I pulled back again, my face hot, my body even hotter. Still, I tried to stay firm. “Night Shepherd. Dr. Stan said you can’t do anything strenuous. You have to take it easy because—and I can’t believe I have to remind you of this—you were shot with a silver bullet.”
His smirk became a wolfish grin. “So caring, so considerate, even when I can smell the perfume of your arousal.” His hand slipped lower, his finger stroking up and down my slit. “And you’re already dripping wet.”
“N-Night…” Despite my best efforts, his name came out like a moan rather than a reprimand. “You should be resting…”
“So help me rest.” He circled around and around my clit until I was shivering and biting my lip. His eyes were bright with hunger. “I promise I won’t move.”
I groaned even as I straddled him. “I can’t believe I let you talk me into this.”
“Can’t you?”
I kissed him, just to wipe that sexy smirk off his lips, and pushed away the covers so his erection could stand free. I let my tongue run along his bottom lip as I positioned him at my entrance. I swallowed his growl as I teased him, stroking the tip of his penis back and forth, getting him slick with my lust. I broke the kiss with a giggle that turned into a moan as I finally let him inside me.
“Mm, Bryn…” he moaned. He pulled the sash that held my robe closed and watched me take in every inch of him. “Fuck, you’re so beautiful.”
His hands slipped around my waist as I began to gently ride him. I wrapped my arms around his neck, peppering him in kisses, trailing down to the spot where I’d bitten him. I didn’t want to excite him too much, as much as he filled my body with tingling pleasure, but I couldn’t resist licking him there and tasting the salt of his skin. He’d already worked me up before I started riding him, and I knew it wouldn’t take much to send me over that sweet edge.
His breaths came in quick pants, his fingers pressing more firmly into my waist. The robe slipped down my shoulders, raising goosebumps down my arms. Though I was going slow and easy, he filled me up just right. On each bounce, I felt him pressing against that special spot, sending me closer and closer to my peak.
One of his hands caressed up my back to bury into my hair. “I love you,” he murmured.
“I-I love you t—ohh…” My orgasm eased over me, like a warm bubble bath. It seeped into my muscles, relaxing every tense or aching inch. My sweet, shivering bliss was punctuated by Night’s climax. He hissed his pleasure, filling me with his hot cum.
“Mate,” I whispered, pressing my forehead to his.
“Mate,” he replied, and held me close.

Later that day, Night, ignoring Dr. Stan’s advice again, came with me to the council meeting. He could get around pretty well, but I knew he was in pain. Every time he had to step over something, he clenched his jaw. It was a subtle cue but one I picked up on easily. I carefully wrapped my arm around his waist as we made our way slowly to the meeting room.
As we walked, I caught him up on the results of last night’s attack.
“I hate that we suffered so many casualties,” he said. “I hate that we were all so unprepared for something like this.”
“I know. I’m hoping this meeting will help us nail down what exactly happened.”
“It better. Otherwise it’ll be a goddamn waste of time.”
We were the last to enter, and as such, we drew the attention of everyone in attendance. If there were any real discussion going on, it would have gone silent. Dom, Tavi, Violet, and my mom were there already, as were the Elders of both packs, the council, and several fighters from both packs.
Dom took over for me at Night’s side. He was insistent that he was fine and could walk on his own, but Dom ignored him, guiding Night toward his own vacant chair. They hadn’t expected Night to attend, so there would otherwise have only been a chair for me.
One of the Kings’ fighters, a man who was several decades older than Night, stood and made a beeline for Night and Dom. Dom held out his hand to stop the man, and he paused. Now this fighter had everyone’s attention.
“What do you need?” Night asked.
“I—” His hands clenched at his sides. “My name is Theodore. The young wolf you saved last night is my son. He told me that if not for you, he’d be dead. I just wanted to thank you for that, Alpha Shepherd.” He unclenched his hand and offered it.
Such a display of gratitude would have made a lesser Alpha preen or blush, but Night did neither. Instead, he took the man’s hand and shook.
“I appreciate this,” he said, “but it’s not necessary. I will always protect the wolves who fight by my side.”
The man’s gruff expression lightened somewhat as an almost-smile touched his lips. He said nothing, but some sort of understanding seemed to pass between him and Night. I smiled to myself and sat in the seat that Tavi had saved me.
I cleared my throat, pulling the attention of the room again. “What have we got so far?”
