"Andrew, Skylar needs help. Some rogues have her cornered." One of the pack members i shifted and grabbed her sword in my mouth. I ran off, following the Christmas scent of my mate. I found her surrounded by rogues and looking around quickly. I jumped into the circle and dropped her sword in front of her as I curved my body around her so she could pick it up. She looked at it and picked it up before glancing at me. I nodded my head and fought beside her.
Of course I've studied her fight techniques enough to where I knew how to avoid that dangerous weapon of hers. Sure I hated the thing but it was her only source of protection besides me and the pack. I couldn't be by her side all the time so I reluctantly had one made for her. We made a deal that she could only use it when she absolutely needed to. Besides that, it stayed out of her hands.
I dropped the dead body of the last wolf and walked a circle around my mate before nudging her towards the castle. She walked next to me but stayed silent. I heard the sound of a rock being kicked and turned with a growl. I looked around and found Noah walking out of the trees.
"Relax Andrew." Noah said. I used my tail to stop Skylar before I sat down and looked at Noah. He held up a bag then tossed it at my feet. I grabbed it and walked off to shift back i could hear Noah laughing as I opened the bag. In it were my clothes. I believed he grabbed the wrong bag than he intended.
"What? No! Did I really grab the wrong bag?" He complained. I shrugged and continued my walk to the castle with Skylar. People were amazed by how protective I was over her. Well, some were while others weren't. Visiting alphas didn't believe it when they found out she was technically a sworn enemy. I had even stopped one from trying to hurt her just days ago once he found out she used to be a hunter.
"Andrew, I'm tired." Skylar yawned. I nodded and let her put her sword up before taking her up to our room. She immediately went to our bed and flopped down with me following close behind her. She pulled my body towards her and closed her eyes. I wrapped my arms around her and tucked my head in her neck. I left a soft kiss on her neck before I allowed my body to fall into a deep sleep.
********
I was woke up by Skylar drawing patterns on my chest. She had her eyes open and looked comfortable with where we were at right now. I moved a little and rested my head on her shoulder and tried to go back to sleep. She had different plans and pulled away from me slightly. I opened my eyes and looked at her just as she touched her finger to my forehead. She pushed my face back a little then grabbed it and pushed her lips onto mine.
I was shocked but responded and moved a little in order to take control of the kiss. It's not like I had experience with it but I was sure i knew more than her. Her arms went around my neck and pulled me closer to her. I made sure to hold most of my weight off of her and on my elbows.
Her lips were addicting just like her touch. A dangerous combination that had an effect on me in a way no other could experience. The longer we kissed the more I wanted her. The more her fingers played with my hair, the more I wanted to make her mine. She wasn't aware of the effect she had on my though. It was a big one and it was noticeable to a blind man. I pulled away so she could catch her breath and left kisses down her neck. She moved her head to the side and gave me more access. I found a spot that caused her to let out a breathy moan. I struggled to control myself and gripped her waist more. She whined slightly and hooked her arm around my neck and pulled me closer. Her lips found the spot on my neck that could have me unravel. She kissed there, her teeth grazing there as I let out a moan next to her ear.
"You're making it hard for me to control myself." I whimpered out as she kissed there again.
"Then at least mark me." She whispered as she pressed her lips against my ear. I felt a shiver run up my spine at the action and leaned down to where my mark would rest. I ran my tongue across her skin there which made her squirm a little. I bit into her flesh there and covered her mouth with my hand to stop her from screaming. She gently pushed against my chest and I was quick to grab her wrists to stop her. I finally released my grip and pulled back slightly and licked the spot again.
"You asshole, you didn't tell me it hurt." She said as she pushed against my chest again.
"I wouldn't have known. I can only mark my mate and all the other people I know are wolves. For a wolf it's pleasurable." I told her. She huffed and crossed her arms with a scowl.
"Oh you're fine. It's just going to hurt for a day or two." I said and got off of her.
"A day or two?" She asked as she sat up. I hummed and grabbed some clothes from my closet.
"Yeah. You should be fine by then. Unless I get hurt. Then you'll want to kill me later." I said.
"What is that supposed to mean?" She snapped.
"That mark will tell you when I'm hurt or something is up. It connects the two of us together." I told her and pecked her lips before disappearing into the bathroom.
