Chapter 4: Marking her to be his
~ Aiden’s POV ~
“What the hell did you just do?,” I paced to and fro in the room, my hands in my head cussing out in a low breath.
“What you ought to do, I can’t sit back and hold still while you hesitate to mark her, I won’t,” my wolf, Rudolph spat at me and I growled, my teeth clattering against each other.
“You fucking marked her against her will”, I yelled, I can’t believe my wolf would go against me. He noticed my hesitation in explaining things to her and telling her what we are, he fucking knew I wouldn’t accept a human for a mate and to top it all, a blind human.
“Did you freaking hear yourself right now?, we have been looking for our mate for the past six months and yet you find her. You are having a second thought about it”, He spat back at me growling.
“I did you a favor, you won’t reject her and destroy us. “US”, it’s not only about you, she’s mine too,”
“You were doing me a favour, Hun. You betrayed me, we are supposed to make the choice together, the marking could have wait. She would need time after we explain things to her. She have to be willing”, I panted screaming, he fucking go against me and kept me in a tight spot. I shoved my wolf to the back of mind, I know we had been waiting for this for a long time now. But he fucking ruined it, all my efforts goes to waste.
I had been watching her for quite some time and it took all my self-control not to kidnap her and mark her against her will but we needed time, I knew what she is and I have planned it all along, I need to be able to convince her to my pack, it wouldn’t be easy to have a blind human as a mate and Luna and for the pack members to accept. I knew my old man wouldn’t accept, that’s why I have to laid out my plans so well, I am tired of waiting.
My heartbeat quickened staring in admiration at her sight on the king-size bed, her shining long jet black hair splattered on the pillow, my mark glinting on her neck. I leaned over running my hands on her perfect heart shaped lips. It’s just a pity she is blind but I bet she knew she is a seer. She had been sleeping for hours, an Alpha’s mark is that strong. Her voice interrupted my thoughts and I glanced up staring at her white sclera mixed with a ting of ocean blue.
“Where am I?,” she stirred in her sleep, sitting and leaning on the rest board.
“Off-edge campus,” I blurted out, I could hear her heartbeat quickening and her muscles quivering as she trembled slightly.
“Lend me your phone, I need to place a call right now,” She demanded, biting her lips and running her hands through her hair. I paced to and fro aligning my thoughts and how to explain things to her, she might be oblivious to the supernatural world and that would be a pain in the ass. She took a long stride to my side after making calls sitting across me.
“Those red eyes…”, Her voice strayed off and I glanced at her direction, she was sitting so calm and fondling with her hands.
“I have a lot of questions but it started making sense to me, how I had felt so comfortable with you despite it being our first time meeting, how I had wanted to protect you and run off with you. How I had felt safe with you alone and how I innocently craved for your touches. It all makes sense”, She added.
“You’re a werewolf and my mate”, She blurted, my eyes nearly bulging out from its socket. I tugged in my lips, a playful grin on my mouth.
“Wow, wow. I am impressed”, I finally exclaimed breaking the tension in the air.
“I won’t ask you how you knew about it, you have envisioned this conversation. Am I right?”, I whispered and she froze, her heartbeat picked.
“You must not have known what you are or about your identity. I bet you knew?”, I stated in a firm tone.
“I am a seer, is that what you think?”, She questioned, wiggling her eyebrows. I nodded humming in response.
“That’s the only reasonable explanation that I could come up with and you must come from a lineage of witches”, I replied and she shifted in her seat uncomfortably, sweat tickling down her forehead makes me wondered if it’s that hot or she was having one of her weird visions. She jerked, panting. I clenched my fists, my teeth gnawing at each other. I could feel her pain, her emotions, every bit of her emotions rushing at me like a tornado. I gasped for breath after her envision session. How in the hell am I going to cope with this?, Is the Moon goddess playing tricks on me now after making me wait for two years.
“No way but I need to go home”, she snapped out from her trance heaving loudly.
“Wait, why aren’t you saying anything on why I had marked you against your will”, I questioned.
“It’s gonna happen anyway, it’s inevitable”, She muttered under a low breath heading for the door.
“I will take you back home”, I ran out stopping her with my car keys dangling in my hand.
“I had no choice anyway, it’s already late and I bet I would see a bus at this hour”, She replied, entering and fastening her seat-belt.
“Are you gonna ask your Mom?… I have an aunt in my pack who’s also a seer--”
“Just what exactly are you playing at, if that’s what’s on your mind. I am not following you anywhere”, She stated cutting me off and I gripped the steering wheel so hard.
“Your Mom wouldn’t know anything about your identity, you knew I must have been following you for six months? Right?”, I asked and she nodded, seemed she wasn’t oblivious after all, she might just finds it hard to believe she wasn’t a human after all.
“You knew everything and still come to save me”, I asked quipping an eyebrow at her.
“I don’t. The pieces just start to settle in, you splashed a drink on me last week at the cafeteria, you placed your feet on the hallway three weeks ago and I didn’t trip, I noticed you have been watching me and staring at me, and when I stared back. You always had this smirk on your face so I thought you might have been one of those people who hated my presence and bully me”, She explained and I felt my heart ache at her last statement. Was she bullied because she was blind?.
“I don’t really know what to do, my head is hurting and I have been trying to process everything that has happened”, She lets out in a thin voice as if she wanted to break down. I packed the car in front of her house leaning close to her cupping her cheeks.
“You would be fine though I finds it so hard to believe I finally got to claim you”, I beamed giving her a light peck on the chin and on the forehead. She baded her goodbye. I hope I had make the right choice of accepting and marking her, her whole existence sparked trouble. I had planned out everything so well, the fights. Pretending to be hurt, I knew she would be entangled and perhaps see me in her vision as her mate.
