Chapter 4
1125 Words
My mother stepped down from her throne and touched my hand slightly and smiled. I smiled back at her, but my face turned, and I felt my body burn and my nails dug into my mate's arms and he looked at me with surprise. My mother looked at me with a shocked expression before ordering everyone out of the room. My body felt like I'd break, and I looked at my mom for help but she smiled at me,
"Honey you're shifting."
I screamed in agony as my blood boiled and my mother quickly ushered my mate out and took off my dress to save it from ripping. I fell to my knees as my bones broke over and over with my screams ringing in the room. My mother stood at the corner and I tossed and turned until I felt fire prickling at my skin. With each fur that sprung out, I cried and screamed. My face elongated and when I was finished I lay on the ground panting. My mother stared at me in wonder and I screamed again feeling my fangs coming out of my gums and my mouth shaped to accommodate them. I stood slightly wobbling on my two legs. Two legs, I wondered to myself, I thought all wolves stood on 4 legs. I bent down on 4 legs and shook myself. My mother stepped slowly to me and held her hand out. I heard whispers in my head and I tried to focus on the voice.
"Hello," I thought.
"Hi there," a seductive voice answered back.
"Umm who are you?" I asked.
"I am you and you are me," she answered back.
"What are we?" I questioned.
"Well let's see, I am your hybrid aspect. That means I'm what you become when you transform but I'll let your.... well mother explain."
I looked at my mother and laid down. She came and lay down beside me. Is it me or does she look smaller I thought?
"Nope you're just bigger," Sapphire said. I like my Lycan’s name. It was fun.
I tried to talk to my mother but all that came out was a wolf ruff. My mother smiled at me and rubbed my fur before she began her tale.
"Darling your father was a Lycan which means he was the original werewolf. I had assumed that your brother would carry the genes but when I saw he was a white wolf I knew that you had gotten the gene. What had surprised me is that you got the white wolf gene which merged you into the destined queen of werewolves. I cannot say for sure that I know what part of the weather you will control though. Honey, I'm sorry I kept all of this from you," she finished, and I was left dumbstruck. I was a Lycan? How is that possible. I got up slowly and saw that my wolf was taller than her and stood at six feet. I slowly trotted over to the pool and marveled at my wolf. There was a white crown on my forehead, my ears were tipped white and my wolf had a white underbelly. I sniffed the air and let out a growl that seemed strange to me or did I just purr when I saw a golden wolf trotting over to me. It stood beside me and licked my ears and I heard the purr from my wolf again. The wolf was a bit smaller than me, but I knew it was my mate. I assumed my wolf would always tower over other wolves because of my Lycan genes and I could also stand on two legs.
I looked at my mother for permission to try out my wolf and she nodded. I nudged my mate and I ran off with him trailing behind. We ran through the territory of my kingdom and then I slowly trotted to my favorite place. The water of the weeping willow tree glistened into the moonlight as I changed back into my human form and found a pair of shirts and shorts. My mother probably sent my brother out to leave them, so my mate and I could find. I put on the clothes and waited for my mate to change. He shifted and walked towards me naked and I gawked at his sculptured body. His six pack was amazing, and I suddenly had the deep urge to run my tongue over them. I stood there staring but was snapped out of my trance before I could look down anymore when he cleared his throat.
"Don't drool, mate, we just met." He said before taking the clothes out my hands. He slipped on the clothes and smiled at me before sitting down and putting me in front of him.
"Tell me about yourself."
I blushed and looked at him.
"Well as you know I'm Scarlet Dangers and I'm your queen. Ummm, I have freckles as you can see, and I love swimming. My middle name is Azure, and this is my favorite spot," I finished and looked at him. "Well, that was short. I'm sure there is much more to you, but I'll find out soon enough. Like your interesting wolf. Never seen one like that before. Okay, about me.
I am Sterling Crimson, Alpha of the Crimson pack. I love swimming too and I have a younger sister. Both parents are dead and I enjoy long walks but working hard for whatever I want." I smiled at him and he touched my face slowly as if tracing every line on it before smiling.
"And by the way, I love your freckles, my queen. You don’t strike me as a damsel in distress which means you’re not looking for a knight in shining armor but a sword that will be by your side in battle which is what I promise to be."
I visibly blushed at his words and he leaned in closer. I felt the tingles shoot through my skin like electric as he came closer. His soft, plump lips brushed against mine and I pulled him closer by the shirt and crashed my lips to his. He kissed me passionately and sparks flew like crazy. He effortlessly lifted me on his lap to straddle him and he leaned on the tree while we kissed each other deeply. The kiss was hungry like we were starved of each other and we couldn't get enough. The need to breathe was forgotten as his tongue caressed mine and our tongues twirled around each other. Damn this boy was making me aroused just by kissing. We finally broke apart from the kisses to breathe and I lay my forehead onto his.
If this is what having a mate feels like, then I'm all for it.
