After lunch, Ryan took Leila on a tour around the pack. They went back to the place where the warriors were being trained and she could feel her blood raising. Almost as if she was a warrior. At that moment, while they were practicing, it felt as though something was controlling her. showing her how to move with dexterity. With a clarity she had never experienced, she found herself move towards the warriors. Her movements not fixed or learned.
Fighting, blood thirst echoed through her mind turning her eyes bloodshot red, with her iris elongating into thin slits, when she transformed, she did not even know it. Everything came in small details, the breath, the positions, every weakness detailed before her. she moved and leapt, the arteries pulsing before her. within a few seconds, the warriors were laying down, panting and if she had not had mercy, most of them would be lying hurt. It confused her. lyra, her inner wolf was excited, almost like she had an aphrodisiac.
After she was done, she turned to look, and Ryan was standing there, flabbergasted. His blood was also roiling, shifting, he drew her and they raced forward into the woods. The strength of the wind as they cut through it, made her feel rejuvenated. The fresh air, made clean by the abundance of trees. She could feel her excitement mounting with every leap, Ryan, on the side was accompanying her. almost like her protector. The blood thirst on the other hand was reducing and her eyes becoming the usual clear color they usually were.
When they finally stopped, it was before a small clearing that contained water, more like a dam. Panting, they stopped there, Ryan started circling her, breathing down her neck. He felt the urge to rub his head against her neck. Looking at her eyes, he could feel her excitement. The only issue, was that they were yet to be connected in thought. Turning back into her human form, they both moved towards the lake and dipped themselves.
He held her close to himself, his body reacting to the sensual picture that she painted, laying on his chest naked. Her breast pressed against his chest, feeling them harden into sharpened points that poked at his chest. The rosy pink color dusting them looking even darker. He wanted her more than anything else, but even more, he was curious about what had happened back at home.
She had changed without warning, and the way she fought, as though she was a warrior, a lord who commanded armies. She knew what she was doing. Raising her chin to face him, he looked at her, her breath was coming out in short gasps. He dipped his head towards her and kissed her. the rest of the things could wait, for now just kissing. The two went on for a while and after a good swim, they moved to sit on the side, as the sun streamed around them.
In their silence, the nature around them created a serene atmosphere, making the place beautiful. The flowers around were brilliant, the bees flying towards them. The chirpings of the birds made the place ancient, and natural. A place away from the busy city.
“I have been meaning to ask you love, what happened back there with the warriors. It was almost as though you had changed into someone else.” Ryan asked as he stared at her.
Thinking back, Leila did not even know what had gotten into her. “Back there, as I watched them practice, it was as though they were beckoning me to fight. I felt my blood racing, desire to act. And then, their actions were as though happening in slow motion. I don’t know what happened, but I just followed my instincts. I am sorry for all that love.”
“It is okay Leila, thinking of it, it would actually be good if you could help train them to fight how you did. It was almost as though the place was a battleground, and you had a purpose driving you to fight. All this actually makes me think that whatever we said about you being the savior might actually be true. Otherwise, how do you explain such if you have never done it before. “
Breathing deeply, she moved to lay on his chest. “I know I can’t explain it all, sometimes it feels as though someone else is living my life for me, you know. Speaking of which, what do you think of your parents’ idea to get married. We should do that. If feels as though things are rushed, but I actually think they have a valid point.”
“Mmh, I know they do. But I did not want it to feel as though you are being pushed towards the same. I know that things have been happening too fast and I would not blame you if you said you were not ready. Though I have really been wanting to mate with you and you know holding it for so long is not good for me. Every time we have to stop halfway feels like I am gutter punched. Leila, will you have me for life, to love and be with.” Ryan said as he looked at her.
She knew that it was long due to be with this man. Besides, she had learnt to love him. A marriage would only serve to cement their relationship even further. Changing after a while, they moved towards the castle, and by the time they got there, it was already turning dark. Dressing, they moved to the dining table for supper. Everything had already been set, and it looked sumptuous. As they sat and had their meal, it was in good cheer. At dinner, they announced their plan on getting married, which was accepted in a celebration.
By the time Ryan came up, he found her already asleep. She slept curled on the bed, occupying just one portion of the bed, leaving the other larger part extensively unused. Sitting on his bed, he felt a headache beginning to form. The Victorians were becoming stronger. The presence of a healer had set them on a higher pedestal and now they wanted more. They wanted war. This issues really came at a bad time and he knew that he had to put his priorities right. They could not just keep on letting the Victorians push them around. They had to make a statement of power.Reducing his clothes to his briefs, he climbed onto the bed and held her in his arms. She was deep asleep, as shown by her soft snores. She turned and hugged him back tightly. This did make him feel important. Like she could actually depend on him. On the other hand, he was surer than ever before that she was the savior, they had all been waiting for. As fate had it, she was meant to be there with them, in this pack
Leila woke up nestled in Ryan’s arms, which now felt like steel. She could already feel the chirpings of the birds. And the smell of dawn. Everything felt invigorating. There was so much that was going on, and at a fast pace at that, but she was not scared, she felt liberated. Looking at Ryan who was now sleeping peacefully on the bed, she could not help but blush as she remembered what had gone down the previous night.Heartbeat increasing, she sat up and hid her face on her palms. She could feel his hot breath on her abdomen. Everything that went on last night had her rethinking her relationship with Ryan. The way his golden eyes had captivated her, drawing her into his world. The way he had moved up her body, tasting every part of her as though savoring a delicious dessert. The small kisses that he peppered along her body, making her shiver. Goosebumps developing along the path he trailed as his warm breath met her skin. Every time he had moved his lips from her skin
Ryan watched her as she walked down the aisle towards him. It still felt surreal how a handful of days ago, he had never even met her, but now, she was coming to him. They were to be united under the goddess of love, blessed to carry royalty in their blood. The path was lined with white pillars, on top of which there were vases of flowers. Each vase holding a mix of flowers. They all looked exotic, and he could imagine how carefully they had been sorted.But no matter how exotic they looked; they did not hold a candle to her. No, his Leila looked like an angel dropped from heaven. When he had heard that she was on the aisle, no, it was not heard, when he had felt her scent. His blood had started rushing wildly. Heartbeat increasing with excitement, today she would be his. Then he lifted his eyes slowly, which rested on the hem of her dress. The dress was long enough to cover her feet but the occasional rising of the dress as she walked allowed him to spot the leather sandals
“Hey, wake up Hun, brought you breakfast.” That was the sound Leila woke up to. She had been dead asleep for as long as she could remember. As the soft caresses of his voice entered her ear, she found herself trying to wake up. Her body felt like lead. Like heavyweights had been placed all over her. Leila’s eyes felt sticky as though they had been glued together using the strongest glue there is.Struggling to sit up, she heard herself groan as every part of her body resisted movement. As her eyes finally opened, first into small slits, and as the cold air passed through them, now fully awake. She started recalling. Yesterday had been her wedding day. Indeed, they had gotten married, but things did not go all through as they had expected.She moved her eyes to rest lazily on now her husband Ryan, who looked all fresh and crisp and wondered how it was that he did not feel tired. Yesterday had been so tiring, only being able to get some sleep in the wee
The biggest limiting thing for the current her now was that she could not understand the thoughts of the other members of her pack. Looking around her, she felt her heart thump, as that ominous feeling in her heart kept increasing. It felt as though something terrible would happen to her though she had no idea what.Her mind working clearly in a bid to make clear calculations towards the probability of her killing the healer, she underwent a berserk moment. Where all her thoughts were pulled towards one place. she had sensed a strong killing intent coming from that man that had silently appeared on the other side, at the same time, there was a familiarity that arose from her deepest parts.She could not afford to be sidelined at this moment, and therefore she made a decision that seemed unwise. She would attack everyone there. If she did eventually get to the healer well and good. But one thing she was sure of was that any chance she got, she should kill that man.
They were okay. The whole pack was okay. They then moved amongst the pack, looking at the casualties and thankfully, they weren’t as many as she had expected. Looking back, she couldn’t recall what had happened to the healer, but the Victorians had retreated. This time round, they had paid quite a huge price for the sake of expanding and yet they lost.The injured were collected and moved towards one center of their pack territory. It was at that time that she realized that the pack’s territory had been under heavy guard. They had machineries that protected the place even though they looked old-school. It seemed like even though it was in the twenty first century, the werewolves still preferred the fighting much more physically than using modern technology such as guns and grenades.The rush of adrenaline and the physical fights were much more exciting, besides, in as much they fought, they did not aim at exterminating their races. They were already f
His thoughts were in different places as he thought of what had happened back there. They had lost members of the pack to the attack. Thoughts of how there would be a blood bath once the savior arrived kept filling his mind, and he could not help but feel tensed. However, looking at her lying there, her soft snores filling the room. He knew what he had to do. There were in this together, and since the goddess of love had already foreordained him as the rightful mate to her, then he was capable in that aspect.After drying up, he slipped right under the blankets behind her, and cuddled her. things were okay for as long as they were together. Before long, whether due to accepting the fact that he was married to the savior or because of how tired he had been, he soon followed her into slumberland. In his dreams, he saw her standing there once more, the rain of arrows approaching her from all directions. This time round she was just a normal wolf, she could not stop the arrows as
Pulling away from her, Ryan took the food and started feeding her. “Open your mouth ah” Ryan said as he moved a spoon towards her mouth. Seeing this, she felt like a baby and in an effort to offset the discomfort took the spoon in her hands. Smiling softly, Ryan watched her take the spoon, something he was not prepared to let go. “Come on baby, open your mouth, I want to feed you.” Ryan said as he moved his lips towards hers and in a flurry of actions, she let go of the spoon.Laughing loudly, the two sat in an ambient environment, Ryan feeding her while Leila occasionally opened her mouth to be fed. It felt like they had known each other for ages despite only being in the company of each other for a period less than a year. After the breakfast, Ryan pushed her into the bathroom, where he helped her bath, but it was not just helping, the man was putting her body on edge.Every action, every intake of air felt like an aphrodisiac. Everything push
