“I will wait in my room for when you’re done in the shower. Can I get you a drink or something? I’m going to get one and call Erik,” I ask Rogue as he lets go of my hand to go into the bathroom. I tried to say I would help with his cuts, but he said he heals quicker than most and just needed a wash down.
“A beer, Gold. I could really use one,” he says, rubbing his beard with his hand.
“I feel that,” I sadly chuckle, walking away as he goes into the bathroom. I jog down the stairs and find two beers in a fridge full of only cheese, beer, and weird things I’m pretty sure weren’t that colour originally. This is certainly a man’s fridge. I head back up the stairs, going to my room and leaving the door open. I put the beers on the side and pick up my phone off my bedside cabinet, sitting on my bed as I call Erik.
“Hey sis,” Erik answers, sounding like he just woke up.
“We have a problem, are you alone?” I ask, and I hear him walk out the room, followed by the sound of a shower turning on in the background.
“No one can hear me now. Talk,” he demands, and I describe everything that happened this night, not pausing once.
“Shit. Shit. Shit. I’ve heard some stuff around, but I didn’t believe a word of it until now,” he says.
“What things?” I ask nervously.
“I heard that the royals had some secret army. That people had seen these dangerous people around the castle,” he explains.
“I don’t know what they are doing, but it is dangerous and appalling. I need you to do something for me before leaving the castle,” I ask and then explain my idea.
“I will do it, but get a message to Snow and Nikoli urgently. They need to lock down the pack. Have the bears done that there?” he asks.
“Yes, and I will do that now. What about the prince?” I ask.
“He doesn’t know anything, Gold. I trust the man like a brother, even if he does want my mate. His mate. Whatever. I won’t tell him a thing about this, but I trust him,” Erik tells me.
“Be careful. Don’t take any risks. We don’t want them finding out we know about them,” I tell my brother, even though I know he can handle himself.
“So act normal, and search for a kid. Got you,” Erik says. “Love you sis, stay safe and keep me updated daily.”
“I love you too, and do the same,” I tell him before he puts the phone down. I send two texts to both Snow and Nikoli in our group chat, and see Snow reads it first. She sends a simple thumbs up as a reply, and I know she is handling it. The Forest Pack can manage themselves, and we are only a short distance away if we are needed to help.
“Hey,” I say as Rogue comes back into the room, fully dressed in a clean white shirt and grey shorts.
“I found these in the bathroom. I don’t know whose they are,” he states with a shrug.
“They won’t care,” I respond, offering him the beer, which he gladly accepts, opening the twist cap before taking a long drink. He comes around the bed and lies down on his side, facing me. I do the same after grabbing my beer and putting my phone back.
“Did you get to through to your brother alright?” he asks.
“Yeah. He is following the plan, and I’ve warned the Forest Pack to be on alert,” I inform him, and he nods, drinking some more.
“I feel like tonight is my fault,” he admits to me, sounding somewhat defeated.
“It isn’t,” I tell him resolutely, putting my beer on the side and snuggling closer to him on the bed. I rest my hands on his chest over his shirt, feeling how warm his is. His hand finds my bare thigh, and he starts slowly pushing Cain’s shirt up, making my breath hitch as I stare into his blue eyes.
“I’ve never had anything that was mine in many, many years. I never hoped I would find a mate, and here you are,” he says quietly. I take his beer out of his hand, reaching back and placing it on the side.
“I wasn’t looking for a mate either, but I know I wouldn’t ever take back meeting any of you,” I say, moving closer and his hand slides up my hip, showing my lack of underwear and making his hand tighten.
“Do you want me as your mate? I’m messed up, but fuck… I will look after you. I will love you and fight for you forever, Gold,” he asks me, focusing on my face as he waits for me to reply. I move an inch closer, so my words are whispered against his lips.
“I want you as my mate, and I will look after you too. I will love you too.” Rogue slams his lips harshly onto mine with my words and rolls me onto my back, pushing his body in-between my legs as he controls the kiss. I moan as he rocks into me, even through his trousers I can feel how big and hard he is. Rogue pulls away, only to pull my shirt over my head and he stares down at me like I am the loveliest thing he has ever seen.
“I need to blindfold you…I can’t let you see my body yet. Will you do that for me?” Rogue asks.
“Why?” I whisper.
“I have more than mental scars from my past, darling,” he says, and I nod once, seeing his whole body relax. He uses Cain’s black shirt to make a blindfold and I lift my head as he ties the ripped fabric around my eyes.
“Now I get to explore you, see what makes you moan louder and what makes you beg for more,” Rogue whispers by my ear and then slowly kisses his way down my body. His hands find my hard nipples just before he uses his mouth to suck them into his mouth and I gasp from the pleasure. Rogue doesn’t spend long with his mouth on my nipples as he kisses down my stomach and to my core. I expect him to tease me a little, but he doesn’t, slipping his tongue around my clit several times, slowly, and driving me crazy with how close he gets me each time.
“I want to feel you come on my hand, and then my cock as I bite you,” he pauses to tell me, his dirty words just turning me on more. I cry out in pleasure as he puts two fingers inside me, his spare hand working my nipple and his tongue flicking against my clit at the same time. The overload of pleasure sends me spiralling as I come, buckling against him as he chuckles. I hear him undoing his jeans as I wriggle on the bed, desperately wanting more of him. I gasp as he flips me over, pulling my hips up in the air and slamming inside me in one long stroke.
“Fuckkk,” he growls, slamming into me again and again as I scream out his name. I gasp as he bites down on the top of my shoulder and finishes deep inside me, making a second surprise orgasm slam into me. Rogue pulls out of me and flips me over, resting his body on top of mine and placing his neck near my mouth. My wolf almost takes over as I bite my new mate and claim him as mine as the emotions flood out of him and into my head.
“I feel the same, you know?” I say, knowing what I feel from him is pretty close to love. Rogue kisses my head gently.
“I know.”
