Wilde

"16"

I open my eyes after what only felt like seconds, and I'm laying in Damon and I's bed. I sit up quickly, all the thoughts of what could've happened after I blacked out, apparently, running through my head. Shit, did we-?

"Two things: First no, we didn't fully mate, I just marked you. Second, good morning sweetheart." Damon's voice answers my unfinished thought question.

I can feel his body sit up and then he wraps his arms around my waist. My skin tingles from his touch. I smile, everything felt right and at peace in my mind and heart. And then, he sets me on fire by kissing my new mark. I hold back a moan and he stops. I turn my head to make eye contact with his beautiful blue eyes.

"What exactly happened after I was marked?" I asked him.

He shrugged. "Quiet frankly, I'm not quiet sure. Once I marked you, your eyes closed, but when I checked your pulse it was normal. So, I brought you back up here and you slept all day yesterday after it all happened. I guess it was just a lot for your body to handle a couple of days after the absorbing of the silver from my body. It was really tough considering it was a silver bullet and not liquid yet. So, you had to use the magic in you to change it from a solid to liquid and then use your magic to absorb it. In other words, it took a lot of damn power from both you and Angel." he said as he moved a strand of my hair behind my ear.

"And my mark?" I asked.

"What about it?" he asked in return.

"What does it look like dumbass. If I've been passed out this entire time, I would like to know what the hell it looks like." I stated.

"Well," he starts, "its not extremely big or small, its the perfect size." he kissed my shoulder. "And, its not just two dots like regular pack member marks." he said as he kissed closer to the mark. "But its the actual greek symbol for the letter a or alpha so it fits you and I perfectly." he said and then kissed my mark, cause me to feel a sensation of passion run through my body.

Marking your mate does many things. For one, it strengthens your bond with each other. Another thing is that it actually opens up a mind link with one another if you were not in the same pack before. And overall makes you long for your mate's touch more which ultimately speeds up the time leading up to the actual mating.

Marks also help females in that it helps us cope with our heats better. Thank God too, I mean, what if I go into heat in the middle of a college class, that would be complete and utter torture if I wasn't marked. Marks basically just turn down the pain during our heats. They also tell male werewolves to back the hell off because the female has already found their mate and their not looking for another one.

I decided to go downstairs and start breakfast while Damon took a shower. When I head downstairs, I run into Bree, pouring herself a bowl of cereal. I walk over and take out a plate from the cupboard that she was standing by. I then notice something very new and interesting on the spot where her neck and shoulder meets. The greek symbol for delta. But it wasn't just that. Her scent was different. Part of it was still ocean like it was originally, but now it also has the smell of pineapple, Henry's scent. And then it hit me suddenly like the Red Wedding scene in game of thrones.

"Um, Bree." I say.

She turns around and looks at me. "Yeah?" she asked.

"You wanna tell me when the hell and how this delta symbol happened." I told her.

"Oh," she started nervously, "Henry and I decided to get matching tat-"

"That shit is not a tattoo. I'm not an idiot. You've done the deed too. You didn't just get marked, you got down and dirty in bed. Now how did it escalate to that and tell me." I called her out on her lie.
