Shadows Of The Pack (Aria and Knox)

Chapter Ninety Seven: The Dance of Lovd

The members of the Nightshade Pack gathered in a clearing bathed in the gentle light of the setting

sun. It had been a time of turmoil and uncertainty, but for this moment, all was calm. The air was filled

with the harmonious sounds of laughter and conversation. The pack members sat in a loose circle, the

bond between them stronger than ever.

Lilian, still frail but conscious, sat beside JB, their hands intertwined. Ryder, who had been recovering

remarkably, was leaning against a tree, a contented smile on his face, Lydia as usual, ever since his

almost death, glued by his side.

Aria and Knox, the expectant parents, shared a blanket, her head resting on his shoulder.

Sarah sat close to Aria, her gaze filled with admiration for Luna.

Amidst the camaraderie, Melody, Shana, and Sophia sat together, their close friendship evident in their

easy conversation. Melody, with her short, dark hair was recounting a recent event with a mischievous

twinkle in her eyes.

The gathering was filled with laughter, the shared camaraderie strengthening their bonds. Lilian spoke

up, her voice soft but filled with warmth. "I never thought I'd see a day like this. Peace and happiness in

our pack."

JB squeezed her hand gently, his eyes filled with love. "We've come a long way, haven't we?"

Ryder nodded, his gaze distant. "And we've faced challenges that tested our strength and unity. But

we've emerged stronger because of them."

Aria, her fingers tracing gentle patterns on her swollen belly, chimed in. "And our pup, a symbol of our RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

love and unity, has brought us together in ways we never imagined."

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting the clearing in hues of twilight, Knox wrapped his arm

around Aria, his voice filled with unwavering determination. "No matter what challenges lie ahead, we'll

face them together, as a pack. Our unity is our

Meanwhile, in the corner of the gathering, Jacob sat in quiet contemplation, his gaze shifting from one

member to another. He had always been more of an observer, someone who found solace in the

margins of the bustling pack life.

Melody, her eyes catching his lingering glance, felt a tug of curiosity. She played with her fingers for a

while. Her wolf called out to him, she wanted more than anything to go to him and eventually she gave

into her wolf's desire.

"Jacob, can I talk to you for a moment? In private?" Her voice was gentle, an invitation rather than a

demand.

A look of surprise closed his face before he nodded silently. They made their way to Melody's room, the

atmosphere thick with a sense of anticipation. Once inside, they stood facing each other, the air

charged with unspoken questions.

Melody's voice was barely above a whisper. "Jacob, can I see it?"

He met her gaze, his expression guarded. He knew what she was asking for. Without a word, he

removed his shirt, revealing the mark on his chest.

Melody's fingers trembled slightly as she reached out, her touch delicate as she traced the contours of

the mark. A low growl rumbled from Jacob's chest, his wolf stirred by the proximity of the female he had

desired for so long.

"It's still here," she said softly, her voice filled with a mixture of wonder and understanding.

"Melody," Jacob growled, a hint of warning in his tone. His eyes closed briefly, his internal struggle

evident.

The room was charged with a potent energy, a delicate dance between desire and restraint. Jacob's

wolf yearned for her, while his human side fought to maintain control.

She smiled at him before moving forward. She placed a small kiss on the mark— her mark.

"What?... What are you doing?"

Melody let out a tired sigh, "I don't want to fight it any—"

Jacob smashed his lips on her, cutting her off. His wolf let out a growl as her fingers dug into his

recently cut hair.

She broke apart from him, staring at him with want in her eyes, "I like your hair better now. It suits you

better."

He kept quiet, still staring at her. Honestly, he didn't understand what was happening. Everything with

her had always been complicated.

"I don't want to fight it anymore. I want this. I want you. And I need you to fuck me."

She bit her lip as she looked down. He took a step towards her, wanting to touch her again. But she

shook her head and held up a finger. "No. You're going to have to wait. I'm not ready yet."Jacob

growled lowly, "But Melody..." Her voice was soft and sweet, "You'll have to be patient, Jacob. I

promise."

He sighed heavily, "Okay."

She walked back over to the bed and laid down, looking up at him with an innocent smile. "Come

here."

Jacob obeyed, crawling over to her. He kissed her softly, his hands caressing her body.He could feel

her heartbeat through her skin. He felt her heart race against his own. He wanted nothing more than to

take her right there. But he knew that would lead to more complications.

She sensed his hesitation and looked up at him, "I'm not going to run again. I'm tired of running. I want

you Jacob. I want to feel you everywhere. Please, fuck me."

She reached up and pulled his head down to hers.He could smell her arousal and knew she was as

excited as he was.

He kissed her hard, pushing her back onto the bed. He climbed on top of her, kissing her neck and

licking her breasts. He sucked her nipples into his mouth and bit them gently. He slid his hand down

between their bodies and rubbed her clit with his thumb. Her hips thrust upward against his hand. He

took her nipple in his mouth again and bit it harder this time.

She moaned loudly and arched her back, pressing her breast more firmly into his mouth. He continued

to tease her, rubbing her clit slowly but firmly. She grabbed his hair and pulled him away from her

chest. She pulled him up so that he was kneeling over her body. "Fuck me," she said breathlessly. "I

need your cock inside me. I need to feel you cum inside me."

Jacob moved between her legs and rubbed the tip of his cock against her wet pussy lips. She was

already very wet and he slid easily inside her. He thrust into her slowly, watching her face. He watched

her eyes close and her head fall back against the pillow. Her hands gripped the sheets tightly. He

leaned forward and started to kiss her deeply.

He felt her fingers wrap around his ass and pull him deeper into her. He began to move faster, pulling

almost all the way out before slamming into her. He watched her breasts bounce wildly with each

thrust. Her breathing became erratic and he knew she was close. He sped up even more, pounding

into her. She wrapped her legs around him and he felt her nails dig into his skin.

She cried out his name and he felt her muscles contract around his cock. He kept moving, trying to

keep himself from coming too soon. He slowed down and then stopped completely. She opened her

eyes and smiled at him. "You're not done yet?" she asked. "Not by a long shot."

He grinned and pushed himself up onto his knees. He kissed her softly and then began to move once

again. He watched her face as he fucked her. He loved how she looked when she came. Her eyes

were closed and her mouth was open slightly. Her cheeks were flushed and her lips were parted. She

was beautiful. He wanted to watch her orgasm for hours.

He wanted to see every expression on her face. He wanted to make her cum over and over again. He

watched her face as he picked up speed. He felt himself getting closer and closer to the edge. He

leaned forward and whispered into her ear, "I love you." She gasped and threw her head back. He felt

her muscles tighten around him and he slammed into her one last time.

He felt his own orgasm building and he couldn't stop himself from crying out. She felt him cum inside

her and she came with him, screaming his name. They collapsed together on the bed, both breathing

heavily. Jacob rolled off of her and lay next to her. He put his arm around her and pulled her close. She

sighed contentedly and snuggled against him. He ran his hand down her side and cupped her breast.

She turned to look at him. "That was amazing."

He simply smiled at her, brushing a sweaty strand from her face.

Silence followed before she broke it, "You really love me?"

He stared right into her eyes, "For as long as I can remember."

She smiled up at him. Sie was about to talk but he put a finger to her lips, "You don't have to say it

back."

"I was going to say, I want to be with you. I don't want to be alone anymore. So let's form the bond."
