My kiss was forgiveness; it was acceptance. It was everything I couldn’t bear to say. Desire was a storm burning me up from the inside out as I reached between us for Fenrys’s zipper.
“Wait,” he groaned, pulling away. “I want you, Thalia. You’re my mate. Youarepart of my pack now. I’ll reintroduce you. Together, we’ll lead them, we’ll have this town, and some day soon we’ll have—” He stopped, his hands caressing up and down my bare thighs where my dress had ridden up. “We’ll have children.”
Tears sprung to my eyes. I couldn’t think about that, not yet. Not when I needed to come clean to the only man who I’d ever consider having children with. Especially now I knew he would want them too.
Fenrys’s smile turned sultry as his hands pushed my dress up further, exposing the lacy underwear I’d chosen for our date. His fingers slipped beneath the fabric, his skin lighting mine on fire. “I think my mate would look sexy carrying my children.”I couldn’t help myself from yanking the zip down on his shorts to expose his hard cock concealed by his boxer shorts.
I couldn’t suppress my moan as his other hand spread over my stomach. I thought of the bouts of nausea that kept overwhelming me, and considered: was it possible? We hadn’t used protection in the cave. He’d offered but I hadn’t wanted him to. It had been a carnal need to feel him so close, no longer separated by any barriers.
Would he know if I was pregnant before I did, sensing a change in my scent?
Was there a version of our ending where I didn’t have to go through with fulfilling Kato’s contract? What would Kato do if Iwaspregnant? I knew too much about his organization. I would either have to be in, or…
I kissed Fenrys, letting his roaming hands distract me as he explored beneath my dress, gripping my ass to pull me harder against him as he freed his cock.
I could tell him everything right now. He might even understand if I explained that I went to Kato when I was weak and hurt and how I knew now I could never do it. He could hate me, but there was a chance he might understand and still want me.
I thought about it.
But then two fingers traced my pussy through my thin underwear, and he would feel how wet I was. I needed him again. Whether I walked away or came clean, I wanted my mate.
“Fuck, one day, Thalia—one day, I’ll get to see you swollen with my children. Our family.
He groaned as he guided his cock against me but not pushing in, teasing me.
“Would you let me? Let me fill you up with our children—our cubs? My Luna, bred and pregnant.”
I moaned into his mouth, imagining it, even as the very dream felt too distant. We could have a future together, somehow.
He nuzzled into my neck, and I tipped my head back to give him further access. “Let me take care of you during the last trial, and then when I choose you as my winner and Graham declares it at the final banquet, there will be little drama from the other she-wolves.”
It was that plea that had me nodding my acceptance. I would stay; I would deceive Kato, win the Games, and then I would come clean and prove myself worthy to him, devoted and loyal. I apologize for my past decisions. And if he forgave me, I would beg for his protection from Kato. It was a loose plan but it was all I had. I needed to trust him, and hoped that he trusted me to know I didn’t want to harm him any longer.
Chapter 16 - Fenrys
The thought had consumed me all night: Thalia, round and pregnant. After we’d left the lounge, I had dropped her back at her hotel room. I’d offered her to stay in my room but she had said it was too risky with the rest of the she-wolves around. As much as I wanted her to sleep next to me in my bed, to know how it felt waking up to my mate, I let her go.
I showered and lay on my bed. I was going insane being so close to Thalia, only on the floor above her, but not being able to have her in my arms. After my shower, I let myself back onto my bed and checked my phone. I scrolled through the itinerary for the next trial, the order of the she-wolves that I would be paired with, with Thalia going first, and an indication of when I needed to declare my winner to Graham. He also reminded me to personally greet every guest at the banquet for the winner after the final trial, which would be held the day after. It was supposed to give any families from out of town to get to Silverlake Valley but I knew the only winner for me had her family all but down the road.
I had a message from my mother, wishing me luck for the final trial.
One arm tucked behind my head, I read a text from Conall. After we’d talked at the house the other day, he’d checked in more about how I was actually feeling rather than just sending taunts of who I’d pick. Tomorrow we were allowed a day off but I had already requested to Graham that the trial be moved forward. I wanted Thalia to win and be declared my mate officially as soon as possible. There was no point in waiting I knew she was already having problems with jealous she-wolves, and I worried that was part of her needing to escape for the night. Her friend had merely claimedgirl timebut Thalia hadn’t matched the casual tone her friend had given. I knew something was troubling her, even after my reassuring her both in the diner and the lounge.
The sooner the Games were over the better.
Call me ASAP,Conall’s text read.
Frowning, I called Conall. It was two in the morning, but I knew he’d answer my call day or night. Surprisingly, he didn’t sound like I had woken him up.
“Fenrys.”
“Conall, man. What’s up?”
“I didn’t want to alarm any of your she-wolves by coming to the hotel, but I need to talk to you.”
“Do you need me to come over there?” I was already sitting up.
“No, you’re needed there. But there’s been a… Discovery.”
