Chapter 17 — The Plan

“Troublemaker!!!”

Oh boy!

We hear in the short distance Dom yelling for me.

“T are you in there?” Dom says as he pounds on the door and unlocks it with his key.

I can hear him storming into the cabin.

I feel my anxiety rise a little.

Sasha: Deep breaths.

Taking deep breaths, I slowly walk out of the bathroom for Dom to see me.

He walks over to me and pulls me into his arms.

“Oh T, I have been looking everywhere for you. Why, why did you leave the house?” He says as he shakes me a little.

“Dom stop please.” I beg him.

He stops shaking and just pulls me into his arms. “T, I was imaging the worst. I know I was angry and spouting stupid shit. But that doesn’t mean you leave after we have an argument.”

I pulled back to give him an “are you frigging kidding me?” look with a raised eyebrow.

“I may have been out of line and said some things that were pretty hurtful. I’m sorry, I’m so sorry,” he says as he continues to hold me.

Sasha: Oh, please let him off the hook already, would you!

Me: Okay, okay.

“You may have had a point about me staying behind so that I wouldn’t get hurt,” I say softly.

“I did?” He asks as he pulls me back so that he can look at me to get a read on me.

I nodded my head and then grabbed his hand and placed it on my stomach. I put a finger to my mouth to tell him to stay quiet.

We waited for a moment and then we heard the heartbeat. Dom jumped back quick.

“What in the world was that?” He asks as he paces.

“It seems that we made a little pup.”

Dom froze for a moment and then a large smile spreads across his face. He comes forward and drops down to his knees as he lifts my shirt and kisses my stomach. My heart fluttered at the gesture.

He gets back up and picks me up into his arms and leans forward to kiss me. I put my hand over his mouth and say, “You might want to wait on that. I just had my first morning sickness and hadn’t had a chance to brush the taste out of my mouth just yet.

“OK.”

He walks me over to the bathroom and puts me down. He pulls out mouthwash from under the sink, a toothbrush and toothpaste from the cabinet. Kisses me on the top of my head and heads out.

Sasha: SEE!!! And you were worried our mate didn’t want us.

I quickly brush my teeth and use the mouthwash as well, clean up after myself and walk back out to find Dom pacing around the room.

Sasha: Oh no, this does not look good. I feel his wolf they are once again not seeing eye to eye on something.

“What’s wrong?” I ask him.

“Well now this whole threat has just become worse,” he says as he continues to pace.

“What do you mean?” I ask him a bit on edge.

Sasha: Remember deep breaths.

He stops in front of me and places his hands on both sides of my face. “I would die if anything happened to you because of this stupid situation my father has put us in, and now it’s even worse with a pup in the mix of all this.”

“So, what are you thinking?” I ask him.

He runs his hands through his hair, “I have no idea. I don’t know how to fix this T?”

I scrunch my nose again to the name.

He smirked and then his eyes widened. “You could run away?”

“What?” My heart pounded against my chest.

“Just hear me out. We let her think that she has won. You run away because of the big fight we had over the threat.”

“You want me to leave?” I whisper.

“No, of course not. I just don’t know how to protect you, our baby and the pack all at the same time.”

Sasha: Okay that’s what they are not seeing eye to eye on. His wolf wants us to stay.

Me: I agree with his wolf.

“So, you want me to leave and go off to have our baby on my own? For how long?” There’s a little whine in my tone. I am not seeing this as a good plan.

“Just for a little while, just until I can figure out this whole threat with Ofelia.”

“Dom, the situation with Ofelia is that we gather as many of our allies that we can, and we stand up to her threat and we face it together.”

“I am aware of that T, but you need to think about our pup and not putting yourself in danger. I am not going to take the chance of her getting past us and you having to fight her. I need peace of mind that you are safe and far away from the threat so that I can focus and eliminate her without having to worry about you.”

I sat there silently for a moment taking in everything he just said. How could we do this? I just can’t hide at home. Ofelia might have other wolves that are loyal to her. If I leave no one could know where I am. I have always run from my fears and now I don’t want to.

“Dom, I understand what you are saying, but I have run away from my fears so many times. I don’t want to run anymore. I want to be here with you. I want to go through this pregnancy with you not away from you. You will miss so much.”

I couldn’t stop the tears from running down my face even if I tried.

Dom walks over to me and grabs my face with his hands, “Believe me T if there was any other way of doing this I would. But this is what I think is our best choice.”

“Are we ever going to be together?” I say as I start to cry.

“Shh” He says to me softly as he holds me in his arms.

Sasha: Charity it’s okay, we will be with our mate. He is trying to be reasonable. I think we should do what he asks.

Me: What? But we just found him and now we are pregnant. Isn’t this everything you have wanted?

Sasha: Yes! Of course. But I don’t want to lose it all at once either. If he knows that we are safe and away from the fight, then he can focus on the fight and not worry about us. He can do what he needs to do to eliminate the threat so that it is safe for us to come back. It just for a little while. It’s not forever.

Me: Why does my heart hurt so much if this is for just a little while?

Sasha: It will be better once we complete the bond.

I pull myself back from Dom, “My wolf Sasha says we should complete the bond.”

He lifts me into his arms, “There is nothing I would like more than to complete the bond.”

He leans forward and starts to kiss me. I wrap my arms around his shoulders as the kiss continues and he walks me over to the bed and lays me down. He pulls away as he starts to undress. I just watch as he pulls his shirt up over his head revealing his tight pecs and eight pack abs.

Sasha: Yummy

Me: Are our pregnancy hormones heightened due to being a shifter?

Sasha: Who cares, let’s just ravish him and complete the bond.

Licking my lips, I nod in agreement.

Dom lets out a chuckle, “Something you like?” He says as he pushes his pants down and stands in front of me in all his glory.

I nod my head again. As I motion with my finger for him to come to me. He crawls over to me and places his hands on the hem of my shirt and pulls it up over my head. He reaches behind as he unclasps my bra sliding the straps slowly down my arms. Releasing my breasts my nipples hardening as I stare into those icy blue eyes. He leans down and takes a nipple into his mouth I can feel myself get moist between my legs.

He releases my nipple with a pop, “Mm, you smell delicious. Do I make you wet?” He asked with a chuckle in his tone.

I nod my head, “Very,” I say to him softly.

He places his hands at the top of my pants and pulls them down taking my panties with them. Laying completely exposed in front of him and I love every minute of it. His eyes grow with need and desire. He lays soft kisses on my body as he slowly until his head is between my legs. Making sure that I am spread out he lays kisses on each side of my inner thighs. I lean into the kisses and lift my hips, but he pushes me down back onto the bed.

“Patience my little troublemaker,” he says with a devilish grin.

I pop my head up at once and narrow my eyes at him, “You know at some point it will be my turn to taunt and tease you, so might want to think wisely about your next move.”

He chuckles and lowers his head as he takes his tongue and starts to lick up and down my line leaving my clit last to lick and take into his mouth and suck.

I lay back on the bed as I grab the sheets with my hands to control my reactions to his needy mouth on my sex.

He continues to lick and suck as he inserts a finger inside me and then another. My breathing starts to quicken as I start to feel myself getting close. He stops before I am able to reach my release and it practically crashes me from me so close.

“Dom!” I whine.

He quickly pulls himself on top of me and quickly pushes his member into my opening and starts to thrust.

He puts his head into the bend of my neck as he starts to lick and suck my mark. My hips and his are meeting thrust for thrust, we decided that the best spot for my mark for him would be just above his pec below the shoulder that way it is out of sight. I start to lick and suck on the spot so that it is ready for me to bite. I could start to feel my release come.

“Dom, I’m close.” I moan out.

“Me, too. Are you ready?” He breaths out.

“Yes,” I whisper.

He sinks his teeth into me which forces my release to come even quicker and as my release comes, I sink my teeth into him. His release comes quick as we coat each other with our orgasm completing the bond.

Sasha: Yes! Finally!

We keep bodies close neither one of us wanting to release the other. Our breaths coming out in short pants while we continue to lick and suck the marks that we have just made. Each time his tongue runs against my mark I feel a tingling throb in between my legs even with him still inside me. I feel his member start to grow inside me.

I let out a small giggle.

He lifts his head and looks at me, “I guess our bodies are wanting another round?”

I shrug, “I’m game if you are.”

He slowly starts to move inside me making sure to keep the pace nice and slow. I was enjoying every bit of it. And for the moment I was only going to focus on this time with him and nothing else.

After a few more sessions I saw finally sated and absolutely exhausted. Dom pulls me into the side of his body and kisses my forehead. My eyes are to close as sleep starts to take over.

“I am not going to let anything happen to you or our pup. I love you T.”

Is the last thing I hear before I fall into a deep sleep.

When I finally wake up the bed feels cold, and I realize I am the only one in the bed.

“Dom?” I call out.

But nothing.

I pull myself up and put my robe on as I walk around the cabin for a clue to where he went. On the table there was a bag and an envelope. I pull out a chair and sit down before grabbing the envelope and opening it, pulling out the letter that was inside.

TM,

I hope you don’t hate me for not having the courage to wake you to say good-bye. I don’t think I would have been able to let you go if I did. No one can know our plan. This is very important, and I am sorry for placing such a heavy burden on your shoulders and tearing you away from everyone you know and love. But this is the only way. We don’t know who we can depend on throughout all of this. In the bag you will find money and a cell phone. Make sure you do not use your other phone so that you can’t be traced. Don’t tell me where you plan on going. The bond will keep us connected no matter where you are. Please stay safe and protect our little pup.

I love you Charity, I always have, and I always will.

Forever yours,

Dom The tears began to fall down my cheeks. I let out a laugh a little.

Me: You know what’s funny Sasha?

Sasha: (Sigh) What?

Me: I think I have cried more in these last few weeks than I have in my whole life.

Sasha: We will be okay. We are strong. Together we will get through this.

I nod as I wipe the tears away from my face and take a deep breath. I close the letter and I tug on the bag and see that it had a lot of money and the new cell phone. I got up from the table and walked over to the stove and turned on the burner placing a corner of the letter to catch the flame.

Sasha: What are you doing?

Me: We can’t leave any evidence behind.

I walk the burning letter to the sink and drop it as it burns. I turn on the water and extinguish the fire and allow the ashes to go down the drain.

I take slow deep breaths and then turn to make my way to the bathroom to take a shower.

Sasha: Where do you think we should go?

As I let my fingers run under the water to test the temperature before stepping in.

Me: I think heading North would be a good place to start.

I step into the shower and while the warm water hits my skin I start to plan on where my journey will begin.
