Chapter 93: DIRE TERRITORY
“I know, sweetheart, and I am sorry you must feel my emotions. I wish the bond between mates would not work this way so you would not have to worry about me.” He turns me around, so I am facing him, but I place my head down so he will not see the sadness in my eyes. He lifts my chin, so I am looking at him in the eyes.
“Sometimes anger is just trapped energy. But it’s ok to be mad. Being angry is just as important as feeling any other emotion. The trick is to feel what you need to feel without letting it consume you. I would never want it any other way, darling. I rather feel all your emotions. Your happiness, your heartaches, your pain, your sadness, and anything you feel, then none. You complete me, Juju, and together we will win this war; Cristina has created for us. I love you, and no one will take you away from me, our family, or our pack.”
Daxt brings his lips to mine and kisses me. He is my air, filling my lungs. Becoming the oxygen that surges in my blood, fueling every cell in my body. I breathe him like I am drowning. He broke the kiss and then reminded me why I was in love with him. As tears fell from the side of my face.
“Two people sometimes find each other with broken foundations, and they build together as a team to make an indestructible foundation. That is us, Juju. He tells me, staring intently into my eyes. “Juju, remember our love budding like a rose. My heart longed and yearned, reaching out to you. Your heart drew me closer as our love continued to grow. The rose that gives me pleasure; like our love that last forever which is constantly renewed.”
“Daxt, I treasured the days and the nights as we basked in the garden of love. When we touched and embraced it, it grew into an enchanted place we now call home. My petals will always be your sanctuary.”
“I offered my throat to your wolf that night Juju, and instead of ripping me apart and killing me, you found truth in my eyes, loyalty in my soul. I settled in your heart as you settled in mine. I want nothing more than to align my body with yours. Lips to lips. Scars to scars. Pulse to pulse. So just let me always do so without you feeling guilty. You are my Queen and my Alpha, and I will go to the end of the earth to fight for you.”
I hug him so tight and let my walls fall as I let out what I am feeling. He gently rubs my back in soothing strokes, trying to calm me down. My eyes were like a river as he spoke those words to me, and he was right. This is why the goddess gave him to me. I remember when at the beginning, I did not want anything to do with him even though my wolf did. But then I opened up to him and allowed him to love me the way a queen should, and he is my soul mate. I would not want anyone else to have my heart except this man standing before me.
“I love you, Daxt!” Looking up at him while I am still in his arms.
“I love you, Juju, more than you ever will know. Let’s go home and get some rest, my love. You need it, and I know exactly how to calm you down,” he says in a lustful voice sending tingles down my thighs to my center core. I let out a slight growl in approval of what he would do to me once we got home.
“Let’s go then, sexy, after you.” Taking his hand and intertwining it with mine as we both begin to walk in the direction where our home is. We get to the front of the house, and I look at Daxt. “Maybe we should check on the perimeters and borders first before we call it a night.” Daxt sighs, at what I just told him, not happy with me wanting to go and check.
“No, Juju. You will go inside. Take your clothes off. Soak in that bathtub you love while I check on everything.” I agree with him knowing I will not win this argument.
“Make sure not to take too long.” I tell him lustfully. He gives me that devilish smirk.
“I will not be long and be ready for me.”
I nod, walk into the house and head upstairs to our room. All the kids are sound asleep. The house is quiet, and I cannot wait for my body to feel the hot steamy water touch my skin. I walk into the bathroom and close the door behind me. I walk to the tub, turn on the hot water and let the tub fill itself. While the water fills, I remove my boots and clothes from my body. I slowly step into the tub as I lower myself into the hot, steaming water covering my body to my neck. I soak in the tub blissfully until the water starts to cool off. Once the water temperature changed, I quickly climbed out of the tub. I take the towel and dry myself entirely before exiting the bathroom. I walk to my bed removing the top cover to the side and lay on my bed pulling the cover on top of me. Exhaustion kicks in instantly. ‘Sorry Daxt I tried to stay up and wait for you.’ I say to myself, and few seconds later I find myself drifting off to sleep.
