Look Through My Eyes (Second bk of Acceptance Series) (Completed)

Chapter 23- Thomas (Edited)

I paced the length of the hardwood floor, my heart pounding in my chest. I was nervous, no terrified of what had happened to Sam. I didn't know what was wrong, but it couldn't be good because of how much pain she sounded like she was in.

'Mate's in heat,' Kyran said, causing me to stop pacing. 'She is on her way.' Pain filled his voice, and I was sure that it was because Sam was in pain. He and I were sure that we wouldn't be able to help her, not yet at least.

Sam ran into the room, her eyes flickering between hers and her wolfs. Her body relaxed slightly when she caught sight of me and sighed in relief. "I am in heat," she said, not acting like a normal Wolf in heat. "And, it was from four years ago to now. Kerri had given me a pill to stop my heat, and she took me off of it."

"Why?" I asked, furrowing my brows. I was confused, and I did not like the fact that my Wolf was trying to come out and mark her. I pushed him back and gritted my teeth together, trying to control myself.

Sam shrugged her shoulder. "She and Addama said something about "magical powers", but I don't know what she means. Kerri did say that I will not be able to get off heat until we had sex."

"But, what if you will regret it?" I asked. Doubt filled my eyes, and I couldn't help but hate my insecurities. I wanted to love her and get to know this Sam before I had made love with her. I wouldn't regret having sex with her with now, because I knew that it wouldn't just be sex for me. It would be making love.

Sam's eyes softened, and I couldn't help but wonder as to what she saw. "I will not regret it," she said, honestly. "I do lo-, no I am in love with you. I want to be your Luna, your partner. I do want to wait too, but right now, I can't. I hate that Kerri placed this spell on me, but I do understand that it is almost time for me to face whomever I need."

"And you need my help?"

"And, I need your help."

"And you won't regret it?"

Sam shook her head.

And with that, I kissed her on the lips before showing her how much I loved her. I wanted her to feel like a queen and showed her that I didn't care about all the scars she had, because we all had them. Some were just hidden more than others.

I laid down beside my mate, both of us naked underneath the blanket. A smile flickered onto my face when I felt sparks move up and down my arm. "I could get used to this," I said, opening my eyes and looking down at her.

Sam looked up at me and smiled. "Good morning," she said, leaning her head on my shoulder. She closed her eyes, and for the first time, I could see how exhausted she actually was. "I would like to stay like this, but I have work today." She started to sit up but squeaked when I pulled her down and got on top of her.

I looked down at her and kissed her mark, causing her whole body to react and move towards me. The bond was stronger than ever, and I prayed that neither of us would regret it. "Are you sure that you don't want to stay here?" I asked, my voice husky. I pecked at her mark, causing her to growl, teasingly. "Hmmm?"

"I am sure," she said, slightly breathless. "I would let me up if I were you," she added, blinking back a dazed look.

"But what if I don't want to?" I asked, smirking down at her. "I kind of like thi-" I wasn't able to finish my sentence because as soon as I knew it, I was on my back with my hands cuffed in one strong hand. "What the hell..?"

Sam stared down at me, smirking. Her blonde hair didn't cover her face because she still kept it short, and I honestly liked it short. It showed more of her face and the personality that she had. "You talk too much," she said, causing me to roll my eyes. "And, I was serious about letting me up." She pecked my lips before hopping off of me, taking the blankets with her.

"Hey," I complained when I heard her chuckle. I watched as she disappeared into the attached bathroom, and for a moment, I wondered what it would be like taking a hot shower with someone I loved. "Why'd you do that for?"

Sam moved her head back into the bedroom, smirking. "Because, I can," she replied. She nodded to the clothes on the chair. "Kerri said those were for you. There is this potion that will hide my scent and mark. Make sure to use it every day."

"Why?" I asked.

Her eyes grew darker, and I couldn't help but wonder as to what had angered her. She knew something that she wasn't telling me, and I wished that she did. "Because," she said, her voice cold. "They will try to use you or our kid against me. I will not let that happen." With that, she disappeared back into the bathroom.

I laid back down and sighed. "Goddess, protect us," I muttered, moving my hand across my face. "Protect my mate. She's going to need it."
