Wolf Boy (BoyxBoy)(slash)

Chapter 12

*Noah's POV*

~edited

Julian has been gone for a straight two day and I felt his loss like he was dead. I felt very uncomfortable being away from him. My eyes traveled to the door again for what has to be the hundredth time in just an hour, my ears listening for the thud of his foot on the stairs and my nostrils flaring trying to find his scent.

"You know he'll be back soon. He just has to attend to some alpha things" his mom and sister have been keeping me company since he left. All three of us were currently sat on the bed I shared with Julian watching television like I often did with Julian. They were both sat on either side of me trying to cheer me up.

As I watched the colors swirling around in the television, my mind wandered back to Julian. I didn't know why I was so attracted to him. Everything about him made me hot, even thinking about him made me hot. I felt the need to always be in his presence, to drown myself in his woodsy and manly scent.

I twisted the hem of my shirt as my wolf agreed with me. Both of us have been weak for so long now, we were too removed from each other. It was a strain that had us both sweating to communicate with each other. But when Julian was around, everything as easier, we felt like one entity again. We both craved him with a madness that should be reserved for your mate.

But I knew that I didn't have a mate and he probably did and that made me even more guilty. Out there, there was someone waiting for him. Someone other than me who he would kiss. Someone other than me who he would hold when he went to sleep. The though made so violently jealous my wolf pushed through to the surface for just a second.

Alpha Dacio had made a point of telling me every time that he beat me that I had no mate. That no wolf or human would mate with me. Even the thought of him brought back such violent memories that my body started shaking.

 I wanted Julian. I wanted him to hold me. I didn't want to admit it but I was getting addicted to him if not worse. I couldn't bear to be away from him.

"It's okay Noah, he'll be back soon. I promise" his mom patted my shoulders and I nodded my head.  I wasn't used to the human contact so I still jumped a little when they touched me. However, they both had the same woodsy scent that Julian carried and it comforted me to an extent.

Two days ago, Julian's dad had come into the room as we were eating breakfast and had taken a seat at the end of the bed. I had immediately shifted so I was sat behind Julian hiding myself behind him and trying to mask my sent with his.

His dad had just smiled and nodded at me before turning back to Julian with a serious ace. I studied his features and found most of Julian's features in his. They both had that high and proud forehead. High and defined cheekbones and the sparkling eyes. if he was the same age an Julian they would be doppelgangers of each other. Yet, there were still features that were unique to Julian. Julian's eyes sparkled more. His lips were plump and pretty. He had a beauty spot right below his right below his right eyes that always seemed to grab my attention and made me want to touch it and kiss it. I shook my head as I listened to their conversation.

"...and as the next in line for the alpha position, you need to be there. You were also the one who found him and the high court will be needing your testimony to brand him" from what I could catch of their conversation, they had questioned the rest of the pack and it turned out that only the people in power, i.e. the people who ran with Alpha Dacio, were the ones who knew that I was in the basement and that I was being tortured.

When they had gotten to the topic of my torture, Julian had reached behind him and gripped my hands in his slightly bigger ones and stroked my knees with his other hand, trying to comfort me.

He was the only one that knew that I woke up in the middle of the night, covered him cold sweat and trembling, too scared to scream. Dreaming that I was back in the basement with unidentifiable figures above me, beating me.

"We have to leave today to be back as soon as possible and I have already checked with Mandy and I'm sorry but Noah is still not strong enough to make the journey there and back. I'm sorry" he had said looking at me, but I quickly looked away from him, my hand tightening in Julian's tense ones.

When his father left, he had turned to me, took my face in his hands and kissed me. My body warmed at the tough of the kiss, it was a simple kiss and left me feeling...loved. I knew that he had to go with his dad and I told him as much. He promised me that his mum and sister would be with me at all times and had just smiled and nodded my head. Just as he left, his sister and mum walked in and they have been with me ever since. Some guy that his sister told me was Julian's beta come to the room once in a while to bring food and change of clothes for the girls as well as updates.

As my focus drifted back to the television, a deep masculine scent drifted up to my nose as well the thud of boots on the stairs. My wolf and I immediately perked up and we sniffed the air to make sure it was him. I was out of the bed and ripping the door open before Ava and his mum even knew what was happening. I heard them asking what was wrong as I tripped over my feet before catching myself and proceeding to run out of the room.

 I stopped at the top of the stairs as I saw him. He was only a few steps away from me. His eyes sparkled as they settled on me and he seemed to let out a sigh of relief. When he reached me, I threw my arms around his neck and hugged him without thinking. I realized what I was doing and tried to move away from him but he wrapped his arms around me and squeezed me to him, letting out a little chuckle. Sighing that I haven't just done something wrong, I settle against him and burrowed into him, drawing his scent into me. I missed him.  

I heard someone let out a sigh of relief behind me and moved out Julian's arms to see who it was.  His mum and sister came to hug him. I was the same awkward hug from when we first met seeing as Julian was still holding my hand.

"Thanks mum, twerp" he smiled ruffling his sister's hair. "I'll take it from here" he smiled drawing me closer to him and I hid behind and burrowed into his shoulders. I heard a few chuckles and burrowed in deeper as a blush crept up my checks. I still wasn't used to so many people being nice to me.

"Come on baby" he tugged on my hand with a bright smile that twinkled in his deep brown eyes. In that instance, i knew i would follow him any and every where that he wanted.
