Elliot pov
I arrived at the hideout as soon as I could She was sleeping peacefully when I came in. the sound of her steady breathing was just music to my ear, her lavender smell filled the room. Her smell alone always makes my manhood rock hard.
My weight made the bed dip as I sat on it. I tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear to see her face. she is just perfect, to me she is everything I still can't quite grasp how I've got a mate but one thing I am certain of is I would never lose her again.
I placed my palm on her cheeks caressing it softly "let me out" Rex said loudly in my head. he has not officially met mae and that's because I wouldn't let him.
"Come on Rex, she's sleeping ...." I tried reasoning with him "I want out " he roared again "well if you wish " and so my aura changed so did my eyes I know how much he wanted to be close to her wolfs appreciated their mate whether werewolves or humans more than anything.
As I now reside inside I could feel the broad smile on Rex, it is like the most surreal thing ever, "I would protect you with my life," Rex said confidently with his cold voice but that was a bad idea as it woke Mae up.
She jerked back in fear as she saw Rex's red eyes
To make it worst Rex howled as he didn't like the fact she withdrew herself from his hold
"Come on Rex am coming out," I said with urgency Rex wasn't really happy to leave but we made the switch immediately. I could still hear him wailing like a puppy.
After my eyes went to normal and the heavy dark atmosphere cool down Mae was still trembling almost like a panic attack.
"Come on baby everything is alright" I tried to soothe her, and getting closer to her I wrapped her in a hug.
"It's over you do know I would never hurt you. umm?" I said roping her back to calm her down.
After twenty minutes or so, she calmed down and her heart rate went back to normal. "what are you?" She asked the only question I had hoped she wouldn't ask.
"Look what you did Rex," I grumbled in my head "just tell her the truth then" Rex snapped in my head.
She moved away and that caused another low growl, I need to control my growling.
She was getting scared again so I knew I had no choice but to tell her.
"Baby what I am about to tell you might sound crazy but I want you to believe me okay, " I said softly moving closer to grab her hands.
"You need to promise me you would be okay"
"Just say what you want to say," she said rolling her eyes.
"Okay....here goes nothing," I began taking a deep breath.
"First of all, you are my soulmate and... Oh my God this is so wired "
I swallowed hard then continued
"Okay, I am a lycan," I said as fast as I could.
now I was trying to read her face.
"Stop playing around Elliot it doesn't suit you " she stated sounding and looking upset.
"I'm being serious here",
"Okay, so you are a lycan, does that mean you are Vampire, or you for a fact work with the maffia is lycan a code name.?"
At this I couldn't hold back the laughter, I laughed so hard the look on her face was priceless.
"No honey, Lycan is not a code name it's who I am."
Her beautiful face started to grimace trying to understand.
"I am not human Mae, but a lycan and a lycan is like a higher rank of a werewolf which I believe you know." with a furrowed brow she tilted her head to look at me like an empty book.
"So you're saying you are a werewolf,"
"Well not exactly but let's start from there."
"Okay just to make sure I am not having a bad dream you are telling me you are not human and not to forget I kissed you," she asked as her breathing increased again.
"Yeah, " I answered with my brows raised.
She started experiencing another panic attack and before I could do something she passed out this is all my fault I knew she wouldn't handle it well.
I laid her properly tucking her in the duvet before I began getting our things ready unfortunately she fainted before having anything to eat. if by sunrise she's not awake I would have to piggyback her.
Picking up my phone I phoned Jedrek.
"Hey," he said over the phone
"Has everything been done as I ordered"
"Yeah your mansion is waiting for you in moonlake things over here are going not too bad but the sooner you return the better."
"I hope to figure out a solution soon, it's going to be harder to win her heart now that my brother has a fragment of it
Well you have always been the romantic one what do you suggest?"
"Just be your self you even have an advantage, she's your mate if not you who else can she love? And stop calling me a romantic it makes me look weak."
"Haha.." a dry laugh escaped my lips
"Okay, thanks I would do that."
Throughout the phone call, my eyes did not leave sleeping mae, just can't get tired of admiring her
"Well, honey when you wake up I wouldn't need to say anything cause you would see it yourself.
