Klaus
“Klaus,” a raspy moan filled my ears as I carved my teeth into her neck. Todd took over for a second, my canines elongated and the marking process started. I sucked her blood as it popped out when I bit hard on her marking spot. Todd was a violent wolf who loved the taste of our mate's blood whilst I was worried about the pain we were giving to her.
"This pain will bring pleasure in the end when the marking process will be finished," Todd scowled and rolled his eyes at me.
Her grip on my neck tightened and her nails dug into my flesh deeper which aroused me more. A slight action from her could make me hard, she was so unaware of her effect on me. Tasting her sweet blood in my mouth, I took my lips away from her neck for a second to look at her.
“Mine,” Todd growled, being possessive fu-kboy as he was before returning to his place.
She had closed her eyes, throwing her head back and she didn’t even have any idea how hot she looked while doing that. I watched her parting her lips to say something but she took that moment to breathe slowly to calm her thundering heart.
I moved my head back to her neck and saw my mark on her neck darkening, the blood drying and healing slowly. My finger stroked the mark and kissed it passionately. I completed the marking process by licking it through my tongue so the mark would have my scent and she’ll have the mind-link to me.
“Yes, my life is still in the dark but I was never someone else’s. I was always yours, I believe in the Moon Goddess and as the saying goes, mates are made for each other. I was yours, I’m yours, and I’ll be yours forever and I can’t prove anything to you rather than offering you the exclusive mind-link to me,” I announced with sincerity, cupping her cheeks.
“You will be able to see my whole life that I lived without you but you're the sunshine in my dark life so Scarlett Walkers, I, Klaus Todd Nelson, have marked you mine,” I said in my Alpha voice to remark this as a promise. A pledge that can’t be undone.
She had still closed her eyes and kept chanting, “it’s a dream, it’s a dream…” which made me giggle, she looked so innocent like a baby while doing so.
The marking process was so important to have that special mind-link with your mate which couldn’t be severed till your mate’s death and at the crucial times, your mate’s link reaches you first of all besides any other pack members or even ranked werewolf.
Her skin had been torn by my canines and it usually takes one or two days to heal the skin and highlight the mark though I marveled at what kind of mark it'll look like. All the werewolves had different marks from their mates. I wanted my mark to be the most stunning and special so she would wear it with pride.
She opened her eyes when I stopped kissing her marking spot, her hands still glued to the tree just like I had settled there. I smirked as I felt that I had tamed her and the fire was ignited on both sides. As much as I wanted her, she also wanted me.
“You look breathtakingly hot like this,” leaning to her, I mumbled, insinuating to her slow breathing and raised hands and standing half-naked. “I hope you enjoyed the-”
Before I could finish my words, she grasped the hem of my t-shirt and tore it down. Scarlett locked her gaze with me and I noticed her wolf’s golden flacks emerging into her blue eyes. I had never seen her wolf but that color excited me to see her wolf.
“I’m excited to meet her wolf, too,” Todd smirked with curiosity, dwindling his eyes. “I couldn’t feel her wolf responding to me when we marked her,” he added and that seemed absurd to me but I neglected his thoughts as my Queen grabbed my neck and pulled my mouth closer to her preference so she could kiss me.
Swinging her arms in my neck, she caressed the back of my neck and I could feel myself leaning toward her so her back could be pressed against the tree again. Her hands shifted to my shoulders and then, my chest, her feather touches on my chest ignited the sparks beneath my veins.
I found myself clutching her waist to get support as she kissed my lips so passionately. My heart was melting under her kiss and touch. Her hands loved traveling from my chest to my hair, leaving the fire burning wherever her fingers trailed.
We gasped for the air as we kept kissing for a good couple of minutes without taking a moment to fill our lungs with the air. Something in her seemed awakened as she kept trailing wet kisses on my earlobes which made me groan and tighten my hold on her waist.
Her lips moved to my neck and she licked the skin so sensually that I couldn’t resist grabbing her hips which made me realize that her one foot was bent and resting against the tree. I started caressing her exposed ass and thigh which caused her to halt what she was doing to my neck.
“Please, don’t stop,” whispering into her ear, I kept stroking her leg before yanking it and tying it around my hips. Scarlett’s hands went down from my chest to my abs, finding the button of my trousers while her lips kept doing wonders to my marking spot.
Kicking the trousers off, I leaned closer to her, my body pressing hard against hers. I could feel the skin-to-skin contact and her hardened nip-les against my body whilst my hardened co-k pressed into her belly.
“Ahh, funk,” a wild growl escaped my mouth when her teeth clamped my marking spot, giving me a sharp pain. I could feel my skin tearing and her mouth sucking on my blood.
“Mine,” an animalistic voice roared which resonated in the air for a few seconds but I couldn’t see any fur appearing on her body. Her wolf’s voice was so powerful that I mistook it for an animal’s voice.
The pain was soon replaced by pleasure as she started kissing her mark on me passionately and licking it to stop the blood from flowing. We were a marked pair now and I was looking forward to the mating process but I didn’t want it to be rushed like this.
The mating process could only be done only on the full moon night which was just two nights away.
Just one night of mating process and we would be together forever, having the privilege of each other’s mind and body. We’ll be one in a true manner and will go through everything together.
“I’m looking forward to the full moon night, I’ll have to save you from dying into a duel now. You have given me a reason to keep you alive,” Todd grunted, showing his nasty smirk off.
“As if you can be alive without me either. Don’t forget whose body you’re living into,” I grinned before adding, “I also want our mate, and don’t be so cocky. It’s me who has control over you.”
“Oh, you wish! Seems like your grandpa hasn’t told you about me,” my wolf said with a sly grin on his face which didn’t make sense to me at all.
Neglecting his foolish remarks and narcissist comments, I held her face into mine to look into her half-closed eyes. Her body was trembling slightly and her face was drenched in sweat.
She was about to faint, I shouted her name and tried to stop her from fainting by shaking her shoulders but she fell in my arms instead and I wished I would have focused on her instead of Todd’s gibberish.
After the marking process, many she-wolves fainted and couldn’t step out of their bed when it was an Alpha’s blood which meant that her wolf was weak despite being a Gamma and that was astonishing.
Scarlett was one of the strongest fighters I have come across, I expected her wolf to be a strong one, too. At that moment, I couldn’t care less about her wolf’s strength and weakness. I needed Scarlett to be safe and for that, I had to take her to Asher so we could make sure of her safety and wait for her to wake up before I could go to the duel.
As I finished getting her dressed and wore my trousers only as my mate had torn my t-shirt, my head started spinning before I could take a few steps ahead, carrying her into my arms.
A sharp pain tugged into my head and my vision got blurred before I could even reach the garden. We were at the cliff where I always used to come to find peace since childhood, only Jenna knew about this.
After a second which seemed like an hour, the pain faded away and my vision got clear. I asked Todd why this happened but he didn’t know about this either.
“Perhaps due to the so many pending links in your mind,” Todd assumed and I nodded absentmindedly. I had blocked all the links since I walked away from the packhouse hall, leaving Xavier and my family appalled.
I had accepted the war and the duel will start tomorrow evening.
