Chapter 20: Opening up
2158 Words
Nick went into alpha mode, his wolf reacting to my omega self. “Sit.” He said.
I did as he asked, and he said, “give me your phone.”
Again, I just gave it to him, and he searched something up and then put the phone down in front of me. He shifted his chair, so he was sat beside me and leaned in close.
He smelt so good it was hard to concentrate.
“Ok, so this is the map of New Orleans, I took you here.” He pointed to a part of the map that had the woods he’d taken me to, and said, “they thought I was already dead when I overheard them talking, Joel wants them to go here.”
He pointed to another part of the map which was on the other side, like miles and miles away from the woods and said, “there’s another similar bunker there that we’ve used before. That’s where he wants to keep his victims. He got a taste for blood and now can’t seem to stop killing, but I overheard him saying to Sarah about creating their own pack too, I think he plans on taking weak wolves, submissive wolves and breaking them down before allowing them to become part of their new pack, him as alpha and Sarah as well, a queen I guess.”
“She’s a wereleopard right? How will that work?”
He shrugged, “I don’t know, I don’t think they care, I’ve heard of wereanimals dating different kinds or even dating humans. I’m pretty sure they want to create their own pack in the literal sense, not a werewolf pack, but a pack with all different types of wereanimals.”
I nodded listening to him and taking in everything he said. I looked at him when he went silent. He was staring at me and I asked, “what?”
“Do you usually hold the hands of other males?”
I looked down and saw my hand resting on his, on his lap. I quickly moved away and quietly said, “sorry, I didn’t realize I did that.”
He looked at me and sitting back in his chair, said, “I did have a child.”
“What?”
“When you asked the other day if I had children, I had a daughter.”
“Had?” I asked softly.
He looked down and said, “she was ten, she was mine and my true mate’s.”
“How did you find your true mate?” I asked.
He laughed and said, “I was out drinking, and this beautiful woman was on stage singing and dancing to karaoke with her friends, she was a terrible singer couldn’t hold a damn tune, but I loved it, I would have listened to her singing all day every day.”
“What did she look like?” I smiled.
“Stunning, the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in my life, well, before she tripped and fell off the stage.”
He laughed softly recalling it and carried on, “I caught her and the minute our eyes met I fell in love with her. She had thick wavy jet black hair that stopped at her perfect a.ss, it was striking against the ice blue of her eyes, they were like mine with the flecks of gold running through, and she was so petite, five, ten but so delicate looking and slim like the wolf, her body was incredible and her skills in bed f***k me, she was so good, I used to call her snow as a joke because her skin was white as snow and flawless, and then our little Bella came along, and she was as beautiful as her mother, jet black hair, but she had my green eyes.”
I pushed my own insecurities down when he mentioned her tiny, slim perfect body. I could tell as he spoke he truly loved her, them, and I smiled.
He stopped smiling after a while and a dark look came over his face.
Quietly, I asked, “what happened?”
Jax walked in through the front door and joined us, and Nick clammed up and wouldn’t talk after that.
We went over everything with Jax, showing him where we were pretty sure Joel and Sarah were going, and he said, “ok, let’s go.”
When we didn’t move, he looked back at us. “Come the f***k on then.”
“Now?” I said.
“Yeah, Rom can pick the kids up and the sooner we can get this prick out of your life the better.”
Nick shrugged and stood up. “Sounds good to me.”
We went to Jax’s car and I climbed in the back. Nick went to get in the back too until Jax snapped, “you can f.ucking sit next to me where I can keep an eye you.”
“You lot are so paranoid,” Nick smirked but climbed in to the passenger seat.
It was a long drive and three hours in to it, Jax parked up at a gas station so we could use the restroom.
Jax went into the shop with Nick, not wanting him left alone.
I didn’t want to wear my glasses In front of Nick, but I needed them, I was starting to get a headache from not wearing them and straining my eyes.
We had learned that Jessica had been right, back when she hated my guts, being an omega meant we also had weaker wolf blood compared to the typical werewolf. I wouldn’t have eyesight problems if I had stronger wolf blood.
I splashed water on my face trying to control the heat growing between my legs, my body getting hot too. It was similar to the first change, where you would heat up and sweat.
I squeezed my thighs but that made it worse, my p*****. ached, and I growled from the frustration.
I’d managed to control it in front of them and being In the back with all our windows rolled down meant they hadn’t noticed the change in my scent. This sucked.
I pulled my glasses from my bag and put them on, screw it, Nick didn’t like me anyway and he sure as hell didn’t find me attractive.
Speak of the devil and he shall appear! Nick walked in to the restroom and I yelped, startled. “What are you doing!”
“You were taking too long, and Jax was boring me with his indecisiveness about what snacks he wants.”
“Go wait outside,” I mumbled.
“You aren’t done yet?” He smirked.
“I need a few minutes.”
I turned back to the sink and felt him press up behind me. “You’re in heat again, I can smell it.”
“Please don’t torment me about it, I can’t help it, Nick, I’m not trying to be some creepy perv over you.”
His smile turned a little more soft, and he said, “I know it’s not your fault, do you need me to get your mate?”
I nodded, and he went to get Jax for me.
Jax returned with Nick and I said, “what’s Nick doing here?”
“I’m not leaving him to try and escape.”
“I don’t want him watching!”
“Maybe he should, so he can see what he’s missing out on.”
“Jax!” He only smirked at me and I rolled my eyes.
Coming over, his hands went to my waist, and he whispered against my neck, “is your p*****. aching darling?”
I nodded, the heat took over with a male wolf so close to me. He lifted me up and sat me on the edge of the sink. When I looked at Nick watching Coolly, Jax saw my discomfort.
“Don’t worry, darling,” he pulled his jeans down past his a.ss and pushed himself inside of me. He moaned to how good it felt, and slowly moved inside of me.
Nick asked, “shouldn’t you be pounding her?”
Looking at him through the mirror, Jax breathed, “she’s really f.ucking tight, we usually have to start off gentle.”
“Guys, stop talking about me like I’m some kind of science experiment.”
They both laughed, but I noticed Nicks eyes were darker after Jax said that.
He watched with folded arms as Jax f.ucked me against the sink, pounding me now I was stretched enough, and I moaned and cried out.
It wasn’t long before he brought me coming hard and as the heat passed I came back to myself and blushed so hard, hiding my head against Jax’s chest.
My mother would have tried exorcising me if she’d known what I’d just done. s**x with my mates’ was one thing, but having s**x in front of another wolf was something else entirely.
Jax helped me to my feet, and I pushed my glasses back up my nose and fiddled with my curls awkwardly.
We climbed back in to the car and Jax filled the gas up. “S.hit, I should have done this first. Two secs,” he said and went inside to pay.
Nick turned in his seat to look back at me and asked, “you feel better now?”
I nodded, and he asked curiously, “do they make it go away completely?”
“No, it makes it go away for a short time and enough that I’m myself again, I think it’s because they’re my mates, any other male the bond doesn’t want me being touched by.”
He nodded and said, “so if I f***k you then the bond will be complete and the whole heat thing will go away entirely?”
I nodded, and he sat back in his seat thinking about it.
On the drive, I asked Nick, “how is Joel able to smoke and stand it?”
He rose an eyebrow and gave a small laugh, “you kind of get used to it after a while.”
“How do you know?”
“I used to smoke, couldn’t stand the smell though, so would always shower and scrub myself half an hour after and brush and still, it was faintly there, so I thought f***k that and quit.”
I wanted to ask him about his family again, but I knew he wouldn’t open up with Jax here, I was surprised he’d opened up to me.
It was nighttime, and we were still driving, but it was cold now especially with the green flowy dress I was wearing.
“Jax, can’t you let Nick drive and come cuddle me, I’m tired and cold.”
Nick looked at me and said, “are you a big kid or something?”
“F.ucking leave her alone,” Jax snapped.
To me, he said, “sorry darling, I don’t trust this fucker to drive,” looking to Nick he snapped, “you go f.ucking hug her and no funny business.”
“I’m not cuddling up to your f.ucking mate.”
“It’s your fault we are even having to do this, so go keep her warm.”
Nick snarled and climbed in to the back seat with me and pulled me into his lap. “This is so childish.”
“I’m sorry,” I whispered, feeling tears fill my eyes. He was right, I knew it was, werewolves weren’t known for being affectionate, apparently that was just us omegas and on top of that I’d been starved of affection and love as a child, so I still enjoyed and craved it all as an adult.
I was mature and sensible outside, but when I was home and with my mates’ alone, I could let go of the pretence and just be me, childish and vulnerable and my omega self.
“You best not f.ucking make her cry,” Jax warned.
Nick looked down at me and to Jax said, “put some f.ucking music on or something, I’m bored.”
Jax did surprisingly, yep, even after all these years, my mates never failed to surprise me.
Nick looked back to me and stroked a tear from my cheek. “Don’t cry,” he said coldly, it was like he was trying to be soft and gentle with me, but he didn’t know how.
I hid my face in his chest and he stroked my hair softly. I don’t think he was aware he was doing it to be honest, but I didn’t say anything and just snuggled against him and fell asleep feeling warm and safe, only my mates’ made me feel like that, and it seemed Nick did too. Damn, I really was turning out to be the w.hore of Babylon.
