But he'll take good care of her right??
~Parker’s Point of View~ *What exactly is happening right now, are we high or something,* my wolf Crush asks. As I walk with Hannah curled into me, the bare skin of her arm against mine, I’m not sure what the hell is happening. But I know that her scent is beyond intoxicating and being away from her for two days was torture. How the hell I could feel so strongly about someone I don’t even know, I can’t understand … but I’m not going to question it. Not after the year I’ve had. As I move with this mysterious female, I feel an odd sense of calm fall over me. It’s crazy weird because I’m not normally affectionate with females, especially in public. But nearly a year celebate… Goddess help me as I walk with this perfectly curved beauty … my body demands her proximity. I must have passed a dozen single females on my way into the dining hall, yet my wolf didn’t even spare them a glance. “How do I know your claws aren’t the sharpest,” she asks, once we’re outside. I pause for a second
~Hannah’s Point of View~ I’m nearly in a daze as I walk with Parker, unsure where we’re going or what I’m even doing. Scarlett left me, though I could probably find my way back to my room. Hmm, no. Suddenly the idea of being stuck in those four walls seems suffocating. Sleeping outside you can see what’s coming, you hear it and smell it. Being stuck in a tiny room makes me feel like a sitting duck. It’s likely twenty minutes from sunset and there’s a delicate calm once we’re in the trees. Parker holds his big warm hand in mine and for the first time since I can remember I feel … wanted? But not in the way Harrison wanted me. It’s not even close to the same thing. Rogues absolutely don’t trust strangers, we don’t just blindly follow. But right now, my body just wants to go where he goes. What would it be like to turn off my brain that’s always running on full blast and just … be in the moment? My mind wanders for a brief second before it takes a nose dive into reality. I have to a
~Hannah’s Point of View~ Before I know it, we’re sitting down and he’s cradling me in his lap. It’s just simply too much for me right now. Too much to process and even understand. I thought Seth and Rafe ruined my life that day but … did they save me from it? Save me from the fate I would have had under Harrison? “I brought you here because, well, everyone needs a place. Somewhere they can find their peace. I thought either we could share this or, it’s yours if you want it,” he whispers, making me look up at him. All the light from the sun is nearly gone, but I can very much see his handsome face. I turn slightly and take in the dark sky, the twinkling little balls of light already visible. Being under the open sky is where I belong, where I feel free. “I don’t think the moon and stars are yours to offer. I didn’t expect that kind of ego from you. How does your wolf feel about me being here, taking what is probably his favorite place too,” I state, with a playful smile. Really,
~Parker's Point of View~ *Let her lead, don’t seem overly anxious,* Crush warns. My, my how the mighty have fallen. Hours ago you were practically telling me to leave her alone. I literally have no idea if she’s a virgin, if she’s even experienced. But I very seriously doubt Harrison didn’t take her to bed. She’s far too great a temptation. I can’t think about it though. Crush assures me she’s not pregnant and that’s all I need. She’s obviously nervous though, and timid. Still learning to trust me and there’s no way in hell I can ruin that. And I better not blow right away, Goddess I should have jerked off today. It’s been so damn long since I felt a female. I drop the condoms on the nightstand and carefully move over her. She lays completely still, her succulent breasts heaving with her heavy breaths. Crush demands I relax her and I’m not sure how to do that. Any sex I’ve ever had was straight to the point after a little foreplay. This is different, SHE is different in every way
~Hannah’s Point of View~ I stand still in my spot, not quite knowing what to do. I have no idea what time it is though the sun was certainly up and bright. My stomach grumbles and I decide going after Parker isn’t the best plan. So instead, I make my way into Scarlett’s room, but I find it empty. It hits me that today is her birthday party. I should see if she needs any help. As I shower and find some clothes to borrow, I see her white party dress laid out. A small tray of jewelry and cute shoes with a big bow rest on her dresser. I run my fingers over a gold necklace with huge garnet stones and for a brief moment daydream about trying it on. But I scold myself and pull away, forced to remember my place. I’m certain I ruined things with Parker, I don’t know what I was thinking. Last night was just so… Magical? Unlike anything I’d ever had. For a while, I was happy. Deliriously happy. Gone were my struggles, my brain trying to tell me not to enjoy it. Not to trust him. I completely
~Rafe’s Point of View~ *Let’s hit it,* Cruz says, telling me we need to get outside. We need the sun on our skin and sweat on our back. We need to hit someone, draw blood. A solid workout will help get that damn rogue off my mind. Maybe. Not likely. At least the birthday party will keep Cassandra off my back for the day, maybe even the night if I’m lucky. I’ll take what I can get. I didn’t sleep a single fucking wink last night knowing that Parker was off with Hannah. Though if he has a strong attraction to her, I’m terrified my theory might actually be true. Without her wolf, there’s no way of knowing for sure. And being that I have a damn girlfriend, I can’t exactly fight him for her. Not openly anyhow. If my theory is true, there are far bigger implications than I care to think about right now. When I walk back to my room to change I pass her new one, wondering if she’ll ever even sleep in it. Parker is masterful with the ladies, but she’s hardly any normal female. Those
~Hannah’s Point of View~ “Stupid, idiotic males! Goddess what a waste of oxygen,” I mumble, too pissed off to even think. I’m honestly shocked when I’m able to make my way back to the packhouse with no one bothering me. Maybe Rafe told everyone to steer clear of me or I might start shooting fire from my eyes. I swear if my brothers are even the smallest bit stupid enough to-- I stop abruptly as I’m about to get in the shower, there’s a weird lull in my mind. My body freezes, trying to chase the feeling but it’s gone just as quickly. I slam my hand against the wall. “Come on wolf. Come on girl, I need you. More than ever. If you’re there, please come out, come out,” I whisper. But as usual, there’s nothing. I get into the shower and lean against the cool tile. Everything that’s happened since I came to the pack is everything I’ve always worked so hard to avoid. People and their drama. Romantic entanglements. Stupid wanna be Alphas trying to get themselves killed for no good r
~Hannah’s Point of View~ “Happy birthday toooo yooooou,” everyone sings, as Scarlett grins for all she’s worth and blows out her candles. Everyone claps as the Luna begins to cut the cake and pass it out. The music starts up again and I want nothing more than to go to my room, take off all this stuff that has no place on my body and have a hot bath. I can’t even think about trying to leave tonight. I’m too mentally spent. If cats have nine lives, I’m certain I must have a hundred but I’m not naive enough to think they’ll last forever. If Pax hadn’t been there to defend me tonight, I have no doubt I’d be behind bars. Rogues don’t believe in luck, we believe in ourselves. I’ve often had the uncanny ability to get myself out of sticky spots … but getting out of Nightwind alive seems to be looking like more of a challenge every hour. I have no doubt Cassandra will NOT leave me alone. She’ll put something in my food, poison ivy in my shampoo. A female scorned will do anything to get re
