Crossing Paths With The White Wolf
Chapter 42

Natalia POV

I've been having nightmares every night since we found the identity of the shifter. Some were memories, some were nightmares of what could happen if they caught up with us. Helios said that I would speak Gaelic some nights. He would hold me and let me cry. I could sometimes feel some jealousy through the mate bond, but he said nothing. I knew he understood and loved him more for the fact that he didn't resent the fact that I had loved before.

At Celeste's encouragement, I'd kicked up my training. The endorphins and feeling the new strength in my body really helped with the anxiety. Gonzalo and Evergreen had both confirmed through the meeting they had recorded that they were now aware that Ramon, Helios' black auction identity, and Helios were the same person. It was a good thing that the deed to the pack grounds was still going through the process of being changed into his and my name. We were safe for a little while longer, but I needed to be ready. I walked into the pack house in the evening and headed up to our room to shower and change. Danny was really happy with my progress. I had been getting a second work out each evening with Brenda when she wasn't on shift and I could feel all my muscles screaming for a hot bath. That woman took her training seriously. I loaded the bath with some essential oils and some bubble bath and went to grab some clothes for bed. I was taking off my pants to climb in when the bathroom door opened and I was pushed against the wall. My t**s pressed against the cool wall.

"I love it when I see you bending over. It makes me want to do things to that gorgeous a*s," Helios whispered in my ear as I felt one hand squeeze my a*s and the other went up to my b****t, tweaking the n****e. He knows how much I like that combination of pleasure and pain.

"I'm really sweaty. Let me clean myself," I groaned and then moaned as I felt him lick up my neck.

"You taste like flan and smell of passion fruit," he said as he pushed me harder into the wall. His hard c**k was poking at my behind through his jeans. He laced his fingers through mine and guided them to his bulge. "Look at what you do to me. Everything about you drives me mad with need. Your skin, your smell, your sweat and this a*s. I want to push myself inside you the moment I see you. Ezequiel begs me to pounce on you the moment this amazing a*s walks away from us," he said, and I couldn't help the moan that escaped my mouth as my p***y got wet at his words. Hestia was purring and moaning with me at the words our mate was saying. Need consumed me and I briefly wondered if he would want me with this intensity in a hundred years.

I heard the sound of a zipper and Helios' pants pooled at his feet. "I waited almost two thousand years for you. I could spend another five thousand loving you and it would still not be long enough." He groaned as I grabbed his hard c**k. He thrusted into my hand and I felt the hot tip of his c**k hit my a*s cheek. "Tell me you want me, Natalia. Tell me you want this c**k inside you," he begged. I pushed my a*s against him.

"I don't want you inside me," I said, and he stilled. I turned around in his arms and saw the pain in his eyes. I pushed him back a step before I moved around him. "Turn around," I ordered. He turned and though his face still showed hurt, he didn't say anything. He trusted me to continue. I could feel his love replace the hurt as he saw the lust in my eyes. I pushed him, so he was the one against the wall now and I dropped to my knees. His eyes widened. "I don't want you inside me yet, Helios. I want you in my mouth." I grabbed his hard velvet c**k and licked it from base to tip. I looked up into his eyes as I put the tip of his d**k in my mouth, twirling my tongue around the head. His eyes closed and he dropped his head back as his hips jerked forward slightly. I put his c**k in my mouth and bobbed my head up and down his length as I stroked the rest of his c**k with my hands.

"f**k Nat," he moaned as I added a little twist to my wrist and pushed him further into my mouth. Little by little, I swallowed more of his c**k until his d**k was pushing down my throat. His hand went to the back of my head as he started thrusting down my throat. I moaned as I felt his c**k stretch my throat and that only made his hips push faster, making my eyes water.

"Get up, mi amor," he said as he removed his hold on my head. I gave his c**k a good last suck before I stood. He turned me around. "Hands on the tub," he instructed roughly, and I did as I was told. He pushed himself between my legs and rubbed his wet d**k up and down my folds. "Tell me what you want. Tell me you want my c**k inside your tight wet p***y now."

"I want you inside me, Helios. I want your c**k to push inside my p***y over and over until I scre- Oh goddess," I screamed as he pushed inside me with a moan.

He gripped my hips deliciously hard and pulled out to the tip and back inside fast. He grunted and shifted my hips slightly and I began to moan as the new angle hit the right spot. The bathroom was filled with the sounds of flesh hitting flesh and our moans as he sped up. The faster he went, the more my breasts swayed until they began to hit the cool metal of the tub and the contrast of my heated t**s against the cool metal had me on the edge. I gripped the tub tight as my o****m ripped through me as I screamed his name. Helios stilled as he massaged my clit to prolong the o****m and continued to thrust again once the o****m stopped. I could feel his balls and d**k soaked with the juices of my o****m and it only seemed to spur him on faster. His arm went around my waist and down to my clit as he continued to thrust, while the other hand slapped my a*s sharply before rubbing the spot to soothe the sting. He gripped my hip again and thrusted in harder. I could feel his urgency now as he pushed deeper, harder. I was lost in the pleasure before he bent and whispered in my ear. "Scream for me, Nat." His words and his breath on my ear brought me to the edge and when he sucked on my mark, it sent me careening over the crest again and I screamed his name again as I felt my toes curl and my body hum. I heard Helios moan and stand as he pushed inside me a few more times before I felt his body still and I felt him releasing into me.

He pulled out, and I felt him kiss my a*s where his slap had hit me before he picked me up and lowered us into the tub. We said nothing as we allowed our breathing to return to normal. I laid back on his chest and relaxed as I listened to his beautiful heart beat. He kissed the side of my forehead sweetly and said, "Thank you."

I turned my head to look at him, "For what?"

"For letting me love you, despite everything you have been through."

I felt the tears fall down my cheeks as I pulled up slightly and kissed him, "Thank you for not giving up, despite everything I said and put you through."

We stayed in the tub until the water started cooling. Helios washed my body before I washed him. We got out of the tub and he pulled the plug while I dried my body. I went to grab my pajamas to get ready for bed before he stopped me. "What are you doing?" He asked.

I turned to him, confused. "Getting ready for bed. What are you doing?"

He gave me a predatory look and said, "We aren't done yet, mi vida. That was just the appetizer." I felt the jolt of desire pool at my core and licked my lips as I watched him dry his body and take two steps to me. He picked me up and carried me to the bedroom, where he worshipped my body until I fell asleep cradled in his arms, relaxed, satisfied and thoroughly loved.

Helios P O V

After making love to Nat for hours, we finally fell asleep. I woke up a few hours later when I felt her fear through the mate bond. She wasn't speaking in Gaelic, so I knew this was probably a normal nightmare, not reliving a past one. I untangled myself from her luscious body to check my phone. It was only 4 am. I sighed as I put my phone back on the nightstand and pulled her back into my arms. Trying to soothe the bad dream away. Ezequiel was no help. He just whimpered non-stop. I rubbed her arms and kissed her mark and she slowly calmed down.

I didn't like how badly this man affected her. Even after knowing what his ancestors did, I wished I could somehow take this pain from her. I could tell there was more than just fear underneath everything. Ezequiel had talked to Hestia and told me they felt it was somehow their fault. Something in their gut was telling them that this was all because of her. I didn't have answers and I wished I did, but no matter this a*****e's motivations, his actions were his own. He would have to face them all one day, just like I do. Every day I wake up, I carry all the deaths in my soul, and just hope to do better, so I can honor their deaths since they couldn't live their lives.

I threw my leg over hers, pulling her closer. It was my favorite way to sleep, every part of me touching her. Even the first days, when I tried not to crowd her, I'd always wake up a mess of limbs over hers. She told me she didn't mind, so I stopped fighting it. I had slept alone for too long. I wanted to feel her next to me for the rest of my immortal life. I just needed to get rid of one a*****e. Cut the head of the snake.

I mind linked Theo to meet me after his patrol shift and tried to go back to sleep, but around 5 am I felt a change in the air.

'Intruders at the gate,' Theo mind linked. I could hear the worry in his voice.

I untangled myself and shook Natalia awake as I pulled some shorts on. "We've got company. I need to go check it out." I said as I kissed her sleepy face.

"I'll be down in a moment. I need clothes," she said, getting up.

I started walking down the stairs when Theo mind linked me again. The panic and urgency in his voice made me speed up. 'Lock down the packhouse. They've crashed through the gate!' I jumped over the rail of the last floor and pushed one of the panic buttons Evergreen's security team had installed. I heard the metal shutters begin to lower. It should also be sending automated messages to all of my warriors and their mates on their phones, letting them know we are fighting and for the women that can't fight, to take shelter in the basement.

I began walking towards the door when I saw Sebastian running down the stairs toward me.

"Helios?" I heard Nat's voice from the stairs but she was too far up.

"Stay there. We've got intruders," I told her.

"Like hell." she said, and I could hear her steps speed up.

'Intruders in pack grounds. Meet us outside. No one attacks us on our own land,' I sent a pack wide link as I got to the door. I opened the door as a number of SUVs were speeding towards us. I paused as I watched Theo's wolf jump over the last one before I heard the loud sound of a rocket escaping the barrel of the launcher and I watched as it sped towards us. I grabbed Sebastian and pushed him to the right as the rocket hit the left side of the packhouse. I feel the blast propel us forward and I lose my grip on him. I feel something hit my side and everything goes black as my head hits the ground.
