Chapter 59 He Marked Her

Chapter 59 He Marked Her
LILITH’S POV
I quietly took few glimpses of his handsome face, his muscles were tensed, eyes feeling heavy. Since the issues have been raised within the pack he hasn’t got to sleep well, he looks tired but concern looms on his face.
‘Is it just me or do you also think that we are unable to figure out what is going on in the pack’ this thought was hindering on my mind from last few days and finally I took the courage to share it with him.
He sighed in response, resting his hands under his head.
‘Honestly, at this point I also don’t know what to comment. Initially we all knew that rogues are causing issues, the purpose, still don’t know. I am having a hard time finding out their reason for targeting the packs, or more specifically, our pack. While this issue is on top priority to resolve, I just learnt from you and Margaret that their isn’t just rogues, but witches as well’ he looks annoyed. I can understand his frustration; there is no way for us to get our hands on rogues and reach any of their places or at least find out what their purpose is.
‘Why would witches be helping them?’ I muttered, unable to push back the image of witches, they were indeed casting some sort of magic. I just hope that it wasn’t for our pack.
‘Of course, they have their own agenda, our two enemies have become friends to destroy us’ I hummed, it makes sense. Their was a long pause between us, I bit the corner of my lips.
‘We won’t lose, right?’ Despite his confirmation to me many times, my heart wasn’t at peace, as if their was something that was hyping the fear in me that we won’t be able to defeat them.
‘I will start working on it, that witch, Margaret has. I think we should meet her and learn about her power; to defeat the witch, we would be needing the witch’ looks like he has made up his mind.
‘Okay’ though it wasn’t the answer to my question, but I think he wanted me to know that he won’t give up, no matter how many other kinds get involved, he will fight till his last breath.
‘Lilith, how much have you learnt about your own power?’ his question filled my heart with sadness.
‘I don’t know, I don’t feel any unique ability in me’ he tossed facing me, it was so sudden my breath hitched, the small space I kept between us was covered by his body and now we were just few inches away. My eyes admiring his sharp jawline and chiseled cheek bones, for the first time I noticed he has long lashes, I suppressed the urge to touch them. He cleared his throat and I was startled, completely forgetting that we were in between of talk and instantly lowered my gaze to avoid the embarrassment.
He sighed and lifted my hand that I had rested on my belly, I couldn’t help but look at him, and our eyes locked, I felt like it was our moment when he spoke up.
‘White wolf is strong, they are meant to be strong, and I trust Irene is alone enough to keep you safe, however, what happened today and as your mate, I don’t want to take any risk of finding you in the state that you were today’ his hand playing with my fingers, I flinch inwardly to endure the tingles and electrifying spark.
‘I’m sorry, I will be more aware of my surrounding next time and ensure to keep myself safe from any danger’ the fear which I forgot, surfaced, he was right, what happened today with me shouldn’t have occurred and I must ensure that I avoid such situation in future as well.
‘Uh-uh’ he shook his head, intertwined our hand and locked his eyes with mine. I was nervous, his deep blue eyes were not the usual, they held care, fear and warmth. I licked my lips, and instantly understood it wasn’t a normal conversation we were going to have, where he instructed me to be careful, rather it was something personal, something beautiful, just about us, about our bond.
He inhaled a sharp breath before sighing and in a blink of an eye he was over me, my eyes widened in shock, I wasn’t prepared for it, but do I need to?
‘I should have marked you right after we reached the pack from Greenwoods Pack, the rogues attack at the middle of night was enough to push me to take this decision but I was fool’ he wasn’t sane mind, I bit my lower lip, he was calling himself fool, what has happened to my mate?
‘Perhaps, Luna ceremony was the perfect occasion to introduce you and mark you, but things aren’t in our favor and doesn’t look to be any time soon’ his thumb softly caressing my jawline, I was getting drawn to his touch. This is third time we are getting this close, and I don’t want the result to be the same as last two times. I want him to remove the hesitation between us, break the wall of being stranger, deep down I and Irene were yarning for being loved by our mate.
‘But what happened today had feared me, I don’t want to lose you ever. I don’t want us both to be in a situation where we can’t reach, contact each other, tell us about the danger. I want to feel the danger before you tell me, if ever you are in. Things aren’t going good and your life could be in the more danger than anyone. I want to protect you without limiting your freedom and movement.’ I wasn’t getting to what he was up to, if he was telling me that he is afraid to lose me, I was flying in the sky, he wants to protect me, does this mean he had accepted our bond?
He might have learned my confusion, because a sweet smile lifted the corners of his lips and his eyes changed the color from blue to brown, I held my breath at the sight, his wolf was trying to show himself.
‘Caleb?’ he placed his finger on my lips, shushing me down.
‘I want to mark you; I am sorry we can’t have a proper Luna ceremony now, but I promise you’ this time I shushed him by placing my palm on his lips.
‘I don’t need any Luna ceremony, I want you. You are the most important person in my life. I am more than happy to be marked alone rather than in public’ I bit the corner of my lip after saying this to him, his eyes widened with shock, did I just confess to him about my feelings? Damn! I swear under my breath.
‘The thought of marking initially scares me, the idea of completely getting exposed to other person was like you are a open book for that specific person, can’t keep any emotion, thoughts hidden from them and I don’t find it comfortable but now, this doesn’t affect me and I don’t mind if you get to read me inside out.’ His lips lifted playfully, I was lost, trying to understand what he meant by that when he lowered his head, licked the crook of my neck.
It was very first intimate touch from my mate; I closed my eyes to feel it. It was good, I moaned as he pampered soft kisses on my neck, but in few seconds, I shrieked in pain when I felt something getting pierced at the end of my neck.
‘Lilith! We are marked. Yay, our mate, marked us’ Irene chirped, the pain was too much, it felt like whole world spun around me for a moment. Pain ended swiftly and he licked the spot few times before getting up, a satisfying and proud smile on his face.
‘You are officially my mate now’ his eyes were shining bright; my heart swelled with joy. I am sure that day isn’t far when he will accept our bond and start loving me.
‘I want to mark you too’ I said hesitantly, he got tensed instantly.
‘Please’ I don’t want to be rejected, he quietly nodded and sat up, helping me to sit across him. I was glad he didn’t make any fuss on this. He was tall, I had to balance on my knees to get to his neck, my hands trembling, I was feeling shy and hesitated, it wasn’t easy for me though, but I had to do this. I want everyone to know that he is mine, only mine.
I let Irene take the charge and aimed the lower side of his neck. She was quick, I felt his strong arm wrapped around me, getting tightened unless I retreat. My eyes locked at the mark I had just given to him, and a proud feeling erupted within me.
‘Happy?’ my gaze drifted to his face, his eyes softly caressing my face, I felt tingling inside my stomach.
‘Yes’ I traced his mark through my finger, he flinched.
The atmosphere in room has gotten thick, racing of our heart could be heard from the distance, quiet whisperings binding us with each other, none of us could break it. Something was pulling us close, his hands wrapped around my waist and mine sneaked to his neck, one hand playing with his dark locks.
‘Did I tell you that you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen’ I giggled, his hot breath touching my skin making my cheeks to burn. His eyes flickering between my lips and eyes, I was holding my breath, waiting for him to initiate. He could see that I wouldn’t mind if he kissed me and that was enough for him.
He captured my lips and I closed my eyes leaning close to him, putting almost all my weight on him. At beginning we both were hesitant, but soon our kiss turned into soft, giving in. Our lips syncing perfectly in the rhythm.
It was the best moment of my life; I want the time to stop and let me live my life in arms of my mate being kissed by him.
