**Luca's Pov.**

When I woke up, I still felt tired.
Did that make sense?
How long was I asleep?
I looked around to find myself in the room I slept in at Chrys's apartment.
Sitting up I ran a hand through my hair.
It felt gross and stiff.
What time was it?
My eyes fell onto the clock that read four-fifty eight pm.

"Jesus.." I murmured sliding out of bed.
I walked into the bathroom with fresh clothes, I wasn't sure if anyone changed my clothes.
Which I'd prefer if no one had.

Turning on the water I was indicating I was up whether or not Chrys was here.
Maybe she was at work.
Thanksgiving break was almost over as well.
And I spent the majority of it sleeping.

The water felt nice as I stood under the shower head, I didn't want to leave the shower after getting in.
It felt nice.

When I got out I dressed myself before leaving the comforts of the warm bathroom.
Walking down the hall I stopped at the living room with wide eyes.

Everyone was there looking my way with shocked expressions.

"Oh thank god, he's awake!" Rosie cried as Chrys ran to me.
Her hands on my forehead and cheeks.
"How are you feeling?" She asked with knitted brows.
Taking her hands and holding them I shrugged.
"I'm tired?" I confessed.

"Your tired? After sleeping for a week straight?" Snake asked me with an arched brow.
"Snake, not now!" Rosie hissed.
My eyes widened at Chrys.
"A week..? T-There's no way I was asleep that lo-"
I felt my knees give in as my body began to painfully throb.
Wincing in pain I grabbed at my chest and throat.

"W-What..?" I questioned in pain.
"Its one of the side effects Jezelle warned us about." Rosie said as I was helped to the couch.
"Side effects..?" I looked to everyone in confusion.
My eyes fell on him.
Sly.
He stood at the wall with crossed arms before making his way over to me.
Kneeling down he smiled softly.

"You're human again, Luca." He told me.
I wasn't sure why but hearing it said out loud kind of scared me.
I was human again?
I was no longer the thing Draconis created.
Stan would no longer be interested in me.
I was actually free..

"One of the side effects was your chest pains, your heart is trying to beat properly again and with you being awake now, its going to try beating even more than how it was in your sleep." Rosie explained with a frown.
I sat there with a frown, my eyes on my lap as I tried not to get emotional over this.
I wanted this.
I couldn't get upset over something like this.

"I would like to speak with you in private whenever you're ready." Sly told me as I looked at him with a nod.

It didn't take long for me to get away from everyone else to step into my room with Sly.
He looked troubled and it was bothering me.

"Your regretting what you said," I surprised him as his eyes widened.
"We're not going to be okay, otherwise you wouldn't want to talk in private." I murmured.
Sly's brows furrowed as he cupped my face with both hands, his eyes piercing mine.
"We are going to be okay, I wanted to talk you in private because I want to mark you as mine." He told me.
My face grew hot as I looked at him weird.
"You want to..mark me?" I asked him.

Sly nodded.
"With you being a human, you're more vulnerable to other supernatural beings controlling or lusting after you and I don't want some disgusting vampire or demon trying to get to you." He told me his eyes searching mine as if seeing if I understood.

"Like Stan.." I whispered as he nodded kissing my temple.
"Exactly like him, demons and vampires can not get to you unless the contact you and I make is broken." He said now.
"So a mark.. its like a contract then?" I asked growing confused.
Sly frowned.
"Its more like a personal claim that no one can touch without approval." He grinned as my face darkened.

"It can't be visible.. Chrys would kill me." I told him.
Sly smirked his hands falling on my hips.
"She would still know you were marked, demons can sense that." He told me.
I looked at him before sighing.
"I would still prefer it unseen.. especially with me attending school, those guys-"
"Won't be able to touch you." Sly reassured me.
I was doubting his confidence.
"High bloods rule over other rankings and if that school finds out, you're mine." His eyes gazed into mine as he smiled softly.
"Not a single person in that school would even consider harming you unless they want to deal with me." He said.

I smiled softly now.
"You're sounding pretty bold, you clearly haven't met the kids at my school." I said now.
Sly smirked.
"I'd rather not waste my time dealing with trash." He told me.

"So, am I marking you?" He asked now.
I nodded even though I was feeling pretty shy about it.
Sly nodded before barely pulling my jeans down to reveal my hip bone.
My face flushed as his lips pressed to the bone and without warning sank his teeth into my hip.
Trying not to jerk I squeezed my eyes shut as the pain shot through me.
It hurt.

When he removed his teeth the bite mark was already turning a dark purple.
But it didn't stop Sly from looking pretty pleased with himself.

"And now you're mine." He told me.

Hey everyone! Celty here so this chapter was pretty short, I think I have another short chapter in this mix. Quote on words, "I think." I'm not sure.
But I do apologize for making the chapter short.
Writers block is kicking in and I've been pretty busy with morning and night shifts at work.
I may not update chapter 14 until Monday or Tuesday.
I just need a few days again.
Once more.

Sorry for making this chapter short.

I will inform you on a few things though.
Now that Luca is marked to Sly.
A lot of drama is fixing to really start.
Not only at work and school but outside as well.

Once word spreads that a high blood marked a human, it'll complicate things more than before.
Chapter 14 will also focus on everyone at work and the workers dealing with Luca's new change.

And a certain managers anger towards it that may just cost him his job..

Stay tuned my dearies!
