Inevitable Calling

Man talk

Theo

When Lexi had left the room, it suddenly felt dull and cold.

This girl is driving me to insanity.

I relive the night she crashed into me:

Derek, a Lycan my sister was seeing, had fully disrespected her and the entire family name. He was good to Victoria in the beginning of their relationship, he was attracted to her kindness and beauty. He treated her like the Princess she is, but then over time he began to take her for granted.

He’d flirt with other females in front of her, whether they were human or wolves, he’d flirt with them. This had started to really piss me off, so I did something about it. I had told Derek to either stop wasting my sister’s precious time or, start respecting her again.

He just laughed at me as if I was a joke and I had punched him in the face, Victoria yelled at me and told me to let her fight her own battles. So I did as she requested. But then things started to get worse, not only was he flirting with other girls but he had actually started putting his hands on them.

With fumes raging out of my ears, I held my beast back. Which isn’t easy at all, when I’m raging my beasts forces himself out. So Victoria got fed up of being treated like a side h*e, she had told Derek to either show her respect or f*ck off basically.

She broke up with him and he demanded that she didn’t do such thing; he had no choice but to obey since even though they were both Lycans, she was royalty and he was not. Eventually after some time, Derek started to beg Victoria for forgiveness and for her to take him back. He acted like he had grown up just so that she would give in to him but matter of fact was, he hadn’t at all.

She got back with him which displeased everyone in the family, but at the end of the day we had to respect her choices. She gave him one last chance; she told him that if he ever disrespected her again, she’d let me rip his head off and feed his body parts to actual wolves. And I could not wait for that day to come.

So for a while he was on his best behaviour, he was scared of me, you see. I tend to have that affect on people. Derek caused a lot of drama for our family, he made empty promises that he couldn’t keep. He lied to Victoria multiple of times and cheated on her multiple of times.

So coming back to the reason why I was in the woods the night I found Lexi. Derek was the reason. He was planning on marking Victoria, he hadn’t marked her yet and decided that if he marked her, maybe he wouldn’t be doing all the snaky sh*t he had been doing over the past three years.

Oh, yeah… three years…Victoria had an on and off complicated relationship with Derek for three years. And the rest of us had to put up with it. So that’s one of the reasons why I did what I had to do. It took him three years to man up and decide to mark my sister after all the messing about he did.

This is where the real sh*t comes in.

Five days ago, my younger cousin, Madzie - Cane’s younger sister, comes up to me with a traumatic look on her face.

‘Theo, can I tell you something? Something that is going to make you very angry’, she said to me, her eyes were glum.

‘Of course, little Cuz, you know you can tell me anything’, I assured her, giving her a sincere smile.

‘Promise me you won’t lose your temper until I’m not around. You scare me’, she muttered with embarrassment on her face. I had laughed at her because she was cute in that moment.

‘Whatever you tell me, I promise I will contain it until you’re not around’, I had promised her, she then inhaled very deeply before telling me the horror she had been through.

‘The day Queen Dianna Lightwood had died and we had a funeral on the exact day, I nipped to the bathroom by myself. I caught Derek trying to hit on Queen Tiana and she had pushed him off before giving him a violent whack in the face; screamed at him for being a disgrace to the family before storming off. He then caught me staring and walked towards me’, she had stopped talking as she started to cry. I had embraced her and softly urged her to continue. But before I continue with my memory lane, Queen Dianna Lightwood was my mother’s mother and Queen Tiana is my mother.

So anyway, Madzie spent a few moments before continuing her traumatic story.

‘When Derek had reached in front of me, he covered my mouth and dragged me into a deserted room where no one could hear us or see us. He screamed at me, I swear to God, if you tell anyone what you had seen, I will make you regret opening your mouth, I cried and pleaded that I wouldn’t say anything. He made sure of it’, she then stopped again and cried even harder, I inhaled a deep breath and had asked her calmly to tell me what he did to her. She hesitated at first and I told her,

‘Madz, I swear to you on my mother’s life, I will make sure that no one will hurt you. Derek is scared of me and he knows what I will do if he does anything to harm you or anyone I care about’.

It was then that I knew he had done something to hurt her as she had became hysterical, I’ve honestly never seen anyone so hysterical in my life as Madzie was. Rage started to build up and she could feel my aura as she had bared her neck at me and her heartbeat had quickened. Without trying to scare her, I tried to calm myself down before asking her to finish her story. She took a few more moments before obliging to me.

‘Because I’m so little, I’m not as strong as Derek is. I tried to fight him but I couldn’t. I tried to scream for help but he covered my mouth again. I had no choice but to let him r*** me’, her voice had choked out the word r*** and by this point her eyes went fully dark as she could tell what I was about to do.

With immense rage inside of me, my beast had let me make a scene before fully escaping my human body. I had stomped across the building, knocking everything over, even people; I didn’t seem fit to care as I was seeing red at the time.

When King Kai Lightwood, my father, demanded to know what came of such ‘atrocious behaviour’ I had roared the place down and screamed at Derek as he cowered to the ground.

‘Yes, cower to the ground, you monstrous mutt!’, I had spat at him.

People were frightened for their lives, frightened at what Derek could possibly have done to make me so furious. Everyone that knows me, knows that I don’t lose my temper for no reason; that’s why they had let me continue my ramp page.

‘Theo, calm down. This is uncalled for’, my father had yelled at me.

My mother had put her hand on his arm and had told him to let me continue. He had looked at her in astonishment and she had raised her brows at him as if to say, trust me. So in a huff, he shut up.

‘First you hit on my mother and then you r*** my little cousin just so that she couldn’t tell a single soul what she had seen?!’

I had screamed as everyone in the room gasped at what I had revealed. Madzie was now in the corner next to Cane, looking timid. Derek had looked at her before snarling,

‘You f*****g little rat!’, which I think rather made it evident that it was true.

At this point no one could save him, Victoria looked horrified amongst everyone else in the room and I could feel her beckoning me to look at her so I did. Her face told me to rip him apart. And so I grabbed Derek up as if he was a light rag doll to me and had carried him out into the woods before slamming him onto the ground.

‘Come on then, let your wolf out. I want to see you try and fight for your life!’, I had roared at him, letting Ripper come out to play.

‘Please, you don’t have to do this!’, he had cried out to me but it was too late, my inner beast was already out.

I had roared at him to let his beast out one more time, so he did. I had allowed him to give me a few good blows before I had l ripped him to shreds. I didn’t feel guilty at all, knowing what he had done to my younger cousin… my actions was out of my control.

Derek had managed to put a few scratches on me and I had felt mild pain but I could live with it knowing I had served justice for his crime. I didn’t let anyone give him the chance to execute him, I had done it with my own bare hands.

And that, was the moment I saw Lexi. Or Dollie should I say. And in that moment, when I looked straight into the girl’s wolf’s eyes, my entire life shifted.

As my attention came back to reality, I was looking at another empty glass. Cane had come and sat down next to me; he looks at me with a raised brow as I poured myself another drink.

“I know what you’re thinking.” I grunt as I pinch my nose before taking a swig of my drink.

“Not going to lie, but that was some heat penetrating off you and Lexi.” He answers back, smiling devilishly.

“I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to cope, she’s already making me nuts.” I admit as I slam the glass onto the counter. He laughs at me as he turns around on the stool to pour himself a drink.

“Wanna talk about it? I told the boys to block us out.” He asks me, taking a swig of his drink. I thought about it for a few minutes, there is so much I want to let out.

“I had an interesting conversation with Victoria as you had your little hot make out session with your new lady.” He announces with arrogance in his voice.

“Go on then, enlighten me.” I urge him, turning to face him with a straight face.

“Well, first of all Victoria told me to speak to you about something she had offered Stefan Button, Lexi’s father. She had a feeling you was going to ask her to take Lexi away.” He stops speaking, waiting for me to urge him to continue.

“Go on…”

“Stefan was being the father any decent one should be, he was concerned for his daughter’s safety. He didn’t like the fact a powerful Lycan was claiming his daughter and that he had no say in it whatsoever. Tori assured him that she was safe with you but tried to be kind by offering to suggest you to introduce yourself to him.” His look becomes more serious as he stops speaking again.

“Why do I feel that there’s more to what you’re saying?” I ask with dry humour in a dark tone.

“Tori said that Lexi had gotten sassy in your absence, she spoke of you in a formal manner but dripped her voice with sarcasm as she urged to return back here.”

He was smiling at the fact the girl I’m becoming insanely crazy about is starting to become a naughty little devil. Which is irritating me and he knows this.

“Yeah, I’m starting to see that Lexi is starting to feel confident enough to be provocative.” I observe, sighing into my glass.

“From what Tori explained to me, it seems that she paid attention to her. She says that it’s obvious Lexi doesn’t think highly of herself and that things need to be broken into slowly with her. She says that even though Lexi is quieter than most, she has a hidden devil inside her. She reckons that Lexi wants to let her inner self out but she also doesn’t want to make a fool of herself or aggravate anyone. We both agreed that things are going to be crazy for you both but it will be worth it in the end. So what I’m trying to say to you is that, even though Lexi is clearly driving you mad; she’s worth it.” He babbles on while giving me a suggestive look, a look as if to say don’t let her go no matter what.

“You’re right, that is an interesting conversation.” I reply slightly sarcastically.

“I know exactly what you’re trying to say to me, and I’ll tell you my exact thoughts.

When Lexi crashed into me the night I made Derek into meat, my eyes landed directly into hers instantly. I felt a tug pulling me towards her and I wanted to see what kind of girl she was; My aura demanded her to submit to me and was turned on by the fact she was daring enough to defy me. But as my power gained on her, she had no choice but to submit and she did. I ended up letting out a grunt that must have annoyed her because she stood back up, growled me then ran off. With how I was already feeling that night and knowing full well a rare thing had stumbled upon me disappeared, I had let out a very angry howl. The rest you know; I came home screaming at the top of my lungs, demanding that everyone found her. Four days later, Cameron begs me to come to the wolf gathering. At first I didn’t want to, but then my mind went onto Lexi. I thought,

what if the naughty little wolf attends and I don’t know about it?

And by fate, out of nowhere: a very bright, blonde-haired, short and curvy figure in a: short, red sparkly dress with knee high, red leather boots on, stands right in front of me. It was the first time I had seen Lexi in human form, but I knew it was her. I knew it because she had Dollies’ scent, Dollie’s her wolf.” I answer to Cane’s raising brow in question.

“I knew from her scent, my beasts’ eyes was coming through my own like he wanted to jump out of my skin and sink his canines deep into her skin. It took a lot of strength but I had managed to suppress him. So I knew that she was that wolf that got away from this and, because I had found her mobile phone and had took it; her phone lit up and the screensaver was of her and her best friend, I had assumed.” I pause to take a swig of my drink before continuing my speech.

“I didn’t walk up to her right away, I stood back and watched her for a short time. When Lexi and her friend had arrived, Cameron had made a joke at them taking their time and Muffy had stated that Lexi was having a self-conscious moment. Cam had flashed his attractive smile at her as he complimented her, saying she looked gorgeous. And she did, she doesn’t even see how f******g ravishing she is. Anyway, my aura focused on him and I had warned him that my eyes were set on her and for him to stop flirting with her; he had looked at me as if he heeded my warning and had looked back to Lexi and Muffy to say that he was going to assist other wolves’ company before walking away. Some time later, Muffy had disappeared with a wolf leaving Lexi on her own. Until a male wolf wandered up to her, my aura had changed. I felt a pang of jealousy, my attention was focused on the both of them as it wasn’t just jealousy that I was feeling, it was assertiveness of Joel’s aura.” I spat at his name with distaste.

“He had tried to act good but to me, his aura was dripped with venom and full of bad intentions. He started to chastise Lexi for the way she dresses, he was looking at her as if she was a piece of meat that he wanted to demolish! By this point I was starting to become furious at his hostility towards her. I could feel that Joel was starting to dampen her mood so I decided to walk towards them. I reached by their side but I stood a good amount of distance behind Lexi, ready to protect her from harm. His eyes had widened on her as he started to feel riled up at the fact she wasn’t letting him have her, it was evident that they had been in a relationship but it was now over. She had refused his declaration and had tried to dismiss the fact that he was acting like a very jealous and controlling ex as he started to walk closer to her; she then had backed away from him as a instant reaction only to back into my front. A growl had escaped my throat as I had stared into Joel’s repulsive eyes; my eyes managed to snap away from his to look into Lexi’s eyes which I could feel mine were darkening by the sight of her. She was staring right at me with shock on her face, her heartbeat had began to steady itself and as if in unison with me, she started to feel more relaxed as we continued to stare into each other eyes.” I pause as I let out heavy air before continuing my speech again.

“She had the most beautiful icy-blue eyes I had ever seen, they were so beautiful I felt so smitten with her instantly. Lexi’s eyes had flashed even brighter as her inner wolf’s eyes were looking through Lexi’s; I knew that the moon was drawing us together. I had wrapped my arm around her waist and her heartbeat had started to quicken again, I had nuzzled my nose into her neck and instantly felt whole. Joel wasn’t happy by my open public display of affection or the fact I was satisfied with what I was claiming as mine as he then snarled at me and barked at me to get away from her. I made it clear that I was aware that she was no longer his to claim but was available for me to claim and I dared him to challenge me. It was evident that he didn’t stand a chance so he kept quiet, with some hesitancy he walked away. From then on I decided to bring her straight back here but she had requested that we find her friend. With a bit of thought, I had decided to meet her request; it took longer than I wanted it to but eventually we had found her and brought here back.” Cane was sat watching me as I babbled on with a look of amazement in his eyes. A smile creeps up when he could feel that I was feeling some sort of way for Lexi.

“Damn, Boy, that was some story you just told me. You really are drawn to her, huh?” He says with glee in his voice.

“You have no idea how badly I want to mark her. The more she remains unmarked, the more she’s going to attract other wolves. It’s going to be hard for me because I want to lock her up away from them all. She’s her own person and deserves freedom but I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to contain both mine and Ripper’s lust for her. Especially if she starts teasing me like she had done.” I pinch the bridge of my nose while clenching my fist, Cane sighed as he patted my back.

“If you want my advice: you know it takes us Lycans centuries to find our true mate. It sounds to me that you have, I respect that you want to respect Lexi’s boundaries but you know fully well she’s in the position to be claimed by anyone. Whether it’s by force or not. You have a lot of power and females are drawn to that, if you don’t show your possessive side every now and then she won’t take you seriously. It’s obvious she’s insecure about herself and wants to let her inner devil explore itself, the more you show that you’re territorial over her and that she’s yours, the more she will want you. Every girl wants to feel wanted and desire, even though I’m sure she already feels wanted by you, you’ve been lenient with her. I know you don’t want to upset her but she clearly needs to expand her horizons. If you sense that she’s a strong individual then don’t be afraid to put your foot down.”

I process the words my cousin had said to me and I agree with him completely. Sometimes all it takes is another person to sharpen your vision. I’m a smart guy, I already know this. But since meeting Lexi my life has changed, I’ve never met anyone like her before. The reason why I’ve held back my inner self and my beast is, because I don’t want to make the mistake of pushing the one good thing happening to me away.

“So, now that you’ve had some time apart.” Cane says with thick humour in his voice, interrupting my thoughts.

“Do you think you’re ready to be around her again?” He asks me, c*cking his brow at me with suggestion.

“I know you can’t stand being away from her.” I hiss at him as he continues to joke, wiggling his brows in a dance. I laugh at him before answering.

“You’re such a toss**.” I tease him as we both laugh.

“Fine.” I sigh.

“Boys, get your swim trunks on, we’re going to the pool.” I turn to my friends as they’re chatting away in the corner.

“Can’t stay away from your lady for too long, eh?” Aaron taunted me.

I flipped him off as the boys snicker like hyenas before turning around.

“Shut up, immature apes.” I snap as I poured myself another drink.

“He’s so tense, Man.” Owen snarked as him and Aaron disappear after I ordered them to go to my room.

“Thanks for the man talk, Cuz, it feels good to get stuff off my chest.” I blurt out, smiling at him.

“What are family for, eh? Besides, you’re more like my brother than my cousin.” He pats my back again cheerfully.

“Let’s go join those baboons before they wreck my room, or better yet find their way to Lexi.” I drastically say while Cane laughs at my possessiveness.

We followed the boys with drinks in our hands, we then got to my room and the boys were acting like immature tw*ts. I rolled my eyes at them as I rooted through my drawers for swimming trunks. I threw one out for the four of us, we stripped naked and put on the trunks as we all chattered like boys do.

After a short period of time of us mucking about in my room, I growled for us to make our way to one of our swimming pools, the boys laughed at me for being so grumpy. Not that I expect anything less. We started to make our way to the pool while continuing to act like a boisterous crowd.

As we got the pool, my eyes instantly zoned on Lexi. She was wearing a laced violet-purple one piece. I was stood frozen, ogling her.

She doesn’t even know how f*****g divine she is.

She’s in her own little world with my sister, they’re splashing away in the water laughing with each other. The feeling I have watching my sister and my calling mate makes my heart flutter.

I walked towards a sofa that’s in the distance but was close enough for us to see each other. I sit down and slouch into it while hugging a cushion with a drink in my hand. I watched the boys as they throw themselves into the water, Cane had put on some music which relaxed me a little. My eyes flickered back onto Lexi.

I was feeling exhausted from pent up anger and need, but looking at my little snowflake made it so much better. I loved watching her giggle, but as I continued to watch her my eyes were glued on her body.

Her figure was shaped perfectly, she was a petite girl but her curves were shaped just right. Her legs weren’t that short compared to an average female wolf but they made her short enough for me to cover her entire body with my own. The thought of my body covering her sexy little figure arouses me, the thought of me having her skin under my touch makes my d*** twitch.

I moved my gaze upwards and looked at her breasts. I’m not even ashamed of doing so, she is mine, I can ogle her whenever I want. My d*** hardens as I continued to stare at her, she wasn’t too skinny but she wasn’t too chunky either but her breasts were quite big.

The one piece she was wearing was low cut around her cleavage and the lace emphasised her perfect shape. My mouth was watering as I continued to look at her, my beast wasn’t happy with her wearing tiny little things like she was around other male wolves. And neither was I to be honest.

But since she doesn’t love herself as much as she should do, I have to tell myself and my inner beast to allow it. She deserves to feel like the sexy deviant she truly is, she deserves to feel wanted and loved. When I look into her soul, I see that it is pure, she reminds me of my sister. I love my sister very much, she deserves to be treated like a queen. People take advantage of her kindness which royally pisses me off.

As I continued to stare at Lexi she catches me ogling her. Her face flushed deeply as she flutters her eyelashes at me, I shake my head at her coyness as I see Vic giggling at us while the boys jerk about in the water. My heart is beating fast and I take a swig of my drink before striding over towards her. I placed my drink down at the side of her and got in the water.
