Blue eyes clashed with his red eyes. A lick left saliva down the side of his face as a light playful growl left the wolf. Reaching his arm up he touched her head tracing the black moon crest centred on her forehead. “So beautiful”, he praised. He knew she was white, but the last time he saw her she was wet and covered in mud and blood. She was exquisite, Baden’s wolf started going crazy in his mind wanting to be let out. Allowing it Baden phased pining Gemma to the floor licking her muzzle boldly before letting her rise.
Baden’s wolf was completely pitch black; he was at least double the size of Gemma. Nipping at her legs playfully through mind link, “ill race you princess?” Trying to link him back with, “you’re on” she was unsuccessful. Guess I still can’t link to males she thought, with a small whine before taking off leaving him in her dust. Baden followed after her with a chuckle, but after hours he still couldn’t even catch her. “Well no wonder my pack had trouble catching you”, Baden shot through mind link. “Come on let’s head back”, sprinting past his side Gemma was headed back to the house and god damn she was going to beat him again.
By the time Baden made it back to the forest tree line near the house Gemma was already there dressed smiling. Ian walked towards Baden getting quite close to Gemma who jumped out of his path and some. A growl left Baden’s wolf aimed at Ian who was bringing him some pants and a top which he ended up throwing so he didn’t’ have to get close enough to be swiped by Baden’s angry wolf. Gemma turned running to Sarah who called out from the den house door saying lunch was ready.
Once Gemma reached Sarah, “your wolf looks so similar to that of my brother. I am sorry if I over did it, I just felt like he was right there next to me”.
“Don’t be silly, I can transform whenever you want to see him”, she pulled Gemma in for a hug.
Arms clasped around her waist lifting her into a big body, “mine, you can only hug me.” Baden ordered kissing down the back of her neck as Gem shivered backing harder into his body. “I’m sorry about earlier, the elders always try butting into pack matters. They get me so worked up.”
Not even noticing the large number of pack members now surrounding them, Gemma turned in his arms staring directly into his red eyes. Reaching up she grabbed the neckline of his top pulling him down for a peck on the lips. “You are forgiven”, she smiled. “Just don’t do it again, or ill have to..”. Gemma abruptly stopped stiffening as Zac who she identified as her main abuser when captured walked in.
“Don’t be frightened Gem, he will never lay a finger on you ever again. To be honest I’m still contemplating if I should remove his fingers”. Baden whispered in her ear. Spotting Baden and Gemma Zac bowed his head in respect and submission before leaving the kitchen dinning area. Sarah interrupted their exchange, motioning them over to get a plate of ravioli. The kitchen was getting quite busy making it hard for Gemma to be comfortable due to all the males. “Lets eat in my office”, Baden suggested while taking Gemma’s plate out her hand to carry it for her.
Walking towards Baden office a little boy was sprinting down the corridor slamming into Baden’s legs, before falling backwards. “This is not a playground”, Baden hurled the words at the boy who already had tears in his eyes. He couldn’t have been more then 5 years of age. Quickly jumping up and looking for the nearest person as a shield he jumped behind Gem holding onto her leg. “Let go of my mate”, Baden shouted.
“Baden”, Gemma shot out in a harsh tone without meaning to. Turning she bend down to kneel in front of the little boy. “He’s sorry he didn’t mean to yell at you. Are you okay?” The little boy though cared for by the pack was an orphan, his parents lived in a house outside the compound and were killed by rogues. The tears in the little boy’s eyes started to fall as he latch his arms around Gemma’s neck seeking comfort. Standing up she rubbed the little boys back, “it’s okay sweety where is you mum and dad? I can help you find them”. Gemma looked to Baden, he shook his head indicating they were no longer around. Revising, “well how about you stay and eat with me? I am Gemma.”
“Really, you will let me stay with you?” Gemma smiled nodding at the boy as she held him back a little to wipe at his tears. “I am Cole, Princess Luna”. Baden was not impressed not only was he stuck with this snot nose brat. He was missing out on alone time with Gem and he called her princess, that was his nick name for her. Jealously raged through Baden as he watched the little boy snuggle deeper into her arms. Linking to Ian, “get this little boy out now, send Sarah”.
Ian laughed out loud suddenly in the kitchen causing a few people to stare at him as he watched Baden, and Cole who was in Gemma’s arms entering Baden’s office. Looking at Sarah indicating towards Baden’s office, “you better go get Cole. Baden might kill the poor child if he stays near Luna any longer”, through mind link.
Gemma sat on the couch with little Cole sitting nicely on her lap. Baden took the seat next to her placing the two plates on the coffee table in front of them. Leaning forward with Cole Gemma stabbed a piece of ravioli with her fork. “Here you go Cole, open up”. Baden was furious beyond words, this little wolf had his mate wrapped around his little finger.
After finishing his mouthful Cole looked up at Gemma with his big brown eyes, “Princess Luna, can you be my mate I’ll take really good care of you. You can even share my toys and my room”.
