I may have had a hidden reason for running Echo into the ground tonight. After trying to maintain control over myself with Kennedy walking out of our closet naked, then telling me she waned up for me last night, I’m not sure I have enough restraint to hold on if she did it again.

Thankfully, my plan worked and Raif was right. After an hour, she began to slow and after another thirty minutes, she was struggling to keep ahead of us.

‘We can practice that a few times a week. As an Alpha wolf, Echo will get stronger quickly,’ Raif says as we carry her into the back of the packhouse.

Kier comes striding up, looking at her. “Is our Luna okay?”

“Yeah, we wore her out working on her stamina,” I tell him.

“You know, there are better ways to work on her stamina,” he says, grinning at me.

I grunt and push past him.

I carry her upstairs and start a bath. I know she’s out, but she worked hard tonight and her muscles will be sore tomorrow. I turn the water on as hot as I think she can take it then put Epsom salts into the tub. Then I pull my shorts off and carefully pull my shirt over her head before turning off the water and sliding into the tub.

Her sweet citrus and mint scent blends into the menthol scent of the Epson salts. I lean back, laying her in front of me and letting her head fall back on my shoulder. I look down and see her beautiful body. That, combined with her sweet scent has me rock hard. Something I’m becoming very accustomed to. No amount of cold showers or jacking off seems to help. My body only wants my mate.

I bathe her, gritting my teeth as I rub the washcloth over her body. Then I close my eyes and lean back, letting the Epsom salt work on her muscles until the water gets cold. When it does, pull her back into my arms and stand. I dry her off, then pull one of my clean shirts over her head before putting her to bed. I take a moment to brush the hair out of her face.

Raif says softly.
