40 Mended Heart
Eli POV
We reach the pack house and I link my parents to come to my office. I take a seat behind my desk and pull Calliope onto my lap needing her close. I breathe in her delicious scent and it calms both me and Silas. The door opens and my mother walks in with Faith, followed by my father. She smiles at me with a look that says I told you so. If I wasn’t so angry about the audacity that some pr*ck sent a rogue here threatening my family I would laugh. “Eli, what’s wrong” my father asks as they sit across from us. I take a few deep breaths before I finally speak. “A rogue requested to speak with the Alpha of the pack. Calliope and I headed to the border and he told us he had a message from his master.” My father stiffens at my words. “Does the wolf have a tattoo on his wrist?” “I have no idea but why is that important dad?” “Familials usually call the vampire they want to sire them master out of respect.” “What the hell is a familial?” “They are other supernaturals or humans who wish to become vampires and swear their loyalty to the one that will turn them. They are branded with the mark of their master, like cattle. They don’t even understand that they are being used until it’s too late.”
“What else did the rogue say, Eli?” Silas is pushing to the surface thinking about some ba**ard threatening our family. I look at Faith sleeping peacefully in my mother’s arms. My mother stands coming around the desk and sets Faith in Calliope’s arms. I breathe in my daughter’s scent, calming me even further. “He said that my family and I would pay for my father’s sins.” I tighten my grip on Calliope. My father roars and I can see that Talon is at the surface. My mother jumps up placing herself in his lap. “Calm down Lincoln. No one will hurt our pups or our pack.” Once my father is back in control, he looks into my eyes with sympathy. “A year before I met your mother, we began to having pack members disappear. We increased patrol when we noticed an increased scent of vampires at the southern border. Michael and I were summoned to the border a few nights later because we were
under attack. We lost warriors that night, but we were able to kill all the vampires, including the coven leader. I still don’t know why they attacked our pack, but I found out later they were from the Black Heart coven.”
“It still doesn’t make sense that all these years later they would want revenge.” My father looks defeated and I’m not sure why. He was completely justified in protecting the pack. “Supernaturals talk Eli and word reached the pack that the coven leader had a son that was only a year old. His beloved died as a result of his death, leaving the child without either of his parents. I know we did what had to be done to protect our pack, but that never lessened the guilt for me. We have relationships with many covens and our pack had never had dealings with the Black Heart Coven before that night.” Calliope stands already knowing that I need to go to my father. I stand coming around my desk and pull my father into a hug. “You did nothing wrong. I feel for the vampire’s son, but the only one to blame for his loss is his father. Whatever motive he had for attacking our pack caused his own demise and in turn, left his son without his parents. You have no blame in what happened, dad.” He pulls back “thank you, Eli.” “I will be increasing the patrol. Part of me still thinks that Grant is involved in some way.” My father growls again. “I will kill that ba**ard if he has brought these vampires to our door” my father says, and I couldn’t agree more. “I will interrogate the rogue tomorrow to see if we can get more information about the coven.” My father nods and sits back down with my mother.
Calliope POV
My heart breaks to hear Lincoln’s guilt over something that he had to do to protect his people. He really is a great alpha and father. I wish my own father had been more like him and I wouldn’t be so willing to step away from the pack that should be my birthright. I’m hoping Eli will go with me tomorrow to talk to the ranked members of the Crescent Moon and the pack but with the threat of a vampire attack, I may have to do it alone. Amelia walks over to me and wraps me in a hug, taking care not to squish Faith. “Welcome to our family Cali.” I smile at her use of my nickname. “Thank you, I’m so happy to be here.” “I’m going to take Faith for the night so you and Eli can have some time together” she says to me with aProperty belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
wink. I nod and Aurora is prancing in my head. Eli kisses Faith and I do the same before Amelia and Lincoln leave the office. Eli wraps his arms around me and buries his head in my neck. Despite the fact that we aren’t bonded yet, I can feel his worry and fear, which is strange. “Eli, I am here with you. We will keep the pack safe.” He pulls back and I realize that it’s not the pack he is worried about. He expects to have to protect the pack from enemies. He is worried about me, his family, and Faith. I place my hand on his face. “Eli, I know you’re worried about me, your family, and Faith, but we are stronger together. We will protect the pack and our family together.” “I can’t lose you, Calliope or anyone I love. I won’t survive it.”
“I can’t lose you or our pup Eli. We will deal with the vampires and whoever Grant is. We will deal with anyone who is a threat to our pack and family. We will keep each other safe. Focus on defeating the enemy and we will be fine when we fight together.” He slams his lips down on mine and this kiss makes my knees weak. I feel so many emotions and it floods my body with heat, love, and need.” Before I know what’s happening, I’m tossed over Eli’s shoulder. I growl not in anger, but with lust for my mate man handling me. I didn’t expect to like it, but I do. As soon as we reach our floor, he carries me into what I assume is the room we will share. It’s beautiful but I have no time to admire the decor. I’m tossed onto the bed and I look up into my mate’s beautiful eyes. He starts to pull his shirt over his head and I suck in a breath. He is gorgeous and I want nothing more than to touch him. His look makes me believe he wants me to watch him as he pulls his pants off. I can feel my core clench as he stands before me in boxer briefs. His bulge is very prominent and I can’t help but stare as he pulls them down, releasing his c**k. I’ve seen many men in the pack and collective, as werewolves don’t mind nudity, but he is the biggest man I’ve ever seen. When I look back at his face, he has a knowing smile.
“You are wearing far too many clothes, mate,” Eli says. A shiver runs down my spine at his words. I can feel my panties dampen and I clench my thighs together. He scents the air and his eyes darken with lust. “I can smell your arousal, Calliope. You smell so sweet and I can’t wait to taste you.” I swallow, I’ve never done anything and he just said he wants to taste me. He must see my worry. He stalks forward and leans over me, so we are nose to nose. “I promise that I will make you feel good. I will not hurt you.
I will only love and worship your body, Calliope.” His words make warmth spread throughout my chest. “I’m not worried Eli. I know you would never hurt me. I just want this to be good for you. I have no experience in pleasing a man.” He growls low “I’m glad that I am the only one that will get to touch and taste you. I will be the only one to make your sweet p**sy cum.” I can’t believe how his words make my body respond. He hasn’t even touched me yet and my panties are destroyed. He reaches down and pulls the t-shirt over my head. I had no bra, so I’m bare to him. His eyes darken again as he dips his head taking my left n**ple into his mouth. I arch my back and I can’t help the moan that escapes me. His mouth is amazing and I love the attention on my breasts. He moves to my other n**ple as he presses me flat on the mattress.
He leans back, grabbing the waistband of my pants pulling them down my legs. He looks at my naked body and I can see his wolf is at the surface. His eyes return to their beautiful blue color before he climbs up my body. He kisses me and I can feel the tingles where our skin touches. I feel like I could c*m just from this kiss. When he pulls away and moves down my body, I watch as he kisses my mound. I bite my lower lip realizing what he is about to do. I can’t look away as he licks from my opening to my clit. I throw my head back and grip the sheets as he sucks my cl*t into his mouth. I feel his finger at my opening and he continues to lap at my juices. “Eli, I’m going to c*m” I say with a breathy voice I don’t even recognize. I feel him insert another finger stretching me and I can feel the build as he pumps in and out. When he bites down lightly on my cl*t it pushes me over the edge and I scream out his name. Before I have time to recover, he climbs up my body. “You taste amazing and I plan to do that every day of our lives.” I smile and he kisses my lips, letting me taste myself on his lips.
Eli POV
Her body is so responsive and hearing her moan my name is making me hard as steel. I’m so grateful to the goddess for sending Calliope to me and Silas. I was an i***t to push her away. I pull back from the kiss and stare into her chocolate brown eyes. “Are you ready love?” “Yes, please Eli. I want you inside me. I want you to mark me and make me yours.” I growl low, loving her declaration. I place my
c**k at her entrance. “This will hurt in the beginning and I’ll make you feel really good I promise.” “I’m ready Eli.” I push forward kissing her as I do. When I reach her barrier, I push forward until I’m seated to the root. I don’t move giving her time to adjust. Everything in me wants to move and show her how crazy she is making me. “Eli please, f**k me now.” I smile and start to move. She is so tight and her moans are making it too hard to maintain my control. I need her to c*m again before I let myself fall over the edge. I start to move faster and I can tell she is getting close. I’m shocked when I feel her canines pierce my skin. I swear I see stars and I can’t hold back my own pleasure. I pump a few more times before I start to empty my seed into her body. I bend down biting down into her marking spot, sealing our bond and making her mine. She screams out my name before we both stop moving trying to catch our breath.
I place my head against hers just enjoying being inside her. “That was amazing” I say and she smiles. “Yes, it was. You are amazing, Eli, and I’m so grateful that the goddess chose you for me. I love you, Eli.” I can see the regret on her face as soon as she says the last part. I lean down kissing her lips. I never want her to feel like she can’t say that to me. I run my fingers down her cheek. “I love you, Calliope, and I will show you every day for the rest of our lives.” I roll off and pull her back to my front. I breathe in her scent and I know she is close to falling asleep. “Eli, I understand if you want to stay here with Faith while I go talk to the pack tomorrow.” I stiffen and pull her tighter in my arms. “I will be joining you for the trip tomorrow and we can bring Faith with us. My father and Micah and Mason can handle the pack for a few hours.” She turns in my arms to face me and presses her lips to mine. “Thank you for coming with me to the pack. I love you Eli and I love Faith like my own pup. I will always protect you both.” I press a kiss on her forehead and say a prayer of thanks to the goddess for this second chance for a broken Alpha. I can already feel the pieces of my heart mending back together.
