Chapter Twenty-Seven - Mark E

TWO WEEKS LATER

EDWARD

Kara and I were sitting at the mountain crevice where we poured our hearts out to each other. She was softly singing to a song I wasn't familiar with and I was admiring her melodic voice. When she finished, I worked up the courage to ask her something that has been on my mind forever.

"Little wolf?"

She hummed in response and looked at me with those charming bright blue eyes. I sat closer and placed my hand on hers, "I was wondering if you would want me to mark you."

She was stunned by my words. I was scared that she would run away from me, but instead she held my hand back, "Sure."

My eyes widened at that, "Seriously?" She nodded, "Yes, unless you want me to change my mind."

"No! No, please don't."

She let out a cute giggle. I picked her up, laid my back against the side of the mountain and placed her on my lap.

"So, you're the only one biting, right?" she asked and I nodded. "It'll show on your left and my right wrist after a few hours."

I placed my hand on her face and pulled her lips to mine.

Damn, this isn't how I imagined my first kiss to go.

I kissed and nibbled her bottom lip while she gently kissed my top one. I went to hold her left hand in mine as she ran her right one through my hair. I kissed her one more time before pulling away and lowering my head to her left wrist.

I kissed, licked, and sucked on the spot before grazing my teeth against her skin. She placed her other hand on my chest and breathed erratically. I slightly pulled away from her wrist, "Ready, little wolf?"

She nodded and I kissed her wrist once more, "The pain won't last too long."

With that, I bit her wrist firmly but gently. When I was sure that her skin wasn't pierced but it left a mark, I pulled away and licked and kissed the wound. I looked up to see her biting her lips, fighting the pain. I captured her lips in mine to try and take away her pain, and soon, she relaxed into the kiss.

After a while, she pulled away for air and I placed my hands on her waist.

"You're amazing," I complimented.

"I didn't really do anything, but thanks."

She laid her side on my chest and I wrapped an arm around her waist to keep her steady. She held up her left wrist to get a closer look at my bite.

"So, after a few hours, the bite mark will rise about a millimeter and my wrist will also form one," I explained and she nodded. I buried my nose in her hair and engulfed myself with her intoxication scent.

I invited her over to the Cullen house to meet everyone and also tell them the news. We went in and I led her to the living room where the others were gathered in.

"Family," I announced, getting their attention, "Kara Manfred, my mate."

Soon as I ended the sentence, Alice was already up and hugging Kara. She giggled and hugged back. They pulled away and Alice was smiling like crazy, "It's so nice to meet you, I'm Edward's sister-in-law, Mary Alice Brandon, Alice for short."

"Alice, it's likewise," she replied with a smile and I whispered to her, "She can see the future," she nodded. Next came Rosalie. She offered Kara a hand and a smile, "I'm Rosalie Hale or Rose, current co-leader and his sister-in-law. Pleasure to meet you."

She shook her hand, "Pleasure to meet you too, Rose." Esme came next and she placed a hand on her shoulder, "I'm Esme Evenson but call me Esme, the mother of the house."

"Esme, nice to meet you."

She smiled back. Then, came the guys.

"Emmett, current leader, eldest brother, good to see you, Kara."

She waved, "Good to see you too."

Then, she suddenly felt really happy.

'I know who's doing it.'

"That happy emotion's from me, Kara," she turned to Jasper, "I'm Jasper, second brother. Good to put a face with the name, pathokinesis is my ability."

"Edward talks a lot about you too and that's a cool ability."

Lastly, Carlisle walked to her, "Kara, we've met on many different occasions. I'm Carlisle, father of the house."

"Yes, we have," she smiled and waved. I put an arm around her shoulder and kissed her hair, signaling that we should tell them. At this point, Alice was taking pictures of us, "Don't you look adorable together!"

I chuckled into her hair. She looked at my family, "We have something to tell you."

Their face had a questioning look, inching us to tell them. She looked at the one with the camera, "Alice, would you like to tell them?"

She looked back at her and nodded, "Edward marked her!"

In a blink of an eye, everyone was around us trying to take a look at the bite mark.

I brought her around the house, giving her a tour. The last room though...

"And um, this is my room."

She walked in and looked around, "It's pretty cool, no bed?" I shook my head, "I don't sleep."

She hummed in response and looked out the big glass door. I walked and placed my hand on the small of her back, "I use this exit to get out of the house quickly."

"So, you just jump and land on the trees?"

I nodded, "You wanna try sometime?"

She smiled at me, "Yeah, not today though."

"I understand."

She ended up spending the afternoon with my family, but had to leave before dinner. I accompanied her to the White Moon pack territory, mainly so I could be there when the others ask about the mark and also Connor would want to ask a ton of questions so I'd rather get it over with tonight.

Short chapter, I know. But hey, Edward's mark is on and she properly met the Cullens. Thank you for choosing to read NOBT. Please leave a vote and comment! It means a lot to me.
