Chapter Two: The Bond Awakens
1121 Words
KIRA’S POV
“M-make it stop”. I said as my wolf howled even louder. I held my head with both hands and bit my lip. Every inch of my body ached. I craved intimacy, just a simple touch to quench whatever fire was stirring up within me.
I didn’t even have a mate, no bond had been created, so why now? And why here of all places? I looked around and saw a glance of myself in the mirror. My cheeks were flushed, my eyes looked wild, my lips were parted and bitten red. My hands trembled uncontrollably.
Suddenly my nose caught a thick scent. Whatever was stirring up in me before had been completely awakened. I heard footsteps coming towards the door and the door knob twisted. The door opened slowly and a tall figure approached me. The scent became thicker, whoever had entered the room was my mate. The figure stepped into the part of the room where the moonlight illuminated and I saw him. Damien Veil, my bestfriend’s father…..
Fuck!
He walked closer to me trying to observe what was happening to me. I retreated in panic, my wolf howled as if in pain, she yearned for him, but I didn’t want whatever was happening.
Or did I?
“A-are you okay?”. He said as he tried to figure out what was wrong.
“M-make it stop. Please….please make it stop!”. I said helplessly, my body betraying me, demanding things my heart wasn’t ready to surrender.
“Y-you’re in heat”. He said as he looked down on my disorganised state. I hid my face away. He stepped back a little, walking towards the door to leave.
I was relieved that he was leaving but at the same time, disappointed. His scent thugged at me.
“Don’t… don’t go”. I held my mouth with my hands as soon as the words escaped.
What was wrong with me?
He stopped in his tracks as soon as he heard my voice. I could hear his breathing become heavy. Did he feel it too?
“I shouldn’t be here”. His voice was cold and hoarse, they sent shivers down my spine and made the ache in my thighs throb even more.
“I don’t know why this is happening, why does it hurt so much?” I said, a few drops of tears trickling down my cheeks. He turned to me and walked closer. Each step he took made my heart beat faster. I couldn’t understand it, I felt like I was under his control.
“Your wolf… it’s in need”. He said quietly and bent down to get a better look at me.
I flinched as he reached out to try to touch my cheek, then he quickly pulled away.
“This is wrong…”. He said in a whisper as he tried to look away but I called him back again.
“Please stay, d-don’t go”. I said with pleading eyes.
The air between us pulsed, thick with tension. Neither of us were willing to say anything, we just stared at each other.
But why him of all people?
I said to myself.
I reached out to him to touch his face, at this point I was no longer in control of my own body. I just let it do whatever it wanted. My breath hitched, I felt fear mixed with a hint of desire. I had never felt this way before, I liked it. But it felt wrong nevertheless, he was Lena’s father.
As soon as my hand came in contact with his face I felt the bond snap and something ignited within me. A rush of heat surged through my body and my knees gave away making me stumble forward. He held me, his strong hands gripping my waist. His eyes widened as he stared at me.
“No….not you”. He said in a whisper.
My lips trembled, I couldn’t form any words, I couldn’t find my voice to mutter something. I was linked to him, he was my mate.
Lena’s father, Damien Veill, was my mate.
He let go of me almost immediately and stepped back a little. Did he feel the bond as well?
“I… I don’t know what to do”. I finally spoke out, my voice faint. I could feel my wolf trying to claw her way out of my body. I looked at him, I couldn’t tell what he was thinking. Would he reject me as a mate? I still felt this burning sensation, I was still in heat. What would happen now?
“I felt it…”. He said. I tried to touch him again but he avoided it like my hands were tainted with poison.
“I’m too old for you.. Too wrong for you”. His words somehow cut through me like a knife.
Was I being rejected?
My wolf cried out.
“B-but you’re my-”
“Don’t say it!”. He snapped at me, cutting me off from finishing my statement.
“I’m in heat and my wolf wants you.. She.. she yearns for you!”. I said firmly and his eyes sharpened. He moved closer to me visibly trying to resist his urges.
“Don’t tempt me. I’ve done a lot of bad things in my life and I won’t add this to the list”
“Th-then why are you still here?”. I asked, practically daring him to do whatever was on his mind. My wolf had started influencing me, her need for him growing deeper and deeper each second.
His silence was the answer I needed. The tension snapped tight like a live wire. I could feel his restraints unravelling like a thread, his breathing became heavier and I leaned in towards him.
“I-I should go”. He said breathlessly.
“But you won’t” I whispered
His hands twitched and his breath trembled as he stared at me, his eyes clouded with conflict.
“I should walk away”. He said as his hands slid up my waist, trembling. I flinched at his touch. This was it, this was what I’d been yearning for.
“But I can’t!”. He said again, his voice hoarse. His nostrils flared as he leaned in barely holding himself together. I could feel the Alpha in him breaking through the cracks in his restraints.
I wrapped my hands around his neck and leaned in to whisper into his ear, the five word sentence that would change my life forever.
“I want you to mark me”
