Her Forever
Chapter 27

Seth

Sadie’s love to please others is heart-warming. As we ate lunch with the pack, I realized she knew every warrior and patrol officer’s name. Not only that, she knew their mates and children as well. This is something I’ve never had the desire or time to do. I’m too busy making sure the pack is safe rather than building any sort of rapport or friendship.

The only friendships I held true, and they know who I really am, were my officers. Marco, Nathan, and Ethan. Unfortunately, having one of your own friends betray you in such a way only makes me question the loyalty of the others.

Nathan was still strung up in the pack prison with silver. I laid off the wolfsbane so he could still connect with his wolf. I’m growing soft, and Sadie has done that to me. Part of me feels sorry for Nathan. He has waited as long as I have for a mate; it still doesn’t excuse his want and needs to betray werewolf traditions and his Alpha- even though he didn’t know she was mine.

Sadie has been dropping hints here and there about Nathan, asking where he is and if she could visit with him. I know Rebecca and Lela have told her of his crimes; she hasn’t brought them up to me, though. Sadie’s treading lightly with me, which I appreciate. She understands he was one of my closest friends, but her compassion and mercy keep coming into play. Tonight at dinner, I plan to speak with her about Nathan and what our plans should be. She won’t like the plans that I want to implement.

I walk Sadie into a private restaurant 45 minutes from the pack house. It is a small jazz club and restaurant that I used to go to several years ago with other unmated males for drinks when I visited here. Getting away from the pack houses was a treat. Away from the responsibilities, even if it was for a few hours.

We walked into the club, and I instantly noticed the men at the bar eyeing my mate. I snaked my hand around her waist, and she looked up and smiled at me. With a quick sigh from her, we are led to a table in the back corner. It was an intimate table, a bit from the music and other prying eyes; I reserved it just for her.

“You know, this is my first date.” She said as she sat in her seat. “I couldn’t have asked for better company.”

“I’m glad you like it, Love. Don’t worry, I have much more in store.” I winked. Sadie blushed and looked down at her lap. I hope she never loses that blush; she looks so innocent when she does not know what to do or say.

The waitress comes over to take our order, and Sadie asks me to order for her. Nothing prides a wolf more is when your mate trusts your judgment on food and lets you provide for her.

We talked about our childhoods, our likes, and dislikes, and our favorite music and movies. We have spent little time together like this since we met, and with the hour and a half of just talking like this, I couldn’t help but love her more. Yeah, love had floated in my head, and my wolf only agreed.

“So my father thought it would be a great idea to take his eight-year-old son on a bear hunt,” I started as Sadie sipped on her wine. She giggled as she patted her mouth with a napkin. “My mother wasn’t for this at all, said that he was only going to scare me half to death and never become the big bad alpha he always wished his son to be.” I took a bite of my steak as I recalled the memory.

“He packed up our bags, and it only held fire starter and a couple of blankets. No tents, just us and the sky. He told me about our ancestors, how they were more wolf than human. There was no battle between the two; it was just primal instinct to hunt.” Sadie leaned closer into the seat as she stared at me wide-eyed. I gave her a smile that broke her out of her trance, but continued to beg for more.

“So he took me deep within the wilderness, with me hanging on to the scruff of his neck. His wolf took good care of me; all wolves take care of their pups. Just like I’ll take care of you.” Sadie put her hand on mine as she scooted closer to me. The warmth of her touch made Caspian growl, and she giggled as she buried her head into my chest.

“I’d like that,” she whispered. “But please, continue your story.” I cleared my throat.

“So anyway, before I was distracted by the sexy temptress beside me,” Sadie threw her head back and laughed, and gave a playful slap. “Stoop! Tell the story!”

“Right. So my father took me deep in the forest; he stayed in his wolf form as we waited for two days for a bear. We didn’t eat, didn’t sleep. Both of our eyes open, peering for any sign of the bear to come out of its den. It had to come out at some point; winter was almost over. We heard the growls of the bear eventually, so my father had me scale a tree to watch from above. Only, when my father went around the cave to chase it towards us, the bear wasn’t there. It was behind me, staring at me for its first meal of the season.” Sadie gasped as she gripped my arm tightly. Like she didn’t know what was going to happen? I laughed at her cuteness as I kissed her nose.

“The bear charged and hit the tree, shaking it as I fell to the ground, since I wasn’t expecting it. It stayed quiet, knowing my father was close. Using its padded paws, he charged at me, but my father taught me to never run away from a fight. I charged him to, jumping clear over his head and rounded my body as I put its thick neck into an arm death grip.” I showed Sadie how I put my arm around the bear, and she continued to stare at my arms like they were the most substantial piece of steel. I grew my chest, proud that I could make her so worried and scared for me.

“I threw my body around and I was able to crack the bear’s neck. As it toppled to the ground, my father came back around howling for me to run, but I was pinned under the bear. Its lifeless body was too heavy for me to lift, but I twisted its neck just right.” Sadie let out a breath that she held and gripped me tighter.

“And you were only eight???”

“Yeah, that’s when my family took me to a seer. I was going to be the strongest Alpha in our homeworld.”

“Wow,” she breathed. “That’s amazing.”

Unfortunately, Sadie let go of my arm so we could eat our dinner in peace. Sadie would glance up at me from time to time, smiling, but then would have a contemplative look. Her mind was turning, and I wanted to know what it was.

I could sense her getting nervous; I think I knew what she would ask, so instead, I brought it up for her. “Love, I think we need to talk about Nathan.” She looked at me in surprise, shock even that I would bring it up.

“What Nathan did is a dishonorable offense. If this happened back in my pack lands, he would already be dead.” Sadie gasped in shock. “I know Rebecca and Lela told you about his crimes. Putting a scent and trying to claim someone else’s mate is serious.”

“I know Seth, I know.” She fumbled with her dress. “I think we need to figure something else out. He has a mate out there; he hasn’t found her. You would just be punishing her, too. Doesn’t his mate deserve happiness?”

“She would be given a second chance mate. She wouldn’t be affected,” I told her flatly.

“But, Seth, think of all the good things he has done in his life for you and the pack. He made a mistake. Maybe I could talk to him? Find out his reasoning?? I’m sure another punishment would work better than death!” she pleaded.

My Sadie was so compassionate and forgiving. I remember the night he tried to k**s her and the horrified look on her face. She wanted to give someone that made her completely uncomfortable a second chance. I don’t know if I have it in me to allow that. The thought of him trying it again brings anger to the surface.

“I can’t just let him go, Sadie. What if he tried again? I can’t let anything happen to you!” My fists pounded the table a bit too harshly. Some couples turned to look at us but quickly looked away when they saw my face.

Sadie came and sat with me on the same side of the booth. Gently putting her hand on my thigh. “I’m not saying he gets out free; I’m not saying he should be completely forgiven by you yet. I think you and I should talk to him. Also, if it makes you feel better…” she smiled. “Once I am marked, then you can let him out.”

My eyes lit up. Was she really ready to be marked? It had only been a week. Werewolves usually mark within a day, but being a human, I thought it would be more. “Are you wanting to be marked so soon? Once the Ministry deems, it’s safe?” I asked.

“I couldn’t imagine a life without you; I feel like I am supposed to be here. I know I haven’t had all my answers yet, and I would like to have more of your world revealed to me before I am marked. We are just waiting on The Ministry, right?” She said curiously.

“Yes, once they look you over, I will tell you everything. What you are getting into, what everything is, I’ll tell you.” I said happily. “I just don’t want to overwhelm you with this magic that is on you. I know there is something wrong, and I can’t have you hurt again. Seeing you in so much pain caused me to lose so much control,” I whispered. Sadie leaned in and gave me a quick peck on the lips, but I wrapped my hands around her waist and pulled her in for a deeper one.

Sparks flew across our mouths as I explored her. She was warm, tender, and soft, everything I was not. Her soul teased mine, knowing I could have her but not at this moment. Marking her will be the best day of my life. She will be mine, and I would be hers. We would live together, ruling over our pack, and she wouldn’t be the mother of our pups but mother to everyone around us. She has proven repeatedly of her loyalty to werewolves and the compassion she has for them.

I whimpered as she pulled away from the k**s. Her enormous hazel eyes looked into mine. “Let’s go dance; you still need to make it up to me from chewing me out at the club.” She gripped my dress shirt and started giggling.

“You will never let me live down that one mistake from the club, are you?” The thought of calling her those mean things several weeks ago when she tried to dance with me still stings. I could have had her for longer if I wasn’t such a pain in the a*s.

“I’ve forgiven you; I’m just going to be the proper woman and hold it over your head for a while.” Grabbing my hand, she led me to the dance floor. My towering height hovered over her petite frame. She still got her arms around my neck with the heels she was wearing.

We danced for an hour, just holding one another. My large hands could almost encompass her tiny waist. She was so damn small. I wondered how she survived the outside world without a protector for so long. I’m glad we found each other; I’ll protect her the rest of our lives. Sadie’s eyes drooped; she had such little energy; I noticed. I’d have to toughen her up and eat a bit more. I took her back to the car and buckled her seatbelt. A gesture she thought to be sweet and endearing.

It was midnight. Most of the pack house was asleep, except for a few warriors trading shifts in the night. Some of Ian’s warriors looked at Sadie with lustful eyes.

Sadie was a sight to behold, but I couldn’t stop them all the time. I gave a quick, deadly look, and they scampered off to do their chores.

As we reached the stairs, Sadie paused and was about to take off her shoes when I lifted her up one arm under her legs and the other behind her back, carrying her up the stairs.

“Oh, thank goddess, I was about to cry having to climb all those stairs!” She whispered in my ear. The tickle from her breath on my skin made me twitch. As I was trying to calm myself, Sadie then nipped my ear with her teeth. That little minx.

“If you keep doing that, I won’t be able to stop myself,” I said with my breath raspy.

“What if I don’t want you to stop?” she said seductively.

I lost it.

I f*****g lost it.

I ran up the stairs with her lightly giggling and opened and locked the door quickly. Taking long strides, I threw her gently on the bed. With a quick bounce, she took off her strappy shoes.

“Leave them on,” I whispered.

Her breathing became shallow and frequent. I took off my jacket and unbuttoned the top two buttons of my shirt before laying beside her on the bed. I kissed her deeply and roughly. Her hands went to my hair and started to lightly tug on it, causing a m**n and growl to leave my throat.

Her dress inched up closer to her h**s as she tried to put a leg over my h*p. One of my hands gripped her a*s and massaged up and down her outer thigh. Her m**n let me know she was enjoying and my wolf howled in achievement.

I found the zipper at the back of her dress and quickly ripped the dress off in one go. She squealed and giggled light heartedly. “You are wearing too many clothes, Seth.” She whispered.

Sadie took the lead and unbuckled my pants. The sound of the buckle coming off made Sadie’s heart rate speed up. She was getting excited, but I knew she was nervous. She’s never seen me naked, and I’m sure the thought of it was frightening. Along with my large, bulky build, I’m sure she has reservations.

We were down to our undergarments, and she looked up at me. “Please, Seth.” She begged. Damn, I wanted her. I wanted to mate with her right then, but until she is checked out by The Ministry, I can’t.

I tugged her underwear down her leg with one finger and kissed the inside of her thighs. She looked at me in worry. “Trust me, Love, I’ll make you feel good, just relax.”

Her body went limp and started moaning as I got closer to her core. She was wet for me and that made me even more hard. I’ve wanted to taste her since the moment I saw her. This is my chance to indulge in the taste of her sweet nectar.

I pulled her lips back and began my sweet assault on her bundle of nerves. She gasped in surprise and held my head by my hair. She squeezed every time I hit a sweet spot. I darted my tongue in and out of her wet hole as she squirmed in ecstasy.

Feeling her release was near, I sucked on her clit, she convulsed. “Oh, Seth, oh my, SETH!” She came, and she came so hard c*m was sliding into my mouth. As she rode out her high, I licked her clean. Her taste was that of fruit and honey, sweet and tangy all the same time. I hummed into her core and she stiffened again.

“Seth, oh, it’s happening again!” She screamed, and I stuck my finger into her core. Screaming at surprise, she wrapped her legs around my head. I couldn’t help but chuckle at her antics.

I thrusted two fingers into her as I sucked on her bundle of nerves. She was rocking and convulsing. “Baby, you are so tight!” I growled into her cunt. I could barely fit two fingers into her. I’m sure she is going to hurt our first time.

Sadie screamed my name and arched her back as I plowed fingers into her. Her back slowly came back down on the wet mattress filled with her juices. Her breathing slowed down, and she looked at me. Still hunger in her eyes.

She got up and had me lay on my back. Kissing my ear and pulling on it. I g*****d in satisfaction. Where the f**k did she learn this? Her k****s went down my neck and on the torso of my body. She nipped at my h**s, leaving small hickies in their place. I couldn’t wait to show them off next time I shifted in front of the warriors.

She roughly tugged at my boxers. This was a do or die moment. I was waiting for her to stop, but half hoping she would continue her assault on my body. As she pulled them down, my manhood slapped my stomach when it was released. Her eyes were wide and first full of concern.

“Baby, you don’t have to do anything.” I sat up, but she shook her head and put her hand on my chest, pushing me back down into the mattress.

She angled her head between my thighs and held my member in her hand. Is she really that innocent? She looks like a pro.

As if she could read my mind, “I did my research. I want to make you feel good too, Alpha.”

I just about came right there. Damn, she was so f*****g sexy. “Oh baby, f**k yes.”

Sadie licked my slit and gently took me into her mouth. She took me as deep as she could, which was a lot. I’m so f*****g proud of her being my mate. She wanted to make me feel good as much I did her.

Her head bobbed, and I couldn’t help but put my hand on her head. Feeling her going up and down, I tried to push her a little more. “a little more baby, just a little more.” She gagged but quickly recovered and took more of me.

She felt so f*****g good. Her wet mouth around my mean looking beast gave me shivers. Then she started humming into it. I lost it. I was going to come right there like a pubescent boy.

“Sadie! Goddess! I’m going to c*m!” I was waiting for her to come up, but she never did. As streams of c*m coated her throat, she took every bit with stride and drank it all down. When she came up, she had a bit on the side of her mouth, which I quickly wiped away from her.

“f**k, baby.” I quickly grabbed her and put her next to my body. Both of us panting and feeling each other’s warmth around us. I kissed her forehead, each cheek, and finally her mouth. She kissed me so lovingly, so passionately. I let her control the k**s and felt her hands roam my body.

“Seth?”

“Yes, Love?”

“I, I love you.” She breathed. My heart stopped; I didn’t think a human could love so quickly. I knew it would take time because humans are not supposed to feel the bond so quickly. However, she seemed to prove me wrong. After a moment of not replying, I smiled at her.

“I love you too, so much.” I grabbed her and held her close. For the first time in my life, I felt tears go down my face. What has this woman done to me? I’m not supposed to feel like this. She did it though. She broke down my walls, and I can love. Even being without her for so long in my lifetime, she could fix my bitter heart.

“Seth, are you OK?”

“Of course I am; I’m so happy right now,” I told her honestly.

“You are mine, and I am yours, right?” She smiled brightly.

“Forever and always, love. Forever and always.”
