Alpha Chase and his Beautiful Witch

Chapter Twenty One

Emily

I woke up to the noise of the shower running in the bathroom.  I stretched out like a cat, taking a deep breath of the smell on the linen.  I don’t think I have ever slept as well as I did last night. Normally I wake up at least once, but lying in Chase’s arms, my body fully relaxed, trusting in the safety of his warmth.  

I see from the corner of my eye a magnificent beast emerging from the steam of the bathroom.  In a large grey towel covering the lower part of his body, the area between my legs has a mind of its own.  Images start to flood my brain, I don’t know if it's Chase’s or mine, but I notice the growl and the beast moving towards me.  

His eyes have turned black, his wolf is surfacing, at this point he seemed more wolf than normal.  His movements were like an animal stalking his prey.  “I can smell you Em,” A blush begins to form on my face.  He crawls onto the bed, inching closer and closer …...If he starts something now, I am not sure if I can stop him.  I feel his lips slowly moving down my neck, he begins to nip at my sensitive spot, the one I know he will use to mark me.  I feel his tongue licking, sucking, it’s almost painful, but the pleasure is worth the pain.  My body is in a frenzy, unsure how to handle these new emotions.  Slowly he pulls away, leaving a trail of kisses before he looks at me with his signature smile.  

“Now everyone will know that you are mine,” A growl escapes his lips.  I am sure he can see, feel, smell how flushed and excited I am.  I am so innocent that I am not sure if this is good or bad.  

“How will they know?” I ask innocently

“Go and look in the mirror’” he smirks.  

I jump up from the bed and run straight into the bathroom.  I look into the mirror and to my horror there, on my neck is the most enormous hickey.  My hair will be up tonight for the mating ceremony, everyone will be able to see it.  

Chase must've seen my look of shock and burst out laughing.  His arms wrap themselves around my stomach.  

“Chase! How can I go to the mating ceremony looking like this, everyone will comment.”

“I don’t care what they think, I am the next Alpha and I want anyone who sees you today to know you are mine.  If Reis gets one glimpse of you, I want him to know you belong to me, NOT HIM.”  His voice began to raise, I could feel the tension beginning to rise.  I turned myself towards him, and looked him straight in the eyes.  

“I am yours, only yours”. I stood on my tip toes and began to kiss his neck slowly leaving a gentle line of small kisses along his neck.  He was so tall that if he hadn’t begun to move down towards me, I would not have been able to reach.  His breathing began to slow down and his eyes turned back to their beautiful shade of green.   He pulled me tightly towards him, breathing in my scent.  He gently kissed my forehead saying “Why don’t you shower and get dressed.  We will have some breakfast and then we will drop you and Cara off at your Aunts.  My dad has arranged warriors to protect the house while you are getting ready.”  He begins to chuckle. 

“What?” I say confused by why he is laughing.  

“I am not sure why we need 50 Warriors, no one is getting past your Dad.”

I begin to giggle as well.  He is absolutely right, my dad would not allow anyone to get within an inch of us.  

I remember when Cara and I were about 16, a group of high ranking wolves approached us, trying to coax us to go out with them.  These boys were really nasty, Luke, one of Reis and Leo’s friends, was there.  His thoughts and desires were far worse than anyone I had ever seen.  My dad happened to walk past and saw what was happening.  He threw two of them through a window while the rest ran away.  Of course my dad being a true gentleman paid for the windows to be repaired, they belonged to our local ice-cream parlour, the old lady running the business with her granddaughter.  Chase was laughing at the story as well.  “I can just picture your dad doing that.”  

I smiled at Chase’s response, I liked the fact that he respected my dad, he understood the importance of my relationship with him.  Chase leaned over and gave me a quick peck on the cheek.  He left me to get ready for the day with promises of a home cooked breakfast.
