Blood Moon

Chapter 15: Dangerous Games

The next morning I felt a heavy arm draped around my waist and a warm breath fanning my neck. Moving slightly to get comfortable I felt a twinge on pain shoot up from my neck, the left side to be exact.

And that's when everything that happened last night came back to me. My hand brushed my mark which was still tender but was healing rather quickly. I felt tingles that went down my spine.

You see werewolves or shifters heal rather quickly but when it comes to marks it takes around a day for it to completely heal. And the reason for it being placed on the left hand side is because as cheesy as it sounds it's near the heart therefore bonding the two mates together.

I smile thinking of everything that happened I couldn't have asked for it to have gone any better than that.

While I was thinking, I hadn't noticed that Liam was awake softly kissing my mark. I turned to see him. He too had a smile on his face grinning with shear joy of it all, but the most part I felt his love.

Kissing my forehead lightly he whispered, "Morning beautiful", making my heart flutter.

I smiled blushing looking in his eyes gently brushing my hand across his cheek, "Morning there handsome" I giggled.

I stretched and wove my way out of his grasp walking towards the bathroom hearing him groan and chuckle in both amusement and frustration.

I rolled my eyes and closed the door. I looked towards my mirror and I saw a small patch of flood where my mark was, causing me to frown. My favorite PJ's now had a mark on it, I only hoped for it to come out in the wash. Growling softly I took it off and walked into the shower using my vanilla scented body wash to clean the mark tenderly. After washing myself and my hair I smelt like I had dipped myself in vanilla causing me to chuckle Liam was going to love this. He loved the smell of vanilla and he loved it even more when the smell was from me.

Wrapping my a towel around not my body and my hair I realized I hadn't brought any cloths with me. Growling in frustration I stomped off towards my closet relieved to see that Liam was already out the bedroom.

Considering it was now weekend I decided to put on my blue high waist Jean shorts with my white crop top with a pair of black sandals.

Brushing my hair out and not bothering with any make-up I walked down stairs.

Smelling bacon and eggs coming from the kitchen I walked dreamily towards the counter.

Jarred was obviously still asleep so when I sat on one of the bar stools Liam started finishing up with the last of the food and dished a plate for three placing the third in the microwave for Jarred. Walking towards me with a glass of orange juice and my plate of food kissing me on the cheek and in a French accent he said, "Breakfast is served".

Laughing I slowly started to eat. Liam sitting next to me was sending me electric waves through my body making me feel alive and alert.

When we had finished I gathered our plates and began to clean the dishes. Still sitting down Liam stared at me with a loving smile on his face. Looking up I asked, "What? He just shook his head but carried on staring.

Sighing I went back to my job at hand. Still feeling his stare I mind linked him.

"You do know it's rude to stare", I said still cleaning up.

He responded almost smugly, "It's not rude when your looking at art" this he said aloud.

His statement confused me and before I could ask what he meant I felt his arms wrap around my waist, "You are the most beautiful piece of art I have ever laid my eyes on,you are the mere example of a masterpiece and I get to call you mine."

I couldn't help the blush that stained my cheeks but when I finished cleaning up I turned myself in his arms facing him.

"And you are the best mate a girl could ask for everything about you would make any girl swoon and I know I could never in a million years deserve you buy the fact that you are here with me and you are mine and I am yours this is honestly all I could ask for."

Finishing my speech off still blushing I nuzzled my head near his neck making sure to avoid his mark knowing his too was still tender.

Walking towards my dad's office together once I had grabbed the paperwork from my bedroom. We say most of the morning together sifting through treaty's and pack documents.

We only stopped when Jarred walked in to wish us good morning and to say that he was going to head home to check in on Ash.

When it was near twelve thirty we decided we have done enough work for today and we played 20 questions and talked for the rest of the afternoon.

Near five Liam came back for Liam and himself to go for the guys night. I had completely forgotten and I was reluctant at first but I knew it was for Jarred and I let it go. Before leaving I made sure to warn Jarred through mind link which he seemed not at all shocked to know about and I told him t please watch over Liam and I said the same to Liam himself.

Kissing me softly, they went off leaving me alone for the night. Closing the door and locking it I walked towards the kitchen trying to find what I was going to make for myself for dinner I heard a crash from outside walking out I noticed my bin Haas fallen over thinking it must have been one of the animals I went to pick it back up again.

Walking back inside and locking the door again. I went to carry on making my meal which was just going to be an omelette, more of a breakfast than a dinner I know but honestly i couldn't really care I was hungry and I wasn't in the mood for anything extravagant.

Finishing up my meal I took it to the living room eating while watching a episode of Riverdale.

Seeing that it had now been almost an hour since Liam had left I got up switching the TV off and cleaned up.

Walking back to my dad's office I set to work on a few files and I caught up with most of my homework.

I wasn't sure how long I had been working but all of a sudden I heard the TV blaring downstairs. Getting up I walked downstairs towards the living room I saw that the TV was still on. Confused I switched it off thinking it may have been a timer or something for i was sure that I had switched it off earlier I walked back upstairs.

Looking at the time in the clock upstairs I saw it was an hour or so before Liam and Jarred would be coming home.

Yawning slightly I decided to go to bed walking into my bedroom I got dressed in one of my silk on dresses braiding my hair and walked into the bathroom to brush my teeth.

Once I was done i walked towards the bed grabbing my pillow so I could get my bed sheet from under it I saw a small piece of paper.

Frowning I opened it up and on it read;

My dearest Clare

How reckless you have been allowing yourself to be marked by anyone other than me. Not to worry though we can look past this mistake of yours.

The games have only began my love

L

Throwing the paper away from me and looking around my bedroom for anyone in it.

I rand around the house switching on all the lights looking for any sign that someone else had been inside, only coming up short finding nothing.

Scared I mind linked Liam urging him to lease come home while the words kept repeating in my head...

The games have only begun.
