Wolf Bond

I can't help but stare at his magnificent form in awe. His thick grey coat seems to look darker and shiner and the Alpha aura radiating off of him in strong waves are almost sending shivers down my spine.

Leaning forward he licks my cheek while a soft purr rumbles from his chest, then he buries his muzzle in my hair while inhaling deeply.

“Wolfie... my Wolfie.” I ruffle his fur and lean against his body as he curls up beside me encasing me in his warmth, his frame slightly trembling. “I am so happy to get you back my wolf.” Sighing contently I close my eyes. Then abruptly my eyes snap open as I sit straight and turn to look at him.

“So, does this means you have broken the cast?” Happiness bubbles inside my heart by the prospect of him being freed from the spell. Although I am aware that the cast placed on him can only be removed with the death of that person or either if they remove it themselves. But still, I am hoping that maybe by some miracle he has managed to break it.

However, my happiness dies down a little when instead of replying Wolfie rubs his cheek against the side of my face like he is comforting me while a soft whine escapes from him. I have figured what his silence means, that the cast is still there.

“You are so strong, Wolfie.” I hug him, letting him know how much his efforts are appreciated, “You are fighting against this spell so bravely. I promise I will not rest until I have freed you from this spell and we will make them pay.” The anger which I was trying to suppress hits me back again with full force as a growl passes through my lips which even startles him as he leans away to look at my face and something flickers in his eyes but I can't comprehend what it was.

He glances at me then bending his head forward rubs his muzzle against the side of my face. His soft purs reaching my ear makes me relax a bit and closing my eyes rest against him.

However, one thing which is bothering me that he is constantly trembling.

“Why are you shaking, Wolfie?” I ask softly, “Are you in pain?”

"I am trying not to shift back." His voice comes out strained as if he is using every ounce of his energy to stay in his wolf form. ”I want to stay with you for some more time."

“It’s okay, you are always with me.” Swallowing my emotion, I smile at him because even though I am happy that he got his wolf back but I can't see him in pain, “You don’t have to cause yourself pain, you can shift back.”

"I want to meet my pup." The longing behind his words break my heart as he has never met Ella in his wolf form, and I know even Ella’s wolf demands to meet him.

“You will meet her soon.” I kiss his muzzle blinking back my tears.

However, even before he can answer his body starts shaking violently and he quickly steps away from me. He forcefully shifts back and a moment later Donovon appears looking pale and weak.

Quickly, grabbing a throw blanket from the chair nearby I rush to him cover his slightly shaking frame.

“Are you okay?” I look at him in concern, “Are you feeling cold?” I cup his face as my eyes roam around his face noticing how his skin has lost its color while there are shadows under his eyes that look foreign on his face.

“You know there are other ways to warm me up, ways that are more interesting and enjoyable.” He teases with a smirk, trying to lighten my worry which works as I can’t help but roll my eyes at him as my cheeks flushed.

“Do you ever think about anything else?” I shake my head at him and close my eye when he presses his lips against my forehead like he is drawing strength from my presence.

“Can you blame me?” He arches an eyebrow, “If it is in my power I would always keep you locked in my arms.”

My cheeks heat up even more which I tried to hide by glancing down, but fail miserably when I hear his amused chuckle as he brushes his thumb over my cheek.

“You are cute.” He kisses my cheek then wrapping his arms around me he pulls me towards himself which makes me yelps as I try to push him away.

“Donovon, you are naked.” I attempt to get away from him but he tightens his hold.

“So, what?” He shrugs with a playful smile. “Soon you will be too."

My eyes become the size of saucers while a horrified expression takes over my face at his shamelessness.

It doesn’t take long for him to burst out laughing looking at my expression.

“Relax, I am joking.” He chuckles then his expression turns serious, “Or maybe not.” He adds after a pause.

However, my heart fills with concern when he winces as he attempts to stand up. Concealing his pain, he stands up and gathers his clothes, and gets dressed.

"Is this what you were hiding from me?" I ask when he sits on one of the mismatched chairs.

"It is a part of it." He nods his head, "Storm and I have managed to weaken the curse, but it is still there. However, now, it is not as strong as before. This is the first time I was able to shift after the spell, but it took almost all my energy to keep myself in my wolf form." He sighs looking tired while rubbing his hand on his face.

"But it's all worth it." A content smile spreads across his face as he glances at me, "Your smile... the way your entire face brightened when you met your wolf, in front of that every other pain is so small that I don't regret anything." His eyes showing he means everything which he has said.

His confession swells my heart with love... It is strange how someone walks into your life and your heart recognizes them as your soulmate and then there is nothing you wouldn't do for them. Even if it means to bear the hurt and pain for them. If I was in his place even I would have done the same. I can do everything in my power so that he can have what he desires.

"I love you, now and always." These words flow out of my mouth naturally, even though I know these words can't do justice to the feeling which I carry in my heart for him, but these words will give him the strength to keep fighting and never lose hope no matter how difficult things will become.
