Chapter 24

I am so very grateful to all the people who are reading and voting on my story, I can't believe it has passed 2200 reads!! Thank you so much!!

Axels pov

It's been 4 hours, 4 hours in awkward silence with the occasional, just as awkward, glance. Holy shit, I'm going to scream!

But as I see a welcomed sign along the road I finally have something that might break the tension.

"Wanna get something to eat?"

"Heck yeah, I'm starving!"

We both agree that McDonald's is the place to go, so I follow the signs and pull into the parking lot in no time.

We head inside and go straight to the front to order.

Leila seems to be a McDonald's connoisseur, cause she knows what she wants without glancing at the menu. "I'll have the Grand Big Mac with a large fries and a large coke, a chocolate shake and a McFlurry with oreo." She wasn't kidding when she said she was hungry, that's impressive.

"I'll have the same thing, except make my shake strawberry and I want a Bacon McDouble as well." What? I'm hungry too, and werewolf, we burn calories like crazy. "Oh, and apple slices, and an apple pie."

Alpha Colleen lent us a nice sum of money, so when the cashier gives us the total it doesn't even dent our budget.

While we wait for our order we spot a nice table along the windows and as Leila sits down I go to get straws, ketchup and napkins. The thing that doles out ketchup is empty so I have to get those little packets, I hate those things, I always tear them wrong and end up with ketchup on my hands or shirt.

I take a good look at Leila heading back, she looks amazing today. It's probably just because I have been away from her for so long, but I could swear that her scent is even sweeter than it usually is. I can't even begin to describe how happy I am that she agreed to give me another chance, and this time I won't blow it.

Just as I put the ketchup and stuff on our table our order is being called so I head over to the counter to get it and sit down in the chair opposite hers.

Now to tackle my old foe, the ketchup packet. As I suspected, I couldn't get it by tearing with my fingers, and as I stick it between my teeth and tear at it like some kind of animal I can hear Leila snicker a little and turn my attention to her, "Do you need some help opening that?"

"No thank you, I can open it."

And open it does, rather violently, dousing me in red gunk. Just great! Leila is huffing across the table and as I raise my eyes to check on her I can't control the guffaw that shoots out. Apparently, the ketchup flew a little further than I would have predicted and Leila's face has gained some more freckles, nice big red ones.

She doesn't seem mad at all though, she just smirks, picks up her napkin and dries off without losing eye contact, "That was not the facial I would have expected from you, but it's a nice preview I suppose."

As her words sink in I feel my mouth drop open and my dick rise to attention. Holy shit, that's  hot!

Suddenly she blushes and clears her throat, "Sorry, that was a weird thing to say."

"Oh, I really, and I mean really, don't mind." But if she keeps talking like that she will make it hard to keep my self from jumping her.

Luckily that was the icebreaker we needed and finally, a conversation starts up, we talk about both our childhoods, she laughs at stories about me and Tommy, as well as the stories I tell her about my batshit crazy mom and dad. We talk about her childhood an even though it was no picnic she has some amazing stories to tell, she and our Luna are tough as shit, that's for damn sure.

We finish eating and clean up after ourselves and head back to the car, this time the atmosphere is much lighter and we keep laughing and joking around as well as touch in on more serious topics.

But whats strange is that as we drive her amazing smell starts to get more potent, I don't think she even notices but she is touching me a lot, her hand strokes my arm, my thigh and my shoulder and that combined with the scent has me so turned on I'm starting to worry I might burst out of my pants.

All of a sudden she starts to squirm in her seat, and I can see her pressing her legs together, "It's so hot in here," she reaches for the aircondition but that's set to the lowest temperature and to be honest it's getting chilly in here.

I can hear her murmur to her self, but only pick up a few words, "...wrong..me...hot..can't be...crap.." She turns to me with a worried look, "What's the date?" I tell her and she seems to be counting something, "Fuuuuuck!"

Her loud outburst has me slamming on the breaks as I scan the surroundings for danger, "What? Whats going on?" I get even more alarmed by the way she looks at me, she looks really worried.

"I can't believe I let this take me off guard again, with everything that's been happening I lost track."

"Lost track of what? What are you talking about?"

"I'm in heat!"

Oh, fuck me! That explains it, she seems more touchy, and she smells amazing. How am I supposed to be in the same car as her and not go insane? It would be one thing with pretty much any other female, but this is Leila, my beautiful, sexy, hot, gorgeous Leila who smells so good I want to tear off her clothes and lick every inch of her body and sink inside her body and fuck her till she screams my name....

I turn away from her and yank the door handle and fling myself out of the car, thankfully the fresh air clears my mind a little, but I can hear the other car door open as well and instantly her sweet scent surrounds me again, "No! Stay there, close the door! And stay away from me until I have some more control."

But does she listen? Of course not! She steps out of the car and walks straight up to me, she reaches out and strokes both hands from my neck down to my waist, she lifts my shirt a little and slips her hands under the fabric resting them on the hem of my pants , "But I'm so hot Axel, if I don't take care of this soon it will start to get really painful. You don't want me to be in pain do you?"

This is the first time she has touched me like this and coupled with her words I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle. Her scent surrounds me and the hands still on my exposed skin is sending tingles all over my body, I can feel my brain fog over as I lean closer to those delectable lips of hers.

As our lips touch I'm a lost cause, she opens her lips immediately and welcomes my tongue, tangling hers together with mine in a heated dance, as she pushes herself closer to my body grinding her stomach into my hard, leaking member. I slip my hands down to her ass and lift her up and she throws her legs around my waist and grinds even harder with a moan. In the back of my mind I'm thinking to my self that I have to stop this, she is not clear headed right now, but I just can't seem to stop.

"No! This will stop right now! If we take her like this she will never forgive us, she is not in a frame of mind to say yes or no, and we will not take advantage of that!" Thank the Goddess, Arlo has better self-control then I do. It takes a herculean amount of strength but he takes over and rips Leila from his body, almost throwing her into the car and slams the door shut, locking the doors, while his breath comes out in long, heaving pants.

We debate for a while back and forth on what to do, obviously we can't keep driving like this, and we can't turn back. The thought of bringing her back to a pack house filled with horny unmated males when she is like this is enough to make us both want to kill all unmated males in a 200 mile radius.

"We should find a motel and lock her up until her heat subsides, but how long will it last?" I think Arlo is onto something with that, but I have no idea how long it will last.

"For female wolves, it lasts three days but I have no idea how long it will last for a tiger. Maybe we could call the Luna and ask?"

"Yes, we find a motel, secure her there and call the Luna. Should I stay in control?"

"No, it's okay, I'm clear headed now, I have a plan and I know what to expect, it shouldn't hit me as hard this time." After a lecture about not touching her and a threat that he will take over again if I can't maintain control, he recedes to the back of my mind, giving me back the rains of my body.

Taking a big breath and trying my best to prepare myself, I unlock the door and yank it open, the scent that immediately assaults my senses damn near floor me, and it certainly doesn't help that Leila is a mix of seductive and pissed after I left her in the car during my little debate with Arlo.

"What were you doing baby?" Oh fuck, she is purring and her voice is melting

some of my defenses, but I keep in control.

"You are so sexy, I want to climb your body like a tree and rub my self all over you."

"That sounds nice honey, let's put a pin in that until your brain's no longer boiling over with hormones", she huffs and sits back with her arms across her chest, I seriously doubt she's given up but she seems willing to leave me alone for now. So I check my phone for the nearest motel, preferably one that's not too dingy, and start the car up, feeling some real urgency I'm  flooring it, cause being this close to my mate with her begging me to take her is recipe for disaster.

The drive is only ten minutes but she keeps touching me, her hand slides over my thigh, shoulder and chest, she makes the weirdest, but somehow most alluring purring sound I have ever heard, I can even hear her tiger call out to me and Arlo. But I am strong damnit, I can do this. My dick and balls might break and fall off, but I can do this!

I peel into the parking lot of the motel and once again lock the doors, luckily the door has child safety and she can't get out without breaking the doors. Hopefully, she isn't that desperate, but who am I kidding? She clearly is. I take my first real breath in a while as I jog into the office that holds the front desk. The place doesn't look too bad, but the guy behind the counter is dragging the first impression way down. He's got long greasy hair, wears a white shirt with a coffee stain on it and his expression is less 'welcome' and more 'drop dead asshole'.

"Welcome to Mansion Motels, what can I do for you this fine evening?" The man drawls, seeming like he would rather slit his own wrists then actually help me out.

"I need a room, not sure for how long at the moment, but I'll pay for a week, and then I will know if I need it any longer."

"That'll be $400, cash or card?" How can anyone look that disinterested and apathetic and still manage to breathe? It's a rare talent indeed.

"Cash," I hand him the money, "and we will need plenty of extra towels and sheets," there's no doubt in my mind that we will both be needing regular cold showers.

"Extra towels and sheets need to be paid for, you can pay that at check out. Here's your key." He hands me a key with the number 23 stamped on it. "Enjoy your stay with us, please call if..." He didn't even finish his sentence before he turns away from me and it's more than clear that he will not be wanting me to call him if I need anything.

I currently have other things to worry about besides the possibility that the guy working at the front desk might be a zombie, so I just head back outside.

Luckily my lovely lady is still in the car, so I unlock the doors and catch her as she practically leaps out of the car into my arms and starts to rub her face into the crook of my neck, licking and kissing at the skin, purring as she moves along. I should be given some sort of award when this is over, is there a Nobel prize in the field of blue balling? If not, there should be!

I grab our bags, find the room number and unlock the door, switch on the light and take in the room, it looks like every motel room I have ever seen in any episode of Supernatural. What? I watch Supernatural. Some girl I was fucking a few years back was a huge fan. Apparently, Dean Winchester was her dream man, which I found a little strange given the fact that he would have lopped her head off if he was real. But anywho, she forced me to watch a couple of episodes and I surprisingly liked it and kept watching after we ended things.

I decide the wisest thing to do was to head straight for the bathroom, with Leila still wrapped around me I head for the shower turning it on an adjusting the water to the coldest setting and with our clothes still on I step right in. She squeals as she feels the water hit her skin and try to get away but I lock my arms around her and keep her put, personally I love the feel of the icy water hitting me, it's bringing my temperature down and floods my mind with some much needed common sense.

The cold seems to have some success in calming Leila down too, she soon relaxes in my arms and her breath evens out a little.

"Axel, I'm back in control for the moment, can we get out of the water before it gives me frostbite?" Her voice seems tired, but not as smooth and wily as it has been. So I turn off the water and step out, she unhooks her legs from my waist and slides down to the ground, her legs seem a little shaky but she manages to stand on her own.

"I'll leave you alone to get dry and change, let me know if you need my help." I turn to step out, but she grabs hold of my hand to stop me.

"Than you for not taking advantage of the situation earlier, I know that took a lot from you." She gives me an apologetic smile, "But that being said, I'm, going to be like this for at least  three days, so you are going to have your work cut out for you if you are going to keep resisting."

"At least three days? Are you not sure how long your heat will last?" Three days is going to be hard, and I don't even want to think it might be even longer.

"I honestly don't know, I have never remained unserviced before, so I'm not sure if the heat lasts longer if I don't scratch the itch so to speak." I growl at the thought of the guys who have 'serviced' her in the past, they have basically taken advantage of my beautiful girl, but I guess most of them would be unaware of that fact. I can't really blame anyone for not being able to turn down her perfection, especially with her throwing herself at them.

I step out of the bathroom and after tossing her bag in there I close the door and get changed into a boxer and t-shirt, I feel more than ready for bed. But it's still early and I need to call her brother and maybe get some advice on how to handle Leila during her heat. A glance at my watch tells me it's 4 pm so the best bet to get a hold my him would be at the pack house, so I get out my phone and dial.

As usual, Penny answers the phone, that woman practically lives in the kitchen, "Hello Sir, what can I do for you?" For a second I wonder how she knew who was calling, but then I remember caller ID.

"I need to speak to the Luna, do you know where he is?"

"Yes, I do. He's right here, I've been giving him some cooking lessons." That sounds like a good idea, Anders was telling us about his attempted cooking, or attempted homicide, as he referred to it as.

There's a little shuffling and then his voice comes over the phone, "Hey Axel, is everything okay with Leila? What did you do?" His voice seems a little concerned and not to mention hostile but I guess it's no surprise he would think I did something to fuck things up, he is not my biggest fan.

"I didn't do anything Luna," I try my hardest to keep my voice as respectful as possible, not only is this man my Luna, he is also my future brother in law. "Leila just went into heat, and I was hoping for a few good pointers from you and maybe you can tell me a little about what to expect from her?"

"Oh man, that's right, it could be about six months since the last time, there's been a lot of things happening lately so I guess it's not surprising she would lose track." His voice changed from concerned to amusement in a heartbeat.

"Cold showers seems to take the edge off but I'm sorry to say that, oh fuck it is so cringy talking about my sister like this, orgasms are the only way to keep her slightly sane. The best way is obviously sex, but I understand and feel shockingly thankful to you for avoiding that." I cringe too, this is really not the conversation I want to have with her brother, "Now this is very important, if you don't want her to get away and find someone to mate you can't let her out of your sight, tigers have more intense heats than wolves, and she will be desperate to find someone to help her out. Oh, and keep her away from bears." As he says that last part he starts to laugh, I'm not even going to pretend I have any idea what that's about. "Good luck Axel, you might be a bad ass warrior, but Leila is nuts on her best days, and when she's in heat shes insane." With that little pep talk, he hangs up, no goodbye or anything, rude ass.

I take few moment to sit on the bed trying to think about my options, should we get back in the car and head for pack lands? No, being stuck in a car with her doesn't seem viable. I quickly decide to stay here, and tie her to the bed if need be. Tying her to the bed actually sounds like fun, I'm sure we could have a lot of fun with that, but not right now. That's going to have to wait until she's clear headed and capable of deciding what she wants. She has been in that bathroom for a really long time, how long could it possibly take to dry off and get on some clothes? Then a thought crosses my mind, there was a window in that bathroom. But she wouldn't. Would she?

I get off the bed and almost tear the door off its hinges in my haste to check on her, my heart sinks to my knees as I take in the empty room, the window is wide open, and Leila is nowhere in sight. I let out an angry roar as I go back into the room and grab some pants and shoes, if that girl thinks she is going to run away from me and fuck some random stranger shes got another thing coming. She is MINE!

A horny Leila is a stupid Leila. But I guess that goes for plenty of people.
