The Wannabe Warrior
Chapter 12

Zane POV

It was a struggle between my wolf and myself. As we walked away from the door, he was growling and shouting. His mate was in danger and he had to get in there. I ignored him, thinking he just wanted to stay with his mate for longer and any time away from his mate meant she was in danger. I went downstairs to the kitchens and grabbed some nibblies and a jar of coffee for my room and some more water for the fridge. I have my own little mini kitchen, but my stocks were getting low and for some reason the cleaning staff had not refilled them.

Back in my room, I started what I hoped would be a long hot shower and thoughts of my mate drifted into my mind. Her long-toned legs and plumb breasts, lips calling me to k**s them, eyes drawing me in, her hair soft and wavy and, dam. Now I am hard and my need for release caused me to grab my engorged c**k and fist it. I started slowly, stroking my c**k up and down… In long slow strokes, my thoughts of my mate and how I would take her. I would take her slowly and sensually, she smelt like it would be her first time, just like me, I would k**s her soft lips, causing them to be plump and moist, then her long tender neck and replace the spot I would mark her as mine, then slowly down to firm breasts, where I would nibble and suck her n*****s, then to her flat stomach, and down her toned thighs, if she will let me, I would replace her mound and lick and finger her, get her wet and ready for my large c**k, yeah, I have a reasonable sized one and was proud of it, I would wait till she was writhing and moaning my name and then slowly lick and k**s my way back up to her face and then gently enter her. My hand on my c**k started to get faster and before I could go any further in my thoughts of our first time together, I squirted my load down the shower wall, my knees almost buckled as I climaxed that hard, harder than I had ever done before. Panting, I placed my other hand on the shower wall for support and waited for the moment to subside. That was one hell of an o****m, I think to myself.

Getting my breath back, I cleaned myself up and the shower wall and climbed out of the shower, dried myself and, with a huge grin on my face, I put on my boxers and climbed into bed, spent but felt satisfied.

Not sure how long I was asleep, when I heard a knock on my door.

I dragged myself out of bed and opened the door to the face of my smirking dad.

‘Zane, my boy, get mated, before we have anymore Karen issues.’ He pulled my mate from behind him and gently nudged her through the door, then closed the door behind him, leaving me standing there staring at my beautiful mate in confusion.

My mate followed me slowly further into the room. I sat on the bed and just stared at her.

My mate is just standing, looking around the room. I can see her sniffing, and wonder if she can tell I relieved myself in the shower. I hope not.

‘Come sit with me and tell me what is going on.’ I asked tenderly.

She comes over and sits and fiddles with her hands, before she speaks.

‘The room was not empty when you left me at the door.’ My mate started softly.

‘Who?’. My wolf screams in my head. Calm down, I said to him, let our mate talk.’ Go on, I said, blocking out my wolf.

‘A woman was spraying scent on my bed.’ her voice was soft and calm.

‘What kind of spray?’

‘To most people it would just smell like lavender, and they would climb into bed and most likely scream.’

‘What do you mean?’ I was getting anxious now.

‘The lavender was masking,wolfbane.’ her voice, still so calm.

‘s**t,’ I exclaimed ‘who was it?’ my anger had taken over.

‘Doesn’t matter, I called Alpha and he would handle it. What was annoying, though, was the parting comment she made. This woman said you and she shared the bed and that you are hers. I don’t care what she believes, you are my mate, and her threats mean nothing.’ She growls lowly and it turns me on.

‘Karen, dad has to get her out of our pack. If you did not smell the wolfbane, you could have been hurt.’ The thought made my skin crawl and my heart race.

‘I told you she was in danger. When we left her door, you would not listen, our mate could have been hurt.’ my wolf yells in my head.

‘My nose is good, I can smell most things, even smell things years old, plus the wolfbane would not have harmed me.’

‘What? How?’ confused.

Giggling, she says. ‘A gift I guess, there are many little things about me that are …not, what they call ’normal’. We are still learning what I can do, but all of this is part of being a tracker. Even my mom was a tracker and was not harmed by wolfsbane or silver, for that matter.’ She says casually, as if she had not just blown my mind.

‘Tell me more.’ I urged gently; my anger subsided.

‘Look, it is getting very late, I am tired and have an early start in the morning. Could we just get mate stuff out the way so I can go to sleep.’ She urges, with a yawn.

I move to kneel before her, so I am looking at her, eye to eye.

‘How about we mark each other, and then get some sleep, that should placate father at little, I would like our first time to be special, not done because it has to be done.’

She nods and sighs, what I presume is relief.

I unbuttoned her shirt, and exposed her neck. Leaning forward, I k**s her neck, until I replace the spot that makes her giggle and squirm, my teeth lengthen and I clamp down on her neck, gently sucking as I go. She stiffens when my teeth enter her neck, but. She relaxes when I extract them and lick the b***d from her neck, she gives a very quiet m**n, and opens her eyes to look at me, curiosity on her face.

‘Your turn.’ Unbuttoning my shirt and tilting my neck, offering it to her, almost pleading for her to mark me.

Taking a deep breath, she leans forward and licks my neck and then sinks her teeth in. Yeah, it hurt at first, then I wanted to pull her to me and make love to her. I knew she needed sleep for tomorrow and the rest could wait. She is mine now and my wolf is more than happy that we have our mark on her.

Standing, I urge, ‘undress and get into bed, time for sleep, we can work the next step out later.’

Going to the adjoining room, which is a mini kitchen and get a drink of water, hoping to give her enough privacy to change, walking back with a glass for her too.

She is already in bed, with her back to me.

Climbing in, I couldn’t stop myself from spooning in behind her. She stiffens and sucks in a breath, but when I do no more than hold her, she relaxes and I lay holding this woman in my arms, it did not take long to hear the long slow breath of her sleeping.

Snuggled into her warm sensuous body, sending unexplainable tingles all over me. Her scent calms my wolf, feeling him make a circle as if replaceing a comfortable position and, curling up in a ball and falling asleep, feeling my wolf happy, my mate sleeping, I allow myself to join them in sleep.
