The Human Mate

CHAPTER THIRTEEN -- Brother

Raven Lynn Stone

It felt like I was up at cloud nine, I can't believe what I have just heard.. this gorgeous being just told me that he wants to court me... am I dreaming or what? Wait he didn't ask me though, he wanted it for his reward.

My lucky ass is crying. I feel like I could catch stars and move mountains after I have heard those words.

"D-Did I heard that right? You want to court me?" I asked still in a state of shock. I wanted to make sure if I really heard that right. I might be hearing things.

"Yes, I want to court you Ravey... I want to get to know you better," he said it again so bluntly, his red glinting eyes were still looking straight into my eyes.

I heaved a sigh and asked him again.

"B-But why? Why do you want to get to know me better?" he frowned like it was the dumbest question I have ever ask in my whole life.

He became silent for many more minutes and the atmosphere between us was starting to get more awkward. Before I could mutter another topic to ease out the tension in our air, he then carefully hold my hands that made me look up to him.

"I badly want to say how much I feel something very special for you but for me, it isn't enough so I want to court you for you to see what and how I truly feel," he explained, my heart was pounding like I was being chased by a ghost.

"I kept on leaving white roses here when you're asleep, I was really worried that I have made you cry and upset after our last conversation," he added, so he was the one leaving those flowers... and wait how did he know that I cried? I shook my head and listened to him.

"Give me a chance to prove myself to you," he sincerely said and because of that, my head immediately nodded that made his enchanting red eyes glow.

"I want to hear your yes please..." Zionel said, almost close to pleading.

"Y-Yes, okay... it's your reward after all," he chuckled because of my answer and hugged me.

He carefully placed my wavy long hair on the other side of my shoulders, giving him access to my bare neck. I flinched when he started planting soft warm kisses over there that made my knees go weak again. He then kissed my lips passionately like he was thirsty for it.

A soft involuntary moan has escaped my lips when he moves his lips and kissed my ear lobe, he grabbed my waist and hoisted me up until I was carefully placed comfortably on his lap. I bit my lips upon feeling him, almost near my center. I must be hearing things when I heard him groan again.

I can feel the heat that was starting to climb off my cheeks. He was still planting soft, warm, tempting kisses on my neck and then I noticed that I was unconsciously tilting my head to the side to give him more access. I was in that trance again! Why the hell am I not stopping him!?

"Z-Zionel..." I tried to call out his name, failing cause it sounds like I was moaning his name, even though I can't see him I can feel him smirking between his tempting sweet kisses.

"I'm sorry... I just can't help it, you smell so damn good... it's enough to intoxicate me," I heard him utter something after sniffing the back of my hair like it was a drug to him.

Is he even really sorry? Geez.

"W-What? I must've smelled so bad right now cause I haven't taken a bath for days, just brushing my teeth and washing my face with a towel!" I shouted, but he just shrugged and broke his hug to me. He placed me again on his side making sure I won't feel any pain from my legs.

We talked about ourselves for several hours before leaving me again alone in his room, Carson came into our room like there was something urgent that has happened that needed Zionel's presence.

I learned that his father, the former Alpha was currently our Principal at Westville University while his mother is his secretary over there. He told me that he also has a younger brother who likes to travel a lot so he told me he's not here always, but they have many friends that are living with them like Yuna, Charisse, Zach, Liam, and Carson.

When he turned 18, his father passed his role into him ever since then, he was responsible for any situations that are happening inside and outside of the pack. He must be really busy.

I tried to recall what just happened between us earlier... I sheepishly smiled and squealed like I was fangirling on some KPOP idol groups. Zionel Tyler White is courting me!! Oh my God! A Greek god is courting me!

Before I could even lose my mind, I tried to get up from my bed, I was overjoyed because I can finally stand again, my butt was starting to get hurt just by sitting or lying down for days, there's still a tingling sensation every time I move it but it was now bearable unlike before.

I tried to walk around slowly inside the room and decided to take a bath, I was about to take my clothes off since no one is around when somebody entered the room.

"Brother! Where are you? I'm home! Did ya miss me?" a tall man entered the room, he looks a bit intimidating because of his extreme yellow eyes, broad shoulders, and curly hair, he also has a bit of resemblance with Zionel.

I immediately lowered my top, that was a freaking close one!

"Zio-- oh my apologies! I didn't know he has a lovely visitor today! What's your name beautiful lady?" he asked when he saw me on the side, he immediately walked towards me to hold my hand, and before I could even react, he kissed it.

"You're a human... why is there a human here? Hmm? I'm curious plus you're so lovely.. wow your hair color is amazing! It's like starlight on day and night!" he complimented after he has kissed my hand, he curiously eyed me and smirked. I immediately felt the goosebumps after he does that.

I don't know why I can't utter any words, maybe I was just so shocked and intimidated by his presence, he was about to touch my hair when some strong hands grabbed my waist and placed me on his back.

"Touch her again or you'll die!" Zionel shouted at the man in front of him. He grabbed the back of my hands and wiped it with his bare hands like he was trying to get rid of some dirt, I curiously checked my hand and I'm sure there's no dirt in it.

What the hell is he doing? This is the second time that he did that.

"Oh, no... A human for a mate? Dude good luck to you hahaha!" the man laughed like a maniac, Zionel just holds my hands even more tightly.

"So what's her name? She's very lovely and has such amazing curves--" I jolt up in shock when Zionel immediately punched the man who was only still laughing at the moment.

"Don't look at her! I own her!" Zionel was furious, he was really damn mad.

"S-Stop! Zionel!" I horridly screamed, I was worried someone would get hurt. They were just punching each other non-stop on the floor like some delinquents. I was about to grab his arms when someone talked.

"That's enough puppies, have shame on you a lady is watching," someone called from the door and it was Carson who is now walking towards us.

“I’m sorry that you have to witness that lady, they argue a lot of times like kids, but it’s normal,” Carson explained to me, so I just smiled. I also found out from Zionel that Carson is his beta, which means he’s the second in command of Zionel, he helps him in many ways he can. Zionel told me that I could also ask Carson about his whereabouts.

“It’s alright, I’m actually not surprised anymore if that’s their normal for them,” I mumbled which made him laugh.

"So Timothy, you have decided to go home again? Don't have any luck on finding your mate?" Carson added that made me look at him again, so this is Zionel's younger brother? That's why the resemblance explained a lot.

But for me, Zionel is still the hottest man in the room. I tried my best to hide my sheepish grin, hopefully, no one notices me. It would be so embarrassing if someone did.

Zionel stopped punching Timothy who was still only laughing, he still looked pissed as he walks slowly on my side, possessively grabbing my waist with his toned arms. What is his problem?

"N-Nope, I don't have any luck… but I see my brother here has one, and take note it's a human! He despised humans... but look at him now being a dramatic possessive Alpha!" after Timothy has said those words, I glance at Zionel, he still looks pissed.

"We were alarmed that someone has entered our border, but Zionel guessed that it was probably you and he was right," Carson commented and he went to Timothy's side to grab his arms, moving him away from Zionel even more.

I don't freaking understand what they are talking about. What is the border?

"He rushed in here because he knows that you'll be going straight right into his room where his mate is staying in," Carson added like he was trying to explain everything.

"Good thing he entered the room very loudly though, I was about to take off my clothes--" I tried to butt in, but all three of them just faced me causing me to stop with Zionel loosening his grip on my waist.

"You took off what?!" Zionel shouted, his voice was like booming all over this big err house? Mansion? I don't know... I haven't been outside this room.

I reluctantly faced Zionel, his dark thick eyebrows were furrowed at me, eyes were glinting from red to black. A normal person would find it weird but wow, I always find his eyes so very enchanting.

Maybe I'm not a normal person after all.

"Raven, dang lady you're making the situation worst," I heard Carson nervously whispered on my side, so I faced Zionel who I think was ready to kill someone with his glare.

"Woops... too bad I entered a bit early!" I frowned at what Timothy has said. He knows how to get into his brother's nerve. He about to jump on Timothy again when I grabbed his arms.

"I-I didn't take off anything okay? I said I was about to because I want to take a bath so please calm down, stop acting as something has happened between us two," I said trying to calm him down, so he just faced me. I could hear Carson gasping on our side exaggeratedly because of what he has witnessed.

"Leave," we three got silent after Zionel utter that word, it was so deep like he was trying to control his emotions.

"Leave this room now Carson and you... we'll have a very serious talk later," he said through gritted teeth while pointing at his brother, all of a sudden we're both left alone inside this room again.

I was about to utter a word to him when he hugged me, the sparks were igniting with our bodies pressed against each other. It's so warm and comfortable. I don't know why I feel so safe every time he hugs me.

"I'm sorry... I lost my cool over there.. but can I ask you that favor again?" he broke his hug to me and faced me.

"It's okay.. just don't hurt each other okay? What favor?" I asked and he just stared at me, down to my lips and hands.

"Don't let other men touch you, you're mine... everything about you is mine, they don't have any right to touch you unless they want an early demise," he said through gritted teeth as he grabbed my waist possessively, making me a bit terrified because of his remark.

"O-Okay okay, I will but you won't really hurt them right?" I asked, hoping he was just joking but he just looked at me, a sinister smile formed on his lips causing my heart to skip a beat.

"I should go now, stay here I'll be back soon enough," he replied, he planted a kiss on my forehead after he placed me on the bed before leaving me again alone in his room.

He won't hurt anyone right?
