When they touch me (Shelagh Milano)



Chapter 121 Artemisia

I open my eyes as the sun streams into the large windows of the house I just spent the best night of my life in.

Biting my bottom lip, I watch my mates lying in the huge bed with me and I giggle lowly.

I let myself fall back into the bed and I turn my head to find Logan already looking at me.

"Good morning,” he whispers huskily, making me smile at him.

"Good morning."

He flashes me a smile, kissing my shoulder, getting my body to shudder pleasantly.

Haven't you had enough?!

"How are you feeling?" he asks me, and I sigh, closing my eyes.

"Exhausted. Sore. But amazing," I answer with a grin, making him chuckle.

He lets his fingers glide up and down my arm gently, making me close my eyes with a happy sigh. "How are you feeling?" "Oh, for a moment I was thinking that I died and this was my version of paradise," he grins smugly, making me laugh. "You are so insane."

He hums, moving on top of me. My heart stills in my chest as he spreads my legs for him with his knee, and starts to cover my chest in featherlight kisses.

I gasp as he sucks my nipple into his mouth, rolling it between his teeth. The bad feeling I felt for him just a few hours ago is completely gone as I close my eyes, arching my back to press myself closer to him.

"This must be the best way to wake up," Fynn groans, getting me to look at him as he watches his brother making me horny for another round of fucking.

"Let's see if the others will get awakened by your moans as well," Logan mocks as he pushes into me.

I press my lips together, pleasure mixing with the pain of the soreness, making my head spin anew.

“Ah, ah, ah,” Fynn tsks, grabbing my cheeks to make my lips part. "Don't hold back."

He moves his fingers down to my clit, making me moan loudly, and I already sense my mates stirring.

As if I could ever hold back... Even if I wanted to.

A screech startles me terribly and I put my hand on my chest as I laugh.

"Ramona!"

She walks towards me, pulling at the straw of some fruit juice as she grins at me. "You survived, I wouldn't have counted on it!"

"Oh, my Goddess! You are such an idiot, I swear," I joke, throwing a pillow after her.

"So, our pack officially lost you," she says, pouting. "And you have the audacity to even be happy about it!"

I lift my arms, opening and closing my hands repeatedly, and she giggles, running into my embrace.

"You are a Luna now!" She whispers and I nod before putting my chin on her head.

"Yes! Isn't it crazy?"

We laugh as it suddenly strikes me. “Oh, before I forget. I spoke to the caterer and the cooks. There wasn't any dish or dessert with strawberries, hun."

"Are you serious?" She jerks up, sitting up straight to look at me. "But I smelled it! Don't lie to me!"

I laugh, shaking my head. "I'm not lying."

"Is it some secret recipe?" She squints her eyes at me.

I crack up, about to answer her as my door swings open.

We jump, not being used to someone entering the room without knocking.

"Ramona," Cayden's deep voice has me worrying as he addresses my best friend in a serious tone. "Would you mind leaving me alone with my wife for a moment?"

Ramona looks at me worried before she gets up, flattening her skirt. "Of course, Alpha Cayden."

With a small curtsy and a last look back at me, she disappears into the hallway, closing the door behind her. I try to flash her a happy smile to not make her worry too much, but doubt that it would have any effect on someone who has been kicked out of a room by a grumpy Alpha.

"Is everything alright, darling?" I ask, sitting up even if my pussy makes me pay for the sudden movement with an uncomfortable stinging immediately.

I moan quietly, but he doesn't even acknowledge it as he answers.

"No," he drives his hand through his hair, starting to pace around.

Oh, this is a bad sign.

"I sent out the invitations to our marking ceremony as soon as we came back from our... little getaway... And well, your family was awfully fast to respond."

"Oh, no. Did they say they wouldn't come?!"

He distorts his face, halting to look at me as he sighs. "You know that I love you more than everything else, and your happiness is my sole purpose in life. But I wouldn't care less if your family would be with us during our official marking."

I laugh, crossing my legs as I reposition myself on the little couch.

I can't say that I don't absolutely love it when he is being so overly dramatic.

"What is it then?"

He sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose. "They reported our ceremony to the high council right away."This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

My smile falls, and I push myself to the edge of my seat. "I beg your pardon?"

"They reported us to the high council and they fucking accepted their claim. They have prohibited us from proceeding with any marking, and we will have to go to a trial to get our permission." My heart sinks to my stomach as he mumbles to himself, "At least they had the decency to schedule a date for the trial before the marking ceremony will be held, so we are going to plan it either way."

Tears well up in my eyes as I gulp, "Who did this?"

"Alpha Giorgio, my love."

I shake my head, my throat squeezing. “But that can't be. I just spoke to him this morning. He didn't say anything to me. Even my mom... What the

hell is happening?"

He clicks his tongue, sitting down beside me to hold my hands. "You don't have to worry. Everything will be alright We will prove to them that you want to be with us, that we are made for each other and that you are happy. Because you are happy, right?"

"Did you ever doubt that?" I chuckle between tears and he lifts his hand to wipe them out of my face.

"Never," he squeezes my hands, smiling at me.

Wetting my lips with my tongue, I scoot closer to him. "But we already marked each other. What is all that fuss? They can't do anything about it anyway!"

I'm so angry at my family that I could burst, but the worst feeling is as Cayden looks at me pitifully, kissing my knuckles before crushing my heart. "No, love. They have the power to remove the marks, even of fated mates. And if that happens, they will send you back to your home pack."
