Jas awoke to the sound of Wulf talking on his cell. She could hear him in her little kitchenette, also from the smell of bacon that was wafting into the room. Her stomach rumbled, reminding her that she hadn’t eaten since yesterday morning. She lay there quietly, thinking of all that had happened since yesterday. Why did she have this feeling of belonging, of completeness? She had never felt this before, she always felt like an outsider. Even when she was a child in her adoptive parents’ home with the other kids that came and went, she was never able to make friends. She was always alone. When her adoptive parents had died in that storm, things just got worse.

At the next home in which she was placed, Fred, her adoptive father, initially punished her for artwork she had painted, especially when what she painted started to come true. He locked her up when she had her trances; until she could run away. She had just turned eighteen. She had been lucky enough to find a job. Since then she had been making her way as best she could. She still was. Everything that had happened since yesterday was so bizarre but Wulf was in the other room. She could hear his quiet voice, which meant she hadn’t dreamt all of this. How was it possible to have someone like Wulf exist? Just the thought of him made her heart race. What now? He said she was his woman and that she had to stay with him, but what kind of life would they have? Apparently, they were in danger. Jas shook her head; this sounded like something out of a movie. She’d better get a move on, she had to open the art gallery soon. She had to get everything clean and ready before the first lessons.

Stepping out of bed she padded barefoot to her tiny bathroom to turn on the shower. As she was getting into the shower she heard Wulf end his call. How was she going to face him after yesterday and their night together?

“You’re beautiful.” She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she hadn’t heard him join her. Turning around, she would have slipped if it wasn’t for his quick reflexes pulling her towards his chest.

“Oh … you gave me a fright,” she gasped. Looking up into his eyes he lowered his head, kissing her gently on her forehead.

“Sorry,” he whispered, raising her arms to encircle his neck. She still couldn’t believe that a man like him would want anything to do with someone like her.

“You’re forgiven,” she smiled up at him.

Wulf looked down at her, thinking how unbelievable it was to have finally found his women. He had been looking for over six hundred years. He could never have imagined this feeling of completeness, of peace, that he now had with her. He knew it was going to be difficult for her to adjust to his lifestyle, but unfortunately, for her safety, he would have to insist on her cooperation. They would have to leave here soon. The Keres would soon sense her energy, as it had now been triggered. He also knew that he was more volatile with her around, after all, she was now his weakness.

Draco had agreed with him that Jas would live in their compound. She would be safer there as the living area of the compound is underground and the Keres MC wouldn’t be able to sense her energy. Wulf hated the idea of her being surrounded by his brothers. True they were as close as real brothers, but if any of them came too close to her, he did not think he would be able to stand down. Taking the soap from the side of the shower he started to lather the soap down her neck and arms. Moving his hand around her back, he soaped there from top to her perfect round ass. He squeezed gently, seeing her eyes half close with pleasure. Bringing his hands to her front he gently soaped her breasts taking his time, first one then the other. After a while his hand started to move down her stomach until he got to her pussy. By now they were both breathing heavily. 

Wulf’s cock was standing at attention, he soaped between her legs, gently opening her folds and rubbed knowing that she was sensitive after their love making. Jas moved closer to him rubbing against him, feeling his erection flicker against her lower stomach as she moved. She lowered her hand to reach his impressive erection. Lightly she stroked him feathering her fingers from his bulbous head to the base. 

Wulf groaned closing his eyes he lowered his forehead against hers. 

“You make me forget everything when you touch me, that’s dangerous.” Slipping a finger into her heated sheath he started to move in and out slowly, she sighed as he brought his thumb up and lightly rubbed her little nub.  She moaned as pleasure spread through her body. Withdrawing his fingers, he picked her up, leaning her against the wall, he placed her legs around his neck as he lowered his head and kissed her pussy tasting her essence. 

“Whose pussy is this?” he growled. She was so distracted with his suckling on her that she didn’t answer. Wulf lifted his head looking straight at her making her groan. “Jas … look at me … whose pussy is this?”

“Yours,” she gasped, he started to suckle, lick and kiss until she was panting.

“Wulf, Oh Wulf … ohh!” she screamed, coming undone. He gently lowered her legs kissing her lips and letting her taste herself on his tongue. Stretching his hand to the taps behind her he switched off the water. He then proceeded in rubbing her down with a towel until her skin glowed a light pink. 

“Come Angel we need to get ready, I have made us some eggs and bacon. Once we have finished eating we need to leave. We stayed here too long, soon the Keres will be picking up on your energy.” 

Jas came down to earth with a bang. “What? You want us to leave now! And go where?”

Wulf knew this was a bit hasty for her, but he had to get her to safety before any of the Keres MC appeared. He did not want her anywhere near a fight, and he also knew that if there was any danger to her, he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from being distracted in protecting her. He also didn’t want her to see him killing anyone and be frightened of him. 

“You will be living with me at the compound, you will be safe there.”   

“I can’t leave now, I have to work. The students will be arriving soon. I have to open up." Wulf tried to be patient; reminding himself that this was a complete change for her, he had to keep her safe and he knew soon the Keres would start to sense her energy.  Since they had bonded, Wulf could feel her energy radiating. It enveloped him, making him feel invincible. Just being near her he could feel his strength at full force. The Elementals women became beacons of energy to their men. That’s why the Keres MC hunted them. If they managed to capture a mated woman they could capture some of that energy for themselves by drinking from the woman. Elementals after hundreds of years, start to lose their powers and only their true mate can bring that back, the only problem is that to find their true mate is very rare between them. The Keres torture, rape and finally kill the women to get the most energy possible from them. The more intense the feelings that the women radiate when being tortured, the greater the energy that will prolong the period that the Keres will be able to feel. 

“I’m sorry Angel but that won’t be possible, they are most probably already feeling your vibrations and will be tracking you. If you stay here your students will also be in danger. I won’t have you in danger and if we stay here for long they will come.” Stroking her cheek with his thumb he tried to sooth her. He could feel her turmoil, making him feel helpless, something he had never felt before, but there was nothing he could do at this stage. He had to take her to safety.

“But my paintings, and my things. I know it doesn’t seem like much but it’s mine.  I worked hard to get what you see here, and what am I going to tell Julie? She expected me to open up for her.” Jas was feeling overwhelmed, she did not want to have the students in danger, but she couldn’t just leave, this was her home, her life. She could see that he was trying to be gentle with her, but she also felt that if she said no he would still impose his will as he believed he was keeping her safe. 

“I’m going to have to talk to Julie, she will have to come in earlier. She helped me when no one else was around, I can’t let her down.”

“I understand, and I’m sorry it has to be this way. If I could I would let you stay longer but the risk is too high for us to linger here. Ceric is on his way to collect your stuff. He will be here in the next hour; you won’t lose any of your things, Angel. We will take all of it. Trust me. He will also hang around until your boss arrives.” Jas felt as if the ground was slipping away from under her feet and she couldn’t stop it. It scared her, but if what he said was true, she wouldn’t be able to stay here anyway if these Keres got to her. 

“Okay, I will do as you ask, but don’t think that you will always get your way.” Turning she walked towards her wardrobe to dress. Grabbing a white lacy bra and panties with a plain white T-shirt and jeans, she dressed, keeping her back turned to him.

“Thank you,” he said, knowing that if it came down to keeping her safe he would always have his way, no matter what! He leaned down, snatching his jeans that were lying on the floor where he had tossed them earlier. Dragging them on, he looked around for his black T-shirt. As soon as they were dressed he ushered her into the small kitchenette to eat.

They ate their breakfast in silence. When they were nearly finished, he heard his brothers’ bikes. He knew that they were waiting for him downstairs; knowing that a male with his woman did not do well with other men around, especially when so newly mated.

“They have arrived. I’ll be right back, see what you would like to take with you. They will pack the rest and take it with them.” Bending, he kissed her lightly before going downstairs. Jas sat at the little kitchen table for a while. Everything was moving so fast. What if he kicked her out later? What would she do? She would be on the streets again. She knew he had said that this was forever, but what if he got tired of her?

He said that her curse was a gift, would he still think like that when she painted something that he didn’t want to happen? Would he think her a freak like everyone else or could he really accept her? Well it was too late now, she would have to trust him. Maybe this time she would get herself a home and someone who loved her.
