Chapter 48

"A mark is used to signify that a guy or girl belongs to someone. It gives me access to your mate's thoughts; I'll be able to sense your feelings and know if you're in danger right away. Everything will get more intense after I marked you and we mate. This tingles as well." He murmurs, his fingertips sliding up my arm, causing me tremble with delight. "I'll become much more possessive and protective of you than I am now." I nod as though I agree. I'd finished all of my asking downstairs, and I'd questioned everything that came to mind, so all that's left for me just to know is, "What does the markings and mating procedure include, and what is it?"

"It increases your relationship with your mate." You will not even be able to mentally connect with me till we mate, at which point you'll be able to sense my feelings as well as I do yours. Although marking happens before mating, I have to perform this at the same moment since I'm a little unusual. If you don't, it will harm you. Marking is when I bit your neck to signal that you are mine, and mating is when I make love to you. I can put off marking for a few months, however whenever my beast could no longer resist the draw, I'll have to do it during a full moon. Otherwise, I'll get possessive and kill everybody who stands in my way to get to you.
As my Luna, you will ideally be carrying my babies and leading the group after finishing the procedure." I glance up to find him nodding to himself and peering at the cover with wrinkled brows. I leaped off him and from the bed to take a position on the floor. I shout internally as my mind flashes filthy pictures in my head, and he didn't just say exactly I think he said. "No, no, no!" That's not going to happen! What the hell is going on here? I don't have any wolves inside of me! And you're not going to bite me; you're going to have to find another partner, buddy," I say as I turned and picked up my boots.
A hand catches my arm from my back and tosses me back into the bed before I can go. When Gabriel creeps up my body and then pins my arms above me right into the cushions, I scream in amazement and freeze. His grasp is firm, and his eyes are ablaze with rage. Red streaks flitted over them, making me silently gasp. Is that something to do with wolves? "Now, mate, pay great attention to what I'm saying." He begins, his voice low and whispered. "I'm not going to pick another partner since you're mine." You'll let me do everything I want, and you'll carry my puppies and stick by me until I'm down six feet beneath the fucking grave.
No guy is capable of looking at you, thinking about you, or even breathing in your direction. You are mine and mine alone, and don't you dare tell me I should allow you go, for I won't. Not now, and certainly not in the future. "Do you get it?" I groan and roll my eyes. Linda earlier told me about her friends and how obsessive they can be over dinner, and it appears that she is correct. "Well, aren't you lovely?" You curse too much. Did anybody ever warn you that?" I mutter dryly, my brow raised, peering up at him.
"They didn't survive long enough to continue the sentence." You, on the other hand, can make amends with a kiss." He grins and taps his right cheek. I chuckle and shove him backwards, his body slamming into the mattress under him. Jumped upon him and straddling his waist, I smile as his hands hold my hips. I crouched down till my lips were just a fraction of an inch from from his. I smirk as I watch him tremble and close his eyes, a low sigh leaving him, before leaping off him. As I slide off the bed onto the floor, hitting him with a pillow, his eyes open to see me smiling.
I squeal as I heard his feet strike the floor and crouch down to see the pillow fall to the floor next me. We're quickly engulfed in a pillow battle. Gabriel says that he allowed me win since I'm his friend, but it's obvious that he was beaten up by a lady. I pant gently as I re-arrange the pillows on the bed, then turned around to watch Gabriel re-cover the bed. He glances up, as if sensing my sight, and smiles his gorgeous, real grin, which makes my heart skip a beat. He pulls me into his chest, using the arm as he walks around the bed, slipping my hair back to my ear.
''Eres realmente una teazer.'' Before forcing me down on the bed, he whispered, his body hanging above mine. (You're really a teaser.) Then what? Then I get caught up in his arms and lost myself through his kisses and wonderful words till we both fall asleep. With one more kiss on my lips and Gabriel muttering "mi luz," I fall asleep peacefully. (My light.)

As I commence work on yet another arithmetic problem, I groan. Only the sounds of pens being put and pages being flipped can be heard in the library. I've been in here three times in the last week to study. Many of my instructors have scheduled class examinations for next week, and I'm hoping to do well, but it's becoming tough to stay focused.
I eventually got two hours of studying done before packing up and heading home. I put my books into my locker before stepping out to my car, but before I can sit down, my phone beeps with a message. I text back a "ok" before igniting the car then driving out from the school gates. Gabriel is summoning me to come to his apartment. I soon remember which direction his house is and drive into the gravel road that would lead me to his home. The trees are all around me, and if I look to the side, I could see pack members training in the woods.
Their speed is incredible, and they pass me out like lightening. The gravel road opens out to a big clearing after some minutes of driving. I pass by the pack buildings and training grounds on my way to his magnificent mansion. I parked in the driveway and turned off the car before exiting. I saunter up the stairs, my bag draped over my shoulder, pausing as I hear someone shouting. I lean against the wall, straining to hear what's being said. It's Ryan and Gabriel on the other end of the line.
"It's not the correct moment to say that to Amanda!" Gabriel lets out a roar. What exactly are you trying to say? I ponder as I take a stealthy move closer to the door. "So, when are you going to tell her?" 'Ryan lets out a long sigh. "If it were up to me, I'd never tell her." She's not going anywhere." But did Gabriel not already tell me who he is? As they continue to argue, I find myself wondering. "- in your relationship, everything is different. Isn't she meant to know the reason why you cannot mark her like a regular wolf would, and why there are those out there willing to do everything to bring you down?
We stopped the thugs from hitting her at school just few days ago, but what if we're too late one day? "That will never happen," Gabriel snarls, "I've got more guards surrounding her than every Luna would ever had!" "This is correct, but Amanda is not yet a werewolf." If one of your adversaries gets to her, she will not be able to protect herself against their might!" Ryan argues, refusing to give up. "I'll figure it out, but I'm not going to tell her!" "Gabriel," "Ryan sighs an exasperated sigh. "You will not be capable of keeping it hidden very longer, especially on full moon evenings."
"All I have to do is tell her I've got a formal meeting and out from the country for few days," "All I have to do is tell her I've got a formal meeting and out from the country for few days," " you obstinate fuck!" "You do not educate me on how to handle my affairs." Gabriel's loud snarl reverberates throughout the home. "She's mine, and I decide when and what to tell her!" I take a step outside and enter via the open door after hearing enough. When I go in, both men are poised with their fists tightened, their eyes turning to me. Gabriel's eyes widen, but Ryan merely gives me a relieved smile. Gabriel's stance is rigid, his muscles tensed like a spring, as if prepared to strike at any moment.
"Will you abandon us, Ryan?" I'll take care of things from here." I say this as I cross my arms and see him nod as I walk across the room. Gabriel screams an expletive before looking at his Beta as he walks away. Just as my arms could fall to my sides, I waited to hear the sound from the door closing behind me. I observe as he ruffles up his wavy brown hair even more with his hand. He's gazing about, but not at me.
"Amanda," ....

***Hmm, Gabriel and his secrets...***
