The cursed wolves: Fated Mates

CHAPTER THREE

Sophie POV

Ouch, my head!

That was my first thought. My second was pure panic as I have no I idea where I am. My last thought was of Jake being attacked by the wolves and wondering how badly he might have been hurt. Without Caroline's witchy assistance, there was no way we got out of that. But something didn't quite feel right?

My hands and legs weren't bound together by anything.

My bruise on my head was softly resting on a comfortable pillow.

Come to think of it, I was actually quite comfortable and clearly tucked into a blanket on a sofa somewhere.

And that smell, God, that was amazing!

Wait, I know that scent, that was Jake! That meant I hadn't been captured at all. Oh, thank god.

I slowly opened my eyes to confirm my suspicions and sure enough there he was, my Greek god of a saviour soundlessly asleep on a chair closest to me. His eyes were closed which gave me the perfect opportunity to linger my stare on those beautiful features. He was, of course, incredibly handsome. His mess of blonde hair disheveled and the slight shadow of stubble showing he hadn't shaved in a few days. God this man was going to be my undoing.

"How's your head?" Jake spoke softly, eyes still shut.

"Oh urm, fine thank you. It just feels a little tender. Nothing that won't heal up in a few hours. How long have I been asleep?"

"Just a few hours. It's not long til dawn." He replied, eyes now open and focused entirely on me.

I could feel the electricity building between us with every second. I needed to look away but every inch of my body wouldnt let me. He can feel it, I know he can. The way his jaw tightens at my arousel for him, the sweet scent pulsing through the air between us. I don't know how long I can resist him, I don't think I even want to try. The thought of his body on mine, his lips touching every inch of me. I could feel the moisture between my legs growing, the need for him to touch me there burning through me.

I could see the reaction on Jake's face at my thoughts. He knew exactly what thoughts were playing around in my head. His jaw tense and the obvious evidence from his now very hard c**k showing through his joggers. This just intensified my need for him. He could smell my arousal, tell how wet and ready I was for him.

One of us needed to do something before this became complicated. I needed to stop this, arranged marriage or not I am a high Alpha's daughter, to give myself to Jake would be to portrait my wolf, my self and everything I have ever believed.

Pushing all of my desire for this man to one side I cleared my throat loadly and tried to take control of the situation. Before I lost all my senses!

"Where are we? I need to speak to Caroline so I can arrange my exit strategy before my step-father arrives"

OK I may have said that slightly colder than planned.

" I hope you don't mind but I thought it best you stayed out of sight so we decided my own home was the safest. Caroline is back at the bar with Liam, he was the one who saved our arses this evening. Incase you wondered."

Jake stood up quickly and without looking at me started walking away whilst speaking.

"I can arrange for some fresh clothes and anything else you may need whilst your hear. I wouldn't recommend adventuring much further than the back yard. Nobody hear would dare defy my orders but I think it best as little people as possible know where you are."

I couldn't stand seeing him with his back to me like that, speaking so abruptly. I jumped to my feet and followed behind.

We had entered a beautiful rustic kitchen with a huge island in the middle and a rather large dining room table at the end of the room. I wondered how big his family was, I always wanted a big family. My siblings and I never got along. The 2 brothers I thought I always wanted, they did nothing but shun me my entire life. My youngest brother, Adam, he was OK. We had our issues but he was always kind, always tried his best not to get involved in whatever games Malcolm and his eldest Matteo decided to play, normally something to embaress or hurt me. Either way, I had always longed for that perfect family life, everyone happy, laughing and enjoying eachothers company around the dinner table. I think that was why I always held back with the pack, the knowledge that it would never live up to the fantasy in my head. It was better to dream and never actually find out its all a delusion.

Jake had stopped near the table and was looking over some scattered papers.

With my shoulders held high I spoke to Jake's currently turned back and tried my hardest to sound determined and in control.

"I understand that this evening you felt a need to help with the wolves. But I don't need to stay here, what I need is to go a thousand miles from here and keep going. Malcolm will never stop hunting me, I should never have even stayed this long."

I could see the tension in his shoulders suddenly appear. He whipped around and strode back towards me with such intensity and speed it stunned me.

"I did not NEED to do anything!"

"Do you wonder why I stepped in this evening? Why I stayed at the bar past closing. I stayed for you!"

Jake continued whilst softly stroking the side of my cheek.

"As soon as i looked into those beautiful brown eyes I was stuck. Do you believe I could have walked away from you this evening, left you at the bar and just hoped nobody came back for you?"

"I don't know why and I don't know how I could feel this after barely an evening with you. But I NEED to keep you safe!"

"I won't let any harm come to you Sophie, I will stand beside you and protect you for as long as I am needed...and wanted."

The last part came out more in a whisper. My heart was racing. I couldn't understand this desire we had for one another, it scared me but now, with Jake standing so close I could feel his warm breath on my cheek sending goosebumps right down to my core and I didn't care. I wanted him by my side, I needed him near me.

My lips where on Jakes before I could even registered. The soft caress of his hand at the base of my back, grabbing me, pulling me closer to him to deepen our kiss. I could feel the desire between my legs getting wetter. As if he had entered my thought he pulled me up in one swift moment and had me on the table. The papers now swept all over the floor and my legs wrapped securely around his waist, I could feel his hard c**k pulsing through his joggers barely a sliver of material between the 2 of us. The feel of his lips travelling down my neck, sending sparks of desire through my entire body. Another moment and i would have let him take me then and there on the kitchen table.

Much to my surprise, I was not relieved when the kitchen door swung open and in strolled Caroline and Liam.

Before I could help myself a slight growl escaped my wolf. Oh god, I covered my face with my hands, mortified what my friends had just walked in on. What must they think of me right now.

"Yeah yeah let's all get our heads back in the game people, there will be time later for that I'm sure" Caroline said sending me a cheeky wink.

Yup, I am definitely mortified.

Before I could even attempt to pull myself together, Jakes eyes were back focused on mine. I'm not sure he even cared they had walked in. The intense desire I could feel from his stare was holding my entire body in place.

Jake placed one last chasted kiss upon my lips and whispered softly against my cheek so only I could hear.

"Don't worry we will continue this later little wolf."
