Chapter Nine.
Training continued over the weekend. A lot of the juveniles had complained about not getting a day off, but one of the trainers let slip that they would be getting Tuesday off. Apparently, most of the trainers had pack duties to attend to that day. But first, they had to get through two days of gruelling boot camp. Kiara was aching by Sunday night. Her stomach muscles were sore and protesting after having to do two hundred sit-ups that afternoon. She couldn’t even bring herself to eat more than a few bites. Her wolf was starting to get cranky as well. She was a lot wilder than Kiara was. The wolf hated the constant rules and instructions. It wanted to sneak out again. Or better yet, go for a run on all fours. “We can’t.” Kiara murmured to her wolf. If even one person saw her, it was game over. They’d be hunted down and killed for sure. Her wolf squirmed uncomfortably in its cage. The moon was nearly full, adding to its frustration. Most shifters ran in animal form on the full moon. But Kiara had never been able to run with her pack. When she was younger and hadn’t yet learned how to suppress the change, Silver had kept her inside. Locked in a storage room in the depths of the den. He hadn’t done it to be cruel. He’d done it to keep her safe. Kiara had no idea what would happen Tuesday night when the moon was full, and she was surrounded by shifters all giving into the moon. Another wave of frustration washed over her. “Fine.” She sighed. The human part of her was starting to feel a little cooped up as well. She couldn’t run in her wolf form, but she could take a walk in the forest behind the hotel.
The cool night air brushed against her skin. Dried leaves and twigs crunched under her bare feet and the bright glow of the moon lit up the forest to light her way. Both Kiara and her wolf were feeling much more peaceful. She heard the soft tinkling of water and changed direction. It wasn’t long before she came to a beautiful stream. She stepped into it. The cold clear water splashing around her ankles.
Nick enjoyed taking a walk in the forest at night. The moon was nearly full, and the peaceful tranquillity was almost too much for his wolf to resist. His paws moved silently over the forest floor. Gentle night air, rustling his sleek grey fur. He padded down the forest path when he caught the soft scent of warm vanilla. Kiara. He followed her scent to the stream that ran through that part of the training ground. He froze. Kiara was lounging on a high flat rock at the water’s edge. Her body stretched out, bathing in the moon light. She was dressed in only her sports bra and a pair of briefs, the rest of her clothes in a pile beside the rock. Her stomach glistened with drops of water he longed to lick from her skin. Her beautiful face was turned up towards the moon, eyes closed as she soaked in its light. The sight of her stole his breath.
Kiara sensed someone watching her. She looked towards the trees to her left and spotted the bright golden eyes of a dark grey wolf. Her own wolf recognised him instantly. Nick. She watched him pad over to her. His movements graceful and silent. He was beautiful. Just before the gorgeous grey wolf reached her, there was a bright flash of light, and a man took his place. They reached for each other. The kiss was devouring. Kiara’s head swam with the sheer presence of the male in her arms. His lips left hers as they trailed down her body. Kiara’s soft gasps and moans spurring him on. Part of him knew he should stop. Turn around and go back the way he’d come. But he just couldn’t tear himself away. All the reason’s he had come up with to stay away, just melted.

Kiara’s mind couldn’t think straight. The only thing she could concentrate on was Nick’s lips branding her skin. He kissed down her throat, down her chest and unzipped her bra. Her breasts spilled out into the night air. He coated them with warm wet kisses, massaging them both in his hands before continuing. Cold air brushed her chest as Nick continued to leave a trail down her body. He didn’t stop until he reached the waistband of her panties. He looked up at her, needing to make sure she was okay with what he was about to do. Kiara was watching him with dark eyes hooded with lust. She wanted him. And despite her sudden nerves, she wanted this. Nick’s fingers hooked her waistband and slowly pulled. Kiara lifted her hips just enough to ease the removal of her last piece of clothing. She was completely bare to him then. And unlike the last time they had been together, Nick was stopping to take her all in. A blush coloured her cheeks. It had been a long time since she had been this vulnerable with someone. Not since Dash. Her thoughts didn’t have long to wander before Nick was touching her again. All thoughts of the other male were banished as he ran his fingers through her folds. Nick almost moaned. She was so wet for him. Swollen and glistening and vulnerable. He needed to taste her. Leaning in, he gave her most sensitive area a long slow lick. Her gasp loud in the quiet night air. He did it again, this time taking her c**t into his mouth. He applied a light suction and her hips suddenly bucked. The scent of her arousal was intoxicating. His wolf, drunk on lust, spurred him on. Nick slid a finger into her slick folds. She was already so wet and ready for him. Nick added another finger and gently pumped them inside of her while he continued to tease her c**t with his tongue. He had to use his other hand to hold her hips still. Kiara kept squirming as she moaned in pleasure. Her entire mind lost to lust. Nick kept stroking her as he moved his mouth to her inner thigh. He kissed and nuzzled her skin. Rubbing his stubbled checks everywhere he could, coating her most sensitive places with his scent. He returned his lips to her centre and she bucked. Her little pants were coming faster now as she got closer and closer to the edge. He increased his efforts and was rewarded with the moaning scream of her release. “Nick!” she called his name and sat bolt upright, reaching for him. Kiara grabbed him and pulled him in for a hard kiss, still riding the waves of the release he had given her. Nick’s erection was a burning weight against her belly. Another wave of need hit her. Her wolf needed him inside of her. Nick hissed in pleasure when her strong fingers wrapped around his c**k. She stroked him gently as she they kissed. She broke the kiss just long enough to whisper; “I need you.” He didn’t need to be told twice. Nick slid his hands under her bottom and lifted Kiara up onto him. She guided him inside her, loving the feeling of his c**k filling her up. With her legs wrapped around him and both hands on his shoulders they started to move. Their foreheads pressed together, their breath mingling with each other’s. They were both completely lost within each other as they made love under the moon. And that’s what it was. Although neither of them realised it at the time, it was much more than just s*x that they were having. It didn’t become apparent until their joint release when Kiara bit him again. Only this time, Nick couldn’t resist bitting her as well.

They walked back though the forest hand in hand. “That can’t happen again.” Kiara’s soft voice broke the peaceful silence between them. Nick stopped walking. Convinced that he must have heard her wrong. Kiara stopped as well, still holding his hand in hers. She looked down at the ground, refusing to look at him.
“What do you mean?” He was confused.
“You marked me.” She said, voice still soft.
“You marked me too.” He reminded her. “Twice.”
“That’s different.” Kiara argued. “I…” She didn’t have an excuse. “You should have known better. I… I can’t have your scent on me.” Nick felt like she had just slapped him. His hand slipped from hers and she felt the loss like a physical ache.
“I know.” He said surprising her. She looked up to see the disappointment on his face. “My father scares you right?”
“It’s not that. Not exactly.”
“Then what?” He placed his hands on her face so that she had to look at him. Kiara was hurting. He could see it. He just didn’t understand it.
“You don’t even know me.” She said. “I’m a juvenile from a rival pack. We’re children of Alphas Nick. And you don’t want me.” She was struggling under the pain of his gaze. She didn’t know how else to make him understand. “You don’t want me.” She repeated with more force this time. Suddenly Nick was gone, and Kiara was left standing alone on the path. A tear rolled down her cheek.
