The Wanted Pet

I just stare at her one more second as I swear I see a faded mark, so faded I can't even make it out but I can see the lines, all I know is it isn't the hunter's mark because that was on her left arm. I know all supernatural creatures are marked when they are turned or close to transitioning, I know when I was younger I had a faded wolf mark until I turned, why I don't know I guess it's just a way to let other supernaturals know what we are.

I never met another blue blood but I'm fucking hoping that explains the mark, I know mine started slowly emerging a few months after I turned 18 and she is 18 and 6 months so was I when my wolf mark started appearing, it wasn't much longer until I became a wolf.

"She ready," Nathaniel says Caelyn just looks at me confused as I nod luckily he won't see it since he doesn't have red eyes only I can see faded marks, looks like I need Samual to do more research or I can ask Koby when we see each other, he would know about blue blood, even if I don't trust the guy he is the only one that can help.

"Yes," I say just stepping away

"Just be gentle, I mean it," I say, I'm not growing soft I just don't like others touching or hurting my things, it's the wolf side in me. vampires might be fine with trading pets, but I don't, I don't even like Mia touching her and I know that girl wouldn't hurt a fly, her brother well no doubt he would kill Caelyn if he had the chance to save her pain since he knows the monster I am but the scary thing is I don't want to hurt and maim her as much as I normally do.

Maybe I am growing soft but it doesn't matter that will change the second we get back, I'm going to break, and break her, or I should get her respect and then break her I don't know. I feel like having her blood made me feel calmer, fuck what if she is a fairy or some shit, not that fairies are real, well I hope fucking not, even if humans wrote books about bullshit mystical creatures they don't fucking exist, I also made sure those stupid authors no longer exist.

He nods walking over to her just putting some cream on her arm as I just stand close by, I'm not a fan of this branding I mean if I wanted to mark her as my property I can. As a werewolf I can mark what is mine but I didn't want to, no doubt I would have enemies out there, like Callan I did that boy dirty, and I have had the lingering feeling he would get his revenge one day, but he knows it's hard with me, he can't touch my brothers since they can't be killed and he knows because with my non-humanity I will just move on if a clan member dies as much as it will hurt, but there are other ways to hurt me, not that he knows but he might think a young girl could, not that I care or maybe he just wants peace maybe it's why I haven't heard from any of them and Koby says he hadn't either but it's still a risk to mark her, plus I don't feel that connected to her to do that, werewolves only mark a human if they are romantically bonded.

And how can I love?

There is a bond.

I know there is but I just keep shoving that down and ignoring it "Blood pet I'm guessing" he asks as I just nod.

"Maybe look away," I say just gently moving Caelyn's chin as she just nods looking at the ground

"When are you getting a new one or are your pet days over," I say

"I don't have time, with this role you know, maybe a companion pet but I thought I would ride solo for a bit they are very high maintenance as you would learn," He says just bringing the stencil out as I just keep a hand on her shoulder, at least with the branding you can't tell who the human belongs too if she does escape and get caught she will be sent to Noah and I don't know if that's a good thing either but I know if I don't brand her questions will be asked even if I have my concerns about how powerful she is, if she even is human.
