When Jas awoke she was alone in bed. Wulf was nowhere around. She got up and dressed in her jeans and a tight little black T-shirt that she had never worn, because it moulded her breasts. It had made her self-conscious. She hadn’t tried it on when she bought it; when she got home she had realised it was one of those tight-fitting T-shirts. She was feeling confident today and she was sure that Wulf wouldn’t be able to keep his hands or eyes off her. 

She giggled, he had a thing going with her breasts, and oh did she love it. As she walked out of their room she found Bion walking into the infirmary.

“Bion have you seen Wulf?” he turned, and stared not answering. “Bion?” He shook his head looking up at her face.

“He’s in the garage. Are you going to walk around like that?”

“Like what?”

Bion shook his head, then laughed. “This can wait, I’ll walk with you. I want to see this.” He was smiling like he had a secret. She started to worry as they made their way towards the garage. Maybe she should change, what if Wulf didn’t like it.

“Maybe I shouldn’t disturb him?”

“Nonsense, Wulf won’t know what hit him. He loves having you around.”

“Bion. What are you up to?”

“Me? Nothing just want to keep you company.” As they entered the garage they found Wulf and Draco standing with their backs towards them. Celmund was sitting against the wall laughing.

“Come on Wulf. It is funny, she’s expecting some sexy time. That’s why she only wants to talk to you. Be honest you’ve never complained before; if anything you used to come back with a big smile on your face. I’m just curious what you are going to tell your woman, when you come back smelling like perfume?”

Wulf had tensed halfway through Celmund’s teasing. He sensed Jas in the garage. “Fuck! Shut up!”

Turning around he found her just inside the garage door. Bion looking guilty next to her. What the fuck was she wearing, you could basically imagine her breasts right through that T-shirt.

“Wow! I take that back I would take her over Katya too!” Celmund was now standing next to Wulf, looking at Jas. Wulf turned and punched him right in the mouth.

“What the hell?” Putting a hand to his bleeding mouth. Jas had turned while Wulf had punched Celmund and ran back to their room. He was going to go meet some other woman and someone he had sex with, and from what Celmund was saying, apparently, he liked it. 

She was so stupid! How could she have trusted him? She should have known better; all the men she had known had betrayed her one way or another. All of them had hurt her. Why would Wulf be different? She was crying before she even reached the room. When she got inside she locked the door then put all her weight against the chest of drawers and moved it in front of the door. He could still get in, she had to get something else to hold the door closed. She grabbed the bed and started pulling. It was so damn heavy. Nearly there, she ran to the head of the bed and pushed. He shouldn’t be able to get in now. She sat on the floor next to the bed and cried.

Wulf was rooted to the spot, when he turned back and saw her gone his heart had fallen to his feet. What was he going to say to her, she just heard Celmund say that he was going to meet an Ex and that she wanted him? Fuck, she wasn’t going to want to speak to him again. 

“What the fuck man! You just told her that he’s going to cheat!” Bion was angrily shouting at Celmund.

“I didn’t know that she was there. I was distracted. Why the hell didn’t you interrupt me when you heard what I was saying?” Celmund returned angrily.

“I was too shocked to say anything.”

Wulf was standing, his arms stretched leaning against Brandr’s Dodge pickup truck, his head hanging down between his arms. Fuck! He could feel her anguish. The worst is that it was true, he should have told her that he was going to meet Katya. Made her understand that it was just a meeting; that he didn’t want anything to do with her but that he had to go, because she didn’t want to speak to anyone else. Now he just looked guilty, she had found out in the worst way possible.

“Wulf, I’m sorry man! I didn’t know that she was there.” Celmund approached Wulf trying to apologise. Draco grabbed his arm holding him back.

“Leave him alone for now.”

“I’ll go speak to her, tell her I was just teasing!”

Wulf growled, at the door before he even got there. He stood in the middle of the doorway breathing heavily looking at Celmund with deadly amethyst eyes. “Stay away from her,” he said in a low voice, but they all heard him.

“Come on My Brother, go talk to her, she will understand.” Wulf looked at Draco with a hopeless look. Draco felt his heart go out to his friend. Wulf turned punching the door that separated the garage from the interior of the compound. This was a thick fire proof door but a dent had now appeared. He needed to calm himself before he spoke to her. Turning, he made his way to their room. When he reached his door, he could hear her crying inside. He stood outside for a while wondering how he was going to explain his relationship with special agent Katya Volstok to her.  Katya was one of their informants but she only talked to him, she would not meet any of his other brothers. Yes, they had had a sexual relationship and he knew that she would want it to carry on. When he bonded with Jas he should have contacted Katya and explained the situation to her; not that they were exclusive but it would have prevented this situation.

Celmund had been teasing him about it. Because he knew that once they found their woman no one could tempt them. If Jas only knew, there would never be any other woman for him but her.  And now she would probably not even want him again, thinking that he had been planning to cheat on her.  He turned the handle to open the door to their room, nothing happened.

She had locked the door. All the doors except the infirmary were fire proof so not very easy to break down, but if she thought this door was going to keep him away from her she had a surprise coming. The crying had quietened down when he tried the door.

“Jas. Open the door.” He waited, expecting to hear the lock in the door, but nothing happened

“Jas. Open the door or I’m going to break it down.” He promised hitting the door with his palm. He waited a little to see if she would open, but nothing.

“Jas whatever you heard Celmund say he was just teasing me. Open the door and let me explain it to you.” He could hear her. She must be trying to muffle her sobs but with his sensitive hearing he could hear her and his heart broke at her pain.

“Jas, come on Angel let me in so I can talk to you.” He pleaded, but there was no response. Damn! He had to get in there. He had to look at her, touch her, and make her understand that she was the only one. He moved a bit back and then kicked the door. He heard her startled cry from inside but the door didn’t move, there was a dent though.

“Jas. Open this door!” He kicked again this time the top dented in. He kicked again harder the door moved, it should have fallen by now. Why hadn’t it? She most probably had something blocking it.

“Jas, move out of the way,” he warned.

This time when he kicked the door it opened about thirty centimetres. Putting both his hands to the door and pushing until he could get through the opening. As he slid in, he saw why it had been so difficult to break down the damn door. He looked across and saw her sitting on the floor with her head on her knees.

“Nothing will ever keep me away from you, not even you. Do you hear me?” She didn’t acknowledge having heard him. He moved towards her and knelt before her.

“Look at me Jas! Look at me!” She must listen to him. He placed his finger under her chin to raise her face but she flinched away from him. Seeing her flinch from him, was like being stabbed, he felt such a ripping feeling he wanted to roar in pain.

“Jasmine. I don’t ever want anyone but you. You are my woman, there will never be anyone else but you, look at me.” He pleaded, but she continued burying her face in her drawn up legs.

“Jas, you are the only woman in my life the only woman I love. I have never loved anyone but you.” He promised trying to convince her to talk to him.

“Were you going to meet her?” Finally she raised her head and looked straight at him with a tearful look. Oh, how he wished he could lie to her, but he did not want lies between them.

“It’s not what you think. She is one of our informants. She will not meet with anyone but me.” He tried to reason, without answering.

“Were you going to meet her!” she screamed, looking at him.

“Yes. But only for the information she has for us.” She lowered her head again shaking her head.

“Please Angel stop crying, you’re killing me here. I know you can feel how much I love you, after everything I have told you after the way we are together. Do you really think I would ever want anyone else?” He wanted to comfort her but not daring to touch her.

“Then why didn’t you tell me if it is all so innocent? Leave me!” When he heard her words his heart missed a beat

“I will never leave you, do you hear me. I was not going to have sex with her. I’m just getting the info I need and then I leave.”

“You two are lovers, I’ve been so stupid believing in you!” she cried, looking up at him again with an accusatory look in her eyes.

“We’re lovers, we aren’t and never will need anyone else again. Jas, you have to believe me, everything I have told you is the truth, I don’t want or need anyone else but you.” He was on his haunches in front of her.

“Why didn’t you tell me? If what you say is the truth?”

“Because of this, I didn’t want you to think that I was going to another woman, because that’s not true.” He tried to defend himself, hoping that she would believe him.

“Does she expect to sleep with you, when you see her?” Wulf couldn’t answer that, he knew if he told her the truth she would never trust him again, and without trust what was there. His face must have answered for him because a sob escaped from her. She raised her hand to cover her mouth and was looking at him as if he had betrayed her.

“I will not sleep with her,” he said quietly knowing that that wasn’t going to help him.

“I don’t want to talk to you right now. Do you want me to leave?” she said, sobbing. Wulf felt as if his world had just vanished.

“You will not leave me! Not now! Not ever! You will be in danger out there!” he said furious with the thought of anyone hurting her.

“So, what you are saying is that it’s okay for you to run around, but I have to stay here and take it like an ignorant woman! What if I do the same? Hey? Shack up with one of the guys?” She knew the minute she said it that she should have kept quiet. Wulf’s eyes changed to a dark amethyst. His fangs became visible, he grabbed her arms and gave her a shake.

“Anyone, no matter who it is ever touches you or even thinks about it that person is dead. Do you hear me? Dead!” He promised, dropping her arms, he took hold of the chair that was a few feet behind him and threw it at the wall on the other side, breaking the chair and denting the wall. Turning, he left. She lowered her head and cried as if her heart was breaking. She cried and cried, sitting there on the floor until she fell asleep, and even then, the odd tear trickled down her cheeks.

Wulf had walked out of the room but stayed outside the door. He too had sat with his back against the broken door, his head leaning against it, listening to her cry. Feeling helpless, giving her the space that she needed. He couldn’t see a way of fixing this. He had to go and meet Katya, she was the only way of getting those children to safety before they attacked the warehouse. All he knew was that he was not going to lose Jas no matter what. Draco walked up to him sitting next to the door against the wall. He didn’t say anything, he just sat there waiting.

“She doesn’t believe me. She doesn’t want to talk to me right now. She asked if I wanted her to leave,” he whispered not wanting to wake her. Draco looked at his friend seeing the pain that Wulf was going through.

“I will never let her go, it would kill both of us.”

“I will go and meet Katya. You stay here, lock yourself in that room with your woman and only come out once everything is fine,” Draco suggested, hoping that by giving it time she would come around.

“Katya won’t talk to you, and we need her help on this.”

“Don’t worry, just sort this mess out. I will go and meet her and I’ll see if I can get her to talk to me without you having to go.” He got up placing a hand on Wulf’s shoulder.

“Make this okay my friend. I don’t like seeing you like this.” He left. Wulf stayed like that for a while longer. Getting up he moved back inside the room and closed the door from the inside. Placing everything back against the door just as Jas had it. He went to her, picking her up and placed her on the bed as gently as possible. Jas opened her eyes as he was drawing away, and just looked at him. He moved around the bed pulled off his shirt stretched out on the bed behind her and pulled her towards him holding her there. She tensed but didn’t fight him.

“I will never let you go. I love you, and I want you, no other woman. You are my other half. We will only leave this room when you believe me.”

Jas lay quietly in his arms without fighting, dejected wanting with everything inside her to believe in him. She could not share him. She would not. They were locked in their room. Wulf would not let her leave. He spoke to her about when he was small, about how he became a warrior, about his fears and his likes, about the other brothers. Jas listened but she didn’t comment or ask questions. He held her close, except when she needed the bathroom. Wulf tried his hardest to get her out of her mood. He tried to keep away from anything that came close to speaking about his relationship with Katya, but at the end of the day without getting any responses or reactions from her he decided that it was time to bring it up. He hoped that she was calmer, that she would listen to him even get angry with him. Anything was better than this indifference, he just wanted the sparkle back in her eyes. He could feel that she was hurting but she had blocked him out and wasn’t letting him help her or himself. This coldness between them was agony.

“How can I show you that you are the one and only woman for me?” He pleaded with her to give him anything he could work with. She was leaning against the pillows on their bed. Wulf was sitting next to her with his feet on the floor. He now lowered his head to his hands that were resting on his knees, dejected. He didn’t know what else to do. Jas did not respond to anything he said or to his touch. 

“Angel, I don’t know what else to say to you, to show you that you are the only woman in my life now and always.” He mumbled still holding his head.

“It’s not what people say that show what they really mean, but what they do. And that isn’t what you showed me,” Jas said suddenly surprising Wulf, he nearly didn’t hear what she was saying. He lifted his head and looked at her. Her voice had been soft and dejected but her answer gave him hope. 

“You can’t say that, you know that I do everything for you. I live to please you. I should be on patrol right now but I’m here with you.” He placed his hand on her cheek as he spoke. “Look at me, know that what I’m saying to you is the truth,” he pleaded.

After a minute, she lifted her eyes to his. “You go out on this stake out and I have to stay here all the time. You don’t let me go out. How do I know you are not meeting this woman? I want to believe you but, how can I?  My dad also said that he loved me but one day he just left. I never saw him again. My foster parent was supposed to take care of me, but he beat me and locked me up until I had to run away so I wouldn’t be killed by him.” Wulf was listening to her, trying not to react to what she was saying. Who the fuck was this foster parent that had hurt her? “Have you seen her since we have been together?” she queried, her anger rising as she spoke.

“No. How can you say that? I make love to you basically every day. Do you really think I would have the stamina or even the inclination to go out and fuck someone else after what we share?” he angrily answered.

“Celmund said that you always came back happy after being with her, that she was expecting … how did he say it? Oh, sexy time. Were you going to meet her knowing that she was expecting to make love to you? What were you going to do if she only gave you the info if you made love to her?” She asked raising her voice in anger, tears were starting to fill her eyes again.

“Why are you doing this to yourself? Fuck Celmund and his big mouth! He was teasing nothing was going to happen, and I never made love to her, we fucked. Very, very different from what we do. Trust me. I would never jeopardise what we have for sex.” He angrily informed her.

“How would you feel, if you found out that I was going to meet someone that wanted to have sex with me and I hadn’t said anything to you?” she asked, tears streaking down her face, as she spoke, Wulf had tensed at her words.

“Just the idea of anyone coming near you with any sexual intentions angers me to such a point that I want to tear someone to pieces!” Wulf warned in a growl.

“Well then you know how I feel, and I’m hurt knowing that the man I’m with prefers someone else,” she cried, her tears now unchecked down her cheeks. Wulf grabbed her upper arms, bringing her towards him.

“Listen to me. You are the only woman I want. How can you think that after what we share?” He said bringing her close. He kissed her passionately. He put all his feelings into the kiss until they were both breathless. He stretched her out on the bed, kissing her neck, her eyes, and the tears on her cheeks.

“Angel, you are the only woman for me, the only woman I have ever loved, the only woman I will ever want, our race only bonds once and it’s for life, I told you this. Once I bonded with you there would never be anyone else for me.” He then went ahead to demonstrate his love to her kissing each breast tenderly suckling her nipples, nipping. Driving her crazy, he lowered his head kissing a path down her stomach until he reached her sex. He opened her legs bringing his thumb down over her clit, he rubbed it gently making her moan in pleasure.  Lowering his head using his tongue where his thumb was playing. He used his tongue in such an erotic rotational movement that she nearly came undone.

“Oh! Oh! Wulf!” she breathed moving her hips to the rhythm of his tongue. He penetrated her tight sheath with his tongue, plunging his tongue in and out to a slow rhythm that was slowly driving her crazy. “Please Wulf, I want you inside of me,” she pleaded. He raised his head looking at her with a hungry look that made her catch her breath.

“Later, now I want to savour you as you come on my tongue. I will take every drop, then I will start all over again. You will know that I only want you.” He went back down as promised working her over and over, only after she had come undone twice did he climb up her body. Placing himself between her legs, inserting just the head of his penis. He was so hard. If he had to plunge into her hot little furnace now he would orgasm instantly. He stood very still for a minute while he took control of himself.

He entered her feeling her muscles adjusting to his width, she was so tight. He ground himself to the hilt stopping. “I love you,” he declared, moving them in a slow rhythm.  As the tempo changed and he could feel her starting to orgasm once again he pulled out, turning her around, placing her on her knees. He stood behind her, entering her sheath. This brought him deeper into her; he bent over her as he plunged over and over bringing them both closer and closer, he brought his mouth to her neck preparing her for his bite. As he sank his fangs into her neck, she came crying out in pleasure. Wulf was so horny that when she started to contract around him and the feeling of her milking him with the taste of her in his mouth threw him over the edge.

He orgasmed so hard over and over he thought he would lose consciousness. When his body calmed he withdrew from her neck. Laying her on her stomach, he laid down on top of her, still inside. He was still hard. He started moving again in and out ever so slowly building up to another explosion. Wulf made love to her for the rest of the day, only letting her fall asleep in the early hours of the morning. He lay awake, holding her close, never wanting to let her go. He knew that she would still be wary every time he had to go out, but they would work through this. He would not let her doubt her worth to him.  She was his world. They both slept the morning away in each other’s arms. Jas was the first to awake, she lay in his arms listening to his heart, her body felt tender and thoroughly loved, and she was tender in places that she didn’t know could feel tender.

Wulf had made love to her like a man possessed. He had made sure that every part of her was worshipped. Assuring her over and over that he loved her and only her. She believed him, but she didn’t like the idea of him having to meet this Katya woman. Having temptation in the way. What if she threw herself at him, would he be able to resist? The idea of him touching someone else the way he touched her, was enough to drive her crazy.  The only way, going forward, was for her to trust in what he said, and to be honest she wanted to believe him.  If he ever had to want someone else, she didn’t think she could go on without this man’s touch, without his love.  The idea of not seeing him again made her want to tear her hair out in anguish. 

“You awake?” he murmured, stroking her hair. 

“Mmm,” she answered, stretching like a cat. “Argh,” she groaned, all her muscles complained. 

“What’s wrong, was I too rough?”

Lifting her face, he looked at her. “No, not rough, just thorough. I’ve got aches in places I didn’t even know existed.” Wulf smiled, he felt utterly sated.

“I don’t think I can lift my carcass off this bed, woman. You used me like a stallion.” Seeing her blush, amazed that she could still be embarrassed after everything that they had shared.

“No one will doubt how you abused me, when they see how haggard I look.” She laughed, there was nothing haggard about him. He lay flat on his back with one arm behind his head, his muscles looking as if they were sculptured, he was a very handsome specimen. His abs felt like warm steel under her fingers as she drew them over each one. The ink on his body was a work of art; the pattern of the tattoo on his arm like the one on her shoulder, still drew her eye again and again every time she saw him naked. The Elementals tattoo on his chest looked like the wings were moving as he breathed; but what stood out was the Amethyst that he wore against his heart. She had noticed that the stones tones changed with his moods. When he was angry it was a deep colour, when he was calm it was a much lighter and calmer colour.

“I don’t think that I can get up, my legs still feel like jelly,” she revealed, stretching one to try its sturdiness.

“You don’t have to, I will carry you to the bath,” he said promptly lifting her off the bed and taking her with him. In the bathroom, he sat her down on the side of the bath as he bent down to fill the bath for her. Lifting her up against his chest he stepped into the bath sitting down with her against him. The water felt so good, she groaned in pleasure. Wulf slowly washed her body, massaging her back, relaxing her. Gently washing her hair, he took his time making sure she was squeaky clean. She could feel this was affecting him, he was hard and pulsing against her hip. She pushed her hand down between them taking him into her grip hearing him groan in pleasure.

“No Angel, you’re too sore for this,” he said, holding her hand still around his throbbing cock. “Come, let’s get out and get dressed. I will bring you something to eat. You’ve eaten hardly anything for three days.” While Wulf had been talking to her yesterday about anything and everything he had fixed the hinges of the door and moved the furniture back into place. As soon as he was dressed he left to go find them something to eat. When he returned twenty minutes later her stomach growled at the aroma of coffee, toast and eggs.

“Did you make those?” She had never seen him cook.

“Of course. I have to know how to take care of my woman.” She smiled, moving towards the bed where he had placed the tray with two plates and the coffee. They sat in silence, enjoying the food.

“Thank you, those were really good,” she said placing her empty plate back on the tray. Wulf had finished a little while earlier and was now leaning on his elbow, looking up at her and smiling.

“I’m going out in about two hours to stake out the building. How about we go for a walk in the woods until then?” he asked, taking in her reaction. She had tensed when he said he had to go out, but she nodded, agreeing to go out. He knew that this had shaken her and that it was going to take time; he would have to be patient, there was nothing more important than his woman.
