Elijah down so that he was on his back and I was on top of him.
I moved so that I could remove his underwear and mine. I took a moment to appreciate his exposed body before I positioned myself over his member. I lowered myself down on him very slowly. I let out a moan as I felt him filling me up completely.
Elijah pulled my body closer and kissed me. As I moved against him I could feel the pleasure getting more and more intense. Elijah's groans of pleasure pushed me closer to my release.
"Oh goddess, you are perfect." He said, in between kisses and moans of pleasure.
As my orgasm took over I bit down on Elijah's neck, marking him as mine forever. He screamed in pleasure as he reached his own orgasm. He held me tightly for a few seconds before loosening his grip. "That was incredible." He said.
"It really was." I replied.
I rolled off him and onto my back, still breathing heavily. Elijah positioned himself on top of me. I could feel his erection pressing at my entrance.
"You didn't think that was it, did you?" He asked, as thrust into me.
