The Cold She-wolf

Chapter Sixty-six: final acceptance

Krystal's POV

   Have I ever kissed a guy? Yes. Who was that guy? Lynn. When he kissed me, I didn't have the will to turn him down. If not we wouldn't have ended up marking each other. Letting him kiss me was an instinct and I liked it. I liked the way his lips pulled me in. I liked the way his hands embraced me and how his body sucked me in. It was an experience I wasn't planning on forgetting anytime soon, an experience I wouldn't be able to forget even if I tried.

Especially after kissing Lee.

   My body reacted before my mind registered the situation. My hands came to his chest and tossed him aside. I sat up with a gasp, feeling my throat close up within two seconds. A bigger feeling of nauseous hit me so hard that the world spun endlessly in front of me. I managed to lift myself from the ground and created enough distance between us. The further away I got from him, the easier it was to breathe. The air was tight around me and it felt as though an invisible rope was choking me. Without much resistance from me, I bent over and tried to hurl but there was little to nothing in my stomach.

   I placed my hands on my chest and stomach, trying to comfort myself as the dizziness slowly calmed down and the world stopped spinning. I could hear a comforting hum in my mind, like an antidote to my sickness. It took me a moment to know that it was Merlynn who was humming. The clearer the hum, the faster I recovered and the more I could feel his anxiousness. He was worried but didn't try to reach out to me.

   I bent my body backward with a sigh, almost in full health again. My body felt like I was recovering from a serious fever. I'd only suffered from a fever once when I got bitten by a snake. It wasn't the type of fever any child should ever experience. I felt like shit and the one who made me go through this was approaching me again with no regret for what he did.

   Not needing to calculate my move, I turned around and landed a brutal punch on his face and smiled at the sound of a bone cracking.

   Lee staggered back with shock and then broke into a spree of curses. I wasn't done with him yet. I followed him and kneed him where the sun doesn't shine, hard enough to cripple him for weeks or even kill him if he was weak. Without saying a word, I turned around and angrily walked toward Flykra. She stood up as I approached, ready to take me out of there. "Bitch, why the fuck do I love you?! Why can't I forget about you after all this time? Why do I always get this irresistible urge to keep you by my side?! Why?!!! Do you think I like having you around?! You were a great friend and I wanted it to remain that way but this force keeps pushing me! Why can't you leave him and just stay with me?!!! I deserve that much for watching over your dumb brother in your stead!!!"

   I ignored him as I reached Flykra. She considerately lowered herself for me so it was easy to climb. "Just you wait. I'll prove to you that a leopard can never change its spot. I will make you realize you're making a mistake by choosing that manwhore over me!!!" He shouted after me as Flykra began to trot away. I gave him my middle finger and gently kicked her side, pushing her to break into a run. I just wanted to be anywhere but there. It was without a doubt that I couldn't leave Lynn. He's the only one my body will ever agree to.

   I felt stuffed, Wynter needed to be free. "Flykra, I'm going to shift, my wolf needs to run free. You can help her by keeping her on her toes. Can you do that for me?" Flykra neighed with joy, more than happy to do so. I smiled and started pulling off my clothes. With only my underwear left, I leaped into the air and shifted before my paws touched the ground. Wynter let out a howl, a happy one because she knew I'd finally accepted our mate. Flykra sped off with my clothes surprisingly linked to her hair and a challenging look thrown at Wynter. With a howl, she chased after the horse, her new friend.
