Ivory Woods

Marked

I woke up with a start. My eyes opened to reveal that I was in a room that wasn't mine, in a bed that wasn't mine and more importantly, I wasn't alone. It took me a second to realize that I was squished under a rather large body. A head of black hair rested on my chest and I immediately gasped as I realized who It was.

Kody.

I tried to push this giant off of my body with no avail. Kody grumbled and shifted so he was now by my side, however, unfortunately for me he just pulled me impossibly closer into his hard chest.

After a solid ten minutes, I wiggle from his arms and hop off the ginormous God sized bed. As soon as my feet touch the floor I feel light headed, yesterdays events flood my vision. I need to get out of here now. The one thing my uncle told me not to do was let one of these things bite me.

I run to what I assume is the door and try to open it. It's locked. There is another door at the other side of the room but Kody is stirring, he is going to wake up soon. I sprinted to the door and flung it open but it closed as fast as it opened. I didn't even need to turn to know it was Kody.

"What are you doing?" Came his rough, sexy morning voice. I didn't respond, I couldn't find my voice for once. He aggressively turns me so my back is against the door.

"I'm going home you psycho." I tried to push past him but he was like a rock. He looked down at me with an unreadable expression and I lost it. I threw punches left right and center none of them even touching Kody, He captured my swinging arms with ease and frowned.

"Can you stop?" A frustrated Kody rubbed a hand over his face. I still struggled to move away from him. With a sigh, Kody picked me up, threw me into a room and shut the door, I heard a lock. Jumping up, I started to  bang on the door.  I felt something brush my arm and screamed, then I realized it was a shirt. This is a walk-in closet, and it's huge. I proceeded to bang on the closet door, with increasing volume.

KODY POV

"Jesse." My little sister looked up from the film she was watching, clearly irritated that I burst in.

"What?" She made a point of sighing and looking up at me.

"I need to show you something." Jesse rolled over and groaned really loudly into her pillow before rising and following me to my room.

"This best be important." Jesse grumbled. As we entered I could hear her already. 

Jesse raised an eyebrow as she could hear my mate banging and screaming from my closet.

"Is this important enough?" I sighed.

"You kidnapped a girl..."

"I didn't kidnap a girl! I kidnapped my mate..." I snapped at the overly opinionated redhead behind me.

"Wow, so much better. I thought you didn't want a mate anyway." She inquired.

"Well... I accidentally bit her..." My sister looked as if she was about to say something but thought better of it.

"Well let me see the she-wolf then." I rubbed the back of my neck awkwardly.

"No way..." Jesse seemed shocked as she realized my mate was a human. 

"Open it." She was now interested.

I reluctantly opened the closet and was bombarded by a blonde ball of fire, also known as my mate. I struggled to drag her to my bed and lay her down. I straddled her and covered her mouth with my hands to muffle her screams.

"So you called me here why? To be a witness to you kidnapping a human girl? I want no part in it." Jesse stated, eyeing me suspiciously, I don't like it.

"Jesse!" I yelled in exasperation, whilst still struggling with Adrienne. 

"Damn! What do you want?" She sulked, making a show of holding her ears. 

"Distract Mom, Dad and especially Devon."

"What am I supposed to say?"

"I don't know! Say I got my heat or something." With that Jesse turned red and nodded before sprinting out the room and slamming the door shut.

I finally released my mate and she glared at me with narrowed eyes.

"Get off me, big ass!" She wheezed. 

"You can't run..."

"Yes, yes...off me." I reluctantly get off and I'm surprised when she just lies there, panting.

"You bit me."

"I did..." She sat up on her elbows and looked me in my eyes with her chocolate brown ones.

"Why?" She seemed really serious when she asked the question.

"My wolf took over..."

"Bullshit." I glance at her with surprise. "You bit me. It was your fault." She was aggravating me.

"No. That's not the case," I shake my head, we're off topic. "I need to talk to you."

"So talk." I don't like the attitude she gives but I ignore her.

"I bit you, That is called the claiming so um... Well you may notice some... feelings...towards me. Like sexually." Adrienne opens her mouth but I begin to talk again. "You aren't a wolf, clearly, so you don't get heats. There like these monthly things where wolves feel extremely horny. But... I get heats so I have to be with my claimed one during my heat... In an intimate way. And after you get claimed you have to perform the mating ceremony...where um..." I trail off hoping that Adrienne will get what I'm saying.

"Where what?" She looks at me curiously.

"We have sex."

"No." My wolf stirs in me and I release a growl. "Did you not think all this information was relevant before you sunk your teeth in me, mutt. Unclaim me or whatever you have to do because I am not having s*x with you."

"It's not a yes or no thing. It has to happen, weather you like it or not."

"What are you going to r**e me or something?" She said it so casually. And some wolves with alpha blood would but I'm not like that.

"No. You will come to me." I say itching to move closer to my mate but decide against it.

"But I don't get heats, so I probably won't." She's right. The mate bond is so much weaker on humans.

"That's not important now. I need to go over the rules..." Her face was priceless as I said this. I was going to get submission from her.

"Rules?" She choked out.
