Chapter 23
Elijah still had some pack business to deal with so he took me to his office. The room was set up with a separate desk for me. The desk hadn't been here when he showed me around yesterday. I guess he must have set this up for me while I was meant to be at school. That made me feel even more guilty for sneaking out and upsetting him.
I was about to take my place at my new desk but he insisted on me bringing the laptop and chair over to his desk. He got me to set up my laptop then shared with me a whole bunch of information about the pack and the various businesses his family owned.
While I looked over all the information Elijah was replying to emails on pack business. I am sure that he would be done much faster if he typed with both his hands but he seemed very reluctant to let go of my hand. I guess he was still a little upset about me putting myself in a dangerous position earlier. It was a little extreme though, I wasn't going anywhere and typing one handedly is annoying as fuck.
I could also hear his thoughts more strongly now that our bond was growing stronger. I could hear his worries about the pack's safety after the attack earlier today and his plans for the pack's businesses.
Every so often his thoughts would wander to me. Although it was nice to hear him thinking such lovely thoughts it felt like a betrayal of his trust. I needed to work out how to block out his thoughts, like with how you can switch mindlink off when it wasn't needed.
"Is it that bad?" Elijah asked.
I looked up from my laptop screen to meet his eyes. I had stopped paying attention to the screen in front of me ages ago but I wasn't going to tell him that. He would probably want to know what I was thinking about. "No, it has just been a long day." I said. He glanced at his watch.
"I am sorry, I didn't realise it was so late. It has been a very busy day with the attack earlier, I promise that it isn't always going to be like this." He replied.
I could feel his worry though our bond as well as seeing his thoughts. He had never been in a relationship before, he wanted to make me happy but he was so worried about messing things up. Right now he was worrying that I would think he was boring and regret accepting him. I didn't like the direction his thoughts were heading in, I didn't realise that he was so insecure, I would have to fix that.
"I understand, it is important to keep the pack safe." I said.
He leaned forward and kissed me. He pulled me towards him, deepening our kiss. I could feel his desire through our bond which only made me want him more. "We should be careful, I can't let her miss too many meals. She could be carrying my baby very soon." He thought. He broke away from me, breathing heavily. "Dinner will be ready soon, we should probably head downstairs." He said.
He stood up and held out his hand towards me. I took it and let him lead me out of the room. He was wrong about me getting pregnant, I had a coil fitted a couple of years ago. I know a lot of werewolves leave birth control to their partners but I wasn't going to do that. It is unreliable and almost impossible once you experience your first heat with your mate around. I wasn't going to leave something as important as that up to chance.
I wanted to tell Elijah about it but I would have to wait for a time when it wouldn't be so obvious what I had just read his mind. That in itself was a bigger secret and it was one that I wanted to keep to myself until I could control it a little better. I am sure he would panic if he knew I could hear all of his deepest darkest thoughts.
When we got down to dinner the rest of Elijah's family were already there. His parents were talking to each other about plans for the upcoming party while Felix was sitting with his head in his hands. His head shot up when he heard us sit down at the table next to him.
"Is Ava ok?" Felix asked, the concern clear in his voice.
"She is fine, she is upset but she is ok." I said.
"I should go to her, comfort her." Felix said, standing up from the table.
"No, you need to give her space. If you go to her now then it will only make things worse." Elijah said, putting his hand on Felix's arm.
"What is going on here?" Their mom asked.
Felix sighed but he sat back down at the table. He began to explain the whole situation to their parents who quickly went from looking concerned to looking very disappointed.
As Elijah's parents were lecturing Felix about his actions Elijah's thoughts started to wander. He was weighing up options for how he would punish me later tonight. I needed to think of some way to block this out or everyone in the room would be able to smell my arousal.
'No chance, I want to know what he is thinking.' Onyx said.
Thoughts kept flashing through Elijah's head. Right now he was thinking about having me on my hands and knees on his bed, completely naked while he spanked me with a paddle. Spanking me until my ass was sore but I was completely desperate for his touch then taking me roughly from behind.
I clenched my thighs together.
"What do you think about that, Diana?" Elijah's mom asked.
"Sorry I was miles away." I said.
"Thinking about my English assignment." I quickly added.
"I was just saying that Elijah really wanted to announce you as his luna on Friday. Would you be ok with that?" She asked.

"Of course." I replied.
In Elijah's head, my hands and feet were tied to the bedposts of our bed while he placed soft kisses all over my body. I was fighting my restraints in frustration as I begged him to take me. Instead of giving me what I wanted he starts licking and nibbling on my nipples.
"That is great, then we can start planning your luna ceremony." His mom said.
"When is that going to be?" I asked, my voice shaking slightly.
In Elijah's mind he was licking slowly up my inner thigh as I whimpered and begged him to take mercy on me. He was thinking about how I would taste as he licked my clit.
I stuck another piece of food in my mouth to prevent myself from moaning. This meal was starting to feel like torture. I wanted to get out of here and let Elijah do some of the things in his mind in real life.
"I thought the first full moon after her graduation would be best." His mom said.
"I don't want to wait that long. She is already my luna and I want everyone to know it." Elijah said.
How the heck is he managing to talk so normally with all that stuff going on in his mind? "The earliest we can do it would be the next full moon." Elijah's dad responded. "Perfect." Elijah said.
'Just like you.' He told me through mindlink before leaning over and kissing me on the cheek.
