Blood Moon

Chapter 14: Together forever

After a half an hour of back and forth Jarred decided on Chinese. Which to mine and Jarred's amusement, Liam wasn't all to fond on claiming he had bad experiences with it, basically he was miserable because he didn't know how to use chopsticks but he was too embarrassed to say so.

While we were waiting we played video games which I honestly sucked at but it amused Jarred so at the end of the day it was worth it. I knew he felt alone right now especially since his sister being occupied with Andy and his best friend found his mate but I also knew that he wasn't going to let it show or at least he would try for it not to. He slipped up when he thought no one was paying attention.

I spoke to Liam about it just the other day and we had agreed that he and Jarred would go out for a guys night tomorrow evening.

Which unfortunately would leave me alone for a few hours but that also meant I could catch up on all the packs paperwork and my heavy loud of homework.

It was a good distraction and I honestly could use the time alone.

A half an hour later Liam walked in with a armful of food mainly Jarred's. We sat and ate quietly the excitement and playfulness of the day seemed to have died down.

When the time came for bed I walked around the house closing all the windows and curtains and locking doors. This had become a habit after what happened to my dad, call me paranoid but it made me feel safe.

I walked up the stars towards my bedroom saying goodnight to Jarred along the way.

Since Liam had been staying by me he basically had his own side of my walk in closet and everything. As I walked in I heard the shower running, so I walked towards my desk which was located at the corner of my bedroom and I placed the paperwork I had earlier on.

Considering my plans had changed I decided to carry on with it here.

I don't know how long I say there reading, signing and making notes but I felt Liam's warm touch on my shoulders sending sparks throughout my body. Turning towards him slowly with a smile on my face he kissed my lips softly and held my hands in his.

"You've been working too hard I don't want you to sit here at night with all this work you need to take a break at some point", he said with concern leaking through his voice.

I nodded knowing he was right. I got up and he drew me closer to his chest his arms surrounding me and holding me protectively.

I closed my eyes while my head laid on his chest, he smelt of soap but his scent still lingered.

I slowly walked away and towards the bathroom but before I could reach it his hands surrounded my waist and me back growling softly.

I knew since we haven't marked one another yet his wolf couldn't stand to be away from me for to long but tonight especially seemed to be one of those difficult nights.

Sighing, I knew that I wouldn't get the chance to shower tonight so I decided just to do everything I needed tomorrow.

I turned myself in his arms and asked, "Can I at least get changed out of my clothes?".

Reluctantly he agreed and went to sit down on the bed.

I walked into the closet and decided to wear my bunny print pajamas's, I know it's childish but it's the most comfortable set that I've got.

I walked out switching off the light on my way towards Liam, who was now laying awake on his side of the bed.

I climbed into the covers scooting closer to him, he laid his arm lazily on my waist but seeing as I wasn't about to move any closer he pulled me closer to him until our faces were inches apart.

I looked at him smiling softly with my hands on his chest. The hand that was on my waist now moved to my face lightly brushing the few strands that came lose from my pony tail.

I knew then that I was ready for him to mark me, the thought was sudden taking me by surprise. He has been so patient with me, he has been there with me, helping me and guiding me which is honestly all I wanted in a mate and now at this moment I knew that no matter what he would be at my side forever.

My right hand moved slowly towards his neck making him freeze for a second. Making sure I held his gaze with mine I said those two words, "Mark me"

He looked at me trying to find anything that would show that I wasn't ready but finding none his hand brushed my cheek.

"Are you- are you ready for this?", He said making his statement rather seem like a question.

I simply nodded showing my exposed neck.

He leaned in towards my neck kissing it softly before I felt his canines elongate, softly grazing my neck.

In a split second he bit me, pain surged through me but it slowly disappeared, it then was replaced by pure pleasure and warmth. I gripped his shirt tightly to hold him in place. My mind felt open like a window that had been stuck for years had finally began to work.

But all too soon it was over with and he softly licked where he had bitten.

He drew back with a smile on his face mirrored by my own he laid back exposing his own neck for me to do the same.

After I had trailed kisses from his jaw towards his neck and finding his soft spot to I kissed it once more before I allowed my canines to come out and bit him. He visibly flinched from the pain but I noticed his body relax when the pain vanished. After awhile I pulled away licking his mark as he had done mine and laid down looking at him.

There was a comforting silence that surrounded us. He drew me closer until I lay on his chest.

I felt all his emotions and all of his thoughts. It is the same communication Alphas had with their pack members once they've been initiated in. The marking with Liam was different due to the fact that he is my mate the bite is to first signify his claim on me and I on him, it also was for the both of us to communicate, to read each other's thoughts and to track each other no matter what. It also meant that he could now communicate with my pack and I his which I had gained once I had taken my dad's position.

Having this "door" as I call it open I could feel his love for me and I have never felt as safe as to what I have right now.

He kissed my head and through our mind link he said "This is it this is us. Together forever"

I smiled a slowly drifted off to sleep.
