Red's POV Fuck, that wolf can make me laugh. He had me in stitches the whole night. I don't know when I last laughed like that. As the day came, I prepared another meal before we went to rest. It did not even take a second for him to sit near me waiting for it to be finished. I chuckled to myself as the thought of him looking like a trained dog popped into my mind. Sitting and waiting patiently. I handed him a bowl with the meat that was stewed and he decided to dip his whole hand into it to get at the meat. I heard him inhale sharply and whimper a bit before he brought his hand out and shook it. I brought a pot filled with water for him. He had his eyes closed as he shook his hand like a child. For f**k's sake, hold still! I grabbed his hand and plunged it into the water to cool his hand down. "What the hell were you thinking?" I asked him as he looked down at me. "I was hungry." He mumbled out. I rolled my eyes and gave him a fork. "Here." If he waited a bit I would have given it to him when I sat down. "There's an old German saying, loosely translated, it means, the hasty dog gets its mouth burnt." He raised his brow and looked down at me with confusion. "I know, but it sounds better in German." He began to eat and I watched as he just took it straight into his mouth without blowing. Then I saw his face go red as his mouth started getting burnt. I feel like I just warned him that it was going to happen. Didn't I? f**k him if he doesn't want to listen. I picked up my bowl and sat down next to him. "I warned you." I sang out lowly before blowing on my food. I put it in my mouth, still piping hot. But I don't feel pain, not like he does anyway. So I continued to eat without blowing on it and laughing every time he does the same. Wolf, I mean Damien, polished off three bowls full. A wolf's appetite is something to be feared. Honestly. He would lick the bowls clean after every portion. After the third bowl, he helped me clean up and pack everything anyway. I'm not gonna lie, I'm making him do all the heavy lifting on purpose. Those muscles aren't for decoration, he must use them. He must flex those big sexy muscles of his. Once we were finished, I laid down and he came to lay near me in his wolf form. Blocking any view of me from the entrance. I let a yawn and patted his big fluffy head. "Sleep well, Damien." Then I winked before scratching behind his ear, "And you too, Raphael." I closed my eyes and rolled onto my side facing away from him, them. f**k I don't know; this giant dark brown wolf. I only fear what may await me in my dreams. The full moon is tonight. And I've never tried to sleep during the day and stay up all night before. But it's worth a try. If I'm ever going to put an end to that f*****g dream. Wolf's POV I'm back home, in the pack-house. My father is shouting his head off at my younger twin brothers again for Goddess knows what. They suddenly stopped when a knock came from the door. I looked up at my beautiful mate, Crystal, standing there smiling at me. She walked in and kissed me passionately. "You've held on so long, my love." She whispered into my ear. "It's not your fault. Go be happy and live your life." She stood up and was about to walk away when I grabbed her and pulled her close. "Crystal. My love. My heart aches for you every day." She hugged my head as I lay it on her chest. "Damien. Your heart need not ache any longer. You've found someone to pick up your broken pieces and piece them back together again." She said as she played with my hair. "But she's not you." I whimpered out like a child. This was the first time that she had spoken in my dreams. I missed her voice so much. "Is that her fault, Damien? You love her already, but you hold back your love for her. Why?" I looked up at her apple-green eyes, "Because I don't want to go through the pain of losing another mate, Crystal. She's not one of us. What if she doesn't want to be with me?" Crystal just laughed. That sound made my heart flutter. "If she didn't, would she still be here with you in that cave?" She asked. She was right as always. She knew better than me about a lot of things and I loved to show off how smart she was to the entire pack. "Give her time, she's used to being alone. She'll see that this big bad wolf is nothing but a fluffy puppy." She giggled out. "Only for you and her, Crystal." She kissed my lips. I opened my eyes and looked around. I'm back in the cave. It was all a dream. I'm delighted and upset at the same time. I look down at Red as she's shaking and her hands are twitching. She's knitting her brows together and her forehead is wrinkled. 'Another nightmare...' Raph said to me. 'They seem to be getting worse by the night.' I said to him. Raph poked her cheek as a whimper escaped her throat. He did it again and still, no reaction came from her. 'Last time that was enough to wake her up.' Raph said. 'Try something else.' I said to him. Honestly, I'm just worried she's going to be less forgiving than the first time. Raph muzzled his nose under her hand before he poked her side with his nose. Still, no response came from her. 'Alright, my turn.' I said as I shifted back into my human form. I scooped her up into my arms and held her close. "Red, wake up. It's just a dream." She shifted in my arms before her whole upper body jerked forward. Sweat was streaming down her face, she was gasping for air. I sat down and placed her in my lap. My hand softly started to rub circles on her back as she lowered her head, trying to even out her breathing. "It's okay, Red. It was all just a dream." I said as I continued. I take the chance to lean my head against hers. To my surprise, she leaned more into me and shook. I put my arms around her and held her close. Pulling her closer to me before, I turned my head to the side and leaned my cheek on top of her head. "You're okay Red. You're okay." I whispered to her as I stroked her hair. Her shaking calmed down as she lifted her hands and placed them on my chest. After ten minutes, she stopped shaking but she kept pulling on my shirt to get me closer to her. "It's okay Red. No one is going to hurt you." I held onto her. I stood up and let her stand in front of me. She continued to cling to my shirt with her head facing down. I love that she's clinging to me, but I can't help but wonder what she was dreaming about. I took her hand and walked with her outside into the moonlight. Nudging her to sit down so I could start the fire. She looked like she was in a daze. After I got the fire started, I picked her up and sat down before placing her in my lap as the warmth of the fire started to hit us. I held onto her head as she held onto my shoulders. "I won't let anyone hurt you, Red. I will protect you. I promise." I held onto her neck. I feel her eyes close on my shoulder as her hands go round my neck. I looked down at her as she lifted her head and looked at me. Her eyes shimmered in the full moon's light like melted silver. When did her eyes change from that gorgeous honey colour? I couldn't help but stare down at her as she stared up at me. 'Mate?' Raph asked lowly in my head. She lifted herself closer to my face. Her hands held my face so delicately it was like having silk being pressed up to my cheeks. She moved her legs to either side of mine and saddled me. Standing on her knees so that she was at eye level with me. "Red?" What's wrong with her? Is this why she didn't want to be here when the full moon hit? She leaned in closer to my face. Her eyes closed halfway as she pressed her lips against mine. I couldn't help but start to devour her lips the instant our lips had touched. She started kissing me more passionately before lowering herself onto my lap. My hands started to grab hold of her back, her shoulders, her hips. Every inch I've been dying to get hold of since I found out she was my mate. When we both pulled away from the kiss to get some air, I couldn't help but look at her as she smiled sweetly up at me. She combed her fingers through my hair before she re-adjusted herself on my lap. She sat back in the position she was before and stared at the fire. Her head slowly made its way to my shoulder as she began to nestle into me. To say that the kiss was good is an understatement. That kiss was magical. I feel re-energized by it. I looked down at her as her head began to slip off my shoulder. I held up her back and saw her eyes were closed. "Red?" I called out softly. She scuffled in my arms before her eyes slowly opened. Rubbing her eyes, she sat up and yawned. "What's going on? How did I get outside?" She asked, sounding sweet as a child that had just woken up at home after falling asleep at a friend's party. 'She doesn't remember our kiss?' Raph asked me, concern lacing his voice. 'I don't think she even knows she walked out here, let alone that she started the kiss.' I replied to him, just as confused by the night's events as he was. "Sorry Red. You were having another nightmare again. I thought the warmth from the fire might help." I said to her. If this is what I have to expect every full moon, I'm going to enjoy it. She nodded her head before letting out another yawn. "Thanks." She said soundly sleepy. She stood up and walked back into the cave. 'Where's mate going?' Raph whined in my head. He wanted her to stay on our lap, for her to stay close to us. Well, I did too. She came out of the cave carrying the deer's leg. She looked down at the fire before she put it on to cook. Then she went back to the cave. 'Food!' Raph howled in my head. Thank the Moon Goddess, she's making food. I thought as she brought out the other stake of ribs. She placed them down on the fire before she came to sit next to me. Her eyes were barely open. She kept rubbing them and yawning. "Are you still tired, Red?" I asked her. She slowly picked up her head like she was trying to catch what I had just said. "All this sitting idle has me restless during the nights... Days..?" She said before she scratched her head in confusion as she thought. "Normally, I'm ducking and diving all day." Ducking and diving from the hunters? "How long have they been chasing after you?" She stood up and walked over to the meat and turned it. "Two... Two and a half... Three..." She shrugged her shoulders as she turned back to me. "Months?" I asked. Those guys have really... been keeping her from settling down. "Years." She said in a yawn. "Years?" I asked as if I had misheard her. She simply nodded her head and stared at the fire through tired eyes. Two to three years? They've been after her for two to three years and have not succeeded? Gosh, call those guys idiotically determined. Now I understand what Crystal meant, that she's used to being alone. Red was never able to stay in one place long enough. "Red, what's so special about the full moon?" She rubbed her eyes and tried her hardest to keep them open. "For the past four years, I've been getting nightmares close to and on the nights of the full moon." She looked up at the moon. "Well, that explains why I'm tired." She said. "I also feel physically and mentally weaker in the days leading up to the full moon." She said as she stood up and grabbed the leg off the fire. That explains the nightmares but not the change in eye colour or why she doesn't remember kissing me. "Why?" I couldn't help but ask as I made my way up to her and took the leg off her so she didn't have to strain herself. "I don't know. It just suddenly started happening." She yawned again before getting the ribs off. "Every doctor looked at me as if I was psychotic." I couldn't help but chuckle at her choice of words. I thought that it might have got a reaction out of her but she acts like she didn't even hear it. She's not kidding when she said she was mentally weaker. She's not even acting the person I've grown accustomed to. Which means that everything she's said is true. She's not dodging my questions. If she's not lying because she's not able to, then this is my chance to find out my mate's name. "Red?" I said as she cut the ribs in half, then took a piece from the leg. "Hmm." She said while she was busy separating the ribs more. "What's your birth name?" She finished the ribs and placed them in between us. "Lillibeth von Struker." She said before she started eating. Lillibeth von Struker? A German-surname if I ever heard one. Lillibeth. Such a gentle-sounding name. My eyes widened when I remembered the lily engraved on the dagger's handle. The lily wasn't there for decoration, it was so she knows it's hers. But why does she refuse to tell people her name? Or at the very least me? "Lillibeth?" I said as she chewed the meat slowly. 'Stop pestering mate.' Raph scolded me. 'Look how tired she is.' He growled out. 'Oh shh, you. We don't know when will be the next time we will get this opportunity.' I grumbled back to him. "Why didn't you tell me your name the first time I asked?" I took a bite of the leg, that I had forgotten was in my hands. "Because it doesn't suit me." She said before taking another bite. "What's up with all the questions tonight, Damien?" She turned to face me. I moved closer to her before I answered her. "Sorry. I've just been thinking of a few things." She tilted her head to the side before looking at me through those adorable, sleepy, honey-glazed eyes of hers. "Like?" She said, extending the word a little longer. I let out a low chuckle before answering her. "Like, how I think your name does suit you." She raised a tired brow. "How so?" She said as she ate the piece of the leg. "It's beautiful." I said before I lifted her chin and flashed her one of my heart-stopping smiles. "Just like you." She froze as soon as she saw the smile, her eyes opened fully as she stared at me. Her cheeks started to become pink before she pulled her head away and held the piece of meat in front of her mouth. "I don't know how Crystal handled you with that silver tongue of yours." She said. Normally, my heart would feel torn apart if anyone would even mention the word mate around me, never mind her name. But when Lillibeth says her name, it just brings back happy memories. There's only a twinge in my heart for a second before it's gone. Crystal was right. Red has mended my broken heart. "Lillibeth?" I reached out and held her hand. She looked down at my hand. "Sorry, are you hurting now that I said her name?" She asked. She's concerned about me? "No. Actually, for the first time in a long time, I'm not." she looked up at me as I reached down and kissed her forehead. "And it's all thanks to you." She looked up at me, then at the moon, then back at me. She kept doing this for like a full minute. "Something wrong?" I asked as she looked like she was making herself dizzy. "Am I still dreaming?" She asked and finally stopped looking at the moon. "Why would you think you are?" She lifted herself closer to me like she was inspecting me. "You're not acting like you...." She trailed off. I chuckled as I realized it was my turn to get some entertainment. "Well, how will you know you are dreaming?" I asked her. She pulled back and looked at the floor. "I don't know..." She said. "I could pinch you. They say a good pinch does the job." I got my fingers ready to grab onto her. "No... that won't work." She said as she turned to the fire. "The reason why it would work is that it's the shock from the pain." She continued. "So why won't it work?" I nudge closer to her, so close that our thighs were nearly touching. "The pinch won't hurt." She said. She turned back to me. "How about you scare me?" She leaned forward towards me. "But if you know I'm gonna scare you, you won't be that shocked." She looked up and put her hand on her chin like she was thinking. I can see why she enjoys this so much. 'Have mate kiss us.' Raph said. 'Good idea, buddy.' I said back, inwardly smiling devilishly. "Lillibeth, why don't you kiss me?" I asked. She snapped out of her thought. "Kiss you?" I chuckled a bit. "Yeah, wouldn't that shock you awake?" She scanned me all over before she seemed to give in to the idea. She, once again, saddled me. It's not like I gave her much choice. I told her that if she didn't, it would not work. Sitting on my lap, she held my face in those tender hands of hers as she slowly lifted herself to meet me halfway. She closed her eyes as our lips touched. I could feel her hands moving up to my hair as we started to kiss more passionately. She gripped onto my hair, digging her fingers into my scalp, pulling me more into the kiss. My hands made their way to her waist before digging into her thighs. I licked at her bottom lip, begging for entrance into her mouth. She seemed to instinctively open her mouth and I wasted no time exploring and tasting her. Our tongues fought for dominance as they twirled around each other. We started separating slightly to get some air but continued to kiss. "Well?" I grunted out as I grabbed her thigh in one hand, lifting her up slightly, and dug my nails into her back with the other. "Are you still dreaming?" She kissed me some more and pushed herself against my chest. "I'm not sure yet." She said before she kissed me again. Uh oh... I can feel my d**k starting to get hard. And now that she is constantly coming up and down my lap, it is only making me hornier for her. She sat down once more and my d**k twitched up and right against her v****a. She broke away from the kiss as she moaned. She looked me in the eyes. I stared down at her frozen in fear. Could she have caught on that I had tricked her? But she grabbed hold of my face and continued the kiss. She would moan through our kiss and grab onto my hair, my neck, and shoulders. 'Is she messing with me for revenge?' I asked Raph. 'Who cares?' Raph replied as he pushed me to do more to her. 'If she's gonna leave us high and dry, we should stop now.' I said as I tried to stay in control. 'Can't you smell that?' Raph growled at me. I took a sniff and my d**k twitched hard in my pants as I could only smell her. 'Is it hunters?' I asked. 'Dumbass. It's her arousal.' He said before I took another long sniff. Again my d**k twitched but she had gone to sit down on my lap. So when it twitched it hit her right there. A loud moan escaped her lips as she looked up at me. "Damien..." She huffed out. "Yeah?" I said as I held onto her and went in for another kiss. "I don't think I'm dreaming." Shit! She figured me out. "Do you want to stop?" I asked her. She lifted herself and looked down at me. "You, Damien Blackheart, have played a very naughty trick." I couldn't help but laugh. "I'm sorry. How are you going to punish me?" I teased her. She smiled that sadistic smile of hers and I knew that she was back to normal now. Shit. She lowered herself down and started bouncing on my lap. "Beg." She said as she started to kiss me from my neck to my ear. "Beg? Beg for what?" I could practically feel her smile on my skin. "That's up to you. But you must beg." she started nibbling on my lower neck. "Please," I groaned as I tried to keep Raph from taking over. "Please what?" She said as she nibbled harder, making me feel her teeth properly. "Please be my mate." I breathed out in a groan. She stopped immediately when she heard my words and stared at me with confusion. "What?" She asked as she lifted her head to me. "Please be my mate." I cupped her beautiful face in one hand. "You had a mate." She replied to me. Her eyes were wide open as she couldn't hide her confusion. "I don't understand it either. But you're my mate. May I be yours?" She said I could beg for anything. And the only thing I want is her to be my mate. She turned pink again. I lowered my head as I awaited her answer. By the looks of it, she doesn't want to be our mate. Raph whimpered loudly in my head. "You knew I was your mate when you allowed me to hide from the hunters?" She asked me. "Yes. That day the hunters came to the town. It was the same day I looked into your eyes for the first time." I looked up at her. "Raphael howled in delight that we were blessed with another mate." I snaked my arms around her. "Please. I beg of you. Please be my mate." I'm sure I sound weak now, but if I were to lose another mate I know that the world would have nothing more to offer me. She cupped my head in her hands. "Repeat after me." She stared down at me. What is she going to have me say? Is she going to make me reject her? That would be worse than death. "I, Damien Blackheart." She began and then I started repeating after her. My heart pounding loudly in my chest. "Hereby accept..." My nerves are on the end as I utter every word she said. "Lillibeth von Struker as my mate." My eyes widened as I finished repeating after her, then grabbed hold of her. I slammed my lips against hers. I heard a clicking sound and opened my eyes and pulled away, thinking that she had brought out her daggers. Like that she had tricked me or something. Instead, I saw the holsters in her hand as she tossed them closer to the cave. "Now..." She took my hand and slid them under her dress and up her thigh. "Where were we?" She said in such a sexy voice it made me lose my mind. She leaned down to me and kissed me passionately. I got lost in the joy I was feeling that Raph had taken control. He pulled her dress off her, leaving her in her underwear in front of us. She smiled devilishly before pulling my shirt up and throwing it next to her dress. She cradled my head in the crook of her shoulder as she kissed me from my shoulder to my ear and back down again. My groaning turned to lust-filled growling. Raph was grabbing her head, forcing her to deepen the kisses. With her free hand, she unbuttoned my pants. "Raphael, take them off." She whispered in my ear. Raph replied with a happy growl as he pulled them down as well as the boxers. Leaving Red staring up at my d**k. She tried to hide it but I saw her surprise when she first saw it. She stared at it with such fascination as it twitched in front of her face. She moved forward and licked up the shaft. Causing it to twitch again. She sat up on her legs and put the tip in her mouth. She played with my tip with the tip of her tongue. Twirling it around and around the tip. Then she pushed herself forward, taking more of my d**k into her mouth. She started pulling back a bit before she pushed the rest into her mouth. The tip hit the back of her throat. It feels so good. It's been so long since I've had this kind of physical interaction. I might just c*m from this. I think I'm on the verge already. 'No!' Raph growled at me. He grabbed Red's head and pulled it out her mouth, making her gasp from shock. He picked her up and pulled her underwear off before flinging them to one side. Her eyes widened as Raph set her down on the tip and started bouncing her on the tip. "Wait, Raphael." She said as he pushed her down onto my d**k. Her eyes widened as she dug her nails into my shoulders. Raphael started moving her up and down as he started to nibble on the soft muscle on her shoulder. Raph started to increase the speed, having her moan out in pleasure. "Dam..." She breathed out. "Damien." She called out my name. I take control back as her nails start to dig deeper. Her p***y started tightening around my d**k. I nudged her head with mine, she looked up at me as I planted a kiss on her and plunged myself deeper into her. I could feel that I was going to explode. Pulling away from the kiss, I brought out my fangs and bit down onto her shoulder before I pushed my d**k deep into her as I cummed inside her. She lifted her head and moaned as her whole body heated up and started to twitch. I licked the blood around the bite mark, allowing it to heal. "I'm sorry if that hurt," I said as I kissed her shoulder. I started to pull my d**k out of her but, it just felt as if she was squeezing me tighter. I feel like I could c*m all over again. As soon as I got it out, she moaned in my ear. I looked down and I saw a couple of spots of blood on the ground. I move Red slightly and see blood on my d**k as well. My eyes widened as I held her close. Was she a virgin? Or did I hurt her? "Lillibeth? I'm sorry. I didn't know....... Did I...?" I couldn't even form a sentence. Why didn't she say anything? "Damien." She held onto my shoulders and kissed my cheek. "You didn't hurt me, Damien. So calm down." She lifted her head and looked into my eyes. "But..." I placed her down. "Were you a....?" She held onto me. "Yes." She said softly. I lifted her head to me. She kissed me sweetly. "Are we not mates?" She glared up at me. "We are.," I said as I traced my mark on her. "Then? Would you prefer someone else to have taken it?" She said as she grabbed hold of my hair. I growled loudly at the thought of someone else touching her. She smiled at me. "You're mine," I growled down at her. She tugged on my hair. "Then prove it." "I don't want to hurt you anymore, you need to rest." I ran my hand down her face. She chuckled and pulled me closer. "Damien..." She pulled me down, "I didn't feel pain. All I felt was pleasure." She started biting on my ear. "The best amount of pleasure I've ever felt." I growled loudly before we started again. By dawn, we were out of breath and exhausted. "f**k, Lillibeth. That was amazing." I let out a lust-filled growl as I held onto her. She laughed in my ear, "This is the first time I've heard you swear, Damien." Her body draped over mine. "Well gosh and damn, just come near how amazing it was." She chuckled in my ear. "How about some food? I'm sure you built up quite an appetite." She kissed me as she stood.
