I HAVE A MATE

9

Chapter 9

In the last three days, there had been two attacks on the pack but luckily these attacks had not gotten to the main community. 

They were still fending off the rogue attacks but still nothing. 

Star had been training fervently so she could help with the fight as she was now officially the Luna despite the fact that they hadn't fully mated yet but Philip could wait.

She was taking a walk around the pack supervising a project on building of secret vaults underground each house. She had a very warm feeling setting in the pit of her stomach ever since she woke up this morning but it wasn't something alarming then, now she seemed to notice that the stomach grew hotter each hour, so she had consumed a relatively high amount of ice water despite that it was almost winter.

"Luna", a blond blue eyed girl skipped over grinning from ear to ear.

"Serena, what are you doing?” She was 8years old and a very beautiful girl. She was also Dylan's younger sister and the boy was very protective of her, it was a miracle they were not together now.

"You promised we were going to make cupcakes," her baby blues were pleading and Star couldn't say no to her.

"Ok, come let's go", she said taking the girl's hand and walking towards the pack house ignoring to pain shooting from the point where her skin came in contact with the little girl's hand.

"Dylan! You can go now, I'm really coming to make the cupcakes!" Oh so Dylan was here with her after all. 

"Hello Dylan" 

"Luna" he bowed slightly while blushing a deep red

This little boy could flirt and she didn't even notice because she was inexperienced.

"I will ask mom to pick you up, remember to stay in the pack house." He instructed his kid sister.

"Can you please help me watch her?" He asked Star, eyes pleading and lips smiling, she nodded and waved him as he strutted away. Such little boy had a nice walking step.

On getting to the Pack house, they went to kitchen and laid out their options for flavor, they setting for pineapple cake and chocolate frosting.

They mixed the batter and were having fun, Star also had to restrain Serena from licking all the frosting from the cake.

Then she put the frosting in the fridge while the cake was baking.

Serena was excited about the turn up and Star chuckled at her enthusiasm. It was just a dozen mini cakes

The cupcakes were ready, so she packed some for the girl to take home to show her mom, they ate some and she kept some for her mate.

The term felt well, someone to love, protect and cherish her. Her very own person.

Something stirred in her core and hotness spread through her body but the fact that she was used to pain for the most part of her life made her ignore it.

Dylan came in and took the remaining cupcake left and finished it, licking off the frost from his fingers.

Her gaze followed every movement and she gulped, looking away with a flushed face, she felt ashamed of her actions.

She heard a painful whimper from Lisa when Dylan touched her hands and it felt like she had been scalded, she quickly pulled away and saw Serena asleep on the couch.

"What's wrong Luna?” She had never reacted that way before. The little boy was visibly worried and you could tell he was scared.

Just then a woman in her early forties walked in

"Oh, here they are. I thank the goddess that you decided to write a note, Dylan" she sighed.

Star gave her a faint smile. The woman looked worried.

"Thank you for watching them Luna" she said reaching for Star's hand to clasp in her own.

The contact with her skin was prickling hot and extremely painful, she screamed in pain before she realized it and her eyes glazed with tears. Why was it so hot today? 

"I'm sorry, Stella. It was my pleasure to look after them." Star managed.

Stella then mind linked her husband and mate to come help her with the kids. He was a warrior, one of the few warriors who had mates.

Philip came home to find Star screaming and there was lots of sweat on her body. She was only in her camisole and sweatpants. She usually didn't wear open clothes due to the many scars on her body, he looked at the floor and saw her hoodie torn and wet.

She wasn't looking fine, he immediately went to her and picked her up, places where his hands touched seemed to cool her skin.

He placed her on the bed and called for the pack doctor while Sam came over too intending to give situation report.

Philip felt frustrated, he put her in an ice cold bath water and after 10minutes, it was sizzling hot. He hadn't felt more confused.

The female pack doctor came in and proceeded to examine Star.

Immediately she was touched, pain spread along with more heat, she cried out

"Please, make it stop," tears falling with every contact to any living being.

The doctor immediately understood the situation. Philip gave a stern look

"What's wrong with her?" He was going to go crazy from the wait 

"Her problem is very simple and the only solution is you Alpha" she stated.

"Simple, you call this simple?" He yelled pointing to the screaming mess in the recently changed water.

Her body was getting hotter and her strength was going too, she was parched and hot and bothered too.

"Alpha, if I didn't know more, I would have thought it complicated. Didn't you recently mark her?" She smiled

"Just spill it already" he was on the edge of a cliff.

"Our Luna is in heat"

Heat?

Heat?

Heat?

The words seemed to echo around her as the two figures talked to each other. Only once in a while were their words coherent.

She whimpered and bit her bottom lip in pain. 

Philip watched her as the knowledge of information sank in.

"Please, make it stop", she cried but her words was almost incoherent, Philip face palmed himself and sat beside her bath tub.

"I'm sorry Baby, I didn't know that this was going to happen", he apologized, 

"Usually this heat comes 10-15 days after marking but it usually doesn't extend to that time with us." Doctor Lucy explained

"But why did it take so little for it to come with her?" He had asked, he looked and sounded helpless,

"You are an Alpha, she's mixed between an Alpha and Omega. Your wolf recognizes your mate and wants to fully claim her, the omega part of her is very submissive while the other is very dominating. She is torn between two sides. Right now, her Alpha female is hastening the mating process hence the early heat." Lucy said and bowed before she left.

So his Baby girl was suffering right now and he could only help her through that process, but he wasn't sure if she was ready.

"Make it stop please" more heat waves flared in her body, it was an inferno in there, every part of her body touching clothing burned, the clothing was just her bra and a booty shot. She whimpered in pain from each wiggle against the discomfort.

Philip picked her from the bath tub, apologizing in case of any further pain he might be causing. He lightly placed on the bed and helped her take off the bra, swallowing hard and trying not to look at her white pale skin.

Then he took the lightest sheet he could find and wrapped around her. 

"Philip, take the pain away please. It hurts and burns" she looked at him with tears filled eyes and that was all it took for him to grab her and kiss her.

What a cool energy, she wanted more so she leaned into the kiss and savored the relief she found and while she was enjoying this, Philip was sporting a hard on.

He pulled away from the kiss, he had been having too many hard on lately, was he also in heat?

"Philip, explain to me about what's happening, why's everything uncomfortable?" Star said as she was ok for a moment.

"The doctor checked on you and found out that you're in your heat".

"What is my heat?" She asked looking all confused. 

"I marked you four days ago, didn't I?" She nodded as warmth seeped into her cheeks leaving her redder than she already was.

"After marking, your body goes into heat to hasten the mating process. In this period of heat, anything or being that touches you or comes in contact with your skin causes immense pain and a fiery sensation, only your mate or the one that marks you can relieve you." He explained breathless.

He watched for any reaction from her but only got wonder in her expression, so he completed his explanation.

"The end point of everything is that we need to mate to stop the pain", 

'And your discomfort' his wolf chipped in. 

She didn't protest or do anything rather she asked her question which surprised him.

She seemed quizzical, "um... Do men, no!  Do you uh... You know, do you... Also experience it?" She stuttered

He chuckled softly and lifted her to seat on his lap, "ok, move slightly" and she wiggled a bit, she felt it and her eyes widened in recognition.

When they had started to share kisses and cuddles, she always felt it poking her but she didn't know what it was and this had been going on for months.

"So you have been in heat longer than I have?” She asked already feeling sorry for him and guilty too

When Philip realized what she was thinking, he stopped her

"No... No that's not how it is. It's just that this one has happened more often since I marked you and it almost never goes away" he explained.

"Oh..." She exclaimed and he found the action cute.

After his explanation, she seemed to finally understand and she wiggled in excitement as she exclaimed

"Oh... I see", he swallowed.

Was the movement really necessary? "Star, you can stop moving now." He said.

She blushed and dropped her head to avoid his gaze. She acted like a baby these days.

He wasn't complaining though because he found her actions cute.

The heat that was once spread throughout her body was now settled in her stomach and her cheeks too not forgetting the fact that she was soaked with a certain liquid in between her lady parts.

"Philip, shouldn't we continue with it?" She asked and he almost choked on the water he was drinking.

"Y…Yes we should only when you are ready", he replied.

Very shyly, she connected her lips with his, taking him by surprise once again. He responded to the kiss after a minute.

She didn't know what next to do and she needed more... More action, more movement or even anything so she did the only thing she could think of.

She shifted, a gasp escaping her lips at the friction the action caused and she could hear him groan.

Was he in pain?

She detached from him and gazed at him with concern.

"Are you okay? Did I do something wrong?"

"No, I'm fine. I was actually enjoying that" he pouted and he looked adorable.

Then they continued, his hands searching, exploring and working her body while she shivered and moaned, gasping at interval whenever tongue and teeth were involved.

She needed to touch, so she traced his abs with her hands, and his biceps, sparks igniting with touch sending more tingles to her already throbbing core.

When did he become shirtless?

He was hanging onto a thread of his self-control at the moment and her touching was not helping, he wanted this first time to be memorable for her.

He laid her on the bed and hovered over her, making sure that this was really what she wanted.

She pulled him back to her and changed the angle of the kiss wanting to be closer to him as if that was possible. 

That was all the confirmation he needed from her, he resumed his work on her body, finding his mark on her neck to kiss it

Pleasure erupted from that spot as she arched her back in anticipation for something, she just didn't know what, so she let him possess her.

Soon all their clothing had been dispelled leaving them unclad as his hands found the spot between her folds as he worked on her mound, caressing it and preparing her for him.

He was large in that aspect so wanted to take his time not to hurt her and when he was finally in, he lost himself in her sweetness

At first she felt pain from the penetration and cried out

"Ah!” a single tear slipped down and he kissed it away. He wasn't moving.

"Has it ended?” She asked him hoping it had not because some of the pack women who were around her sometimes had told her of a certain euphoric feeling that came with this conquest.

"No Darling, we're just starting" and with that said, he began to move

The pain soon turned to pleasure as she let out moans and scratched his back when he went faster

He alternated the movement, going painstakingly slow sometimes and plummeting fast most times.

Her core tightened in anticipation for released and she flicked her tongue on the mark she had given him

Lisa had taken over and so had his wolf

They were each fighting for dominance. Sometimes she would be at the top riding and other times he was plunging her deep into oblivion

She was so close and the words he was saying we're such turn on. He was going faster than normal and Lisa liked it every way.

"I love you" she moaned, she didn't know when that left her mouth but she knew it was true.

"I love you too Baby" he groaned and he meant it every word. He would cherish this girl in his arms, he thought, with a final thrust, they reached Euphoria both breathing on their marks on each other as they savored the feelings of their encounter.

She woke up to a hand gently stroking her hair, her cheeks down to her neck leaving a tingly trail of fire in its wake and a herd of butterflies in her stomach. She didn't want it this to end so she decided to just lay there and savor the feeling while pretending to sleep.

"I know you are awake," a deep morning voice asked then he pecked her forehead.

She hummed and her eyes fluttered open, "how'd you know?"

When she was in the Soul lifting pack and she had been beaten to stupor, she feigned sleep or losing of consciousness to avert more work for some hours while she recuperated so definitely she was good at this pretending but how could he tell that she was awake?

"We have a bond silly, I can tell you are awake by the burst of energy and definitely aroused too," he drawled causing her cheeks to stain red.

"Someone sounds lazy this morning" she chuckled 

"I couldn't help it, you were just too sweet" he said

"Or maybe, you are just insatiable" she added.

"Want to confirm that?" He pulled her to himself

"No, you have work to do" she was shy, he loved seeing her shy.

She was adorable.

"What kind of work do you want me to do?"

"Pack related"

"I want to work on you instead"

She blushed crimson

"Come on, let's shower". He lifted her off the bed, bridal style.

While tugging at him to let her go, he carried her to the bathroom and their morning was history.
