Christopher's POV

I knew I would be unable to sleep this night because I feared that I might lose her as soon as my eyes were closed. I had claimed her, that was true but I still needed to mark her but I wanted to give her time. So I kept looking at her in wonder. Mating had never been this great for me, before.

I wondered what Christopher would say and do when he smelt me on Millicent in the morning. Well, the morning will take care of itself.

Millicent touched my cheek and I smiled, because I had wanted to do the same to assure myself that she was real and not a phantom.

I knew I had tired her but she seems unwilling like I was to fall asleep.

'Did you like it?' I asked, sure that she did but wanting to hear it from her.

'Was my response and scream of ecstasy not enough for you to know you did a great job?' she countered.

That was not the answer I was hoping for but the way she said it as though she was not going to give me the satisfaction of knowing her true feelings concerning our mating was so amusing that I laughed heartily. Turning her over, I had her on me and kissed her with all of my love.

'I enjoyed it extremely!' I said looking into her eye. 'There's no shame in admitting it, you know'. I thought for a while, then, while caressing her face, I said, 'I am aware you do not have any experience to build on or on which to lay your comparison but I have and I can assure you, this was the greatest and best mating I have had my whole life and that is saying alot because, I have mated with alot of females, humans and otherwise'.

I may have hard alot of female in the past but I was satisfied with this one and I was happy that I was her first and if I have a say in it and I do or will make it my business to, I was also going to be her last.

I should allow her sleep but I was already getting excited again. I knew I could never have enough of her. Now that I've had her, I wasn't going to let her go. She was mine forever!

'Take it easy, please', she said. 'Forever is a long time!'

I looked at her shocked. She looked at me, uncomprehending.

'Did you just read my mind?' I asked.

'Did I?' she asked, puzzled. 'I thought you spoke out loud. Come to think of it, I did not see your lips moving. So, are you saying I have the gift of reading minds?'

'I know so', I said, smiling and hugging her. 'You are a great one, my Luna!'

'But I have never been able to do that before now', I protested.

'You might have come into it because we mated', I said. 'Mating, sometimes releases some unknown and hidden gifts, especially if you mate with your fated mate'.

'Oh!' she said simply.

I was happy my Luna had some great and uncommon gifts. I wanted to help her uncover more but right now, I wanted to get her insane with lust for me and plunge into her. I wanted to feel again the magic that we both make.

'I'd like that as well', she said.

I looked at her shocked, then remembered she was an avid mind reader.How could I forget so soon?

I nodded. There was no need for more words. We just went ahead to excite each other, tearing each other apart as our need for each other built up. As she reached her peak, she dug her nails into my back, clawing me. She did this with the intensity of her orgasm and the welcome pain mingled with the intense pleasure her tight cunt was giving me, made me lose control and I jerked once again as pleasure washed over me.

As I eased out of her this time, I found that she was already sleepy.

'Thank you so much, my Alpha for a wonderful night', she said, her head falling on my shoulders. And she was sound asleep. I looked at her and chuckled. Then I lay her gently back on the bed, propping a pillow under her head.

I lay for a long time staring at her, my heart bursting with love for her. We had not even thought nor discussed it but we had ended up spending the night together. I didn't give a damn. At least now, Sylvester will have to let go of her and to make sure of that I'll have to mark her. But she was already sleeping. First thing, tomorrow morning, I thought, I'll mark her and then we would both great the pack as Alpha and Luna.

With that marvellous thought in my heart, I surrendered myself to sleep.

I woke, stretching and when I felt myself naked, I recalled the magical night I had spent with my love, Millicent. The thought alone got me nodding in no time and I turned around to pull her into my arms but my hands fell on an empty space. I looked around the bed but Millicent was not in bed with me.

'Millicent dear', I called gently 'Come out now. I am ravenous for you!' I said, thinking she had gone into the restroom.

When there was no response, I smiled and got up from the bed, she probably wanted me to come get her and maybe we could shower together. That was a marvellous idea, mating under the shower in the bathtub. I smiled but it froze on my face when I found no Millicent in the restroom.

I felt that she must have gone back to her room. She must have felt shy asking up with me. But why would she be shy? We had shared everything with each other.

I was going to throw a shirt over my body and go to her room and carry her back into my room and my bed when I saw a piece of paper on the bedside table. I did not know what drew my attention to it but I walked towards it, an inexplicable fear gnawing my heart.

I picked the paper and what I read got my heart thumping. No, no! Not now! Why would Millicent do this to me?'

Millicent's POV

We kept staring at each other as we lay side by side, till our breathing returned to normal.

I felt sleepy but I just didn't want to sleep just yet. I wanted to be sure I was really the one who experienced all those delicious feelings. I touched, Christopher on his cheek and he smiled.

'Did you like it?' he asked, with male pride.

'Was my response and scream not enough for you to know you did a great job?' I countered coquettishly. He wanted me to say it was the best lay and it was, though I didn't have any backup experience, I just knew that it was exquisite, the best anyone could get.

He laughed and turning me over till I was on him. He kissed me tenderly and I almost cried. What did I do to deserve this great man?

'I enjoyed it extremely!' he said looking into my eye. 'There's no shame in admitting it, you know'. He furrowed his brows in thought and then, while caressing my face, said, 'I am aware you do not have any experience to build on or lay your comparison but I have and I can assure you, this was the greatest and best mating I have had my whole life and that is saying alot because, I have mated with alot of humans, both humans and otherwise'.

I felt jealous of those other females but consoled myself that they were with him before my time and he loves our time together, best.

Suddenly, I heard him say, 'I should allow her sleep. I know I can never have enough of her. Now that I've had her, I wasn't going to let her go. She was mine forever!'

'Take it easy, please', I said. 'Forever is a long time!'

He looked shocked as he stared at me. I didn't know what I had said wrong.

'Did you just read my mind?' he asked.

'Did I?' I asked, puzzled. 'I thought you spoke out loud. Come to think of it, I did not see your lips moving. So, are you saying I have the gift of reading minds?'

'I know so', he said, smiling and hugging me. 'You are a great one, my Luna!'

'But I have never been able to do that before now', I protested.

'You might have come into it because we mated', I said. 'Mating, sometimes releases some unknown and hidden gifts, especially if you mate with your fated mate'.

'Oh!' she said simply, then read Christopher again,

'I wanted to help her uncover more gifts but right now, I wanted to get her insane with lust for me and plunge into her. I want to feel again the magic that we both make.

'I'd like that as well', I said, already feeling aroused. So, it was possible to mate more than once in a short space of time?

He nodded. And without saying any other thing, as though in silent agreement, we tore at each, our desires obviously not sated but whetted.Soon he was inside me riding me menacingly. And to tell the truth, I'd have it no other way.

Just like the mating, my release was fiercely intense and I dug my nails into Christopher's back, clawing him. and I felt him jerk as he came violently. The pleasure really rocked our bodies and soul violently. If I had praised him for the former, then I should be worshipping him for this for it was far better. But I felt both alive and drained at the same time and I couldn't keep my eyes open.

'Thank you so much, my Alpha for a wonderful night', I said, my last thought being that, that was the first I had called Christopher Alpha. He was indeed my Alpha. Then my head fell on his shoulders.

Sometime later, I woke. I spent sometime, looking at Christopher as he slept. He was so handsome. So strong and romantic. He was a great lover. He had not disappointed me at all. He had rather exceeded all my expectations of how a mate should mate with his mate. I blushed. I felt a rush of love for him, he looked so much like a young boy. Then I felt a rush of desire. I could wake him to love me again but to what end?

Sylvester would surely smell him on me in the morning and know what had transpired. Then he would go ahead and make good his threat to end Christopher's life. I refused to be held responsible for my mate's death. I'd rather go away.

So I quickly looked around the room and found what I was looking for in a drawer close to the bed.

'Dear Alpha Christopher,

By the time you read this note, I shall have been long gone.

You are indeed a great lover and fated mate but I can't stay. You have just made me realise that I have alot of things to discover. I am not ready yet to be tied down as any one Alpha's Luna. I hope you understand?

You are free to taste as many women as you possibly can. Do not wait for me because I shan't be coming back and please, do not look for me. If you really love me like you claim, then you will let me go!

Love, Millicent.

After writing this short note to Christopher, I folded it and left it on the bedside table where I felt sure he would find it easily. I felt hurried. I rushed into my room, threw a few clothes into a backpack and rushed out before I could change my mind.

I went to the stream and had a dip, quickly washing myself and then put my clothes back on. Then I ran because all of a sudden, I felt, Christopher calling for me.

'What are you doing?' Milly asked, very sad. 'We were very happy, infact exquisitely happy last night and this morning you are fleeing? Are you immune to happiness?'

'Milly, please. You like Christopher alot, don't you?' I asked.

'I like Zara, his wolf so much more!' she sulked.

'They are one and the same and if we don't do this, if I do not flee from here, he might die in the hands of Sylvester!'

'But he is a great warrior!' Milly insisted.

'Sylvester dies not play by the rules', I said. 'This is what I have been trying to tell you. He is ruthless and heartless and would not think twice before murdering his own twin!' I paused to catch my breath. 'That is why I could never live and truely desire him!'

Then all of a sudden, I felt someone leaping towards our direction and I started running but they caught up with us and fell on me. Both of us rolled on the floor. It was Christopher. I was happy to see him but I knew I had to say or do anything that would make him let me go.

'What do you think you're doing?' he was panting.

'I should be asking you that!' I replied, harshly. 'What do you think you are doing? Are you planning on breaking my limbs?'

My words shocked him. What had I done wrong? he thought.

'You did nothing wrong but I have to leave. We have no future together!' I said, reading his thoughts.

'You don't really believe that, do you?' he asked, incredulous.

'Oh, but I do!'

'What about last night? Did it not mean anything to you?' he asked, not believing me. I had to make him believe I did not care for him.

'What about it?' I asked, nonchalantly. 'We both wanted to scratch an itch and we have done that and are both relieved of it. At least I am. What more do you want?' I asked carelessly.

He pulled me roughly into his arms and kissed me. And I wanted nothing more than to melt into his arms and allow him have his way with me, doing to me, what he knew how to do best.

'I want you. I love you and I know you want and love me as well!' he said confidently. His hands finding their way under my blouse to my breasts.

'You are mistaken! I may have wanted you last night, but I do not want you anymore. I need to go discover other places and packs, meet others, compare...' I knew my words hurt him as I had intended because they hurt me as well because they were not the truth.

Instead of pushing me away, like I thought he would, he kissed me demandingly, forcing my mouth open. 'How could you not want this?' Milly asked in my head.

How could I not want this? I echoed as my feelings for him and the lust he was igniting in me took over...

I opened my mouth and kissed him back and he went berserk.

His hands found my breasts, and he tore my blouse off me, sinking his teeth into my breasts which were still sore from our intense mating last night, I whimpered and moaned wantonly as he sucked my sore nipples. The pain from the soreness intensified the pleasure I felt. I threw my hands round him and he groaned. His hands started caressing my body down to my buttocks. He cupped my buttocks, drawing it close to his hard length which was very erect and nodding.

Then I came back to my senses. The longer I stayed with him, the more likely, Sylvester would find me with him and in a compromising position and then he would kill my mate, my life. Christopher was now my life!

I pleaded with him in my head and begged him to understand that I was doing this for us. I pushed him away from me with all of my strength. He was not on guard, and before he could regain his senses and realise what had happened, I picked my blouse and backpack and ran off with my incredible speed, masking my scent.

Christopher's POV

I was not going to believe that Millicent had left me.

I rushed into her room. She must be dressing in readiness for her flight.

'I shall stop you from this grievous mistake you want to make Millicent!' I vowed as I rushed into her room. She was not there. I flung her bed covers aside, still no Millicent. I went into her bathroom, no Millicent.

Confirming that she was not in her room and in the building, I raced to our favourite spot - the stream but she was not there either but I smelt her. Her smell was very faint.

I followed her scent, racing into the bushes, Zara was urging me on. We need to find our mate! He spoke in my head and I agreed hundred percent with him. Soon, her scent became stronger and then I heart the sound of racing and without thought, I raced after the racer, sure it was Millicent.

I caught up with her. And leapt on her, falling her to the ground. and falling beside her as we rolled on the ground together, due to the impact of our collision and fall.

'What do you think you're doing?' I asked, panting.

'I should be asking you that!' she said, harshly. 'What do you think you are doing? Are you planning on breaking my limbs?'

I was shocked. What had I done wrong?

'You did nothing wrong but I have to leave. We have no future together?' she said, reading my thoughts.

'You don't really believe that, do you?' I asked.

'Oh, but I do!'

'What about last night? Did it not mean anything to you?' I asked, not believing my ears nor the turn of events.

'What about it?' She asked, nonchallantly. 'We both wanted to scratch an itch and we have done that and are both relieved of it. At least I am. What more do you want?' she threw at me carelessly.

I was dreaming. I couldn't be hearing this correctly. What happened between last night and this morning to cause this twist?

I pulled her roughly into my arms and kissed her. 'I want you. I love you and I know you want and love me as well!' My hands finding their way under her blouse to her breasts.

'You are mistaken! I may have wanted you last night, but I do not want you anymore. I need to go discover other places and packs, meet others, compare...'

Her words hurt but I needed to make her see that she still wanted me. I kissed her demandingly, forcing her mouth open. How could she not want this? How could she not want me? She was only pretending, and I intend to find out the reason she felt she had to act this way. She opened her mouth and kissed me back... And I lost it.

I had started out to prove to her that what we had was not just an itch but but a great unbreakable bond but the feel of Millicent in my arms drove me crazy with want. This - loving and feeling - was what I had wanted us to do this morning, but we could do it here as well. The place our 'love mating' was done, did not matter, what mattered were just the people and the emotion behind it. And the feeling behind this was overpowering.

My hands found her breasts, and I tore her blouse off her, sinking my teeth into her soft breasts, she whimpered and moaned loudly as I sucked her nipples. She threw her hands round me and I groaned. My hands started caressing her body down to her buttocks. I cupped her buttocks, drawing it close to my shaft which was engorged with blood and nodding his consent to what I intended doing.

All of a sudden, Millicent pushed me off her, picked her blouse and raced off.

I was caught unawares. I hadn't expected that move from her, I had been so carried away, that I had let down my guard. I was dazed from my lust and couldn't think fast just then. I got up and ran after her when I realised what had happened but could not find her. I ran through the length and breath of the perimeter but there was no sign of her. She couldn't be that fast. I caught her this morning when she had had a head start, why would I not find her now that I started chasing her almost immediately she took off? I took off again, covering the areas I had thought were not important but still no sign of Millicent. Rather, it was as though I was running in circles.

I tried to sniff her, so I could follow her scent. I was surely going to bring her back. But I could no longer smell her and I knew she must have masked her scent.

'Millicent!' I howled thunderously. 'Millicent!' But there was no answer.

I fell on my knees and beat my clutched fist into the ground as I felt my heart being torn from me. 'Millicent!' I kept howling in anguish. The pain I felt was terrible. I clutched my heart.' 'Millicent!' I groaned. 'Why did you do this to us?'

I tried once more to find her, running in the direction I had seen her go but it was fruitless. I howled and howled her name but instead of Millicent, some wolves close by came in response to my call. They stood at a distance, staring at me. I must have looked terrible because none dared come close.

I fell down and lay there, wriggling in pain. I do not know how much time I spent there, but I felt that I still have a duty to my pack as their Alpha and it would not do for them to see me as devastated as I was. It was my personal problem, and I would deal with it. I was going to find Millicent if it was the last thing I did! I stood after that resolution and went back to the mansion.
