True Love

I stood in the mirror, staring at my bare body. It was covered in bruises of all colors. My hips had fingerprints embedded in the skin, the color a disgusting blue. My thighs were caked in fingerprint bruises that were fading brown. My arms also had fingerprints bruises, but they were black and blue. I turned around and stared at my bum, which was red all over, and a clear hand print on the right cheek.

I lightly ghosted my fingers over every single bruise, wincing when it hurt. I don't know why, but I didn't feel scared of Grey and Ryker. No matter how much they bruised up my body I don't think I will ever fear them. I have known them for so long, and I just know that they would never intentionally try and hurt me. Which is also why I don't think I will ever really fear Levi and Odin.

Most of the time that I am with them is when they are taking control over Grey and Ryker, so I correlate the two as the same people. The whole situation between us and what happened when they marked me, I don't really fear them. If anything I am thankful for what they did. I finally feel so full, and content. If they hadn't of marked me, I don't think I would have felt this way at least for a while.

There was a light knock on the bathroom door.

"Come in." I said. The door opened and Ryker's head popped in.

"Hey." He smiled at me, coming into the bathroom. A frown settled on his face as he wrapped his arms around my waist, my back pressed against his chest. He rested his chin on my shoulder.

"Look at these bruises." He whispered, lightly tracing over them. I winced when he touched my hips and he mumbled an apology.

"Beautiful, I am so sorry. We are so sorry. I didn't think we were that rough." I brought a hand up to his face and cradled his cheek.

"Hey. I liked it, don't worry." I said, placing a kiss to his cheek. He closed his eyes and sighed. He gently put his arms around my waist, holding me close to him.

"And all I want is to feel true love." He quietly sang into my ear. I smiled, the song floating and swirling in my head.

"Mmm, what day is it?" I asked, turning around and snuggling myself into Ryker.

"I think it is Thursday, the seventeenth." He mumbled. I stiffened in his arms.

I have been in heat for seven freaking days! Oh god, how many times did I get knotted?

"Relax, beautiful. You can go back to school on Monday. We told the school that we all had the flu." He explained, holding me at arms length to look in my eyes.

But seven freaking days! That is far too long.

"What about my birth control?" I whispered. He pressed another kiss to my nose as he chuckled.

"We gave it to you. But you were too far gone to remember it, beautiful." I nodded my head, relieved. I love children, but I don't know what I would do if I was pregnant.

But when I go back to school, how do I act around Kali after that whole fiasco last Wednesday? Oh my gosh, I am so embarrassed. But wait a second, if Theo is a werewolf, an Alpha I think, then does that mean Kali is also a werewolf? What in the actual fúck!? Who isn't a werewolf, then? I feel like that would be a better question to ask.

"Mmm, beautiful. Let's get you dressed, and some more water in your body. We need to keep down your fever from your heat." He said, placing a kiss to my forehead. I just mindlessly followed him, my brain too focused on what was to come.
