Woods Cabin Nights

Making amends.

(Hi! I was a little busy this days, I mean I have a life to live.

I'm planning on really update every 2-3 days 'cause I have more work these days so... wait for it. And if you are reading this, say Hi! just leave a comment to know there's life in outer space)

I don't panic at the sight of him. That image it's so vivid. My breathe gets labored I see how he shift back and catches me before everything gets black.

**************************

-f**k! Istar! Damn you'll be the death of me!

I catch her on time before she reach the floor. I take her inside and place her on the bed.

She is beautiful. Focus man!

I don't know what to do, wolves never passed out. Does humans and witches are always so weak? She passed out at the sight of me, that hurts. What if she fears me but she is like me, in fact I should be the one fearing her. Focus man! She needs to rest I will let her sleep she is exhausted and she will need her energies for later. The first day hasn't ended and she already had three waves. Another two or three days to go.

I need to pick my things at the clearing. Maybe she will sleep for another 4 hours before the next wave.

I dress myself and head out of the house. It's cold outside but I didn't bring a jacket so I head up the river to find my things. When in there I pack everything up and head back.

-The witch lives close to here... We should not go!

I heard a girl exclaim.

-I have come here many times, she never leaves her house.

And there is her accompaniment, a boy. I don't need to be a genius to know what's the goal of the boy. They passed me by without notice me and I heard their steps fade. I'm so lost in my thoughts that I distracted myself.

The barrier just works on supernaturals so humans are safe too.

My Istar it's a witch at the eyes of the locals. Humans are sensitively creatures they can feel when someone it's different just being around them. What happens it's that most of the time they got blind by the looks like with vampires, witches, fairies, angels, wolfs and etc... Some of them are not tricked easily and most of them are hunters. Every human has the ability of becoming a hunter given to that they can feel when someone it's a supernatural as all of us do but as I said they choose not to believe.

She must have lived a lonely life, humans can be mean.

I'm back at the cabin. I think I should prepare dinner. She need food full of nutrients. But maybe she it's not used to eat much, she is slim for a wolf, but her hips, thights and breasts at quite full... She is beautiful... Focus Ange! I'm f****d up I'm already enthralled by her. I'll go for a salad and chicken with potatoes.

Entering the place I leave my things at the living room, except my bag with clothes and head to the bedroom, she is still sleeping. I place my bag with clothes on the floor and head out.

I take some chicken from the fridge potatoes, onions, carrots, and everything I need to make dinner. When growing up surrounded by people you never get the chance to make things by yourself. So I avoided them. My father always scolded me 'cause I didn't let the servants do their jobs but I didn't care. Julianne the cook taught me how to prepare food behind the back of my father. I promised Julianne that he would never found out so he never did. He was inveterate that all I needed to know was how to run the pack. The kitchen were for omegas and low rank wolves, not for the son of the alpha. I needed to be strong and show how ruthless a wolf can be, never show mercy on the ones that can't fullfil their command 'cause the moment when I show weakness that will be my end. My pack it's a large one and besides the of iron fist that my father rules with, the wolves in there are happy except for me. The idea of a destined mate always excited me but when I discovered that she will never have a choice whether chooses me or not I decided that I didn't want one, that I should choose one myself. Now Istar appears and turn on my wolf instics. I took her for granted before, I'm not like that, sometimes I'm an ass I know but not at this rate. I always had everything for granted a pack to rule, a bunch of servants to fulfill my desires and the love and respect of everyone in the pack. Being the next alpha it's so frustrating. I never did anything to obtain everything that I have. I born with it. But love it's something that has being denied to wolves with destined mates. Hybrids are the ones that need a mate the most because if they don't find one, they will never start their fertile cycle. So they can't reproduce. They can have s*x but they can't procreate without a mate. And now I have a mate. I didn't know she was mine 'till I realize she is a hybrid.

I was never happy on my pack so I left. When I was sixteen I packed my things and went to a school abroad to study photography. What can I say? I'm a nerd. I skipped grades to enter a college and live on my own picking up my own mess and testing the teachings of Julianne. It was hard, my food always tasted bad cause I never before have cooked alone. Julianne always was there with me and helped me. After some time I learned finally how to cook a decent meal. How to wash clothes without ruin them how to clean the floors and do the dishes cause every week I always ended up buying more plates.

I'm a little confused about what I'm feeling about her, so far she has challenges me and she doesn't know a thing about the supernatural world, she is unique even if i just meet her I can feel it besides the bond. Call me old fashioned but the fact that she was a virgin it's great... As I said many females gave in on their first heat... So that mean almost there's no virgin female out there except for the mateless hybrids that chose to wait. So I'm lucky she hasn't being touched by anyone before. She is mine and only mine.

If she does not want me to mark her I will not do it. My instincts will demand me to mark her but I already r***d her I don't want to hurt her again.

I have being around females in heat since I can remember and I never have r***d a female. All the girls that approached me always wanted a pup but I never gave them my knott. Their heats never affected me and I now I know why. I f****d them it's true. Those girls were in need and even if their heats do nothing to me I'm still a male.

I put the chicken in the oven and clean my mess. I head to the bedroom, she is still asleep so I pick up my bag and take some clean clothes and leave them on a chair and head to the bathroom.

My body is sticky I have deer blood and other fluids that need to be washed away.

I turn on the shower and undressed. When I'm done I head to the bedroom and she is awake. She stares the room as if checking something. Don't freak out! Please!

-So you still here?

She said when she sees me and then almost in a comical way she plops to bed with her arms wide open staring to the ceiling.

-It wasn't a nightmare, it's true.

Her eyes began to cloud with tears.

-What you said it's true, isn't it? You are what you said you are and I am one of those too? Does that mean that I'm bounded to you in some way?

I didn't try to interrupt her, it's the first time she speaks more that a word.

-Yeah... We are mates. It's a biological mystical thing that some wolves have. But as you being a hybrid it's a need.

-A need?

She rises and lean on the head rest of the bed hugging her legs and placing her head on her knees and looks at my direction, her tears that rested on her eyes fall through her cheeks.

-Your heat cycle only will start just when your mate it's around, to attract him because that's the only way you'll be fertile.

-So, when this will end?

-In a couple of days, you might not get pregnant-. I find myself saying even if that's what I want and I'm sure it will happen. -But your heat it's really strong... I can't guarantee it won't happen.

-So I'll be having those waves...

She blushes her tears had stopped.

-Because of you? And we must copulate every time?

I get closer to bed and sit to a side a little far from her. I don't want to trigger another wave.

-In fact it's something mutual, but yes because of me. And yes, as you have realized well you just be in so much pain, if you were younger you could surpass it but you are at the top of the conceiving age so... Your body it's demanding you... To have... Some pups... And in my case... Well I'm your mate your scent It's intoxicating to me, I can't control it even if I want to... It's affects me the same as with you.

-So... I have to accept the fact that I must get pregnant by a stranger?

-Sort of, but it's not like that... Well it is. The legends says that the moon goddess our creator made arrangements for all her childs to be able to find happiness the ones that need a mate the most are "blessed" with one-. I said marking the word "blessed" with quotations marks using my fingers.

-I personally never saw it as a blessing. But you being a hybrid you have one 'cause... Well it's needed to form a family together.

She stares at me with a blank face, just absorbing everything, trying to take everything in a civil way.

-I don't know you and I know that we are strangers to each other but... Even if we don't want to I have to say that we have no choice, we are bound maybe since our births.

****************************

When I woke up I was restless the nightmare that haunted me was so vivid that my fear was real. They were following us, those were my early memories. My father and mother were running from the wolves that haunted us. I don't want to think about it, the sole idea just make me shakes in fear of what might have happened to them. They left me for a reason.

When I searched the room my thoughts were confirmed, it wasn't a nightmare it was reality, he was coming out of my bathroom, everything it's true. I barely remember them but I now know that they loved me... The only people that have love me besides my granny have never got the chance to see me growing.

My heart aches... But I feel numb.

There's a lot to process but I'm not alone... Not anymore. Even if my reasonal mind says that it's wrong it's not. He is not at fault. I was the one rubbing against him two of the times that we have done it.

He says the true, I feel it. Like when I always feel something with people around me, well the few of them.

-I'll go to take a shower.

I say and get up. I see how he seems preoccupied.

-... I

-I will not try to hurt myself, I was confused. I need some time to... process everything but I'll think of something that makes this work or sort off.

-Ok, so dinner it's almost ready... I made chicken.

-Good.

I head to the bathroom.

When I'm out he is gone, maybe he is placing the table and everything. I head to my closet and pick black sweat pants and a loose pastel pink sweater.

I head to my dining room. He has changed on gray sweat pants and a white shirt. I realize that he has been feeding the fire 'cause it's warm. He has placed everything on the table and the smell of the food it's so good, my stomach grumbles and I flush. I know I can eat a lot, I always ate more than all the girls at school. And I know I still. But I'm famished it's like I haven't eat anything since yesterday. He is leaning on the counter and grins a little and gesture me to sit so I sit. He gets closer and takes a seat beside me.

-It's normal you being hungry, your heat consumes a lot of energy...

I take the glass of water that's on the table and drink all. He eyes me while standing up and takes the glass to fill it again and place it in front of me.

-I was really thirsty.

-It's ok.

He sits again.

-I made chicken with potatoes and some salad.

-Thanks.

I take my fork and start eating. Mmmhh it's so good he cooks better than I.

-It's my pleasure.

When I'm done my second plate I'm full. He has cooked for me and taked care of everything, there's no plates on the sink and the fire keeps burning.

He takes my plate to place it on the sink so I follow him.

-I'll get the dishes, you have done enough.

-Don't worry. It's ok you must be tired.

He is right I feel like a truck has hit me. So I left him and seat on a stool facing his back. His arms move to take care of the task he is doing.

He is the sight of those boys I always find myself drooling over on the tv. He is gorgeous. He is quite tall for me I barely reach his shoulder on my tippy toes. His light brown hair is so soft. Ooh, the warm sensation it's starting on my stomach making me feel again the heat.

-I recommend you stop ogling me if you don't want to start another wave. As much as I love having you on my arms an under my body, I really would like get to know you better.

He said with a strained voice still facing the sink, his arms show some veins and I see he is holding the sink with force. I turn my sight away. He is right I flush by his words and I feel shame.

-Sorry it wasn't my intention.

-It's ok, we need to be careful that's all.

I get up from the stool and I recall that I have to end the potion I'm preparing for Mrs. Exposito.

-I have something that I need to take care off, I'll be on the storage room.

-Ok.

I don't look at him. It's weird how so much has happened in the last hours, I get to know a lot about me that I ever have imagined. The reminder of what he has done to me still hurts a little, I always dreamed of the day that I would get to have a boyfriend and go on dates and give my first kiss, marriage proposal and give myself to him out of love. But it was a dream so far from my reach. He is a good person I can feel it. At the beginning I feared him but something tells me he will never hurt me.

I'm done preparing the solution to be distilled when I heard someone entering the room.

-Istar, are you here?

-Yeah, over here, behind the curtain.

-Woah! You have your own lab over here... It's amazing.

He says, that just made me fell a little embarrassed, no one has ever gave me a compliment or sort of one.

-Thanks. It's just a basic lab for my products.

-... What were you working on?

-It's something that a customer will need in some days.

He gets closer to the empty vessel that I was about to wash and start smelling it

-Wormwood... and elderberry... Are you killing vampires with this?

I open wide my eyes, did he just say vampires? And me killing them? I can't even kill a fly without felling bad about it.

-No! It's for a client, my granny taught me what it's needed for some diseases.

-Don't get me wrong but I've have mhm used this before and it was not for a sick person.

-My client it's human. She have some sleeping issues. A week ago she came for the usual, she has some rash and it might be nothing but something tells me it's a disease so I'm making this in advance 'cause she'll need it.

-Oh... So your granny has taught you everything she knew?

-Yeah.

-And how do you remember everything?

-She made a lot of books with her knowledge. They are at the living room on the little library some are store with other books on that locker.

I point at the direction in front of me, in there are many biology books and encyclopedias all about human beings, animals and plants. Everything that it's needed to know about life itself.

-When I need to make some research about something that I can't recall I always have where to find it.

-Oh... Impressive. But this that you are making it's for vampires and your client have one sucking the life out of her.

I'm speechless, no way. Vampires are real? I mentally face palm myself, werewolves are what are the odds? I sarcastically said to myself. Other thing that made me really wonder if he had some issues down there was the knott that forms on his p***s, and when he said he is a werewolf something fit with that physical part of him, I mean it made sense like wolfs do.

-Ah, you are saying that someone has being drinking her blood since then?

-Maybe before that, vampires are not regulars on their food at least if they are loving what they eat, If it's the case then they will dry off their victims in some days and because she sleeps like a baby she'll never found out. So the vampire have a guarantied meal every night, it could be a new neighbor of hers.

-I... Don't know a lot about her... She was one of my granny's clients and never speaks to me more than necessary. I... People... Are not so found of me around here.

-I get it, small town in the middle of nowhere, a mysterious beautiful girl living alone in the woods that happens to be a herbs specialist... it's something you can call a cliché. You are the witch in the forest.

I feel myself blushing from the embarrassment. He is right...

-Don't feel ashamed about it they are just wary of what they can't understand. Humans are sensible creatures.

-It's just that I never have talked more than just some words to someone in many years. And you seeing how lonely my life it embarrasses me a little.

-I get it, you are not alone now. I'll be with you forever.

I take all the vessels that I need to wash and head out of the storage room with Angel on my tail.

I go to the couch and turn on the TV. It's my routine. It's 9 pm so I can watch some TV show that is popular right now or I can choose a movie, Angel just sits on the couch a little far from me. He doesn't want to trigger another wave and I'm glad he is trying.

-Can you take me tomorrow to town? I need to pick up my car and check somethings, I was just planning on staying here a couple of days, and you being in your condition there's no way I'll be going sooner. I need to check out from the hotel and buy some stuff.

The idea of him leaving comes to my mind, he it's not from around here... That makes me sad. I'll be alone again. He lied.

-Sure.

-Istar, I'll not leave you. There will be some issues I need to handle.

He is facing me looking straight to my eyes.

-I'm a wolf and I'm on line to running my pack... I'm an alpha I born a ruler. In our world we live like this. Don't think I'll leave you alone I might leave for some days but I'll come back for you.

-....

-But right now you don't need to overwhelmed yourself with those thoughts.

-I understand you have a life...

-Yeah, but now you are my life... And at some point I must return to run my pack with you by my side.

His words calm me but... There's something, something telling me that there's more... That not everything will be ok. I feel restless he is secure in his words but my sense that never gets wrong it's flashing me some red lights. Like announcing the start of a bad omen.
