Chapter Four

Two days later Karina was ready to make wolf meat out of Rolf. After the incident in the shower he had been treating her as if she was made of glass. He had brought her pleasure, but he wouldn’t come inside her again... like her body craved. She was going crazy in her skin. Finally she had had enough.

“Rolf do you want me to burn up from the inside?” she yelled at him as he lay beside her on the bed.

“Are you hurting? Let me help you.” He said pulling her towards him.

“Rolf, look at me. I am hurting. I need you in me now.” She said fervently. “I need all of you.”

“We can’t. You are too sore from the first time.”

“I’m not too sore, but I might die if you don’t take me now. Please Rolf, I need you inside... my insides are burning.”

He looked at her intensely. For the first time in days, she felt he was really seeing her. “I’m sorry I should have been taking care of you. I’ve really not good with this, am I?”

“It’s not too late,” she said pulling him close.

He pushed her down on the bed and covered her with his body. She loved how his big body felt on top of hers. He brought his mouth down and boldly kissed her. She felt him separate her legs.

With one stroke he thrust into her and she groaned with relief. He moved deep inside her and started pumping. She felt one hand come down and tease her clit. Her hips bucked and he forcefully entered her again and again. Her lips left his as she yelled out “Rolf”.

She felt a force swirl through her and the pressure build up until she finally shattered. He soon followed with a groan. They both collapsed with him still inside her.

She woke up to something insider her growing. She was on top of Rolf and they were still connected. He must have been aroused all night.

“Finally” he said. “I thought you would never wake up.”

He roughly pumped out and then back in.

“You feel amazing,” he groaned. Now this she could get used to she thought with a grin.

A couple hours later as they both lay back exhausted, her stomach growled. They had both been so consumed that food had been the furthest thing from her mind.

He chuckled. “I’d better feed you before our next round.”

The next day she lay against him on the couch. They were enclosed in each other’s arms staring out at the fast forest. It felt so perfect. They seemed to have so much in common. They had just been talking about books, and she was surprised about how their opinions seemed to match on everything.

“This has been the most fantastic week, and I feel amazing. Does that mean we are fully mated?” she asked.

He shifted as if uncomfortable. “We have one final step.”

“What is it?” she asked curiously.

“I need to take you one more time,” he said

Turning to lay on top of him she said, “Well let’s get to it.”

“No, it’s not that simple. I’ll be half turned,” he said looking into her eyes.

“I don’t understand.”

Still staring at her, as if to gage her reaction, he said, “The wolf needs to take you too. That’s the final step of mating.”

“A wolf, how could that work?”

“The wolf will be present but it will still be me. Maybe it would be easier to show you.” He stood up off the couch and faced toward her. She saw his eyes turn yellow and his hair seemed to grow longer. He shoulders expanded even larger along with his torso. His legs became bigger and harrier as well. His cock seemed to jut out further, and his teeth extended.

She felt her body respond. “Oh my, what big teeth you have Rolf.”

He stared down at the vee between her legs. “The better to eat you with, my dear,” he said with a growl.

The voice sent shivers down her, and she felt her body melt. He stared up at her with those yellow eyes and then slowly turned back to normal.

“That...you are going to take me like that?” she said breathlessly.

“Yes. And you will be on all fours. He wants you very badly. I’m having a hard time controlling the wolf.”

“There’s no need,” she said standing up and coming closer to him. “I’m ready Rolf.”

As if in response his eyes started to turn yellow.

“You’d better run. The wolf wants you now!”

She loved the teasing and sprinted up the stairs. She heard him behind her as she ran into their bedroom.

She turned around and he said, “Get on the bed.”

She quickly obeyed and crawled to the middle of the bed.

“Lay on your stomach,” he commanded.

As soon she had turned over she felt the bed dip and a hand come around her stomach. It lifted her up until her legs were separated and her pussy in the air.

She felt a kiss on her neck and both hands moved her front. They roughly grabbed her breasts and started squeezing. The painful sensation made her gasp. They started tugging on her tips and she almost came. The pain eased as the hands became gentler. They kneaded her sensitive breasts, every once in a while grazing her extended peaks. It was amazing.

She then felt the head of his cock enter her pussy. She heard a growl from behind her and then the cock drove in. It was hot and hard.

It started pumping in and out, as his body loomed over her and held her down. Her body felt possessed by his, like she finally belonged to him. The heat within her was radiating out and a power was swirling inside. She was going to come any minute.

“Mine, my mate,” she heard him say in a gruff voice. “You’re mine now!” His words caused her to push against him wanting him to come harder inside her.

He must have sensed this because he grabbed her hips and started driving in with unparalleled speed. Every movement was sending her higher.

She felt his mouth again on her neck and just when she was about to come something bit down. She came harder than she ever had. She heard his howled release as she passed out on the bed.

********

She woke up to a ringing telephone. She moaned... “Rolf, get the phone.”

There was no response so she looked around and noticed he wasn’t in the room. With a groan she reached over and answered the phone.

“Hello,” she said sleepily.

“Kar? Is that really you?” a sweet voice said on the other line.

“Missy!” she cried out ecstatically.

“It really is you, right? I’ve been trying to reach you guys, but Rolf must have taken the phone of the hook, and I didn’t know your cell,” Missy said. “How’d everything go? When are you getting married?”

“Uh... I don’t know. He’s hasn’t asked me,” she said sitting up in the bed.

“He hasn’t asked you? Are you sure?” Missy sounded surprised.

“Missy, of course I’m sure. Wouldn’t I know?”

She heard a sigh on the phone. “That dumb brother. Don’t worry he’ll ask you soon. I’m so excited that we are going to be sisters.”

Marriage? Was she ready for marriage? “Now hold on Missy. This is all new to me, I’m not sure if I’m ready for that step.” Karina said speedily.

“What do you mean? What’s the hold up? You’re mates, and now you can live happily ever after.”

Happily ever after, was that possible? She got off the bed and looked out at the forest. “I don’t know. I mean, I really do feel that I love him, but how do I know he really wants me? That it’s not just some wolf mojo making him want me?”

“You are the perfect match for him, that’s how it works,” Missy said with enthusiasm.

“I just don’t know. I want him to love me for me, you know?” she said.

“He does. Kar just listen to me. I’ve know you both. You’re perfect for each other. And maybe he hasn’t said it, but I’m sure he loves you. He just a dumb boy who doesn’t realize we need to hear it. Maybe you should say it first?” Missy said.

“I don’t know, maybe. I feel like I can’t think here. Plus, he’s 12 years older than me,” she said worried. What she really meant was... How could he really want someone like her? She wasn’t sophisticated or beautiful. He hasn’t even said he loved me, she thought. “I think I just need some time away. You know, to wrap my head around all this. It happened so fast.”

She heard something behind her and turned around.

Rolf was standing there looking dumbstruck.

“Missy, I’ve gotta go. I’ll talk to you later,” she said.

“But Kar... you.” She hung up the phone and turned back to Rolf.

“Is that really what you want?” Rolf asked.

“What I really want?” she repeated not understanding.

“You know what...it doesn’t matter,” he said forcefully. “I don’t want you here anymore. You need to leave!”

“What? What are you talking about Rolf?”

“You heard me. Get out!” She reached out toward him, but he didn’t see. He had left the room, slamming the door behind him.

What just happened? Mates can’t lie, so for some reason Rolf didn’t want her anymore. She felt the tears fall down her face. He really didn’t love her. It had all just been some genetic need.

She quickly picked the phone back up and called her grandmother.

“Nana? I need—I need you to come pick me up.”

“What happened? Are you okay?” she said worriedly.

“No, I’m not okay,” letting a sob slip through. “Please just come to Rolf’s house and pick me. I’ll—I’ll explain it later.”

“I’ll be right there,” her grandmother said.

She quickly got dressed and went out to the front steps to wait. She didn’t even have the energy to pack her clothes.

Her grandmother pulled up 15 minutes later. Karina ran into her familiar arms and started sobbing again.

“Let’s go.”

“What about your luggage?” her grandmother asked looking around.

“I just need to leave,” Karina said as she opened the side door.

“Okay honey.”

********

He watched as she left with her grandmother. It had taken all his self-control not to run out and pull her out of the car. How had everything gone wrong? He thought. One minute he had been thinking about how he would propose to her, and then the next she was gone.

He looked down at the ring still in his hand. If only he hadn’t heard her say that she wanted to leave. Maybe he should have convinced her stay? But no. He flung the ring down on the table. His words had been truthful. He didn’t want her here if it made her unhappy. She was his mate, and it would kill him to see her walk out, but her happiness was more important.

How was he going to go on living though? Already the pain inside him nearly blinded him. Her smell was everywhere. He quickly ripped his clothes off. He ran outside and let the wolf take over.
