She tried to sit up in bed but felt dizzy, she was unable to get up due to the pain.
"Take it easy. The first time hurts the most," he laughed.
"What happened last night" she wondered. She remembered running around the forest with him. She had flashbacks of her spread out on top of him. Her cheeks flushed from the memories
She wondered why she was not on the sofa but instead in what she assumes is his bed. How did she end up with no clothes on? She had so many unanswered questions.
"You tore your clothes when you transformed" he answered as if he had read her mind.
She subconsciously pulled up the blanket trying to cover as much skin as possible.
"I saw it all last night" He smirked.
"Did we" she couldn't bring herself to finish her sentence.
"Did we do what?" he asked. He was clearly toying with her, enjoying watching her squirm.
"What happened last night?" She changed her tactic.
"You passed out from exhaustion so I carried you back. I had to put you in my bed as you wouldn't let go of me." he smiled.
After hearing this, she wished the ground would swallow her whole.
His left hand started to caress the back of her hair whilst he maintained eye contact. His touch sent a charge of excitement down her body. Her brain wouldn't focus.
His right thumb started running across her bottom lip. He was focused totally on her.
His lips were slightly parted. She was eager to sample.
He pulled at her hair as his lips came crashing onto hers. His lips were soft and wet. This left her breathless.
He was tugging at the back of her head with one hand whilst his tongue slipped into her mouth. He boldly caressed her tongue. She let out a soft moan which excited him.
He bit her lip with his teeth before slipping his tongue in again. Her entire body was heating up. She focused on the sensation she felt whilst their lips touched.
She circled his neck with her arms. His skin was warm to touch.
He grabbed her waist, pulling her body against his.
He dragged his mouth from hers. They weren't both panting.
He pressed his nose against hers and smiled. "Not until you have recovered" he whispered, causing her cheeks to turn crimson.
Lowe lay down on top of the blanket next to her. He guided her head onto his chest. She lay breathing in his scent and listening to his heartbeat.
"When you have recovered from your first transformation, I will mark you" he said.
This shocked her, causing her to try to get up but then she felt a sharp pain in her back. He pulled her back onto his muscly chest and started stroking her hair softly.
"What do you mean by mark me?" she asked.
Lowe explained to her that werewolves each only have one mate and that a mate is similar to a soul mate. A werewolves mate is destiny from the moon. Their mate's scent is sweet only to them and is very strong and very addictive. Werewolves go through a marking process where whilst mating the male wolf bites the female between the neck and the shoulder. Once they have completed the mating process then they can feel their mates emotions and read each other's thoughts. A werewolf can block their mate from reading their thoughts and feelings but this is painful for the wolf. Once they are marked, the symptoms happen in both human and wolf form
"Wait, so you are saying i am your mate?" she asked.
"Yes," he replied.
"Wait, how do you know i am your mate? Are you sure? " she questioned.
"Because to me you smell sweet" he replied as he kissed her forehead.
Selena looked at Lowe as he lay there. She wondered whether he was really her mate. She could not deny the fact that she felt unbelievably attracted to him. However, she knew she could not allow herself to be his mate as she had a husband. She wondered whether she should tell Lowe about Blade.
Would it make a difference?
If what he said is true she could not let him mark her she deliberated. Her inner voice jumped in in protest "Let him mark you," the voice exclaimed. "He is our mate."
They lay there in silence for a period of time, before Selena found herself hungry.
Lowe sensed her restlessness. He got up and placed his lips against hers once more.
Her lips felt swollen from his kisses earlier.
"Let's eat" he said as he got up and handed her some clothes which had been placed on the chair across from the bed.
