Chapter 73: After the storm…

Chapter 73: After the storm…
Waking up the next day after the long night of passion felt different but in a completely different way.
The feeling was so hard to explain, as I never in my life felt so complete and like the last piece of the puzzle has set in its place.
A strong grip was holding me in place, making my back pressed into a strong chest, as warmth engulfed me in its cozy cocoon.
My hand reached up to where now my mark was showing, touching it as it felt a little sore, but I couldn't stop the feeling of pure and complete happiness that ran through my whole body while my fingertips caressed Marcus mark.
A slow movement made me for a brief moment to freeze, as a gentle kiss was laid down right above my mark, making a shiver run through my body as not intentionally a moan left my lips, making me feel embarrassed as my cheeks burned crimson red.
A soft chuckle caressed my earlobe, as Marcus nuzzled his cheek into the soft skin of my shoulder.
"Good morning my love." Marcus's raspy voice came, making the butterflies erupt in my stomach.
Clearing my throat, I somehow managed to answer, “Good morning.”
“How are you feeling?” he asked me as I turned around in his arms, towards him, raising my hand to caress his slight stubble that was showing on his face.
I could barely believe that he was now mine. This amazing male was now mine forever.
"Yes, I am yours as you are mine." He said, kissing the tip of my nose, startling me as wondered how he knew what I was thinking.
Raising an eyebrow, as he looked at me amused. A big grin appeared on his handsome face as he said, "Well since our bond is fully completed, I can hear your thoughts as I can feel you as well."
“O, I forgot.” I shyly said, making him chuckle as he pulled me closer to him.
I snuggled into his chest, placing the side of my face right above his strong beating heart.
“How come I can’t hear your thoughts then?” my voice was a whisper as I asked him.
“Well my love, it is because I have a block that keeps my thoughts from leaking through to you.” He answered gently but I could hear the humor in his voice.
Hearing his answer made me raise my head as I looked him in the eyes, “Why would you do that? And how do you do that?”
He smirked at me, “If you were to hear my thoughts…let’s say that you would be running away from me as all I could think right now is how I want nothing more but to repeat what we were doing all night long.”
My mouth fell open as I heard his answer, making my eyes grew wide. Coming to my senses, I smacked him gently on his chest, making him laugh at me.
“You are insatiable Mr. Silverman.” Laughing I said.
He smirked at me cheekily, as he leaned towards me, kissing my lips, "Well don't blame me for having such a mesmerizing mate as you are Miss. Morgan." Winking at me he said.
I couldn't stop the blush that appeared again on my cheeks, as I realized a few minutes later that he didn't tell me how to do it.
“So how do you block me out?” I repeated my question.
Shaking his head, I could see he gave up as he answered, "It is easy. Just imagine like you are building brick of wall and fill in the gaps with those imaginative bricks."
Nodding my head, I did as he instructed, and when I imagined my full-on wall standing strong, I looked up at him in anticipation to see if he can hear my thoughts.
Thinking how hungry I am and in a need to use the bathroom, blushing I looked up at him as he was smiling down at me.
“Don’t worry, your thoughts are safe from me…for now.” Wiggling his eyebrows he said, making me roll my eyes.
"We need to get up as it is breakfast time," I said, getting out of the bed, just to realize he was silent, making me turn around to look at him.
His eyes grew dark as they roamed all over my body, making me look down and blush as I realized I was standing fully naked in front of him.
Yelping, I grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around my body, making him laugh as he said, "You do realize I have seen you naked not once…" slowly he raised up from the bed, making my eyes travel all over his God-like muscular body, as he walked towards me in slow, calculated steps.
I could feel my heart racing, as desire rushed through my body instantly making me feel wetness pooling between my legs.
He smirked as he came in front of me, grabbing my waist, and pulling me fast into his body.
A growl sounded from his chest, making me lose my breath as his lips pressed onto mine, claiming them in a passionate, possessive kiss.
"I think they can wait a little bit longer because Goddess knows I waited too fucking long." He said in a gruff voice, as his strong arms picked me up and carried me back to bed.
Giggling as I landed down, I watched him crawl towards me, as a smirk was showing on his face while his dark eyes roamed over my exposed skin that was showing through the blanket.
Grabbing the blanket, he unwrapped it as I felt him kissing me all over, lulling me in the feelings of pure, passion, and desire, as an eruption of tingles exploded all over my body.
Sometime after our morning passionate lovemaking, we finally got up and dressed as together, hand in hand, we came to the dining room.
Knowing that most of the packs were already gone, we were surprised to see our friends there as they joked and teased, eating their breakfast in the most peaceful way.
Seeing the two of us walk inside, huge grins appeared on their faces, and before any of them could say a word, Damien walked towards us with a big smile, patting Marcus back, "Glad to see you both finally decided to join us. Come, sit down, and eat something. I am sure you two must be starved by now." Winking he said, making me want to hide under the table, feeling my cheeks burning.
Marcus chuckled, and gently squeezed my hand, but Tanner, not being able to hold in his excitement, he asked, “Show us your marks. I mean…I am guessing you two marked each other as…well…you look different….”
Marcus looked at him, “Different?”
“Oh come on…glowing. Now am I right to assume that you finally claimed each other?” Tanner answered.
Marcus chuckled, wrapping his arm around my back, pushing me slightly closer to him, he said, “Yes. We have.”
The cheers of joy and excitement sounded through the room, as everyone stood up and came to hug us both as well congratulating us.
“O please will you show us?” Mandy excitedly jumped, wanting me to show them my new mark.
Giggling, I moved my hair aside, showing off my new mark, making everyone looking at it in admiration.
Marcus looked proud as he showed the exact same mark I had on his shoulder, a mark showing a black wolf standing on a rock above the ocean with a mermaid rising from the ocean as they were wrapped in the big white moon shining above them.
"O, my Goddess. It is beautiful." Lizzy said, not being able to stop looking at my mark.
"Well, it was about time you two." Damon said, slapping Marcus on his back, "But my warning stays, hurt her and you will experience my rage."
“Damon!” I warned him, making him chuckle as his arms showed up in surrender.
"Just saying that is all," Damon said making me roll my eyes.
Marcus chuckled as he continued on eating, and soon enough we all joined him as we chatted about different things, joking, and just enjoying all our time together.
Coughing, Logan wrapped his arm around Lizzy as he looked towards Marcus and me, “Well we also have news. Lizzy accepted me as her mate and well now she bears my mark too.”
Jumping out from my chair, I rushed to her as I hugged her tight. Marcus followed me as he congratulated them both.
They showed us proudly their marks, and I felt as this day couldn’t get any better.
Wyatt rushed inside the dining room, straight towards our table, making us all look over at him, making me realize that I didn't even notice that he was the only one missing at breakfast.
"Alpha!" Wyatt said in an urgent voice, making Damon look at him and in an instant switch to his Alpha role.
“What is the matter?” Damon asked before anyone else could.
The air around us felt tense, as everyone was waiting for what Wyatt was about to say.
"We spotted them near the Goldmine pack borders," Wyatt answered urgently.
Slamming a fist down on the table, Damon was fast on his feet as he asked, “How much time do we have?”
Thinking fast, Wyatt said, “An hour and a half at the most. They are moving pretty fast.”
