The Wolf Made Of Fire

Chapter 4

William is doing some work on his laptop as I draw, sitting to him. I'm not even paying attention to what I'm drawing, just letting my hand move on it's own. I hear a low growl next to me, making me snap my head to see why William is growling. I notice him staring in the direction of my drawing.

"Who is that?" He asks through his teeth. "Who?" I ask, confused. He points to my drawing causing to realize at that moment what I drew...

"Reilly." I state, holding back the tears.

"Why are you drawing a guy that isn't me?" He asks, jealousy clear in his voice.

The tears start streaming down my face. "That's my brother. We're twins. Um, Reilly died when we were 16 and went looking for our mates. We left together and got attacked by rogues. One had it's jaw around my neck. Reilly's power was Earth. He split the ground, as he was being attacked by 5 rogues at once and he ran with the all on top of him and jumped, causing the rogue around my neck to fall into the hole, taking Reilly and the other 5 rogues with him." I explained, my voice cracking numerous times. William's eyes softened and he hugged me. "I'm so sorry I got jealous, I just couldn't help it, I saw you drawing a picture of a guy I don't know and I got possessive. I'm sorry." He apologized.

"It's okay, you didn't know." I respond, pulling of the hug and looking him in the eyes, instantly getting lost in them. I don't mean to, but I feel myself moving closer, and I notice William leaning closer to me. We slowly inch closer to each other. I begin to feel his breath fanning my lips and my eyes flutter closed. Just as our lips brush, there's a knock on the office door. William growls and yells "What?!" through his teeth. "Sir, there was a witch trespassing, we put her in the non magic cell." My eyes widen at the words the guard spoke. One word goes through my head at that moment. Jeanette. A groan leaves William's mouth. "I'll be down there in a minute." He informs the guard. Footsteps walking away are heard. "Can I go with? I can read minds and know if what they say is true." I suggest. "Sure." He says, standing up. I grin and take my index finger and curl it as to say come here. He bends down, expecting me to kiss his lips, but instead, I leave a soft kiss on his cheek and walk out of the office. He leads me to the dungeon and once I reach the door, I can hear a female's thoughts. William opens the door and immediately Jeanette's scent enters my nostrils. "Jeanette!" I yell. "Luna?" She questions out of pure shock. "What are you doing here?" She asks. "You crazy red head, I found my mate." I giggle. "Really? Who? Do I know him? Is he the guy who put me in here?" She babbles.

"No, he's the guy who is going to let you out." I state, William coming out of the shadows. I turn to him, "She's no harm, she was just looking for me to make sure I'm okay." I tell him and he looks me in the eyes to make sure I'm serious or something and then he unlocks her cell, letting her out. She steps out of the cell and bows before William, thanks him, then turns to me. "So who's your mate, can I meet him?" She asks, bouncing up and down. All of a sudden, I feel arms snake around my waist from behind, I was about to scream until I felt the sparks, a sign that they're William's arms. Then I felt soft lips against my cheek. "This is my mate." I smile, Jeanette's eyes going wide and then a grin stretching across her face. "I'm so happy for both of you!" She says and then she lets out an ear piercing squeal that makes William release a deep groan in my ear. "Jeanette, what have I told you about squealing? It may not harm your ears but it harms every werewolf's ears." I remind her. "Sorry, I'm just so happy you found your mate, both of you. Did Reilly find his?" My eyes begin to water at her question.
"Reilly died a couple months ago, we were attacked by rogues and he split the ground and jumped to get the rogue off my neck before it killed me and he fell in the hole with all the rogues. The hole went to the center of the earth." I told her, William squeezing my hand in reassurance. I try to get out of William's grip, but his grip tightens. "William, let go, witches can't tell is someone is their mate but they can feel the love. Reilly wasn't 16 yet so he didn't know, Jeanette wasn't there when he turned 16 and we left. So he couldn't sense that she's his mate. He went off, she came back and heard that he had left to search so she went looking for him to tell him they're mates because she can sense what creature her mate is and if they're near. If they're werewolf, she can tell if they turned 16 yet." I explain as Jeanette falls to her knees, her eyes filling with tears. William releases me and I go to comfort Jeanette.

A couple of hours later...

We are sitting in William's office (him in his desk chair and me sitting on the arm of the chair with his arm around me). We have been talking (William, Jeanette, and I) and we decided that as Jeanette has lost her mate, and she has been assigned as the Ancelet Witch (my family's personal witch) she could live here with us and help us out.

William and Jeanette are talking and I am entirely zoned out. I feel a kiss right below my ear and a gentle nibble on my earlobe. I growl in anger from being interrupted from my thoughts. "May I help you?" I snap. "I asked you to show Jeanette to the kitchen so she can eat." William says. I lean close to his ear and whisper. "We need to talk later."

He nods and then I stand walking to the end of the desk and then seeing something. The drawing of Reilly. I pick it up and walk to Jeanette. "I think you should have this." I say and hand her the drawing. "I can't take this, this is your work." She says. "I insist, I understand how you must feel and this might help you cope a little bit." I respond. She takes it from my hand and smiles and thanks me. I lead her to the kitchen and ask Laura to help her find something to eat.

1 hour later...

"You haven't even kissed me and you're already trying to kiss my neck and get sexual with me!" I yell at William.

"I wasn't kissing you neck." He responds.

"Oh! Sorry! Ear! Big difference! Still! I do not want you marking me before you've even kissed me!" I exclaim.

"I wasn't going to mark you. Especially not in the presence of another person. I was just trying to get your attention!" He slightly raises his voice.

"Good job doing so because you also angered me!" I yell. I'm positive that by now my eyes are a blood red.

He slowly steps closer to me, making sure I'm not going to shift and bite his head off. When he realizes I wasn't going to, he wraps his arms around me. "You're hot when you're angry." He whispers in my ear, which I grow at and push him away from me.

"Again, trying to get sexual already!" I yell, my eyes turning an even darker red. He comes back up to me (slowly and cautiously) and stares into my eyes. He slowly inches closer. I feel his hot breath fan my face as he comes closer. My eyes flutter closed and our lips brush together making me gasp and move back slightly, out of shock at how soft his lips are. From a distance, they look rough, but they're surprisingly extremely soft. He softly kisses my lips as I am frozen in my place, asking myself what to do as William is my first kiss. I have been taught to not even look at anyone until I have my mate and my mate should be my first everything. Kiss back Luna! My wolf Lizabel yells in my head. I slowly start to move my lips in sync with William's lips. It's a slow and sweet kiss until he pulls away.
"Please don't be mad at me, I don't like when you're mad at me, although it is hot when you're mad at other people." He whispers. My eyes flutter back open and he smiles. "There's those pretty blue eyes." He says, making me blush.
