Lost Wolf

Chapter 9

Ashton POV

My nose awoke me.

"What is that delicious smell?" I mumbled while opening my eyes.

I heard a chuckle and sat up to see Damon sitting at the foot of the bed with a tray in front of him.

There was a huge spread of eggs, bacon, hash browns, french toast, fresh fruit and yogurt along with two glasses of orange juice.

My stomach suddenly growled loudly.

Without saying a word, Damon grabbed a fork full of hash browns and eggs and brought it to my mouth.

At first I just stared at him. Am I supposed to just let this stranger feed me? But something inside me wanted to let him. Something was wanting him closer to me.

I opened my mouth and let him feed me.

I let out a small moan. It was delicious or maybe I was just that hungry.

Damon held up another bite, his eyes glistening with satisfaction.

He then took a couple bites himself.

I took the opportunity to really look at him.

God, he was extremely handsome. His brown hair tousled, maybe from little to no sleep, but it worked for him. Those blue eyes, I could melt into. My eyes trailed along his body stopping at his chest, arms and legs. The way his Tshirt and jeans fit seemed to hug every muscle. I felt myself beginning to blush as I wondered what he would look like without a shirt.

"Enjoying yourself" Damon said with a smirk.

Startled, I quickly focused my eyes back on breakfast.

"May I have some more?" I asked quietly

"Of course" Damon said without hesitation. He moved the whole tray in front of me so I could eat what I wanted.

"Would you like some coffee?" He asked.

"Yes, please" I responded eagerly

When he passed me the steaming cup I took a sip and moaned with pleasure.

"Thank you"

I looked up at him and felt my face begin to warm again. Why was he looking at me like that?

Damon POV

The moans Ashton let escape while enjoying breakfast made my c**k twitch in my jeans.

I wanted to be the one responsible for those moans.

"What time is it?" asked Ashton, pulling me from my thoughts.

I glanced at my watch. "Almost 11am"

"What?" Ashton almost yelled and started to fumble wanting to get out of bed. "I never sleep this late, everyone is going to be worried about me"

She must have realized she was still undressed from the waist up because she stopped and pulled the blanket back up.

Mary, please bring some clothes up to my room for Ashton. I mind linked my head housekeeper.

"Your wolf trying to break through exhausted you. It normal to feel tired at first. After your first shift, when you can control it, it won't exhaust you anymore. In fact, it is usually the opposite. Your wolf will be able to heal you and energize you." I told Ashton.

"How am I supposed to believe anything you're saying? Things like this don't exist. They are made up tales to scare children." Ashton responded. Although I wondered if she was trying to convince herself.

"How do you think folklore started, Ashton? There is some truth behind every story"

Just then there was a knock at the door. Mary stepped in with a small piles of clothes for Ashton to choose from.

"Thank you Mary" I nodded at her as she set the items on the bed near Ashton.

"So how is this supposed to work then?" Ashton started again once Mary left the room. "Am I going to start becoming a wolf once a month and howl at the moon?"

I let out a deep laugh. I couldn't help it "You can't believe everything you read"

"I will step out for a few minutes, why don't you take a shower and get changed, you'll feel better and then we can continue our discussion." I motioned toward the bathroom. "There are fresh towels in the cabinet. This is my room, help yourself to whatever you need"

I stepped out and shut the door behind me.

Grady, meet me in my office. I mind linked my beta. We need to learn more about Ashton's background and why she was kept from her own kind.
