Abused Luna and Vicious Alpha

Nine: Marked

Recap:
I started to walk to the door to leave when it slammed shut. I turned around to be pushed up on the wall. As an instinct, I wrapped my legs around Zachary's waist. His arms were on my sides to keep me from moving. His eyes flickered from their normal green color to black which meant his wolf is surfacing. I was afraid that he was going to beat me so I closed my eyes. Then he did the least expected. He kissed me.

Scarlet's Pov:

I was stunned for a seconded, then Crystal shouted at me. 'Kiss back you idiot!' I kissed back and almost moaned because of how the sparks felt. I grabbed his hair and he kissed harder. Then we finally parted for breath. "That's how you know I'm going to stay with you. I have never dated anyone before so I can have my first everything with my mate. I don't expect you to too because of what position you were in before. Just know that I don't care about your past and I want to be with you from the present to the future." Zachary said.

"But if only I didn't kill my parents, then I might have been able to do the same for you." I said with a tear slipping from my eye. Zachary wiped it away. "Don't say that. You were so young then. No one at that age could have killed anyone. It was and never will be your fault." Zachary said. I was about to protest but he attacked my lips again.

I moaned as he slipped his tongue in and I could tell his wolf was close to the surface. He broke the kiss on my lips but kissed my neck instead. I moaned and closed my eyes as he found my sweet spot, which is where the scar is. "I can mark you?" Zachary asked in a deeper voice than usual, meaning his wolf was surfacing. "Yes." I said.

He sucked and kissed that spot one more time before he bit down. I choked a screamed and then moaned at how it felt. He licked the spot and carried me to the bed. "You're going to be tired from that so sleep." He said and I fell asleep in his arms.

The next morning I woke up confused. 'Why am I in his arms?' I thought. 'He marked us.' Crystal said. I got up and went into the bathroom to see what it looked like. It was two wolves howling at the moon. I smiled and got dressed in a tank top and a pair of shorts. Then I braided my hair to my right so my mark would show. I looked in the mirror and smiled. The scar was gone. Then I saw Zachary walk in behind me.

"Hello." I said. "You scared me again Scarlet." He said. "You know I wake up early." I said. "Yes I do but I thought you would sleep in today." He said. "How about this, I'll go make us breakfast and we can have a stay at home day." I said. "Sounds good to me." He said and I smiled. Now I knew that he cared for me, and I know I care for him without a doubt now.

That day we spent all day watching movies and learning more about each other. Then he asked me a question. "Would you like to go on a date with me?" I looked at him and thought for a second. "I would love to." I said and he smiled. "When?" I asked. "How about tomorrow?" He said and I nodded, smiling. Then he smiled too. "Will you tell me where we're going?" I asked. "It's a surprise." He said.

"A surprise? Well that doesn't help with the outfit?" Miranda said. We were digging through my clothes trying to figure out what I should wear. "I could always just wear a dress and have shorts underneath. Then I could have a shirt in my bag for if I'm over dressed." I suggested. "I'm going to call him." Miranda said as she pulled out her phone.

"Um yes this is Miranda. I'm not asking for a location or the plans, all I want to know is how fancy or casual she should dress. What do you mean who, your mate. Of course she told me, I'm helping her get ready. Okay thanks." Miranda said before ending the call. "What did he say?" I asked.

"Something not too formal but still a bit fancy." She said. "So a dress?" I asked and she nodded. "How about the one I wore for the ceremony?" "No, we need something that he didn't see yet." Miranda said. She dug through my closest until she pulled something out. "Now this is perfect." She said. It was a light purple dress that went down to my knees, had a brown braided belt, and was short, ruffled shelves.

"Okay." I said, trusting her choice. "And you can have a white sweater in case you get cold." She said. "Sounds good to me." I said, grabbing it from her. I went into the bathroom to change. I looked in the mirror and smiled before walking out. "Perfect. I found these white flats too. Now sit down and I'll get started on your hair and makeup." Miranda said and I sat in the chair.

I let her work her magic then she spun me so I faced the mirror. "Wow Miranda, are you sure you aren't a magician?" I asked, amazed at how I looked. "Well I'm no David Copperfield but I can work a little magic." She said. "Well am I done?" I asked. "No, we still have to accessorize." Miranda had before rushing off to get something.

She came back with a silver bracelet, a silver necklace with a white flower, and a white purse. "Now you're ready." She said. I stood up and walked downstairs where Zachary was waiting. "You look beautiful." He said reaching out his hand. "Thanks." I said, slightly blushing before taking his hand. He was wearing dress pants and a white shirt with a blue tie, and let's just say he was rocking it. "You ready to go?" He asked and I nodded.
