The Mark Of The Beast

11. Hot Blooded POV: Shannon Alexis Chandler

Blindly I ran. It was hard to see by the dark of night. I also had no idea where I was going. I don't really have any idea where I am, other than the middle of some woods, somewhere. I also don't know what I'm running from exactly. I'm stupid enough for some reason that I trust Khyzer, who is dangerous given the whole werewolf thing, but I don't feel that I'm in any real danger from Khyzer. I don't know him well enough to be so trustworthy and stand on ceremony to the fact that he says he's not going hurt me or murder me or anything like that... and you know those psychopath serial killer types...they are so well known for their honesty ya know. I bet they all reassure all their victim's safety at some point before turning them into 1st-degree murder victims. I'm probably as good as dead given the situation and circumstances considered. Yet here I am running like hell from a werewolf but I'm not in fear for my life. I soo... should be, that would be thinking smart but unfortunately...yeah. Im rehearsing for that audition as the leading lady when Hollywood finally reboots Fright Night I guess.

I tan till I couldn't run anymore. Finally, I was completely out-breath. My lungs and the back of my throat and even my sinus cavities seem to be on fire with every breath inhaled or exhaled. My calves were stiff and starting feeling heavier with every stride. My calf muscles are burning as well. I felt my pace slowing till I came to halt. Trying to catch my breath in a squatting position and resting my elbow on my knee while holding my left side with my other hand. My left side was on fire just like everything else. It took me several minutes to slow my breathing and get it back somewhat normal. My lungs and the back of my throat still felt a stinging aching kind of pain as long as I was breathing. Thankfully my left side didn't cramp up. I thought It was there for a second when my side was burning like my calf muscles. I am a little sweaty though. Not too thrilled about it. My heart is still racing away and I hope I put some distance between me and Khyzer. I am surprised he's not already a short in arms reach kind of distance from right this minute. I wouldn't be surprised if I was to find that he beat me here. If he's all super werewolf fast.

"So riddle me this: So Why didn't he catch you? mmhm..."  a very snarky voice of a woman said. It sounded like it was inside my head. It didn't sound like it came from anywhere in my surroundings. What the-

"Isn't the question that you should be asking yourself right now is: So why didn't he catch you? Or is it not the question you should be asking yourself right now?" The female voice snided once more in my head. Why didn't he catch me? I know there is no way he couldn't have. I highly doubt I could possibly outrun him. Then I notice the dead silence around me. I slowly stood upright and listened to nothing but silence. I wondered where he was hiding at. Before my mind could wonder to far. I was easily and I could say gently taken to the ground. It happend so fast. In a split second I was on the ground, flat on my back and pinned. My hands were pinned by his big ass man werewolf sized hands.

He growled but it was soft and I opened my eyes and looked into his bright glowing wolf eyes. Out here in the night the blue glow is so bright and stood out against the shadows from the tall trees, with only slivers of moonlight barely giving light down here unlike it did the treetops.I tightened my legs around him and bucked my hip against his hard-on that he was grinding into me. It was so wet and warm between my legs. My c**t and lips are so sensitive to friction right now, even though we still have clothes on. My p***y muscles constricted inside me without there being anything to grip. My body wanted him inside me. I lifted my head and bit his bottom lip playfully and kissed him hard till we had to pull away for air. He buried his face in my neck and I attacked his ear lobe. Sucking and licking his earlobe he made a sound and a growl and a moan in one I think. I know he sounded like he liked it. He was a little surprised when I without warning very quickly turned my attention from his ear lobe and gave him a love bite on his shoulder. The very low and sexy growl he hummed from the back of his throat turned into a hiss. His eyes and jaw momentarily clamped shut. I felt his hard length twitch a few times. I sucked on his skin where I bit him on his shoulder. Wetness gushed out of me. Khy threw his head back like he wanted to howl. He quickened the pace he ground his hard d**k into me. Making the walls of my p***y clench even though it was empty. "ah, f**k!" he growled then crashed his lips into mine. Kissing me hard and passionate. Dominating my mouth to let his tongue in and I did. Which caused my p***y walls to start throbbing. I grind back against Khy. I can't believe I'm doing this, dry humping him as the pressure starts to build because of all the friction from the hard c**k he was grinding against me hard and fast and I was wet and hot as my p***y throbbed. His eyes are intensely electric and bright blue, there is nothing but lust in them, they just keep drawing me in. He is a sexy beast I give him that. The hard length he is grinding into me fast and hard feels like it's a beastly size. I swear I felt wet stickiness dripping from inside me as the thought ran across my mind followed by the flash of an image of me on my knees in front of sucking his hard c**k and swallowing every drop of c*m till he was drained. oth our hearts are racing so fast and pounding so hard in both our chests. He's growling and moaning. I felt my muscles tense in my thighs and my lower stomach the tension slowly reaching my core. Sparks pumped through me with every beat of my heart. Its rhythm a super fast-paced like it would blow a valve at any moment. Everything slowly tensing up from my head to my feet. I'm moaning loudly. Idk if I was calling to God or calling Khyzer God but that's all I could do. Loudly moan. "Oh God!" at the top of my lungs as sparks and tingling sensations fill my throbbing core.

Khyzer quickened his pace once more and started sucking and nibbling in my ear. "uhm-hmm." He moaned in my ear. "Just.Let.It.Go." His voice was a half-whisper but Breathy abd husky as he spoke in between sucking my ear and licking it. He knows I'm so close. How does he read my mind so damn often? I swear he has to more often than none be reading my kind whimpered. My inhibitions have abandoned me. My body has betrayed me. I could feel the orgasm building faster as Khy was forcing it too with how hard and fast he is grinding against me. Yep inhibitions have flown the coop, I know by the thought I just entertained about telling I just wanted him to f**k me for real. If he makes dry-humping so damn good, I bet having intercourse would probably rock my world so good. the top of my head feels like it's going to explode. Especially if he stops grinding and I starting to feel this need for him to not stop take over me. He is grinding into me so hard and fast. He slides the fabric of my shirt down one shoulder and started kissing and nibbling my collar bone and the nape of my neck. I wrapped my legs around him as tight as possible and I began to quiver It's like there is a fire in my veins. My body is so ready to release the orgasm that is built up before the top of my head explodes. All I can do is moan loudly and involuntarily say "Oh God...Oh, God. Oh, God! Don't Stop!" closed my eyes and bit my bottom lip, and let the sensation rock my body as my hips bucked under him repeatedly. My p***y walls Tightened around nothing. Euphoria washed over me as my orgasm was released.

Khyzer low growls now humming more like a purr. "Good girl," his husky voice laden with arousal scraping what felt like fang gently over the tender skin at the nape of my neck. While still grinding his hard-on against but in a slower rhythm letting me ride out the high of my climax. I didn't have to look at him to see that he was smirking and studying me. I heard the smirk in his voice. His hard-on still hard as it could be, twitched more than once when I released. Now twitching every time I had an aftershock. I don't know if I should be ashamed or what. Laying here on the forest ground in dirt covered with a layer of leaves and acorns and twigs. Fresh forest pine scent would be great right about now. With my needing a shower from being on the dirty ground and doing the dry nasty. If the air was thick with pine maybe it would cover the fact that he just made me c*m all over myself. I wonder if smells like ass even though we didn't have s*x, I still got a tad bit sweaty and breathless from working up an orgasm then busting all over myself I could feel my jeans are soaked in the crotch area. Wow, he made me have an orgasm and we didn't even take our clothes off or stick anything anywhere. I have never got off like that. I have never got off without being in the shower playing with myself for that matter.

I can't believe I just let him do that to me, I can't believe I'm wet and sticky bc of him doing that to me. I hardly know him. I wonder if this is gonna progress to him wanting to do more than the dry hump. He gazed at me with his eyes glowing intensely till finally, I let my eyes meet his. Those damn electric baby blue eyes I could live forever in those wolf eyes.

Sparks reignite surging through me and I get a small aftershock, coming down from the orgasm. My heart pounded in my chest and my breath still panting hard. Khyzer did have a smirk on his face. I felt myself start blushing He easily rolled off of me onto his back next to me chuckling. figured he is chuckling at me and the fact I just let him tackle me followed by dry-humping till I gushed all over myself like I just do stuff like this all-time in public. Then I blush over making eye contact right afterward. I guess I didn't have to. say anything about it. He broke the ice first. Laying in a relaxed position hands folded behind his head. Turning his head to face me. I saw him in the peripheral, trying to avoid looking directly at him. I don't know if I can handle any more eye contact right now.

"Your blushing. I'm a werewolf I can see when it gets dark." he sounded like he was amused. I messed up and looked his way and confirmed he is amused. Also, curiosity has piqued his interest genuinely. "why?" his voice solemn. "Uh. I don't know it's not important." I sat up, shrugging as I did so. Not to be turning my back on him so prudent since that's what his view right now if he was looking at me, I felt my face get hot, and im sure it's red. If he's gonna ask me stuff like this I'd rather not be at eye level. I'm not as confident as Khyzer. I'm not as comfortable with this as Khyzer.

But before I can start nervously fiddling with my hands or twig or pulling leaves and stuff out my hair. All of a sudden big ass man hand unexpectedly grabbed a hand full of my hair making me squeak & jump out of my skin if there weren't a strong grip holding me by my hair, and t could be no one but Khyzer, but that didn't stop me from automatically having flashbacks of James. It didn't stop me from reacting like it was James who had me by the hair of the head again and I promise he isn't so damn nice calm and considerate whether or not he's hurting me or pulling my hair. That's usually his intent when he grabs me by the hair of the head. Knowing it there's no one but Khyzer to grab me and he's not doing it all irate in a fit of rage but still, that didn't stop me from trying to curl up in a ball. It didn't stop me from trying to cover my head and my face with arms as I grabbed at his hand with mine. My eyes are squeezed shut from instinct It's like I was hoping if I close my eyes then maybe the all too real, flashback of one time when James snatched me up and started dragging by the hair across the room, kicking and screaming and pleading and begging, please no. l started to squeal but it was cut short. Khyzer remained calm. He kept his voice level only giving it enough volume to sound firm and get my attention. "Your panicking Spitfire. Calm yourself-" I froze like a statue. Completely still and silent. Not realizing I was holding my breath too. His voice was calm d collect but radiating power, commanding obedience. f he's not mad at me and he's not gonna hurt me, why grab my hair? He growled but it wasn't a threatening sound. I'm not sure if it was even directed at me. He was mildly annoyed by someone. Then say werewolves have telepathic power called a mind link. They can communicate with other pack members at any time, only members of the pack can mind link other members, mates can mind linking each other, and immediate family like parents, children, brothers, and sisters can only mindlink till all kids/siblings ate grown-up. If for some reason somebody leaves the pack, no more mind link. Nobody but fellow pack members can hear the mind link because they hear each other in their heads being said since they dont talk they just think what they want to say and send it through the mind link from brain to brain, or something like that. So maybe he's growling about someone in the mind link. But he wasn't done talking to me. " before you get to screaming like a banshee, piercing eardrums we aren't the only ones out there. Ok. I am not going to hurt you. I gave you my word, you will not be harmed by my hands or any other, human or supernatural. Their patrol and other animals like deer and raccoons and possums and many other kinds of forest-dwelling creatures o without the blood-curdling screaming. Ok. " I didn't move a muscle or make a sound. I did, however, was holding breath exhaled slowly, anininhaleeeplyrying to calm the crash derby my nerves were in. Khyzer didn't let go of my hair but he wasn't pulling my hair or hurting me either. He was being pretty damn easy the way maneuvered my head with his grip on my hair turning my face toward him.He was also sitting up so my head didn't need to be turned to very much for me to be face to face with him. I tried to cut my eyes to my lap, the dark ground, my hands my foot, that tree over there. I tried to look anywhere else without moving my head but so much for that. "Look at me." I lifted my eyes to meet his after taking an exasperated breath. I remained silent and not moving on my own other than breathing.Amusement settles back on his face and he chuckled again. I don't know what came over me now but that's twice in a row with the amused chuckles. Like what is some damn amusing and silly. "What?" It came out sounding demanding like I wanted to f*****g know what was so damn funny. I didn't mean to sound so cross. is curiosity piqued again. "why do you have that look on your face?" wrinkled my brows at him. "look?... the f**k do you mean?"His eyes widen like was surprised. "Before you just now started mugging me your eyes were wide like you're surprised and scared, I can smell your fear but your eyes were wide like you saw a ghost. Why?" He tilted his head a little to the side, boring his eyes into me as he waited for my reply. I don't know why he wants to do this right here and right now. Couldn't he just do more x rated things like he was just doing before? didn't know what expression was settled on my face. I was surprised, and also scared the moment he grabbed me by the hair without warning. He doesn't know that at that moment I guess you can say I had seen a ghost, but only in flashback from my memory that I was instantly tricked by my brain to think I was reliving it or something. I tried to avert my eyes but he growled at me and I resumed back to eye contact, this time my eyes met his, and my explanation spilled without my brain even processing what I was thinking and saying "Because I was surprised and yes scared too, and I know you don't understand that I did see a ghost. Because you grabbed me by the hair so suddenly and I wasn't expecting that nor did I see it coming. I guess, there is a ghost that haunts some of my memories and I saw it when you grabbed my hair and it just came back to me from somewhere in the back Of my mind where the memories I dont want to remember are. I shove them aside and refuse to be bothered but sometimes I dont know what happens or why but sometimes things will happen and memories will resurface like it's happening now instead of somewhere in the past...." I rambled nervously. He accepted that answer must not smell any dishonesty( please don't mind my sarcasm) because I was telling the truth. I quickly thought about it before he could ask and added to my explanation" yes I know you're not hurting me or anything. It's just that the very moment you grabbed me by my hair I instantly flashed back to a previous time I was grabbed by the hair and it wasn't in a docile manner at all. The fear is my mind plays tricks on me sometimes it's scary If you think you're being drug by the hair of the head to a punishment somewhere no one can hear me scream or witness why I screaming...since you're just dying to know." My eyes started to water but I wasn't having it. No tears. No crying. The look on his face mirrored my feelings that I'm not trying to show. I'm sure I might as well have it written on my forehead. He looked genuinely sad. His eyes, his facial expression, his aura everything about him this minute mirrored my torment, pain and sadness were not deep down now, it had been brought up to my tear ducts making me want to cry but I'm not. I've secretly been crying myself to sleep if I sleep for the short time I've been here. Ok, I'll admit it I cry myself to sleep a lot. I cry on a regular I think. It seems that way anyway. I chewed on my lip and focused on not crying while I played with my nails so I could avert eye contact for the moment. Khyzer Studied me and was thinking about what I just said or something. The more I distracted myself and forced thoughts of anything else and forced the tears back, the more all that s**t dulled, the less aware I am of it. Just wanted to shove it all back in the back of my mind and be done dealing with the s**t. Khyzer seemed to be in tune with my feelings or something like that as his aura and expression changed to something I couldn't read for and his jaw looked tightly clenched and his eyes darkened, not like earlier or the times I saw his eyes darkened before. Im thinking those times he must have been aroused after what happened a little bit ago after his eyes darkened Like all the other times before that resulted in him tackling and dry humping the s**t out of me. I think lust has been the mystery gleaming in his eyes I couldn't figure out.this time when his eyes darkened it was different, his jaw clenched enhancing its sharpness like he was grinding his teeth. His chest and throat vibrated with low sinister growls emanating a vicious threat to be very cautious but I didn't feel like I was threatened but I was on eggshells because this big bastard looks like if death stares worked. I'd be dead or whoever he's thinking about. I swallowed hard. I shivered so hard my teeth chattered, so it was obvious, especially to Khyzer that I was picking up vibes sending spine-tingling Chills down my spine. He calmed his vibes and relaxed his jaw. Letting go of my hair. He was apologetic and I said it was fine he didn't do anything to me really, I'm just crazy and overreact. He then asked as nicely as he could "and just who the hell was dragging you by your hair of the head to punish you." His eyes darkened again I looked at the ground dark ground and shook my head just hoping he would drop it. He cleared his throat. "Don't make me tell you to look at me and answer me." with authority in his tone of voice. quickly shott him a look and asked him about dropping the subject I'd rather go back to the packhouse and shower. Ok then, I'll walk you back but only if you will answer my questions and any I any ask you while we walk back." I poked at my bottom lip and pouted. He smirked at me"Fine then. Stay out he all night." he said nonchalantly, quickly rising to his feet. He thinks he is slick... He is slick because I'm not staying out here all night. He starting to get chilly. This is not chilly weather clothing. I jumped to my feet. " you're insufferable you know that. James did it, My boyfriend. You declared not my boyfriend ever again as long as we live. If I'm remembering correctly." I'm aggravated. "and what about you. If I want some answers." I huffed crossing my arms and tapping my foot with both eyebrows raised. He strolled past me with a smirk and wink. "Spitfire, all you gotta do is ask me. Ask and you shall receive the baby." "I'm not your baby. Why do you call me spitfire what does that even mean?" frustrated I threw up my hands then placed them on both hips. e turned around slowly walking backward with a playful look and I think that is half-smile. He held up one finger and rubbed it with the same finger on his other hand and made tsk sounds with his tongue."tsk tsk tsk, uh-uh-huh. We had a deal, and are you gonna stand there all night? are you coming?. He turned around and continued walking "Then get that ass moving!" he yelled over his shoulder. started walking quickly to catch up to his side. It was mostly dark and shadows only slivers and patches of moonlight. The leaves and twigs, some sticks snapped under our feet. He moved some branches out of our way a few times. It was getting chilly. The damp night air making me sniffle. There were lightning bugs and I don't know how many pairs of tiny orbs shimmering when the moonlight would reflect off them, there were a badger and a family of armadillos. He shushed me when he sensed or smelled deer ahead I had to be quiet if I didn't want to scare them off before I got to see them. He agreed to save the heavy conversation for later after we get back and I get cleaned up and all that. He just asked about general stuff he hasn't asked yet and about my life.

We laughed not as much as we talked. He seems genuinely honest so far, I guess. He has no problem giving me his undivided attention. We are also gonna talk about what happened earlier at some point after we get to the packhouse.

I don't have to hide out in his room like I have been doing. I can start meeting more of the pack. Unless I want more unmated werewolves than Khyzer tackling me and doing more than Khyzer done to me. I'll tread carefully and he will tell the pack I'm his pet.

Yeah, hilarious right. If they aren't mated to a human but they like to play it, which sounds like what we humans call dating. Depends on what wolf your asking, and the rumor is that the Alpha already has a human pet and I stay in his wing and all that so go with it. He won't have to worry about the she-wolves being too bitchy hopefully.

It was a nice walk through the woods by moonlight. I've never done anything like this no matter the circumstances. It was fun. We strolled out of the woods behind the packhouse just opposite where I went in earlier. There were some pack members at the pool swimming and goofing off. Khyzer told me to go inside and shower and whatever. He needs to talk to everybody at the pool about this one young werewolf that behaved very soldier-like. Khyzer called him Draven.

Draven had more facial piercings than Khyzer with the one nose ring and one ear he had pierced. I guess the pack army is allowed to have piercings, unlike the U.S soldiers as Draven snake bites and lip rings abd eyebrow rungs and nose ring like a fighting bull.

I was fine with him having pack duty he wasn't around much during the night anyway. This is the first time I've seen him this much after dark. We were parting ways at the patio area by the sliding patio/pool doors. I thanked him for not leaving me in the woods anyway and I told him I would see him later.

    I turned to walk inside and only got one foot in the door and felt myself being spun around so fast "Oh s**t!" I said feeling my balance getting lost. I collided with a rock-solid chest. I grip onto his shoulder and the waist of his jeans to keep from falling. Im clumsy and I didn't predict I was going to be caught instead of busting my ass. He growled like he was aroused by my hand on the waist of his jeans hanging on for life. His eyes are glowing so bright and look so deep like there is more than one layer to Alpha Khyzer. "What the..-"

That wast was all I could say before he took my face in both his hands and lifted it while bending his head down and planted his lips on mine. His tongue went straight t my mouth since I was off guard and mid-sentence when he attacked my lips. He kissed me hungrily like he was going to eat me alive. I forgot about the audience at the pool. Some comments were made and hushed whispers then silence. We both pulled away from the kiss for air after moments went by. He told me he would see me later too.

He went back to the gawking group at the pool. I felt my face flush and just stumbled my way inside and upstairs to take a shower. I stay in for a shower.

      The packhouse was quiet and since I could hear myself think. I occurred to me, what a damn good question occurred "What the hell was all that about out in the woods earlier" pulling leaves and crap from hair as I walked. Then another damn good question dawned on me. "Ugh! f**k a Duck!" I said aloud digging in all my pockets for my iPod. "the f**k is my iPod. I bet it's in the woods. well, s**t fire and save a box of matches." I bitched to myself out loud. Stomping through the hallway to Khyzers bedroom to grab a change of clothes and jump in the shower.
