Was I dead?
I opened my eyes slowly when I didn't feel pain as expected.
Kendrick had dropped me from the window of such a tall building. I should feel my bones break as I landed on the hard ground. However, nothing came up.
When I opened my eyes I noticed that I had landed on something hard indeed, but my bones were intact. Nothing broke.
I had landed in Kendrick's arms.
He had caught me. Why did he catch me? Why did he throw me if he was going to just catch me?
I double checked to be sure that I wasn't hallucinating, probably from the fall. However, I was stunned to see that Kendrick had indeed caught me.
I was hold tightly to him as if my life depended on it. Well my life did depend on how hard I held on to him.
What I didn't understand was why he saved me.
I raised my head to look at him and I saw that he was still in his half transformed state.
"Thank you," I muttered softly.
He didn't respond, instead he dropped me. I fell on the hard ground and winced from the pain.
"Ouch," I cried as I rubbed my butt.
He leaned to my height and looked in my eyes as if trying to intimidate me. however, the look in his eyes said otherwise.
He looked like he was thirsty for blood. Then I recalled his nickname. He was called the Blood Lord for a reason, could this be why.
I moved on my butt, trying to go as far away from him as I could. He took my leg and dragged me closer then lets go.
I immediately moved backward, but he got back and pulled me again.
"Please," I begged with both my hands joined.
"You wanted to see my wolf, didn't you?" He asked in his demonic voice. He leaned closer again and I saw the smirk on his face.
He was enjoying the way he tortured me.
What I found strange was that his scent still haunted me in such a deadly situation. I was so in love with the scent that I was fighting the urge to grab his shirt and inhale his scent to my satisfaction or if possible bury my face in his chest and bury myself in his intoxicating scent.
How could I still be bothered by his scent?
"No......" I screamed immediately. "I do not want to see!" I shook my head in denial. "I do not want to see your wolf!"
"You will have to see..." He left his words incomplete as he shifted into a big silver wolf. He shifted so easily like it wasn't a big deal to shift at will.
I immediately closed my eyes with my eyes but left as much space enough to take a peek. His wolf was beautiful and gigantic.
I had never seen anything like it in my entire existence. It's no wonder Kendrick was feared all around the werewolf world.
He turned around severally for reasons known only to him. I stood in awe as I watched his beautiful fur in the moonlight. It shone so bright that I feared I might get blinded.
He came towards me slowly, his eyes shone with golden light that looked like a molten. I slowly brought down my hand to take in the phenomenon.
My hand went forward to touch the beautiful fur. I gasped as I felt the softness and warmth emitting from the wolf.
Why does he seem different from his human form?
I felt a jolt of energy burst through me as my hand brushed through the fur and my body shook strangely.
I could feel something strange going on in my body as I trembled violently. I stepped away from the wolf and turned my back to him, ready to flee.
However, there seem to be no life in my leg. I lost my balance and fell on my knees. I could feel my clothes tightening against my body while my body took a different shape.
Was I shifting? But why?
Though, I've had my first shift and it was nothing like I'm feeling now. However, I never shift on my own except during the full moon.
I couldn't understand why it was happening now after I touched Kendrick's wolf.
Could it be because he is my mate?
I shifted into my wolf and watched Kendrick's wolf carefully just in case he tries to attack me.
He circled me for a while before touching my head with his right paw.
'Mate.' His wolf muttered as he rubbed his head against mine.
At least the wolf was honest, unlike Kendrick who wouldn't accept our bond.
'Mate,' Zara replied excitedly.
'I'm Lyon. What's your name?' Kendrick's wolf introduced without delay.
'I'm Zara,' Zara replied keenly.
They both seemed excited to finally meet each other unlike Kendrick and I who couldn't stand the sight of each other.
Even though, I didn't like the man. He had a beautiful wolf and I couldn't resist it's beauty and charm. Also, the wolf was way better than the man himself, hence I decided that it wouldn't be nice to deny him meeting with his mate.
Besides, Zara had been restless and eager to meet her mate. I couldn't deprive of that. So, I stayed aside and let them have their moment.
Kendrick's wolf ran forward, urging Zara with his tempting look. Zara ran after him and they both stopped beside the artificial lake behind the manor.
They both watched their reflection in the water under the moonlight. Kendrick's wolf brushed his hand through Zara's fur and she purrs.
Kendrick's wolf ran towards the forest behind the manor and Zara went after. Watching them both run after each other made me feel like they were meant for each other. They looked so in love, yet it's the opposite for Kendrick and I.
Zara fell to the ground, panting through her mouth. Lyon fell atop Zara and licked her face then he suddenly flipped Zara and dug his teeth right into her neck, making Zara scream.
He had marked her.
Goodness! Kendrick's wolf just marked my wolf. Does this mean that I've been marked Kendrick?
Will I have to bear the blood Lord's mark?
