Marked Mate, Happy Mate
1060 Words
Rose
He is so happy. Like nothing happened and we are a happy normal couple.
He takes me to the garage and we get into his care and dive of. To where I don’t know. But the scenery is amazing. The forest smells fresh, after a rain. A rain that cleaned the forest. And the wet leaves shine like jewellery in the sun. It is still early in the morning so it’s not yet warm.
We arrive at some gates; a lot of men guard it. I wonder where we are and who lives here that they need so much security.
My questions, quickly get answered when I see Blanca running towards me. And a man, I assume to be her mate is watching from the front door of the house.
„You ….” She screams at me. And hugs me so tight that I feel I have no air in my lungs. My eyes start to water. I am so happy for her. That she found her mare. Her forever-after.
„Hey baby girl. I missed you so much.”
„Yeah, you know how it is. With your mate being alpha, they don’t let you …” but she stopped talking when her eyes set on my neck.
On instinct my hand for the spot she was looking at. And she turned to face Matteo.
„You haven’t marked her? Why? What happened?”
He just looked away and started walking towards Marco, Blanca’s mate.
„What happened? Are you ok?” she looks at me with worried eyes.
„I am ok. Can we go somewhere to talk? Just us two? Please?” my eyes started to water again. I thought I had myself in check. Seems I have feelings. Funny though. Because many said I was a robot for keeping my emotions private and not talking much about me. But here I go spilling everything I have.
„Sure. Let me tell Marco where we’re going.”
-----------------------------------------------------------
„I blacked-out again.”
„Is that why he won’t mark you?”
„No, at least I don’t think that is the reason why.”
She hugged me. We were sitting in a gazebo, hidden in a garden filled with fruit trees and wild flowers.
„I have been reading. About you. I mean not only about you, but about shifters.”
„And …”
„And … I love shifters? Well, mostly you!”
„Such a sweet talker. But really. Have you at least talked to his wolf? Maybe find out what he thinks about you?”
„Yes. I have talked to Daemon, his wolf. He adores me, at least that is what he said. But he is missing for days now and I don’t know what to do.”
„This is not good. The main reason a wolf hides is because they don’t agree with something that the human part wants to do.”
Matteo
I didn’t want to answer her question. Because I haven’t decided.
I want Rose. My wolf needs her to stay calm and sane. But I also think that she is weak. I mean those black-outs are not natural. Who in their right mind goes day to day and finds that blacking-out sometimes is ok?
Humans are weak. The Moon-Goddess must want to put me to the test. Daemon adores her and wants her even if she is broken. What does he know? He is just a wolf spirit.
„Hey Marco? How is mated life?”
„You should know. And from the looks of it, you still haven’t marked her. Are you going to?”
„I’m not sure.”
„What do you mean you are not sure? Your wolf will go crazy if you don’t mate with her. You do remember what they taught us in school?”
„Yes … yes, no need to remind me.”
Good thing is that Marco started talking about other subjects because I was starting to get annoyed.
Like the fact that a dorme has sent a lone-wolf to send me a message. And that he allowed that she-wolf to cross his land in order to get to me.
„About that she-wolf. The messenger sent by the dorme.”
„What about her?”
„Did you know anything?”
„Of course not. She was just a lone-wolf. Sane enough to use a phone and ask for permission. And seeing no reason as to why I should not. I allowed her to pass my lands. I did not know she was heading your way.”
„I believe you. All of this is making me so …”
„I know the feeling. Having a mate is harder than I thought. Seeing my parents and yours so happy, they made it look so easy. But now, I see the reality. It is hard work having a new mate, starting life together. I finally got used to the idea of being alone, and bang I find my mate. Don’t get me wrong I adore her but she is hard to get used to.”
„She does have a strong personality and a strong wolf. Congratulations man, I am happy for both of you!”
------------------------------
Thinking about it after my conversation with Marco I came up with two choices.
Rose is here on a summer stay. She will go back to school.
I could mate with her and when she leaves for school, I tell her to keep in touch and I search for a chosen mate. Or, the second choice is that I leave her be, she leaves and I look for a chosen mate.
If I go with option one, my wolf stays sane because from his perspective we have completed the mating. But from the second perspective I might lose my wolf. So, I think the best choice here is to have a great summer with her and after that we both go on our separate ways.
What other choice do I have? I am not putting my pack at risk. That is my final decision.
