Chapter 6: VI

Levi POV

She was intoxicating, she tasted even better than I had hoped, when I looked up at her, she quickly jumped off the table.

She pulled away breathing heavily, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes still hooded in lust.

“I am sorry,” she mouted breathlessly. The words didn’t have quite the right tone to them as she looked up into my face with questioning eyes.

“What?” I was confused, I thought we had come to a mutual understanding.

“I, this is not right, we shouldn't… I shouldn't… ”

I watched as she stuttered miserably trying to find words. She took a shaky breath as she stared into my eyes before she sprang off.

No warning, nothing.

I stared at her retreating figure as confusion overtook me. What had just happened?

What happened? Why did we stop? Hadn't we agreed that this was what we needed, to explore ourselves and each other? Had she changed her mind about wanting us to continue?

I didn't miss the pang of disappointment that accompanied the feeling, but I refused to let it show in any way. I fell on my bed, pretending to be unaffected by the sudden rejection.

My cock throbbed hard from lack of realese, and I knew I could use a good hard fuck. My mind raced around the taste of her lips, the feel of her body, the wetness between her legs and my cock throbbed even harder, desperate for more than what it could get.

Soon the sun poured through the window, brightening the room and warming my cold body. My eyes adjusted slowly from the dark of sleep. I groaned as my head pounded from lack of everything. The room still smelled of her, and her scent marked its territory.

For a second I imagined that she had slept in my room, on my bed, I imagined that I had taken her last night and she had let out cries of ecstasy over and over again while my dick filled her pussy. But that couldn't be. How can you want someone so much that it almost hurts?

Isabell was clueless about how much she had me wrapped around her finger, she was innocent in her ignorance of my desires.

I groaned as I sat up, the moon goddess had to be playing tricks on me. I know what I felt when I saw her, I knew what my wolf felt.

But Zoe and Jack were convinced. She wasn't our kind and she didn't know our secret, she was mundane, a human.

Why could I hear this human’s every thought? Why did she let her scent envelope every part of my being if we were more to each other? Was the moon goddess enjoying this? Did my torture make her laugh? Did she relish having power over me?

I grumbled as I reached the side of the bed, I made it to the shower, hoping to wash away every trace of Isabell from my skin. Yet I couldn't seem to forget the feel of her fingers trailing down my back.

Never had it been heard that humans and werewolves were together. It had never happened, it was a sacrilege. It had to be just hormones, what if I had a mate somewhere waiting for me? What if this was all something out of context?

When I was done from the shower, I picked up my phone and called Jack.

“Hey Levi, I was just about to call you. What's up?” Jack's voice filtered through the speaker immediately he answered.

I ignored his question, there were so many things that were going on that he wouldn't approve of. He had warned me to stay away from the girl.

“Do you want to go hunting?” I asked, hoping he'd agree, I needed every distraction that I could get.

There was a pause on the other end, “Sure, you couldn't have called at a better time. I've been dying to feel the breeze and sun, being cooked up in this office for weeks is definitely not my style. I'll meet you in the woods then?” Jack asked.

“Yes, Alpha,” I replied.

“Don't be so formal now,” Jack laughed before I hung up.

When I got to the woods, Jack was already there, a lazy smile played across his features. He leaned against the tree as he looked around taking in the scene before him.

His hands dug deep into his pocket as he looked at me expectantly. It was clear that he was impatient for the hunt. We hadn't gone hunting for the longest time.

“I hope we make a good catch so Zoe can make a feast” He said after he shook me. I forced a smile, unsure of what to say.

I stood there staring into blank space for a few moments.

“Levi?” Jack called, staring at me cautiously. “Let's shift” His eyes didn't leave mine.

I followed him to the deepest path of the woods where we always shifted from the prying eyes of the humans. Soon we were covered in fur and running wild through the trees.

Our feet pounding the ground as we ran until our lungs began to burn, and the adrenaline kicked in, our senses heightened. I flopped the haunt. Not once did I catch the rabbit that was closer to me or the deer that moved carelessly behind Jack.

And when we finally shifted back into our human form, Jack’s eyes bore mine with questions.

“We need to talk” His voice was stern, holding the authority of an Alpha.

“What's up?” I feigned innocence hoping I could somehow make it look like he had started it. He gave me a glare before turning back toward the woods.

“What's up? I should be asking you that, Levi, what's going on? You seem so out of your game today? What is it? Is it the human girl?”

“No!” I said quickly, way too quickly and Jack knew he was right.

“It doesn't look like it, Levi, I don't have to remind you of your differences, you're a werewolf and she's a human, and you're my Beta at that, your mate is somewhere, you can't mess it up. You’re only going to hurt Isabell” Jack advised. “And you know Zoe would kill me if you do”

“Damn it, Jack. Don’t you think I know that?” I was tired of hearing about our differences and just wanted to hunt. Suddenly something brushed against the bushes so I shifted back into my wolf and ran off.

Jack trailed after me.
