Between The Moon And Hell Fire

Chapter 3

BISHOP 

I know there is a big chance he could reject me over what I am about to say. It's not something I advertise as it could paint a target on my back.

Taking a deep breath, looking into Victors eyes memorizing every detail I tell him my tale of woe. 

"I was tossed out of my house by my parents at the age of 5. I call it a house not a home because you shouldn't be able to map the floors with your own blood stains. I never had anyone to turn to so I had to fight just to keep breathing. Most days that was hard...  At the age of 6 I was in the forest trying to find a new camping ground when I was surrounded by some pack wolves with a thing for little girls. I fought as hard as I could but after a little while my body couldn't do any more. 

They were seconds away from raping me when I felt something so strong in me. I shifted for the first time into my massive wolf. It came at the price of my wolfs soul. She gave me telekinetic and telepathic power along with the ability to shift but My wolf spirit is gone. I only got to meet her for a moment then I had to return to the fight. That was also the first time I killed."

Victor just sits and looks at me. Can't the earth just swallow me up? The first time I say it out loud and it leaves my mate speechless. Great. Just great. Bishop you noodle you should have kept your damn trap shut. 

I use my telekinesis to grab one of his hoodies, a shirt and boxers from the closet. I am so screwed if it snows.

Once I have them in front of me I carefully put them on and use my abilities to transfer money for the clothes to his account. All the practice over the years has helped immensely. 

I get out of the bed still cold as liquid nitrogen. This is the first time in my life I am sad to leave a place.. to leave a person. 

"where are you going?"

I can't face Victor so I turn towards the window. I don't talk to people. Keep my walls high and thick. Stay away from people. They hurt you.

"I have been alone a long time Victor. I don't mean just single. I mean no pack, no family, no friends. Funny how it hurts to leave you then." 

Maybe this time I will just stay in wolf form forever. Humans are overrated anyway.

"Why would you leave?! Do you want to reject me?! Do you want me dead?! Don't leave me! I have wanted you for almost 30 years!!"

As soon as Victor shouts at me I turn toward him. I fall to my knees in front of him, no longer having the energy to fight.

"I always want you Victor but when I told you my tale of woe you never said anything. You didn't do anything. Sorry but I don't know what to think now. I have never met a man so handsome and kind and brave as you. You excite me. I have been cold since I lost my wolf and as soon as I saw you I just wanted to curl up in your arms forever. The closer you are the warmer I feel. So I want you real close."

Guess I am the clingy type now.

Victor

"I always want you Victor but when I told you my tale of woe you never said anything. You didn't do anything. Sorry but I don't know what to think now. I have never met a man so handsome and kind and brave as you. You excite me. I have been cold since I lost my wolf and as soon as I saw you I just wanted to curl up in your arms forever. The closer you are the warmer I feel. So I want you real close."

I get up from where I sit on the bed and gather her in my arms. I should have responded sooner so I could have prevented her from feeling insecure about us. 

I hold her as close as I can. I never thought I would have this with anyone let alone someone as perfect as her. 

"I want you and I want you to stay. You are my mate Bishop. I belong to you as you belong to me. I am sorry you lost your wolf spirit but that does not change my feelings for you. You have accepted me as your mate without question. You didn't hesitate to call me yours. You have no idea how happy that made me. I will do everything I can to make you just as happy every day. Now lets get you back to bed Mi Vida, you still need rest to get your strength back and I brought you up a warm drink."

I lift her into bed pulling the blankets tight around her then hand her the drink.

"Victor will you lie with me, I am afraid you will have to deal with me being a bit clingy as you are my mate, my source of heat and the first person I have spoken to in months, I kinda want to be close to you always."

Hearing her say that has put cocaine in my blood. I go around the other side of the bed and take off my shirt before crawling in beside her, pulling her as close as I can hearing her mutter "show off" when my shirt comes off.

"Be as clingy as you want Mi Vida, having you by my side as my mate is the ultimate honor. Hearing that you want me is like walking on a rainbow.  Later after you sleep I will get you to write down your favourite foods and what you want for dinner ok?"

She just nods putting her head on my chest right over my heart, kissing my pec as she drifts off.

Paradise on earth is with her.
