Her Unforgettable Mate

Chapter 4

 "There is a lot to know. Where would you like me to start?" Freya asked Andrew as she put the dirty dishes back on the cart and rolled it into the hallway.

    He thought for a few seconds the said, "Can you tell me more about werewolves in general?"

    "Well.. for that we would have to start at the begining.. A long time ago, when the earth was still young, There was a Moon Goddess that was in love with nature and all its animals. But to her, there was something missing in the world. So she asked the One Creator if she could make an addition to the long list of creatures of the world. With the Ones' blessing, she created werewolves, half human and half wolf. The combination of the two created a bond that could not be broken, as they were two souls in one body, two minds in one form. Since the Moon Goddess could not be on earth to control the werewolves, she created a werewolf hierarchy that would be able to lead and, when the time comes, control the other werewolves. She made a promising young werewolf into what we call an Alpha, he would become the leader of a pack called, The First Moon Pack. Over the years,  the young Alpha found it difficult to control all of the werewolves, so he prayed to the Moon Goddess for guidance. She responded saying that she would give him the oportunity to appoint two wolves to be his second and third in command, named the Beta and Gamma. As the years went by, the moon Goddess noticed that he was unhappy with the life he had been given. So she questioned him about it. He said that he was lonely because he could not find anyone to rule by his side. So she created a soulmate for each and every werewolf, and she named them the Luna. She told him that when he finds her he would know as soon as he smelled and touched her. It took some time to find her, but when he did, it was like love at first sight. Many years passed, and the once large pack split into smaller different packs each appointed an Alpha, Beta, and Gamma. The werewolf population grew as werewolves began to find their mates." 

    She had just finished her story, he just looked upon her in astonishment. After a few seconds of silence, he cleared his throat and asked, "Was it like that for you?"

    "Was what for me?" 

    "... love at first sight." 

    Freyas' face paled slightly with the unexpected question. "..yes, it was," she said as she looked down in embarressment.

   With some difficulty he got up out of the hospital bed and sat next to Freya on the couch, placing a hand on hers. Feeling the sparks she looked at him in confusion. "You should be in bed."

    "I know that I have a lot to think about with what you have told me. It may take me some time to accept all of this, but..i do not deny the pull that i feel towards you. Is the pull any different for you?"

    " I have to control my wolf when i am around you, because she cant stop wanting to mark you, and yes it is much more for a werewolf." 

    "What is a mark?"

    "It is when mates claim each other as their mate. Basically, I would bite you at the base of your neck where it meets your shoulder."

    Andrew gulped, "how would i mark you then? I'm only a human.."

    "Well.. you would have to be turned into a werewolf in order to fully claim me."

    Andrews' face paled at the thought of being changed into a werewolf, but he was still intriuged by it seeing as how he has always loved nature, even reading supernatual fiction books, though they may now be based on the truth. 

    "If it is okay, id like to meet your wolf," he asked warrily. 

    "Well.. I could bring her forth, but she might try to mark you, or i could shift into my wolf.."

    "I do not think i am ready to be marked just yet, so maybe if you shifted into your wolf, I could get used to seeing giant wolves."

    Freya smiled lightly helping Andrew stand up and move back to the bed to sit. She then moved a couple of chairs out of the way and started to undress. Quickly closing his eyes to give her some privacy, she chuckled lightly at his reaction saying, "this is normal for werewolves."

    "I didn't think I'd been thinking of joining a nudist colony," he quipped.

    "Ha!" she scoffed. "We only do this so we don't ruin our clothes, we have all gotten comfortable seeing the human body naked. But  it does not mean we are naked all the time," she managed to say while laughing. With that, he heard the unmistakable sounds of bones breaking. Andrew opened his eyes in worry, and as he saw a magnificent wolf his worry disappeared. The wolf stood almost as tall as him, with light brown, almost blonde fur. The eyes were the same color as Freyas, the electric blue that he became entranced by. 

"Beautiful," he whispered. In return she licked his face in affection,to which he was surprised but did not back away. He put a hand on her fur, feeling its softness. "As much as I would like to sit here and admire you, can i have Freya back? I'd still like to talk to her," he said with a smile.

    A still uncomfortable sound of bones breaking and then clothes rustling, she told him he could open his eyes. As he did, she was back in her human form and clothed as well. 

    "Thank you, " he said as he took her hand, still not believing what he had just saw. The knock on the door startled him, "come in."
