We don’t usually meet our mates until after we turn 18, on rare occasions it’s happened earlier, and normally a werewolf’s mate is another werewolf, however again on rare occasions a werewolf’s mate can be human. A very special human.” As he talks he trails his fingers up and down my arm leaving a path of tingles all down my arm.
“And how do you know that’s what I am to you. What makes you so sure?” I ask quietly.
“There’s a few indicators that the goddess gave us, so we would know and be sure.
First there’s your smell, you have a very intoxicating smell that is unlike anything I have ever smelt before and it is utterly captivating and unique. Then there’s the mate bond, it’s like an invisible cord with one end bound to me and the other bound to you and it’s magically pulling us together. We naturally gravitate towards each other. My eyes constantly search for you; I want to always be close to you. To be able to touch you, it’s been like living in my own personal hell these past few months. Also when we touch we can bring each other great pleasure; I know you feel the sparks when I touch you. I know you felt it that first time, I’ll never forget the look on your face. You were so shocked. It took all I had to control myself, I feel them too, only stronger than what you feel because of what I am.”
“Oh” I’m not sure what else to say and he chuckles a little at me. I knew there was something he was keeping from me, some truth he wasn’t telling me. I don’t think I ever expected it to be this, and unless he had actually shown me, there’s no way I would have believed him. But things now do make more sense, not everything though. Who is the other wolf? Who is sending me the notes? What about the other girl his dad wants him to marry. How does that even work if he is saying he is destined to be with me?
“What’s wrong?” he shifts behind me so he is looking at me, he looks so concerned. And beautiful. Why is he so perfect? ...concentrate Alex.
“What’s wrong, well lets see, where do I begin?” I say sarcastically, did he really just ask me what was wrong? Maybe he’s not so perfect after all.
“No, it’s not just that. I can hear your heart, it changes its speed when you get worried about things and I am starting to pick up on your feelings. I can sometimes tell if your happy or sad, scared or excited.” He’s looking at me waiting for me to answer. Do I just be truthful with him?
“Well, there’s still lots of things that don’t make any sense to me, like if I’m who you are meant to be with, why does your dad want you to marry that other girl, the one I saw you with at Joe’s?” I whisper the last bit and look down at my hands, I don’t usually feel insecure but it’s the feeling that’s washing over me now.
Logan places his fingers under my chin and lifts my face so I’m looking him in the eye.
“Let me be very clear so there is no doubt what so ever in your mind, you Alexia are that girl, not Caitlyn, not Tara, not any other girl anywhere in the world, its just you, only you. For always and forever. It also means that I’m the only guy for you, no one else, not O'connor, not anyone. Just me. Just us, always and forever. Do you think that’s okay with you? Because there’s no going back, once you’ve said yes and I mark you, you’re stuck with me. So you need to be one hundred per cent certain that I am what you want. That’s what I meant that day when I said that it would take away your free will, once I mark you and the bond forms fully, you wont have a choice. You wont ever want anyone else.” The intensity in his eyes as he speaks is full of so much passion and certainty.
“What exactly do you mean by marking me?” a playful smirk appears on his face and his hand trails from my cheek to my neck and he pushes my hair off my shoulder leaving it exposed. He doesn’t say anything but places a few small kisses there. I really do have a weakness there.
“My mark will sit upon your neck, right here.” He indicates by placing another kiss there. I don’t say anything; just try to hold my groan of pleasure in.
“It will let all other wolves know that you belong to me” I lean back when he says that and raise my eyebrows questioningly.
“Don’t look at me like that, in the werewolf world when I say that you belong to me, I just mean that you are mine, my mate. It lets other wolves know that you are mated to someone and they need to back off and not touch you.” His eyes start glowing that golden colour.
“What about a human, what would it mean to another human” I don’t even know why I’m asking the question. He looks like he does know why I’ve asked and his face hardens.
“Why, are you worried about what O'Connor will think when he sees it?” he asks a little harshly.
“No, its not just him, its everybody, unless there’s more wolves at school I don’t know about then everyone else I know is human, if and it is an if, I let you do this I just want to know what they would see, what would my aunt see?” I say honestly, I
