Alyona:

"You didn't know this?" He raised his brows.

I shook my head slowly.

"Those novels you read. It's not mentioned in them?" He looked confused. Like, I should have known.

"I... I... They didn't. They never mention, that it's considered as an engagement." I was beyond bewildered.

"I will try to control myself and not mark you, until you're ready." He told me firmly.

"Try to control yourself?" I burst out. What control himself?

He nodded. "I'm sure you know that, it's very difficult for me to control my wolf from marking you. Because, I was supposed to mark you the moment, I inhale your scent and lay my eyes on you."

I frowned. Getting mad and threw my hands in the air. "I had no idea. No-one ever told me about this. No-one even gave me a slightest idea."

He nodded. "Oh. I think, those novels you read ain't that accurate."

I rolled my eyes. "I didn't even know Werewolves exist till last week. And, I didn't even know, I was your mate till today morning.

He bowed his head. Looking guilty. "I know. I should have told you."

I calmed down but still had my frown. "You said you were supposed to mark me right when we met. Then why didn't you?"

His head shot up. "Your Grandma resisted me. And, then Silvano told me I should give you time and charm you. As you're a human."

I tilted my head. Curious. "You could have told me. Explained it to me. Maybe I would have agreed for marking."

His face changed in to a full blown grin. "You mean you're ready now."

I'm sure, I looked like, a kid caught stealing a cookie from a cookie jar. "I.... I..... I didn't mean that.

"Then, what did you mean?" He tilted his head. With a smirk on his face. God. That smirk.

I folded my arms over my chest. "I need not tell you that." I pushed my chin in the air and turned to leave.

He grabbed hold of my wrist and pulled me to his chest in one swift moment, and caged me in his arms.

I couldn't even register what was happening.

He bent and moved my hair from the right side of my neck and moved his face towards my neck. "If only you knew, how I feel. How my wolf itches and pushes me to mark you."

His breath was fanning my neck. Sending tiny sparks. And, his arms around me sending huge sparks.

It felt like, I'm in heaven. I didn't want him to let go of me. I was frozen in the spot. Afraid to speak. Afraid to move. That he might let go if I do.

"The smart mouth has no words left now?" He mocked me. He mocked me? How dare he?

But, I still didn't respond. I didn't even move a muscle.
