Fairy Dust & Werewolf Lust

Chapter 9

If You’ll Have Me

Everlee

Being this close to Lennox alone is much easier than I thought in a lot of ways, and more difficult in, well pretty much one way. I want him. Bad. I know he wants me too. If he thinks he is hiding the constant bulging in his pants, he is wrong. I’ll let him think I’m oblivious though, until the moment is right. But other than the constant need I feel to touch him, being with him feels natural. I know I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be when I’m near him. I have never in my life felt like this before. I always felt out of place at home, and though the human world was a better fit, it was incredibly lonely.

As soon as Lennox walked into the bank, I felt like I was finally home. And that feeling has gotten stronger every minute I’ve spent with him. The pull I have always felt was drawing me nearer to him, I had no doubt. It wasn’t wanderlust like my parents thought, it was the Goddess Lyra leading me to my fated mate.

“Lennox, how does this work? Are we just mates now?”

I’m ready to get the answers to the questions racing in my mind.

“Well, yes we are fated mates, but that doesn’t mean we have to accept each other.”

My eyes get wide, I feel a stabbing pain in my chest at the thought of Lennox not wanting me to be his mate. He notices my fear and smiles.

“I have no intention of rejecting you Everlee. Rejecting your chosen mate is rare, but an Alpha rejecting their mate is just unheard of. Being with our fated mate makes us a better version of ourselves in every way, stronger, faster, smarter, a better leader, less selfish, the list goes on. A mate is more than a spouse, it’s the other half of your soul, in someone else’s body.”

The passion he feels about the mate bond is evident in his words.

“Why would anyone reject their mate?”

I honestly can’t fathom walking away from Lennox. It actually hurts just to imagine it.

“Most of the time, rejection happens when the mates aren’t a wolf. Other races don’t feel the bond as strongly, especially humans. Most wolves spend their whole childhood in anticipation of the day they find their mate. Once we do, we would sooner die than reject them.”

“Oh. So, you feel the bond stronger than me? Because, well, it’s pretty strong for me. I think I might have felt it my whole life on some level.”

I blush a bit, hoping that admitting I have strong feelings for him is the right move.

“Well I don’t actually know. Not much is known about fairies, as I said, we thought they were extinct. I know a bit more than average because I’m an alpha and I’ve had to study the history of past wars. What do you mean you’ve felt it all your life?”

His brow furrows when he concentrates. It’s adorable, probably not a word often associated with this giant of a man.

“Ive always felt this, pull. It’s what led me to leave home when I was 16.”

I suddenly get very self conscious. I look down at my lap, picking at my nails.

“Fairies aren’t extinct, but they may as well be. They have no intention of re-joining the rest of the world. I knew when I left, I would never return. It would put what is left of the Fae at too great a risk. I wanted to leave, even if that meant I would live in danger, outside of the protection of the territory. I couldn’t explain it before, but now I know. The pull I had always felt, it went away the second you walked in. I think it was the Goddess Lyra leading me to you.”

He sits quiet for a while, dissecting everything I said.

“So there are more fairies, but they live in hiding, for their own protection. Which isn’t a bad idea by the way, the witches would have no issues starting another war to wipe them out if they knew. I agree with you about the pull. It sounds similar to what wolves feel before we find our mate. For me it was like a hole in me, an emptiness, reaching out for my other half. It honestly sounds like you feel much more of the mate bond than any other race, besides wolves. I admit I don’t know much about Goddess Lyra, The Moon Goddess is the Goddess of wolves, she chooses the wolves mates.”

He pauses for a second, a twisted look on his face, like he wants to say something to me but he’s unsure if he should.

“What is it? You can tell me.”

I probe.

“I was just thinking, if you accept me, you will be in constant danger.”

He looks pained at the thought.

“Witches and fairies have been at odds for centuries. Once the witches thought they wiped out all Fae, they quickly realized their mistake. As you know, Fairy dust is full of magic. It was a key ingredient to a lot of their worst spells. Once they ran out, they could no longer keep the hold they had over other races. They eliminated an entire race for only 100 years of superiority. They are still strong, but easily dealt with and not really a threat to most of us, aside from humans. If other races find out you are a fairy… you’re life will always be in danger.”

He hangs his head and gets up from the couch. I frown at the distance he put between us. He shakes his head, pinching the bridge of his nose.

“Lennox, I knew danger was a risk, I came anyway. And now that I’ve met you, I have no regrets. If the Goddess Lyra and your Moon Goddess fated us to be together, I trust them.”

I walk over to him, I place my hand on his shoulder and turn him to me. I wrap my arms around his waist and buried my head into his chest. He gasps at first, but then I feel him relax and he engulfs me in his massive arms.

“What do we need to do to make it official?”

I ask shyly, having a pretty good feeling s*x was involved.

“What? After everything I just told you, you want to accept me? You want to be my mate? Black River’s Luna?”

The look of shock on his face is almost funny. I giggle.

“If you’ll have me. Although, I have to admit, I have no idea what a Luna is, or what it entails. But if it means I get to stay with you, then I will try my best.”

I have never been more sure of myself, as I am with this decision. 24 hours ago this man walked into my small, lonely life, and now here I am, agreeing to be his mate.

“IF I’ll have you?! Ha! That was never a question, my love. As far as what the Luna is, she helps the Alpha run the pack. She takes care of pack events, sits on the pack board, helps make decisions, and has a vital relationship with pack members that the Alpha doesn’t always get to have. It’s a lot of work, but I know you will be an amazing Luna.”

He says with pride in his voice.

“Well, I’ve never done any of that. The other fairies pretty much hated me for being different, and wanting to leave the safety of the territory. But, I can learn.”

I say confidently.

“How could they hate you? I assure you that won’t be the case at Black River. My mother will be there to guide you as well, and Goddess willing, as soon as Zeke finds his mate, it will be her job to help you with all of that, just like it’s Zeke’s job to help me. As well as my Gamma and his mate.”

He is beaming now.

He looks down at me and his eyes get dark, he moves his hands from my back, to my waist and picks me up, setting me gently on the kitchen island. I gasp, then giggle. He moves forward until he’s between my legs. I wrap my arms around his neck.

“Now. About making this official.”

He growls and it lights a fire deep in my abdomen. His hands travel up my sides, and over my breasts, my n*****s perking up at the sensation. He continues on, up my neck, until he’s cupping my face in his huge hands. He leans forward and his lips find mine. At first it’s soft, and sensuous. Then I feel his length harden against my thigh and my lips part as a moan escapes. He takes the chance to slip his tongue into my mouth, exploring every inch. I run my hand up the back of his neck and grab a fistful of hair, I gently pull and a low growl rumbles in his chest. Causing me to deepen the kiss as I pull closer to him. Wet doesn’t even begin to describe the state my panties are in. I can’t wait any longer, I need him now.
