The Chance of a Lifetime

Mate

Chapter V - Mate

Nightstar Pack

21:23

“It’s been a long day,” Szari whispers in my ear, while wrapping his armsaround my waist from the back. I cuddle onto him, my head on his neck, as weslowly dance without music. I hum one of my favorite songs by Nickelback. It feels so amazing just tobe in the presence with your mate. I felt a bit empty earlier as Maura draggedme to meet some of the pack members. They are really great; and gladly Ihaven’t found anyone who tried to insult me.

“Yeah, and I’vemissed you badly…” I say, tightening my grip on Szari’s hand. It’s like I neverwant to let him go. I’m so addicted to his touch that I yearn for it every timeI’m away from his reach.

“The full moon iscoming,” he says sadly, the both of us still slow dancing without any care thatthere is no music present. Just the sound of the wind and the birds chirping…it’s already perfect. I look at the night sky, as we are in the balcony,enjoying the moonlight bathing us.

“You know what Ihate about being a werewolf?” I ask him, the tone of my voice coated with thesame sadness he just showed me as he told me that the full is coming.

He nuzzles on myneck and breaths slowly. “Shifting… we all hate shifting… but maybe those whoare bloodlust love the fact that the full moon is coming. The only thing I loveabout being a werewolf is that… we can have a family even without blood relation;and I get to sense my mate, and livewith her forever, until it ends.”

I feel myself blushat choice of his words indicating of us being mates. I smile at myself, butthen I frown. The both of us have the same thoughts. The only thing I reallylove about being a werewolf is that we can have families that aren’t bloodrelated to us, specifically… the pack;and so with the soul-mate prophecy. I mean, even humans have soul mates… butfor the creatures of the night, we have a much more heightened sense.

The disadvantage ofbeing a werewolf is the shifting, andthe accidental murders. If you’re notin control of your wolf, then you can possibly lash out and kill innocentlives. Sure, your wolf and you are friendly towards each other, but we neverknow until it overtakes us. I may be dominant towards my wolf, but Raven cantake over me any time when the full moon strikes. Being a werewolf is a curse. But we have to embrace it… sinceit is the gift of the mother. Take what you receive, never complain, never whine,just be thankful of the blessing that has come to you.

“What’re we goingto do?” I ask him silently, pulling away from his embrace, facing him directly.He holds my hand and smiles in assurance, “We’re going to be fine, Scarlet. Youdon’t need to worry.”

He sighs and thendrags me to the bedroom, he makes me sit down, so I did. “Is everything okay?”I ask him worriedly.

He nods and smilesweakly. He kneels in front of me and then says, “I haven’t been completelyhonest with you, Scarlet. But I do know that Loupe has been telling you aboutme. He tends to do that.” He chuckles and then continues. “The reason why wewere attacked was because of our pack’s pups- well not all of them, but thereare three who are very special.” He confess.

“Loupe has told meabout the attack, but he never told me about what makes the pups so special.”

“A month before theattack, the Alpha King and the Queen stumbled into our pack,” he said slowly.My eyes widen at what he just said… the AlphaKing and Queen? Thinking about it… they’ve passed away, and no one reallyknows why. They just announced that they have died, and that the Royal familyhas vanished.

“They were friends with myparents… and as you know the King and the Queen have died.” I nod, so hecontinues. “They came here injured, and on the brink of death. They bothprotected their triplets- the last of the Royal family. That’s not at all,Scarlet. The triples aren’t just anyone…”

I nod inunderstanding and continue his sentence. “They are the one to complete theprophecy.” The Prophecy, there isanother prophecy of the werewolves; and only a few knows about it… mostly thosewho are in higher ranks, or those who are close to the Alpha.

The first prophecyis the mating prophecy. And the second is the most crucial among werewolves wholoved being who they are; and some of them said the second prophecy does notexist.

The second prophecyis of the breaking of the curse; itis said that there will be a day that three children will be born in a blue moon, in a clearing where blue roses are growing. They will be theone to end the curse. When the threechildren are of age, they are to complete the ritual, no matter if they like itor not. They are to remove the curse, or the rest of the werewolves will die,but the werewolves won’t die if they kill the three children first.

“What your alphamust have said to you, was not the entire truth, Scarlet.” I frown at hiswords, and then ask him what the entiretruths is. He then takes a deep breath and sits beside me. “If any of us killthe three children, we all will live, but with a huge consequence to thataction. The one who will kill the chosen’swill not live happily, but emptily; and the rest of our kinds will be payingfor the price by suffering in guilt. It may not seem heavy, but trust me when Isay that is the worst punishment to live in guilt, and sorrow.”

“We can finally befree of this curse?”

“That’s why theNightstar pack has sworn to protect the three children no matter what. They arespecial not just because of that… but they are the future of the world. Theywill restore peace, and there will be no more bloodshed.”

“But does this meanour wolves will vanish?”

He chuckles, andshakes his head. “No, our wolves will not vanish. They will stay inside of ourhearts; but we no longer have to suffer the shifting and the bloodlust everyfull moon. The curse will be lifted, and we will be free from the viciousdemons inside of our wolves.”

Because of what hejust said, my happiness surfaced, and so I kissed him with all that I’ve got.The news was amazing; it was the best I have heard so far.

“But, Szari… whatwill happen when the curse is lifted? Will the soul-mate prophecy vanish too?”I ask worried, sitting on his lap.

“No, love… it willforever stay,” he whispers, and then closes the distance between us. He softlykisses my lips and then he trails down to my neck. I moan in pleasure and smileat his sweet gestures.

“Szari,” I say. Hethen looks at me questioningly. “Let’s mate,” I suggest breathlessly. I wanthim to, I know that I’m ready… and I just want to be completely one with him. Iwant to feel the powerful feeling of being one with your mate, and the feelingwhere he can see my mind, and hear what I think. I want to be his forever, andthere’s nothing I would change.

Raphael is out ofthe question. I may have loved him at some point, but he crushed my heart byrejecting me. There was no other reason for him to reject me rather than himnot loving me. Meanwhile, Szari is different. He treasures me, and doesn’t giveme false hope. He loves me purely, and rationally. He’s obviously the one.

“Are you sure? Itold you to think about this… we don’t have to rush, Scarlet. I res-” I cut himoff by pressing my lips onto his.

“I am one hundredpercent sure about this, Szari. I’ve never been this sure in my life. I justwant you right now. I need you. I love you, I really do. I am not having secondthoughts, and I want you to know that Raphael will not stand between us. Ever.”

He didn’t have tosay anything else, and I can tell he appreciated what I just said. He pin medown on the bed and began to ravish me lovingly. Every touch, every kiss, everybreath, and every word of love made me want him more.

I am definitelycrazy for Szari, and nothing can ever change that.

The way he touchesme, send shiver down my spine; and the way he trails kisses, makes my hearttingle every time. My stomach erupts with butterflies as he looks at me withhis liquid eyes.

He has such amazing, beautiful, gorgeous,alluring eyes.

“I love you,” Isay, panting. His kisses were breathtaking, and everything just feels soperfect.

“I love you more,Scarlet.”

He begins to takeoff his clothing as he did with mine, while still stealing kisses. We bothlaugh as we wrestle on the bed, wanting to be dominant. But for him, I’ll besubmissive… just because I want to be marked already.

We look into eachother’s eyes some more, and then he starts to close the distance and so hislips crash on mine. His sweet lips trails down to my neck on the side, and thenhe touches my nape softly, causing a moan escape from my parted lips.

I can feel histongue licking where he was going to bite me, and I hiss at my impatience. Heholds me tightly and then I feel his canines on my skin. It feels cold, yetwarm.

And before I knowit, his canines buries deep inside of my neck, marking me with all his lovepouring out in that single bite. I can feel the pleasure, and the adrenalinefrom the action. I feel hotter than ever, and so he lets me go, licking theblood that has trickled down on my shoulder; and we complete the mating.

With every move ofhis body, it screamed out passionate and graceful. He held me so protectivelyand lovingly, that always makes my body shiver in so much anticipation to touchhim more… to explore his body more.

“Szari, I love you…I love you so, so, much.” The words came out as silent as the night, but heheard it quite clearly.

He continues tomake love to me as I writhe in pleasure; moaning and giving in to hisdominance. I can tell by the way he makes love to me that he cherishes me likeno other… that he loves me to the deepest of his heart.

And then a certainthought came across my mind, which pissed me off.

It’s actually achoice…

And Raphael chosethe latter to make me feel the most excruciating pain I have felt… yet.

The choice towhether not show you’re original mate on what you’re doing in mating, or not;and as cruel as he really is… he really chose the latter.

But I didn’t do it.I didn’t want to make him feel the pain he made me feel. I am not as childishas that man I called the love of my life once. I am not vicious enough to laughat his pain. I am not evil to wish of his death, but I am cruel enough to showhim a little glimpse on what I’m doing; and so I did. I show him how much I amin love with Szari, and that he is what I have been looking for and not him. Ishow him that Szari is who I want to spend the rest of my life with and nothim. I want to showing that he has lost,and will never win against me… ever again.

But this isn’t agame… though, if it was. I’d win over him anytime.

My thoughts vanishabout Raphael, and I am finally focused again towards Szari. He looks at me thesame way. Lovingly.

I feel a teartrickling down my eyes, and I know for a fact that it is not regret, buthappiness. I have actually never felt so much joy in my life. I feel likescreaming to the world.

Szari Vilkas makesme happy.

He makes me who Iam. He makes me complete.

I then wrap my armsaround his neck and pull him closer to me as we reach our climax. I cry inhappiness, and make him stay close to me. Having Szari Vilkas as my second mateis definitely the chance of a lifetime… and nothing can make me anymore happierthan his soul intertwined with mine.
