Ravaged Wolf

Chapter 22

Before I could even walk away from the office, the door opens and Dmitri grabs my forearm. I flinch and turn to see him frowning slightly.

"What happened to you?" I ask. Dmitri shakes his head slowly and turns me around fully to face him.

"You don't need to know right now, angel."

My brows furrow and twist my lips to the side, telling me things like that would make me more curious.

Curious to wonder why Dmitri almost triggered a deep memory inside me but not enough for me to remember, he just looked familiar.

"Are you sure we're never met before?" I ask, tilting my head to the side as I grow more inquisitive.

Dmitri raises a brow and says nothing as he nudges me to follow him.

What was that supposed to mean?

He opens the front door for me and grabs my hand as we walk through the territory. We suddenly stop at the opening of the forest and I peer through the tall moss covered trees, hiding behind the almost dead skeleton trees.

I shiver briefly remembering my nightmares and turn to face Dmitri.

"I want to shift with you." He murmurs, placing a hand on my cheek before stepping back.

I gulp when Dmitri removes his black shirt, revealing the tanned built torso and making it harder for me to concentrate. He glances at me briefly before taking a couple steps back and shifts into a dark chocolate brown wolf, twice the size of my wolf.

~Mate!~ my wolf growls.

Dmitri's wolf was just as handsome as him. He steps forward and nudges my hand with his wet nose. I sink my fingers through the fur along his neck and he closes his sliver eyes briefly. Hearing my wolf's plea, I quickly run a shaky hand through my hair before shifting. As soon as my four paws hit the ground, my wolf is tackled to the ground by Dmitri and she responds by grazing her teeth along his ear playfully. Dmitri growls gently before leaping up and dashing off further into the forest; my wolf yelps and gets up to follow her mate.

It almost felt easier to be with Dmitri this way, where we couldn't talk and out wolves wanted nothing but each other; no questions asked or doubts.

Dmitri's wolf quickly finds pray and impressively brings it down, locking his teeth around the deer's neck killing it instantly. He drags the dead pray by his teeth to my wolf's side and presents it to me, letting me take the first bite; an act that only mates did. My wolf readily eats to satisfaction, leaving enough for her mate as she steps back and watches him devour the rest.

As soon as Dmitri finishes and nears me, nuzzling into my neck as somehow we end up on the ground, with Dmitri on top of me. Before I or my wolf could protest, he sinks his razor sharp teeth into my wolf's neck, sealing the wolf side of our mate bond. Unable to resist the unavoidable intense pleasure that quickly followed after the bite, my wolf howls and attempts to bite her mate back but Dmitri keeps a tight hold and growls into my wolf's neck.

I just hope nobody walks into this very private moment.

Dmitri finally climbs off and I take control of my wolf and shift before she could do anything drastic. Tucking my knees up to my chest as I stay sat on the cold ground, I scowl up at Dmitri.

"How dare you bite my wolf without telling me?" I demand, turning away when Dmitri starts to shift also.

As much as my wolf enjoyed the intense feeling that spread from her neck all around her body, it wasn't something I was expecting or wanting... straight away.

"Angel, I'm your mate. What do you expect me to do?" Dmitri's voice was low and calm.

I flinch away when I sense him near me, conscious of my naked body before him; already the bite already taking affect.

How much more intense will it be if Dmitri bites me in human form?

"Being you r mate doesn't mean anything." I frown.

Suddenly, I'm pulled up and backed up against a tree trunk, Dmitri snarls inches away from my face as his fist connects with the tree and I flinch from the shaky impact.

~Shouldn't have said that~

I cross my arms over my naked chest and scrunch my eyes closed, not wanting to see things that I couldn't unsee.

"Being your mate means everything to me; I didn't wait over a decade for nothing." Dmitri's grey eyes brighten for a moment.

"How old are you?" I ask quietly, still keeping my eyes shut.

There is a moment of silence before I feel his forehead touch mine.

"Three hundred long years." He murmurs.

My eyes fly open as a shocked gasp escapes my lips.

"You're old!"

Dmitri's eyes narrow into slits and I wince, ducking under his outstretched arm and covering my boobs as I head back. Why was I mated to someone who has the age to be my ancestor?

"If anybody's eyes other than mine fall on your naked body, I will not hesitate to kill them." He warns, a hard edge to his stern voice.

"Bastard." I growl through clenched teeth.

I shift once again and run to Dmitri's house, shifting back just as the door closes behind me. Racing to my wardrobe, I throw a knit jumper and jeans on the bed before rushing into the shower, my cheeks burning from being seen naked by Dmitri. The last time I was naked in front of someone was my mom when I was seven.

Mom... I missed her.

How the hell did my parents and my mate ever cross paths? What if it was Dmitri who had my parents killed because they wouldn't let him take me?

My hands starts to shake and I'm forced to get out of the shower, pacing the room as soon as I'm dressed and ideas flying around in my head.

My wolf refused to believe that our mate was the one who arranged my parent's death but who else would want them dead?

Flopping down on the bed facedown, I try to ignore the continuous pull my wolf had towards her mate as I decide whether to give Dmitri a chance or not.

A/N: What do you guys think? Should Cass give Dmitri a chance and let him in? Comment Below x
