Alpha's One Night Bride
Alpha’s One Night Bride – Chapter 75

As the others left, Ronnie stared up at Erick with big and terrified eyes. She couldn’t believe what had just happened. Erick was going to war with Jonathan, and they were leaving tomorrow. Her heart was shattering within her chest. My body no longer felt like her own and she just wanted to crawl into bed and cry her eyes out.

She’s been fairly quiet up until that moment; finally standing up to her mother took a lot out of her. It was one of the hardest things she’s ever had to do. Watching her mother go into custody and get arrested was the hardest thing she’s ever had to watch; but she knew it was the best thing that could happen.

Right now, what she needed was to be with her boyfriend and be enclosed in his arms; but he just agreed to leave tomorrow to an uncertain death. She felt as though her world was closing in around her and all of a sudden there wasn’t any air left for her to breathe.

“I know it’s a lot,” he said to her softly as tears fell from her eyes. “But I need to do this, Ronnie. I’ve been stuck on the sidelines for too long.”

“I’m sorry to be such a bother,” Ronnie muttered.

Erick frowned, gazing down at her.

“You know that’s not what I meant. All I want is to protect you; I’m doing this so I can continue doing that,” Erick told her.

“How does getting killed protect me?” Ronnie asked, her voice cracking.

“Have some faith in me…” Erick said slowly.

He sounded a bit hurt; Ronnie sighed.

“I’m sorry…” she breathed. “I just don’t want to lose you, Erick. I’m falling in love with you.”

Erick’s eyes softened as he stared around her serious features; he was almost at a loss for words. She had never said that before and he wasn’t sure how to react. She was only 16 and they were supposed to stay casual until she turned 18 and he could marry her. But at that moment, he wasn’t sure what to do or how to react.

But it was obvious how he felt about her.

“What?” He asked in a whisper; more tears ran down her cheeks.

“I love you…” she said again, her voice cracking as her l*p quivered.

He wrapped her up in his arms and pulled her close to his chest so her head would be rested against him. He allowed her to cry for a few moments; weighing her words on his mind.

“Ronnie?” He whispered against her ear; she looked up at him through her long dark lashes. “I love you too.”

Before she had time to say anything, his lips were already enclosed around hers. He breathed in her sweet pine scent and soaked in the softness of her lips against his. Ronnie deepened the k**s, pressing her body firmly against his, her breasts against his broad chest. The heat of their bodies combining into one intensifies their desires for one another.

He traced his fingers down the small of her back, sending a slight ping of chills down her spine. His k**s moved from her lips and down the nape of her neck. Tugging her gently with his teeth and he made his way to her shoulder blades. She breathed in his musky, yet rosy, scent and m****d at the softness and tenderness of his k****s.

His fingers fell to her waistline and played with the strappings of her pants. She nudged him slowly in the direction of the booths; as he sat down at a booth, he was breathless, and his eyes showed such a loving admiration.

Ronnie removed her pants and worked to remove his; releasing his e******n, she placed her lips around his shaft. He breathes in sharply as his p***s made its way into her mouth and towards the back of her throat. Her tongue swirled around his mushroom tip with such tenderness that it was as though she was making love to it. She closed her eyes and listened to his soft m***s; his movements showed how much pleasure he was feeling.

He draped his strong fingers through her red curly locks of hair and massaged her scalp gently as she continued to suck him.

She released him from her mouth and climbed on top of him; removing her shirt in the process so her breasts could go free. As he slid inside of her, he leaned up so his mouth could caress her nipples and his tongue could taste the sweetness of her body. She bounced on top of him, allowing her breasts to bounce in front of her and in his face.

They both m****d together as their wolves danced in a rhythm around them; moving to the music only they could hear. At that moment, Ronnie knew for certain that Erick was her mate and that she was truly in love with him. She wanted to be with him forever and she didn’t care how old she was. She knew what she wanted, and it was Erick.

She spent all her life playing by the rules of Rock and Melissa. Now she was playing by her own rules.

Today was the day that Jonathan was leaving. Ronnie and Erick returned home late last night; Ronnie looked a bit frazzled and red in the face and Erick had a look on his face that I hardly recognized. I hate to see him go with the idea of him not returning. My heart was breaking, and I knew Ronnie’s was too.

We both said goodbye to our wolves and watched them leave. Almost immediately after they left, Ronnie began sobbing. I wasn’t sure how to comfort her because I too felt as though I had lost a piece of myself. I couldn’t comfort her while I felt broken too. I was so sick and tired of watching Jonathan leave; I was sick and tired of feeling as though I was losing everything. I just wanted to feel like I had some kind of steadiness in my life. I wanted to know if everything was going to be alright.

I thought of summoning Naomi or having Jess summon Naomi, so she can see what the outcome was going to be on this war. But part of me didn’t want to know. I think the knowledge of it would utterly destroy me.

Instead, I decided to transition into my wolf form and go hunting. I left Emee with Ronnie and went straight for the woods.

I had my mother’s light guiding me through the forest; my wolf form was getting stronger as I neared my 18th birthday. It was only a few months away and then I would be considering a full adult werewolf.

I heard the critters all around me, but none of them drove me to satisfy my hunger. Then, I heard a black bear. It was only a few miles north and it would be mine. I could tell by the hunger growls of the bear that it was also out hunting as well. I knew upon seeing me, that the bear would try and run. All animals tried to run as soon as a werewolf was present; we were lucky that other animals don’t have the same senses as we do and often can’t see or foresee us coming.

As predicted the bear had no idea I was there; I was on top of it before it even had a chance to turn around. I sunk my teeth into its neck; bears were much weaker than werewolves so at first contact the bear was practically on the ground and dead. I continued to drive my claws deep into the bear’s back tough to make sure that it really couldn’t move while I drove my teeth into its juicy flesh.

B***d was now soaking through m fur as I continued eating the bear.

Once I finished, there was nothing, but bones left. I figured it was a good time to go to the riverbed and clean up.

Sitting at the riverbed, I soaked my fur in the cold waters. I watched the b***d drip off my fur and wash away down the river’s stream. The moon was big and shining its rays down on me; I knew my mother was with me. This was the same spot I saw her in my dreams; she came down in the misty moonlight to speak with me about what Rock was planning.

I knew she wasn’t going to come and see me at this moment, but I could still feel her presence and I was so grateful to have that feeling back. A feeling I hadn’t had since she was alive 10 years ago. As much as I missed her, I was glad she was doing what she wanted and that she was happy. Not to mention she was beautiful and radiant as the white moon goddess.

“Arina…” Jessica’s voice came through my mind in the link; her voice sounded strained as though she’s been crying.

“Hey, what’s wrong?” I asked in return; I couldn’t hide the worry from my voice.

“It’s Greggory…” she said softly. “I caught him having s*x with his wife….”
