Royal Crescent Moon

Healing

When we got home, Aiden demanded that Sophie should go to the pack doctor.

"I'm fine."  She argued as she swatted Aiden's hand away, wincing.

"Stop it Soph." Aiden growled, dragging her away by her waist. She sighed in irritation and rolled her eyes. 

"I can look at her." I offered and Aiden's head whipped towards me.

"Yes! See, Denny can check on me." Sophie replied, relieved. It seems everyone was calling me Denny, and there was no way to stop it. Sophie then grabbed my hand and pulled me inside the house. She led me all the way to the kitchen and sat on the bench, looking at me expectantly. Scoffing, I motioned Sophie to turn on her side. She sat cross-legged on the kitchen table as I lifted her shirt up. If I remember correctly, Jessie slammed her into the lockers, pretty hard. As I lifted her pink shirt, a harsh bruise revealed itself. Aiden took in a sharp breath behind me, as if he was the one in pain. Her shoulder blades and the side of her ribs were painted in a sickly yellow and deep blue. Instinctively, my fingers caressed the ghastly bruise. Remembering the training from Rowan, I willed the warm feeling of energy to her skin, the dark blue, purplish marks fading. I could only heal the injury and get rid of some of the pain, and by the time I was finished, only pale, yellow lesions remained. She poked at her skin in wonder, her own supernatural healing forcing the yellow bruised away. 

"See, I'm totally fine." Sophie smiled, hopping off the bench to hug me again. 

"Thanks Denny." She said happily. Aiden stood there, frozen in shock as Sophie grabbed his arm and hauled him away. I turned to the only person left in the room, Jace. 

"That was amazing." He mused, his arms hooking around my waist.

"It was the least I can do. That b***h f*****g pushed her, I swear I was going to-" I started ranting, my skin crackling with energy.

"Shhh." Jace hushed me, his face nuzzling my hair. 

"Don't shut me up! That wolf deserved it." I declared angrily as I pushed away Jace's arms.

"Her face though, it looked like she saw a ghost!" I exclaimed happily. Jace looked at me in bewilderment, his brows bunched together in confusion.

"What?" I asked him, snaking my arms around his middle.

"I don't know what to do with you, your moods are giving me whiplash." He explained. I ignored his comment and snickered. 

"Hey guys." Danny said as he wondered into the kitchen. "We're going to watch a movie in the living room."

"Okay." Jace replied and he removed his arms from my body to follow him out of the kitchen. He didn't get far. I refused to unlatch my arms from his body.

"Come on, Denny." He sighed. He was probably fed up with being around me 24/7, I would be too.

"No I'm not." He said, listening through the mind-link. I put my head on his chest and cut of the mind-link, content on staying here. I lazily closed my eyes, I could fall asleep right now if I tried. Jace then bent down and his hands gripped underneath my thighs. He effortlessly lifted me up and my legs involuntarily hooked around his waist. He walked out of the kitchen and into the living room where Danny was sitting in a seat with Izzy on his lap. 

"You're so lazy." Danny complained and I didn't even bother to move my head from Jace's shoulder.

"No I'm not." I replied, still latching onto Jace. He sat down onto the couch next to Izzy and Danny and I sprawled out with my head on his lap. 

"Okay then, when was the last time you went training?" Danny asked me.

"I don't know, I forgot." I mumbled, rolling around to change positions. I was really tired, maybe it's because I stay up late every night. It's not my fault I can't sleep. We all continued to watch the movie, but I wasn't really paying attention. Jace had his hand on my stomach and I tilted my head back to look at him. He was staring at the TV. My fingers trailed up his hands and traced his forearm. I looked back up to see him still concentrated on the movie. I felt my face scrunch up in a frown and I decided to shock him. He jumped a little and groaned in pain, cradling his arm.

"What happened?" Izzy asked.

"She electrocuted me." He grumbled, rubbing his arm. Danny snickered and Jace gave me a lingering look before he turned back to watch the movie. I sat up, blatantly staring at him as he watched the TV. The lack of attention bugged me for some reason, so I did the only thing I can think of.

"What the f**k?" Jace growled as I electrocuted him again, harder. I giggled at his anger and he finally looked at me, making me freeze in my spot. He glowered down at me and I couldn't help but laugh at him again. He lunged forward, his hands swiping to grab me, but I was quicker. I jumped over the arm rest and ran out of the room. Hearing Jace snarl, I knew he followed me as I flew down the hall and out the back door. I sprinted across the green grass until I got to the edge of the forest. Not bothering with my clothes, I shifted into my wolf and turned to face Jace. He glared hungrily at me, mischief in his eyes. He took off his shirt, revealing a solid chest of hard muscle. It took everything in my to convince my wolf not to jump on his bones. He shrugged off his pants and boxers, not bothering to hid his nudity. I didn't mind. Jace's eyes then shifted black, matching the raven colour of his hair. He morphed into his wolf and my wolf almost fell off her paws. His wolf was black as night, with green eyes, the colour of the forest. He emitted a low, vicious growl that had my wolf, Keelie, shivering in delight. He took a slow step forward and she was off, running into lush, dense forest surrounding the territory. I heard the rhythm of Jace's paws, hitting the ground behind me and I tried to speed up. Jace caught up, nipping and biting at my back legs, and I soon had enough of running. I suddenly stopped, making Jace and I tumble over each other. His wolf was on top of me, holding me against the ground. 

"Why did you do that?"  I heard him snarl through the mind-link.

"You weren't paying attention to me." I sulked back and I heard him laugh in my mind. His large head lowered down my stomach, sniffing until he reached in between my legs. I move him away, but he continued to inspect my stomach with his nose, probably checking my virtue was still intact. Growling, I tried to push him off, but he was too big. He backed off and let shake my coat free of leaves and dirt. His wolf nudged me as I stood next to him, pushing me over onto the ground. Keelie got back up, trying to shove him onto the forest floor. He didn't even budge when she rammed into him. He snorted at my attempts and pushed me again, like some little child, and I fell onto ground. I turned away, completely fed up with his bullshit, but his jaws clamped around the scruff of my neck, placing me back in front of him. I sprawled down on the ground, not even caring to move. I heard bones crack and flesh squelch, Jace turning back into his human form. He sauntered over to me, running a hand through my fur coat. Keelie growled in satisfaction, letting me shift back into human form. As soon as I looked him in the eye, in dawned on me, I was completely naked. I whirled around and started walking deeper into the forest, to God know's where. I felt my face flush and I immediately wanted to shift back. My body wasn't perfect, my body wasn't even appealing. I was an ant compared to Jace. If there was one word to describe me, it would be small. I leaned onto the side of a tree, supporting myself as I stepped over a log. I kept walking and walking. Maybe he wasn't behind me anymore. I glanced over my shoulder, and in all my thinking, I didn't realise he was right behind me. As soon as I stopped his arms snaked around my waist and pulled me back into his body.

"You are none of those things." He whispered harshly into my ear, like he was insulted. Stupid mind-link, I thought. His head dipped into my neck and I could feel his whole front pressed against me. His solid chest, his muscled stomach, his erection. Heat exploded at my core and I squeezed my thighs together so he wouldn't smell my lust. I was supposed to finish my heat today, about time. He inhaled deeply and spun me around to face him. My breasts were pressed against his chest, his manhood against my stomach.

"You're beautiful." He muttered against my neck. Beautiful, I thought. What an outrageous thing to be called. I wasn't even close. My arms wrapped around his neck and I reached up onto my toes. He was unbelievably tall that I could't even reach his face. My hand gripped the back of my head, forcing him down to my height. I kissed him softly and passionately, feeling him press every inch into me. Our tongues melted together and the kiss turned hotter, hungrier. He bent down, closer to the ground and he gently placed me down against the forest floor, still managing to kiss me. My legs wrapped around his waist as me hands glided through his hair. Jace broke away from my lips, biting and sucking the skin on my neck. I moaned in pleasure as he made his way down to my chest, kneading and sucking my breasts. He made his way back to my lips and groaned as I grind my hips on his. His hands went lower and lower and I felt him position himself at my entrance. I didn't care that we were in the middle of the woods, I needed him, now.

"Do it." I breathed and he plunged himself into me. I cried out in satisfaction as I felt him fill me. It hurt a like a b***h at first at first, but the pain soon faded into pleasure with each thrust. Jace's mouth hovered over my collarbone, his canines out.

"Jace." I breathed and he snarled in return. His fangs scraped across the skin of my neck until he bit into my flesh. A wave of euphoria passed through me and I cried out. He sucked the mark clean and a rush of dominance flushed through me. I rolled on top of Jace and he moaned. I felt my eyes glow silver and my canines split through my gums. The next second, I clamped onto his next, marking him, claiming him as mine. He groaned in content and I felt myself climax. He pulled out, his hot seed all over my stomach. I collapsed on top of him, huffing from exhaustion. 

"That was amazing." Jace murmured and I felt myself blush. I kissed his temple, his jaw, his neck and licked the fresh wound that was his mark. His hands rested on my hips and I continued to clean his wound. His blood tasted metallic and crackled in my mouth. He was still breathing heavily underneath me and I rolled off of his body. It was night time, we must have been out here for hours. Jace gripped my ass and pulled close to him and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Now your mine."  He grunted into my ear. 

After a few minutes, I stood up.

"I think I need a shower." I stated, looking down down at the mess on my body.

"I like you like that." He replied, getting off the ground. I rolled my eyes at his dirty comment, secretly loving it. 

"Race you back." I said, before shifting into my wolf form and sprinting back into the woods. Jace growled and the sound of bones snapping soon followed. Jace was then by my side, racing me back to the house. I obviously beat him and he shifted back to get his clothes. He tugged on his pants and placed his shirt over my head. It reached halfway down my thighs, thankfully covering everything.

"I won." I smiled as I adjusted his shirt.

"No you didn't, I let you win." He replied. I chuckled at him, he knew I won. He slowly opened the door and let me into the house. I cringed as it creaked a little when Jace tried to close it.

"Shut up," I quietly hissed at him. He shook his head, scowling at me until I said. "Your being to loud."

"I'm not the one that's loud." He replied cheekily and I felt my whole face redden. I slapped him on the shoulder. "No I'm not."

"Do I have to f**k you again to prove you wrong?" He said huskily in my ear. My eyes widened and my mouth dropped open. Before I could say anything, the light flicked on. 

"Hello." Izzy said sweetly. I turned to her, still shocked by Jace's comment. Standing beside her were Sophie and Aiden, s**t-eating grins on their faces.

"Where have you two been?" Izzy said, interrogating us.

"We went for a run." Jace shrugged and I nodded in agreement. Damn, he's such a good liar.

"Whatever you say. Now go have a shower, you two reek of sex." She smiled and I groaned, so much for being sneaky. I was so glad Danny wasn't here, I would never hear the end of it. I grabbed Jace's arm dragging him past our little crowd of people. 

"I think we smell great." Jace said proudly and I stopped to hit him again. Izzy giggled and Aiden laughed hysterically. We made it to the stairs when I let go of his arm.

"Why did you do that?" I sighed, Izzy would definitely tell Danny now.

"What? It's true." He responded, slapping my bare ass. I squeal a little, jumping. 

"Whatever." I mumbled, opening the door to Jace's room. As soon as I stepped inside, I made my way straight to the bathroom. I walked inside and tugged of Jace's shirt, wiping the residue of him off my skin. Turning the shower on, I stepped under the hot water. 

"Ow." Jace said from behind me and I whirled around in a fright. I was about to throw a bottle of shampoo, but I turned to see him in the shower, adjusting the water temperature. "Why is it so hot?"

"What are you doing in here?" I asked, completely ignoring his question. He shrugged and the water turned slightly colder.

"You left the door open." He replied calmly, stepping closer to me. He grabbed my hips and pushed my against the shower wall. His lips captured mine in a kiss and he lifted me up by my thighs and my legs wrapped around him, ready for another round.

I woke up to Jace asleep on his stomach and me half-sprawled across his back. My fingers involuntarily traced the wicked tattoo on his shoulder blades when I suddenly had the feeling to go to the bathroom. I slowly rolled off of Jace, feeling the cold brush against my nakedness. I sat up, rubbed my eyes free of sleep and shuffled to the other side of the bed. Before I cold even place one foot on the ground, I felt the weight of the mattress shift and large, strong arms wrapped around my waist. Jace pulled me back into his chest and his hand moved tortuously lower.

"Where are you going?" He huskily asked me, but I didn't get to answer. His hand dipped towards my s*x, rubbing against me. My back arched against him and I moaned in at his touch.

"Stay here." He murmured into my ear and I shivered even more.

"I need to pee." I said, suddenly finding my voice. My hand gripped his arm and finally removed it. 

"Fine." I growled, rolling over again. I slipped out of the bed and into the bathroom to do my business. I washed my hands and used Jace's toothbrush to brush my teeth. What? I use the same mouth to kiss him. I exited the bathroom and climbed back onto the bed. I got under the covers and hugged Jace from behind. He refused to turn over and look at me, and I knew he was awake.

"Jace." I said, but he didn't answer. I began kissing his tattoo on his shoulder and he squirmed a bit. He rolled on top of me, his face in my neck. 

"I love the way you smell." He murmured lowly, his voice still rough from sleep. My hands twirled around  the inky black locks of his hair, smirking at his compliment. 

"I have to take you home today." He said, his head now rolled to the side as he traced the scars on the left side of my body. My eyes widened, but I couldn't move because of Jace.

"What are Even and Rowan going to say?" I exclaimed. Jace chuckled, his fingers trailing over my marred skin. 

"I'd be more worried about Danny." He snickered and I groaned loudly in irritation.

"And your going away for four days!" I cried, my hands waving around in exasperation. I pushed Jace off and sat up.

"And Reese!" I yelled, my hands over my head as I fell dramatically back onto the mattress. 

"You can stay at my house if you want." I said, kissing and sucking the skin on my shoulder, making sure to leave a mark. It was tempting, but I told Evie I was coming home Sunday.

"I can't, I told mum I would go home today." I said, voicing my thoughts. Jace chuckled for some unknown reason and I turned to face him.

"I love your accent." He explained and my brows raised in question. "It's hot." He said, rolling on top of me again.

----

I walked downstairs after having a shower, dreading the people that would be waiting for me in the kitchen. Walking into the room to see Izzy leaning on the bench and Danny eating what looked like a plate of bacon and my stomach grumbled. I sauntered up to him and stole a piece. 

"Need some energy from your nighttime activities?" Danny mocked and hit him in the shoulder.

"You always f*****g do this." I exclaimed, stealing another piece of bacon. "And I could say the same for you, dickwad." Danny scowled at me and continued eating his bacon.

"That shut you up." I replied, stealing more food. Izzy laughed at him and Danny started to complain to her. I knew that they were mated, I saw the fresh mark on her neck. Jace walked into room, his keys in his hand.

"Ready?" He asked me. I sighed, time to face the music.
