Chapter 33
My fear turns out to be true when Arthur found out everyone was attacked by a large group of rogues when they were returning to the pack.
This is the only news which we have got and it has been two hours since then we are just waiting for them.
Arthur has sent more warriors for their help and I can see it is not easy for him to be here when he knows Donovon and others might be in danger. But he can’t leave the pack like this, he is responsible for the security of the pack.
On the other hand, Julia is behaving like a true Luna completely in control of her emotions helping Arthur in dealing with the situation. However, there are moments when her composure slips but then Arthur gives her the strength which she needs.
They work as a team, handling everything in the best way possible.
While I am trying to be strong but silence from our bond is driving me insane. Julia said I am feeling like this because it has not been long since Donovon and I have mated. The need to be near our mates is much stronger in earlier days as our mate bond is just developing.
The feeling of being helpless is making difficult for me to breathe. With each breath, the heaviness on my heart increases. Wiping my tears I decided to keep myself occupied to stop negative thoughts invading my mind.
Walking outside my room, I thought to join everyone in the living room as I have been holed up in my room for so long. But when my eyes move to the main door, I completely break down when I watch Donovon walking inside.
Running to him, I hug him and start sobbing loudly letting go of all the tears which I have been trying to hold for the past few hours.
“You are here.” Closing my eyes, I inhale his scent trying to assure myself he is really here, “When I couldn’t feel you I thought I have lost you...”
I haven’t told this to anyone that I was not feeling our bond... it was like our bond has been broken.
“Don’t cry.” Donovon whispers and kisses my hair, “I am here with you.”
“Shhh... calm down.” He hugs me while gently rocking, “I love you...” He keeps on whispering in my ear.
After a few moments, I release him and wipe my face with my hand while sniffling.
Julia smiles with tear-filled eyes as she next hugs Donovon.
“You got us so much worried.” She holds his face, “I feel like locking you in the dark bathroom for troubling us.” She laughs and wipes her tears which escaped from her eyes.
Donovon lightly chuckles and relief washes over me hearing his laugh.
He steps away from everyone and grabs my hand pulling me towards him.
“Thank you.” He wraps his arm around my shoulder and gently pecks my lip, “Dad told me everything.”
“If it weren’t of the backup, I think we could not have been able to fight them off. Honestly, at one point I felt we will not be able to make it.” He sighs, “We were outnumbered... there were just three of us and they were more than twenty.”
He lightly shakes his head as if he is clearing his mind then he turns to me.
“How did you find out?” He asks slightly curious.
“I don’t know.” I shrug, “I just felt that you are in some problem and you needed me.”
“Really?” Suprise passes through his features.
“Yeah.” Nodding my head, I hold his hand, “I don’t want to go through something like that ever again.”
That feeling of knowing that your mate needs you and you can't do anything is the worst emotion I have ever gone through. And I don't want to experience this again in my life.
“I am never allowing you to leave me.” I shake my head, “Wherever you are going, you are going to take me with you.”
“I am serious, Donovon.” I glare at him when he attempts to hide his smile.
“Okay.” He nods his head while amusement is clear in his eyes.
Then slipping his arm around my waist, without any warning, he picks me up and starts walking while I feel like a rag doll dangling off his arm.
“Since you ordered me to take you everywhere I am going.” He smiles mischievously, “So we are going to take a shower.”
“I didn’t mean like that.” My face turns red.
“Oh, but I surely mean like that.” He winks.
"Stop staring at me." Donovon opens his eyes and glances at me."I will not." I shake my head in no, "My eyes, my mate. I can do anything that I will like." I shrug and resting on my elbow I continue to stare at him, "You can't stop me."
"Yeah?" He arches an eyebrow, "Then even I can do anything with you which I like, my mate?"
Okay, I think it is time to get away from him because I am not liking that smile on his face.
Before I can do anything he starts tickling me while holding me. I laugh as I try to stop him but he doesn't stop.
"Stop... otherwise, I will call my Wolfie," I say between laughter while trying to get away from him.
"Aren't you cute?" He says in a mocking tone, and flicks my nose, "Have you forgotten that I am your Donovon and even I am your Wolfie?" He kisses my cheek and then licks it.
"Gross!" I rub my cheek, scrunching up my face in disgust.
"Gross, huh?" He laughs, "But I haven't seen you complaining when Wolfie do this?"
"Are you jealous of my Wolfie, Donovon?" I ask jokingly and push him away.
A small pout comes on his face but he doesn't answer making my eyes widen in surprise
"Oh. My. God!" I grin and straddle him, "You are jealous of your own wolf."
"Shut up, Ivory." He throws his arm over his eyes as his cheeks slightly darken.
"Donovon." I smile at his cuteness, "I love you." Lying down on him, I kiss his cheek nearly squishing his face.
"Ivory." Removing my hand, he growls at me pushing my hand away.
"Yes?" I give him my most innocent look.
"You are so lucky, that I love you." Closing his eyes he groans loudly and wraps his arms around me.
"You don't need to tell me that I am lucky." Turning my head, I rest my ear over his heart listening to his steady and strong heartbeat, "Because I know I am lucky as Wolfie is my best friend." Biting my lip, I stop myself from laughing as he stiffens.
Then after a moment, his chest vibrates with laughter as he says something quickly under his breath.
"Your Wolfie and I, we both are lucky to have you as our best friend and mate." Holding my chin between his fingers, he lifts my face and kisses me.
