Chapter 46 Make a Run for It
1470words
I could feel my wolf surfacing in fury at the sight of my guard, Asher, on his knees begging for forgiveness. I glanced at the silver knife that sat on my desk; I had been looking forward to using it for some time now. Sheer fear clung to his face—I wasn't sure why he was so nervous. Sure, mistakes had to be paid for, especially after the near-death of my mate, but when I had walked into my bedroom, he was still defending her. Regardless, he was doing a pathetic job at it. I reached down and took his rigid face in my hand, squeezing it tightly. He struggled to keep his eyes fixed on mine; they were darting left and right around the room, so I squeezed even tighter, annoyed by how weak he was. I recognized that with one slight push, I could have snapped his neck.
Sophia's voice startled me through the mind link, "Jax! Hurry! She's awake." I carefully loosened my grip on the guard's face, noticing the purple marks that had formed. "Your performance against that rogue was inadequate for Midnight Moon standards, but it seems that today happens to be your lucky day because Adeline is awake. You will be subject to additional training shifts for the next two weeks," I sneered at him. He was gasping for air, trying to regain control of his breathing.
"Yes, Alpha. Thank you for your mercy, Alpha. I'm sorry I let you down, Alpha," he spat out in a raspy voice. I glanced down at him one last time and squinted my eyes. "And Asher, remember that next time I won't have such mercy."
I urgently trudged toward the door, desperate to see my mate. I had left Asher in my office on his knees to see himself out. I could feel Adeline's presence as I moved closer to my bedroom door, but something about her felt different. It was as if she already knew I was coming because her eyes were fixed on the door, waiting for someone to come in. I ordered everyone out of the room—I needed to make sure Adeline was okay. When I asked her if she was truly alright, it was adorable how she threw her arms up and said, "I feel amazing! See!" I loved how playful she could be when she decided to show that part of her personality that was bigger than life.
I knew she had to rest—she had been through a lot over the last few hours. I wondered if it was more than her little body could handle. I hadn't expected her to want to get out of bed until at least the morning. I was genuinely surprised when she asked me to go for a run with her and her wolf. We hadn't run together yet; it was something my wolf and I were equally excited and nervous about. I tried to hold firm in my decision that it was too soon for her to get out of bed, fearing she would strain herself, but I felt her persistence come at me in dominant waves, making it impossible to say no. Particularly when she shot those captivating Arctic blue eyes into the cutest puppy dog look I had ever seen, practically melting my heart.
"Fine, but only a short run. Understood?" I said, pulling her arm toward me to stand. I was careful to keep another arm around her in case her ambition got the best of her and she fell back onto the bed. My eyes nearly popped out of my head as she stood up and ripped the IV painlessly from her arm.
"Why did you do that?! I was going to call for the doctor to do his job!" I lectured profusely. She rolled her eyes at me, and a small smile crept onto her face. "Stop cradling me. Nothing happened. It was just an IV drip! No harm, no foul, ALPHA."
I cocked my eyebrow in amusement at the way she called me Alpha. "Did you just... taunt me, little mate?" She sighed deeply, clearly enjoying the little dramatic production she was putting on. "Maybe. I. Did." She paused between her words, sending death glares into my eyes. Her disobedience was causing my pants to tighten. I debated throwing her down and thrusting my hardness right into her pussy right there. I wasn't sure what the doctor had given her in that IV drip to make her this high on drugs, but she had woken up overly bold and quite fearless. She turned on her heels and strolled toward the walk-in closet, pausing in the doorframe and glanced over her shoulder, biting her bottom lip.
Unable to control my next move as I felt all hell break loose inside me, I took long strides toward her and pushed her against the wall inside the closet. I held her arms over her head and pressed my head into the crook of her neck, taking a deep breath of her scent right over my mark. Her aroma engulfed my senses; I craved even the smallest taste of her. I kissed her neck thoroughly, ensuring no area was untouched until my lips wrapped over the mark and I sucked roughly, leaving a purple love bite. She released the most sensual moan, pushing me further. With the little restraint I had, I whispered over her lips, "Watch how you speak to your Alpha, little mate," and released her from my hold.
I could see she fought her body not to collapse, using her legs to push her back against the wall for support. She let out a small whimper and took a deep breath while I returned to sit on the chair beside our bed. I noticed how briskly the pack and Beta Don had worked to put the room back together; I was impressed that it looked like nothing had happened within these four walls.
She came out of the walk-in closet wearing nothing but a black strapless bra that made her tits nearly bulge out of it. My gaze locked on her smooth body as she bent over to put on a pair of black spandex shorts, exposing her tight pussy to me. I sank further into the chair, trying to calm my erect hardness. As she slowly put her leg into the shorts, she cocked her head back at me, her eyes roaming me up and down with intent. I smirked at my little mate's teasing. I thought to myself, two can play this game, and dipped my hands into my gray sweatpants, jerking out my hardness. Her eyes widened at my reaction as I stayed seated and rubbed my shaft in upward and downward strokes. She slipped her other leg into the shorts but instead of pulling them up around her waist, she bent further forward and stuck her hand between her legs.
My wolf was becoming highly flustered while we watched her little fingers push in and out through the wet folds of her glistening pussy. I could smell the wetness of her arousal, and I was starving to taste it in my mouth. My grip tightened around my hard cock as I jerked up and down with vengeance at the sight of Adeline toying with her clit. She had become my new favorite thing to watch. She carefully dipped her middle finger into her small hole. I could feel a pearl of my precome spilling from the head of my hard shaft. She slowly pulled her finger out, knowing I was so fucking close to my release, and pulled her shorts up over her lips. She strolled over to me, my hardness still in my hands, and pushed her wet finger into my mouth. I sucked her finger, my tongue cleaning every last drop and lightly bit it, causing her to shiver.
"So, Alpha, I think it's time for that run now. Don't you think?" Adeline taunted and turned back to a white fitted t-shirt that she had previously pulled out of the closet with her back facing me. I continued to stroke my long shaft a few more times as I admired her delicious ass in those black spandex shorts. They hugged her hips so flawlessly that they looked like they could've been painted on.
When she was settled with the white t-shirt securely on her body, she turned back and beamed a look of complete satisfaction as her eyes locked onto my hand still firmly on my hardness. "New clothes?" I taunted.
"Yeah, Sophia had them sent in for me. I needed something to wear after all," she giggled as she tied her hair into a tight high ponytail.
I securely placed my cock back into my sweatpants as if nothing had happened. "Shall we?"
