Achilles (Wattys2015)

Chapter 15

I woke up the next morning cuddled against Achilles, completely comfortable. Achilles was still sound asleep, breathing softly against my back. I carefully turned in his arms and studied him, smiling as I took in my amazing mate. I kissed his cheek, needing to show some ounce of love, even if he was sleeping. I have admit, he has me wrapped around his finger to a point. I would do anything to keep him safe, anything to make sure he's happy. I have no idea what I would do if he left me, not only would he be my second mate leaving, but this time I'm actually in love. Not just blinded by my attraction, but actual love.

It's funny, I've never really believed in true love since Jason. I've always thought it was just a fairy tail, something that isn't permanent. However, I know it's true. Humans fall in love as well, sure they can be married and start to have an attraction towards someone else, but if they truly love their partner then they'll just ignore those feelings. Physical attraction is something of an illusion, it can cause a completely irrational love. Something that is only controlled by their physical attraction and nothing else.

Love isn't something you can just mess with, it's a very fragile bond. Humans, werewolves, animals, everything feels it. Well, I'm no scientist so I honestly have no idea if animals can experience love. I have seen it though, between a mother and her young. I know they can experience sorrow, depression, anger, and so on. Even so, this is really something for someone else to explain. I shook those thoughts from my head, looking back at Achilles.

I focused on Achilles, remembering our first time meeting each other. I was feeling the beginnings of the mate-bond then, that feeling that I wanted to be with him. I was attracted physically, but also emotionally. I knew I was slowly falling for him, but I was in denial. Frightened of being rejected and replaced, of not being wanted. I laughed a little at remembering Alpha Tyrone stating that Achilles had "tamed" me. I wanted to burst out laughing, there is no possible way to tame me. I'm my own being, yes I'm part animal, but that does not mean I'll bend at Achilles' will. If he orders me to kill someone, which I highly doubt will happen, I won't do it. I'll just simply tell him no and walk away, he could do it himself.

"Morning."

I jumped slightly as his voice reached my ears, his amazing scent filling my nostrils. I smiled and kissed him on the lips, we made out for a couple of minutes before parting.

"Morning." I replied.

Achilles smiled, his eyes studying me with nothing but love and awe in them. We stayed like this for a while, just taking each other in. I kissed him once more before sitting up and stretching, I grabbed my phone to look at the time. I groaned, we only have an hour until we have to meet the Alphas for the annual meeting.

"Shower...together?" Achilles whispered, wrapping his arms around me and pulling me onto his lap.

I shivered as he kissed my shoulders, gently running his hands down my thighs. My core started to ache as I let out a moan. "Asshole." I gasped.

He chuckled, "Love you."

After our very steamy shower I could barely walk, damn it Achilles for being so damn good. Achilles laughed and carried me to the bed, gently placing me down. I grinned and kissed him before slowly sitting up, waiting until my legs were no longer shaky. Achilles swiftly dressed himself in black dress pants, black dress shirt with a red tie, and black dress shoes. He looked amazing, leaving my breathless from shock. I didn't even think he could get any hotter, but he proved me wrong once again.

I quickly grabbed my red dress, it was a tight fitting dress that reached halfway down my thighs. I threw on a little bit of make-up and did my hair before throwing on my black high heels. Achilles' eyes were as black as the night sky when he saw me, a growl of approval sounding. He kissed me before leading us down to the meeting.
