The Mark Of The Immortal

Chapter 9

It has been a week since the little accident and still no attacks on the pack. I was worried that they were going to attack at night and stayed up four nights but nothing. They always say that there is a calm before a storm. Was this the calm or had they finally given up? I had my security measures in case. A knife everywhere I could put one. Derick thought that it was pointless for me to have a knife but Mia argued the reasons why I should have one and he succumbed.

He and I were having breakfast trying to ignore the tug that the mating bond had on us. Since our last hanky panky session last week, where he saw my struggles and his mother we haven't kissed or anything. I tell myself that he is just stressed and that works for me. We had cuddled a couple times but that was how far our intimacy went.

We had finished our omelets that he had prepared for us. I watched as he placed his dish in the sink and pretended to read the newspaper. He has been on that page since I sat down. I wonder if he thinks I'm dirty because he saw all those other men kissing on me. He probably does and now I feel it too. The mark stung and I massaged it absentmindedly. I felt a warm hand on my back and I looked up and he was looking down at me with a smile.

"It's okay." He leaned down and kissed me passionately our lips molding each other and our tongues battling. He took me off the chair and pulled me up to him and a wrapped my legs around him. I felt like I was going die if I didn't have more, he moved his lips down to my neck kissing and suckling on the flesh.

I clawed at his back ripping away his shirt. I had no idea what I was doing but everything felt right. I nipped his neck and kissed it hard I heard him swear under his breath. My legs still wrapped around him I moved one of my hands down to his chest where I felt his ripped abs come to play. My hand continued its journey until it was at the waist of his pants. I undid his belt and slid it from the loops, while doing this we were still kissing. I dropped the belt on the floor and then I opened the pants button and slid down his zip.

"You know this house has bedrooms." We hadn't realized that someone had come in. He groaned and we pulled apart. He placed me back in the chair then fixed himself.

"You don't live here." He hissed at Mia who was drinking the orange juice I hadn't finished.

"And?" she question.

"What are you doing here?" He snapped but she just sat there staring at him blankly.

"I need money." She put down the now empty glass.

"Why?" He asked.

"Because I want to go shopping I'm tired of staying in the territory." She whined.

"No." he shook his head. "That's not a good idea." He looped his belt in his pants.

"Oh god please I can take care of myself." She said.

"Still no." he said and walked away. I looked at his back he hand two wings tattooed on it.

"You're a dick!" She yelled.

He peeped around the corner. "Oh well." Then walked away again. I liked hearing them bicker it was funny.

"That's your man." She smiled at me. "Hey want to come over my house?" She asked but she had other plans I saw the mischief in her eyes. I was about to shake my head no. "Before you say no I just to spend some time with my sister." It sounded genuine but I knew better and looked at her suspiciously. "Fine I'm going into town whether you guys like it or not." She shrugged. "Please come with me we could bring guards." She said trying to persuade me. She was going to go even if I said no because Mia is stubborn, guards will be there so we'll be okay so I guess it's okay.

I shook my head yes and she squealed. "You are the best." She hugged me almost breaking my bones. "Come on let's go." She grabbed me I wasn't even in proper attire to go to the mall. I was in sweatpants, a pink "hello kitty" blouse and flip flops. She dragged me through the door and to her car. We slid in and we were on our way.

Minutes later we were at the mall and she lied there were no guards accompanying us. The mall was huge but the first thing Mia wanted to do was shop for swim wear. I sat in the couch the store had provided and watched as she came out modeling each swim wear. She bought like a hundred different kind of swim wear. Our next store were jeans and I walked and looked around and the different jeans brand and the ludicrous prices.

"Polly, how does this one look?" She asked turning around so I could give thumbs up or thumbs down on her short shorts. They looked breezy and easy to move in so I gave her a thumbs up. "I thought so too." She went back into the dressing room with all her jeans shorts, pants and skirts in her hand.

I had gotten a few things too well actually two things two pair of pants. We put the bags in the back of the car but as we walked back to the mall she stiffened. "Someone is watching us." She whispered. "Act like you don't realize." She said again as we made our way to the food court.

"Hey Mia long time no tease." A man that looked like he was forty walked up to us as we picked up food and paid for.

"Ugh..." she brushed him off as we walked over to an empty booth.

"Come on Mia don't act so mean." He slid in beside her.

"Can't you see that I am busy?" She snapped at him.

"Who's your friend?" he smiled at me and I looked away.

"Her name is not." She wanted him to move, she tried pushing him out but he was too big.

"Not what?" He asked winking at me and I shivered in disgust.

"Not interested." She snapped. "Now will you leave?" She continued pushing him. My hand was under the table itching to reach for the knife if things went south.

"No I want to talk to your friend here." He continued smiling at me but my face showed no form of emotion. He took in a deep breath then smiled. "Ah you're marked but you're still a virgin." He licked his lips. "Beautiful just like I like them." He moved his hand to touch mine but I moved it away.

"Leave her alone." She sounded frustrated.

"No I want her." He grabbed my hand and I took out my knife and stabbed him in his hand. People were looking at the display and gasped and the knife in his hand. He yelled in pain and no sooner did some other goons appear. Just great. I have been itching for a fight for some time now. He stood from the booth holding his hand. "I want them." He pointed to us and they moved forward.

Mia stood beside me and it would be a great time for her to wolf out or something, but nothing. She sprouted wings. Well that's not what I expected. "Listen I don't want to have to hurt you guys." Her smile was mischievous. "Then again I'm down for whatever." They rushed towards us and the food court cleared, one lunged at me he looked so young but he showed his fangs. Hell no. He tackled me to the ground and I brought my knife in his side twisting it and watching as he squirmed in pain. I stood up Mia was handling them but more kept coming.

They continued tackling us but we were killing them but that wasn't enough because some that were killed were rising again and the blade wasn't sharp enough to sever their heads. I had a nasty bruise and cut on my face and I was tried.

"Hey Polly, how about we retreat? This is getting rather boring." She said and I nodded. She held me close and we flew over the balcony. She landed a few metres from the car and we began running for it. Her wings had disappeared as we ran but something big and pungent. "Shit! Run faster!" She yelled and I did but something grabbed me and stopped.

"You're mine now." He whispered in my ear and he need a breath mint the size of a biscuit. Evil men always believe that I am theirs. "We are going to have so much fun." He snickered. He bent my hand behind me and I dropped the knife. The cut on the side of my cheek was bleeding and he brought his lips to the side of my face. I pressed my cheek hard in his face rubbing the blood all over him. Have fun you twat.

His grip loosened and I watched him fall to the floor in pain his face burning away. That's new. Mia came up beside me and kicked him in the nuts.

"Pussy." She spit on him. "Let's go. Derick is going to kill me." She sighed about to touch my cheek but I moved away and smiled and we walked back to the car and drove away like nothing happened.
