25 Chapter 25

I woke up with a green bruise on my jawbone, and for once, it wasn’t from my mother. She was leaving tonight before I got home for her conference,

reminding me that I was supposed to be going to see Taming of the Shrew with Wesley this weekend. To say I wasn’t scared shitless would be a lie.

I made my way down the highway on my bike with the same wolves around me, following along the trails of the forest. I had to confront him today, especially since he was so reckless and careless regarding his wolves. I just had to hold in my wolf and witch and the bull shit that comes along with it.

I pulled into the parking lot and tried to hide how excited I got when I saw Wesley’s face visibly brighten at just the sound of my bike. I shut off the engine just as he reached me, my hair picking up with my helmet. I shook it out with my fingers, my green eyes looking up to meet Wesley’s guilty blue ones.

my leg over my bike, picking my bag out from the small compartment on the back. “I’m okay.” I brushed my thumb along his jaw, noting how his eyes darkened and shivers erupted under his skin.

He reached forward but I flinched out of reflex, but he took it a completely opposite way. His eyes fell and his shoulders slumped, his body turning as he muttered something to himself.

He gave up searching for whatever it was and pressed his lips to mine, but instead of the rushed one I had given him, this one was full of the passion I had to hold back. I felt his love pour through the bond as his lips moved with mine.

seriously the best thing I had ever felt. It made all the punches worth it. All the cuts and broken bottles full of alcohol, all the whips and the names, it made every single second I had spent in agony worth it.

Holy shit I was kissing Wesley. Holy shit holy shit holy shit. He pulled away reluctantly, both of our chests heaving up and down as we tried to suck in the air. His forehead leaned against mine as his eyes shut, his breath spraying across my face. I smelt his toothpaste and morning coffee, my wolf crying for another kiss. ‘We could just whisk him away, tie him up, and never let him leave the room!’

‘Such a good idea Alicia, oh how did you come up with such a genius plan?!’ I commented back sarcastically, my hands shockingly making their way through his hair. I felt him shiver under my touch, my lip rolling between my teeth to stop myself from pressing them to his skin.

‘It is! I mean, we could just mark him, and make him ours, and never let any other she-bitch touch or even look at him!’
