Chapter 31

"Audrey." He muttered. Tears started to flow on my cheeks as I caress his gorgeous face. It felt like I haven't seen him in a decade again. Everything looks surreal."You're back."

"Yes. Yes I am Troy. I'm here with you as promised." I said and he started to cry. I smiled when his soft side started to show again. It is one of the million reasons why I love him. Our bond is inevitable.

"Your eyes." He pointed, "They're different."

I smiled at him. He must be shocked to see me in such good state. To be honest, I've never felt this way before. My senses are two times better maybe three, but the point is this feels like I'm living in a different body.

"Their gleaming, yellow." he said. "It's beautiful, could it be.." he added. I shook my head. He got to be kidding me. My eyes are brown and it's far from yellow.

"Stop with nonsense talking. We have to do something about your wounds." I said as I tried to apply pressure in his arm. This is not good. Any moment wasted can worsen the situation. I have to take him back even if this means carrying him from here.

"You're warm, sweetheart." He said as I tried to pull him up. I supported his left arm and applied pressure to the other. He's heavy and big. I hope we can get back there in time.

"Hang on tight Troy. We'll get through this." I said and he smiled at me. Perhaps I saw how much pain he is right now and I started to cry. It hurts more to see your mate dying than dying yourself.

"I can't believe you're with me again. I guess the moon goddess heard my plea. I-" he coughed blood. I need to get him back!

"Troy, Please stop talking. We will get there okay? You have to promise me you will get better. We will have the time of our lives. So please I beg you!" I cried and he smiled at me.

"If it's a request from you. I will." He said and we started to walk. Step by step, his body became weak and heavy.

The canopy of the forest is not helping. It was dark and cold. His heavy breathing and slow heart beat hunts me. Troy's life depends on me. I will never forgive myself if something bad will happen to him.

"Calm down, Mate." He whispered. I assured him with and odd smile. He must've sensed how nervous I am right now.

"Howl." he whispered.

"What?" I asked and his eyes looked at me.

"Howl. If the pack will recognize your voice they will come here." he said. "I'm afraid my body is too pathetic that a simple task like that would be fatal." he added.

"What do you mean?" I asked. "I can't howl Troy. That is a wolf-thing. We should be more aware of your welfare. Don't worry I'll get-"

"Audrey. I know you can feel it too. I bit your neck a while ago and I am aware of the consequences." he explained. His body collapsed on the ground and I squealed. “I’m afraid I have turned you into a monster I am.”

What is happening. Someone please...

"Howl." he said and a large amount of blood oozed from his arm. I panicked and applied pressure and ripped some part of my shirt to stop the bleeding. “They will know we are here.”

"What the heck!" I said panicky. Howl? how am I supposed to do that? Do I even know what it is? This is crazy. I can't do this.

I pulled him over in my arms and rested his body to my lap. The cold spiky ground scratched my thighs but it doesn't matter. I have to do something. I started to cry again. This situation is much worse! I'd rather die for his sake! I don't want this kind of ending. Please..

Scream with all your emotions..

I quickly looked around. Who is that? Am I getting crazy? The voice is so... Angelic. So pure. Scream with all my emotions? What does that mean? I'm lost.

Trust me.. Or another life will be lost.

The moment I heard the voice saying another life will be lost, the feeling scared the hell out of me. Like a bucket of ice is poured to me. Another life? Is it referring to Troy?

I looked at him. His eyes begin to get darker, lips that used to be pink are now white and dry. What makes me more nervous is his breathing, it wasn't as strong as before. His heart beat started to skip and his hands are getting cold. I have to do something or else Troy will die. This is not the time for doubts. This is a life and death situation. Please let me bring him home with me..

I howled and howled with all the strength I have. I howled with pain, sadness, regret until my hands started to change. My nails changed into sharp claws that could rip anything. I'm half changed into a werewolf. My canines snarled as I heard steps approaching ahead. However, the feeling of power did not last long. It happened just for a minute and then the last thing I know it's gone.

The human is dead. The wolf is alive.

I gasped for air and my breathing became heavy. That voice again, where is it? Who are you? What are you? Slowly, It's getting blurry. I saw a group of people running toward us. I'm drained. My body became heavy and unstable. I fell to the arms of man with the voice I'm familiar with.

-------------

I opened my eyes and roamed around. I'm in Troy's room. The dark colors told me so. My body feels normal, my thighs don't feel the scratches anymore. My arms and legs don't hurt. I saw Troy sleeping next to me and he's naked. His wounds are treated and his colors are back. Thank goodness he's fine. I will never forgive myself if something bad will happen to Troy.

I'm wearing the same shirt from a while ago. I don't feel comfortable anymore. I need to change or else I'll dirty the bed sheets.

I tried to stand up until someone pulled me back. It's him. I lay beside him and he grinned at me. I want to cry. No word can express how happy I am that he is safe and not to mention his energy. They all seem normal aside from his arms and hand.

"I love you." I said and he smiled at me. He pulled me over and he kissed me with gentleness.

His hands travelled from my waist and above. His touch sent shivers down my spine. The moment our lips parted he searched for my neck and kissed it. "Troy. You're just about to be dead a while ago." I said and he chuckled. He deepened his kiss that left red marks. His tongue licked my jawline below and moaned in surprise.

"Troy." I breathe.

"Please let me mark you." he pleaded. His husky voice melted my insides. I can feel the wetness between my thighs and he growled in delight.

He pinned me down to bed and spread my legs. I squirmed for the extreme pleasure I never felt before. He's naked and only the blanket are keeping our body apart. I'm wearing an oversized t-shirt and nothing more!

"Please." He moaned as his hard member pressed between my thighs. I moaned and feel his hardness grinding up and down.

"But your.. wounds.. they're-" He sealed my lips and another shot of pleasure travelled across my body.

"Healed." he said and raised my arm upward and secured them with one hand. He shove off the blanket. I blushed when I saw his naked body above mine.

"No...Somebody will.. ugh.." Another moan escaped my lips. As much as I want to cover them, I can't. What will I do if someone hears us?

"The door is locked. It's just you and me, alone." he whispered and I totally lost control of my emotions. "Please, Audrey." he begged.

"Okay.." I said and closed my eyes. Is this really the right thing to do? Am I willing to give up everything for him?

After all what happened today, the answer is clear. I don't want to let him go. I want him with me. I want to be with him forever and I don't want to lose him. Because losing him means ending my life too.

His left arm travelled around my waist upward and cupped my breast gently. He lifted my shirt and threw it away. He's now on top of me, skin to skin. His face is all red and sweating. This is my first time and I don't know how to react to the waves of pleasure on my body.

"You're beautiful." He said. My body bent over when his fingers touched my sensitive part. His hands gently rubbed my insides and I melted. His hard shaft goes up and down and I almost scream at the sensation it brings.

"Let me, Audrey."
