Fox Shifter novel Chapter 24

I looked outside the window and realized how late it was. It was probably late afternoon when I brought Sky back. The sky outside was darkening.

My mate took my hand and dragged me upstairs. I stumbled on the stairs due to all the running. He stopped and picked me up. Through the rocking of my mate's footsteps, I slowly drifted off to sleep.

Midnight

Sky's POV

I gasped and blinked my eyes open. I stared at the ceiling. Wait a second, wasn't I in the cell?

Look around you idiot says Snow

You've got eyes for a reason Scarlet added

I rolled my eyes at them and looked around the room. The king sized bed, the walk in closet, the bathroom door to the right. Austin

I sat upright on the bed. I strained my ears for any sounds of my mate.

I heard water in the shower running and sighed. A minute later, Austin walked out wrapped in a towel.

Oh my....

Snow and Scarlet are literally drooling in my head.

"Austin..."

Once he heard my voice, he appeared next to me checking me everywhere.

"Are you hurt? Do you need the pack doctor? Are you in any pain? Are-"

I pressed my mouth against his, making him shut up. He kissed back hungrily. His hands trailed down my sides, gripping onto my waist. He licked my bottom lip asking for entrance. I opened my mouth and his tongue dove in, mixing our saliva together. He started kissing down my neck to my collarbone.

I felt his canines extend and grazed the skin. He pulled back, his eyes asking for permission. Those eyes, the ones that are always gentle and full of love. The way he watches and takes care of the whole pack. I would give up anything to see those eyes everyday, his warm smile. Love. I'm in love with him.

I smiled and nodded, allowing him permission. He resumed his kisses down my neck. Once he reached my collarbone, he sank his teeth in without hesitation. I winced from the sting.

He retracted his canines and kissed my mark. I shivered against him. I pulled back and looked from his eyes to his neck, asking if I can mark him. He nodded.

I laid him down on the bed and kissed him. He groaned and tightened his grip. I leave soft kisses down his neck. When I reached his collarbone, my canines lengthened and I plunged them into his skin. I heard a soft growl and I silenced him when I put my mouth against his.

The kisses slowed down to soft and gentle ones. With one last kiss on my nose, he loosened his grip on my waist and I rolled over next to him on the bed. He put his arm around me and I snuggled in close.

"I love you, Sky."

"Love you too, Aussie."

He chuckled, "Don't call me that."

I smiled and closed my eyes, "Too late."

And we both drifted off to sleep.

Next Morning

You lazy bones said Scarlet

Oh shush, you know you love being in our mate's arms

She humphed and went silent.

Once we walked into the kitchen, food was piled on top of every plate. Bacon, eggs, hash browns..

My mouth watered. Without warning, I rolled out of Austin's arm, yes I literally rolled, and dove for my plate. He frowned and walked towards my seat. He picked me up and sat me on his lap. He grabbed the fork out of my hands and stabbed a piece of bacon, bringing it up to my mouth.

"Aww... you guys are goals!!" Chloe awed.

"Wait until you find your mate," I said smirking.

"Nope, I won't allow it until she turns eighteen," Austin cuts in.

"Hey-!"

"Nope."

She sighed and frowned at her brother. I caught her eye and winked. She smiled and went back to her food.

I see Liam snaking his fork towards my plate. I narrowed my eyes at him. When his fork almost touched my eggs, I kicked his chair, making him fall backwards.

"Hey! What did I do?!" He exclaimed, getting up and rubbing the back of his head.
