"Happy Anniversary Baby!", i sneaked up on him from behind the kitchen counter where i found him making dinner for us. "Happy Anniversary Cute face", he said unfazed which made me more annoyed. I really wish i had enhanced hearing like he did.
Ooh yeah... my boyfriend is a werewolf and we have been together for a year now, he is a member of the Royal guard, serving the Alpha King. In the beginning i was so scared of the whole mate concept that i thought he was insane, i mean werewolves? really? it was as if i was dreaming and then he took me to the woods and transformed into a very huge wolf and then i lost consciousness and he had to rush me to the hospital. When i woke up, i found a note of him apologising and telling me that it was ok if i didn't want to be with him. I told myself that it was for the best for a few days until i got into heat and he came bursting into our apartment and held me the whole night, the feeling of comfort is still on me and i love him for it. That was when i decided to hell with it, i was going to love Tan till the day i die.
He marked me right after the heat passed and i enjoyed it very much. I had to keep it covered so that my friends could not see it until it was healed and a symbol of a silver wolf infront of a shield appeared. He told me it was the mark of the Royal guard but the wolf was him, Hunter, he was scary when he was angry but a big baby when it came to cuddles and his fur was amazing to sleep on when we went on picnics. All in all, we had our bubble and we were happy about it even though he kept on disappearing every now and then or should i say when duty called. I tried asking him to take me with him but he said it was dangerous and that his job made him gain alot of enemies than friends so it was safer for me to remain in the human world. I wont lie, there are nights when i miss him so much but i know that he has duties to his King and i respect that.
"What are you making?", "Steak and potato wedges, just the way you like it", he said and turned, meeting his bright blue eyes made me smile, i loved his eyes, and his silver hair that made him look like an old man was such a turn on, he growled at me, i guess he figures i was checking him out. "Stop doing that Lola", he warned. "What was i doing?", i replied innocently while walking towards our bedroom. An hour later we were sitting in the kitchen enjoying out dinner when his eyes went all foggy, someone was mind linking him and by the furrowing of his eyebrows it was not good news. When they were done his body tensed, i knew he was figuring out how to share the information with me. "It's ok Tan, you can go", i said sincerely. His job was important to him you see wolves don't choose what they become they are born into a role so even if i didn't allow him to go he would constantly be on edge because it is his job to protect his King. "Am sorry", he said with guilt written all over his face, i replied with smile, i knew he could see right through me that but it was not like he could change the outcome. He took his keys and rushed out not even a kiss goodbye and left me to finish our anniversary dinner on my own.
"He did what?", "I know right. One would have thought that i would be used to him ditching me by now but hey, it still gets me every time", i replied drowning on a martini when i decided to meet my old friend Bianca for drinks at out favorite bar, The Dark Wolf, you get the irony? "Look, that man adores you, but this MIA habit of his is starting to get under my nerves, it's your anniversary for crying out loud, am telling you he is a spy", yeah ever since Bianca met Tan she has been saying that he was a spy and i don't blame her the guy has a powerful aura, but i knew better. When i was feeling tips i decided to call an uber for me and her and since i was the one leaving further away from town for obvious reasons we dropped Bianca first and then i was last. I prepared my bubble bath and switched off my phone. I needed time to myself and i was not going to let him sweet talk me. The bath was amazing and i was having the time of my life until the bathroom door was broken down and in entered a very furious Hunter, you want to know how i know it was him? well his eyes were always gold. He scanned the bathroom for any hostiles and when he saw none, he approached the tub and pulled me into a hug with his nose on the crook of my neck taking in my scent to calm himself down. "Why is your phone off?", "Because i switched it off?", i replied with a question not sure what he wanted from me. "That is the only thing that i told you not to do, like ever", he yelled making me push him away which he didn't move, not even an inch, damn werewolf strength. "I forgot, am sorry", i replied not looking in his eyes until i felt the sparks on my chin, he pulled me towards him gently and i met his pleading eyes."Am sorry i didn't mean to yell at you i just though something had happened and i panicked", "I know, am sorry i switched off the phone i was just angry that's all", and that did it. That was the way we always made it work, being open with our feelings towards each other.
