The Wannabe Warrior
Chapter 40

Zane POV

Entering the packhouse, I sighed with relief, we had made it back safely, and the sight that made me feel so much better, was Madison, as she was heading across the entry hall towards dad’s office entrance. She noticed me and rushed over with concern on her face.

I must have looked a mess.

I know I was feeling sore and tired.

Pulling her into my arms, getting those tingles that I had grown to love so much, I lowered my head to her neck, took a deep breath and moved my mouth to hers and gave her what I felt was a much-needed k**s.

We headed to dad’s office. I walk in, without knocking, I don’t feel like waiting outside this door, I need a coffee, and I am barely able to stay on my feet, having been up for more than twenty-four hours. I pushed Madison to sit on the sofa and head to the coffee pot, and pour myself a coffee. I lifted the pot towards dad and Madison, asking without words if they wanted one too. Madison nods and dad shakes his head no.

Passed Madison a cup and sat beside her on the sofa, dad put the phone down and ordered me to report.

‘We placed all the cameras around the last few caves. On the way back here, we came across a group of rogues, twenty of them. They attacked and we killed eight and put the others to sleep with blow darts. We buried the dead and covered the area with branches and spayed the area with scent neutralising spray. We brought back a dozen rogues and had them in the cells, thinking you might want to question them and, depending on the answers, whether we leave them in the cells or add them to the dungeon, at a later date. There are four of our warriors in the Hospital, just a precaution, as they seem to be slow at healing, and maybe the rogues have their nails covered in wolfbane somehow.’ I reported.

‘Madison, any idea about the wolfbane on nails?’

‘Yes, paint the nails with clear nail polish first, then paint with a wolfbane solution. The nail polish will protect the person from being affected by wolfsbane on themselves. I have seen this in the past, and have been working on an antidote. Graham has been my victim to try out on, as I am not affected by wolfbane or silver and cannot try it out on myself.’

‘Have you had success?’ Alpha asked.

‘She must have, Graham was not suffering like the others, he seemed to have healed like normal.’ I replied before Madison could respond.

A big grin filled Madison’s face as I said this and she fist pumped the air.

‘Glad he remembered to prepare before he left. It is a solution you need to drink and it takes about half an hour to take effect and it will cover him for a full twenty-four hours. It may last longer, but I have not tried it longer.’

‘Who is in the hospital?’ Dad frowns.

I name the four guys that are in the hospital and dad nods, they are good men.

‘Anything else you want to add?’

‘Nope, we are just all back, we are all exhausted, and burying the dead and carrying those rogues back was tiring and time-consuming. If it is all right with you, I would like to do exactly what I told the men to do: eat, shower, sleep.’

Dad nods and picks up his phone, most likely to finish the conversation he was having when I burst into the room.

I dragged Madison out with me, and we headed to the kitchen for some food. I ate in silence and Madison just sat beside me, rubbing her hand up and down my leg, sending hopeful thoughts to my brain and my d**k growing with desire, that I was having trouble stopping it from getting hard.

Any contact with my mate seems to make me want to carry her up to the bedroom and do things I know she keeps saying not to do, till the rogue situation is over, and she is very hard to resist and, not breaking my promise not to mate yet.

Having finished my meal, I walked arm in arm upstairs to our room and the bathroom for a shower.

The warm water hit my tired body and I was eager to wash the smell of rogues off my body. I got a pleasant surprise when Madison joined me in the shower, and took the soap from my hands and slowly washed my body. She started on my back, rubbing long slow strokes up and down my back, and she gently bit my arse. My d**k that I had trouble getting deflated in the kitchen was now a roaring hardness that I reckon could explode with minimal effort. Madison, gently washed my front and then went down and licked, and kissed and took me into her mouth. She had barely started and I had to pull her away and squirt my load onto the shower floor. Madison, kissed her way back up and then gave me a full passionate k**s on the mouth, her tongue invading mine as she kept control of my shower. My pulsing d**k was getting ideas again and I had to try and enjoy the moment and not get greedy and take her there in the shower, like my wolf was crying out for me to do.

She pulled away from me and stepped out of the shower, put a towel around her beautiful body and grabbed another towel for me. I took it from her, not wanting her to dry me or we would never make it to bed for sleep.

Pouting, Madison allowed me to take over and she dried herself and stepped back into the bedroom and redressed herself.

I walked naked out of the bathroom and climbed into the bed. I am not sure what happened after that, because the moment my head hit the pillow, I was fast asleep.
