My Wolf and I
Chapter 18 ✔

AIDEN

I rolled off of Forest, panting heavily. We had woken up no more than an hour ago. Only an hour and he managed to fit three rounds. My mind was buzzing from the information of the night before, but it was also clouded by my most recent orgasm. I stared up at the ceiling while trying to catch my breath, Forest, also panting –but not quite as heavily- turned onto his side to face me.

“Honestly didn’t think you’d be able to keep up with me, Gorgeous.” He grinned. He looked like he was ready for another round, but I had to get ready for class. He had a hungry look in his eyes that made my knees weak.

“Down boy, I have class,” I said tried to sit up on the bed, wincing at the pain. The four rounds the night before definitely helped nothing.

“Awe, come on Gorgeous. Just one more? How bout I help you clean up in the shower?” He sat up with me and ran a hand up my arm.

“Nope! I’m not letting you use that on me again. We were supposed to be done two rounds ago. I’m gonna need you to let Jay back please and thank you.” I said pulling my arm away from him playfully. He made a face but let Jay take over anyway. While they made the switch, I got out of bed to get things ready for my shower.

“Hello Sugar~” Jay basically purred at me staring at my bare ass.

“Don’t be getting any ideas, mister. I’ve already gone three rounds this morning, plus four rounds last night. My ass can’t take anymore.” I whined. He gave me a soft smile before walking over to me.

“I’m sorry Sugar. Let’s go get you into a bath and I’ll make you some breakfast.” He said pulling me into his arms and carrying me to the bathroom. He turned on the shower, stepped in, and washed me. Once he was sure I was clean, he turned off the shower and took me to the tub across from the shower. He ran me a warm bubble bath and sat me inside with a kiss.

“Have a nice bath. You just relax, I’ll come get you when breakfast is done then I’ll take you to class.” I nodded and sank down the tub until the water was just under my chin.

It’s so nice of him to take care of me like this I thought happily.

It’s only because you’re his mate. Why else would he treat you like this? You’re not worth it. He just needs you alive so he’s alive. The voice said.

I shook my head and started the exercises Dr. Hamton taught me. Jay loves me. He would treat me like this even if I wasn’t his mate. I am worth the love I receive. I am worth the love I receive. I repeated the line until I was able to drown the voice out completely.

“Need to make an appointment,” I mumbled softly waving my hand under the water.

I sat in the tub for a little while longer until Jay walked in. He dried me off and wrapped me up in a new fluffy towel. He took me straight to the kitchen and sat me down on one of the barstools. “You don’t need to treat me so gently you know?”

“I don’t want to hear it, Sugar. Forest went a bit too far with you so I’m making it up to you. I love you and I want to spoil you.” He said setting a plate down in front of me. He kissed my head as he sat down next to me with his own plate.”

As we ate, I said, “So everyone in the house is a werewolf?”

“Yup” He popped the p, “They are all members of the pack, our pack. I can’t wait for you to meet them. They’ll love you.”

“How can I be sure that they won’t hurt me? I mean I know you won’t because you love me but what’s stopping one person from going too far and killing me?” I asked causing him to growl.

“No one would dare lay a finger on you.” His eyes flashed, showing Forest’s own anger. “If they even tried, even thought about it, they would be on the ground before finishing the thought.”

“But-”

“Listen. I promise that nothing will happen to you. But if you want just stay by me until you’re more comfortable.” He smiled softly at me and put a hand on my knee. I smiled back and pushed my empty plate away from me.

“I’m going to go get dressed, then I’ll be ready.”

“Nope!” He said playfully. He scooped me up into his arms and walked us to the bedroom. He gently tossed me on the bed and went to the closet. As he picked my clothes out, he tossed them over his shoulder, onto the bed.

He picked out a dark grey thermal undershirt, a white short-sleeved t-shirt with a shocked cat on it, and blue skinny jeans. Instead of throwing my socks and underwear at me, he walked to stand in front of me with them in his hands. I held my hand out to take them, but he pulled back. “Like I said, I’m making up for it.” He simply said before pulling the towel off of me and proceeded to dress me. I rolled my eyes at him but let him dress me anyway.

“You know if you’re going to drive me to school you need to get dressed too,” I said pointing out that he was still only in his underwear. He blushed before getting dressed.

"Hello, this is Dr. Hamton speaking." His voice was strong on the other end of the line.

“Hey, Ham. It’s Aiden Smith.”

"Aiden! How have you been?" He sounded happy to hear from me but worried at the same time.

“Pretty good, but I think my meds are starting to not work again.”

"Alright, talk to me. Has anything big happened recently?"

I took a breath, not really wanting to talk about it but I knew that he needed to know as my doctor. “I left Cato after replaceing out that he raped me in high school.”

"Well... If anything will mess with the balance of your medication. That will do it." he paused for a moment, ”How about we set up an appointment for a more in-depth conversation and get you balanced again yea?"

“Yea.” I said smiling into the phone.
