Mary's POV
I watched as Aldon and Alessandro walked back to the our house, both of them acting like 5 year olds but would act serious when passing other members of the clan.
I turned to meet Athan's gaze. He's too close but I actually don't mind.
"We should probably get going" I told him
He nodded shortly and led us back home. A lot of people bowed as he passed, thankfully ignoring me since they thought I was human.
Or so.
Athan still hadn't asked me about my powers yet. I was happy but also scared.
I smiled at a group of girls that greeted us, and kept batting their lashes for Athan to notice but he acted like they didn't exist.
I smiled inwardly at how he acted and felt somewhat proud.
Just like Alderman said, when you're with your blood, you suddenly adapt into their ways. Think, act and talk like them and that's exactly how things would get for me.
I took a deep breath as he opened the doors to our wing, leaving him to go shower while I make something he'd eat before going to his office to attend to the clan issues.
I put the chocolate in the freezer and mixed the batter for the pancakes. Pouring little batter in the pan as my mind marveled at the smoothness and how everything blended together as one, wishing my life would also blend and pick up the pieces again.
I waited for it to heat up before placing the frozen chocolate in the middle and poured another mix over it before flipping it. Once I made enough for him to eat, I heard his footsteps as I poured a glass of juice for him.
He entered the kitchen and took a look at the meal I made for him. My eyes went to the white long sleeve shirt matched with a black trousers and tie.
"I see you like the view" he said. I felt my face heat up and looked away quickly, suddenly finding the floor interesting.
He chuckled and kissed my forehead before sitting down to eat. I opened the fridge and got the icecream out before making way to sit opposite him.
I felt his eyes on me but I refused to look up and continued eating.
"What are you?" He asked suddenly, I felt my body stiffen. I would really love to tell him but I don't know how to.
I raised my head to look at him, he had a very calm look. I could feel his curiosity but I wasn't sure how he'd react.
"What do you mean?" I asked
"The night you came, the power you emitted was strong but you're human" he said honestly.
" I'm not" I said, avoiding his gaze.
" At least part of me is" I continued
He had a confused look on him that bothered me.
"It's something to show, not to tell" I said, feeling my eyes glow as Yelena slightly surfaced.
He nodded and looked into my eyes intensely, even if I wanted to pull away I just couldn't making me wet my lips with my tongue nervously.
"You done?" I asked, refering to his plate. He nodded and I took the plate to the sink and started washing it off.
I felt him come behind me. He held my waist and nuzzled his face in my neck, inhaling my scent.
"You scent like fresh vanilla" he whispered in my ears causing me to shiver.
He moved his face slowly up and down my neck before kissing it. At this point I was already finished with the dishes and I was slowly leaning into him more.
Okay maybe I just knew him recently but I couldn't deny the mate bond the wolf part of me had developed with him. Forelon clearly didn't consider this when he was making me.
He moved his head down to where my neck and shoulders meet,the supposed area where my mark would be.
Fuck no
"Fuck yes" Ignis sighed happily
He kissed it and my entire body went weak with heat and pleasure,that was going to be where he'd claim me and hell I'm not ready for that yet.
He kissed it again making me give him better access and a moan escape my lips.
I swear I didn't mean to do that.
Forget about not being ready, his thoughts were about not rushing me so I guess that was good.
He stopped and turned me towards him, my hands grabbed the sink behind me as we both stared into each other's eyes like it was the most interesting thing we've ever seen. He moved his eyes and looked at my face with intensity until they stopped at my slightly open lips where I had been breathing from.
I watched how his long lashes fluttered each time he blinked, how a piece of hair fell across his forehead, how he licked his lips, how stubble free his face looked, his cheekbones ,he's so handsome.
I removed my hands from the sink and slowly reached for his side. I slowly trailed them upwards until I got to his neck where I started tracing a tattoo on the side of his neck, almost similar to one of mine.
"You're so beautiful" he said huskily. I blushed slightly and licked my dry lips unconsciously as I felt the air grow tense.
"And all mine" he said before connecting his lips with mine.
I was shocked but quickly returned the slow and passionate heated kiss. I kept up with his pace, pulling his head closer wanting to enjoy the moment as it was my first. He groaned and nipped at my bottom lip for entrance which I gladly let him have.He deepened the kiss and I moaned, pushing my hands into his hair and tugging them lightly.
My entire body felt heavenly,like I was on cloud 9. I just couldn't explain the feeling but it only came around Athan.
If things are going to be like this between us then lying to him is not right. I have to pull him out of the dark cave into the brighter side of the cave.
