The cursed wolves: Fated Mates

CHAPTER FOUR

Sophie POV

Unfortunately for Jake, we never did get around to later.

It's been an entire week since our little encounter on the kitchen table. I had pretty much done anything and everything to keep myself separate from Jake. My whole body ached for him and i just didn't know how to control myself. I had decided the next morning that I would figure out exactly what was happening between the 2 of us once I had figured out how to avoid being forced to mate to some random mutt and killed. Not that I had any clue where to start on that front.

It was actually quite easy to maintain my distance from Jake. Although I was currently living with him, he was actually never home. I wondered if maybe he was avoiding me for the same reasons, but that thought hurt too much, so I instantly pushed it to one side and convinced myself he must have had important Alpha duties or something. I had actually spent most of my week taking care of the house and spending my evenings having girls' nights in with Caroline. It was so refreshing now that the cards were all on the table, our friendship felt stronger than ever now we could be ourselves with each other.

"So my beautiful sidekick, what's the movie choice this evening?"

"Hello! Earth to Sophie! Are you with me over there, or are we daydreaming about our hunky alpha again? Haha" Caroline said whilst laughing mockingly at me.

"Oh god did i do it again! Im so sorry, i just can't seem to get him out of my head C! It's driving me crazy. All I want is for him to walk through that door and...Well, just walk through the door and stay would be a first." I replied.

I couldn't help but stare towards the door. If he was going to come home this evening he would have done it by now I guess. It wasn't like it was early, we were nearing midnight. I had spent all week distracting myself with one task or another yet for some reason, today I had just felt on edge. Like something bad was about to happen and I just needed him here with me.

"Have you ever come across wolves that have this effect on each other before Caroline?"

Caroline was nearly 75 years old, she was actually classed as fairly young with her coven. Most witches lived to around 150, some even neared 200 years of age. Something about spending time in their own realm, honestly, it baffled me completely. Caroline was slightly fague on the details. Not that I pushed for answers, witches can be very tricky with their details on what to share, and I didn't want to offend her. After all she was pretty much my only friend right now.

"No sorry sweety. But it's not exactly un heard of, especially around wolves. Surely even you have heard the stories of what it was like for destined mates to find each other. It may have been a few years, and a few more than that, since it last happened, but the facts haven't changed."

I literally just stared at her. Surely she didn't believe that me & Jake...no that wasn't possible!

Was it? Surely my wolf would have made me aware. My mind was racing, trying to think back to every feeling and thought that had run between the 2 of us since we met. The way his scent drove me crazy, the overwhelming electricity that shot between us just at the mere touch of his hand on mine.

Turning to Caroline, my reply came out in a rush of words. "Surely this isn't possible? The curse has always prevented this! Why now? Why me & Jake? Why didn't anyone tell me what this was, why I was feeling this way towards someone who was a complete stranger less than 2 weeks ago?"

Taking a breath, I realised I had grabbed hold of Caroline's arms in frustration.

"Firstly, Ouch," said Caroline whilst prying my hands away.

"What...

what do I do now?" Was all I could think.

Caroline removed her arms away and took my hand in her. "And secondly, Sweety, you know exactly what to do, stop fighting yourself and do it. I'm going to go and give you some space. I think some time alone to think might be just what you need."

She gave me a brief hug, stood and started walking towards the door. I hadn't even moved a muscle. Looking back at me, she simply replied, "Call me if you need me."

And that was that. I was officially alone again with only my thoughts. I couldn't help but feel slightly giddy. If this was in fact what Caroline thought it was, and I was starting to have no doubt she was right, I could finally give into my own desires and give myself to Jake. He was already mine and I his. That's how it worked, right? I was desperately trying to rack my brain and remember the stories my mother used to tell me. It had been years since, but as a child they were my version of a cinderella story.

As usual I was so focused on what was going through my own mind that i didn't hear the car pull up in the drive way, I only realised when the door opened and the room instantly filled with the glorious scent of Jake. I'm not sure if it was just not seeing him for the last few days, or just the realisation that this beautiful man was my destiny, but my heart was now pounding so hard It felt like it was about to rip out of my own chest. My breathing had become hard, and I instantly wanted to wrap my arms around him and have him make me his.

"Hi" Hi," we both said in unison, then laughed.

Jakes POV

As I turned off the ignition to the car, I couldn't help but hope that Sophie would be awake. So far this week, I had only seen her a few times, but this evening, i was determined to change that. I could feel that she wanted to keep her distance, but enough was enough now. She either wanted to be with me or she didn't, I refuse to avoid my own home any longer.

My wolf let out a slight moan. He wanted her as badly as I did. But I've learned over the years that no matter what attraction lingers between 2 wolves, you can not force these things. I should know enough she devil wolves had tried tying me down over the years. Not that I hadn't enjoyed the attempts, but it was always more about the Luna title than me. I know Sophie is different, I could feel it, but I wouldn't force her. Being a Luna for a pack you do not even belong to would be hard even for an Alphas daughter, I wouldn't dream of asking her to do that as much as it woild pain me to let her go.

I could feel my feet dragging as I walked towards the door, I really didn't want to go through this tonight. As I opened the door, the usual sweet smells travelled through me, Sophies scent was never something I could get used to. Every time I entered the front door it nearly knocked me over. Feeling the hunger for her travel through me straight to my manhood. There she was, sitting in my favourite chair looking so sweet and delicious I could feel my c**k harden slightly.

"Hi," I said, instantly feeling nervous as she said the same thing.

"So how was your girls' night? I'm surprised to not see more drinks drank." I mentally smacked myself, I was actually trying small talk. Just man up Jake and say what you've been desperately holding back all week.

I walked towards Sophie nice and slowly, giving her the opportunity to walk away if she wanted. But praying she wouldn't at the same time. The closer we got to each other, the more the electricity flowed between us. God, this was going to kill me if she rejected us, I don't think my wolf would recover.

Here goes nothing.

Sophie POV

I couldn't break eye contact as Jake got closer and closer towards me. I didn't want to, not this time, not now I know what this could be. God, he was going slow! I stood abruptly and just ran towards him. I couldn't hold back any longer.

With no surprise, Jakes arms were ready and waiting. He lifted me with such ease off the ground whilst I wrapped my legs firmly around his body, our lips meeting instinctively. I could feel us moving around the house as Jake carried me with ease up the stairs towards what I only hoped was his bedroom. My lips still enjoying the taste of him as he deepened the kiss using his tongue to expertly explore the inside of my mouth. My mind racing, I could only imagine how amazing it would feel to have his tongue between my legs exploring my now dripping centre. I felt a moan escape through me at the thought. Jake stopped and pulled back to look at me, the smirk on his face showing his enjoyment for my desire for him.

"I don't think I've ever been so turned on by a single sound before," said Jake.

Panic ran through me.

The realisation of my situation had dawned on me. I wanted this man so much and was willing to give him every part of me. But he didn't even know what that meant to me, what the huge difference between us was.

Jake's expression changed to confusion as I climbed down from him and sat on the edge of his bed. I couldn't pull myself to look at him directly, so I lowered my head to avoid his gaze.

"Sophie, baby, what just happened?"

"I'm sorry, I just had to stop, just for a moment." I knew this saving myself crap would come to bite me in the a**.

"I'm just going to spit this one out before I lose my nerves." I said whilst Jake just stared with confusion.

Here goes nothing i told myself.

"We're not exactly at the same urm experience levels, Jake. I don't want to put any pressure on you or this or anything really but I just feel like if this was to go were I hope it was going then it wouldn't be something you didn't notice." OK, that was a bit of a ramble!

Jake was knelt down in front of me now, slowly holding my face, guiding my eyes to meet his.

"Sophie," he said so softly, taking a pause.

"It's OK to not have the most experience, to have not been as urm...intimate I guess with other people." He looked nervous as he was saying this, but I could tell he still had no idea how much non experience I was referring to!

I looked into his beautiful blue eyes and made the decision to just say it and see how he reacted. Slightly losing my nerve, I looked more towards the floor.

"Jake"

"I'm a virgin." There I said it, now I can breathe.

I heard the rush of air from Jakes gasp and started to wonder how disappointed he would be. He was probably expecting a s*x goddess and he had me instead!

"How did I find you?" Was all he replied.

Lips now meeting mine I was in pure shock. It took me a moment to realise and pull away.

"Wait, this doesn't bother you?"

"How could this bother me! Sophie, you are the most beautiful person I have ever come across, I'm in complete awe of you. Surely men have thrown themselves at you, and yet here you are, this amazing wolf, destined Alpha, and I thank the moon goddess that she sent you to me."

"There isn't anyone I could desire more than you, more than my mate."

I couldn't help but gasp. He called us his mate! He knew we were destined, and I didn't have a doubt in my mind about the moon goddesses choice. This man was perfect for us.

Words nolonger needed our lips found eachother, I could feel the pull of the mate bond between us again. I slowly lay back on the bed and Jake reading my intention had his body pressed against mine in seconds. Using his arms to support himself on top i used mine to undress him. I couldn't help but rip the buttons off his shirt, desperately needing to have my hands on his chest, to feel the muscle underneath. His now very hard c**k was rubbing against exactly the right place causing small moans to escape.

"Oh god, Jake!" I could hear my own voice escaping me as I felt my arousal growing. His hands worked around mine until we were both fully undressed and our now completely naked bodies pressed together.

I hadnt let my thoughts wonder too much towards what Jake would look like underneath his clothes before now, but now that I could see and feel every muscle I know I would never have ever done him justice in my head. The soft hair on his chest just enough to increase his manliness and incredibly perfect muscles underneath, now showing he wasn't just a big guy but was clearly a very strong guy who could handle anyone or thing. The strength of his Alpha clearly not underestimated. I couldn't help but move my hands all over his chest, needing to feel every muscle. Kissing his chest as I start to make my way downwards towards his manhood.

Clearly sensing were I was headed I could here a grown escape Jakes mouth, instantly making me wetter than before. Before I could reach my destination, Jakes hands grabbed me to pull me back up, his lips on mine in seconds.

"I want to taste you inside my mouth" was all he muttered against my lips.

I wasn't sure at first what he meant. He then flipped us around and started kissing my neck, making his was down, slightly nibbling my n*****s on the way. The further he went the wetter I could feel myself getting. At this point I didn't care what Jake wanted to do. Everything he was doing sent the most amazing sensations through me, I trusted him completely.

Seconds later, my legs were on either side of his head, and Jake had disappeared between them using his tongue to kiss my centre in the most exhilarating way, sending all of my senses crazy. With the most intense build-up I had ever felt in my life, I felt my whole body convulsing into what I can only imagine as the best o****m anyone had ever experienced!!
