Love Hurts

Chapter 23

I hear her heart beating very fast as she pulls away and looks up at me again. "I.. I want you to try.." She says in a quiet voice. I look at the mark and then her eyes again and nod slowly. "Are you completely sure?" I ask, staring into her eyes. "Yes Logan. Please, I don't want that man's mark on me." I see tears forming so I pull her into a hug. "Ok. But I want you to be sitting on the bed, it's more comfortable." She nods against my chest. She pulls away and takes my hand, pulling me to the bed. I quietly thanked my parents for making my room soudproof. If it wasn't then people were about to think I was killing someone. She sits on the bed and I stand in front of her. I can sense the fear she is feeling and it pains me but I lean down. I take a deep breath, readying myself for her reaction. I feel her heavy breathing against my neck. "Ready?" I ask her, letting my wolf canines form in my mouth. She just nods. I close my eyes and bite. As I do, she bites me as well, very hard. I seal my bite and pull away. She starts screaming as soon as she removes her teeth from my neck. I sit on the bed quickly and pull her close to me. "It's ok.. it'll be over soon..." I say in a gentle tone. She's crying, and screaming in pain. I look at her neck and watch as a black liquid pours out of Demetri's bite. What the hell it that?!

It's like poison Logan. It's exiting her body. When that.... thing.. bit her, her body created that black substance to prevent the mark from taking any effect since he isn't her mate. Now that you marked her, it's finally able to leave her body.

I look around and see the towel I had used from my shower earlier. I grab it before the strange liquid touches her clothes and place it under the place where the black substance is coming out. Kendall's screaming begins to fade away but the crying continues. I watch as the last of the black substance exits her body and the bruises vanish, leaving only my mark. I wipe the areas clean of the black substance and throw the towel beside the bed, careful not to let the liquid get on the carpet. I then direct my attention back to my mate. "Kendall.. are you ok?" I ask her. She nods against my chest. I sigh in relief. "Is the pain gone?" I ask and she nods again. Why isn't she talking to me? I rock her back and forth in my arms and I rub her back gently. Her crying finally stops and I pull back to look at her. "I'm so sorry.." I say softly. I can't believe I did that to her, she was broken enough workout me giving her the most agonizing pain she's ever felt. She look up at me and smiles softly. "I asked you to do it. It's not your fault." She says in a quiet voice. I sigh in relief as she speaks to me. "Is the pain gone?" I ask again. She nods and smile at me. "Yes. It's all gone." She says. I smile and grab her, pulling her to me, and crashing my mouth with hers. She seems shocked but kisses me back almost instantly. I feel like every problem we've had just fades away. As I continue kissing her I pull her down to lay on the bed with me, not braking the kiss. She rolls on top of me and I growl lowly. She pulls back and giggles. I smile at the sound. She stares down at me with a smile on her face, making my heart pound in my chest. Damn what was this girl doing to me? I was never like this before and now its like I am a completely different person. I wrap my arms around her and pull her down beside me again, hugging her close to me. I hear her laugh as I do so. "What are you doing?" She asks. "I want you close to me, always." I say quietly. "Ok." Is all she says in return. I growl lowly as she kisses the mark she gave me. She giggles and I smirk, leaning my head down to kiss her neck where my mark was. I hear her growl of frustration and I smirk. "Something wrong?" I ask. She giggles and I hug her closer. "No." She says, still giggling. We lay like that for a while in silence. "Logan.." She says my name quietly. I prop myself up to look at her. "What is it?" I ask. She looks at me and I see fear in her eyes. "What are we going to do... about this baby.." She asks with a quiet tone. I sigh. "I don't know.." I say, looking away from her. To be honest I didn't want the thing. It wasn't mine why should I take care of it. But this was about more than me not wanting the kid. Kendall was having this child. Even if it isn't mine, I should try for her. "You'd never love it.. would you..." She places her hand against her stomach as she says this. I sit up and turn away from her, putting my head in my hands. She was right. I may never love the child inside her. I stand and look at her as she sits up. "I don't know Kendall.. you know how it is.. I'm already fighting my wolf who wants it dead.... I'd never kill a child.. but you have to understand how difficult this is for me. You want to keep a child that isn't mine, and I'm your mate. I understand why you may want it.. but that doesn't mean I could ever accept the fact that it will never be mine." As I say this I instantly regret it. I see tears in her eyes. I mentally punch myself in the face. Why'd I have to sound like such a jerk? I sit back on the bed and pull her onto my lap. "I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to upset you." I say softly. "I don't know what to do." She cries against me. I run my fingers through her hair and it seemed to calm her. "Don't worry about it right now kitten." I say softly as I hug her tight. I hated seeing her cry. So I just sat there with her in my arms, whispering that everything was going to work out and be ok.
