"If I told you, you wouldn't look at me the same way." Dmitri smiles humourlessly at me.
I prop myself up on my elbows to look up at him on a raised brow.
"Try me." I goad.
Dmitri sighs, his eyes darkening slightly as he delves into his darkest memories.
"My pack was attacked by a group of Werewolf and Vampire rogues who didn't like my father for not letting a few of them cross his territory. They worked with some witches to infiltrate their way in without being sensed and I watched my pack and family die."
I stifle the urge to make a shocked sound and silently encourage my mate to continue; feeling a little insensitive for making him visit his horrid past but it was the only way that would help me understand why he was like this.
"We fought with all our might and after I was the only one left standing, somehow I had managed to keep them from killing me, but I was weakened from trying and failing to protect my pack which resulted in one of the rogue vampires biting me."
I sit up instantly.
"In wolf form?" I whisper, my eyes widening in saucers.
Dmitri nods and lifts his shirt up, revealing a couple puncture scars along his side; they hadn't bitten him just once.
"How are you alive?" I lean back, taking in the extent of how much pain my mate had actually gone through.
Werewolves rarely survive vampire bites, the venom burns right through our veins in less than five minutes. Dmitri was able to survive, somehow, multiple venomous vampire bites along with the grief of his whole pack being slaughtered.
"I don't know but it's caused me to have two wolves inside me."
Two? How is that even possible?
Dmitri brings me close towards him and I duck my head under his chin, realising that he needed my reassurance that I would stay with him no matter what.
"I have a wolf just like every other Werewolf but my other wolf comes out after the full moon and...it's a monster, I have to be locked away whenever it comes out because I can't control it." He continues.
I blink a couple of times, remembering the nightmares that I would always have after full moons; they always consisted of the same ravenous monster wolf with red eyes, chasing me and always catching me.
"Does it have red eyes and black fur?" I blurt, my brain sieve malfunctioning.
I feel Dmitri freeze and I do the same, waiting for his reply as my breathing quickens.
"How do you know?"
He lifts me up so that I'm sat on his lap, our faces inches away from each other
"I have nightmares of a wolf with red eyes and jet black fur, chasing me and always catching me." I answer on a whisper, feeling a tremor run through me.
Dmitri sits up suddenly, picking me up with him and places his hands on either side of my face; his bright eyes staring into my soul before kissing my forehead.
"I don't know what your nightmares mean but the wolf that chases you is what's inside me. I won't let anyone, not even myself, hurt you angel." He vows.
For some reason, I didn't hold back from believing in the conviction behind his words. From remembering the time when I first saw him, the memory was fuzzy but I could remember the silver eyes and quiet nature.
Dmitri wouldn't hurt me.
"Just promise me that you won't make me do that whole 'mating in front of the pack' thing." I say as I stand from his lap.
Dmitri grabs the back of my thigh and pulls me close, placing his lips against the skin that was showing above the waist band of my jeans. An intense, hot tingly feeling shoots straight to my crotch making me gasp out loud.
"I promise." He whispers, unbuttoning my jeans and looking up at me and he slowly slides them down.
What is he doing?
My legs, with a mind of its own, step out of the jeans before Dmitri leans in again and surprises me by brushing his lips along my inner thigh; I place my hand on his shoulder as I feel my knees turning into jelly and he pulls me down onto his lap again.
"What're you d-doing?" I stammer, when I'm placed on the bed suddenly and my mate is poised right above me.
~Take him! What are we waiting for!~ My wolf pleads.
"Enjoying my mate after a very long time without her, I've missed you, angel." Dmitri murmurs against my neck, causing shivers to go down my spine.
My words evaporate from my mouth when I find my jacket and top joining my jeans on the floor, Dmitri's breaths turning ragged as I feel his sharp wolf teeth grazing along my neck.
Has he finally decided to seal our bond and bite me?
My arms go around him as I grip onto his thin grey sweater under my hands, my leg locking around his hips as I feel his hardness rock against me.
Dmitri's hand glides over my thighs, slowing moving up my waist and over my ribs just before his fingers meet my dark blue bra.
"You're one beautiful creature, angel." He sighs, carefully pushing my strap over my shoulders.
Soon enough, my lips meet his and I forget about the past year, I forget how mad I was at him and how I was mad that I was tricked into thinking that I was an omega; the thought of my parents' death was now only a dull pain when with Dmitri.
He made everything much better.
Every time my heat would come, it would remind me how much I missed him and how much I actually needed him despite my claims that I could survive without him.
Dmitri's teeth catch my bottom lip and my hands reach under his sweater, loving the feel of his strong muscled back over smooth skin... skin that was feeling colder than usual.
I break away from the kiss and press my hands against his back a little more.
Looking up at him in confusion, Dmitri reaches for his sweater and pulls it over his head, turning around and letting me see the two wolves split by a long sword.
"This tattoo is bound with magic, it helps me keep in more control of the monster inside me." He answers my unspoken question.
"It's beautiful." I murmur, reaching out and pressing my palms against his shoulder blades.
Dmitri turns to face me and I press myself against him, feeling his rough hands brushing along the back of my bra.
"Let me take you." He whispers into my ear, rendering me helpless against his touch.
~Say yes!~ my wolf howls.
Suddenly, reality comes crashing down on us as I hear the door knock. I jump back and press the pillow against my chest, feeling my cheeks redden as they heat up when Dmitri moves off the bed on a feral snarl.
"What?" he growls, opening the door a crack so as to not see me half naked on the bed.
"I'm sorry to interrupt, Alpha, but it couldn't wait." I hear Logan say in a rushed tone.
Dmitri slams the door closed, murmuring more growls as he puts his shirt back on and leans in to kiss my forehead.
"Rest, I'll be back when you wake up." He gives me a small smile before walking out.
I flop back on the bed, feeling hot and cold at the same time; Dmitri's touch left me wanting more but he also left me hanging.
Covering my sensitive body with the silk sheets, I close my eyes and try to relax.
