Texas (Wolfstate Chronicles)

Chapter 26

Ch. 26 / 31 Dec 15, 2025

Colten's eyes narrowed in on Abigail in an instant, she stood in one of his plaid shirts and her ripped up dirty jeans, looking awake, refreshed and amazing.

Her blue eyes were on him, her teeth biting her bottom lip, till it slipped out, red from the bite it had been subjected to.

His heart pounded in his chest as his vision blurred from the mating instincts that started to rip across his body.

His wolf was captivated and about to trip all over to get to her and mate the perfect woman.

“Abi!” Chloe exclaimed, “Oh my gosh!” She got up and walked to her, looking her over, “Are you okay?”

Abigail's eyes broke her mate and she nodded to the luna, “I was cold.”

Colten's heart picked up from her words, because he'd left her, she had woke up. He growled and she looked back to him, sensing his off mood.

Her heart raced, feeling it from across the kitchen.

Grayson grunted, “Cold? Well, I think it's hot...”

“Grayson.” Chloe hissed.

Abigail stepped forward, twisting her fingers together. Her eyes fixed on Colten, he went to move towards her.

“You're probably starving!” Chloe exclaimed, breaking their magnetic pull to pieces.

Colten growled again and Abigail smiled at him but Chloe, she was oblivious and happy to be serving her it seemed.

“I am hungry.” Abigail breathed aloud.

“Sit, I'll get you food...” Chloe walked away, busing herself.

Abigail ignored Chloe's request though and walked to her silent mate, “You left me.”

He looked down at her, “How did you know I was with you?”

“I could feel you.” She put her hand on his bicep and stepped up to him, “I kept trying to touch you but I couldn't wake up.”

Her touch lit him up. He burned and wreathed, his wolf was wanting to take her. He held it all back, putting his hand on her lower back and gripping her.

She purred and pressed her face to his chest, “Mm.”

“Does everything feel okay?” He asked her softly in her ear.

She nodded, her blue eyes darting to him.

He closed the distance with her and kissed her neck.

She took in a sharp breath and gripped him, “Colten.”

He sunk his mouth against her skin and bit into her tenderly, the fantasy of marking her became a reality, “Abigail.”

She tugged at his shirt, “Why did you leave?”

“They wanted me to eat.” He told her softly.

“Have you?” She asked.

He nodded as Chloe broke up their quiet conversation.

“Here, Abi.”

Abigail looked to the offering of food and swallowed, Colten could feel her hunger.

“Come on.” He pushed her forward, sitting her down beside Mia in an empty chair.

The woman smiled at her, “You're very beautiful.”

“Oh.” Abigail stumbled on the compliment, “Thank you.”

Colten stood behind her, his hands on the back of the chair, “Where are Justin and Tyler?”

Grayson looked up to him, “Sleeping probably, I had them out for twenty hours straight. That being said, I don't think they like me much.” He laughed to himself.

Colten nodded and looked down to Abigail as she started to eat, he wanted her to eat, gain her strength and then he wouldn't wait any longer.

He leaned over to her ear, “Do you want some water, baby?”

She nodded, looking to him, “Yes, please.”

He knew she must have had questions or even something more to say but she was staying so reserved with it, of course, Abigail Redding seemed to accept things like that.

He walked to the sink, his hands were starting to shake, he tried to kick back his instincts but they were going mad for her. His remorse for Peter kicked in, he shouldn't have blamed him so much for his lack of control with Mia – it obviously a difficult thing to hold back when you were both the same.

He brought the glass over to her and sat it down by her hand. His fingers lifted and ran over her wrist.

She trembled and looked up to him, letting out a sigh.

“Eat, baby.”

She nodded and looked back down to the bowl of chilli.

He pulled himself from her and stepped back, watching as she ate.

Chloe was cleaning and then the kitchen was just silent, they didn't speak. No one spoke.

Mia turned to him, “Do you want to sit, alpha?”

“No.” He looked to Mia and shook his head, if he sat he'd be even more agitated.

Abigail swallowed what was in her mouth, “Alpha?” Maybe she'd forgotten but he had told her that already.

Grayson smiled, “Yeah, you're boyfriend runs this joint.”

Abigail looked to him, “Oh... Oh, right.”

Colten watched, he felt her heart quicken, he hoped that didn't mean she was afraid. He never wanted her to feel afraid of her pack or her home.

She pushed her bowl back after a few more bites.

Colten stared at her as she turned in her chair to him, “What's wrong?”

“I'm full.” She answered him simply, not taking her eyes from him.

Chloe walked over and stared at her bowl, “But you hardly ate! You need to eat more.”

Colten then growled at the little luna and Chloe just lifted an eyebrow in displeasure at him.

Abigail stood, “It's okay. I'm losing my appetite.”

Grayson laughed, “Yeah, makes perfect sense, no need to explain, luna.”

The blonde looked to him, “What?”

Colten couldn't take it anymore, or the teasing, he was done. He took her hand, “Come, Abi.”

She followed him and he took her from the kitchen, not even glancing back.

Abigail grabbed him down the hall and crushed her mouth against his. Her heart pounded and it encouraged his wolf.

He groaned, biting into her plump mouth. The undeniable taste of his mate flew through his senses like wild fire.

He pulled her towards the stairs.

She tripped into him and smiled, “Colten...”

“Let's go.” He said in a deep voice, he wasn't going to last a second longer.

She climbed the stairs in front of him quickly and he was right behind her, watching her hips and lean legs as he did.

She turned to him at the top, “Ella's asleep?”

He smiled at her caring nature and stepped up to her slowly, “Luna.”

She smiled softly, “I don't really know what that means, Colt.”

He put an arm around her waist and kissed her again, “Alpha female.”

Her mouth drew back from his and he paused his advances.

“Is that what I am now?”

“If you want to be.” He breathed.

She smiled, “You give me so much choice all of the time.”

“In hopes you'll choose what I want, yeah.” He admitted his guilt.

She giggled and let him kiss her again, “And what do we do now?”

He put his hand to her cheek gently, “Whatever you want.”

She giggled, “What do you want?”

“You.” He kissed her without hesitation and walked her backwards a few feet, but he couldn't take the slowness of her steps. He picked her up abruptly and carried her the rest of the way to his room.

She laughed at him and he noticed she was no different then how she'd been before.

He pressed his back to the door and it shut with a thud.

“Jeez, Colten, their gonna know what we're doing.” She smirked at him.

“Oh, they know.” He took her to the bed and put her down, “Nice clothes.” He commented.

She shrugged, “I didn't know what else to put on.”

He stripped her dirty jeans and lifted her up, pulling his shirt off her smooth frame, “Better.”

She smiled up at him, “Colten.”

He shared her amusement and took her shoulder pushing her to her stomach. He pulled off his t-shirt as she laughed.

“What are you doing, Colt?”

He came down around her, studying her lean shoulders and back, “I'm going to mark you.”

She wiggled under him, he could feel his mate's excitement even if she had no idea what was going on, “Mmm... What's that mean, alpha?”

He groaned from her words, “I'm not your alpha, baby.”

She leaned up on her arms towards him and he kissed her neck, tasting her sensitive skin.

She moaned, “I don't mind it if you are. It's sort of hot, like your plaid shirts.”

“What's wrong with you?” He joked, liking how deliciously warped she was.

She looked up at him over her shoulder and giggled, “Nothing, Mr.Turner.”

He growled and dropped his mouth against her, kissing her shoulder, “Ready?”

She moaned, nodding her head, till her neck was well exposed for him.

He gripped around her tiny waist and undid his jeans, deciding he wanted the ingression with the mark and kicked them off the side of the bed.

His mouth sunk against her skin, hovering, holding his bite back for one more short second, “I love you, Abigail.”

She moaned, pushing her hips against his thickness in want.

He bit into her, not being able to hold back any further. Hitching his canines on her.

She arched back, “Ah, Colten!”

He held it on her, adjusting his weight, his arm around her waist tightened as she sunk from her hands and knees to the bed under them. She gave into the claim.

He followed, unhinging his jaw as the mark burned into her smooth flesh.

Studying it, his heart started to pound, he wanted the rest of the bond finished.

She panted under him, “That hurt.”

He licked the tender mark and she moaned.

“And that's nice.” She breathed.

He pushed her knees under her and brought her up against his chest, kissing her cheek, “Sorry, if it was painful.”

She shook her head, “It was just a bit...”

He dropped his hand around her hips and met her heat, placing his fingers inside her.

“Unexpected.” She got out the rest of her sentence, shaking.

He licked the mark again and she called out.

“You are so loud, Abigail.”

She arched back and he kept her against him.

“There's more, Abi.” He said to her, “The mark is a claim, this will be a bond.”

She nodded, not really paying attention to him, “Yes, please.”

He smiled, “I was just telling you, baby.” He held her firm and entered her.

“Oh... yes...” She moaned.

He smiled at her non-filtration, “Abi, hush...”

She bit her bottom lip and arched up into his chest again, grinding her hips and ass against his growing self.

He felt himself expanding against her walls.

She dropped to her hands and knees, he followed, coming around his mate.

“Does it hurt, baby?”

She closed her eyes tightly and wiggled against him, “No.” She lied and he knew better.

It frustrated him, but he felt the bond sealing, his muscles tensing with passing seconds. He put his hand to her swollen heat and rubbed her. Trying to make the pain ease in his mate.

She moaned loudly, “Colten.”

He growled and rubbed her harder as he felt his hormones overtaking, his length increasing in her.

“Mmm.”

“Do you like that?” He got out the words, her walls beginning to constrict on him. Pulsing, causing him great pleasure.

His muscles over took, becoming rock hard and testing on his skin.

He dropped his mouth to her back, breathing heavily, attempting to concentrate.

“Colten, more!”

He grabbed her around the shoulders and brought her neck to his to mouth, biting into the mark he'd just branded her with.

She bucked against him, “Oh my.”

Sucking, he hoped the pain wouldn't be too much to hold back any pleasure for her in the moment. He felt the familiar gush of a woman as she started to break. Lifting his mouth off his mate, he pushed her to the bed, thrusting into her against the bonding lock.

She gripped the bed, “Colten!”

He hushed her.

She shut her eyes, moaning loudly, “It's so good.”

He smiled, she liked this. The instinct to finish her off with him consumed. The lock eased and he paused, enjoying the heightened, euphoric high of finally being mated. His alpha blood coursing through him.

Abigail whimpered under him, “Is that it?”

“No.” He slipped from her and turned her on her back, crushing around her, “Not if you don't want it to be. I don't want to hurt you.”

Her hands came to his shoulders and she smiled, shaking her head, “I want more. That was amazing.”

He inched himself back against her, “Relax, baby.”

Her thighs fell wider and he thrust into her.

She arched back on contact, “Mm.”

He dropped his mouth to her chest and took her breasts one at a time.

“Colten, please.” She begged him to start a pace, bucking hips on his full erection.

“Like this?” He started to thrust deep into her.

Not holding it together as she called aloud for him.

His pace sped up and he became wrapped in the fact that he was making love to his mate, for the first time in his life.

She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and held him close, “Colten.”

He kissed her, his hips pushing harder.

Moaning as he smelt the familiar smell of Abigail Redding as she came for him. He smiled, going harder for her, even against her tightening walls.

She panted, “God.”

He reached down and grabbed her hip, steading her as he finished her off, pushing through the constrictions and making her soar.

She tightened and begged, bucked and convulsed under him as his shaft was messaged by her female wolf need.

He came into her a few more times and her scent tipped him over, he filled her, holding his mouth on his mark.

She shuddered, relaxing under him. They stayed quiet for a minute of so. He didn't have much to say to her, and anything he did wasn't going to even being to explain how he felt.

She mumbled “That was... Mmm...”

Colten smiled, looking down at her, he ran his fingers over her cheek and she caught them in her teeth. Biting down on his fingers and licking.

He laughed, “I've heard it hurts more than what you let on.”

She let his fingers slip her mouth,“Does that happen every time?”

“No.” He laughed, “Once. But this will always feel good.”

“I can go for that.” She purred.

He rolled off her to the side and looked over his perfect mate.

She smiled at him, “I'm hungry.”

“That sounds about right.” He smiled back, “You should have ate more downstairs.”

“My heart was pounding. I needed to be alone with you.” She admitted, “I felt like I was going to pass out at any moment from just being around you.”

He leaned over and kissed her forehead, “How do you feel now, miss?”

“Perfect.” She nuzzled him.

His hand ran over her hips and she giggled from his soft touch. It tripped him off, causing him want and he dipped his fingers inside her.

She groaned, “You said, I'm bad but you're almost just as bad, Colten.”

Rubbing her gently till her eyes fluttered back, he watched, “You're beautiful.”

She moaned, her eyes shut, “You are unlike any man I have ever been with.”

He let up on the soft rub, “I've made a mess of you down there.”

“It's okay.” She bathed in her sweated flesh and flushed cheeks, “I enjoyed every second of it.”

He smiled and kissed her cheek, “Baby, I want more.”

She giggled, “Right now?”

“Right now.” He answered her, “But you should eat.”

“Whatever, I'll live.” She brushed it off.

He crawled back atop of her, normally he wouldn't take advantage of her as much but that night he would.

She smiled, “This is a way to make a baby, Colten.”

“I suppose.” He murmured.

“Is that what you want?” She breathed.

He groaned and dropped his mouth to her's, “Oh, yes.”

And she cried out in pleasure as he entered her once again.
