The Cure

Stupid Mate Bond -Chapter 3

"Mhm! " I heard someone cleared it's throat.

I lift my heat up,and see that on the chair that is opposite of me it's Markus's mother,our pack's Luna,Diana.

Ofcourse,I recognized the smell.

"Good evening!I'm sorry, I'm a little tired and I-... " I shyly said,my cheeks turned in a slightly red.

"It's okay dear. My feet are a little tired,and I tought I could wait for Cyrus here,and exchange a few words with my son's mate" she smiled brightly and she softly cupped my hand with both of her hands.

Her skin was so soft and her eyes glimpered with so much emotions like she was on verge of spilling a few tears.

If my cheeks were slightly red,now they were burning red .

"I'm so glad that my son found his mate,and that that is you!" she happily said.

"Actually,I don't know if he is my mate,I am not 18 yet..." I gulped hard after what I said thinking at what words came from my mouth.

Silence...

'My damn big mouth'

Thinking a bit,she finally spoke.

"I know darling,this had happened before,but every time it turned out that the mate bond was mutual."

she smiled softly,one of her hands patting mine.

"Really? I didn't knew...I'm sorry...." my look lowered and remained like that a few seconds until she spoke again.

"I want to ask you something.Since we are friends with your dad,I afford to be straightforward with you"

Her face had a serious look now,and her hands retreated from holding mine.

I straighted my head,and turned all ears and eyes to her.

"I want you to be patient with my son,and I know you had your researches for The Cure ," she whispered the last words turning her head like it was a secret

"but I want you to stop them."

Her eyes give me the look "do you understand?"

"B-but..." I stuttered.

"No 'but's' ,my son ,and his well being is more important than anything.And from what your father told me,if you find it,you can become a human. My boy will be heartbroken if the bond is broken,and our job me as actual Luna,yours as future Luna are far different from what you do." she put a hand on her heart and her eyes were having a worried look.

" I'm not looking for it just for myself.There are a lot of Omega's ,and other werewolfs which are hurt,most of them from the rejection of their mate,and we can't save them.If this cure will turn them into humans ,then they can be saved."

I said not caring what she will say anymore. Even if I'll keep doing it secretly with Hanny I'll continue my work.

Her eyes now wydened,and her brows furrowed down in slightly anger.

"I will not allo...."

"Well ,hello there mother. I see you found my little mate" Markus intrerupted us followed by his father.

My cheeks reddened.

When I looked up at them I saw that everybody leaved,there were just a few omegas that were cleaning the tables.

I stand up from the table in respect for our alpha Cyrus...Ex alpha ,while Luna Diana did the same.

"Gabrielle,I'm glad you're my son's mate,we have a lot to talk,but we will some other day,now we should all get some rest" he said,smiled when he grabbed softly Luna's hand and left.

My look turned from them to Cyrus and I blushed when I caught him already staring at me with his green dreamy eyes.

"When will you turn 18?" he suddenly broke the silent.

"The day after tomorrow.W-wwhy?"

I stuttered the last words as he came closer and closer until I could feel his warm breath against my mouth ,his eyes aiming my lips and getting darker until they were almost all black.

My heart was beating fast,and with every beat I could feel tingles and sparks all inside my body making me hot.

My hand involuntarily rised up and touched his chest ,trying to push him back,but my power left me melted in his arms,and I couldn't go backwards because the table's corner was stoping me by poking my ass.

He rised his look over my shoulder,and a evil grin appeared on his lips when he saw the situation,he caught my waist and lifted me up and put me on the table and came closer until he was between my legs.

He brushed a strand of hair which was almost covering my left eye,and put it behind my ear,carresing my chin with his thumb.

He stared me with his eyes,which were still black covered in lust,and his look dropped on my lips .

His grip on my waist tightened ,and he pulled me closer my abdomen now toching his hard and muscled one.

"Markus....I...I-I-..."

breathing heavily I tried to stop him,but my words leaved me,my strength too,it was like my all boddy surrendeded to him .

His lips captured mine,into a long kiss.He licked my lower lip,and now the upper lip.

I responded to his kiss,touching his shoulders in attempt to grab his neck,and caress his hair .

I swear I could hear him moan between our mouths.

My lips were melting into his,and the sound they were making when the tongues battled for pleasure ,were turning me hotter,the air becoming dizzy.

His hands went down, stroking my hips, trying to reach the bottom, then I gasped and recovered from the terrible heat emitted by his mouth and body.

My hands stopped his, and I withdrew from the dizzying kiss.

"Stop..." my gaze went down from embarassment and my cheeks were burning.

"I'm sorry,I cant help it.You are mine and my wolf Phoenix (skior)wants me to claim you"

he whispered in a husky voice.

He straightened up,and grabbed my hand and slowly he dragged me up on the stairs ,on a long hallway leading to his room.

He then opened the big two doors,and stepped in. His room was organized,and simple.

At the end of the bed was a long table and a wooden table with square iron legs. The walls were cream, and two silver lamps were above and on either side of the bed. The bed was king size, dark brown, the sheets were white, the pillows were color combinations with black and white brown. The blanket was fluffy brown like milk chocolate. The floor was light brown wood, partially covered by a small black and white carpet and some brown spots. To the left of the bed sat a little longer, there was a desk, made of wood carved with patterns, and a chair. On the left side of the wall were two windows, and on the side opposite the bed was a larger one, and a large glass door leading to a balcony. Next to the large window was a dark brown leather armchair on which hung a blanket and a pillow in the ambiance with the colors of the room.

There were two more doors,I guessed one lead to his walk-in closet,and one to the bathroom since the dor was slightly opened and you could see the sink.

I stood at the door.

"Where I'm gonna sleep?" I asked shyly.

"Here..." he scratched the back of his neck.

"Look ,I'm sorry for earlier,but I promise I won't touch you without your permission.I'm an alpha,and I can't leave my mate sleep elswere than my room...Even if I wouldn't be I would still want my mat-...I mean you to be in my be-...I mean room...I mean I could sleep on the fl-...but I won't do anything to you...Unless you want to,but you don't so I'm not ..." he begun to gesture as he rambled.

He rambles! I couldn't help but giggle.

He looks so cute when he does that.

"It's ok,we can both sleep in the bed. " I coughed and put on a serious face,but my lips kept twitching .

"Ok,you can take a shower,and I'l send someone to bring you some clothes,or you can borrow one of my shirts. " a smirk appearead on his face.

"I have some bussines ,and I'll come back later,you should get to sleep". he then out a serious face,and with one movement he left and closed the door.

He left me alone,with my toughts.After a few minutes,someone knocked on the door.

An omega brought me some shorts and long T-shirts,saying they were new,from their guests rooms ,kept just in case.

I went in the bathroom,took a quick shower,as I was exhausted mentally.

When I came out I was covered in a towel when I tought,why not see what was he saying that I should borrow his shirts .

I walked in to the walk-in closet,and my nose was pleased by his sublime scent of woody vanilla .

I inspired deeply and closed my eyes. This was so good ,and sweet.

My eyes got caught by a black T-shirt, long, oversized .

I took it,and tried it.

My tummy was tingling ,and I felt goosebumps all over my body. It was up to my knees,and I felt like he was embracing me.

I kept deep inspiring his scent.

Then one tought came to my mind .

Was he really my mate?I haven't felt like this before.

I had a few boyfriends,I mean two or three,but we only kissed.

But anyway,it never felt like it felt when I was with Markus...

Those butterflies,and tingles,and the SPARKS,man those sparks!

Suddenly his face and body came to my mind.

Damn!

I kept thinking about him.

Maybe his mother was right.Maybe when I will be 18 I will found out he is my mate.I'm pretty sure.

That's why he asked my when my birthday is.

I went to bed,I grabbed my phone and texted Hanny.

I haven't seen her since the ritual and she never lifted her look when she dropped her blood in the sacred bowl.

I tought it was from the order alpha Cyrus gave.

'Hey bestie,how are you?I'm sorry for not looking for you,as you see so much happened.'

'Text me when you have time.Love you!'

I hope she's not upset for not updating her about me being Markus's mate .

I looked into my phone's photos and found 'the one'.

It was an old picture with one of the firsts werewolves. He was angry,and with an ugly face,red eyes,and big muscles under his fur. He was staying in two legs,he was a lycanthrope.

A lycanthrope is one of the firsts werewolves in the world. They could sit like a human in two legs,and they were not fully transformed into a wolf,you could still see some features of the man before wolf.

They were stronger than any other wolf,or alpha.

In our time there was one more lycanthrope,that was Xavier. His hatred against weaker wolfs was known. He killed without any second tought every weak wolf he saw in his path. He was ruthless and without mercy. He was a killer and every child in every pack feared him ,and ofcourse some tought at him as a legend.

But his location was unknown.Nobody has seen him in ages.

In the photo was an old man near the lycanthrope.

They were on a hill,and it was dark,the fog surrounded them,but you could still decipher the big tall black stones behind them.

They were seven. Or so you could say from the photo.

I found the photo in an ancient book when we were in a trip in Europe at Oxford ,at the Bodlejan Library.

I kinda took it without any-...

'You stole it ,you mean' Shapire she stuck her nose in.

'Okay!I stole it...But it was like destined to me. You know it!' I answered shameless.

She dissapeared in the back of my mind again.She hasn't spoke with me since Markus kissed me at the pavilion.

So 'I borrowed it' and when I opened it,it felt from it.

On the back of the photo is scribbled G. B. ,I always tought it is from my name Gabrielle Brown.

The book was about phases of the moon, the moon itself, and its legends. We were there too.

It's in my secret place now. Good thing I remembered I have to go after her tomorrow.

I always look at the photo and sleep with it in my hands wondering where this place may be.

Soon my eyes close and I drift in dreamland.

My body twitches as a slamming door sound reaches my ears.

I hardly and with difficulty try to open my eyes, but suddenly I don't need to, because a familiar smell fills my nostrils.

I remain on the bed,pulling the blanket up to my neck,when I see him pacing back and forward with his hands clenched and frowning eyebrows.

He kept cursing and mumbling under his breath.

My nose sniffs ,and sniffs ...And I feel another smell of citrus and mint.

My wolf scremead in anger and my hands clenched under the blanket.

"Mmmph mmmphh! " I cleared my throat.

He stoped,and turned his head towards me his green eyes widened.

The facial features relaxed and seemed to calm down. He said nothing and went into the bathroom and heard the shower start.

I had begun to calm down as that smell of another woman disappeared when he took a shower.

I was already half asleep when I felt the bed sink behind me as a sign that he had gone to bed.

His strong vanilla scent invaded my senses in a pleasant way, and I soon fell into a deep sleep

I was in the forest,I hear a lot of growls in my back,it's too foggy but I can see the figures.

I'm turning ,just to see five werewolves with their big fangs,covered in almost reddish saliva, or was it really ... blood? I look to my right and see my father covered in blood with a black dagger stuck in it. It was weird with signs on it. Dad was unconscious.

My hands start to shake, and sweat runs down my face and neck.

This time the growls are closer, I turn my look back to werewolves and booff!, I fall on my back and my eyes meet some neon green eyes as if unreal and the biggest fangs I've seen. His coat is dark gray, but dirty and raised in up.His presence screms death and air around him smells like burnt ash.

His weight presses on my body and his huge claws on my chest leave me breathless. His mouth widens as if preparing to bite me, my heart can no longer bear and my body trembles with fear.

I hear an infernal growl and close my eyes.

Black.

I only hear my name shouted in a sweet and familiar voice.

"GABRIELLE"

I blink,adjusting to the light of the lamp in the room.

My chest moves up and down from the adrenaline .

'It was just a nightmare'

My body drenched in sweat,and my hands trembling.

"Gabrielle,it's okay.It was a nightmare"

Markus was sitting in bed beside me,and holding my hand, carresing my forehead.

"I'm here,nothing will happen to you.You're okay." he softly said with calmness in his voice.

My hand clenched his T-shirt in a fist,as my heavy breath was adjusting to a normal one .

"It's okay,breath!Breath in,and out,in and out..." he kept showing me how to do it.

Like I really forget I followed him .

He cupped my fist and kissed it,little tingles were left on my hand.

My heart calmed down and I only felt his body next to mine,his warmth and his piercing look.

"Uhmm...thank you...I'll go and take a shower" my cheeks flustered with embarassment.

As I got up to leave ,I felt his hand pulling my wrist . As I turned he puled harder and I fell on him.

My hands landed on his chest, and his hands grasped my waist, and he embraced me.

His head was muffled between my neck and shoulder.

A wave of butterflies that were now all over my body, and hot sparks emanated from me.

"Hmmm...You smell soo good.You're scent is so sweet.I won't do anything to you,but I just can't help f*****g sniffing you...You blow my mind away...You take my breath...You are too good for me...I mean not too good,just good for me...I mean you are not just good ,you are amazing,and you mmm..." he rambled and I couldn't understand all of it.

I giggled,and lifted my head and gave him a peck on his cheek and hurried to bathroom.

I don't know what I was doing,but he rambled!In my neck,about me...and he was so cute,and hot...ughhh!Stupid mate bond!

When I came back from bathroom,I weared some black shorts and a white top.

He was sitting in his armchair writting om his phone ,his look was puzzled.

I snuggled in the bed,pulled the blanket up,and pretend to be asleep...until I did fell asleep.
