Inevitable Calling

Wolf-fight

Lexi

I felt a pang of triumph when I saw the look in Theo’s eyes after I had tormented him this morning, he was in agony and was feeling irritated. I skipped to his car and Jordan was sat in the drivers’ seat.

He turned to look at me, “What’s got you so skippy this morning? Wait, don’t tell me. I already know.” He whines as he peels off and I giggle at him.

“So I’m thinking about marking Muffy soon, do you think she’ll let me?” I gasp at his announcement.

“Are you drawn by the moon or by choice?” I asked him.

“I think for her it’s by the moon but for me it’s by choice, I do feel a tug towards her but it’s taking me longer to feel our calling. She was was the one that came up to me Friday night, I caught her gazing at me and my wolf knew that she was being called towards me so I pulled her away to see if I’d feel anything.” He babbled on.

“And did you.”

He nods into the road, “The moment her lips touched mine it caused a spark, it wasn’t deep but the more time I spend with Muffy the more I want her.”

I inhale, “Well all I can say to you is that just take a risk, Muffy is the type of girl to be attracted to men who takes risks and stands their ground; she likes to feel wanted as any other female.”

He smiled at me, “I’ll keep that in mind, thanks.”

We arrived at my college and marched to my dorm room, there was still half an hour until class so I went to go hang with Aria for a bit. We had a gossip session before walking to class, she had gone a different way but Jordan was still by my side.

Muffy was already sat down in her seat and I perched myself next to her, kissing her on the cheek.

“Morning, Sunshine.” She beams at me.

“Morning, B.” I beam back at her.

Professor snaps our attention towards her, “Alright, Class, let’s get today started.”

During lunch period Jordan needed to use the lavatory so I was stood outside waiting for him, I was slouched into the wall and I saw Joel sauntering towards me.

Great.

“Hey.” He says to me, smiling.

“Hi.” I grunt at him.

“I feel like I haven’t seen you in ages.”

I huff at him, “Yeah, that’s because we broke up, remember?”

He clicks his tongue, “Awh, come on, Lex, don’t be like that.”

“I hear you haven’t been spending time with your mate recently.” I blurt out.

He casually rests his arm at the side of my head, “I know, it’s quite sad really.”

I flinch at his coldness towards his wolf relationship with Regina, yes I dislike her and we’ve had our differences but it’s still wrong for him to treat her like that.

“Being with her isn’t how it was when I was with you.” He drips his voice with seduction.

I scoff at him, “If you’re planning on trying to win me back don’t bother, I’m happy with someone else.”

I crossed my arms and he sniffs me, “Yeah, I can smell the Prince all over you; he still hasn’t marked you though.” He spits out.

“You can do better than him, I should have marked you time ago. Not Regina.” He grunts as he strokes my cheek, making me shiver of repulse.

His grin widens and he mistakes this for feeling aroused, he cups my waist and I knee him in the stomach. He howls in pain and lunges for me, I stepped to the side and he landed his punch in Jordan’s face.

Jordan growled and picked him up, slamming him into the wall.

“Leave Lexi alone, she wants nothing to do with you.” He says as his continues to pin Joel to the wall.

I sigh exasperatedly, “Joel, if you keep trying to win me back I’ll never be your friend. You need to accept that I don’t want to be with you anymore.”

He laughs at me, “Is it because of his status, if I became Alpha would you want me again? Because I’d drop Regina in a heartbeat and risk facing consequences for you.” He whined as I huffed at him.

“Joel, you becoming Alpha won’t change anything. My wolf doesn’t approve you like she approves Theo and to be quite honest with you, neither do I. What happened to you?

You used to be sweet and loving and respectful now you’re just a vicious creep. I know that you talk about me to your friends, I want it to stop. If you don’t stop harassing me I will let Theo deal with you and it ain’t going to be pretty, I’ve heard what he can do.”

“Oh, yeah? We’ll see about that.” He yells as Jordan puts him back down on the floor.

He tries to grab me but Jordan holds him at bay, “Let me through! She’s mine! She’s always been mine and always will be!” He screams at Jordan, Jordan just looks rather bored.

“She doesn’t belong to you so let her go.” Jordan shoved Joel away and crosses his arms.

“I haven’t finished with you.” He points at me.

He then shouts, “You can tell Prince Theo that I challenge him for Lexi.” As he turns around to walk away.

Jordan turns to me, “Are you okay, Lexi.”

I dust myself off, “I’m fine, Jordan, thank you for defending me.

He nods at me and smiles, “It’s what I’m here for.”

He looks at his watch, “You have one more class, right?”

I nod, “Yes, come.”

I led him to my final class; I sat down while he stood behind me, folding his arms. An hour had passed by and I was good by going straight home, I was in Theo’s car and Jordan was silent for a while.

He then muttered at the side of me, ”Theo isn’t going to be happy about your encounter with Joel.”

I reached into my soul, I could feel that something was up with my bond with Theo. I felt a pang of pain in my stomach, he was distressed; something was upsetting him. I looked out of the car window and it was pouring it down, thunder was rumbling and I took it as a sign that I needed to get home quickly.

“Well, I feel that somethings already bothering him. I feel pangs of shooting pain in my stomach and my wolf feels uneasy. I don’t feel too easy with the sudden change of weather too, something bad must be going on with him.” I slumped back into the seat.

He sighs, “I guess we’ll find out when we return you to the Manor.”

Ten minutes later we arrived at the Manor, as we pulled through the gate there was a silver Porsche parked at the side of Theo’s motorcycle.

“F*ck.” Jordan exclaims at the side of me.

I turned to him, “What? Who’s car is that?” I whine.

He exhales, “It’s Cordelia’s.”

I growled then got out of the car and slammed it shut, I scurried into the Manor and hunted down Theo’s whereabouts. I found him in the pool room along with everyone else, he was stood by the sofa and Cordelia was stood in front of him.

I watched her flirt with him and wipe her snaky hands all over him, she glances at me and smirks. She then kissed Theo on the mouth, I growled while everyone else gasps with shock. My anger started to boil up and everyone looked at me, Theo turned around and beckoned me to walk over to him.

I accepted his notion and Cordelia starts challenging me, saying that Theo is hers which made me even more angry. I challenged to fight her and she accepted, she thinks I’m weak but I’m not.

Theo is mine!

I had shouted at her.

My wolf wasn’t happy and neither was I, my claws were crawling their way out and I tried to suppress my wolf but I couldn’t control the shift. Everyone was backing away from me and I startled Cordelia a little but after a couple of seconds she became smug again, what happened next came so fast that the world was spinning.

I had torn my clothes off right before my wolf fully comes out, hair was growing out of my skin and I landed on four legs; I let out a feisty growl and everyone howled with horror and Cordelia was still smirking. I could feel power coming off her since she was Lycan but I wasn’t willing to let her claim my man without a fight!

“Like I said, pathetic-tiny-ordinary werewolf.” Cordelia bellows ripping her clothes off and shifting into her beast.

Claws came out and her body was shifting into a hairy beast on two legs, she was beautiful on the outside but I despised her aura. Theo had blocked her from attacking me but I threw him back and growled at him and said that I wasn’t afraid to fight.

I turned back around to face Cordelia and she had lunged for my face, I growled and jumped up and threw her to the ground. She whimpered but flung me off her and I smacked my head against the table.

Pain was shooting inside my brain but I didn’t let it stop me, I went for her ankle and bit it; she howled and ragged my head off with her claws. She tried to squeeze the life out of me but I used my back legs to kick her off me. She then grabbed my neck and lifted me up, I was whimpering and she was snarling with triumph. I tried to break free from her grip but failed.

“Alright, that’s enough!!” Theo roared the place down.

Cordelia had dropped me and we both turned to him, he was in his beasts form. He was crawling his way towards us and Cordelia was cowering backwards, he was reaching for her. I slumped back to scrutinise his face, it was the most fierce face I’ve ever seen; it was just as fierce as it was the night both of our wolves first met only this time it was twice as worse. His aura was so dark that an entire city could shake at his presence, he was beyond furious.

This wolf-fight had been taken to the next level when Theo saw Cordelia beat me, I turned to everyone in their human form and they all looked like they were sh*tt*ng themselves.

Theo had pinned Cordelia to the ground and he was snarling at her, “If you ever challenge Lexi again for me, kiss me or even come back here again, I will rip you apart.” He warned her as his eyes darkened on her and she grunts with fear.

He then lifted himself off her, “Now, for the last time, get the f*ck out of my Manor.”

She snatches her clothes with her claws and runs out of the open door, howling. Theo then turned to me, I was already back in my human form and he covers my naked body with his huge beast. He strokes my face with his claw and shiver with nothing but pleasure, even his wolf form makes me feel aroused.

He then picks me up and turns to Victoria, “Do something about our clothes.” He grunts at her before running to his bedroom.

He lays me down on the bed and continues to stroke my face with his claws.

I cup his wrist with my hand, “You’re so beautiful.” I whisper and he whines a little as his face goes soft.

He nudges his nose into me and I giggle at his touch, he then shifts back to his human form and pants as he covers my naked body with his. He strokes my cheek and rubs it, it appears that Cordelia had left a scratch on my face.

“And you’re still beautiful with that scratch on your face, although, I hope it doesn’t scar.” He then leans closer to kiss my wound.

I instantly felt safe and happy in Theo’s embrace, my heart steadied itself and I slumped further into the bed.

His face then turned into a smirk, “It was hot watching you fight for me.”

He then sighs and lowers his head in distress, “I’m so sorry, Button, you’re still not fully there yet. She’s much stronger than you and she hurt you.” He cries out as he reaches for my cheek again.

I kissed him softly on the lips and I melted into him, zaps of electricity was filling the air as we continued to kiss and he wraps himself around me. Pent up lust in the both of us was reaching to the surface, his boner grew and I started to feel moist and sticky; the kiss became intense and we were grabbing each other everywhere.

“F*ck.” We both moaned at the same time.

He pulls himself off me and opens a window, the air was hot and sticky. He stands rubbing his eyes and running his hand through his ragged-sweaty hair.

“Is Cordelia your ex?” I randomly blurted out.

He looks at me with distraught in his eyes, “Unfortunately, yes.”

He then walks back to the bed, he lays himself next to me and nuzzles his face into my neck.

“You don’t have to worry, and you don’t have to fight for me either; I’m all yours, Baby.” He mumbles into my chest.

A smile tugs on my face, “I’m not worried, I fought her because she needed to know that I wasn’t going to let her touch my man.”

My face then went serious, “It did hurt a little when she beat me but it was worth it.”

He lifts his head up to look at me, after a few minutes he spoke.

“How was college anyway?” He smiled at me.

I sigh, “It was going good until Joel came up to me.”

He growls, “What did he do this time?”

“He’s getting arrogant, he tried to win me back and put his hands on me so I kneed him in the stomach; he went to punch me and I stepped to the side and he ended up punching Jordan instead, Jordan had come out of the boys bathroom and pinned Joel up against the wall. When Jordan let go of him he tried to grab me, screaming ‘She’s mine, she always has been and always will be’ etc. Jordan told him to let me go as I don’t belong to him and I said that I’ll let you deal with him if he doesn’t stop harassing me, he laughed and pretty much said that he challenges you for me and walks off.” I rambled on.

He growls, “There won’t be much of a challenge, I’d squash him in a heartbeat.” He then rolls over and wraps his arm around my body.

“Looks like both of our ex’s are trying to claim us and split us apart.” He teased and I laughed.

“No one could ever split us apart.” He then said seriously.

He kisses my bare body before pulling away again, “Darling, I’m finding it harder to be with you without fulfilling our desires.” He whines.

“Then we won’t kiss or anything, we’ll just keep a distance between us both.”

He snaps, “No! That’s never going to happen, don’t ever suggest that again.”

He sniffs and burrows his face into my neck, I whine and rub his head.

He lifted his head up and looked at me, “I spent over $500,000 on you today.” He blurts out and I gasp with shock.

“Are you being serious? On what?”

He grins at me, “I can’t tell you, it’s a surprise for Valentine’s Day.”

“I followed another lead with Cameron and we went to a guys house, we saw a picture of a snatcher and he told us that they’re widening the kidnappings through other towns too.

It’s not much but it gives us more than what we had; we then went to the mall and I dragged him and Wesley across the entire shopping centre.” He babbles on and grins wider when I continue to stare at him in shock.

After a few minutes of silence, “I’m pleased you did as you’re told today, I’m satisfied that you came home and fought for what is yours.” He murmurs as he plays with my hair.

“I will never let anyone hurt you, and if they ever do I will make them pay, Biscuit.”

I turn to nibble on his face, we wrap ourselves in each other and whine with contentment.

I smirk against his chest, “Are you going to punish me for this morning?”

He flashes his pearls, “Most definitely, naughty little wolf.”

He then massages my head and kisses it tenderly, “But not today, today we are just going to relax, Muffin.”

We laid on the bed wrapped in each other’s naked bodies for a while, it was still raining but it had stopped thundering. It was getting darker and I was loving being in Theo’s arms, listening to nothing but the rain and our heartbeats.

******

I woke up the next day to Theo bringing me breakfast in bed.

“What’s this?” I chirped.

He beams at me, “Just a little treat to reward you for your wolf-fight yesterday, today is your day off college and I’m giving you nothing but tender-loving-care.” I pick up a strawberry and grin into it as he smirks and caress my scratched cheek.

“It’s practically been a week since we’ve known each other now, so much has happened.” I randomly blurted out.

He chuckles, “I know, Snowflake, it’s sure been eventual.”

“Do you think Cordelia will come back.”

He stiffens, “I doubt it after pinned her to the ground, there’s a chance she might be ballsy enough to though. There’s a higher chance she’ll do something to spite us.” He growls.

“She used to always beg me to mark her but it never felt right, a male wolf should never have to be begged to mark another…although…I’m going to make you beg me to mark you when the time comes.” He formed a grin and his voice became devilish as he said the last sentence.

I thought about it for a few moments then, “Valentines is in four weeks, what about then?”

I peek at him and he gasps, “I-if you want me to then… maybe… I will.”

He gulps on a strawberry and I laugh, I then roll over and nibble on his chin.

“Why so nervous, Papi? We are being called, you should mark me right now.” I murmur into his chin.

“You’re the best thing that has ever happened to me, I want to make sure that you’re one-hundred-percent sure you’re ready.” He chokes out.

He then sighs, “I was close to marking you a week ago but I felt your aura and it felt pained and… well, not ready.”

I looked at him seriously, “Feel my aura now, does it still feel that way?”

He looks at me, “No, it feels stronger and aroused and ripe. But personally I’m not ready to I don’t think.”

“Why?” My eyes water a little as I look at him.

He cups my neck, “Because of the way I feel about you, I want it to be a special moment and I want to mark you at the right time. I feel like you still need a little more time too.”

He then kisses me on the lips and gives me one of those breathtaking kisses he gives me, I melt into his lips and let out a satisfied moan.

“Plus, once I mark you males will stop trying to claim you and it’s fun being the higher wolf.” He smirks into my mouth.

I smirk back, “It doesn’t stop humans from hitting on me though.”

He growls and I giggle, “You’re right, I guess I’ll have to put a ring on your finger in that case.” His smile is so wide the room is shining with light.

I clear my throat before smiling, “I wouldn’t refuse that notion.”

He nibbles on my ear, “Good, because I want to show everyone that you’re mine in every way possible.” He whispers.

I relived yesterday, when I had a wolf-fight with Cordelia, I thought about how Theo had shifted into his beasts form and intercepted the fight. My heart sunk knowing that Theo cared enough to step in and protect me, he could see that Cordelia was beating me and he wasn’t going to let her defeat me completely. No one has ever done that for me before, I mean besides my father of course.

I looked over at him, “Thank you.” I said to him.

He looked at me confused, “For what, Button.”

I grinned at him, “For everything, for caring enough to butt in the fight and protecting me from Cordelia. She was close to beating me but it was worth it knowing that I went down with a fight. I wasn’t going to let her claim you without a fight.”

He exhaled, “Even if she had killed you for me I still wouldn’t have gotten back with her, she’s rotten and the most evil female I’ve ever known.”

He then moves closer to me and softly kisses my face, “I’ll never let anyone harm you, I’ll always protect you and stop anyone from defeating you. And even when you fully become a Lycan, even when you still don’t need my protection, I’ll still protect you. Because I-“

He was about to say he loves me I’m sure of it, but he stopped and coughed.

“Because you’re my mate.” He finishes off.

“I’ll protect you too.” I beamed at him.

He chuckles softly, “I can protect the both of us, Sweets.”

I laugh at him and shake my head, “I may not have your strength but I can still protect you, do you even know what I study at college?” I joke with him.

“No, enlighten me, Biscuit.” He grins at me.

“Health Care, I aspire to be a nurse which means that whenever you get into fights and get covered in injuries, I can nurse you back to health.” I winked at him and his eyes darken on me.

“Hmm, I’d definitely wouldn’t mind you dressing up as a nurse, fixing me back to health.” There was lust in his eyes and voice, he continues stare at me as he draws on my chest.

“Yeah, I told Vic and she said that too.” I chuckled.

Things fell silent for a while and we finished eating our breakfast, we were laid playing with each other’s hands and hair and Theo kept glancing at me; he seemed to have been deciding a silent matter.

Eventually he spoke up, “Would you like to help me with the case when you’re not at college?”

I quickly looked at him and gasped, “I would love to!” I exclaimed and he laughs.

“Excellent, you can come on the next trip with me.” He flashes his gorgeous smile at me and I melt into him.

There was a sudden knock on the door, Theo growls and walks towards it.

He opens the door, “What?” He hissed.

It was Vic, “There’s been a formal invitation for the Lightwoods, we’ve been invited to a ball.”

Theo takes the invitation and reads it,

“Dear Prince Theo Lightwood,

This is a formal invitation for you especially,

You have been invited to a royal ball on the 2nd of February at 6pm at the Royal Council Palace,

On this invitation there is a special plus one for your special companion,

This ball is a celebration requested by your father for you and your companion, your father is excited for us all to meet her and we would love to see you both at the ball,

Kind regards,

Councilman Russel Tate.”

My eyes shot wide and Vic sees my expression, she laughs at me and Theo turns around to look at me. He then bursts out laughing and I felt naked, well I was, but I buried myself under the quilt and laughter was roaring in the air.

“This is so not happening.” I mumbled under the quilt.

“It is definitely happening, unfortunately if the Council summons you to a special or important event, sadly you cannot refuse. So get your most elegant dress out and be prepared for the ball!” Victoria squeals as she jumps onto the bed and cuddles me through the quilt.

“Father told the council about us?” I heard Theo snarl.

I peeked from under the quilt and he looked flushed.

Victoria shrugs, “He’s been boasting about you finding your true mate, besides it’s in the air; everyone can feel it.”

Theo groans as he slouches down onto the bed and sighs, he puts his face in his hands and I lifted up to hug him from behind and kiss his back.

Victoria then jumps off the bed, “Well, I’ll leave you two love birds alone.”

“Yeah, you do that. Oh, and by the way, I’ll be having words with you and Owen when I get the chance since I heard you two f*ck last night.” Theo hisses at her and she smiles innocently at him before slamming the door shut after her.

He then grunts, “I can’t believe my father requested a ball to celebrate our calling.”

“Why are you so frustrated, Papi? This is exiting!” I exclaim and he kisses my arm.

“For you it is, but for me I have to deal with all the Lightwoods and Waites bombarding me with questions, not only that but there will be family friends there too and both of us will be receiving envious glares.” He grunts and I laugh at him.

“You’ll be fine, Papi.” I purr into his ear.

He stands up and walks towards his closet, he takes a few moments rooting through the clothes. Eventually he picks out a long-silver-laced-sleeved dress out and hangs it up on the door, he then picks up a pair of thin-strapped-silver heels and put them in front of the dress.

He turns to me, “I want you to wear this for the ball and I’ll be giving you your valentines gift early since it will go perfectly with the dress.” He walks towards me with a stern look on his face.

I smiled at him, “Of course, whatever you want, Papi.”

“I want you to wear whatever I tell you to because my family is going to meet you and I want you to look classy.” He blurts out.

He then raises his hands in defence, “Not that I’m saying you’re not a classy girl, but if you dress sultry then I won’t be able to keep my hands off you and I need to make sure that we stay appropriate.”

I giggle at him and crawl across the bed, I then stand up on the ground and caress his beautiful face.

“It’s okay, Handsome, I wasn’t offended” I stood on my toes and and gave him a short peck.

“You don’t seem as nervous about meeting my family as you was when I read out the invitation.” He mocked and I giggled.

I then went a little shy, “I will be nervous on the day, but I’m also excited to meet more of your family. It also makes me very happy knowing that your father approves me.”

He wraps his arms around me and nestles his face against mine, “He would have done this regardless if he approved you or not, my family values respect and honour.” He whispers into my face.

He then peels himself away from me and looks down at me with a smile on his face.

“Want to start working on the case with me then, Muffin?” He asked me, pulling me to the closet.
