Chapter 50: Chapter forty-nine

“You don’t go up against the moon goddess and live,” Ajax commented.

The dark witches crowded around Ramona’s body. I caught a glimpse at her chard body. I swallowed the lump in my throat because I knew the ball of light that escaped me did that.

“Come on, Delanie,” Ajax said, helping me up.

He was naked and I was too scared to see the extend of the damage I’d done this time. My palms were sweaty and my limps trembled.

“Look what you’ve done!” Talia yelled.

Ajax stood between us. He grabbed her arms to stop her from moving forward.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to—” I started but Ajax cut me off.

“You don’t need to be sorry. Ramona fed you poison. If it wasn’t for your magic you’d be dead and so would I.”

“Pig!” Talia spat.

“Call me all the names in the book but Ramona was a crazy bitch. You don’t go against the moon goddess and live. What the hell did she want anyway?”

Talia ripped her arms free from Ajax’s grip. “None of your fucking business!”

“Fine, let’s go baby,” Ajax, said, closing my hand in his fist.

There wasn’t any hysterical screaming or crying. The team of dark witches surrounded the charred woman’s body and held hands. My blood ran cold.

“What are they doing?” I asked.

“Draining her power. Ramona was a powerful witch. They’re not going to let her power go to waste. I’m sure more than one of them are happy she’s gone.”

Ajax limped his way outside. My heart raced with each step he made. I’d die if I lost him. What would I do? His breathing was rugged and his movements were stiff.

He lowered to the ground and panic wrapped around my throat.

“A-Ajax?”

“Relax, babe. I need you to get on my back.”

“What? Are you insane!”

“You said you’ve always wanted to do it.”

“Not while you’re hurt.”

“Please, Del, trust me.”

I nodded. “I trust you.”

Ajax transformed into a massive black wolf. He sniffled and motioned at his back. I inched closer and ran my hand through his smooth black coat. His went nose rubbed against my hand. His cool eyes eased my nerves.

“Here we go. Don’t drop me,” I said.

He sneezed and shook his head as if to say he’d never. I climbed on his back and lay forward, fisting his fur. When he knew I was secure Ajax darted off. He ran on the open road as if he wasn’t injured and in pain moments again. He veered off the road and ran through a few skinny trees.

He stopped to howl at the moon.

Was that necessary?

Apparently it was because he stopped a few times to do it. I guess it was a werewolf thing I’d never understand. Ajax slowed down the as we neared a vast body of water. I climbed off him and ran a hand through my hair.

Ajax shifted back and remained sprawled on the ground. I hurried over to him with a pounding heart. He smiled, reached out and brushed hair out of my face.

“It was dumb of me to ask for help from a dark witch, huh?”

I chuckled. “You came from a good place.”

I searched his wound for the first time. I looked for where I hit him. I caught him on his wounded shoulder but the black spot had been dented. It was like paint chipping off. I brushed it slightly.

Ajax grunted. “What are you doing?”

“It’s coming off…” I trailed as I continued brushing the black stuff off his skin.

This wasn’t possible we tried everything it wasn’t just going to fall off like this.

I was so concentrated on getting it all off I climbed on Ajax and straddled him.

“I’m not going to object to this,” Ajax said, caressing my thighs.

I glared at him before going back to rubbing the black stuff off. It was like ash falling off. Ajax groaned as I worked. I got most of it off but a large part on his arm remained.

“I think that’s all. Maybe the destruction magic countered itself when I hit you.”

“I hope so. Because I don’t want to leave you, Delanie.”

I felt his member begin to swell. I looked around it was dark and private. The thought of making love out here was thrilling but risky. Ajax’s hand fondled my butt under my dress. He shut his eyes and groaned. The sound of the lake pushing and pulling behind us filled the void.

“Are you up for it?” I asked softly.

“Always, princess.”

His member was as hard as steel. It pressed into my thigh, demanding sweet relief. My underwear was soaked and my clit was throbbing. I was ready but nervous about taking the lead on this one. Ajax gently tugged my underwear down. His eyes were shut but he knew my body better than me.

“You’re so good,” he groaned as his member slipped between my soaking walls.

I bit my lip to hold in my cry.

“Come on, Delanie,” Ajax urged.

I was trying to be gentle but Ajax raised his hips to thrust his member into me. He was impatient. I bounced on his member faster. I planted my hands on his abdomen to steady myself.

“Ugh, yes, you’re amazing.”

“You sound better,” I said breathlessly.

“You’re my miracle cure,” he replied.

My pleasure began to rise and a foreign scent seeped into the night atmosphere. It was nothing like I’d ever smelt before but it was intoxicating. I needed more of the unknown scent.

Ajax gripped my hips and slammed me against him, burying himself deep inside me. He pulled me down and crashed his lips against mine in a fiery and hungry kiss. We orgasmed at the same time. My walls tightened around him as he emptied his load inside me. I crashed into him, panting and partially seeing stars.

“You feel that?” Ajax asked after a minute.

“Feel what?” I rasped.

He wrapped his left arm around my waist and the other dug into my hair.

“The power in the air. We created a power surge.”

“How did we do that?” I’d never heard of a power surge before.

He chuckled and removed his hand from my hair. I sat up so we were facing each other but I was still straddling him.

“A power surge only happens when you powerful shifters have sex. Their power’s emitted into the air when other wolves are around they absorb that power. It makes them stronger.”

“You know I’m not a shifter. I’m not special.”

“You may not be a shifter, but you are special Delanie. You may feel bad about hurting me but if you hadn’t done it I would have been barbeque.”

“It’s not funny,” I giggled. “So is that what I smell?”

He nodded. “That’s the power in the air. It only makes me want to have you more.”

I swallowed. “More?”

“Much more.” His wolf flashed in his eyes and blushed. If he was feeling better, he was going to pound me senseless and I wouldn’t be able to work well later.

“What did you do with Ross?” I asked as we arrived at the motel.

“He stayed in town as my backup. Knowing Ross, he probably ended up with a couple girls in his room.”

Our motel room was exactly how we left it. We’d accomplished what we came here for and caused a little trouble but there was no reason to stay.

“What time do you want to leave?” I asked.

“Right now. I have to deal with the Diamond pack issue now.”

I nodded. He still had a bit of the black scar but it was slowly fading. Arabella would have to check him out again to be sure.

Pounding came from the door while Ajax was in the shower. Must be Ross, I thought. I opened the door without hesitation.

A man with crystal blue eyes, pink plump lips, dressed in leather boots, jacket and dark blue jeans waited on the other side.

He’s not Ross.

The man had a black beanie hiding some of his blonde hair.

“Delanie?” He asked.

“Uh…”

“Margot sent me to get you. No isn’t an option.”

My eyes nearly popped out of my head. “Margot? My Grandmother?”
