"Hold on a f*****g second. This is too much. One, what do you mean I'm your mate. Two, where the f**k am I and three, why the hell was I drawn here and what's going on!" I snapped...
His eyes grew wide as if he couldn't believe what he just heard. "Y..you really dont know?.." oh man.. he looks heart broken...
"No, I guess not. I mean it wouldn't be hard to believe after everything I have seen. Where am I anyway and why was I drawn here?" Let's see if he can answer my questions.
"Your in Blood Haven. One of the many magically hidden villages on earth. As to why you might have been drawn here... well... I was drawn to you... and so maybe you were drawn to me... we weres call it the 'mate bond' we are able to find our mates as early as 16 years of age, around the time we first turn."
Uh huh... and I thought that was all fairy tails... "And if I'm not a were whatever?" He looks at me puzzled.
"Well, it is uncommon for our mates to be human but you dont smell human..." he looks down. As if I might have hurt his ego somehow.
"Wouldnt I know if I was a were?" I really dont know what his answer is going to be but I can hope it is something that makes sense.
"Not neccesarily. Not all weres shift at 16. Were cats, especially. They sometimes shift after they have found thier mate, if at the time they haven't found them they will shift once they reach adult hood. However, thier cat is always there." He looks deep into my eyes and I see something there... curiosity maybe?
"Okay... so if I'm a werecat... when would I turn?" Am I really considering this?? 'Yes, yes you are. But it isnt like it's the most obscure thing you've considered.' Great. It's the same voice that I've heard since I was a kid. How are you doing creep. You know you're the reason I was in therapy right? 'Don't pin that on me' she snaps.
"Hello? Delilah? You there?" I look up to see that he is now right in front of me looking concerned. "Are you alright?"
"Yes I'm fine. Just having a conversation with myself. " I roll my eyes and I feel her roll her eyes at me. Gods can this get any worse? He raises an eye brow and then starts laughing.
"Wait you hear her and you've never once thought that maybe you're a were?" That stings... and as if on cue with how I'm feeling he stops and apologizes."I'm sorry. I shouldn't have laughed.. have you asked her what kind of were you are yet?"
"No I have not. But I'm not sure if she would tell me even if I wanted to know. Shes got a bit of sass." 'I mean if you asked nicely maybe I would tell you. Oh wait, you don't know how.' She remarks.
"Typical of cats." He rolls his eyes and looks to his left. Very mature.
'Did he just profile me?? You know what. Let me at him!' She screams in my head. Suddenly I feel something else trying to take over. Unsure of what to do I give in and suddenly in no longer in control. 'AND WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO PROFILE ME? IM A LYNX. COMPANION OF THE GODDESS FREYA. HOW DARE YOU!' she roars at him
. "Holy s**t!" He yells. Then suddenly he shifts into his wolf. 'Parton me madam. Hes not very smart sometimes. Names snowynight. And you?'
She perks up, her big paws relaxed 'my name is lyra. It's a pleasure to meet you my mate' pride booms from her. Can I have my body back yet? Also what kind of lynx are you?? She's ignoring me. Great
. 'The pleasure is all mine lyra.' Her body shivers as he says her name. And suddenly I have my body back.
"Okaay then.." I shudder, noticing I'm completely naked I cover my parts up with my arms.
"No need to hide from me, we're mates after all. Well.. not yet anyway. " he smirks at me, his eyes filled with lust and longing. I shiver, but not because I'm cold. I look deeper into his eyes and my breath hitches and suddenly he is knelt down next to me. I breathe in his scent, pine and honey, its intoxicating..
"Kiss me" I say outloud. Our lips are locked together as he slips his tongue in and plays with mine, I moan and then I am pinned down on the ground.
"Gods you're driving me insane.." he whispers into my ear. I feel him kiss down my neck to a spot so tender its unreal.
He grazes it with what feels like fangs and let out another moan... "Please.." I whimper "mark me.."
