Chapter 25: New friends

Jelena:

Traeger and I are both lying face to face in one of the cabin’s room. My leg is lying over his, and his hand is on my back. I run my hand up and down his back, thinking about what was said earlier. Mathias and the rest of the Council enforcers decided that they’d wait till deep into the night to go to the Institute. Traeger was able to contact Arsenal and Grey telepathically, giving them a heads up on the plan. According to them, the Institute is in an uproar. They sent several men to search for us.

Nevaeh and Cassia turned out to be really nice. We were delighted to find out that we’d attend Cal. State together. Cassia already graduated, but she said she’d give me a tour. I learned about her and Mathias’s love. I was also shocked to find out that Mathias is Nevaeh’s dad. Apparently, angels and many other supernatural beings are immortal. Even though Mathias looks like he’s in his twenties, he is actually thousands of years old. When I asked Traeger, he said that Lycans live longer than the average human. However, he wasn’t sure about mates because the Institute never taught them about humans. He said that as soon as everything is settled, he will check.

I can’t help but worry about my family. They must be upset over my disappearance. I want to call my mom, but I know that what Mathias said is true. I don’t want the Institute to hurt them. I place a soft kiss on Traeger’s lips. He nibbles my lips, keeping his eyes focused on mine. I whisper softly. “I don’t want you to go, Traeger. I’m so scared. Those doctors were completely mad. They wanted Dorian to rape me. They didn’t care if you watched it.” He nods his head, rubbing my back soothingly. “I know, Jelena, but I need to save my pack.” I kiss him again, pulling him closer.

The kiss deepens. I want to strip his clothes off. I reach down and pull his shirt over his chest. I kiss his neck, chest, and ribs. He lets out a shudder breathing raggedly. Traeger pushes me back up, kissing me deeply. I suck his tongue into my mouth, nipping and sucking his lips. My hands caress the back of his head as his hand moves from my waist to the juncture between my thighs. His hand rubs over my pants, making me pant. He moves his hand up to the button of my pants and unbuttons them. His hand slips inside, finding my nether lips and slipping into touch my clit. I arch my back, wanting to explore the pleasure. Suddenly, he is over me, removing my pants and top. He is still in his pants. I unbutton them sliding them down to his knees. He rises up and removes them. We are now both naked and panting on the bed. His fingers slipping in and out of my pussy. I gasp into his mouth, sucking his tongue hard and nibbling on his lips. My hands claw down his back. He wraps my legs around his waist, grinding his cock against me. I can feel the wet glide of his shaft as it rubs over my clit and hole. He pulls back, holding his pulsing shaft and slips it inside me. We both moan in pleasure as his cock goes in and out of my body.

Traeger sits up on his knees as he pumps in and out of my molten center. I pull my hands up over my head, holding onto the headboard. He growls and moves faster. Then he moves over me, grasping my breasts and sucking them hard into his mouth. I’m panting as his sucking makes pleasurable sparks run down my body to my aching center. I look at him through hooded eyes. His chiseled body moving in and out of me. He looks so rugged and untamed. His strong muscled back straining. I pull my hands down to his tight ass pushing him further inside me. He pulls up, kissing my mouth passionately. I hold on to him as tight as I can, making my breasts scrape against his chest. Then suddenly, I shudder as my orgasm rolls through my body. I close my eyes. “Traeger! I scream softly and close my eyes as ecstasy rolls through me. Traeger pushes inside me a few times and shudders out his own release.

We’re both lying side by side again, spent in the glow of our lovemaking. Traeger is laying soft kisses on my eyes and nose. I’m just content to be in his arms. “I love you, Traeger,” I whisper softly under his chin. He tightens his arms around me. “I love you too.” I want to say more, but before I can, a knock resounds on the door.

Traeger pulls back, placing one last kiss on my head. He rises from the bed, slipping his jeans back on and walks to the door opening it slightly. I pull the covers over my body as a male voice resounds from behind the door. I strain to listen to their whispered conversation, but it’s too imperceptible. After a moment, Traeger closes the door and walks back towards the bed. I sit up, holding the sheet against my chest. “Who was it?” Traeger leans down to pick up his shirt from the floor and puts it on. “It was Mathias. The rest of his team has arrived. We’re meeting downstairs in ten minutes for a debriefing. We leave for the Institute in an hour. “I scoot forwards worriedly and pull him towards me. “I’m so scared, Traeger.” He places his hands over my waist and pulls me forward. “I’ll be fine, Jelena. I’m a trained Lycan soldier.” I swallow nervously, looking into his beautiful gunmetal eyes. “I know. I just don’t think I can bear it if something were to happen to you. I love you so much.” He smiles, kisses me lightly, and pats me on the ass. “Get dressed and meet me downstairs.” I give him a reproachful look letting the sheet fall slowly down my body. I smirk at the heated look on his face. Naked, I get up from the bed rubbing against him and walk towards the bathroom.

Once I’m done, I walk down to the living area, surprised to see all the men and some women gearing up for combat. Some of the ladies eye Traeger up and down. I walk towards Traeger, who is loading his weapon. He places it on his shoulder and pulls me close. It’s scary how comfortable he is with all of these weapons. He kisses my head and moves back to pick up a long sword. He looks the weapon over, weighing it, then placing it in a scabbard. Nevaeh and Cassia walk in a minute later. They move towards me. Mathias calls everyone’s attention. The room goes quiet. “Okay, everyone. We will be heading towards the rendezvous point I marked on your map. Make sure your communicators are working. Also, make sure you do not shoot any Lycans. Traeger has spoken to them, and they are ready to fight. Remember, they are our allies. The guards are dressed in blue uniforms, and Traeger will take the lead with the research doctors and anyone else. Make sure you have enough ammo and a knife or sword. Do not kill any of the doctors unless they give you no choice. We need some questions answered.” The men nod their heads in compliance. Mathias looks at Cassia, Nevaeh, and me. “Nevaeh, Cassia, and Jelena will stay here.” We nod our heads. Cassia seems upset but does not say a word.

Everyone begins filing out the door. Mathias, Mikhail, Azazel, and Traeger remain behind. Mathias walks towards Cassia, wrapping her in his arms. Mikhail does the same with Nevaeh. Azazel moves him out of the way and pulls Nevaeh into a deep hug. Everyone is hugging. I look at Traeger, who pulls me into his arms and gives me a tight hug. I kiss his cheek and whisper quietly. “Be safe. I love you.” He kisses the top of my head and whispers back. “I love you too.”

Then they are gone. The girls and I look at each other in worry. Cassia smiles halfheartedly. “Okay, let’s make sure we have everything ready by the time they get back. We need bandages and anything else that they might need.”
