Chapter Fourteen

The morning came quick. My activity last evening had worn me out and I slept like a baby. I would think my body would be satisfied for a little more than a few hours. My wolf is craving Caleb. It is hurting for him. Crap, I've felt this only once before. I just wasn't craving a certain person before. I'm in heat. I was hoping this wouldn't happen until later on, maybe even after the wedding. I'll have to try to keep distance between Caleb and I. He already is wanting to make love to me and I don't know if we can resist each other now. I go to the bathroom and find a strong-smelling soap; Passionfruit seems the strongest. I get in the shower and cover myself with a heavy lather of soap. I hope this will help subdue my heat scent. I get out the shower and dry off. Head to my closet. My whole room smells of passionfruit. Hopefully it will stick with me. I get my clothes on and head down for breakfast. I enter the dining hall and everyone is already sitting conversing. Caleb and his brother immediately look at me and take a deep sniff. Both of them look more aware of me. Not unusual for Caleb but it is of his brother. He barely pays attention to me. I wasn't successful in masking my heat. I walk over and take my seat next to Caleb. He looks at me with lust and a little drool in the corner of his mouth.

"You smell absolutely delicious this morning."

Really, thank you. I think. Hoping he hasn't realized what is going on. His brother still hasn't taken his eyes off of me. When a she wolf is in heat it is really difficult for the males to not want to mate with her. My first heat cycle my mother had me stay to my room and I was brought everything I needed there. It might be best to do that again. The servants bring in our breakfast and we begin to eat. The whole time Caleb is running his hand up and down my inner thigh. It is driving me so crazy. I want to straddle him and make love right here. But I must keep my composure. Once we finish Caleb says he needs to get to the office and his brother follows him. I ask Luna McClay if I may speak with her in private.

"Yes, my dear."

I don't know if you noticed but I'm in heat. Would it be too much trouble if I were to stay in my quarters until it passes? I think it would be best.

"No problem sweetie, I use to do the same thing until I got on birth control. It stops you from having a heat cycle. I did notice how my sons were looking at you. You just let Caroline know of anything you need and she will take care of it. Have you talked to Caleb about children and the birth control?"

"Good morning, Ms. Taylor. What can we help you with this morning?"

I would like to talk with Dr. Russell, if possible.

"No problem, just have a seat and I'll give call him."

A few minutes passed.

"Ms. Taylor, you can follow me."

I walk down the hall and into a room. I sit down in the chair next to the exam table. Dr. Russell comes walking in before Ann exits the room. His eyes widen and he sniffs the air.

"Oh, Ms. Taylor I think I know why you are here. You are ready for birth control."

Yes, Sir. As you can tell I'm in heat and I would like to have it to make things a little easier around here.

"No problem. You do know you can't start this until the day after your heat cycle ends. It usually lasts four days. I presume today is your first day."

Yes, I believe it may have been starting last night.

"That is fine but we will count today as the first day. Would you like pills to take every day or an injection every three months. If you want the injection, you will need to come back in four days to get it. We will also have to get a pregnancy test. Just as a precaution. Mostly everyone one is taking the injections now because you don't have to worry about forgetting to take the pill."

I think I'll go with the injection. I have a lot of stuff going on right now. I'm sure I'd forget it at some point.

"Ok Ms. Taylor, I'll have Ann put you into the computer for a birth control injection in four days. See you then. If you decide you don't want the injection just call us and cancel."

Ok I got that over with now I just need to discuss this with Caleb. I'm not sure if he wants to start a family during my next heat cycle or not. I think I'll go to his office and talk to him. I head to the other wing to the Alpha's office and knock on the door.

"Come in, Erica."

He knows it's me. Is my scent that strong? I step in the office and shut the door behind me. I stay at the door to keep some distance between us.

"Honey you can come over here and sit. I'm not going to bite you. Unless you want me too, snickering."

I go over to the chair and sit down. I need to talk to you about something.

"You are in heat. I know. I could smell you long before you entered the dining hall this morning. You have no idea how hard it is not to take you right here on this desk right now."

I'm so sorry. But I wanted to talk to you about me going on birth control and what do you think about it. I wouldn't be able to start it until after this heat cycle. Once I leave here, I am going to stay in my quarters until it's over.

"After we are married the pack will be awaiting the news of us suppling them with an heir. So, lets hold off on the birth control until we have our first baby. If you don't mind."

That is fine I have an appointment in four days for an injection but I can cancel it. I walk around the desk to him. He stands up and we kiss. His hands start running all over me and our breathing is getting heavy. We must stop. I pull away from him. He has so much lust in his eyes and his mouth is watering. I could feel his excitement. So, I know we needed to stop.

"Honey you are driving me mad. I want you. I need you so bad. I know being in heat with your mate present is driving you crazy also."

Caleb, it is driving me crazy. I'm wanting you so bad too. My body is aching for you. But we only have to make it a few more days and I'll be staying in my room. So maybe that will help. I best get to my room. I Love you, Caleb.

"I love you, too. Erica"

I leave the office and my body is aching for him. Oh, it hurts. I arrive at my room and go inside. This is going to be a long, boring four days. I know what I can do. I can get on the internet and get ideas for the wedding. I probably need to look at some brides made dresses. I want something in light yellow, long and with straps or short sleeves. I don't want it strapless since that is how my dress is. No not that one. So, of these have so much going on. I don't want them to overpower my dress which is very simple, just plain. Oh, that one is beautiful. A-Line, square neck, floor length, with ruffled short sleeves and it comes in Daffodil. It's perfect and they have it in town. I'll put it on the list with a couple sizes to bring for Katie to try on.

On to a veil. My dress is very plain. Maybe a veil with some embroidery on it. I wonder if I can find one with some light-yellow flowers on it. Oh, NO. That is too gaudy. This one isn't bad looking at all. The embroidery is only at the edge with light yellow and white flowers. Oh, is just enough to add a little something to my dress. I have to order it. It will take a week to get here. ORDERED!

I want some nice white strappy high-heels for the dress. I will just look what the local shoe store has. Those are cute, I think I'll get Katie and me matching shoes. I'll get Caroline to get two pair of these in a couple sizes that we might need. I'm getting so excited. Picking out this stuff is making it more real.

I need to look for a picture of a cake like I want to email to the baker. I scroll through pages and pages of pictures of cakes. Finally, I like that one. Round, three-tiers, smooth white frosting. A daffodil colored ribbon wrapped around the bottom of each layer. With white calla lilies cascading down one area of the cake and a few yellow roses intermingled in them. I'll copy this picture to an email for the baker. I'll also tell him to make each layer vanilla, and vanilla buttercream. Send.

I need to send an email to Caroline with the lists of things I'll need when my mom and Katie get here. I should also tell her the flowers I want. For the table arrangements I would like some to be long-stem yellow roses with baby's breath with fern greenery and some to be white calla lilies with fern greenery. The bouquets I will only need two, Katie's and mine. I want them to have yellow roses and white calla lilies mixed together. The boutonnieres, I would like to have two flowers in each. A yellow rose and a white calla lily. I also want table linens in daffodil and white. The tables with yellow roses get white linens and the tables with white calla lilies get daffodil-colored linens. Send.

I would like to go see the Alpha but I shouldn't be roaming around the palace while I'm in heat. I feel I need to make an appearance so he knows I am at least thinking of him. It's almost dinner time. I should be able to get down there without too much fuss. Everyone should be ending their work for today soon. I look out my room and don't see anyone. So, I go down to see the Alpha. I get on the second floor and see Ann at the desk.

"Ms. Taylor. Back so soon? I hope everything is ok."

Yes, all is fine with me. I was wondering if it would be possible for me to visit the Alpha.

"Sure, I'll take you."

We walk down the long hall and take several turns. There is a set of double doors ahead of us. She waves a card over a box on the wall and the doors open.

"His room is just to the left."

Thank you. I won't be long. The door is cracked so peak in. He appears to be sleeping. Suddenly the door comes open. It's Caleb. I had been in such a hurry to sneak down. I hadn't paid attention to his scent. His mother is sitting in a chair by his bed.

"I thought I smelt you. Thought you were staying in your room?"

I just wanted to come see the Alpha. I have been worried about him.

"Come on in. We can give you an update. The doctor said he is still weak but he has been awake more and feeding himself. Which is better than he was. They want to try getting him up tomorrow into a wheelchair."

That's good news.

"Yes, very. We are hoping to get him strong enough to at least be able to spend his last days moving about and not stuck in this bed."

When he wakes up let him know I came by and that I'm praying for him.

"We will"

I want them to be able to spend some time with him without me there. I know I was making it hard on Caleb. So, I head on up to my room. Caroline will probably be bringing my dinner soon. I arrive at my door and Caroline steps out from her room.

"Ms. Taylor. I received your email and I've been making arrangements for me to go into town to pick up these items. I have also contacted the florist that handles all the palace affairs. They will be emailing me with pictures of what they can do, for you to look over. I am heading down to get your dinner now."

Thank you, so much Caroline. You are a huge help.

"If you don't mind me asking. Have you thought about your dress? I didn't see any dresses to pick up for you to try."

I already have mine. I went shopping with my best friend before I moved in here. We found the perfect dress.

"That's great. I'll be right back with your food."

She wasn't gone but a few minutes and she steps into my room.

"I have your meal and the baker asked me to bring you this piece of cake to try. He received your email and picture of what you want. This is just a sheet cake sample of the cakes' flavor. He also said the design for the cake will be no problem. The baker said he can make the flowers edible instead of using artificial ones."

Thank you. I sit down to eat my meal. Just what I needed something light with how I've been feeling. Soup and salad. Now for the cake. Oh, my goodness. That has to be the best cake I've ever had. I will definitely email him about this. He is an excellent baker. I can't wait to taste my wedding cake.

I think I'll get a shower. I need to wash some of this passionfruit scent off of me. It's giving me a headache and didn't even help mask the scent of my heat. I use vanilla scented soap this time. That is so much better. I dry off and put on my nightgown. It's too early to sleep so I sit down and watch some tv. I keep hearing a loud banging noise. It's coming from the room next to mine. Caleb's room. I hope he is ok. The noise stopped. I sit back on the couch. I watch another show. I'm getting tired I'll go on to bed. As soon as I lay down the banging starts again. What is he doing over there? It stops again. Then there is a loud knock at my door. Should I answer after what I've been hearing next door? Who is it?

"It's me, Caleb."

I jump out of bed and open the door. Are you ok? He grabs me up in his arms and rushes over to my bed. Laying me down. He goes back to the door and locks it.

"No, I'm not ok. You are driving me insane. I can smell your heat through the wall. I've been punching the wall trying to side track my mind. I need you."

Caleb I'm in heat if we do it, I could get pregnant. I want you bad too but we need to resist the urges.

"Erica. I need to be with you in some way to calm myself"

Let's cuddle. Maybe that we help us. If not, we can do what we did last night.

"Ok, that's better than nothing."

He takes his clothes off and climbs into bed. I pull of off my gown and slide down my panties. I see him looking at me hungrier than ever. I climb into bed. He grabs me and pulls me under them. Caleb, we can't. I can feel his massive hot cock pushing between my legs. You are making this so difficult to say no. He is rubbing his erection on my wet pussy and sucking on my breasts. I am so aroused. I don't think I can resist him. I feel my body is pushing back toward his erection. As if hoping he will slide in.

"Baby can I make love to you? I need you and I can feel you need me."

Do you have a condom? I can't believe I just asked that. It just popped out. Am I giving in to my urges?

"No, but I'll pull out. You are my mate we don't need a condom. I'll be gentle with you."

OK! As soon as I said it, he started sliding his massive cock into me. He wasn't moving fast just slowly push in a little then out and then a little farther in each time. I start digging my fingers into his back. I feel it stretching me, burning from tearing my pussy's lips and the hurt. Oh, my goodness it hurts so good.

"You feel so good and tight. So tight. I'm all the way in. Are you ok?"

Yes, I say in a panting breath.

"Good"

He starts pumping his erection in and out slowly. As he is kissing my neck and lips. Oh, my goodness. I feel my pussy tighten. It starts throbbing. I'm having an orgasm. I scream his name. I feel a gush of wetness from inside me.

"That's right baby enjoy it."

He starts moving faster and faster. The kisses turn to sucking. He is going to leave hickies all over my neck and shoulders. Again, so soon I feel another orgasm coming. It's even more intense than the last. My back arches and I grab Caleb and pull him closer down on me. He is moaning repeating over and over."

"You feel so good."

He wraps his arms around me and does a couple really hard, deep thrusts, and grunts. I feel throbbing inside my pussy. It isn't me. It's Caleb's cock. I feel a hot sensation inside me. Ouch! Sudden pain radiates from the bend of my neck on the left side. What has just happened? Did he mark me? Did he cum in me? He looks up from my neck and kisses me on my lips.

"Erica, I'm sorry. I just couldn't control myself. Your scent of heat and you felt so good. I couldn't stop. I marked you. Please don't be mad at me."

I'm not mad. I'm a little shocked. I wasn't expecting this. What if I get pregnant?

"Honey, it will be ok. We will be married soon. I'm just sorry I marked you before the wedding. Now everyone will know that you are already mine. No wedding really needed.

We lay here in my bed. He looks so pleased and I'm a ball of nerves. What if I'm pregnant. We have two weeks until the wedding. I could be giving birth in 4 months. I guess the worrying exhausted me. I fall asleep in his arms.
