The New Guy

Marked

After tossing and turning all night Mel finally woke up, much later than usual , 10 AM and saw that she had several missed messages from Tyler. Crap, she was supposed to meet him at the Diner for breakfast this morning at 8:30. She gave him a quick call and told him she wasn’t feeling good today and sorry for missing out on their breakfast date.

Mel’s mind was racing about last night and that dream she had and Lukah, she couldn’t stop thinking about Lukah. She had to find him and get more answers.

Just then there’s was a knock at the door, she jumped straight up, startled. She was the only one home right now, her parents were at work and her sister was at her friends house. She slowly snuck downstairs and looked through the peephole of the front door. It was him. She stood there silently deciding what do.

“I can hear you breathing Mel, we need talk.” She unlocked he door and opened it and she got smacked in the face with his strong seductive scent. He was very rough around but somehow she could tell she was safe. They made their way over to the couch and sat down.

“Melanie, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to spring all that information so suddenly on you last night.”

“I came to tell you that your pack is in danger of losing its royal standing if you do not come back to our homeland.”

Mel needed so many answers, “if werewolves exist, and I supposedly am one, how would I not know that I was a werewolf, who so people not know werewolf’s exist?”

“Werewolves are sworn to secrecy from the human world, that’s why no ones know we exist. Werewolves don’t start to turn until after they have taken a life. You have some abilities before such as a strong sense of smell and hearing.”

Mel shuddered at that last sentence. She has always had an almost superhuman sense of smell, and very good hearing as well. Is this why Lukah smelled so strongly? She wondered. She was starting to believe him, but this was all so much.

He reached over and put his hand on hers to confront her because he could tell she wasn’t upset. The second he touch her, it felt like a heat wave of electricity ran through her body and her stomach twinged again. He quickly pulled back his hand, he must have felt it as well.

“What was that!?” Mel exclaimed. Just then she realized the back of her neck was stinging like a new tattoo, she found a mirror and to her utter shock, an infinity tattoo was there placed right on her vertebrae on the middle of her neck.

“We’ve been marked, Lukah said in utter shock.
