Me: "When you say governance, do you mean you guys also have your own president?" He chuckled.
Zukile: "You can say that. But instead of one, we have 10. We call them The Counsel." I nodded. "Now my kind is the only kind that can have bonded mates. The others don't so they marry and be with whoever they want. Just like humans." Oh wow.
Me: "Really? But that's different from what I've read in novels." He smiled.
Zukile: "As I've said, most of what is written in those novels is made up."
Me: "Oh."
Zukile: "Yes. So because my kind is the only kind to have bonded mates, it makes us the superior beings because of the abilities we get through bonding."
Me: "But why is it like that?" He sighed thinking and then shrugged.
Zukile: "Don't really know. It has always been like that. It's all about fate and destiny. It's what the Gods have deemed it to be. Even though the other supernaturals have tried and failed in trying to fight against it, there's no changing it."
Me: "So...has there been a w-werewolf having a human mate before?" He shook his head.
Zukile: "No, never. That's why it came as a surprise that day when I met you and realized you were my life mate." He told me. "It blew everybody's mind especially The Counsel. They thought I was mistaken but I knew...and my wolf knew that you were ours and there was no way we were letting you go." I swallowed as my body shivered. "Even though The Counsel strongly advised against it, I started our bonding that very same day."
Me: "You did?" I asked surprised.
Zukile: "Yes. It was the only way I could appease my wolf since it was going crazy with wanting to take you-."
Me: "T-Take me?"
Zukile: "Yes precious one. Take you. Fuck you. Mate you." My heart increased and so did my breathing. "You must understand something baby. When my kind find their fated ones, there's no waiting. They make sure to mate and seal the bond because to us finding our mates is more than a blessing. It's everything that we've longed for from the day we were born because without your mate, your soul is not complete." He explained. "So when I found you and realized that mating you would have to wait since you were human..." He released a laugh and shook his head. "Let's just say, it was torture and hell." He told me. "To be honest, I don't really know how I was able to wait as long as I did because my need to take you and make you mine was just..." He shook his head... "it was too much. It nearly killed me." Wow.
Me: "Umm..." I bit my lip. "I-I don't know what to say." He laughed.
Zukile: "You don't have to say anything baby. Just telling you."
Me: "So...you said something about having abilities. What kind of abilities?"
Zukile: "Well...there are about 5 abilities and having them depends on how strong you are." I frowned not quite understanding. "Okay let me explain it in this way. Some are born with abilities, some only get their abilities when they find their bonded mates and there are some who never get to have these abilities even after they have bonded."
Me: "Oh."
Zukile: "Yes. So the more abilities you have, the stronger you are."
Me: "So from what you just said not all werewolves have all of the 5 abilities."
Zukile: "No one has ever gotten all 5 of them. Most have only 1 out the 5 and a few have 3. That is the highest."
Me: "So what are these abilities?"
Zukile: "Healing is the first and most basic one. Most of us are born with it."
Me: "Judging by how you healed my ankle that day in the forest, you have this ability." He nodded.
Zukile: "Yes, I do. Our saliva is what carry these healing potions." Thinking about that day when I had been shocked and amazed at how a wolf had healed me with its saliva and I had gone and blubbered all that to him not knowing he was the said wolf. I groaned inwardly. So stupid. "Telepathy is the second one. This enables you to read your mate's mind-."
Me: "Like you!" He chuckled.
Zukile: "Yes baby. Like me."
Me: "So not everyone who has a mate has this ability?" He shook his head.
Zukile: "No." Wow.
Me: "That's not fair." I said pouting. He patted my head.
Zukile: "Life is not fair precious one." I rolled my eyes.
Me: "What is the third one?"
Zukile: "Mental telepathy and only a few have it. The people who have this ability are able to communicate with their minds."
Me: "Oh my god! You again." He grinned.
Zukile: "Yes-."
Me: "But wait, I can also communicate with my mind with you. So does that mean I also h-have this ability?" He nodded.
Zukile: "Which should be impossible by the way because only the strongest Alphas have this ability and you're human and no Alpha."
Me: "Oh my god!"
Zukile: "My father and I are still trying to find answers as to how that can be possible. But we're doing it low key since we don't want people to know about you having this ability yet." Hmm. "People are still getting used to the fact that you're the first human to be mated to a shifter so just imagine what would happen if they knew about your ability?" He shook his head. "I don't even want to think about it so we need to be careful baby okay?"
Me: "Oh my god!"
Zukile: "Precious one-."
Me: "This is crazy."
Zukile: "Calm baby." He he brushed my back soothingly and shockingly I calmed. Yeesh!
Me: "Okay, tell me about the fourth ability."
Zukile: "Fourth one is called the dream telepathy. This allows you to communicate with another person while they are dreaming." I looked at him with my eyes wide open.
Me: "That was really you?" I asked in a whisper.
Zukile: "Yes baby."
Me: "Really?"
Zukile: "Yes." I swallowed as tears filled my eyes.
Me: "S-So that time when you were in my dream...the cake...the wish...t-that was really y-you?"
Zukile: "Yes." I closed my eyes as tears spilled from my eyes.
Me: "That was the first time."
Zukile: "First time what baby?"
Me: "F-First time t-that somebody had ever wished me a happy birthday and bought me a cake." A growl resonated from his chest as he pulled me to him.
Zukile: "I know my mate. That's why I said all your birthdays from that day onwards will be spent and celebrated with me."
Me: "I-I really had thought it was just a dream." He pressed his lips on my forehead.
Zukile: "It wasn't. None of them were. They were all real."
