“Pppft” I shrug, “we're still making up, our friendship's been a bit under attack recently. But it's held up.”

I grin delighted for my friend, but my grin fades slowly looking into Aaron's face.

“What is it Aaron?”

He hesitates “...Freya, how much do you remember about your first shift? It's pretty common to forget parts of it... They took the cougar. The Coven took Liz, you know that, right? I don't know if we can get her back”

Although I knew already, it hits me hard. My brain had blocked that awful part out briefly. My tiredness, and the strain of the day breaks me all over again.

Chapter Thirty

Aaron's POV

I pull Freya's crying, shaking nakedness into me and hold her until her sobs quieten. I can feel how distressed she is, how much the day has put her through. As much as I'm upset for her, I can't get past how right it feels to hold her like this.

I gently rub circles on her back with my hand, murmuring promises of getting Liz back as she slowly calms. I fucking mean it – my girl's best friend and my beta's fated-mate – we have to get Liz back.

I'm surprised at how gruff my own voice sounds, telling her how proud I am of her, of the woman she's become.

A spark of anger for the life she's had goes through me when she looks at me with those big wide eyes and admits no-one's ever told her they were proud of her before. What kind of fucked up childhood did she have that no-one ever took the time to tell her they were proud of her?! And what about her fucking fiancée for that matter?! Ex-fiancée my wolf reminds me gleefully.

As I slowly rock the sniffling, hiccuping Freya to sleep I desperately suppress the desire to roll her over and fuck her, here and now, on the cold rocky floor of the cave, in the middle of the wilderness. I keep reminding myself how exhausted she is, just to stop from running my hands up and down her naked body.

My wolf is surprisingly quiet, and seems content just to be close. This is purely my human desire. I eye-roll to myself; it's something when my wolf is the rational and less animalistic one.

In the end, after contorting my body to avoid prodding her sleeping back with my uncomfortably stubborn erection, I fall into a light sleep beside her.

We both wake in the same instant, just as the dawn chorus starts. My hands encircle Freya's lithe waist. I run my fingers gently over her skin; it's like touching silk. My cock hardens just looking at the delicate goosebumps appearing on her arms and breasts as I touch her. Her gloriously pink nipples tighten as I tease them roughly. Freya might still be tired, but her body's responding to my touch.

I kiss down her jaw line, gently, then more roughly, claiming her mouth. My wolf growls. Mine. I flip her over, burying my face in her neck, resting her butt on my erection. I hear her gasp in surprise as my cock teases her slit, and she responds by arching her back, pushing herself harder against me. I'm surprised by how eager she seems.

"Do you really want this cock baby?" I'm teasing her, but it's a serious question. After all she's been through...

My breath speeds up in time with hers when her hand snakes behind her to take hold of my cock. I smile to myself as she teases me, she's not quite as innocent as she looks, my Freya.

My wolf can smell her arousal and it's driving him to the limit of what he can take. I feel my canines extending and have to yank my head back to stop from marking her beautiful neck.

Feeling me move away Freya pushes back hard against me and my tip slips into her tight pussy. She lets out a feathery moan and I can't restrain myself any-more. I can't be gentle, I need her too much.

I'm rough and demanding, I grab her hips, making her work hard against me. And she loves it. I pull her up onto all fours, and slide my dick further into her. Grabbing a handful of her beautiful red hair I make her hiss.

"Tell me you like it doggy Freya"

I wrap my arm around her hips and play with her slick clit, before I withdraw my dick completely leaving her gasping for me.

“Aaron...please” she pushes back against me “please... like this...harder”

But I'm not done teasing her yet. I roll her onto her back, pinning her under me, then work my way down her delicious body kissing her, nibbling her, claiming each and every bit as mine. I see her eyes widen as I dip my head to lick her pussy. I take my time feeling her climax building as she wriggles under me. Her breathing is hard, and harsh

“Please Aaron, I'm going to come”

“Not yet Freya,” I smack her bum firmly to get her attention before turning back to her exquisitely wet slit “I'm not done with you yet beautiful.”

She inhales sharply at the sting and for a moment I worry it's too much for her, but my kinky little Freya arches her pussy back up toward my face. I take my time, pausing just before she goes over the edge, then ramping it back up again.

Her hips buck under me, and when I think she really can't take any more I flip her back over up and thrust my dick into her in one fluid movement.
