Bound - Part II
She took her car started driving back to her place. Her beast was howling and growling inside her head begging her let her out. Her beast wanted to run to their mate and tear that woman in pieces. But she was trying her best to not lose control of her beast. Her beast won't stop pacing back and forth growling at her she finally stoped the car by a forest and slammed her hands on the staring wheel.
"He can't be our mate! Didn't you listen to what master told us! We don't have a mate nobody will ever love us we are a weapon that everyone wants to have. And didn't you see he already has a woman with him. He's just like every other supernatural. So stop growling at me and settle down!"
But her beast was still growling and pacing in frustration, she was angry at her for talking like that about their mate. She tried to calm her beast down but finally she gave in and decided to let her beast loose for run. She walks deep into the forest and stripes off her clothes and hid them in a small hole in a tree which probably a squirrel uses as their home. She jumps and shifts into her beast mid air landing on her paws gracefully and takes off with the wind. Her beast is loving the feeling of wind brushing through her fur, the satisfying crunch of dried leaves under her paw. It is to the forest, for serenity that flows as cool river waters. There is something about the sparkle upon the blue, a melody without a rhythm, music without sound. Above wave the great arms, clothed in the greens of every palate and none, the verdant hues of nature's free dreams. In that place she becomes a part of that art, of that three dimensional creation of time and space, of a greater evolutionary span than her brain can fathom. From the rich brown earthen hues of the forest ground to the sweetness of the blue-white sky, the forest is a three dimensional wonderland for the eyes like hers who are willing to absorb the light.
She runs and runs cutting through the air. She finally stops when she reaches a small river bank. Her beast just stands there feeling and enjoy the soft wind blow past her, she sits there on the grass and enjoys the surrounding. The river is a ribbon of living turquoise, boldly flowing amid the green of the forest. No matter the chatter of the trees it is steady, welcoming, refreshing. On quiet days it can be heard to whisper its wisdom, on stormy days it is lost to all but those who listen closely. The river always talks, always speaks the wisdom of the water to anyone who treasures its musical words. Even on the rainiest of days it can heard beneath the splashes, a sacred melody, always moving, always present. The river has a strength that is reflected in the trees. It flows on with confidence, taking the form of the river bed, billions of drops moving together. The community of trees stands tall, trunks reaching into the blue above, light filtering through leaves like perfect stained glass. The river is green in the dawn, yet it will be as speckled as a thousand dollar diamond in the noon sunlight. It flows in that understated way, smoothly onward without a fuss. Is there anything so reliable as this water? Maybe not.
After a while she takes off to where clothes are, after shifting back and changing into her clothes she goes back to her car and starts driving. It's already dusky, it's that time of the day when the last sun-rays of the day kiss the heathland, when the greens and purples melt into grey under the moonlight, that's when the warren empties. Dusk comes with a promise of moonlight, to the time of reflection upon the day passed and awaiting day to be renewed by the light of the sun. It is when the birds sing goodnight until the stars bid them to dream under-wing. Each hue deepens in noble solemnity, finding unity in the night.
Only now she realizes how far she went from her house. She's been driving for three hours and she still has a long way to go before she reaches her house. Her beast is whimpering inside her head as she moves far away from their mate. It would not be completely true is she said she doesn't feel anything for their mate. There is a foreign feeling inside her chest that she can not put her head around. A feeling she never felt. Would he except her if he knew that she was his mate? Or would he have rejected her because of the blonde woman he had with him? Would he love her? Love! She only heard that word never felt it. Care! That's a luxury that she can never have. She shakes away all these thoughts that crawled into her head. She doesn't remember much about her mother and father but she knows that they had unconditional love for each other. She remembers how her mother told her about mates! How she would find her mate someday and he would love her unconditionally, how he would care for her, how they are born for each other and would die for each other. She laughs at herself thinking how she believed those words. Nobody loves or cares for anyone unconditionally. There is always a reason. And no one would ever love and care for her like that, she is a monster and a weapon that everyone wants. That everyone betrays for their own selfish reasons and she learned to not believe anyone anymore now. Everyone acts in a way to achieve something. Everyone that's comes to know what she is, they either tries to use her or tries to kill her. And he would too cause everyone is same, she thought.
It was past eleven when she finally reached her house. She haves her dinner and gets ready for work. She changes into her 'work' attire which includes some black long sleeve and neck tee with leather gloves weaponized with hidden silver blades. Black combat pants, combat boots and a hooded black jacket. She fills her waist belt with various weapons she would need. After putting her hair up in a bun she takes off waiting for new bounty from her master.
It has been three weeks, three weeks of killing, sleepless nights and...pain. Unbearable pain. First she didn't understand why she was feeling such a pain soon she understood her mate he was cheating on her. Well technically it is not cheating as he doesn't know he has a mate but still. Her beast went extremely quiet, quieter than before, her beast was depressed, upset heartbroken from being away from her mate and the consistent cheating and pain. A week later her first wave of heat came. After finding one's mate the female goes through heat. The first and second wave of heat is to allure the male and finishing the mating process faster, while the third and fourth heat waves are for the female. After finding one's mate when they get intimate with someone else, the other one feels excruciating pain, which indicates that their mate is cheating.
It was unbearable for her, lycan and vampire heat combined. It was not something that could kill her but she felt dying would be better than bearing the heat.
She doesn't know how but she reached that very river her beast found three weeks ago. After a successful assassination she ran away and somehow she reached the river. The river is so different, so mesmerizing than the afternoon. The sky is clear full of stars and the rivers turquoise water is now a beautiful black reflecting all the far away stars in the sky. The wind is refreshing cold and inhales a good amount of fresh air putting down her neck sleeve and hood. She takes of her jacket, boots and her gloves and her waist belt. She feels light getting out of all burdens, burdens that's what she likes to call them. She sits on the soft grass and let's the water flow cleaning and getting rid of the warmth of her feet. She looks up at the beautiful sky, her eyes glows a bright gold as her beast who had been quite after getting out their house comes out looking at the sky through her eyes.
She lets out a long breath of relief as she lays down on the soft grass. She closes her eyes and that's when she feels a sharp pain crawling it's way through my abdomen. It was sharp it was so painful, it was nothing like all the pain she have felt till now. Soon the pain starts spreading further. She let's out a whimper, she tries to use her magic but nothing seems to work. Their mate has someone else in his bed with him! She felt the pain of cheating before but this time it was much more painful than before. That's when it hit her! Her second flow of heat. Her body temperature was increasing tremendously. She got down in the river trying to cool herself but soon she was seeing black spots and the last thing she remembers before blacking out was that she felt light! She was flowing with the rivers current!
