Chapter 29: Meeting a Werewolf Alpha (2)

When my consciousness started coming back, I realized I was inside an enclosed space. There was a flicker of fire burning from a distance. When my eye sight became more clear, I saw a camp fire near where I was lying down. I looked around and saw that I was in some kind of cave.

I then realized that my body felt heavy, as if something was on top of me. I was also feeling warm, even though I can hear the rain pouring hard outside of the cave's entrance. I am only wearing my undergarments and should be feeling cold, but I felt very warm.

"H-Heavy…" I mumbled when I felt the pressure on my body. Suddenly, I heard a man's voice behind me.

"Are you awake? I am sorry if I am heavy." The voice said. "I just do not want you to freeze to death. We werewolves have a higher body temperature, and so I hugged you to make you feel warm."

I was startled and instinctively scurried away from the voice. When I looked around, I saw the man from before, the werewolf. He was completely naked, except for a thin cloth that was covering his private area.

"W-Who are you?" I asked while having my defenses heightened. I looked around in search of my weapons.

"Your weapons are over there." The man replied. "I mean you no harm. Please believe me." He had his hands up as a show of his sincerity.

"How can I believe a werewolf?" I asked, still in a defensive position. "Even if you were a human, I will be on my guard with you looking like that." I gestured to his naked appearance.

"Hehe, my apologies." The man chuckled. "I shifted abruptly when I smelled the scent of your blood that I ripped the only clothes I was wearing. I believe this cloth would suffice for now."

The man used the thin cloth as a make shift skirt to cover his private part. It did the job poorly as the cloth was not that big, but he looked hot with him only wearing that piece of fabric.

'What are you thinking about at a time like this, Claudia?!" I scolded myself. I can feel a blush creeping on my face.

"Do you like what you see, my lady?" The man teased me.

"N-No! Of course not!" I replied rather forcefully.

"I am sorry, I am just teasing you. As a show of good will, I will give your weapons back to you. You know that those can harm me." The man said with a smile while giving my weapons back in a defensive manner. "My name is Mark, by the way."

I took my weapons from him rather forcefully, and I felt apologetic right away since I felt I was being rude. This werewolf had helped me with the vampires that were after me not long ago. And not only once did he saved me but twice.

"C-Claudia… my name is Claudia." I introduced myself.

"So your name is Claudia." Mark said with an angelic smile that made me mesmerized. "You are my mate, Claudia."

"Mate… what do you mean by mate?" I asked out of curiosity.

The first time I met him, he also called me mate. I did not know what that meant.

"Us werewolves are given by the moon goddess a destined partner in our entire lifetime." Mark explained. "This partner will be the one that holds our heart and soul. We have a connection that is unbreakable."

"Is this like some kind of soulmate or something?" I asked. "Do you mean that we have some kind of connection with one another?"

"Yes, you can compare it like that. A soulmate." Mark replied with a smile. "Can't you feel it Claudia, our connection to one another?"

When Mark asked me that question, I then realized what I was feeling the moment I first saw him and until now. I can feel some kind of force pulling me towards him. My body is feeling unbearably hot when I was near him, and even at this distance. I feel at ease even though I know that he is a werewolf, a daemon that humans would fear.

"I can see you feel it as well." Mark said while taking a step forward slowly. "I am not here to hurt you. I came here in search for you after I felt our bond."

"B-But I am not a werewolf, how can I be your mate?" I asked in confusion. "I-I am human."

My voice trembled with the thought that I would have become something other than a human. That I must have somehow become a monster when I was in a coma for eight years.

"There had been instances that a werewolf had a human mate. It is nothing new." Mark said. "I just never thought that my mate would be one, considering that I am an alpha."

I secretly sighed in relief after hearing that there were instances of werewolf having human mates, meaning I could still be human.

"You are a werewolf alpha?" I asked out of surprise. "So, you are a leader of a pack?"

"The only pack left at this side of the continent." Mark replied with a smile. "I do not want to brag, but it is a rather big pack."

A big pack just means how strong the pack is, and also its alpha. That just means that Mark is not your run of the mill alpha werewolf.

"So, your strong?" I asked. "Does that mean you were able to beat that vampire a while ago?" This was one of the questions that was running thru my mind.

Before I lost consciousness, I was able to see a glimpse of their intense battle. I was sure that the vampire was able to hold his own against Mark who was an alpha.

"I had the upper hand in the battle, but he was able to escape." Mark said with a frown. "Sorry about that."

"Why are you apologizing?" I asked in confusion.

"Because that leech sucked your blood." Mark growled in anger. "He bit you, who is my mate and sucked your blood. He also said that it was so sweet that if he could, he would have kept you for himself. I should have killed that b*stard and tore his body into pieces!" He said with such an angry expression.

I just remembered that I was bit by that f*cking vampire in my neck. I checked it hurriedly, but when I tried touching my neck, I did not feel any bite marks or any pain.

"Do not worry, I have already licked your wounds." Mark said while he parted my hair that was covering my neck. "Our saliva has healing properties, and it helped heal your wounds a little."

I then realized that my scratches all over my body had closed. The big wound I made in my arm was the only one left, and it looked like it was in the final stage of healing.

"Let me help you with that." Mark took my arm and licked the reddish wound with his warm tongue.

Rather than feel strange by what Mark was doing, I find it rather hot. My body felt some kind of electricity with his touch, like the one I felt from before. My body was heating up with his touch.

"You still have some wound left here as well." Mark said while parting my hair and proceeding to lick my neck.

My body flinched with the contact. My heart was racing so fast and my body was starting to feel weird. It felt like my body was turned on with Mark's touch.

"Can you feel that as well?" Mark whispered into my ear, his breath felt ticklish and was fueling what I am feeling right now. "Our bodies are trying to say that it needs each other. I won't lie to you Claudia. I want you, here and now. If you do not want to, then push me away."

I was in a daze when Mark said that. My mind was telling me not to do this, but my body was telling me otherwise.

'I want him.' I thought. 'I want Mark to touch me.'

Mark's face was inching nearer and nearer until our lips finally met. His lips was so soft and it taste like cherries. The sweetness of the kiss made me want more. Our kiss deepened even further and our bodies intertwined as if they were meant to be. Our passionate kiss felt so right, as if this was what it should be. I was feeling euphoria at the moment, something I haven't felt for a long time.

Mark's hand started to travel all over my body. I felt a great sensation from his touch. My body was craving for him, craving for it to be taken by him. When his hand was about to enter my underwear, I just snapped out of it. I pushed him back as hard as I can. To my surprise, Mark did not resist and stepped back.

"I-I am sorry…" I said. "I… I am not ready for this." I composed myself.

"It's okay." Mark said with with a calm and reassuring voice. "Like I said, if you don't want it then you can push me away. I do not want to force you in anything that you do not want. You are my mate, and I want your love together with your respect and trust."

"This… this is all still new for me." I confessed. "Would you… tell me everything that you know?" I asked.

"Of course." Mark said with a reassuring smile. "I will explain to you everything you wish to know. I will answer all your questions that are in my knowledge."

I felt at ease talking to Mark. He was a werewolf, a daemon, but I feel close to him for some reason. I cannot but help to think if it is really because of the mate bond that he had said or is it something else.
