chapter 8
923 Words
I woke up and felt my body aching a little. my feet rushed to the bathroom to wash up. I feel like a teenager who has just felt love. Smiling alone thinking about what happened last night. Xander wasn't my first guy, but I never felt like last night when I did it with another man.
After getting dressed, I went to the dining table for breakfast. Not long after that I saw Xander walking from the backyard into the dining room. I felt my cheeks redden and heat up because I saw them.
He wore a white linen shirt combined with black jeans as usual. He approached me and kissed me lightly and sat next to my chair.
"How was your sleep?" he asked softly.
"I guess I just felt like sleeping in my own home." My smile spreads easily when answering.
"You are one with this house."
and also with the owner of this house, I remind to myself.
"Did you find any clues about my sister?"
Xander stopped, as if confused to answer my question.
"not yet." Short answer.
"See? I told you this is not an easy problem." I sighed and started to chew my breakfast.
I finished my breakfast and walked for a while in the park because Xander suddenly received a phone call and had a sudden meeting at home with some of his subordinates. He is very busy lately.
Maybe Xander was right about me united with this house. I feel that this house is like a real home. Even though my house in Australia is not this big.
Ouch!
I accidentally hit a large rock and caused my feet to bleed. I looked for a nearby park bench and sat on it to check my wound.
But, wait ... the wound slowly dissapear and doesn't feel any pain on it.
I looked at my skin in amazement. The wound that I just got slowly healed and there are no scars.
Am I hallucinating? It's still morning but it looks like I need to rest.
I was confused to return home.
I intended to ask Xander this question but I could not find him at home at all. I thinking about this in my room. what just happened? Why do things like that happen to me?

Xander entered the room with his cellphone in his ear. He spoke in a stern, commanding tone to the other person on the other of the phone. He seems still busy with his business.
His eyes softened when he saw me. He stopped the conversation and hung up. Then walk towards me.
"Xander."
"Sorry, I have a lot of business lately. Why are you alone in this room?"
"Er, I just tripped over a park and my feet are bleeding."
Xander's expression turned worried and he looked around my feet to find the wound that was supposed to be there.
"which one is hurt?"
I pointed at my injured leg.
Xander looked at it with confused. Then looked at me again and frowned.
"The wound disappeared by itself." I say softly.
Xander looked at me with a surprised expression. "What do you mean?"
"A few minutes ago my leg was injured and it bled, but in less than a minute the wound healed and disappeared."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, I'm not hallucinating."
"wait a minute." Xander called someone and left me alone.
After a few minutes, Xander returned and sat beside me.
"I just contacted my father."
I listen to his words. "then?"
"I think that was the effect of our union last night."
"Is this something normal that usually happens?"
"Unfortunately no, there are only a few werewolves who have human companions. And those I know don't experience the same thing as you. My father is on his way. We will soon see him."

"It's good to see your face again, Kate." Chris kissed my cheek when he got home. Xander pushed Chris away before I even answered his greetings.
"Father, this is Katherine. My mate."
"Hey, Kate. I'm sorry I can only see you now. Our clan has faced many problems lately." Said the middle aged man who still looked healthy and fit. He was very similar to Xander, except that his gray eyes were clearly different colors from Xander's.
"It's okay, sir. I understand." I answered with a small smile.
"Call me, Father. You are not a stranger in this house."
"Ah yes." This family is very friendly even at the first meeting.
"Xander, give me the details." Father said, heading for the nearest chair.
We also followed him and sat in the available empty seats.
I listened to Xander giving an explanation that Dad needed.
"So you just did make love with Kate last night?"
I was shocked to hear the question that came from Dad.
"Xander, how can you endure the union until last night?"
Chris teases Xander with jokes that make my cheeks heat up.
"Shut up, Chris!" Xander snapped. And Xander turned to me. It made me more embarrassed and looked down.
Xander answered his father's question. "Yes, Dad. I think it's the effect of our union. But that makes me wonder why this only happened to her. A human mate from another werewolf no one experienced this."
"I think Kate is indeed different from other humans, Xander. Or maybe Kate has been blessed with miracles from birth."
Everyone in the room looks at me.
"I didn't know that I had such a miracle from birth."
"It's okay, Kate. We'll find out it together." Answer Dad smiled to convince me.
