It's been more than a week since Lucian marked me.
I smiled thinking about it. Sure the day was horrible but it ended beautifully. I am not angry about it, instead, that's exactly what I wanted.
Somehow there's a weird feeling that's still following me. I have fallen sick around 3 times in the two weeks I have spent here and that's a lot for a werewolf as we generally don't fall sick this soon.
Lucian is with me but is somehow ignoring me. I feel so lost.
Sure Gwen is there with me but I feel like spending time with my mate.
I can sense Lucian getting distant from me and I don't even know why.
He's trying to avoid me but the mate bond makes it hard for him. He stays away as much as he can and then comes back to me when he can't take it. Then he repeats.
This is how the last week has gone by and now I'm fed up with this schedule.
I need Lucian to be with me and I'm going to fix it right now.
Tonight I've planned a dinner date for the both of us on our rooftop. It looks perfect with the mattresses, the fort, fairy lights and I can't wait for him to come back.
He has been away for two days but it feels like an eternity.
He made a trip to the human side of the state because one of our traders went missing. There was no information about the trader and it was worrying him, as well as affecting a lot of households.
The thing is, the moon goddess blesses our land with an ample amount of resources and we trade them with humans, using the money to rebuild and improve our lands.
As a way of thanking moon goddesses.
By the trader going missing, the families relying on the money were also suffering.
Turning off the water, I step out of the shower and walk over to my closet. The dress I had in mind was ready and placed on the bed.
I am not comfortable with the maids just following my commands and not talking to me because either they were scared or this is how they have been trained and it's their way of showing respect.
Slipping into the satin backless dress, I sit on the bed nervously. My body was shaking a little bit which I just noticed.
Suddenly, my throat started constricting as I ran to the bathroom to puke. With a lot of pain and a burning sensation, I puked my guts into the sink. But what startled me, was the puke was black, completely black.
Frantically turning on the faucet I let it flow and washed my face. I need to brush oh my god.
Grabbing the brush, I quickly apply toothpaste to it as I just have a few minutes left probably before Lucian comes.
After having the fastest brushing spree of my life I jump on the bed and let my hair loose.
I'm not applying much makeup so just foundation, concealer, sone bronzer, and setting spray. Wait how can I forget the lipstick. Grabbing the lipstick I pout my lips and color them with the beautiful nice shade.
Perfect.
Well, Lucian doesn't like to kiss my lips when I have lipstick on because he doesn't like its texture but he surely does praise my beauty. So I guess it works.
A knock on the door startles me and I open it.
Standing at the door, smiling at me was my handsome mate.
I quickly jump into his arms and hug him. Inhaling his scent, I kiss his cheek.
"Somebody missed me" he laughs and I laugh with him.
"Of course, I did" I agree. "You will be in a lot of trouble if you didn't miss me" I narrow my eyes mockingly as he shook his head.
"I think I managed to stay out of trouble" he laughs.
"Take a shower and get ready" I gesture at his clothes. That's when he takes my whole view in.
"We'll you manage to outshine me don't you?" He questions and laughs as I laugh with him.
"You better bring my cocky Lucian back"
"As you say your majesty" he fake bows.

After 3 glasses of wine, I and Lucian am finally cuddling on the mattress.
My heart feels content but my senses tell me something is wrong.
The black puke part was wrong but I'm trying not to think about it much.
"So you see" Lucian giggled. Some werewolves are more susceptible to alcohol than humans. Guess Lucian is one of them. "This one over there is my mom," he said with a sad voice.
He pointed to the brightest star of the night.
"Happy to meet her" I sadly replied.
"I think she is finally at peace." He smiled "now that I have you, I think she doesn't need to worry about me anymore" he looked me dead in the eye.
He looked so handsome right now, with the moonlight highlighting his face and the fairy lights making it look sharp as hell.
"I'm happy that you think that way"
"Thank you, Love," said Lucian, in a now serious voice. "Thank you for everything, thank you for coming into my life" he smiled.
I can't help but feel like crying. Never has somebody ever made me feel this way. Tears were on the verge of spilling so I kept my mouth shut and nodded.
He held my hand and pulled me on top of him.
"I promise I'll always be there with you" he smiled and started caressing my left cheek with his right hand.
On instinct, my eyes closed and I started feeling the warmth of his hand on my cheek.
This feels so good but a little weird.
"Love" he called me with serious sincerity. I opened my eyes to find his face right in front of me.
I took in all the details of his face, from the pimple on his big forehead to the way his lower lip curved.
He truly is gorgeous.
My eyes lingered on his lips as they started coming closer.
With a smash he devoured my lips with his, making me go weak in the knees.
With every passing second, the intensity of the kiss was increasing.
I am so grateful.
