“Tell me more about you:”, I asked Carter as we sat, cuddled on the couch in one of the living rooms. My favorite movie, Twilight, New Moon, was playing on the big TV.
“What would you like to know?”, he said.
” Tell me about your hybrid.” I told him.
” There isn’t really much to me. I am half vampire, half wolf, ” he replied.
” So, you sparkle in the sun like Edward,” I joked. He looked horrified at my question, and I laughed.
” Absolutely fucking not. This movie is so unrealistic. Sparkling vampires. Ugh”, he said, annoyed. I laughed. “At least they got the werewolves right”, he said, and I nodded. The werewolves on TV were really just as big as the ones I have seen so far.
“The director of New Moon was actually from a pack we just not too long ago visited,” he said.
“Holy shit”, I replied. That explains it. The realism of the wolves in the movie. ” What does your wolf look like?” I asked him.
” Would you like to see you, Angel?” he asked, and I nodded happily. He jumped off the couch and shifted midair. When he landed, a huge red wolf landed. He was about six feet in height, along with Carter and Seth’s wolf. His wolf was beautiful. His eyes were all black with swirls of red in them. His paws and belly were black as well. I reached out to him, and he licked my hand in a playful way. I petted his fur.
“Your wolf is beautiful, Jordan”, I said. He licked my face in thanks and I giggled. I kissed his nose.
“Can you shift back now?” I asked and he did. He was nude when he shifted back, and his dick was directly in my face. I couldn’t help the blush that set in my face as he did it. He looked at me smirking.
” My eyes are up here, Angel”, he said, and I looked up at him. His green eyes held a lot of lust in them, and whether it was the mate bond, or just the general attraction I felt for him, I could not help but be turned on. I felt very hot all of a sudden. He could smell it too, as he reached down and stroked my cheek.
” I can smell you”, he said, knowingly. My body felt hotter. His touch was soothing, but not soothing enough. I wanted more. I needed more.
“Jordan”, I moaned a bit, looking up at him, pleading with him to touch me more. I was not sure what was happening to me. He took a deep sniff again and his eyes turned fully black.
“Oh fuck. You are in heat. ” He said, but I could barely register the words. I just know I enjoy it when he touches me. It was like fire was just trailing inside of my body through my veins, and his touch was slowing it down a bit. He backed away from me and I whimpered from the loss of touch. I stood up, walking to him, but he growled at me to stop, and I did. His eyes were flickering, mind linking someone. Soon, Damien appeared through the door, and it was like the fire in my body doubled. It made me drop to the floor in pain. Why was it so hot in here? Is the air conditioner not here?
“I’m hot”, I said through the pain, holding my stomach, looking at Jordan. Damien walked past him upstairs. In my hearing, I heard water being run. Was he really going to shower when I was in pain this way?
“Bring her”, I heard him call from upstairs. Jordan bent down and lifted me up, bridal style. His touch helped the fire die down a bit.
“It hurts”, I told him as he carried me upstairs.
“I know, Angel. I will help make it better”, he said, kissing my forehead. When we got to the bathroom, Damien had just turned off the water in the bathtub.
“Put her in”, Damien said. Jordan looked at him.
“A bath, Damien. You know fully well, heat does not stop until she is mated and marked by all of us”, he said.
“Put her in the fucking tub. or would you rather she be in pain the whole time”, Damien said to Jordan, annoyed. I knew Damien did not want to mark me, and if that is what was going to have to happen to stop the pain, I was fucking doomed. Jordan sighed deeply and took off my dress before setting me in the cold water. It felt really good against my burning skin. My mind was hazy. All I could really focus on was Jordan’s touch and the coldness of the water. I did hear their conversation though, through my haze.
” You know fully fucking well I cannot mark her alone. This is something we have to do together”, Jordan growled at Damien. Damien leaned against the wall.
“Yes, I am aware of the process. So, fucking what? You know I do not want her as a mate, and yet I am supposed to be on board with marking her, just because somehow, she has a wolf’s heart. If anything, it has made me more cautious of her. How the fuck does a human have a she wolf’s heat” , he said to Jordan before narrowing his eyes at me. I could not stand him being here any longer.
“Leave”, I told him. I could not bear to look in his face any longer.
“Or what, human”, he taunted.
“LEAVE”, I yelled, with my voice almost animal-like. The entire mansion shook as I said it, and the mirror shattered. They both looked at the mirror before looking at me.
“Just go, Damien. I am an idiot for linking you. I will do my best to help her without you. Maybe Carter and Seth marking her will help her heat die away for now. ” Jordan said to Damien. I closed my eyes, not wanting to look at anything anymore. I just wanted to concentrate on the water, which was seeming to warm up. I could hear footsteps fading away and with it, the smell of Damien. He must have left the house. I opened my eyes as Jordan let out some water, before putting in more cold water.
“What is happening to me?” I asked him. With the cold water coming in, I was able to be more conscious of everything.
“You are in a mating stage called heat. There are two types of heat. One is to signify when a wolf’s body is ready to produce our pups. It comes once a month after meeting her mate. The other type of heat is the mating bond’s way of telling the mated pair they need to mark each other. In your case, it is strange that you have heat, considering the fact that you are only human, but I think it is the same. You have four mates and are not marked by any of us. Seth and Carter are on their way, ” he said. I nodded.
“Why can’t you mark me without Damien?” I asked.
“We were born under the same blood moon, at the same time. We share a soul. If I were to mark you alone, my mark would only be on you temporarily, but it would fade. In order for it to be permanent, we would need to mark you together,” he said.
“Why does Damien not want to mark me? Is it just because I am human? Does he hate me?” I asked. I knew I sounded needy, and I hated it, but something inside of me called for Damien, and through the bond, I could feel him calling for me too, no matter how much he didn’t want to admit it.
” He does not hate you, ” Jordan said, stroking my cheek. He kept cupping the cold water and letting it drip over my shoulders. ” I think Damien is confused more than anything else. I know he wants you just as much as we do. He is still fighting between what he was raised with and what he has now. If he marks you, everything he was ever told about humans will be forfeit. He will value you above anything he was ever told, and the mate bond will have fulfilled its purpose. I think he feels as if it will make him a puppet, and Damien does not like being controlled”, Jordan explained, and I nodded.
“Kind of a hypocrite, considering the fact that Ruby seems to control his stance on humans”, I said. Jordan remained silent, still cupping water onto me. The sound of two cars pulling up perked both of our attention.
“Seth and Carter are here. I am hoping their marking and mating will help you. I am sorry, I cannot help you, Angel”, Jordan said with sad green eyes. My heart went out to him. He was bound to Damien and could not do the one thing I could tell he really wanted. Mark me.
“It is okay, Jordan. I am sorry too”, I told him. I smelled them before I saw them. My senses seemed really heightened. The water in the tub was also warm again, and I could see Jordan going to turn the cold water on again. Carter came in at that same moment.
“No need for that, Jordan. We can take it from here”, he said, taking a big sniff. Seth was right behind him, doing the same. Seth came in and picked me up out of the tub. Without the cold water, and with the scent of all three of them in the same room, my body somehow went into overdrive. The heat was intensified more than anything else, and I literally felt like I could melt at any moment. The haze was back, worse than ever.
“Seth”, I whined.
” I know, Babygirl. Carter and I will make you feel better”, he said, carrying me to their room. The door closed and suddenly I was in between two of my mates, who, by the looks in their eyes, were going to devour me, and I was going to let them.
