Chapter 71 In His Arms
Chapter 71 In His Arms
CALEB’S POV
I was standing across the window of my room, my mind drifted towards the incident day and no matter how much I was trying to make the sense out of it, it wasn’t helping me.
Victor’s words repeating in my mind, dad was collecting evidence against Oberon, but the main question arise is did it happened because he was investigating on South Hills Pack or he had his hunch but either of the reason, what is the role of Oberon with South Hills Pack and did by killing he achieved what he was looking for?
Victor said that in dad’s old data I can find the details, maybe evidence of traces of evidence, which means he hasn’t touched them but why. I ran my hand in hair frustrating, things weren’t making sense, or my mind wasn’t catching it up maybe.
‘What are you looking at so focused? I was startled at Lilith’s voice and spun only to find her holding her clothes in her hand and standing close to my bed, as my gaze moved slowly, I found my bed half filled with her clothes, they were spread, my brows knitted.
‘I didn’t notice you coming back and forth’ I dragged my foot towards her.
‘That’s why I asked. What had caught your eyes and all senses that you did not even turn at any noise’ I exhaled a sigh and ran my hand at my nap.
‘Just caught up with something, but what are you doing here and what about these clothes of yours?’ She hummed, kept continuing folding her clothes, her eyes than snapped at the wardrobe in my room.
‘Which side is yours?’ instead of answering me, she asked pointing her finger towards the wardrobe, it didn’t take me time to understand what she was doing.
‘You’re putting your clothes in here?’ I asked cautiously, she nodded with her lips stretched.
‘Yes’
‘But why?’ although it could be clear to any dumb that she was moving into this room, I still asked her and she eyed me, resting her hands on her hips, her t-shirt still in her hand.
‘Because from today, this is my room as well, which means it will be our room, so all my things have to be here. I can’t go there and come here for everything’ my jaw drops, recalling how much fuss she had made when I brought her here in my room for first time, I wasn’t expecting her to willingly come in here and call it our room.
‘But didn’t you say last time that you won’t come here and was getting angry at me why I brought you here and not in your room’ resting my hand on my hips I asked her sternly, my brow furrowed, she pursed her lips and looked at me, batting her eyes at me.
What? Was she trying to use her charm on me? Well, it worked, my heart was pulling towards her but I won’t tell her this.
‘It was because you were denying our mate bond and I was angry at you’ I crossed my hands and lowered my face towards her.
‘And what happened now?’ I asked, my voice low, getting deep and heavy, she locked her eyes with me.
‘Now, you have accepted so I must come to my rightful place’ she hesitated, getting nervous under my gaze. I checked out her outfit, she was wearing lose shirt, her one shoulder bare and as usual shorts, my breath hitched in throat at the sight of her smooth, silky skin and I wrapped my hand around her small waist and pulled her towards me.
‘Caleb’ she wasn’t expecting it from me, as her body touched mine, she called out my name as protest.
‘You aren’t going anywhere out of this portion in this dress, if someone comes to visit me in this portion and you are wearing these shorts, you’ll stay in the room. Do you agree this rule’ my one hand was running slowly on her bare thigh; she closed her eyes and gasped as my hand guided upward.
‘You’re putting conditions?’ she asked shocked, her voice raspy.
‘If its condition for you, than yes, you’re not allowed to wear these shorts in front of anyone except me’ I whispered and dabbed her ear lobe between my teeth, she moaned. My hands were feeling the smoothness of her velvety skin.
‘Agree?’ she nodded, her eyes closed. I picked her up in my arms and laid her down on the bed, yanking her clothes from the bed making room for us two. Her deer like eyes fixed on me, I smiled, rubbing the back of my hand on her cheek bones.
‘Well, I never said I have accepted our mate bond?’ she didn’t mind my question, instead smiled and wrapped her hand around my neck.
‘Remember we marked each other’ she traced her finger on my mark, I closed my eyes, her touch was electrifying and the same time soothing, as if my body had been yearning for this touch for years.
‘I knew it was the day when you had accepted our bond, but you realized it when you were attacked by witches.’ My lips pressed tight, and my eyes lingered on her beautiful face, she was now tracing my jawline.
‘I felt your regret and calm too.’ She had felt my every emotion through mate bond, which means she learnt what was refraining me from mating with her. She smiled softly, her hands now moving upwards, she was tracing my eyes, nose and lips.
‘You don’t have to worry about what will happen to me. I will not live without you either, so instead of letting us both live in misery and our wolves yearning for each other, let’s break this wall between us and enjoy the time we have together.’ She was right, I had wasted our time, and because of me Kaden has to stay away from Irene as well.
‘You are right, let’s live our life and don’t worry about what will happen next.’ I hummed and lowered my head to plastered a kiss on her lips, my hands travelling down stopping between her thighs, she gasped and I entered my tongue in her mouth, devouring her.
My lips trailed lower, finding the sensitive spot beneath her ear, she arched her back, letting me know that she was liking it. I didn’t pull away and kissed her slowly on the neck, her hands finding their way in my hair and I went further down to plant a soft kiss on her collar bone. My hands caging her, our eyes locked, breath mingled and the world around us faded.
We both were lost in each other’s embrace when Ethan mind linked me, breaking our stance.
‘Alpha?’ I frowned, not liking his disturbance.
‘What is it, say it quick?’ I sounded annoyed and angry.
‘Dinner is ready, aren’t you and Luna coming down?’ my eyes glued at her, she was taking a deep and steady breath, her eyes closed. My hands sneaking under the hem of her shirt and she moaned at the bare touch of our skin.
‘No, we are resting and now don’t disturb me’ I snapped at him, and in return I received a chuckle.
‘Are you sure, you two are resting.’
‘Yes, and don’t be so noisy’ I shut the link, how dare he tease me.
‘What happened?’ she noticed my absence and asked.
‘It was Ethan, calling us for dinner, but I denied.’
‘Why?’ her cheeks were burning red, it was alluring.
‘I said him that you are resting and I don’t want to eat that for dinner’
‘Than what do you want to eat?’ she didn’t argue about my comment on her, I smiled at her question though.
‘You!’ she blushed, her face flushing red and I laughed loudly.
