CEO's Runaway Mate and Her Cubs

«Okay,» Samantha said after a few minutes of thinking. «We should meet in a few days.»

«And, also... We can think about everything else later. Now it isn't the right time. We're already feeling the effects of the Black Moon. We risk being irrational.»

He continued feeding her, knowing very well that food meant having a trusting and naive white wolf. He loved that part of her: it made everything a little easier. Her defences would fall, and she was more eager to be tricked by him.

While her muscles relaxed, her eyes started feeling heavy. Being in Rider's arms felt utterly comfortable. Especially after the intense physical activity of before.

She didn't have time to wonder how it was possible. She would have thought about it later, but it was strange that just a little sex could exhaust her body and mind.

«I hope you find a woman who can give you everything,» she muttered while falling into slumber. «You deserve it, Rider.»

«Oh, no,» he replied. «I don't deserve it at all.»

«I would be happy to know that you're happy with a family. Isn't that your dream?»

«I don't know. I've never thought about it before, but if you say I'd be happy, then I can have a family.»

«With a lot of black pups and everything else you'd like. A woman who can take care of you instead of always being taken care of. Wouldn't that be better?»

«Oh, no. I like taking care of you. And sex is great. Even if it means meeting once a month, I wouldn't give it up for something as boring as a family,» he chuckled.

«But... You shouldn't be alone forever just because of me.»

«And you?»

«I never thought I would find a partner for life. People like me are better alone.»

«Hmm... Very interesting. And you don't want a family?»

«It's not that I don't want it. I just can't see a way to have one.»

«Do you want many pups?»

«Just two,» she said, turning to the side and hugging him back. She placed her head on his chest and sighed. He was so warm. «A boy and a girl.»

«And what if they are two boys?»

«Oh, I don't know,» she said. Her eyes were closed, and she was drowning in his scent. «You stink of lust.»

«I know. I'll have a shower in a moment. But first, tell me more about your dream family. What if you have two boys or two girls? Would you give birth to a third pup?»

«I don't know, Rider. It's just a dream, not a plan.»

«And your partner?»

«I don't need a partner.»

«Sure.»

Awesome. She wasn't planning him in her bright future. Oh, but it was a long term battle. He didn't need to win immediately. He had to fight for years if he wanted her to be his. And it might not involve her changing packs...

Their family would have been odd, but that didn't mean he wouldn't fight for it. He never considered having pups before, and he didn't really feel any need. Still, if Samantha wanted two...

«I will teach my kids how to be strong,» she continued. «And not to trust wily wolves appeared out of nowhere during a night of Black Moon.»

Oh, sure. And he would teach them that fate could be surprising.

«Two little black wolves,» she chuckled, «wouldn't it be awesome?»

«Sure,» he hummed, caressing her back while she fell asleep.

Black wolves weren't frequent in the other packs. It must have meant something... If she wanted black pups, he was the best option for that.

He got up only when she was sleeping soundly, not before pecking her head one last time.

Her soul was fragile, and he had to be careful not to hurt her. It was his duty as her mate to protect her from everything, especially what could actually cause pain. Her body was strong enough, but her mind was innocent and trusting.

How could he take advantage of her before? The guilt would have consumed his heart sooner or later.

«I'm sorry, Mine. I'm really sorry.»

Even if he was loyal to his pack and would have done anything for them, he needed to protect Samantha just as much. He was going to be part of her family one day. They were going to start one after getting tired of playing fuck buddies.

He collected her panties from under the table and left the room. He had to take a long shower, lest the brats - especially one brat - notice he had been with a woman.

Samantha, on the other hand, slept for half an hour at most. She got up in panic and hurried to collect her things before missing the flight. She would have slept at home, she reminded herself, but her body was exhausted.

It was a nice feeling, actually. As if she had run forever and could finally rest in a cosy bed and eat some candies. Yet, she first had to reach that cosy bed.

She paid the hotel without even checking the amount, and she hurried out towards the taxi.

«To the airport,» she said while throwing the bag on the seat next to hers. She had no extra time to open the truck, and she prepared the bills in advance to avoid wasting seconds to pay.

She ran out, and the next few hours were confused in her mind. She remembered boarding the plane. She remembered arriving home.

It all somehow worked out. Yet, she was in a world light-years from earth, where her body was content and her mind at peace. As if she had gotten something she had needed for a long time.

She collapsed on her bed during the first hours of dawn, and she fell asleep the very next moment. She dreamed about a couple of pups wagging their tails and calling her mom.

«Oh,» she sighed in her sleep. «So cute...»

But.... Who was that dark figure next to her, hugging her warmly and smiling like a fool? Why were her pups calling him dad?
