HappyNovelChapter 263 "I've got you," he murmurs, his breath warm against my temple.
We move through the trees, the moon casting long shadows over the ground. Alec keeps his hand on my lower back, a steadying presence, so much so that I find myself leaning into it more and more. Nothing registers as we walk except for the man next to me. It's like when I am with him, the whole world disappears.
When we reach the clearing, the moonlight pours down, painting the grass in silver. Alec stops beside me, his hand still on my waist, his thumb making small, soothing strokes.
"You ready?" he asks, his eyes holding mine.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI take a deep breath and nod. "Ready." Alec steps back, his eyes darkening, and then he shifts. One moment he is Alec, the next he is Knox - massive, imposing, his dark fur glistening under the moon. His amber eyes fixed on me.
Nyx surges forward, taking control. The shift is quick, and when it is over, She shakes herself out, her sleek white coat catching the moonlight.
Knox steps forward, his gaze softening as he lowers his head to nuzzle Nyx's cheek. Nyx lets out a soft whine, pressing into him, her body sagging against his.
"My queen," Knox rumbles, his voice a soothing vibration.
It's a sight to behold. Who would have thought that Knox could be a gentle beast? Yet again both Alec and Knox surprise me. Their gentleness clearly communicated their feelings. Feelings that I can no longer ignore.
Nyx's eyes flutter closed as Knox licks behind her ear, a slow, deliberate stroke that made her sigh.
"I've been dying to meet you, you know," Nyx says, her voice weak. "But I have to say, both you and Alec are idiots. How could you let another woman trick you into thinking she's your mate?" I stifle my laugh, knowing that Nyx has been waiting for this for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that the moon heat weakened us, she would have taken a swipe at him.
Knox huffs softly, his nose brushing along her jaw. "I admit that we were dumb, but at least we didn't mark her, and it's not too late." "Men are stupid sometimes." Knox gives her a wolfish grin. "I couldn't agree more, my beautiful mate." .n He then nudges her gently, guiding her to lie down in the soft grass. Nyx obeys, her legs folding beneath her. That leavessurprised. Nyx doesn't obey anyone. The fact that she did means that she's either too tired to bother or she's slowly warming up to him.
Knox moves behind her, circling her before curling his massive body around hers. Nyx let out a small, contented whine as Knox wraps himself around her, his warmth enveloping her completely.
His head rests over hers, his large paw drapes protectively over her side. Nyx leans into him, her body melting against his.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I was so tired," Nyx admits, her eyes drooping. "The pain..." Knox's chest rumbles, and the sound reverberates through her. "I know. But it's over now. Just rest. I've got you." Nyx closes her eyes, her breathing slowing as Knox nuzzles her neck, his tongue tracing slow, soothing strokes over her fur.
"You're my mate," Knox whispers, his words wrapping around her like a lullaby. "I'll always protect you, Nyx. Always." Nyx sighs, her entire body going lax as she nestles closer to him. The moonlight bathes them in a soft glow, and for the first tin days, Nyx feels at peace. The moment she fell asleep, so did I. I couldn't escape the warm cocoon Alec and Knox had built around us.
Hours later, when the moon was high in the sky and the night air had om cooled, Nyx stirred, Kek eyes fluttering open. Khox was still there, his massive body curved around hers like a shield.
I felt myself surface, my mind mingling with Nyx's as she took in the feeling of being cradled sbeing cradled completely Knox's warmth, his scent the steady rhythm of his breathing it was a cocoon of safety she hadn't known she needed. Alec's voice broke through the haze, soft and hesitant. "Sadie?" "Yeah?" I whisper, her eyes heavy.
"Are you okay?" I smile, feeling a little lighter than I have felt in days. "Yeah. I'm... better. I think Nyx is too." Knox lets out a soft whine, his muzzle brushing against Nyx's ear. Nyx sighs, pressing into him.
I feel tears prick my eyes. It is such a simple, intimate moment - one hadn't thought we'd ever get to experience and one that was ripping through the walls I had over my heart. Knox nuzzled her once more, giving a soft huff of breath against her fur. Nyx let out a low, contented growl, the last of her tension finally dissipating.
