Chapter 22: Chapter 22

KYA

“~Kya, I need you at the western border now~,” I hear Dec call for me through our link. I dash to the truck and speed to him.

I shift to my wolf as I rush out of the truck. Dec is in full-on rage mode. I push myself faster.

The carnage is incredible when I reach the border. I jump at a wolf that has Chaz pinned, knocking him away. Dad is fighting off a wolf from Laura. Ashley is on the ground along with Finn and Freya.

A rogue barrels my way. I anticipate him and sidestep his attack. I slash out with my claws, catching his abdomen.

Damon falls to the ground behind me with a wolf on top of him. I snarl and grip the wolf’s head, then bite down. I drop him and turn around to see our side taking control. There are a few rogues left, but they’re being handled.

I look at our guards that are down and rush to Ashley’s side. I shift and place my hand to her head and one to her heart.

“Dad! Get over here now!” I call out. Ashley is barely breathing. Dad rushes over and covers my hands with his.

The two of us combine our energy to help her. She’s seconds away from death. I force my energy into her, almost losing control of how much I’m giving her.

Dec grips the top of my arms. He forces his strength into me. I push myself as hard as I can, utilizing Dec’s strength. Tears leak down my face. My heart is racing. I’m sweating, but I’m not letting up.

Chase catches Dad as he falls away from Ashley. I push more energy to her, until I feel her heart beating strong under my hand.

I let go and almost fall over. Dec holds me steady as I take in deep breaths. Dad is standing on shaky legs. I look around to the three left on the ground.

Freya’s eyes are open, but she’s having trouble breathing. I place my hands over her lungs and close my eyes. She has a puncture in her left lung. I move my hands together and force energy into her.

The wound is small and quickly heals. I open my eyes and see that she’s breathing.

I move to Finn. I place my hand over his abdomen. “Dec, I can’t do it on my own.”

He places his hands on my arms again. “I’m here, baby.” I feel his strength as I push healing energy into Finn. Finn's body heals enough to keep him alive, then I let go.

Dec lifts me up, keeping his hands on me. We kneel beside Laura. I place my hands on her head.

“She has a concussion.” I give her a little energy to relieve some of the pressure. I feel weak and can barely move. I try to stand, but I fall back into Dec’s outstretched arms. He picks me up and carries me in the direction of his truck.

He’s bleeding from just under his armpit. I place my hand on him.

“No, baby.” I don’t listen to him. His wound is deep and it’s not healing on its own. I give him the last of my energy before everything goes dark.

DEC

I kiss my beautiful mate’s head and lie her in the truck. Freya and Finn are placed in the back of my truck, while Laura and Ashley are in the back of Doc's truck. Chase drives ahead of me as we speed off to the hospital.

I look to Kya every once in a while. I know she’s going to be all right after she gets some rest, but I still worry about her. I don’t know what happened when she was healing Ashley.

I felt her worry and fear, so I wanted to calm her. When I felt my strength going through Kya and into Ashley, I was in complete awe.

I had no idea it was possible for a healer to use the strength of another wolf. I wonder if it’s because we’re mates, or if it’s because I’m an alpha. It could be that she’s the luna. Hell, it could just be that Kya is amazing.

The Moon Goddess’s words seep into my mind. We’re her favored children and our mating bond is a blessed one.

Kya stirs as we arrive at the hospital. Doc is giving out orders to the nurses while being held up by Chase. I pull Kya out of the truck and carry her into the infirmary, gently placing her on a bed.

I kiss her sweet lips then unwillingly peel myself away to check on my guards. Kya’s mom is checking Ashley over. “How is she, Mrs. Mason?”

She covers her with a blanket. “Her body is healing. She’s going to take a bit longer, but she’ll pull through.”

I let out a relieved breath. “And the others?”

She pats my arm. “Everyone is going to be fine. Kyle is taking care of the more minor injuries now.” She shakes her head with worry in her eyes.

I look over to the doctor. He’s clearly exhausted. I look at the wounds of my guards. They look to be painful but are already beginning to heal. I don’t want the doctor passing out, too. “Doc. That’s enough. You get some rest. We’ll all be all right.”

His defeated shoulders sag, but he concedes. “Yes, Alpha.”

Another group of twelve rogues had attacked us. I leave the room and make my way outside. “~Bruno, Father. I want you two at the western border to help with the patrol nightly until this rogue problem is taken care of.~”

I let the families of the injured know that their loved ones are in the hospital. I quickly grab clothes from my truck and dress. I run my hand through my hair and make a phone call.

“This is Alpha Harold Roberts.”

I growl from deep in my chest. “Your pup is going to start a war. Are you sure you want to continue down this path?”

I hear a swallow before he replies. “I don’t know what you’re referring to.”

I growl out. “Don’t fucking lie to me, you pansy son of a bitch. I know he’s behind the attacks on my pack, I know he wants my mate. I don’t care what you do with your pack, but if one more rogue steps in my territory, your pack is forfeit. I WILL KILL THEM, ALL.”

I hang up the phone and drop it to the ground. I throw my head back and growl from the depth of my being. I’m seeing red!

“~Dec. I’m here, honey. Calm down. It’ll be all right.~” I let out a breath as I hear Kya’s voice in my mind.

I return to the infirmary. Kya is awake and sitting up in her bed. Her sheets are tucked under her arms as she’s naked underneath. Just seeing her brings me peace.

I take my shirt off and slip it over her head. Her eyes look at me with worry. She feels guilty for some reason. I take her hand and sit on the bed next to her. “Baby, this isn’t your fault. You’ve done nothing wrong.”

Her eyes tear up as she shakes her head. “If I never left, if I never went to that pack, Owen wouldn’t be acting like this.”

I run my hand over her soft cheek. “No, baby. It’s not your fault that he’s fucked up in the head. Don’t you dare blame yourself for his cowardly actions.”

I bring her head to rest on my chest and stroke her back. She slowly begins to calm down. She lifts her head to look at me. “I want to go home.”

I nod and pull her out of the bed. I carry her out the door and straight to the truck. Her parents say nothing as we pass them by. I set her in her seat, then drive her home. I carry her up the steps.

“I can walk, you know.”

I shake my head. “No, baby. Let me take care of you.” She gives me a soft smile. “We both need a shower. We’re covered in blood.”

Her arms wrap around my neck as I wash the blood from her body. I’m kneeling in front of her with a loofah in my hand. She kisses my lips then steals the loofah. She begins washing the blood from my back. “Stand up, let me get your legs.”

I keep my arms around her as I stand. “I love you, Kya.”

Her innocent, bright eyes light up. I can feel the emotion she feels. “I love you, Declan.”

She slowly runs the loofah down my body getting soap everywhere. She drops the sponge, then traces my body with her hands. I become stiff upon her touch. I smell her arousal and I harden even further.

I rinse, then turn off the water and pick her up. Her legs wrap around my waist. Her delicate flower rests against my member as it throbs between us. I lay her gently on the bed and kiss her softly. I know she’s exhausted.

I pull away from her. She grips my shoulders. “Declan Redd, make love to me.”

I can’t deny her anything. I insert my tip and slowly enter her. Her pulsing warmth wraps around me as I slowly, steadily move in and out of her. She closes her eyes as she’s overcome with sensation. I hold her face.

“Open your eyes, baby. Let me see those emeralds sparkle.” She opens her eyes as I continue to plunge into her slick core.

She peers through her lashes as she bites her lip. I grunt trying to stay in control. She pants harder and harder in time to my movement. She begins to whimper.

I lick her mate mark and send her over the edge. Her muscles clench around me and I reach my climax, spilling my seed deep into her.

She takes long, labored breaths, her chest rising and falling. I kiss her from her sternum up to her plump lips. I roll us onto our sides, holding her close to me. She quickly, peacefully falls asleep.

I close my eyes, still inside of her, and fall asleep.

Kya’s alarm wakes me up. I turn it off and drift back to sleep. I feel moisture and pressure around my member. It reacts, stiffening.

Kya kisses my mate mark. My eyes fly open. She pushes me onto my back and begins to gyrate on top of me. Her hands rest on my chest as she begins to slowly move up and down.

I grab her hips and lift her until only my tip is inside her, then thrust into her. She grips my forearms and her head falls back as I do it again, then again.

Her breasts sexily bounce up and down. I reach up and palm them, enjoying the feel of her hardened nipples in my hands. I watch between our legs as we come together, then back apart and together again.

I fill her up completely as she takes me all the way inside of her and our flesh melds together. She leans forward and takes control of the movement, hitting her most sensitive spots.

She bites her lip as she squeals, “Dec! I’m going to come.”

I hold her body closer to me and pound into her. She bites my shoulder as she splashes her orgasm over my lap. “Oh, fuck. Kya!” I lose it and release everything I’ve got. She sits up on top of me, letting me pulse inside of her.

My hands run up and down her body as she remains seated with me inside of her. I caress her perky breasts and move my hands down to her stomach.

I make my way down lower and play with her overly sensitive clit. Her muscles clench around me and I’m jerked back to life. Her eyes open wide. She puts her hands on the bed then pulls up and off of me so she’s on her hands and knees.

“I’m sorry, baby. My body just reacts to you,” I say.

She gives me a sexy smirk. “Good, because I want more.” She shoves her tongue in my mouth and shakes her ass in the air. I grip her ass and massage it. I kneel behind her and look her over.

Goddess, she is so sexy. I run my length along her slit, up and down, then slowly enter her. “Don’t hold back, Dec. I want it all.”

Oh, holy Goddess above. I grip her waist as I thrust into her from behind over and over again. The sound of flesh slapping together fills the room. She cries out, “Oh, Goddess. Oh, fuck!”

I slam into her as deep and hard as I can, pulling her into me at the same time. She cries out. “Oh yes, yes, yes. Dec, oh yes!”

I pull her body to mine so her back is against my chest as I drill into her harder and deeper. Her hands hold on to the back of my neck. I bite her shoulder.

Her muscles clamp down around me. I keep up my pace drilling into her. She lets go of my neck and bends back down again, gripping the sheets with her ass high in the air, her legs spread wider.

Our fluids drip out of her every time I pull back. My wolf comes out and I grip her hair into a fist as I continue to plunge into her like a freight train. She reaches between our legs and grabs my sack in her hand.

I smack her ass and she cums around me. The hot sensation surprises me and I pull out to release on her throbbing mound. Her ass all wet and sticky is the hottest thing I’ve ever seen.

We collapse on the bed to catch our breaths. I rub her ass where it’s pink from smacking her. She hums in delight. I kiss her under her ear. “Did you get enough, baby.”

She shakes her head. “I don’t think that’s possible.”

I hold her back to me and rub her still sensitive body. “If you want more, I’ll give you more.” She runs her hand over my tattoo.

“I really want more, but I’m pretty sore and really tired.” I run my hand up and down the perfect skin of her back. She closes her eyes. “Dec?” Her voice is soft and timid.

“What is it, love?” I feel her curiosity, which is mixed with trepidation.

“Was sex this good with the other—”

I don’t even let her finish the question. “No! No, love. No one even comes close to you. You’re it for me. You’re all I ever need.”
