My Inner Wolf Is Human

Chapter 6 - Justin with his mate

Poem: A boy in the family game

...

In the family game, the boy would play,

a pawn moved swiftly, no time to stray.

With each turn, he'd smile, yet hide his pain,

his heart, a puzzle, trying to maintain.

In shadows cast, the boy did roam,

His family's legacy, a burden unknown.

Used and tossed, he found his way,

Through whispers of truth, night and day.

Seeking answers, he delved deep,

Unravelling secrets, promises to keep.

In the dark corners of the past, he'd explore,

Discovering a legacy he couldn't ignore.

Through trails and tears, he'd finally see,

the truth behind the family tree.

No longer a pawn, but a soul set free,

Embracing his worth, the boy would be.

Justin P.O.V.

Freedom...

It's still a far away dream.

I thought solemnly to myself, as I lay in bed, holding my mate in my arms, close to my naked body.

Feeling her slim figure nestled in my arms beneath a light witchy-themed blanket that she had created before we had s*x. With her head resting on my shoulder, I leaned in closer to breathe in her distinct fragrance, a blend of lavender and vanilla.

It's funny that when I was a child, I was blinded by my parents' boundaries of deceptions and lies.

The only saviour that saved me, letting me see through the bullshit came from Trisha's poetry. Even revealing the truth about my mother's current living drama with a false mate.

I closed my eyes, unwilling to engage in an ongoing stare-off with the darkness within my mate's bedroom.

Once again, I couldn't help myself as I allowed my mind to reminisce to the night that everything changed.

.

Five years ago, at the stroke of midnight on the eve of my thirteenth birthday, I lay sound asleep in bed.

I didn't even know that Trisha had planned to sneak into my bedroom and to wake me up.

Being half asleep, I tried to tell her to leave me alone. Until she told me that if I wanted my birthday gift early, I had to read her poem now.

Hearing those words perked me up. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes as Trisha switched my bedside table light on.

I moved to a sitting position in bed, as Trisha sat on an open spot and handed two things to me. Told me that I will understand when the dense fog lifts inside my head.

I arched a brow at her, then shrugged, gripping the poem in my right hand and a glass of water in my left.

When I completed reading the poem, I was hit with a wave of dizziness and nausea.

.

Amidst Trisha's muffled voice, the only discernible word was 'Wolf.'

It was at that moment I heard my inner wolf speak to me for the very first time. Assuring me that he was here to save me from my family's destructive path.

His name is Draven, he arrived as a very early birthday present from the Moon Goddess Selene. Plus the added bonus for me during that day was Trisha's best friend joining her at my birthday party.

(I know that Trisha and Amabel were two years younger than me. But our birthdays fall in the same month but on different days.)

Trisha introduced the two of us.

Her name is Amabel Jackson...

Not trying to be a p*****t or anything. I briefly took in her details, her eyes are pure emerald green - not lime green, or any other type of green. Her raven black hair was tied in pigtails.

Until Draven revealed an image of her older self, resembling a young Natalie Portman.

She is also a mix of werewolf, shifter and a white witch. From that day, aided by Trisha and my mate, we collaborated as a team.

Out in the open, inside our pack, Trisha and I had to pretend to be 'Fated Mates'.

Putting on the show to make my father believe that those tablets he kept on giving us is working towards his plans.

According to him, we both had peculiar health conditions. That was disclosed by a white witch during our respective births.

With Trisha's help, she knew when my father told half the truth.

Nevertheless, she required time to figure out the current situation with my mother's mental state.

As for high school, I had to beg Amabel to use her gift to be other girls so that I would be labelled as a player. So that way she would be by my side everyday, with illusions in play for others to see.

While my eyes see her true self, being beautiful and sweet.

Even if we did foreplay and messed around in her room or mine. I wanted to wait for her sweet sixteen birthday to make sure that it was special - given the fact that I was still a virgin.

While we were together, and blessed by the Moon Goddess, Trisha would use her hidden gifts to play M.I.P.

(Just like the movies, Mission In Possible.)

During her investigation, she learned that my father, too, was administering mysterious tablets to my mother. Where it established a false illusion of them being 'Fated Mates'.

Trisha had discovered that my mother had shattered the influence of the tablets. Where she almost ended my father's life early in the morning on my sixteenth birthday.

He then proceeded to confine her to their bedroom, followed by a dark witch that appeared in the corner of the room. She then put a sleeping spell on her, and told him to construct a lie about her current condition. Another fake lie.

I wasn't in the mood to stay in a pack where one's father continues to play games with our lives.

So I booked us four into my favourite hotel, and with Trisha's help to teleport us to the garage. Trisha even left a message with my dads Beta. With all our suitcases inside two cars, we drove to the hotel.

I didn't want Trisha to teleport us directly there, it would set off too many questions that I was also in no mood to answer.

I made sure that we had adjoining rooms. Trisha and my mom stayed in one and I stayed with my mate in the other one.

I asked inside a mindlink to Trisha, asking if she can make the room sound proof since tonight is the night.

Trisha knew the code word and agreed, putting the room in a purple ward colour.

The next three days were amazing!

While Trisha sorted things out, my mate and I finally got to finish the Mating Bond. It was worth waiting all those years, because foreplay has its limits. I love the feel of my d**k going inside her slick v****a, making her scream out my name.

Having s*x with your mate is so heavenly. To feel all the sparks running through your bodies, building up to the best orgasms ever.

I know that our birthdays were last month, but I wanted to wait a little longer to make sure that nothing interferes with our future together.

Plus, I had to use condoms on the safe side, until I can figure out how to break whatever bond my fa-

*You do know that I could be pregnant, right?

I smiled, trying not to laugh at my cheeky mate's angelic voice speaking inside our mindlink.

I used my wolf sight to see in the dark room, finding her head still on my shoulder.

I knew she was smirking, while pretending to fake sleeping in my arms.

*Well, if you real-

*Finish that sentence and no s*x for a month for you.

*Not when I use my secret spots to make your whole bod-

Our bedroom door burst open, startling us both, as the intruder turned the lights on. The sight rendered both of us speechless, sitting in bed, with the bedding held close to our chest.

I couldn't believe that we were gawking at my mother, standing in all her naked glory by the light switch.

We both observed in astonishment as clothes manifested onto her body. I wondered if my own mother had similar abilities to Trisha. To simply materialise any clothing onto her body.

My mother's face turned from anger to a happy smile, with love showing in her bronze-colored eyes.

"Both of you get dressed, we have lots to talk about. Especially if your mate is going to be carrying my future six grand babies."
