Chapter 17

―Minerva―

We get back to the packhouse when other patrollers take the shift. I wasn't sleepy yet and I need something to put me on sleep. Yves suggests watching movies in the living room. So, we did and he gets a bowl of chips and cans of flavored beers.

We cuddle on the warm blanket while we are near the chimney. His arms are wrapped around me while the bowl is on my lap. The movie in the title of 'San Andreas' is showing on the TV. It was about man versus nature story. About earthquakes and the fault line from San Andreas to San Francisco.

'Not sleepy yet?' he whispered in my ear sniffling my hair.

'Not yet...'

He yawns and leans on my head. He's really tired but I am still fully energized. I feel someone watching us and the aura I felt is familiar and the same from the coven place of Helena. I turn my head to the staircase but there's no one there.

'Hmm, something wrong?' He murmurs.

'No,' I just watch the movie. It was intense and not bad.

Yves is already asleep. I turn off the TV and let him lay on the sofa. I lay beside him covering the blanket to us. I stare at the chimney while the fire is dancing. Someone is there watching us again. I can feel her. I saw her reflection on the television screen.

'What do you want?' I whispered. She's a she-wolf so she can hear me. Yves and his wolf are asleep and they can't be bothers by small sounds.

'Nothing, I was just wandering around. I can't sleep.' She said, sounding sweet.

'Hmm, I left a tea on the counter it might help you.'

'Thanks.' And she walks to the kitchen.

I turn around to my mate and stare at his jawline with small hairs there. I touch it and it was a bit sharp. I touch his kissable red lips. That mouth is a good kisser and I love those lips. I move up a little and kiss his lips. I gasped when he wrapped his legs on me and pulls me down. My lips pressed on his upper lip. At that moment he wrapped his arms around me.

'Want to have around here?' he murmurs.

'Just go back to sleep.' I whisper caressing his face and then brushing my fingers to his hair.

'Hmm, just like that.' He nuzzles on my face. I keep brushing his hair and he keeps rubbing my back until he totally falls asleep and I fall asleep too.

<><><><>

'Hey, bossy...'

I still wanted to sleep but he kept kissing my neck and squeezing my breast. Is this how he wakes me up? I didn't open my eyes waiting for his next move. His hands are inside the blanket and it caresses my thighs going to my panties. I immediately pull it before he inserted his fingers inside my garnet. We fall on the carpet while my knees are at both sides of his hips. I pinned his hands on the floor.

'You are awake!' he smirked. 'I know that it was a good idea of waking you up.'

'Stop messing around.' I sat on top of him and breathe.

My heart is pounding fast because of him. Then I decided to get up and I drop my butt on the sofa. I look at the wall clock and it was already nine thirty-one. I sigh again and watch him stood then stretch his arms and body. He even removed his sweatshirt and shirt in front of me then he started pushing up on the floor.

He was muscular and those biceps are big enough also those abdominal. I cross my arms over my chest and cross my legs. I yawn watching him pushing up. Then he uses one hand on pushing up while the other one is at his back.

'Boss, sit at my back.'

'Why?' I asked plainly.

'Just sit on my back.' He said breathlessly.

I chuckle and stood sitting on his back. I put all my weight on and he kept pushing up. I pull up my feet trying not to reach the floor. He grunted and kept pushing up. His phone makes a sound and it vibrates. It was on the table so I took it and open the notification. It was a message from someone and it was a girl. She pictures herself showing her bobs. Then there's another picture of her touching herself on her private part.

'What is it?' he asked while keep pushing up.

'A girl sent her picture naked asking you for sex.' I said bluntly. That makes him stop pushing up and he falls on the carpet. I tap on the phone and reply to her message.

'Hi, Ves... I feel horny these past days... I need you, master.' It says.

Fuck yourself slut! Don't ever send your disgusting pictures to my mate. If you are horny try to fuck yourself in the street. It will get males' attention! So fuck off!

And that's my reply. I can say bad words when I am mad. They thought I can't. Yves snatches his phone from me and I glare at him. He was staring at the vagina of the girl. He deleted it and looks at me. He immediately looks away because of my scary glare.

'I-ah... we had a little history...' he explains to me even though I didn't say anything to him or I didn't tell him to explain so. 'But it's over, boss.'

'Hmm.' I just said then I stood. 'I want you to get rid of them ASAP. If they keep bugging you again, or if you even entertain one of them, I swear not to have sex with you ever again.' I threaten him. He stands and faced me.

'Oh, come on. That won't happen. Look, I am not entertaining them. I will just blacklist them if that's you wish.' he promised to caress my face.

'I want them not to bother you.' I kissed his lips. His phone ring again and I snatch it away from him. I read the message from the girl.

Oh, come one baby. Don't make me laugh. I know that you are horny too. It says.

I tapped the phone and called her. She immediately answers it.

'Baby... I am glad that you call...' she's speaking too husky and like she's having her masturbation.

'I am not making you laugh bitch. If you keep sending and hooking on my mate I will curse you not to ever get off from that bed ever again.' I speak.

'Who the fuck is this?! Where is Yves!?'

I breathe trying to be cool. Yves kept on rubbing his nape thinking about what to do.

'He's here with me, now apologies.' I demand her.

'I don't give a shit on you! Yves won't even try to fuck you. You are not a submissive like.'

'Yes, I am not. Because I wasn't a slut and a bitch. Now, apologies.'

'No!'

'Very well. I curse you to be stuck on that bed until you learn who you had—'

'Honey, please... just ignore her.' Yves said full of worry.

'No! She had to be punished.' I insisted and finish the curse. I turn off the phone and throw it to him.

'I'm sorry...'

'Okay, let's just give each other space. I am not in the mood of talking to you now.'

I walk upstairs to his room to take a bath. I didn't wait for him to come up. I heard him opening and closing the door. He even enters the bathroom. Good thing that I had closed the sliding door in the shower.

'Don't leave like this.' He speaks.

'I am not mad at you.' I told him while rubbing the soap on my body. 'You don't have to say sorry.'

'But it was my fault that I didn't block my exes' numbers. Are you leaving this day?'

'Yes.'

'When are you coming back?'

'Maybe before the ritual for you to be the next Alpha.'

'That's too long...' he sulked. He leans on the door frame and I found it hilarious how he's sulking because of it. 'Can we have a video call? Every free time?' he was worried. He shouldn't need to worry.

I turn off the shower and wrapped the towel around my naked body. I slide the glass door open and I walk towards him.

'Sure.' I told him and I walk past him. He held my arm and kisses my wet shoulders.

'Can we have a last two rounds before you went to the hospital?'

'I don't think so. I am not in the mood.'

I have to fix myself to go to the hospital to meet Haney and Dina. Yves just got out from the shower with a towel around his waist. He wiped his head and body and he hugged me from the back like he doesn't want me to go. He kissed my hair.

'I will miss you. Text me every hour, okay?'

'Okay. I'll try it.' I put important things in my bag. I will just leave some of my clothes here. I pull my scarf and wrapped it around my neck. Then I faced him and kissed his lips. 'I have to go.' He kissed my lips and caressed my hair.

'Take care... I—' he stopped leaving me hanging from his words. I stare at him, and he sighs. 'I will miss you totally.'

I don't know why I suddenly felt disappointed with his words. I guess it wasn't I am expecting him to say. I just nod, and I tiptoe kissing his forehead. I love you... I just say it in my mind. Then I walk out the door.
