Desire for you- ALPHA RYAN Book 1
Chapter 48

CATHERINE

After Achira and I had eaten, we put the dishes in the dishwasher.

"I'd like to go into the garden, if you don't mind..." I said to her, biting my lower lip.

She nodded: 'Absolutely, fresh air is good for you. Although the weather isn't great here either. December is doing its job and I should get the Christmas decorations out of the cellar and finally decorate the house." Achira replied.

I had to smile, I had last celebrated Christmas with my parents shortly before I was abducted by Arnor.

When I thought of my family, my mother came to mind. How was she doing? I bit my lower lip and sighed softly. I wondered how they would react if they knew they were about to become grandparents.

I was still surprised by the news myself and doubted that I wouldn't be able to cope. Achira, on the other hand, looked very pleased and that she would help me, there was nothing wrong with that. Especially as I still had Maya and Cynthia and even Milena in the pack, who were very fond of babies. Wolves were very caring in that respect.

However, my situation with Ryan and Ilay robbed me of any joy of having a child, I didn't even know how the two of them would react.

I decided not to say anything to them for the time being until I had sorted out my thoughts.

"Here, take my jacket, it should be thick enough," Achira said and handed it to me.

I took it from her and put it on. "Thank you." I said and walked with her towards the exit. In front of the door, she laid out a pair of winter boots for me. "If you need anything, just let me know, will you?"

I nodded slightly, "Thanks, for everything." I smiled at her uncertainly and then finally put my boots on and ran out of the door into the garden.

It was all covered in snow and there was a cold wind blowing. I walked into Ilay's huge garden and looked at the rose bushes, which were covered in snow. As I walked on, I spotted a bench and sat down. I sighed softly and didn't really know what to do. 'You worry too much, Catherine...' Rose whispered sleepily.

My heart leapt and I felt joy. 'Rose! At last... I've missed you so much...'

'Yes, your jump was not without its problems, but I can see that we have more problems... Do you really trust this demon?' she asked me uncertainly.

'Do I have any other choice? They are both my companions and both have already marked us...' My shoulders slumped and I stared at the ground.

'And you'll probably have to mark them too...'

'I have no other choice or we'll end up in hell...' I said quietly, biting my lower lip.

'Mmm quite a lot of crap, but it's nothing we can't handle. You can probably feel our fireflies?' Rose suddenly asked me excitedly.

'Yes, I've only just found out and, frankly, I don't really know what to make of it.

'What do you mean? What do we think about it? We're delighted, of course! At least it's also from our real companion...'

'Our real companion... speaking of the devil.

'Is something wrong?' Rose asked me uncertainly.

'Nothing is good... He found out that me and Ilay had something... He held me by the neck and pushed me against the wall so I could hardly breathe. The situation escalated between him and Ilay and now I really have no idea where they've gone.'

'Oh... Crap. Maybe it's not a bad thing that they've just left.' Rose suddenly said calmly.

'I could stretch my legs, Cate. Are you in?' she asked me. Was I in? A hell of a ride through the demon world. Why not?

'Let's go then...' I finally said and took off Achira's jacket and shoes so as not to damage them during the transformation.

I transformed and was surrounded by my dark red fur again.

I finally ran off, through the neighborhood. Even though I didn't really know my way around here and I didn't know what dangers lay in wait for us, I had to get some distance from them.

After a while, I slowed down and trudged through the area. I observed the snow-white area and sighed. Rose's fur didn't let any cold through, on the contrary, I felt very comfortable in it and was glad that Rose was finally by my side.

I had been out for over an hour now.

'Maybe we should go back. It's still getting dark and we don't know what's lurking out here,' Rose finally said. I agreed with her and eventually walked back the way we came.

After a while, I finally arrived and opened the door with my snout because I didn't want to change on the spot. I didn't fancy Ilay and Ryan seeing me naked.

I ran inside and Achira was already storming out of the kitchen.

'Where have you been, I was worried!' she said in a panic.

'I'm fine, I had to let my she-wolf out,' I told her in my mind.

'Don't worry, Achira... I'm going up to my room now,' I finally said and wanted to go up the stairs.

I was stopped by two people. Ryan and Ilay stood in front of the door and looked at me worriedly. My anger flared up again and I growled at them both, signaling them to move.

However, neither of them moved "Where have you been... We've been looking everywhere for you." Ilay said and came towards me.

I growled at him again, also intending to bite if they continued to resist letting me through.

Ryan, on the other hand, just looked at me and said nothing.

Ilay seemed to understand what I was saying and stood to one side.

I huffed angrily and ran up the stairs to the room.

Once I was inside, I turned back and locked the door as well. I couldn't take anyone else tonight.

I went to the closet and got dressed again. I took out something comfortable and had picked out a pair of ribbed knit trousers in dark gray and a matching sweater that was a little oversized.

I finally sat down on the windowsill and looked out. I wonder what will become of it? Ilay and Ryan had made their position very clear to me. Ilay didn't want Ryan and Ryan wanted Ilay dead.

I took the fluffy blanket that was on the chair and pulled it over my body. I sighed softly and leaned my head against the window, which was cool.

The sun had already gone down and there was nothing to see but darkness.

My eyelids became heavier and heavier and fell shut.

A familiar smell reached my nose and I felt two strong arms lift me up. Ryan lifted me and laid me on the bed. I didn't move much, I didn't want to talk to him. The reason I was now pretending to be asleep.

I wouldn't be surprised if he had simply broken the lock to my room, the door was actually closed.

He covered me up and sat on the edge of the bed with me.

"I know you're awake, Cate... Your heart is literally jumping out of your chest." he whispered softly and looked at me.

"I don't want to see you." I mumbled and turned onto my side.

He grabbed my shoulder "I'm sorry for that reaction earlier... It was stupid of me to leave you alone in that situation in the first place, I should have stayed with you." he said and reached for my hand and kissed me on my palm.

His kiss gave me an indescribable tingling sensation. However, I pulled myself together and withdrew my hand "I don't want to talk to you about this..." I bit my lower lip.

"Cate... Please, we both messed up, we can both talk about it like adults." He pulled me closer to him and put his big, strong arms around me, pulling me into a semi-recumbent hug.

"What more do we want to talk about? Apparently this whole thing isn't working... I can't turn you or Ilay down and neither of you will even come close to meeting me, you nearly killed each other earlier..." I said angrily and tried to pull out of his arms, but he held me tight as if his life depended on it.

"You have to listen to me, Cate... We've come to an agreement." he finally said, making me sit up and take notice. I frowned and looked up at him. "You two came to an agreement?" I asked him, irritated.

Ryan nodded and Ilay stepped forward in the background.

"We'll get our act together..." Ilay said and came closer and closer to us.

Ilay sat down on the other side and looked at me with his green eyes. "We both want you." he finally said.

I sighed and sat up. "Oh yeah? You nearly killed each other earlier..." They knew very well what I was talking about.

I heard the gulp from Ryan clearly, "We're serious, Catherine. We care about you and apparently we have to accept our fate." he said, pinching the bridge of his nose.

I laughed softly and shook my head "I want to see that first. Because I don't believe a single word you say."

They had both proved to me that they could say a lot of things when the day got long. This time, I wanted to let their actions speak for them. Yes, that's what I wanted.

They both nodded at the same time, "We won't let you down this time, Catherine," Ilay said, smiling at me.

His smile gave me that impossible tingling sensation again and Ryan, who was sitting behind me, didn't make it any better with his touch. I had to swallow hard and I could feel my heartbeat pounding loudly at the presence of both of them.

"R-out" I forced myself to say and they both looked at me suddenly confused. "Is something wrong?" Ryan asked me, looking at me worriedly.

"Go... please" I tried to say, but they both stood there, transfixed. My desire for them increased and I could also feel my fangs slowly coming out. I felt the need to mark them both here and now.

They both looked at each other with raised eyebrows and seemed to be communicating with each other.

"What don't you mean by... GO FINALLY!" I yelled at them both. They didn't move from the spot... On the contrary, they both came closer to me. The heat was getting to me and I wanted to jump them both.

"I don't think that's what you want, for us to leave..." Ryan whispered in my ear, while Ilay bit her lower lips seductively.

Ryan hugged me from behind and started to fill my neck with kisses on one side, while Ilay came towards me from the front and delighted me with kisses on the other.

I couldn't help but moan and let both of my companions come against me... Damn, Catherine, you should be mad at them both...

My legs went soft and I couldn't help it. I needed them both. Immediately.

My body felt like it was on fire. They lit a fire inside me with each successive touch and I was hungry for them, both of them.

Ilay's hands slid up under my sweater to my breasts, while one of Ryan's hands made its way under my waistband and into my shorts. Ryan pulled my underpants to the side and ran his fingers over my labia, making me moan.

Ilay played with my breasts and gently pulled on them while he continued to caress my neck and bite into it gently.

I felt like I was melting away, I had goose bumps all over my body and felt like I was in seventh heaven.

Ryan ran his fingers inside me and made me run hot. Oh goddess of the moon... I was going insane with the two of them.

My chest was throbbing, my adrenaline levels mixed with the oxytocin didn't bode well, I felt like I was about to explode.

Ilay detached himself from my neck and settled for my lips. I returned Ilay's kiss and turned my head to Ryan when Ilay broke away from me to give him a kiss too.

Ilay, meanwhile, took my breast in her mouth and sucked hard on it.

They were both so close to me with their lower bodies that I could feel their hard cocks pressing against my body.

Oh goddess of the moon...

"Catherine... Catherine..." whispered Ryan.
