Skinwalker - Completed

CHAPTER 104

Rylie tilted her head and looked at the people at the table one by one.

Her grandmother came from tea party with her friends and saw Aly inside. She can understand why the older woman is afraid of Aly. Her grandmother saw Aly transformed in her presence and it wasn't a pleasant sight to see.

They didn't saw her transform, maybe that's why her mother and her grandmother don't fear her. But if they only saw her, they'll have the same reaction.

"Mom."

"What?" Her mother turned to her after staring at Aly.

"Don't look at her like she's a freak. Remember, I am like her too."

Aly could barely get food down her throat by the way her mother stared at her mate. What would their reaction be if she tells them that Aly is her mate? And it meant that Aly will be her girlfriend or partner for the rest of her life? They would surely freak out.

Grandma Scott was silently looking at their interaction and put down her spoon and fork besides her plate.

They all became silent and looked at her grandma. Her grandma wasn't the type to say much but when she opens her mouth they all listened or they'll regret it.

"It's ok, Natasha. Rylie can bring a friend over. This is my home. If you make her guests nervous and feel awkward like that. You'll have to answer to me. Do you understand?"

"Y-Yes, Mom."

Her mother couldn't look at her grandma's eyes and she saw how the latter is all too serious and then winked at her when her mom is not looking.

Rylie smiled at her grandma. Her grandma always had her back and that is the thing that she was grateful for the old woman.

-----

"Whew!" Aly wiped an invisible sweat from her forehead and grinned at her. "Your grandma is cool. Is she always like that?"

Rylie shook her head and threw her head back laughing. "No. It's the first time that she did that. Maybe she liked you."

"D-Does your mother and grandma knows that you are into—uh—"

"Girls?" Rylie finished what Aly wants to say to her. They are now walking up the stairs to her room. "Yes. They know. Maybe my grandma sensed that I like you."

Aly blushed and Rylie smiled. She knew that Alyssa from the moment they met is cool and composed. She wasn't used to this Aly, the one who blushes like a teenager.

"Thank you for being with me here."

"No." Aly stared at her and they both stopped in front of her room's door. "Thank you for worrying about my safety."

Rylie felt heat travelled to her cheeks and ears. She must have look like a tomato right now. Aly can say things and she'll just blush like a kid.

They both entered her room and she closed it. Aly sat on her bed and looked at her.

"Well. I heard that you and Kelly went to Lina to ask for a pseudo-moon?"

"You mean this?" Rylie lifted the pouch that she took from the pocket of her jeans.

Aly smiled. "When are you going to use that?"

Rylie looked outside. It wasn't really that dark and if she wants to maybe she can let Aly stop her if she ever loses control of her Lobo form. There's no time for her to master the Lobo form in the following month. She needs to work on it every day if she wishes to fight alongside the war against the were-witches.

She opened her mouth. Should she say to Aly what the effect of mastering the Lobo form would be? She closed her mouth and shook her head.

Aly would surely stop her from using it. She can't tell her mate but she can ask Aly for a favor. Maybe in the morning but right now, she is getting sleepy.

"What is going on in your mind?"

Rylie looked at Aly. She bit her lip and closed her eyes tightly.

She can't tell Aly or they'll lose the one thing that they have against winning in the war against the were-witch.

"C-Can we just sleep for now?"

It's been an exhausting day and emotionally draining.

Aly sighed and tapped the bed next to her. "Come here. Let's sleep for now."

Rylie formed her lips into a thin line and walked towards the bed and sat next to Aly. She put her head on Aly's shoulders.

"W-What if I died? Will you be able to have another mate other than me?"

She looked up and their eyes met. Aly's eyebrow furrowed. "Why are you saying that?"

Rylie looked away. What should she say to Aly? That there's a possibility that she would be consumed by her Lobo form? Or that the only way she could use the Lobo form's power is in exchange of her losing her sanity?

She can't tell it to Aly.

"In a war there's always a possibility that someone will die." Rylie held her breath suddenly remembering her father. "I-I don't want you to be alone if ever I---"

"Stop it." Aly held her face and made her face her. "You can't die. I will not allow it. Promise me."

Aly looked into her eyes and there was fear written in those sky-blue eyes. Rylie's lips trembled. She doesn't want to leave Aly behind, or anyone for that matter. But she knew that everything will end once she dies. And if it meant that the war would be over and there would be peace among the werewolf and the witches. Then she can say that it would be worth it.

"I-I can't---"

"You can." Aly's hold of her face suddenly became hard and Rylie flinched.

Aly must have noticed that she was hurting and loosened her hold. "I-Im' sorry but I can't let you go. Rylie. You are my mate and if you ever want to leave me. I'll surely follow you even in death. So promise me you won't leave me. Or go die on the war. I lost my family and I don't want to lose you too."

"Aly...." Rylie held Aly's face. She don't know if it will work but she will try in her power to always be in control of herself and not let the Lobo win. "I will."

Aly's face lit up and Rylie smiled in return. It looked good on Aly.

Rylie jolted when Aly held her hands and brought it to her lips. Heat travelled all over her body and goose bump suddenly erupted in her arms and neck. It was the warmest thing anyone ever did for her.

Mate....

When Aly looked up and met her gaze. Rylie couldn't help but kissed those lips. She thought Aly wouldn't kiss her back and she leaned back but the latter held her face in place and deepen their kiss.

Their lips and tongues battled for dominance until Rylie felt her whole body fall back on her bed.

Aly hovered over her and smiled. "As much as I want to take you right now I can't. Not yet. If I mate with you right now. I can promise to let you out of this bed. I'll make love to you all day and all night long."

Rylie felt heat in her cheeks and ears. And Aly threw her head back laughing.

She lightly hit Aly's arms and Aly fell on the bed next to her giggling.

"I love you so much, Rylie. I can't imagine anyone beside me but you."

"I love you too, Aly." She turned to her side and looked at Aly's blue eyes. "I can't imagine anyone else but you too."
