The Werewolf Next Door

11

As we got to the charred remains of the house, I couldn't help feel sad, my family's house was now in ruins. I was truly surprised that my dad wasn't out here, but I guess he was adding this to the long list of failures in my life. I walked toward the part of the house that was still standing,  the side where the rooms was pretty much what was left of the house, I walked in where my room had been, and Jasmine into her room, there were things I could save, so I collected the things that were still in good condition, I was looking through my clothes, when I heard something break and then Jasmine screamed, I ran to her room, and she was trying to pull herself up, her leg had fallen through the floor, I grabbed her hand and pulled her up.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, I was just surprised."

 I looked in the hole she fell through and found she had actually pushed something to the other side, and it had fallen down, it looked like a box of some kind. I took my things and with Jasmine at my heels, we both went down, it was a metal box, it looked toasted a little but otherwise it was fine, I broke off the small lock on it and inside was a whole lot of stacks of letters, It had my aunt Julie's name on them.

"Come on let's get these things out of here."

"Yeah, Okay."

 We gathered things and put them in the car, and we sat down and looked at the letters, they were all in order from when they started until the last one. The first one was about the time my aunt was seventeen or so,  how she looked beautiful and was amazing, when I looked down on who wrote it, my jaw dropped, and I had to reread a couple times.

"What what's wrong?"

"Tyler's father wrote this to my aunt, when they were young."

"What, are you sure?"

"Yeah, this was his first letter to her, it's a couple of days after she turned seventeen."

We read a few more and the way he spoke to my aunt was so endearing and loving, how he wanted to make her a part of his life but not because it would lift the curse from their families but because he really did love her. As I read my heart broke for Tyler's father, his father would beat him and my aunt was the only one who cared for him, she was the one that gave him peace.They would see each other in secret and from one of the letters I read they had been intimate too, he had made her his mate, they never had a baby but they loved each other, the last few letters were really gut wrenching, he was more or less aggressive about things, he demand she have his child, and then the last one was just before Tyler was born.

I looked around and it was night time, and Jasmine had fallen asleep. I looked at my phone and there were about six missed calls and ten texts from Tyler. I sighed and put the letters back how they were but took them with me, the last one, Mr. White he had said good-bye to my aunt, he had picked an other to bare his child, I wonder what my aunt wanted from him, that made him walk away from her. Well, unless I found her side of the conversation we'll never know.

"Jasmine."

"Yeah, what...What happened?!"

"Nothing but let's get back to the house."

"Yeah, okay." she yawned and stretched, and turned the car on, and headed back to the pack house.

When we got back, the guys were sitting outside, and Tyler was right at the front, I could feel how pissed he was, but I stayed calm and kept walking, but before I could walk past he grabbed my arm.

"Why the hell didn't you answer my calls!?"

"You had nothing to worry about, we were fine."

I could tell his wolf was close to coming out, so I didn't push it, and ducked my head a little. He let me go and I walked inside, I asked one of the maids if she knew how to take the smell of smoke out of clothes, she nodded and I took the other stuff upstairs. After she told me to clean them with a mix, so I did and was just cleaning them up in the room, when Tyler stormed in. There was something in the way he was acting that made me stop and look at him, there was something wrong, his energy was really aggressive and so were his actions. I could feel it in me too, his anger, frustration, and fear. He suddenly turned to look at me, his eyes yellow from his wolf being so close to losing it, he walked almost drunkenly toward me, I didn't move, when his lips slammed onto mine, his kiss hungry and desperate. His hands ripping off my clothes and his touch was surprisingly gentle.

"Let it flow, don't fight it." said my wolf I agreed, if it came down to it, I won't fight it. For some reason the way he needed me made it more arousing. I myself was ripping his shirt and pants off too, the more I touched his skin, the more I wanted him, all too soon, we were on the bed, now completely naked and hot.

"Do you want me?" He asked as he nipped and kissed my neck, right where his mark was, making me even eager.

"Yes!" I gasped as he teased me into a frenzy.

"Inside you?"

"Hell yes!"

Without too many more words, he got between my legs, and I felt him, gentle and careful. It was just a second of pain and pressure, then he moved and my body burned for more. I could never imagine this moment any better then now, the whole moment was intoxicating and exciting, I had never thought I would ever want anyone this much, or felt so complete the way I did now.

"Mark him." I heard my wolf say in my head, for some reason I left off doing it, I had never heard of the female marking their mates.

"Do it now!"

Before I could really rethink anything, I bit lightly but deep enough to draw blood, on his neck, with my canines, he shuttered as he came and I bit down on his neck, and cleaned it with my tongue, his blood sweet in my mouth, I kissed him lightly on the lips.

"Mine."

He kissed me back and now calm and relaxed he fell asleep and so did I.

(Tyler's POV)

I was seeing bits and pieces of old memories...no new memories, I was walking through Natalia's grandmother's house...no, I saw the reflection in the mirror. How was I seeing Natalia's memories?

"We are one." whispered my wolf.

"What does that mean?"

"They marked us as theirs, now we are one."

As he said that I saw her when she marked me, and the joy she felt when she did.

"Mine." she had said

The sound of that rang in my ears as I woke up and found we were in bed, with nothing but a sheet covering us, Natalia was facing the other way, her beautiful naked body curled up in a half ball. We had...made love for the first time last night, after I was a complete asshole to her, she still willingly gave me peace.

Over these past few days, have been crazy, I was so overwhelmed, when I thought she could be in danger it scared me and when she came back, the relief was so great, but at the same time I was pissed she had made me worry so much. Then my wolf for some reason just was fighting for control, when I felt her skin and her reaction, it had been right and had been amazing. She had marked me, I had never heard of this from my father or at all in all my life. I could feel her, her thoughts and her feelings were like my own too. I had never imagined our bond to be this great, her wolf too was incredible.

"What does this mean?" I asked my wolf, he seemed content with what was happening.

"We aren't alone, boy, not ever again."

I had more questions but her warmth was more inviting, so I curled up behind her, holding her tightly to me and just getting lost in our dreams again.

(Natalia's POV)

The next morning when I woke up, and felt a little sore. Other wise the memory of last night was forever burned into my mind in the best way. What i wondered was why s*x was the answer to his freak out. Honestly not that I minded, but it did scare me a little. As I laid there just thinking I felt him kissing my back, I had to laugh, but I turned to look at him.

"Morning."

"Good morning, to you, you seem in a better mood."

"Yeah, sorry about scaring you, everything just felt out of control, then when you were gone, that just made everything worse."

I ran my fingers along his cheek, as he held my hand and kissed it.

"So, are you sorry we took it this far or...."

"Are you?" he asked in a serious tone.

Teasingly I put on a serious face, and sat there pretending to think, when I started to feel his worry, I pulled him into a kiss.

"I don't regret anything, I've only been worried about how things are going between us."

"Yeah, what I said yesterday wasn't how I really felt, I was an ass, it's just being back here it brings back a lot of old memories growing up, Father was the kind of guy that never asked for help, even when it came to raising me, he never asked for help, so when I saw you helping me without asking, I was in a mix of relief and failure, and I took it out on you without meaning to."

I cuddled closer to him, and just laid my head on his chest.

"I noticed but I kind have an idea why, he went the route with everything."

"What do you mean?"

I got up and walked over to the letters, and just brought a few over to the bed. I handed them to him and he recognized the handwriting. He opened one and read.

"My father and your aunt had been together."

"they had been writing to each other for years, Ty, but something happened, because some of these letters actually make it sound like he wanted her, but something was holding him back, did your grandfather have an arranged marriage for your father?"

"No, I had understood that we had been trying  to close the pact with your family, but never had it happen, now turns out my father had already done that, but then what happened?"

"I honestly want to figure that out, maybe even go as far as talk to my aunt, but it could be a sore subject, do you know if your father had the letters from my aunt."

"Everything is in the office, we can look through that."

"We?"

"Yeah, I want to find out, why he ended up being with my mother if he already had Julie, maybe a few more things would make sense."

I hugged him tightly, we talked about how I would handle the club and the other business while he had the construction and the pack to deal with, we came to an agreement, sealing it with a little more fooling around, then getting up showering and getting dressed. I headed to the office he went down with the pack for morning training, then the same question as befreo came to my mind, but now I could ask him without actually looking at him, he was so focused on the training, that when I popped into him head, it caught him off guard.

"SO you didn't answer my question."

I felt him grin to himself, and closed off the others and only listened to me.

"What was that?"

"Why did s*x work for your freak out last night?"

He thought about it for a minute.

"From what I've noticed when I'm with you, your skin, your scent, anything that has to do with you, brings me peace, like I know I can trust you even in my most vulnerable moment, and you'll never betray me, I know it and my wolf knows it, you are ours to share anything that troubles us."

I felt touched by that, he trusted me with anything, as did I.

"SO then why do the wolves think they can be everything without a mate?"

We both went quiet for a minute, then I had an idea, I jumped up from the desk and called all the woman that had gone to the training, according to Tyler there were some out there with him ,but they left as soon as I called. They meet me in the back garden, some looked a little annoyed and some were honestly curious.

"Okay Ladies, I just came to a realization, something that will help us find a better place among this world of men that we live in, but I need some volunteers to put this to the test, so who's with me."

"What does this involve exactly?"asked one of the women.

"Stacy, right, nothing to major, but our wolves really believe we are nothing more but a obstacle what we need to make them realize we aren't, and how they can't resist us as much I as we can't resist them."

"Okay, we are not going to be sleeping around..."

"That's not where I was going with this, but if you think that's the answer to you, then you guys can try for yourselves, but I was leaning more toward the basics: Food, temptations, child birth, and the like."

They all looked at each other now a little confused. I separated them into two groups: the ones already mated or married, and the one that were still single, and figured their strengths. Us that were already mated, food, s*x, and definitely presence. Some of the women shared that their lives with their mates wasn't unbearable but they really did want them to do everything including some of the heavy lifting in the house, they were still human, I asked if any of them wanted to be turned, they said not yet because of plans for a family. The single women were more scared of not attracting the right mate, and then tying themselves to the wrong one. So we came up with a game plan and would soon be putting it into play, these men had no idea what was coming.
