Chapter 30
.
“In case of next time. Just say “Come on in Darryl,” Her perfect man said with a dashing smile to her. She turned around and saw him sitting on a tree casually but with a smile that popped out his dimples, he was dressed in a black T-shirt that showed off all his ripping muscles on matching black trousers which made him look the king of the night he was. Diana’s mouth was wide open and almost drooled at the sight of her mate.
He had been there for a while, it was only when she invited him in that the magical barrier lifted and they became visible to each other.
She couldn’t move herself from the spot, She stood there with every functioning cell of her brain floating away from her. She hadn’t expected his mere presence to rile up her insides so much.
” Come on little one, you shouldn’t be so shocked,” Darryl said jumping down from the tree with an amused smile, his electric blue eyes stared deep into her soul and she wanted nothing but to get lost inside the sea of emotions brewing in his eyes. Her brother and Howard had lied that vampires don’t have feelings but Darryl had expressed more than enough to her within a minute.
” Ohh Hi” Diana squeaked out awkwardly, raising her right hand to wave awkwardly at him. Before she could blink, he was already in front of her thanks to his super speed, he grabbed her raised hand and gently pulled her closer to him engulfing her in a warm hug.
” When have you been waiting for me?” Tears pricked every corner of Diana’s eyes as she soaked the warmth and comfort in his earthly cold body. One of his hands was the back of her head removing the hair tie, he freed her hair and ran his hands through her locks. A little moan escaped her lips at the touch.
” Just a little bit little one,” He said becoming lost in her overwhelming scent. There was a little difference in her scent now and when she was still Decanal and also, there was a hint of Howard and her brother’s scent on her which pissed him off but he swallowed his anger. He would get angry at those later, the moment is just for him to appreciate the presence of his mate.
” I missed you so much, so much it was hard living without you,” He said hugging her tighter, he took another moment to stare at her face before hugging her again, her little frame fit perfectly into his arms. That was the reason why he kept on calling her little one.
” I can’t believe this. You are real, you are not just the strange man in my dreams” she muttered into his arms. She sniffed his chest and tipped her toe so she could reach his neck also even though her heightened sense of smell was gone, she still wanted to savor the moment by committing his scent to her memory. He chuckled at her behavior, she was always like that but he had thought that was part of her wolf’s mannerisms. Decanal and Diana were the same thing so it makes sense if Diana was that way without the presence of Decanal.
” My little one” He grinned while cupping her face in his hands. He pecked her lips gently and she replied with a whine before staring at his blue eyes once again. He held her stare for a while before bringing her face closer to him once again and brushing his lips against her. Diana closed her eyes at the gentle kiss but that wasn’t what she wanted, she didn’t want gentle with him. She had lived so far away from him for so long that the last thing she needed from him was to be stingy with his touches.
So she in turn brought her hands up to his neck and pulled him closer intensifying the kiss until she heard a soft moan escape from him. It was unleashing, she felt something in her heart burst at the feeling, she couldn’t help herself but entangle her hands in his hair and he in turn fought her for dominance. He allowed her to show him just how much she had missed with her kisses and she obliged.
“Diana” He husked out stopping their kiss for a while just to look at her like he had never before. Her pants were music to his ears as he watched her chest heave and fall momentarily. He looked down at her like he was worshiping her with his eyes as the mate bond tugged at his heart controlling every of his actions.
” Have I told you how beautiful you are?” He muttered looking at the pure unadulterated desire for him that was plastered on her face. Only for him, no one else’s.
Her breath was stuck in her throat and she forgot how to speak for a moment. She opened her mouth but nothing came out as she stared at him through her lust-filled gaze. The mate bond had resonated between them and it was driving her crazy. Every touch on her body sent Sparks down her spine, the sensation was new but exciting to her.
” Even if you have, I won’t stop you from saying it again” She replied to him after regaining her breath.
” Little one” He whispered before bringing his lips to her neck once again, kissing down on the other side, intentionally avoiding where the infected mark was. He watched her squirm under him as he continued with his lovely kisses. Diana couldn’t help the moan that escaped her lips. She closed her eyes to savour every moment but by the time she opened her eyes once more, they were not in the forest anymore but inside his room at his mansion.
He had used his super speed to take them out of the pack lands straight to where only he would be able to worship his goddess. She gasped as she remembered the first time he had her pinned on his king-sized bed in the same position they were in at the moment. That was the same day he had marked her and her wolf had accepted it without any problem. But an infected wound stood in place of his beautiful mark on her neck.
He sensed her sad reaction and stopped kissing her immediately. He sat up and pulled her into his arms looking at the mark for the first time. Even under the nude bandage, the veins around the mark were black and they looked dangerous. He understood what it meant immediately. Diana was absorbing the venom of Howard’s wolf and she will continue to if she doesn’t complete the mate bond with him. She would soon start gaining his strength and he would end up losing his wolf and become an empty shell.
” He will die,” Darryl said with a cold torturous voice that incited a gasp from Diana. She instantly knew he was talking about Howard.
” What?”
” The one who marked you will die,” He said again.
” No, you won’t kill him,” She said facing him seriously, she sat down properly at folded her arms. Even though Howard’s actions were stupid sometimes he remained her friend and she wouldn’t want Darryl to do anything to him.
” Trust me little one. He touched what was mine, I would have been glad to do it myself but sadly that mark wilMark will kill him” He said pointing at a certain area on her body. Her hand instinctively went there. She was confused about the entire situation and couldn’t help but say how?
” When a werewolf marks a human being, their venom travels through the human DNA and affects it which in turn turns the human into a wolf slowly if the human is strong enough. Unlike Vampires who can turn as many humans as they want into a vampire, werewolves can only turn their human mates into werewolves by marking them. If the human doesn’t complete the mate bond, the werewolf would end up losing their strength and abilities to the humans and sometimes including their wolf. As the human becomes stronger, the werewolf becomes weaker and may die unless the mate bond is completed”
” So you mean I will become stronger but Howard may die because he marked me?” Diana gasped touching the mark absentmindedly. Darryl merely shrugged his shoulder.
” He had it coming. He should stay from what is not his in the future.” Darryl said coldly. Oddly enough, Diana felt bad for Howard but she never asked him to mark her he marked her against her wish. He sighed as she tried to get the awkward thought away from her mind.
” I can stop it though,” He said and her eyes became wide as saucers, she quickly demanded the answer from him.
” If I mark the exact spot, the venom will stop spreading but I can’t do that now can I?” He said and she sighed. If he marks her, everyone will know about her secret and she doesn’t want her brother to blackmail her again using Decanal as leverage. He can only mark her when Decanal is back to her body.
” Do you think that they could have noticed I’m gone already?” She asked taking his hands and fumbling with his slender fingers, he just stared at her like the most fascinating thing ever.
” I wish you could stay with me forever”
” I will, when I’m done with my brother and his little schemes and most importantly free my wolf from him.”
