CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

Leo’s POV

“What is your name?” I asked her as I patted her on her fur.
“Give me control. Stupid.” Jeff said impatiently.
“No.” I disagreed. Then I noticed Rose was beginning to shake on her knees and in a blink of an eye, she fell on the bed and blacked out.
“She needs rest. Shifting at such age takes a great toll on people.” Jeff said silently. I nodded my head in agreement as I covered her wolf with the blankets. I stood up and went to sit on the couch.
**MORNING**
I heard someone barked out. I groaned and slowly squinted my eyes open only to see Rose still in her wolf form and looking at me like I had just descended from heaven. I smiled a little and stood up. I walked towards her. It was so early in the morning and the sun was just beginning to rise.
“Good morning.” I cooed. She barked at me.
“Tell her to change back to her human form.” Jeff said.
“Shift back to your human form.” I said and she barked again.
“She does not know how to do it.” Jeff said like he was interpreting what she was barking.
“Teach her.” He said, more like ordered.
“Close your eyes and imagine being in your human form.” I said gently. She did as I told her. Nothing happened.
I narrowed my eyes on her.
“Again.” Jeff said.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“Okay, again. Calm down. Close your eyes and imagine being in your human form.” I said again and she did it. She slowly morphed back to her human body.
She was naked. I moved away from her and turned my back to her. I heard something like she was trying to cover herself.
“Leo.” Her voice came out choked. I walked towards the stool and carried the jug with a cup. I poured water it and stretched it towards her. She collected it feebly and drank it.
“Slowly.” I urged her.
“Thanks.” She said and wiped her lips. I collected the cup and placed it down. She moved up a little so that she could place her head on the headboard and she drew up the blanket to cover her well. I could still see my mark on her neck.
“For how long?” I asked.
“Huh?” She asked, obviously not getting what I meant.
“I mean yesterday night… And everything that happened. Explain it.” I said as I took a seat beside her on the bed.

Rose’s POV
************
I was super excited that I had finally changed but that too with pain. But come to think of it, how was it possible?
Everything still remained unclear to me.
Leo is asking about what happened yesterday. I guess this is the only way to know if there will be a future for us. It is high time I explained everything to him.
“It all started one night. I went out with few friends for an high school party. While I was drunk, I felt someone stab me with something but due to my drunkenness I could not see the person or make out what it was. Then few weeks later, I started having this tingling sensation in… in… erm… my core.” I hesitated for while.
“I did not take it serious at first neither did I know what to do so I just ignored it but it was already beginning to affect in such a way that I had to play with myself. My parents took me the hospital and the doctor told me that I was injected with a fluid that makes one’s sex drive high. My parents did not have the money, even if they had they would not waste it on me. So since then I have been battling with it. When I almost lured my foster dad into having sêx with me, my mom threw me out. And that was when I found myself on Alpha Damien’s pack ground.” I explained without looking at him. He shook his head and took my hands.
“Really sorry about that.” He said.
“What of you… Erm… shifting and like you had this blue light shining out of your eyes?” He asked looking at me. My eyes actually.
“I have never shifted before and also I don’t know what happened or how I shifted.” I replied and pulled my hands away from him. I don’t know why but it seems like there are some emotions I was feeling but they were definitely not what I was supposed to be feeling. I slowly slid down from the bed and stood up making sure that the blanket was totally tied around me properly. I walked towards the mirror and saw a bite mark on my neck.
Wait, Leo marked me? He really did. I smiled. I was too shy to turn to look at him.
As I gently caressed it, I shuddered and moaned silently. I heard him groan behind. I turned around to see Leo with his eyes on me. I suddenly became self conscious and fiddled with the tip of the blanket.
“I will leave you now. Come out when you are done.” He said hesitantly and walked out of the room, searching his neck nervously. Immediately he left, I breathed out and a smile crept on my lips.
First, I shifted.
Second, I got marked by Leo.
Isn’t it great?
But a thought crossed my mind and I frowned. He hasn’t mated with me yet.
I had better hurry to take my bath now. I hurriedly pulled off the blanket and ran naked to the bathroom.
I stood in front of the mirror staring at my reflection. My appearance already changed a lot. My amber eyes shone brightly with a somewhat happy emotion. My body build seem even more sexy. I smiled.
“Hi,” I heard a female voice say as I was about to press the toothpaste on my toothbrush. I stopped and looked around. I looked at every corner.
“Hello.” I said aloud. I heard a little chuckle. I strained my ear even more.
“Hello.” I said again.
“I am Halona.” I heard a small voice say.
“Halona? Where are you?” I asked?
“In your head.” She replied.
“Ohh… Wait… You are my wolf, right?” I asked her softly.
“Yeah, I am.” She replied.
“Ohhh, you know I have seen a lots of people who talk to their wolves. I thought they were only using to joke. How are you?” I asked her.
“I am fine. I am finally free. You don’t know how I felt being locked way from you.” She said and I could envision her facial expression. I smiled at her.
“You are with me now. Guess we could be best buddies.” I said cheerfully.
“Yeah. Sure.” She said excitedly and rolled her eyes.
Wait, rolled her eyes?
“How come I can see your facial expression?” I asked her like I was some naive lady.
“It is normal.” She replied.
“How come I was told that I was wolfless and that I could not shift?” I asked her as I stepped into the shower.
“I also don’t know. I tried my best to talk or get in touch with you but I was locked away. Far away from you. Somewhere very dark and I felt like I was placed under a some sort of spell. Could not talk or move.” She explained and I nodded my head in understanding
I turned on the shower and the water soon started pouring on me. I smiled satisfactorily and drowned myself in the pool of the wetness.
Coming out of the bathroom, I wrapped the sky blue towel around my body and walked out into the room.
Oh my goodness!
My clothes are still in my room and here I am in Leo’s room. I have no other choice than you wear his clothes. And besides, he is my mate after all. I smiled and opened his wardrobe. I picked out an oversized shirt and a pair of boxers. I looked at the mirror and saw some lotions on the drawers. I walked towards it and pressed some lotions on my palm then I rubbed them against my skin.
I guess there is no need for the ointment since the one that will always help me when I am in need of it is now with me. Halona chuckled at the imagination I had in my head. I smiled.
“Horny b*tch.” I said aloud as I wore the clothes. She chuckled.
“I want to talk to him.” She said softly.
“Are you shy?” I asked as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I packed my hair with one hand- it was not wet since I used a shower cap- and searched through the drawers for an hair tie. I did not see one but I saw a tiny rope. I took it and wrapped round my hair. It poured down on my back. I sniffed in Leo’s cologne and shook my head in delight. I could feel Halona moved a bit.
“I want to see him.” She said again.
“Okay, okay. I’m coming.” I said as I wore the clothes. I cleaned my face and looked at the mirror to see if I was presentable enough. Halona rolled her eyes and scoffed.
“Naughty wolf.” I said and walked out of the room with my hair jingling at my back.
