'Regret'
Part two
"Aris," I said. He only lifted his head up slightly. I slid off the bed and knelt in front of him, so we were equal. "What does marking me mean? What will it change?"
"You'll start to feel things as I do." He told me. "Our connection will be more intense for you." He finally looked me in my eyes again. I wanted to say something to him, something that will make him feel better, but I came up blank.
"Other wolves now know that you are mine too." He explained. "They'll sense I am powerful, so they won't harm you."
"I don't see anything bad about it then." I said. Sure, I didn't like the idea that I am a walking advertisement for his strength, but if the goal was to keep me safe, it could come in handy.
"I shouldn't have done it until you were turned." He said. Me turning into a werewolf was a subject we avoided at all cost. It was something I did not want, and could not see myself ever wanting. I had spend my life hating them, I could never forgive myself if I willingly let him turn me. "It is too dangerous, you are not supposed to feel our bond so strongly as a human."
"I feel fine, Aris." I lied. Every joint hurt when I moved, not to mention the throbbing pain that was still coming from my neck.
"I know when you're lying." He said to me. "I can feel your pain."
"And I can still feel yours." I said, shuffling closer to him and holding his hands in mine. "I am not angry that you marked me, and the pain will soon fade."
"You are not angry because I marked you." He said to me, though he didn't lean away. "It changes you. Before, you didn't want to touch me or be near me, now-"
I cut him off. "Might I remind you what we were doing when you marked me." I sternly told him. "I wanted to take things slow so we have a chance of living a happy life, without fighting each other. I wanted to touch you."
Aris didn't have anything to say to that. His eyes switched between mine and the bandage around my neck. "Come on." He said. I could literally feel him putting his feelings aside. We both rose to our feet. He put his arm around me so I could lean on him and escorted me back to my own room.
