Chapter 31: Mating with Jake (Part 1)
Jake’s POV
“Tori? TORI!”
Upon seeing Tori collapse during training do I instantly rush for his side. Tori now cradled within my arms as I frantically move to look him over. The need to know if he was fine rising.
Vox pacing within me. ‘Mate. Mate!’
‘Relax Vox. Tori’s okay. At least I think he is’ I move to say back to him. Hoping to calm him down as Zak and Alex both move to stand next to me as they both worry for Tori as well.
“Is he okay?”
“What happened?”
“Not sure. I mean, he did look a little off this morning, but he simply said it was because he was tired. That’s all. I mean, if I knew this would happen I would have pushed him to stay in bed” I say, my hand now brushing against his forehead.
“Shit. He’s burning up”
“What?”
“What? You don’t think he’s….”
Pausing within that statement do I move to study Tori more carefully. A part of me now wishing that Tori had a scent to call his own. As wolves who typically went into heat normally had a different smell to them. A smell that said, come fuck me, I’m in heat and ready for your child. Yet with Tori, I didn’t have any of that.
Tori now whimpering as he moves to look at me with hooded eyes. Vox now antsy.
“Jake… it hurts. Please… make it stop.”
“What hurts Tori?”
“My body. I’m so hot. So very hot that I feel like I’m melting”
Upon hearing that do I instantly see a faint layer of sweat. Fuck… I think Tori’s going into heat. His body now ready to mate. A part of me now aware of what was happening as I move to look at Zak and Alex. My eyes on them even as Vox tries to push forward. The need to mark and claim Tori now rising.
“Zak, Alex. I need the both of you to close off the floor that leads to our room.”
“Um, why?”
“I think… I think Tori’s in active heat”
“What? Are you positive?” asks Alex.
“Yes I’m positive. His body is heating up. And fast. Plus, Vox wants out. He wants to mark Tori now. But I’m refraining because I need to get Tori back to our room first. Once there, will no one be allowed in until I’ve finally marked and mated with him. My Luna.” I say. My arms now lifting Tori into them slowly before moving to stand. Tori whimpering as I do.
“Easy little mate. I’ll make it better. Promise.”
Whimpering again do I move to shift slowly. My focus now on Alex and Zak. “Don’t you two feel it as well? Or is it just Vox who seems to be affected by Tori and the fact he’s in active heat?”
“I think it’s just you and Vox. Because Ash is totally fine other than being worried. He’s not pacing, nor does he feel like he needs to come forward” admits Zak, his voice unphased by this newfound information.
My eyes now on Alex. “Alex?”
“Same dude. Volt’s only concerned for Tori. Not pacing or anything.”
Groaning, I move to focus back on Tori. “Hang on Tori.” Shifting Tori again does Tori move to gasp. His warmth now adding to my own. Vox still trying to come forth.
“Jake….”
“Easy Tori. I have you. Once inside our room I’ll make sure to take good care of you, promise.” With that said do I move to nuzzle him slowly. A low purr rising within me as I move to kiss him upon the forehead.
Tori now at the mercy of his body. A body that I got to ravish until his heat cycle broke. Zak and Alex now in front of me as they move to clear a pathway back towards “Our” room. A room we would all share once fully mated. A room I began organizing once learning that Tori would be ours.
Zak and Alex both whispering to each other as we continue to head for the packhouse. Tori now clinging to me as we do.
~Ambersky Packhouse~
When reaching the room do I move to look at Alex and Zak yet again. “Are you sure, you two don’t feel anything?” The need to double check with them rising.
“We’re sure. You just work on taking care of our mate. Alex and I will have another shot at mating Tori when his heat comes again” admits Zak. Almost as if Zak knew Tori would go into heat another two times.
Nodding my head do I carefully move to shift Tori. Tori whimpering at the slight move. Vox ready to take Tori as his. ‘Mate’ purrs Vox. Vox more in tuned with Tori than Tori was with himself.
‘Easy pal. We’ll mark him. But first we need to get Tori to where we need him to be in order to mark and claim him’ I say, hoping Vox would understand that we needed Tori at his highest level of ecstasy before we marked him as ours.
Huffing, Vox moves to lay down within my mind before giving me the space needed to help Tori. My eyes now back on Alex and Zak. Each of them holding the same silent agreement. Tori was ours and it was only a matter of time that each of us would mark and claim him as our own.
My hand quick to open the door. My foot nudging the door closed as I move to enter the room. Alex and Zak now on patrol. Both told to keep our floor on lock down until I was able to mark Tori as our Luna.
The bed now coming into view as I carefully move to lay Tori down within the middle of the bed. Tori soon watching me again through hooded eyes. His body hotter. His heat cycle in full swing even without a proper scent.
“Jake…. Please…”
“Shh… easy little mate. I have you. Promise.”
Then before Tori can speak do I move to claim his lips with mine. Tori moaning against my own. A rush of heat now coursing through my body as sparks begin to fly along our lips.
The mate bond now kicking in. Tori now reaching to grab my shirt in which I stop him. My hands taking his as I move to pin them above his head. A small whine rising as I move to nip his lip. My voice filled with need.
“Soon mate soon. Until your heat ends I’ll be right here with you. Claiming every inch of this sexy body as my own. For you dear Tori are my Luna. Now and forever.”
Moaning at my words, does Tori move to submit, Tori knowing exactly who was in charge as I was his Alpha. Now and forever and no matter what happened moving forward, I would always be the dominating Alpha within our relationship.
