When they touch me (Shelagh Milano)

Chapter 103 CAYDEN

"Don't move. I'm not ready to wake up yet," I groan into her hair as I feel her squirming in my hold.

Artemisia sighs, relaxing in my arms, making me increase my grip on her. "Won't everybody know that we are in here, and still... I mean..." "Doing it?" I chuckle, and she buries her face against my arm, and I can literally feel her blushing.

“Come on, my love. It's only normal." I kiss her shoulder, making her turn in my arms.

She moves her hands over her head, my hand moving up to grab her breast. Moving my gaze down her body, I squeeze her breast gently, grazing her hardened nipple with my knuckles.

"I don't know," she moans lowly. "I still have to get used to the stamina you all have."

I crack up, pulling against my frame to bury my face into her hair, breathing her in. “I knew as I saw him that Ricky-boy lacked in that department too." She chuckles, shaking her head. "Compared to you or your brothers... Him finishing is practically your warm-up."

I laugh, grazing her shoulder with my lips, kissing the spot where I marked her. She moans, enjoying the waves of pleasure that it sends through her body. "It suits you perfectly."

"Are you happy?" she asks me, making me take a deep breath.

"More than happy," I answer, hugging her closer. "Over the moon.”

After I had rejected my fated mate, I felt like I was cursed. I was sure that the Moon Goddess had chosen Rachel for me explicitly to punish me. So, I came to think that rejecting her would get me damned forever. Never would I have imagined that I needed to crawl through hell to find my paradise.

Artemisia turns in my arms to face me, and after wrapping her arms around me, she rubs her nose against mine, scrunching up her face cutely. "I'm glad."NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

"Did you notice that you marked me as well?" I ask her, making her nod happily.

"Yeah, when she is in for something, then to take her place as a Luna," she says jokingly, and I move to lay on top of her.

Her squeal transforms into a giggle as she squirms beneath me. I capture her lips with mine, getting her to stop and my heart flutters as she sighs against my lips happily.

Breaking the kiss, I wait for her to open her eyes and meet my gaze as I grin. "Welcome to the Red Fang Pack, my Luna. You are now officially part of the strongest pack in the Northern Hemisphere, which makes us the strongest reigning couple in it.”

“Oh, my Goddess,” Artemisia breathes out, biting her bottom lip. "But what really matters to me is if my Alpha would be interested in another round before we have to leave this heaven."

“Oh, I thought you'd never ask," I pull her up getting on my knees as she grabs onto me with a happy giggle.

If it were for me, we would never leave this place.

"Well, I guess congratulations are due, brother," Logan looks at me defiantly, his hands in his pockets as I step up to his cage.

Maybe I should just let him rot in here.

"Thank you, Logan," I answer, spinning the key in my hand. "Are you ready to behave?"

"Yeah," he nods, lowering his gaze and I go to open his cell door.

Just as he passes me, his gaze falls onto my shoulder, where my mark must be sticking out slightly from underneath my shirt. Logan halts, pulling at my shirt to reveal

Artemisia's mark, "She marvel

you?"

I shrug as if it wasn't totally incredible. "Yeah. Why? Did you expect her to mark you back as you took her by force?"

"I didn't..." he starts, swallowing his anger and lowering his voice. "No, of course not."

"So... her wolf connected with yours?" he asks further, making me distort my face.

“Something like this, but not like you would imagine. After the marking, she retreated and refuses to talk to Aiden."

"Is he pissed?" he asks with a stupid grin, and I shake my head.

"No, he understands that she will come around eventually. The marking is already a great sign, so We will just continue to give her all the time she needs. He is sure that he can get her to talk to him soon anyway."

"Of course," he murmurs, walking out with a lowered head.

I know that he regrets what he has done. And I have made sure by talking about it with Artemisia that she had gotten her apology.

After she was okay with letting him out, I was confident about it being a good move as well.

Also, it would be a pity if any of us would miss the ball, seeing what we have planned for her.

I walk up the stairs, following my brother silently and I'm just about to push out a relieved sigh as I have reached my quarters as a sickeningly sweet scent invades my nostrils.

Bloody vamp.

Bursting into my office, I see him standing next to my window, grinning mockingly. His deep red eyes show me that he had a great time while he was in town, making me click my tongue.

"My Alpha," he bows theatrically.

I groan, closing the door behind me as I see him sniff the air for the first time.

I know... We stink.

“I'm having the most perfect of days, Hendrick. Don't ruin it."

He chuckles, passing his hand through his sand-coloured hair. "I just came by to give you my little report before fleeing the territory again." "Why?" I ask, stepping behind my desk to sit down into my chair. But before I can put up a worried expression, it dawns on me. "Ah, I forgot. The ball."

"Yeah," he says. "I love you all, my dearest furry brothers and sisters, but I still have to avoid having you all in one place. I think that I would lose my olfaction forever."

I crack up, and he laughs shortly before he leans down to me, sniffing again with a confused expression.
