Chapter 27: Temper…

"Ah... Well, I'll give up this time, but I promise to make you fall for me, Lilith! Mark my words!" Cora's declaration irritated Fenris, who growled in response as she retreated.

It was not long before she disappeared from our sight. Fenris shifted back to his humanoid form as I shook my head at her words. She truly was unbelievable.

"You should be more careful," he mumbled grumpily.

His temper was showing. A natural thing for all Lycans. Though it was rarely directed at me.

"I'm sorry for bothering you," I whispered, gazing at Shade, who was having fun in the flowers.

It probably was an inconvenience for him to come all the way there to fetch me. He peered around us to make sure no one was around. Before, he grabbed me by my waist, pulling me into a surprise kiss.

For a moment, I felt my heart skip a beat. I tugged away from him, trying to steady my heart.

Someone might...

"You can't do this. Someone might see us here." I worried Cora might still be around.

Even if he checked, vampires were sneaky. Silent killers in most cases.

"There is no one here. And it doesn't matter if she's nearby. I'm annoyed. And honestly can't care any less if someone sees us." Fenris firmly declared.

I gasped when his hand went down into my stocking and underwear.

When did he pull my dress up?

He usually wasn't this aggressive.

"Why are you angry? Did I upset you?" I asked, wondering why he was irritated, but it just made him more annoyed.

It made him remember what happened in front of his face. With brief hesitation, he touched my most sensitive area with his fingertips. I grabbed onto his shirt for dear life.

"Because you belong to me. How dare you let someone else touch you?!?" Fenris chided me.

There was no resisting him. Trying to hold my voice in, I bit into my sleeve, only for him to tug me up to meet with another kiss. Even though it worried me that Cora might see us like this, he cared very little about it.

He was consumed with jealous rage. His touch made my legs give out, making me fall to my knees. Not hard though. He had caught me on the way down. Licking the fingers he used to play with me, he pushed me onto the ground.

Surrounded by flowers, he smirked a devilish, playful smile at me. This was torture. A sweet punishment just for me. One that I welcomed.

"This body's mine. So, don't you dare let anyone else touch you as I do!" Fenris made his claim on me, kissing me deeply again.

He trailed down my body, stopping to lick where his fingers had been. To prevent me from covering my voice, he clasped my hands at my sides. Though the sensation of his tongue sliding between my slits made me hum in pleasure.

There was no doubt in my mind he wanted Cora to know I was his. Not allowing myself to feel the fear that I should've had if they had found us out, I mewled loudly. Just like he wanted. He made my mind go blank like had done so many times before.

My body twitched when he retreated from my most sensitive area.

"You smell so sweet today. I wonder if you're ovulating. If I make love to you right now, would you bear my pup? I wonder." Fenris teased, leaving me flustered beyond my mind.

A Lycan's sense of smell was strong enough to smell the pheromones we women emitted when we were fertile. During these times, he would usually use protection whenever he touched me. Like he had the previous day.

But today it seemed he was angrier than usual to listen to his common sense. There were hybrids in every race. The races weren't all compatible with each other, but humans/witches/warlocks were compatible with everyone.

The offspring had the potential to use our type of magic if the human had the connection, as well as represent the different races that fathered or mothered it. Though it would be severely weaker compared to one of purebred.

It was why most races avoided mingling with humans. None of them wanted a witch or any kind of hybrid. Though sometimes they could have normal children.

"You can't," I warned Fenris, trying to catch my breath.

He wasn't thinking ahead of the moment that we were in, though. Lycans were so easily consumed by their temper. He was no exception, but this was the first time I saw him this angry. Usually, he would let things slip off.

"I can't?" Fenris questioned, inserting himself within me with no protection.

"You aren't allowed!" I gasped, feeling his full length in me.

He thrust himself within me with little concern for the repercussions we would both face. If I bore his child, it would only lead to more anguish. But it wasn't because I didn't want it. No, I wanted to bear his child more than anything.

But that would destroy his standing. Even what we did now could if it got out.

"Fuck that!" Fenris cursed, sending waves of pleasure through my body by pounding himself into me.

Having his child would be something I could only have in a dream. I didn't want to cause him any more trouble. So, I hoped I was ovulating from my damaged ovary this time. It was still functional, but only fifty percent of the time.

If I were, his seeds might not find an egg to fertilize. If it was from my undamaged ovary, then I didn't know what I would do in that case. There was no way I could hurt his child. Even if he wanted me to.

If you get pregnant, Lilith. Your child will have the power to rule this world. Shade whispered, watching us from where she was.

Fenris kissed me deeply, keeping me from thinking straight. Unable to hold back from his affections, I responded to them. He continued to thrust himself into me at a steady pace. Soon it became sloppy before exploding within me, filling me with bliss once again.

His groan rang in my ear, leaving me panting for air. I tried to bring myself into reality, to no avail. The euphoria that passed through Fenris calmed him down enough to realize what he did.

"Fuck! Lilith, I'm sorry." he was short of breath too.

Pulling away from me, I felt a space where he had been. Though he helped me up soon after. The entire event dazed me. His words still replayed in my head. I was happy to feel his warmth.

"It's okay. I'm okay." I whispered, slowly fixing my underwear and stocking.

At least he hadn't ripped them. Picking up the shoes he took off when he pulled everything off me. It was the first time he had ever done something like this. The entire thing was rather careless of him.

He knew I was his, and his alone, but if Layla found out. It would hurt her, and he would be in an amazing pitch of trouble. Feeling the weight of what he had potentially done to me, he fell to the ground.

I turned around, kneeling next to him, worried about him.

"Lily... If... If you're... If you get... I'll..." Fenris trailed off.

Shade hopped on his shoulder, stopping him from continuing.

"It's okay," I assured him, smiling.

Nothing that he ever did to me was bad. No, he always filled me with happiness. Seeing my smile, he pulled me into another kiss. It was warm as always.

"I'll protect you, no matter what. Even if…" he murmured, separating from me only for a moment before kissing me again.

It had been a while since he said those things to me. Even when we were alone. The last time was when I lost control. His hand traveled to my abdomen when he pulled away from my lips, gazing at it.

Such a silly, devoted wolf…

Grabbing onto his hand, I tugged it to my cheek.

"I know. It'll be fine." I smiled reassuringly.

This was enough for me. Moments like these were what would give me the strength to control my emotions. To the point, I didn't even need the luxorite bracelet anymore. Though Ryker and the council still demanded, I wore it.

They feared I would explode out of nowhere. I wasn't bothered by it, though. All I needed was to be with my wolf. I was happy to be held constantly by Fenris every night. Well, almost every night. The only time he would not hold me was when I bled.

It would be a five-day break to catch up on all the writing or research I had to do. For hours, we sat in the flower field in each other's company, hands intertwined. Every moment I spent with him strengthened my resolve to change.

Perhaps I could free him from my servitude one day. But when that time came. Would he stay by me?
