Julien carried me into the bathroom and turned to angle me in front of the mirror; not putting me down though. I turned to look in the mirror, seeing the bite very clearly. It looked just like a bite mark but not a scar; a part of my skin now, like I had been born with it.Absolutely beautiful; I wanted to touch it and feel like how when Julien touched it.This was the best way I could imagine the changing of my vision. The night I know it would have happened; the storm and the rain but now they had both passed. I suppose that this was my way of knowing Daven is gone; as he had to watch his death to know.I glanced at Julien through the mirror when I noticed he was listening to something. ''Your parents are home.'' Julien told me; shifting back his full focus onto me and I pushed lightly at his chest, to put me down now. ''Are you sure love?'' He asked though; knowing what I had wanted but checking. ''I should get dressed.'' Sure my mom would want to know how prom went; especially with us being back early. Even earlier but neither of my parents needed to know. Julien nearly pouted but let me down and held on for a moment; feeling a weakness in my legs but adjusted. ''Let me get you what you want.'' He offered and I held onto his hand that he used to held steady me. I thought for a moment, wondering if I should even attempt to hide the mark from my parent's; my mom. She would know something was different; feel it even if she couldn't determine exactly what it was. Julien knew exactly what I needed and I turned my head at him before a thought popped into my head. ''Pick something out for me; for bed?'' I asked him, and gave his hand a squeeze. Fine to stand on my own now. He managed to look both surprised and excited about the offer; I could only imagine what he actually wants me to wear, most likely preferring me to be with out any at all. A bit upsetting for him to not still be.Julien made sure I really was able to stand on my own before leaving the bathroom and moving over to my closet; I watched him from the bathroom but decided against waiting there with my bedroom door locked. ''A bra with straps please.'' I made my real only request; wanting the support of it again. He only paused for a few seconds but found the draw and pulled one out for me. I went to grab it and after putting it on I turned my back to him; needing his help for the back. Once he clipped it on I turned back to him; watching him continue his search for the clothes he wanted. Once he got me my underwear he moved onto looking in my closet; what shirts I had hung but I moved aside of him to open another draw, my tank tops and shorts in there. At least the ones for bed.He turned to see what I had done; looking as though I had grabbed something and was no longer letting him pick. I gave him a smile though; still going to let him. Which he did so just in time before my mother got up the stairs. Julien closed the draw after retrieving a green tank top and a pair of white shorts; some of my shortest ones too. I moved to the door once I got dressed after I heard my mother and watched Julien grab his bag before going into the bathroom; still shirtless. He grabbed the condoms after seeming to remember too. ''Pax, sweetie are you still up?'' She asked through the door; not knocking in case I had been sleeping. I opened it up; knowing she will sense both Julien and see the mark right away. Not going to hide it from her, besides I hadn't told her that mating is part of the process. ''Hey; yeah.'' I smiled at her; always happy to see her and maybe a little more then so because I felt like I was just in a good mood. Julien may or may not have something to do with it.She returned my smile and I saw her eyes glance at my neck; seeing the mark after a few moments. Her eyes then traveled behind me into the room and at the bathroom door where Julien is; changing and most likely waiting for us to talk. ''How was everything? You looked beautiful; Cordelia sent us the photos.'' Her question had a few extra questions within it; curious about the mark as well as prom and whether or not Julien and I enjoyed ourselves.My smile grew though at her question; having enjoyed the whole night, every second with Julien. Not just the mark that brought us closer together. Rachel only slipped into my mind for a moment; easily forgotten when remembering how good everything else was. ''It was really good, I may need help with her dress later; we got caught in the rain.'' I told her, still feeling tired from the magic I used earlier and combined with just having been with Julien. She nodded as her eyes landed back onto mine. ''It looks like it's been there forever.'' She commented now, noticing that too as I had. I nodded though; only able to agree. ''We brought home food if either of you get hungry but I'm gonna head off to bed; I love you and I'm glad you had fun.'' I gave her another smile but declined the food for now. But I would offer Julien some and hopefully I would catch my dad in the morning. Wanting to not disappear on him but it was mainly him who was not around. Still busy with this new client on top of all his other normal clients; the easy ones like renovations rather then a whole new house. We said our goodnights and as she headed into their bedroom I reclosed my bedroom door; not locking it again. I knew Julien and I wouldn't be mating again tonight even if the thought was alluring.I moved away from the door and onto the bed; fixing it slightly before settling in the middle to watch the bathroom door, waiting for it to open and Julien to come back out. I moved to sit up though; trying to be patient as I crossed my legs. However I could only be patient for so long and reached forward to grab the bag; the one that I assumed had my surprise- or rather my surprises, I noticed as I opened it up and looked inside. Seeing a mix of several chocolates and snacks ; remembering my sweet tooth. I smiled to myself before looking up at Julien; having heard the door open and there he was standing there. Changed out of his suit pants and still shirtless; I swallowed, impossible for my eyes to not travel down his body. His perfect abs; able to see every single one and... I stopped myself as I felt the mark tingle; wanting him again, right now. He leaned against the doorway and looked to my hands; seeing I had looked into the bag, his surprise. ''I wanted to make sure I got something you liked.'' He told me as he rested his head on the door way; watching me again with those adoring eyes. Feeling like I could melt under his dark blue gaze.I nodded and smiled again as I looked down at all the options. Finding it amusing as to just how many he had gotten for me; ''They are all good.'' I told him but set the bag aside to move forward and extend my hand out for him. ''Come lay with me.'' Maybe my sweet tooth would kick in later but all it want is him right now. It was in this moment that I realized I could sense his wolf more then before, his energy even stronger. A little easier to read.Julien smiled and pushed himself to fully stand again and move away from the bathroom door, coming over the side of bed. Instead of laying down right away he scooped me up as he kneeled onto the bed; picking up to nearly lay fully on him once he laid too. I giggled and gave him a smile as he looked up at me; settled and smiling already. His hands linked on my lower back but he quickly moved to hold onto my sides; not seeming to find a good spot on my body, wanting to touch me as much as possible. Now that we have been as close as we could; it seems that it isn't enough to just touch. Once again I found myself wanting him again; easily doing so. I pushed gently at his chest and moved to sit on him instead; both trying to tease him well also not doing so. He grabbed ahold of my waist; holding me still and smirked. His thumbs caressed my skin; not covered by my tank top. Before I let my mind wonder too much on taking it off for him to be able to touch more of my bare skin; I thought again about the window, about Rachel and not knowing how to defend myself. Julien wants to have wolfs watch the house when he isn't around, speaking of which; ''What's the next step for me to become Luna?'' I asked, remembering this being a step as he has said. I crave to really be his Luna; his second and for everyone who can know to know. ''You already are my Luna.'' Julien reached up to trace his knuckle over my cheekbone before moving his thumb to trace my bottom lip. Trying to distract me from what actually needs to be done; wanting to enjoy this moment. Getting easily distracted by me. I grabbed ahold of his hand though and shifted on him; grabbing his full attention again as both his hands found there way back to both sides of my waist to hold me once more. He flashed me another smirk before he settled into a smile and shifted us both as he laid flatter; able to feel him slightly pressed against me now. ''We call a pack meeting;'' He paused to groan slightly; aching but continued. ''And my wolf will accept you, followed by the rest of the pack.'' I glanced down at his chest; feeling if I was a wolf too, it would be different. Somehow; although I wasn't sure how. ''What are you thinking love?'' Julien asked and I looked back at him; wanting him to not have to miss out on anything because of me. I bit my lip at a horrible thought that appeared suddenly into my mind. I will never really be his second; his Luna but not in the same way he would have with a she-wolf, even what he has with Alex.He turned his head at my silence but flipped us so he was hovering over me; concern on his face as I looked up at him, letting my legs relax against him. ''You deserve a she-wolf.'' Julien's eyes flashed to those of his bright blue ones; a level of anger quickly washed over him at my words, going just as quickly as it appeared but his words made it clear. ''I deserve you.'' Firm; his words almost like a scolding, knowing he had said even without expectations I had exceeded them. The rarity of witches making it fairly clear he had some thought of getting a werewolf mate. ''And so does our pack.'' He added and made sure I kept eye contact with him. I tried to find my own truth in his words; feeling like even the mark was trying to too but it still felt like I could be better for him. Julien absolutely amazing, even if he was just a human; he is still an incredible creature. He leaned down to gently place a single kiss on my lips; leaving me wanting more as he looked at me again. ''Every inch of you.'' He raised his eyebrow as he glanced down my body. I naturally arched up at him as I shifted lower and licked my bottom lip. Every inch belongs to him too. ''Teach me to fight Julien; like you.'' I requested; having been thinking about it after Dean mentioned, well before then too but clearly I should. Something to it with everything. Humans, witches; wolves and hunters. Julien turned his head at my words; a sudden change to the conversation. I hadn't planned on asking but I wanted to. Going to come out sooner or later. I want to have my magic when I master it and a more certain way; beyond anything I may feel I could still have a back up. Instead of arguing with me he looked down for a moment; maybe understanding why I'm asking and most definitely knowing I could use it. Not just Dean who put the idea in my head; nor the only one who thinks I need an army of werewolves to protect me. Even against a human. ''Okay...'' Julien finally spoke but let himself trail off; still thinking on it all. ''I want to be the first person you call if you even think you are in danger.'' His eyes found mine again and there was no room for question in his tone even if I had planned on doing so. I nodded though. ''Even before I knew what our connection was; I was calling you for help.'' No doubt there; the mark I'm sure only going to intensify that and well just about everything else. ''You should let me teach you to fight with your magic.'' He smirked a bit; that added bit seeming to make him excited about him teaching me suddenly but I wasn't so sure that could be done. ''I want to fight like you; be strong in that, even if I can't really.'' I knew his strength was his own and not to be matched or even compared to. Julien nodded before leaning down to kiss my cheek. ''I'll teach you whatever I can.'' Then placed another kiss onto my other cheek. Matching kisses as he moved down to kiss each side of my jawline. My eyes fell closed as he gently placed his soft kisses onto me; a small breath escaped my lips, easily enjoying such simple actions. Simple but so meaningful. ''Julien.'' I spoke his name softly. Melting under him. ''Yes love?'' He asked, another way of telling me to use my words; a requirement of his it seems. Not entirely complaining. I opened my eyes to look back at him as I felt him lean away; pausing for my words. Although that wasn't the reason he had pulled back as he appeared to have more on his mind now. ''You should get some sleep.'' As if he was having a conversation with himself; suddenly coming to the realization, much to my disappointment.Which was short lived when he pulled away and moved from above me to pull me into his arms to hold me. Cuddling me now, not what I had in mind but still nice. Not sure on the change since I was clearly enjoying myself; knowing that both him and his wolf knew that. Julien nuzzled into my shoulder blade and held onto my waist; breathing me in as I knew his eyes fell shut now, not needing to see him to know he was now enjoying himself. Having been before but in a different way.I smiled to myself before moving closer against him and closing my eyes too. With them shutting I used a tiny bit more magic to turn the lights off. A perfect end to a perfect night; being held by my mate, finally fully mated and that felt solid to even me. The only thing I wish could have been different was to feel it like Julien must have; having been the one meant to do the marking. I fought sleep for as long as I could; wanting to soak up as much of him as I could; knowing we can not spend every second together, even if I wanted exactly that. Taking him to school with me had a certain appeal; not sure I could learn with him in the same room though. Not sure how to explain the new bite mark on my shoulder if anyone other then Dean asks. Not exactly a scar but maybe that could go unnoticed like most things about me.Drifting off soon after he began to trace small circles on my hip and stroked my hair. Julien couldn't keep the visions away however; not sure if he had helped with no fear or any emotion at all. My vision had taken form in flashes this time; not quite in reach but forming, that I could feel. Something stirring in me that wants to come out; whether to warn me or inform me I couldn't tell just yet.The flashes that of a wall; a large book case with books but not just any bookcase, filled with grimoires. The only feeling felt was the magic that they held. Nothing about the room recognizable but I had never seen Julien's room before seeing it in my vision. That of flashes too; like the ones that showed all kinds of things that held Julien, too bad Julien wasn't felt in this one. If only he had been; it would have made me feel less uneasy about it. I blinked awake; feeling the sunlight in my eyes, that and the confusion of my vision. The flashes less favorable then getting some sort of emotion paired with it. Whatever it may be; at least I can understand it. At some point; I had moved to lay on him, laid on his chest and my leg draped over his. I quickly reached to feel my neck, hoping that everything that happened; really happened last night. I let out a sigh of relief; his. Upon hearing him stir slightly, I glanced up at him. My sigh waking him up. His hold on my waist tightened slightly; managing to hold me even in his sleep. Or rather holding me to know that I'm near. His eyes found the spot; where I had my hand over it, not quite able to feel it but sense the magic within it. He smirked, getting me to smile before I looked down and turned to lay on my back; his arm moved with me to remain under me. My sigh was now that of content; very quickly forgetting about my confusing vision. Forgetting to mention it to him too when he moved down a bit and kissed my stomach. ''Good morning.'' I felt him smile when he pushed my shirt up ever so slightly; exposing my skin to place another kiss. Thinking of a few ways now that we could make the morning even better; not having thought about it prior to this morning. ''I don't think there could ever be a bad morning when I wake up next to you.'' I told him staring up at the ceiling; glancing at him though, really just enjoying to look at him. He made a noise of agreeance but moved atop me; hovering over me and partly between my legs as he glanced down at me now. A small smile on is face. ''Never.'' He nodded now and agreed aloud before leaning down; an arm on both sides of me, kissing me gently before moving back to look at me once again. ''You are absolutely perfect Pax.'' He nodded again; hard for him to believe such a thing, like how perfect he is. I couldn't help but return his smile with my own; far larger at the compliment. The way he sees me making more and more of an impression. Even starting to view myself different; far from perfect but something.I reached up to cup his face the best I could with my hands; small compared to him. The second kiss I had wanted was halted as I gasped; flashes forced into my vision as It blurred between Julien and that wall again. Some force was pushing me to see it; another one that needs to be seen. I wasn't sure if it was me with Julien or just Julien being around but he was challenging my attention. His concern pulled me back all at once; blowing the flashes away with his words.Now he was cupping my face as he had moved above me more; not trying to disrupt me or my visions but It must be a worrying sight. ''What do you see Pax?'' His voice was filled with fear; my other visions not great, not wanting another repeat of Daven and the visions that came with him. Not wanting that myself but I wasn't sure what I was seeing.I took a breath; still not fully recovered from my magic use yesterday and lately in general. Not having much experience with spells and the power that werewolf's have. Not to mention the amount of visions I've had, not exactly controlling them. ''Just grimoires; a-a wall.'' I told him; despite not having anything real to go on what it could mean or lead to. Julien released my face, moved to get up and away from me; this is why I dislike my visions so much.That and how unclear they all seem to be; unless Julien is apart of them.Now he's worried and I have to suffer with less of his attention. I watched how his back muscles moved as he walked; moving to get a shirt from his bag that he had placed on my chair by the window. More disappointment for me; no longer able to see his chest, which I do recall him saying I could look at whenever I wanted. ''Julien.'' I called his name; not wanting him to jump into any werewolf alpha mode when I wanted his attention, or even for him to remain in the bed with me. He halted once he put the shirt over his head and fixed his hair slightly; doing a small jostle that somehow made it look even better. He looked at me as I sat up in the bed and turned his head; seeming to realize what he had done. ''Your visions just worry me.'' He told me and I nodded with a bit of a shrug. ''They worry me too.'' More so when I see them and can not get anything to actually help to understand; for both our sakes. Julien sighed and moved back to the bed but kneeled beside it; in front of me before grabbing ahold of my hand. ''I will do everything in my power to make sure no harm comes to you; from your visions or anything unseen.'' Julien told me; making it sound like a vow and a promise. His words needing to be true for his sake. Then he kissed the hand he held, trying to will it as something that will happen. ''I know you will.'' He already has, without ever needing to be asked. Doing so much more then I had known and he had a whole pack behind him. Which would soon be behind me too. Exciting me now more then it brings fear. Julien's pack would never reject me; Julien a clear show of that. My alpha now too. That thought mixed with his promise of protection had me smiling. The worry of my vision not quite there yet as I have no feelings; no fear to go off of. ''So, what's on the agenda today; alpha?'' I just couldn't help but add it; knowing he must know that too. The mark making me more then his Luna and I was sure that me saying those words would grant some sort of reaction. He let out a breath as he raised an eyebrow before speaking, "That's a dangerous game." He told me but I turned my head as our hands rested on the bed. A dangerous game? ''Dangerous how...alpha?'' I smiled, unable to help myself and although I expected a reaction; I didn't know how much of a reaction I would get. He must have used his speed; able to get not only onto the bed but over me once again, barely able to see his movements. Hovering over me as he grabbed ahold of my waist with one hand and lifted me ever so slightly to hold under my back; his hold on me clear that I'm his and certainly not going anywhere even if I had actually wanted to. I giggled once he settled- nuzzled into my neck; placing a kiss on the mark before growling, no longer scared by it. Julien and his wolf were letting me know that I'm his; that I excited him. He grinded into me; wanting me again and I felt myself ache for him. I moved with him; enjoying the feeling and pushed into him, only making his growl louder at his enjoyment. I looked between us as he reached down to move between my shorts before going into my underwear and felt I was already wet. Easy with him around and on top of me; just his growl was enough but so many other things as well. Just before I could let out a moan as he started to move toward my entrance he captured my lips with his. Muffling the sound and the other moans that I couldn't control as he played with me; able to do anything he wanted and it felt good. Dangerous indeed; wanting him now, right now. I reached between us; stopping him as he looked to see what I was doing. He wouldn't be the only one who could play.However when I reached his pants to pull them he grabbed ahold of my hands and pulled them over atop my head; holding them there as I took a breath, surprised by his sudden dominance. The darkness in his eyes. ''Mine.'' He growled at me before moving to hold my hands by the wrists with just one of his to reach back down and swiftly returned his hand into my shorts. His mouth opened slightly as he looked me over; close enough to peck his lips with a kiss, even if he wanted to be in charge. Take control to do what he had wanted; or maybe his wolf. At my kiss; my clear defiance, he stuck one of his fingers inside me and I arched as I closed my eyes. Maybe if I kept going I would get him, I ever so slightly shifted my wrists in his hold but instead of going further he stopped to look at me.His grip on my wrists instantly loosened; releasing them as I felt some panic. ''Was I holding you too tight?'' Julien asked quickly and slowly removed his hand from my shorts. I nodded though; having been gentle even with his want to dominate, which I was enjoying very much. ''I was personally enjoying myself.'' I told him, my voice a bit low at his tenseness; already in his head about what he thinks he has done but an attempt to ease the mood. Julien did not appear to believe me and grabbed ahold of my wrists like I was glass to look them over; which I found myself doing too, nothing to show he had hurt me but then he looked to where he had held my waist. Unfortunately there was a small mark; where his thumb had been as he put his hand over it, where he had held me. Not just this morning though. He sighed and I caught ahold of his shirt before he could fully move from above me; letting me stop him from pulling away this time. ''You did not hurt me Julien.'' I also would be calling him Alpha again; after all he does call me Luna. His reaction fun when he isn't worried about something he did not even do.He remained above me unconvinced though, not even touching me anymore. I sighed myself and lightly pushed at his chest, my turn to get up now; Julien moved onto the bed and watched as I got up. Letting out a sigh of my own as I moved to my closet; going to change and get dressed for the day. My want for him quickly disappearing as his want did. ''I want you to start training me.'' I announced, meaning today; soon. I'm not going to break and I had to prove that to him somehow. ''I don't think I should be training you to do anything when you are upset with me.'' Now Julien spoke a bit quite; still sure in his words as always. Just as sure as he was of hurting me and ruining a perfectly good moment. I searched for something that looked not obvious of any physical activities but also be able to move around. Not totally sure what to except. I've never wanted to learn to fight but now I think I'm going to have to. ''I think I could use the fresh air; training or not.'' I put my shirt over the tank top I already had on before taking my shorts off; as I moved to pick them up, I heard Julien get off the bed and make his way over to me now. ''Pax.'' I paused in my movement but didn't turn to face him; my lip quivered, feeling rejected by his actions. ''Luna.'' Julien called to me again; a bit louder but softer this time and I finally turned. He grabbed ahold of my face upon seeing me; making me look up at him. Still feeling him being extra gentle with his hold. ''I know you won't break; okay? I just can't hurt you either; I couldn't handle it.'' He told me, looking straight into my eyes. I nodded; understanding but still feeling a bit rejected after being in the middle of something and it just suddenly ending. Even after an explanation. ''You are the one who told me to use my words; I used them and you ignored them.'' I told him; trying not to pout about it but very easy to do so with how he was looking at me, truly wanting to know how I'm feeling. Julien nodded before speaking; ''I'm sorry; I'm still trying to learn everything, the right ways to do things. I- you know I love you Pax and very much want you it's just how much I want you that scares me.'' How could him wanting me be scary? Were mates; mated and I very much want him too.Instead of using anymore words I grabbed ahold of his hands on my face and pulled them away to move closer to him; hugging him. I want him so much but it's not scary; it's exciting with him being mine, being right here and wanting me too. ''It's not like you can want me too much; were soulmates Julien.'' I tried to remind him as I rested my cheek on his chest but the hug didn't last very long as he pulled me back to look at me once again; looking very much in doubt of that. ''I don't think you understand what I mean by want Pax; if it were up to my wolf, you would never leave that bed.'' I felt my face heat up at his words; the meaning behind them. Part of me wanted to tell him to never let me leave the bed. More then willing to enjoy every second of it too. ''And you?'' I found myself asking with a swallow as I felt brave enough to look straight into his eyes again. What did he want; was it something he enjoyed as much as I did? Julien smirked; finally seeming to be over what was upsetting him. ''I- think about you and your visions; how I can use them to prevent anything from...'' Julien seemed to trail off in his own thoughts as he brushed some of his loose hair back; knowing so many horrible things that could be done. Not just to hurt him but to hurt Pax; even if it was to hurt him he did not want anyone, especially his mate to be collateral for anything- any reason. Daven not the only one capable and for more reasons then just being crazy; revenge or power. He would give up everything if it meant Pax would be safe and unharmed at the end of the day. ...To Be Continued In The Next Chapter...
