CHAPTER 51: GOT IT ALL BACK

Alana’s POV

For a while after the mess of a date that we had, everything was jumbled up in my head. I couldn’t separate my thoughts from my words, Axel's thoughts from his words, the voices around us, or even the voices in my head.

It had taken a full two days for Rox to quit her blabbering in my head. She practically forced her opinions on everything that had happened in my life since we got separated down my throat.

After talking about how handsome Axel was and how she counted on me to sleep with him every day, forever, she scolded me for every other thing that I could and couldn’t remember doing.

“You disappointed me,” she had said.

I sighed heavily because I knew she was just whining again. “How so, Rox?”

“I expected that the first time you saw Britney, as soon as you got your canines back, you jumped at her and took out half of that ostrich neck. She wouldn’t have dared to cross us ever again.”

“She would have been dead, Rox.”

“Yeah. I meant in her next life if she got any.”

Her snickering didn’t stop for more than two seconds. It was maddening.

“Alana,” Coral pulled me by my arm for the third time in the last ten minutes to take a right turn leading to the training area. Apparently, I had been going in all the wrong directions today. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Sorry, Coral, I got lost there for a minute.”

“More like an hour,” she laughed. “I was saying how lucky you were to fight those Marauders off without getting cut by their poisons. I don’t even want to think about how that might have gone. But you saved Axel, and we owe you forever.”

“I didn’t consider it an act to get anybody indebted to me. I just didn’t want to lose… I couldn’t lose him.”

“And you didn’t. Thanks to Rox,” she smiled at me as she geared up to train with some of the younger wolves. “So I think it’s only right that you resume training with us, yeah? We need to get Rox back in good shape. What do you think?”

“I’ll think about it.” In as much as I tried, fighting wasn’t my strength or area of specialty. The few

times I had come here with Coral, I ate and bathed in dust. For the longer part of the training session, I had my bum hitting the ground from constantly tripping over Coral’s spear.

“I’ll take that as a no.”

She wasn’t going to let it go if I didn’t stop her. “Coral, I walked you here as you requested. I have to go now.”

“To go and jump the Alpha’s bones right?”

“Goddess, I’m leaving, Coral.”

“Come on Alana, I thought we were friends. I haven’t been with a guy in weeks. Give me something. Please.”

It shouldn’t have been funny, but her downcast look when talking about her lack of sex got to me and I almost doubled over in laughter.

“Fine. Let’s just say I can’t get myself to stop,” I shrugged.

And I couldn’t. I honestly couldn’t. We came down to the pack from the hillside almost immediately after we fended off the attack on our end. Axel limped to the car and grunted the entire way back,

stubbornly refusing to wait for treatment to arrive. As soon as the healer drained the poison from Axel, the dust settled and we were back in our room, let’s just say that EVERYONE knew we were back.

Coral squirmed and wriggled, and laughed, and I bid her goodbye.

The walk from the training area to the main building took far less time than it would have taken for me to normally get there.

Since I got Rox back, I got everything I lost back in folds. The strength in my bones, my enhanced sight, my flawless hearing, my speed, and everything else.

I half expected Rox to be weaker when I got her back due to the long period of dormancy but she turned out to be much bigger and stronger than she first was. Her fur was shiner, longer, and thicker. Paws, firmer and sharper.

With a few hi’s and hello’s, I made it to the empty living room and kitchen in no time. I grinned giddily when my nose quickly picked up the warm, earthy, and slightly sweet aroma of Axel. It was so thick and enticing that I could almost taste it now. I knew exactly where he was.

I breezed past our room without opening the doors and made it to the opposite end of the floor to Axel’s office where his door was left slightly open.

“Come in, Princess,” Axel’s thick, low, and sultry voice called from inside right before I knocked.

Goddess, this man was so so fine. It was like I was seeing him in a different light.

He sat behind the table in an unbuttoned shirt that revealed rock-solid chest muscle, pumping blood around his core, bronzed as a medal, with his hands stretched over piles of paperwork.

His ungodly shiny hair was dancing in front of his flawless face, covering his apex predatory eyes that were narrowed down on me. I felt my skin heating up.

I stood in front of the table admiring Axel and probably drooling a little. Thankfully, I stopped gawking like a teenage crush and found my voice.

“Someone has been busy,”

He chuckled, sending butterflies fluttering over my skin. “Since we’ve been gone for a while, there’s been loads of work to do. And I was close to the nursery earlier. You seemed pretty occupied, I didn’t want to intrude. What have you been up to?”

He pushed his chair backward and motioned for me to sit on his lap, which I was more than happy to do.

“The nursery has been filled with kids today. I think the moms are no longer scared that I’ll somehow give the pups wolfsbane instead of milk since I kind of saved your life,” I shrugged for most of the last part, reveling in my glory.

“I remember every moment of it, Alana. You were so hot. So angry and Very. Very. Sexy. Hell, I get so hard when I think about it. And trust me, Princess, I've really thought about it.”

He dropped the pen slowly and found the back of my neck with one hand, and my already heated thighs with the other.

I forgot about every other thing that I wanted to say.

What was that about reveling in my glory? Because now, I was swallowing shakily at his words.
