hearts on fire

CHAPTER NINE

"Right I have no idea where to start." jai blurted out and I clapped loudly.

"How about the beginning?" I rolled my eyes.

"right uh okay." he paused for about ten seconds, making me jump up and down on the bed at how impatient I was. "Hurry uuuup." I nudged him not expecting him to budge at all, but he lost his balance and fell off the bed with a loud bang.

"HAHAHAHAH-"

"Shut up."

"HAHAHAHAHAHA-" I pissed myself with laughter whilst he brushed off his trousers and made his way back on to the bed with a huff.

"Am I really that strong or did I just catch you off guard?" I giggled slightly still, tears in my eyes.

"You caught me off guard." I latched on to his bluff and burst out laughing again and after about a minute more of laughing I settled down. "Okay can you get on with the explaining shit now?" I grinned at him and he scowled at me.

"Okay. Well, in case you haven't figured it out yet, I’m a werewolf." I snorted at his monotone voice and spat out "no shit."

"You’ve watched all those shitty werewolf shows or films right? The only facts they got right is the leadership hierarchy the rest is all complete bullshit."

"So you don’t turn in to big fluffy wolves on a full moon?" I acted stupid, but couldn’t hold it in for long because he glared at me.

"We can turn any time we want we don’t need the full moon. In actual fact, the full moon is when we are at our weakest, it drains our transformation and makes our bones less strong."

"So am I a wolf now?"

"Yes. Well, sort of. I think I should explain what happened to you before we go in to that. "

"Go on then dipshit."

"I am shut the fuck up and listen for once!"

"Okay okay! Calm your tits!" I put my hands up and backed away, only to be pulled back in to his strong arms.

"The zurina is a liquid that can only affect Luna’s-"

"What’s a Luna?"

"An alpha's mate, have you not read any books?"

"Well soooorry I didn’t exactly know this was going to be my life in the future why the fuck would I research in to this!"

"Do you know anything about werewolves?"

"No..."

He huffed but explained anyway. “Each werewolf has a mate, someone who they are bonded with for life. They are paired together by fate and destiny and have a magnetic pull towards each other and one day they will meet. There has never been a wolf who’s never met their mate, because of the way fate works I guess, and rose you're my mate."

"How do you know whether someone’s your mate?" I raised an eyebrow at him, not sure whether he was telling the truth about me being destined to him.

I guess for humans like yourself it’s more difficult to pick up on the signs because your senses aren’t as strong as us. For werewolves, as soon as their mate walks in to the room, he or she smells them. Think of your favourite ever smells in the world combined in to one. Go on tell me what some of them are." I looked at him unsure.

"Uuh, chocolate... coffee... cherries... ice-cream... cupcake icing..." I trailed off.

"Good, now sniff me."

"Excuse me?" I widened my eyes at him. He looked at me in that 'do what I say or I’ll make you' kind of way so I obeyed. I moved towards his neck and breathed in deeply.
