Arrow Inferno
Chapter 83: Stanley ‘STAN’ Norris vs. Ian ‘WILL’ Williams ~ Post-traumatic stress!

***

'Will.' Stan nudged his mate insistently. He could feel Will's emotions so knew how shaken he still was. 'Hey...'

'I don't know what just happened but I'm not sorry I killed him.' The black wolf rasped. 'I had to.' 'Don't worry about it.'

'I know that when you catch them, you try to work on them first.' Will said quietly. 'That is why I didn't kill the other one. But with this one, I didn't have a choice. He dared attempt to harm what's mine. I couldn't have that. Sorry."

Stan watched his mate for a moment, then let out a howl so loud the sound reverberated through the woods. The howl echoed the love and gratitude he felt for his mate. Some of the wolves shifted and looked on in awed shock. They'd all seen what Will had done. Those who didn't shift joined their boss to howl to the sky. Amongst those who shifted was Kate. And as she stood there in her naked glory, she couldn't erase the proud grin off her face. When the howls ended, Kate gushed on the mind-link she shared with all the werewolves there excluding Will, 'he fucking blinked.' Blinking was a high-level power usually wielded by warlocks. Not mere witches.

'But he hasn't had any training as a wolf yet.' Another werewolf commented in shock. 'How was he able to know how hard to strike to tear out a throat?'

'He's always been a wolf at heart so he has the flair.' Stan told the team.

'Besides, when you see the love of your life in danger, you don't think. You just act with everything within you.' Kate shrugged.

'That's a fact!' One of the werewolves nodded.

'I think some healing is needed again, Boss.' Kate gave a naughty grin. 'Just not for grieving this time. He looks shaken.' She gestured at Will's wolf. 'Cue in the thick, long, and veiny shlong.' 'Shut up, Kate,' Stan's wolf chuckled, soothingly rubbing against Will's wolf.

And even as the werewolves discussed what they'd witnessed, Will's wolf began to lick at Stan all over, instinctively checking to see whether he was okay. Even though Stan kept reassuring his mate that he was, the black wolf didn't stop licking at his mate.

'I've never been this terrified in my life.' Will's wolf whimpered.

'Not even when you saw me for the first time?' Stan drawled teasingly.

'What I felt then was nothing compared to what I felt some minutes ago.' Will's breath hitched in his throat. 'I don't know what I'll do if anything happens to you.'

'Calm down, Will. I'm okay.'

'I... Stan?' The wolf whispered shakily, the urgency behind his silent request almost palpable.

The wolf needed that intimacy with his mate to reassure himself that he was okay as he claimed. It was a...wolf thing. The human Will, on the other hand, was noted for his penchant for getting horny after dangerous missions and situations. Well, as human and beast were one at that point, both were on the same page.

'Kate, you know what to do,' Stan told his head of warriors. 'I want to interrogate that rogue myself in the morning.'

'Roger that boss.'

'See you in the morning.' With that, Stan's wolf broke into a run towards the tunnel that was to take them back to the jungle room, closely followed by his mate. What his mate wanted, his mate got, Stan thought as he ran. If Will needed that carnal reassurance, by god, he was going to give it to him.

Back in the jungle room, Stan's wolf shifted back to his human form. His virile, tanned, and sexy body gleamed with sweat. And he was hard as a rock.

'You are so gorgeous.' The drooling black wolf breathed, his tongue hanging out lustfully.

Stan chuckled. "How about you stop drooling on that rug, darling," he said out loud as he crouched beside the wolf. "Lie down," he instructed softly, his hand stroking the beautiful black fur.

Will's wolf did as he'd been instructed, his eyes on Stan who kept stroking him. Stan wanted to help his mate shift. That was going to be Will's first shift back to human. It was usually painful but with the right amount of coaching and care, the shifter would usually go through it smoothly.

"Relax and breathe baby," Stan said softly. "Let yourself go and be one with your human." He leaned forward to kiss the wolf when it whimpered. "You can do it," he whispered and then moved back to give the wolf more room when it got to its feet. "Shift baby." Stan's voice was a caress on its own. And the black wolf followed that voice.

It was a smooth transformation. Will remained on all fours after he shifted back to human, a wild look in his eyes. He rubbed his face against Stan's for a moment as a wolf would do, murmuring his thanks to his mate who only smiled. Then the only Arrowhead who was also a werewolf rose to his feet. And when he did, Stan gasped at the sheer magnificence of his mate. Stan could have sworn on his life his mate had never looked hotter.

What caught his attention even more was that pulsing length that pointed right at his face as he was still in a crouch. The thick veins that stood out along an even thicker manhood, the flared almost-purple crown, and the precum that dripped from the tip drew a lustful gulp from Stan. Seeing Will so aroused called to something deep inside him. He'd always loved to give Will pleasure but at that moment, the urge to please the man standing before him was more intense. Stan surprised not only Will but himself when his tongue flicked out to catch the spilling precum and lick at the tip. He teased that slit with his tongue and then briefly sucked on the head before getting to his feet. "Fuck," Will released the breath he hadn't even known he was holding as he swayed forward and caught Stan by the back of his neck.

Then the soldier proceeded to kiss his mate with a furious passion that shook them both. His tongue licked, tasted, and dueled with such ferocity it left Stan breathless. The warrior felt the fierce desire surging through his mate and braced himself for what he knew was coming. He ended the kiss and leaned his forehead against Will's as he tried to catch his breath.

"Let's go take a shower." Stan breathed and then pressed a quick kiss to Will's lips before moving to the device on the wall.

He punched in a code, instantly flooding the entire basement with music. He sure as hell didn't plan on entertaining those eavesdropping werewolves around with his sexual moans and grunts. With a gesture of his head to Will, he turned and led the way to the adjoining room.
