Moon Bound

Marisol

Seeing Benjamin sitting up in the hospital bed with Izumi in his lap after witnessing him get hurt earlier today is exactly what I needed to see.

I rush over to them and throw myself on Benjamin’s hospital bed.

Their arms are open for me as I jump into them.

I heard Judah grumble about me being in bed with another wolf, but I ignore him. What is important to me right is that Benjamin is okay.

"How are you feeling?" I asked as I pulled out of the hug.

Benjamin laughed a little bit. "I am fine, just a little tired."

Izumi begins to tear up a little bit before throwing herself in his arms to cry. "I thought I lost you." She choked out.

"Never." He squeezed her tight to him.

Judah gently grabs my arm and lifts me off of Benjamin’s hospital bed.

"I am glad to see that you are alright. Are you ready to speak on what you saw?" Judah asks.

I sigh. As much as I want to tell Judah to just let Benjamin relax this is urgent.

Benjamin nodded. "There was a lot, but there was not enough at the same time. They plan to attack Alpha Wren's pack once again. They want to wipe out his entire pack this time, and I know that they have the ability to do so.”

Judah let’s go of me before turning away.

I can feel his wolf fighting for control. He clenches his fist, as his wolf tries to force a shift.

“Judah.” I say before placing my hand on his back. I turn back to Benjamin. “We can send more warriors to Alpha Wren’s pack right? That should give them the advantage. It will help keep them safe?” I ask.

“Yes.” Judah answers. “The only reason they were able to do as much damage as they did the first time was because Wren’s pack wasn’t prepared. It will not happen again. Scarlet has helped and there are some places around the park that will disable their magic. If they end up in some of those places we will be able to capture and interrogate them. No other pups will be hurt because we are ready for them.”

The confidence in my mate’s voice was the reassurance that I needed. It chases away the fears that I had for those who live within the pack lands.

“Is that all you saw Benjamin?” I asked.

“I didn’t see a lot, all I saw was them making the plan before she started to fight back. When she started to fight back, I went inside her mind in an attempt to shut her down. I don’t think it worked because I don’t remember much after that.”

I frowned, “That doesn’t matter, what matters is that you’re okay.”

“Yes, especially since Marisol’s coronation is tomorrow!” Izumi squealed out.

Benjamin pretended to gag. “You two are disgusting.”

Izumi rolled her eyes. “Well I think it’s romantic, and I’m glad that we will be able to watch it together.” She said before giving him a chaste kiss.

Benjamin nodded before smiling at me. “Izumi told me that you were quick to save me, and I just want to say thank you for that Marisol. You’ve always been amazing at healing magic.”

I felt my smile grow even bigger at his compliment. I truly am starting to become more confident in my abilities. I may not be able to do everything that Benjamin can, but I’m amazing at what I can do.

“I am glad that you will be able to make it as well.” I can’t help but be a little surprised at Judah’s statement. “There needs to be someone there that will keep her family in check.”

The one thing that slipped my mind, Judah’s need to see my family get punished.

I don’t even attempt to argue with him. I’ll just have them do community service, and their Alpha can decide what they do. James loves to volunteer and help others so maybe they will be able to do that together.

“Even if I wasn’t able to I know that Izumi would do it for me.” Benjamin said with a chuckle before kissing Izumi on the temple.

Time to change the subject.

“So you will be able to be to attend? Like it won’t hurt you to be there?” I ask Benjamin.

Benjamin chuckled at my question,. “It’s going to take more than one witch practicing blood magic to keep me down. Now the two of you go and get some rest, it’s been a long day for all of us.”

Judah let out a low growl, most likely because of Benjamin telling him what to do.

Even though we all jumped slightly from it we disregarded it and, I dragged Judah out of Benjamin’s room.

Judah followed my lead as I pulled him throughout the pack house.

“Why are you in such a rush to go home tonight Marisol? Is there something you would like to do once we get there?” He asked smugly.

I am once again praying to the moon goddess that he can’t read my thoughts.

The real reason I’m rushing him is because I can’t get the dream that I had last night out of my head.

The only time it escaped my mind completely is when Benjamin got hurt.

It seems like it has been an eternity since I’ve come to the realization that him and I were paired for a reason. The moon goddess would never have paired me with someone that I couldn’t be with fully.

I don’t want to hold back with Judah anymore. I want all of him, and for him to have all of me.

Our love, our markings, everything that we have to give.

"Yes, there is plenty that I want to do when we get home. I hope you aren't too tired, it has been a long day." I replied.

I didn't turn around, because then he would see the blush that was currently crawling up my cheeks.

We quickly made it back to our home. Judah scooped me up into his arms and carried me into our bedroom.

As soon as he placed me onto our bed all of the confidence that I was feeling flew out of the window. I look up to see him smirking down at me. He probably knows that, and he can see me closing back into my shell.

He slowly leans in, placing a hand on the mattress on each side of me, effectively caging me in. “What if it that you wanted to do Marisol?” He asked in almost a whisper.

Our eyes stay connected, as I try to find the courage to say what needs to be said.

Now is the time where I wish he could read my thoughts. I'm sure that he would have marked me by now if he truly could.

I reach up to cup his cheek. "I want you to mark me."

A look of confusion crosses his face.

Before he starts to protest I wrap my arms around his neck and press my lips against his. He immediately takes over the kiss.

she pushes me until my back hits the mattress, and covers my body with his own.

His teeth scrape against my lip, causing me to let out a moan. He quickly sweeps his tongue into my mouth, intertwining it with mine. This kills is better than any of the other kisses that we have shared.

He pulls away and I immediately begin to nip at the mark that I left on his neck. “I just want everyone to know that I belong to you Judah.” I state in between bites.

He lets out a groan before he collapses. Some of the weight of his body holds me down, as he keeps one forearm on the bed.

He squeezes my hip so tight, that I am sure that there will be a bruise tomorrow.

“That is why we are having the coronation tomorrow. Everyone will know that you are mine.” His breaths come out shaky, as he restrains himself.

I want to pout, but I am not giving up that easily.

I pull him closer to me, and lick him from the base of his shoulder to his jawline slowly.

He shudders when my tongue passes by his mark, but he continues to show restraint.

Not for long.

I place my mouth by his ear and slowly whisper, "You are aware that another male can claim me and place his mark on me."

I knew that I was going to get what I wanted when I felt his body tense against mine.

."You are mine." He growled out lowly as he pinned my body against his. His eyes were flashing from deep blue to amber gold, letting me know that his wolf was fighting him for control.

I let out a gasp as he grabbed the hair at the nape of my neck, before pulling it down exposing my neck to him.

“Show. Show everyone Who I. I belong to.” I stutter out as he began to run his nose up and down my neck.

Those words were enough to push him over the edge. I soon feel his canines press against the front of my throat. It is a dangerous place to mark your mate, and only the most possessive males mark their mates in this area.

I felt his breath against my throat as I waited for him to mark me. After a few heartbeats I realized that something was holding him back.

I wrap my fingers into his hair, "Do it. We are perfect for one another."

That seemed to be all he needed because I felt his teeth pierce the skin on the front of my throat.

I am now officially his, but I still want more.
