The Faes Mate

The big bad wolf

POV- Aila

Something slammed against my bruised ribs but I didn’t even have the energy to wince in pain, the exhaustion had set in, so I just lay there motionless and soundless hoping whatever had run into me would just run away, my mind went black again. Moments later, I could feel gentle, cold, wet caresses on my arms and I’m sure a groan left my body, was whatever hit my ribs still here? i felt slight burning sensations as my wounds were… cleaned? Was I being cleaned? In my moment of confusion something was tightened around my arms and then my calves. I just lay there a moment, dreading opening my eyes, kind of unable in my current state, my head hurt, I tried to move and just flopped back again, as I screamed, my throat burned as if a bastard dragon shifter had breathed fire directly into my mouth and lungs. I don’t think much sound came out, but I felt whoever was there lift my head and lay it on something warm, and firm but not hard like the ground it was on previously, I was grateful, I had nothing and no one left to make me feel fear about whoever’s arms I was in. My eyes slowly began to open, meeting the most beautiful piecing blue eyes that in that moment seemed so peaceful, like the calm ocean surrounding the Maldives - a place I used to dream of, watching the merfolk play, hear them sing - but that was before this damned war. As he noticed my eyes open, those eyes… they quickly flashed golden, and a single word left his lips… which I realised were so damn kissable “MATE!”

POV - Fenrir

The beautiful creature in my arms with her head in my lap opened her eyes… they were … lilac? I didn’t have time to deliberate, my wolf started to take control “MATE” she was my mate, I couldn’t keep control any more and my bones began to c***k as he took over the arms holding her sprouted hair as they became huge paws, human was gone, wolf wanted to heal our mate, her eyes showed no emotion yet my heart felt like it was pounding so hard it could beat right out of my chest. I squirmed from beneath her, lowering her gently to the floor. I started nudging my snout against her close to her wounds, I wanted her permission to heal her but didn’t know if she understood, so I looked at her, licked my lips then nudged her again, a sound came from her and I took that as consent. The first time my tongue touched her, it was like eating the best meal in the universe, an explosion of flavour, I tried not to let it arouse me, I was healing her after all. As my tongue caressed her wounds they began to heal quickly infront of my eyes, and she sat up, watching, not in horror, but awe as her cut up arms and calves were as if nothing had ever happened to them. She held her hand to my nose, as if trying to become friends with a dog, and I snorted, which sounded like a wolfy laugh, and licked that outreached hand, her smell was like heaven to me, and each time I breathed I was secretly deeply inhaling. My head nudged her hand, I was craving the touch of my mate, and I felt her fingers curl into my fur, she pulled me towards her and placed her forehead in my neck and began to sob uncontrollably, before long my coat was soaked in her tears and I vowed in that moment I would destroy whatever/whoever did this to my beautiful mate, even if she rejected me, NOONE would get away with this, if I could destroy Gods, I could sure as hell tear apart any other bastard who dared touch her. I’m sure my eyes flashed red with murderous intent at that moment but I forced myself to just let her have her emotions into my fur, and I licked her shoulder then placed my head on it as if to give her a hug. My human wanted out to comfort her but he could wait until her tears dried.

POV - Aila

I didn’t fear the wolf before me, I had known they exist since I was wee (little) I had never seen a werewolf in person before as they didn’t tend to cross onto our land, and we didn’t bother to go to theirs either. He had said “Mate” when our eyes locked, I knew werewolves had mates from stories the elders had shared, but I didn’t think much of it, a Fae couldn’t be a werewolf mate, could they? But somehow this gorgeous man who had turned into a huge beautiful beast seemed to comfort me. My emotions hit me all at once and I needed my face buried in his silvery grey fur to try to hide them, I know I failed, but his warm fur was like a blanket, and his head on my shoulder made me feel safe at last. The tears finally stopped rolling, and I wanted to apologise to him for being such a mess and matting his fur. Reluctantly I tore my face away from his neck, but kept my hands on him, I wasn’t ready to let go “I’m sorry” I mumbled meakly “I didn’t mean to throw all my emotions at you, I’m living a nightmare” and I slowly turned my face away as a single tear rolled down my cheek, making a clean streak through the dirt and blood. My arms fell to my side and I bowed my head. In the next moment a deep somehow velvety but also rough voice rang in my ear “Don’t you dare apologise my beautiful mate. When you feel up to it… I want to know what happened…” “who did this!?!?!” He all but roared as a pained sounding howl broke free from him, as if somehow he was feeling my pain. I turned to look at him and my eyes fell upon a huge bare chest, with washboard abs, I couldn’t help but let my eyes wander and HOLY s**t the size of his d**k. I dragged my eyes away and spoke softly “I’m not ready yet… I need a bath and some food and rest” with that he scooped me into his arms and started striding through the forest. Damn this guy was f*****g huge - in more ways than one. I was so exhausted that I just lay limply allowing him to carry me, wherever he wanted - I felt safe with him. “My name is Aila” I said, a moment later he replied gruffly “beautiful name, I’m Fen….” His name was Fen? It was although he got cut short…

POV - Fenrir

Her name is so beautiful I thought as I started introducing myself “Beautiful name, I’m Fen” I cut myself short I almost told her my name is Fenrir but what if she knew my reputation and ran for the hills? Not that she could… she had gone limp again… I was so worried, I needed to get her back to the house to feed and bathe her, and tuck her into bed, I think she was asleep so I couldn’t ask where her home was.

I broke into a jog and eventually we reached my pack ground. I spoke through the pack bond and told our pack doctor to meet me at my house, told the chefs to prepare at least ten different meals (I didn’t know what Aila liked yet, but I would learn, I would make it my mission to learn everything about her and be the perfect mate) the rest of the pack were told I’d found my mate, the Betas were in charge for minimum of a week while I got acquainted with her. We were not to be bothered except the doc and the chefs. We broke through the door, and I laid her on the guest bed (not my own as we’d be sleeping there soon after bath and food and I didn’t want to have to change the covers) while I ran her a hot bubble bath, the tub was big enough for about 4 of me, and she was absolutely tiny compared to me, she can’t have been more than 5 feet tall. I realised I was still n***d… that didn’t matter right now, I just wanted to take care of Aila. I came back to the room and gently woke her to ask if I may bathe her, and her response came in a nod, so I so carefully peeled her armour off, and her underwear and carried her to the bathroom. Gently placing her in the bubbles, I was glad she had her eyes closed… as there was no way I could hide my arousal from her at seeing her n***d. My d**k was throbbing. I took a jug and wet her hair, watching as the water trickled down her shoulders, and put some of my shampoo on her hair, gently brushing it through with my fingers, before rinsing it out (I had womens stuff from my nesting but I wanted her to smell like me) I asked her if she minded me climbing in so that it was easier to wash her, and she allowed me, so I slipped in behind her, soaping up my hands and getting to work gently massaging her body, making sure every inch of her was clean, except from her privates - I’d treat her like a gentleman she seemed fragile at the moment… though I could feel her heat and she moved closer to my hands as they washed her thighs. Once she was all clean, I stepped out of the bath, grabbed one of my huge towels and pulled the plug, before sweeping her out of the bath and wrapping her in the towel, chuckling a little as it could wrap her 5 times. I didn’t have any womens clothes, and I couldn’t bear to have her smelling like someone else, so for now I dressed her in one of my T-shirts as a dress and contacted a couple of the fashionable women of the paco telling them to each pick twenty tops, and equal amounts of pants, underwear, dresses, hoodies, sportswear, so that Aila had plenty of choice when she felt up to going outside. As I pulled my shirt and shorts on a knock at the door rang out and I knew who it was from smell, the doctor, so I put Aila into my… our… Bed (I hoped so much she’d share with me) and had the doctor come to attend her. I paced the room as Doc ran some tests “she’s dehydrated so I’m going to give her an IV if that’s okay, she looks so exhausted, but other than that she will be physically fine” I replied “thanks Doc you’re the best” another knock “COME IN!” I roared… it was the chefs. “Put the food in the dining room and leave!!!” The doctor looked up “want me to wait until after she’s eaten?” I didn’t reply I just scooped up my mate and took her to the dining room “Wake up love, it’s dinner” her eyes fluttered open and she half laughed at the sheer amount of food before her. My face slightly flushed “what? I don’t know what you like” and we sat down to enjoy our first meal, making small talk to get to know each other, nothing heavy for now, I learned that she is Fae and I was in awe, I’d never met one, but it explained the magical colour of her eyes, I learned that the flowers I love were actually ones that she had enchanted herself as there was something going on with the Fae and no one had bothered recently. We talked, we laughed, and finally she was full after picking some off of every plate - seemed she loved eating as much as I did - gotta remember that. So we went back to the room and I asked her if we could share beds, I’d sleep in wolf form so she didn’t have to be worried or anything, but I didn’t want to be away from my mate, so she agreed and I took her to bed, where the doc had readied up the IV for the night, when

I seen the size of the needle my wolf wanted to break free… and I in human form snarled at the doc. Aila laughed and by god I loved that laugh, and she touched my face “calm down teddy bear” she winked and held her arm out to the doc
