Chapter 10

I lay down slightly winded from the push, my head touching the arm rest and my body laying on the sofa, with my feet still on the ground.

Zithanial appears above me and he places his hands either side of my head, his face full on anger. “You think I would harm you?” He whispers in a lethal tone. “You think I would damage even a hair on your precious head? You are my Mate! I now live for you, you are now my life and I wouldn’t have it any other way. We may have only just met two hours ago, but werewolves are only ever meant for one person. So we tend to be a lot quicker with the process than humans. I love you more than anything in this entire world, I will never, ever hurt you.” Zithanial lowers his head closer to mine, our lips centimetres apart.

My breathing stopped. He loves me? He loves me! My gorgeous Mate loves me!

He- he isn’t mad at me. He isn’t mad at me for speaking. Could this be?

Of course it is, you just went and thought the worst. He is our Mate and he would never harm us, Stupid Girl. A decent werewolf wouldn’t harm us. This is what I have been trying to tell you all these years, Saxon is corrupt and evil, making people blindly follow him. It is his doing. Not everyone hates you, in fact, I don’t think many people hate you at all. They are just scared of Saxon. My Wolf calm explains to me.

When did you come up with this? How would you even know?

I socialise with other wolves  in peoples mind, you know —-

I didn’t know you could do that.

Well I can and this is what I have been trying to tell you for the past 10 years but you wouldn’t listen. So listen now!

Before I can reply, a tingling sensation spreads on my lips.

My eyes focus on Zithanial, his dark green eyes, centimetres away from mine. Open and staring into my soul.

If we are this close that means …

Zithanial leans back slightly and removes his, surprisingly soft lips from mine. With a sudden urge, I lean my head up and capture our lips together once more. I just wanted to feel the softness again. Just as quickly as I kissed him, I laid back down again.

I just kissed a guy. I just kissed my Mate, not once but twice! I have never done that before.

Am I aloud to do that? Yes, yes I can!

I feel a blush warming my cheeks, I just kissed my Mate.

Zithanial strokes my cheek with the backs of his fingers, “How could I harm my Mate, when she is as beautiful as you and just talked me.” He whispers with a tender look of love. “You have no idea how much joy this brings me. You make me want to take you in my arms and run out and announce to the world that I love you, that I will do anything for you.”

As much joy as it brings me hearing my Mate say that he loves me, it also feel like this is moving so fast. At the start of the day I knew that I would never get a Mate, now I have one that basically worships the ground I walk on! We have only known each other for a max. of four hours. Then again, we are werewolves and it is normal for you to meet your Mate one day and mate with them the next. It is rare for Mates to leave the mating  a couple of days. How long are we going to take? I might be able to talk to Zithanial, but I don’t know if I am ready to take the next step just yet. But I can’t deny that I have already started to fall for Zithanial. I know from talking, well writing, with him that he is a good man. I can certainly see myself growing to love him, it just that, you know …

“Love?” I whisper in a rough voice. I am still getting use to talking, even if I have only have said two words.

“Of course.” Zithanial answers frowning. “You are my Mate, the one I have been waiting to find for five years. Of course I am going to love you straight away.” I too frown, seeing this Zithanial continues. “Just so you know, I am fine with you not loving me straight away. I will wait, we can go as slow or fast as you want. All I want to do is be with you.” As he says this Zithanial sits up.

I realise that he still was laying on top of me. Almost immediately I miss the warmth from his body on mine.

As I take in Zithanial’s words, it puts my mind much at ease. How luckily I feel right now. Zithanial is amazing and continues to impress and love me.

I fall in love just a bit more.

Zithanial pulls me to my feet and turns me around. Wrapping his arms around my waist he whispers, “It dark outside now. We have spent awhile talking Angel.”

My eyes drift to the glass wall and see that it is completely pitch black outside.

Time flies when you are having fun.

“The Elders and my Dad still haven’t finished with their meeting, so we aren’t going to have to wait and get the results until tomorrow.” I nod absently, I really hope their punishment isn’t too bad. They may have tormented me but I don’t hate them. I dislike them strongly but not hate. I don’t want a big rift in our pack to start from this.

I feel hot breath on my neck, pulling me out of my thought. A shiver runs down my body as Zithanial presses his lips to my neck. He does nothing else but just leave his lips resting on my neck.

Almost shyly he mumbles into my neck, “Stay with me tonight?”

I early laugh at the thought of the Big Bad Alpha-to-be, insecurely asking his curvy Mate if she can stay in his bed. This really should be the other way around.

I nod my head with a smile on my face. I really want to stay with Zithanial tonight, I can’t stand the thought of being away from Zithanial. Even if it is so sleep.

“Say it. Just once again please, I want to hear your beautiful voice again baby.” Zithanial pleaded into my neck.

I take a deep breath, I can do better than that. “l-I would love to stay w-with you tonight, Mate.” I say in a hushed whisper. I hold my breath waiting for Zithanial’s reaction, a good one I hope.

I don’t have much time to react as Zithanial spins me around so fast I think I got whip lash. His mouth comes crushing onto mine in a heated kiss. Zithanial tangles his hand in my hair as the other brings my body closer to his. All thoughts rush out of my mind as I feel his soft lips glide across mine. Sparks tingle across my body and I let out a moan as Zithanial bites my lip. I pause for a second, this is my first open mouthed kiss and I am not that skilled. It actually is a lot of firsts today. That thought too flies out of my mind as Zithanial’s teeth glazes my lip once again causing me to gasp. Zithanial slips his tongue into my mouth. I had always thought this part would feel weird and strange, like it is another persons tongue. It does feel strange but kind of natural. Zithanial’s tongue dips towards mine and I taste Zithanial. It is hard to describe, it isn’t a flavour or anything, it is just Zithanial. It is how I would expect Zithanial to taste.

I soon realise that I am running out of breath and pull back slightly, panting heavily, my chest rushing up and down to take in as much air as I could.

My mind is still reeling from our kiss when Zithanial speaks, “I am going to need to take a cold shower if I plan on sleep next to you all night.”

I blush deeply and awkwardly laugh. I only then realise how tired I was getting, it had been a very eventful day today and it is now getting to me. I stifle a yawn that breaks through.

Zithanial chuckles, “Come on Angel, lets get you to bed.” He takes my hand and leads me back across to the other side of the room to his bed. I sit down on the comfy bed and watch as Zithanial goes over to his luggage and sorts through it.

I really should go down to my room and get some Pjs to wear. I don’t want to go alone incase I run into somebody, but I don’t want Zithanial to see my poor excuse for a room. Even if he has seen it when he barged in before, I doubt he got a good look.

I look up as Zithanial appears before me with a large T-shirt in his hand, he holds it out to me. I look up into his eyes questioning him.

“It is for you to wear to bed.” Zithanial explains as he places it in my lap.

I freeze. No, I can’t. I won’t fit it and I will be embarrassed and Zithanial will be disgusted because I am too fat to fit into his clothes like normal Mates should.

“Go on, you can use the bathroom to change. I’ll be waiting.” Zithanial pulls me to my feet by my arms and nudges me towards the bathroom.

I gingerly walk in, slowly starting to hyperventilate as I go.

I get into the bathroom and lock the door when I am inside. I stare at the shirt in my hand. Such a simple piece of clothing but it holds so much fear to me.

The least I can do is try, it probably won’t work but I can try.

With shaking hands I take my hoodie off and my singlet follows shortly after. I leave my bra on and turn away from the mirror so I don’t have to see my reflexion, knowing that if I do, I wound lose any courage I have.

I slip Zithanial’s shirt over my head and let it for down my body. I freeze for a moment, my breathing stops. I look down at my body and notice that the shirt is still insanely loose on my body and covers the top of my thighs easily.

The air whooshes out of my lunges as I start laughing quietly. How could I have thought the shirt would be too small, Zithanial is a giant.

I take my jeans and am very delighted that the shirt covers a good amount of my legs. I leave my clothes in the bathroom so I can pick them up tomorrow.

I unlock the door and open it slowly, I see Zithanial stretched out in bed with the covers thrown over the top of him and a space for me by his side.

Zithanial’s head snaps towards mess I emerge from the bathroom. He intakes a quick breath and I see his green eyes darken in desire …

With a struggle he gets out, “I think I might be bias but you look amazing on my clothes.”

And that my friend is how I fell in love with me Mate.

I snuggle into Zithanial’s chest as he brings is arm around me and hold me in a tight cocoon of warmth and love.
