Chapter 3

*Isras POV*

I awoke to the smell of something mouthwatering. I also noticed Blake was not near me and I let out a whimper. "I'll be back soon beautiful until then please stay put." I heard my mate call in my mind. I giggled and wagged my tail. I stumbled out of his bed and decided to explore the room, surely "stay put" meant don't leave the territory. I nodded at my logic and padded off into a smaller room across the bed. I see a ton more of these "shirt" things hanging, some were similar to the one I still wore, some had long arm holes on them. I picked a white long arm hole one off the wall. I struggled to get in on over my head. I looked at the full-length mirror. No matter how many times Blake tells me I just don't see my human form all that appealing.

I lowered my ears and stared with intensity at my reflection. I noticed my face first smooth consistent color no blemishes, I stared at my chest my breast were pushing out against the shirt tightly, I let my eyes wander down to my small waist that flared out to my hips and thighs. My human form looked as though it had some muscle to fight if needed. I noticed when I first met Blake he towered over my small frame if I had to guess he was near 6'10 in height. I only stood at 5 feet tall.

I walked away from the mirror and opened the door of Blake's room following the mouthwatering scent I woke up to earlier. I heard a sizzling sound coming from the tasty snack ahead of me. I quietly opened the door, just a sliver, and tilted my head out and sucked the air into my nose.. The smell was even more intoxicating. I walked out, shut the door, and lightly pawed my way down a winding staircase. Immediately my eyes watered as the sunlight from the stain glass hit me painfully. I curved around the stair-rail base and moved into a kitchen through the greeting arch.

I ran closer to the scent and crashed into a male I did not recognize. "Pardon us we did not mean you harm." I mumbled and tried to maneuver around him. "Well hey there gorgeous where did you come from? You don't smell like us." He said smirking at me. I saw he noticed my ears and tail and opened his mouth in shock and shook it off quickly. I saw him glance down at my chest and I subconsciously started to cross my arms over my chest. "Yo Bradley leave her alone trust me you don't want to go there." I heard Tyler step in behind the man I figured was Bradley. "Come on bro I'm just playin besides she's not our pack and I don't see a mark on her." Bradley said looking down at me he also towered over me but not as drastically as Blake does. He had brown eyes and dirty blonde hair. I didn't find him nearly as attractive as Blake. "Mark?" I ask dumbfounded. Bradley reaches out to touch my tail but before he could make contact the room was filled with a low yet distinctive growl.

"DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT TOUCHING HER!" I heard Blake snarl to Bradley. "Mate!" I said cheerfully running to tuck myself under his arm. I breathed in his scent instantly feeling safe and secure. "Oh shit Alpha I didn't realize she was yours." Bradley spoke cowering away from Blake. Even I could physically feel his wolf's anger. Blake walked over to him and put a tight grip around his throat and lifted him a few inches from the ground. "If you ever touch her again I will kill you as slowly and painfully as possible." Blake growled and instructed Tyler to get him out of his sight. He looked down at me. "I told you to stay put." He growled lowly through clinched teeth. "We apologize we smelt food and became excited." I paused and added "We also thought you meant to stay on the territory." I smiled at him and he seemed less than happy. "COME!" He commanded lifting me up over his shoulder.

*Blake's POV*

"So let me get this straight you left because you nose was leading you to bacon?" I asked her slowly making sure I understood why she disobeyed orders. I sat her down gently on my bed. She nodded her head and looked down at her hands nervously. "What is it?" I asked her my wolf was feeling anxious that we may have gone overboard yelling at her. "She's sad because of us." My wolf whined to me. She disobeyed us, the Alpha I replied. He shut up after that.

"What is a mark the male spoke of earlier?" She broke the silence and tilted her head up at me. Fuck me I thought to myself. "That's exactly what'll happen when you let me show her" My wolf purred back into my head. Oh no you don't, you will not mate with her, not tonight! she's obviously new to this. I replied to him in complete shock of him taking control of this situation. Though fucking her sounds appealing to my human and wolf side, I had to be rational something my wolf failed at daily. Isra seemed to notice the internal conflict and whimpered. "No babe, it's not you. You didn't upset me I'm just surprised you don't know what a mark is." I said rubbing one of her ears softly.

"She's not human remember!" My wolf growled to me. Shit, he's right with her not being human there'd be no need for the mark since it's not really visible in a person's wolf form. While in human form other werewolves can see the mark on mated werewolves clearly displayed on their neck. "Well babe a mark is like the physical sign of being mated. It's visible on the neck." I tilted my head and pointed to where the mark would potentially go.

She still looked utterly confused. "How does the mark get there?" She asked putting emphasis on the word mark as it was clearly foreign to her. I stopped rubbing her ears and grabbed her chin and tilted her face up away from me giving me clear access to her neck. I leaned in and took in her scent that sweet lavender and honey smell was causing my wolf to go insane with lust. I licked lightly over the spot and kissed it. She let out a low growl, I could see she wanted to shift. "MARK MY MATE NOW!" My wolf growled. I pushed his thoughts out and pulled back from her.

"Please tell us what we did wrong why did you stop?" She pleaded looking genuinely hurt from the sudden lack of physical attention. "I don't want to hurt you and I haven't even introduced you to the pack yet as the new Luna." I responded pulling her face to look at me. "As what?" she asked looking now very out of it. "The Luna, you know their alpha female." I replied looking at her. Her mocha skin looked like it was going pale.I released my grip on her face. "Luna" She whispered softly.

I saw her eyes start to tear up and suddenly they glowed a pure bright white. I backed away from her. There was a sudden wind starting to swirl around her and her hair was being lifted in response. "ISRA!" I yelled at her trying to get her out of this sudden trance. She looked at me and her eyes cleared back to their normal green and the wind swirling stopped. I wiped away her tears, she grabbed my hand and shook her head. "What?" she asked. "What just happened to you?" I asked in a stern yet caring voice. "We don't know, that name just sounds familiar to us but old as if we heard it in a different life." She said letting out a sigh.

"I don't want to do this unless you're ready." I said cupping the sides of her face in my hands. Her skin was so soft and smooth it's perfect. "We want to be marked." She said giving me a seductive look and my wolf lost it and took control. I could feel my eyes glowing red. She lowered her ears and cringed away from me. "Won't hurt mate." I said reaching for her, tilting her chin upward and leaned in towards her neck. She let out a moan feeling my breath on her. "WANT MATE!" I growled letting my canines extend and sunk them into her soft flesh. She let out a soft whimper at the sudden pain. I felt the blood start running onto my tongue and pulled back from the bite. I lapped up what remained on her fresh mark. She moaned from the sudden sensitivity that spot now had. I kissed the mark and let my tongue glide over it. Isra was letting out soft barks and whimpers now and swishing her tail slowly. I was really enjoying the sounds she was responding with. I pulled away and pulled her to lay on top of me.

We both laid there catching our breath from the rush we both just got. "Are we officially mates now?" She asked breaking the calming silence. "Not until we physically mate." I whispered in her ear. She twitched them in response. "We will bear you a pup soon?!" She exclaimed. Her eyes gleaming with hope. My wolf was prancing around in my head and howling at this remark. I jumped. "Hold on there babe, let's just slow down a bit and let me teach you to get comfortable with your human form and introduce you to the pack." I nuzzled into her neck. The thought of pups didn't really scare me it's just all of the things that could happen to them or me just not being a good father. "Your pack will only accept my human form?" She asked with disappointment trailing in her voice, snapping me out of my thoughts. "No they will accept you no matter what. I can tell they already can't wait to meet you. I can just imagine it being easier meeting you with your human form." I said not wanting to really bring up the whole possible "daughter of the moon goddess" deal till she seemed ready to talk about it (assuming she knows about it).

"I despise humans" I heard her mumble it so lowly I almost thought it was just in my mind. "What was that?" I asked stunned at the statement. "Nothing" she said and turned over. Oh goddess if she really is your daughter please don't let the past repeat itself. I said a silent prayer to the goddess and felt Isra squirm under my arm.
