Beastly (on hold)

Chapter 9:

Zayn's POV:

After a while of a comfortable silence Rachel began to lightly hum.

"You wanna know something?" She quietly asked.

"Um sure" I hesitantly said.

"I can't help but feel as if my mother or prospective mother rather and my father granted he's my real father, aren't even mates" she gushed.

"What makes you think that?" I inquired.

"My father doesn't feel departed from her and she doesn't try to contact me." She said as a tear slipped her eye.

"Baby don't cry" I cooed while pulling her close and wiping away her tears.

"I promise I'll look into it" I reassuringly said.

"Ok" she hiccuped.

"There's something I need to tell you and this will either tear us apart or draw us closer." I said shakily.

"What is it?" She asked curiously.

"You know how I get really angry?" I asked.

"Yeah. What about it?" She asked nervously.

"Well there's a reason for that" I began.

"Yeah I know" she said matter of factly.

"Really?" I inquired.

"Yeah. Um those dreams I was having. They uh were kinda messages from the sun goddess." She gushed.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I inquired.

"Because I was sworn to secrecy but seeing as you already know what I know, it's not a big deal" she admitted.

We continued on sauntering in a comfortable silence.

"When I was a kid" I began. "I would observe my parents. Back then they had an undeniable love for each other. When ever I saw them together I knew that that's what I wanted." I whispered.

"I've always dreamed of having a bond so strong with my mate that nothing could separate us" rachel said while blushing.

"I um I uh" I stuttered.

"Just say it" Rachel encouraged.

"I'm not good at this kind of stuff" I stated as we approached the garden. "But um well were here. Do you like it?" I hesitantly asked.

She remained silent. Her eyes enlarged as she allowed the two spectacles to roam about. She twirled around. Before she could respond she started dashing towards a rose bush. It's funny how out of all the things she could have noticed the first thing she saw was a ruby red rose bush. But it wasn't an ordinary rose bush. No. This was an enchanted bush. There was one single rose that was unlike the rest. It was as black as 12:01 am. Blacker than the night sky. She slowly approached the single flower and cupped her hands around it.

"It's beautiful" she whispered.

I was tempted to respond in a very cliché way and say 'your beautiful' but I held it in. I walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her waist pulling her flush against my ventral side.

"Dance with me?" I lowly asked while nipping lightly at her ear.

"But there's no music" she acknowledged.

"Ah but there is. Listen closely." I quietly said.

We stood quietly as some members of my back began to play soft music. They were far enough away to give us privacy but close enough for us to hear the music. I took Rachel's right hand in my left and placed her left upon my shoulder while my right was placed lightly on her waist. We began to slowly waltz around the garden. Slowly she moved both her arms around my neck and mine were firmly yet softly placed around her waist. She placed her head on my chest and I held her close as we slow danced to the music. The sun was beginning to set so i turned her around in my arms so that we could admire the sun setting and moon rising together.

"Princess" I whispered huskily in her ear.

"Yes" she whispered back.

I pulled out the small black box. But she didn't notice.

"The goddesses truly work wonders" I said as I gaped over the beauty in my arms. She turned her gaze up to my face and smiled warmly. This girl will be my undoing. I can't get enough of her.

"Yeah they really do" she softly agreed.

I opened the ring box and took her hand in mine. I slipped the ring on her finger earning a gasp from her.

"Zayn....." She whispered in shock as she trailed off at a loss for words.

"I promise to be loyal and true. I promise to put you first. I promise to love you as the princess you are. I promise to have you and only you as the center of my universe. You're my reason for breathing and I know I've done wrong many times but I promise to be honest and true. I want you in my life for an eternity. I want to wake up with you lightly sleeping in the comfort and safety of my arms. And I want the world to know your mine and that you're the only person I love." I whispered sincerely to her.

"Then say it to the world. Tell the world how much you care" she whispered to me.

I leaned in really close to her and got near her ear.

"I love you more than words can describe. You're my reason for life and breathing" I whispered in her ear.

"Why did you only whisper that to me?" She asked.

"Because you are my world" I said while admiring the pleased look on her beautiful face. She took charge and leaned in placing a soft but needy kiss to my lips. I took charge and ran my tongue across her lower lip signaling for her to open her mouth to allow me access. She did as requested and we allowed our tongues to battle for dominance. Mine quickly won. I held her tighter in my arms and continued to delicately kiss her.

"Zayn" she moaned.

"Yes boo?" I grunted.

"I'm ready" she whispered.

I knew what she meant. She was ready to complete the mating bond. Shocked at her words I pulled back to scan her face searching for any sign of apprehension. I found none.

"Are you sure because I am willing to wait if y-" I started but she cut me off with a kiss.

"Babe stop talking. I'm ready" she commanded using her alpha female tone. It was getting me really turned on. Hearing the demand and need in my mates voice was sending my wolf over edge. I could feel my eyes shifting color. They were no longer the chocolate brown I had been accustomed to my entire life. Nor were they a lustful black. This was a new color. They were silver. And my mates. Hers were golden. She truly was a reflection of the sun goddess herself.

"Well then what are we waiting for" I huskily said.

I took Rachel's hand in mine and lead her back in the direction of the pack house. Instead of going in, however, I took her to a small cabin not to distant. Regular wolves were loud when they mated for the first time and alphas. Well we were about thirty times louder. I guided Rachel into the cabin and locked the door behind us. My wolf completely took over and I lost all control.

"Strip! I want you in nothing but your bra and panties when I walk back in here" I commanded.
