Moon Child
Chapter 22

It was hours before they heard anything. When the metal door flew open it was Kane's form that loomed over them. He didn't bother using the stairs, jumping down to them in one swift move. When he took Dawn into his arms she rested her head on his chest. He smelled of the woods and earth. No blood.

"Is everyone safe?"

With a nod of his head, Ren moved to carry Destiny up the stairs. Everyone followed after her. When the shelter was empty Dawn took a step away from her mate. She had feared for his safety, felt anger toward him for making her stay locked up in this place. She had felt so useless.

"I had to tell them."

He nodded, keeping his eyes on hers. He felt her frustration, her worries never ending. She took another step away from him, her hands shaking slightly.

"I could've helped you. I'm not useless Kane. I'm not even showing yet, I could've fought with you if need be."

He stiffened, standing tall. The growl in his words warned her of the thin ice she was walking.

"You would risk the life of our child?"

She flinched, obviously hurt by the remark.

"No, I just..."

She felt flustered, her earlier panic for his safety turning into anxious anger. She didn't want to be mad, but what if something had happened to him? What if the threat had been too great?

"What if you had been hurt? What if whoever was out there was too much for you to handle? I need to be with you, beside you! I can't...I won't stand by while you get hurt."

He moved in on her, making her back up in surprise at his angry scowl. Suddenly he stopped, frowning as he reached out to her. She took a deep breath as he moved a hair out of her face and tucked it behind her ear.

"Please, don't ever fear me."

Her eyes misted over.

"Kane, I would never. I know you won't hurt me."

His sad eyes locked onto hers, and then he was gaining his inner strength back. He couldn't allow her to risk her own safety for his. She had to understand he was only trying to protect her and their child.

"If I allow you to stay outside in the midst of a threat, then I might as well forfeit your safety and the life of our child. I would rather die."

Her heart stopped for a moment, jumping into her throat.

"You can't expect me to hide down here and just hope for the best. I'm not built for that."

He moved in on her until her back was pressed against a cold metal wall. His hands caged her in at either side of her head, his face a breath away from hers.

"You are my mate, Dawn. If you get hurt, if I'm busy worrying over your safety, then I won't be strong for the pack. Just thinking of you out there, with who knows what else, makes me want to rip everyone and everything apart. I need you safe. I need to know you're here when I tell you to be. You have to listen to me baby, for everyone's sake. You are mine, and if you are harmed so am I. I can't be weak in the middle of an attack."

She took in a shaky breath, nodding before wrapping her arms around his neck and holding on tight. She knew what she had to do, but it hurt to feel so useless. Still, she would listen to him. Her job was to stay safe now, remain alive and healthy.

"I love you so much Kane."

He lifted her off her feet, irises dark as onyx, her legs instinctually wrapping around his waist. He nuzzled into her neck, those soft lips claiming her flesh. Her head fell back as he moved lower with his kisses. She felt his need, within herself and within the jeans momentarily cockblocking them.

That problem was quickly remedied. He unzipped his fly and pushed the material down slightly with one hand. The other still held her up, her cheeks bright with blush. In a dark green dress she was open to his loving attack, her pink entrance bare of coverage. She could never really get use to underwear, and rarely wore it. Kane didn't seem to mind.

His thick cock pressed against her pussy lips, that large hand moving to a thin strap on her shoulder. As he bared her breasts a growl rumbled deep in his chest, his mouth claiming her tight bud of a nipple. She gasped at the sudden spark of pleasure that simple action gave her. He knew her like an open book, and every spot he touched was aflame with desire.

"Kane..."

Her breathy tone had his dick twitching against her, begging to be balls deep in her sweet cunt. His hand grabbed onto her hip as he slipped the glistening tip of his cock into her. She took in a breath, the mass of him heavy within her. Her nails dug into his shoulders as her head fell back against the wall. It was almost enough to make her cum, the slow movement of his dick sliding all the way into her.

Her heart raced as he moved to nip at her earlobe. She felt so hot she might burst. Her moans had him moving in and out of her like this was the last time they'd ever be able to connect so deeply. They felt each others ecstasy climbing, the unity of it making their bodies beg to climax.

"Fuck, baby you're so tight."

Dawn looked into his eyes, those black depths shimmering with the reflection of her silver irises. She leaned in, exploring his mouth with her tongue before nipping at his bottom lip with her sharpened canines. His hold on her hip tightened, his cock plowing into her deep and fast. She felt herself coming close to another release, her grip on him tightening.

"Ka...ne."

His name trembled over her lips as her head fell back once more. If she had a bump on her head from the wall later, she wouldn't regret it. When he came it was with a grunt, and the deep sound made her pussy tighten all over again. He filled her shamelessly with his seed, resting his forehead against hers when he was done. They were both smiling, kissing each other like they hadn't just screwed where anyone could see them.

"Kane, should we..."

He shook his head.

"Oh no baby. I'm nowhere near done with you yet."

His dick, still rock hard within her, agreed. She felt her face heat up as he lowered them both to the ground. He ripped the front of her dress, letting it fall to her sides as he devoured the sight of her. She felt an itch in her palms to cover herself, but she refused. In the eyes of her mate she was perfection incarnate. The few times she had tried to hide from his sight he had refused to allow it.

Now, as he positioned that beefy cock between her thighs, she welcomed his heated gaze. The way he slid into her, how his hands moved over her flesh to pleasure every inch of her, it was earth shattering.

When she came it was hard and he thought she might squeeze his cock out of existence in her tight little cunt. With a grin he sat back on his knees, lifting her effortlessly to sit on his lap. She gasped, her hands gripping his upper arms as he slowly moved her up and down. She was quick to help, her feet touching the ground enough to give her the leverage she needed to slide up and down his dick.

Her thighs were soaked in both of their cum, and when he tightened his hold on her hips she knew he was close to another climax. His head fell back as he filled her once more with his thick, sticky seed. She moaned at the warm feel of it coating her insides. When he came down from the high he nuzzled into her neck, her breathing erratic.

"Need a break?"

His words made her smile, a mischievous twinkle shimmering within her eyes. She bit into his neck playfully, her hands on his chest pushing him to the ground. When he was laying on his back she moved her hips in a circular motion, moving up and down his semi-hard cock. It didn't take much to get him ready for round three, and soon he was begging her to let him cum. It was a powerful feeling, and she loved every minute of it.
