Chapter 27
My vision becomes clear however, I feel different... more liberated.
But a loud growl comes from my mouth when I see Emma trying to stand up. However, there is a large gash on her underbelly.
When I walk towards her, my eyes land on my...paw?
"Fire?" The realization hits, when I take in my appearance.
Get ready to go on a run when we will be done finishing this pathetic she-wolf. I need to stretch my legs.
She lightly laughs.
I snarl in anger when Emma takes an offensive stance and growls at me. But this time I don't give her a chance even to attack me as I charge towards her and slashes her face with my claw nearly taking her eye out.
Furious growl ripples through me as I clamp my jaws around her shoulder and tear a chunk out from her shoulder and throw it somewhere behind. Her agonizing growl echoes throughout the area.
Taking a few steps back, I take in her bloodied form, feeling satisfied with my work even though I have done enough damage to her but nothing is life-threatening.
Baring my teeth, I slowly run my tongue across my teeth tasting her blood in satisfaction.
However, I am not done yet.
Walking to her, I place my paw over her neck pushing her head towards the ground as I growl lowly at her. She whimpers not able to handle my dominance and soon she shifts into her human form.
I remove my paw as I snap my teeth at her.
She bows her head in submission looking at me with terrified eyes.
I growl powerfully unleashing my Alpha dominance as I glare at everyone daring them to challenge me. Every wolf present in the training ground shows their neck in submission except Arthur, Julia, and Donovon. However, I can see them fighting hard against my power.
Raising my head to the sky, I let out a loud howl and soon some more howls follow me. As I watch even Jenna, Gavin, and Luca have shifted into their wolves bowing their head in front of me, as their right paw is extended in front of them showing their loyalty to me.
Just before my eyes and their right paws turn into the same color my wolf, golden.
The blood oath.
I walk to them and nudges them with my muzzle. Their joy reaches me, as they raise their head, that even my wolf has accepted them.
Then I turn to Donovon who is looking at me with wonder and pride. I bring my face near his face as he slowly raises his hand to run his fingers in my fur.
A loud purr comes from me when he caresses my fur sending sparks everywhere in my body.
"You are so beautiful, Fire." He smiles as his eyes roam over my new form, "Especially, your eyes."
Suddenly, I let out a playful growl and nudge him then I run off in the direction of the woods.
The wind touches my fur and grass feels soft against my paws giving me a new sense of liberation.
"You are on it." Donovon chuckles and when I turn around to see even he has turned into Wolfie.
Storm.
Fire corrects me.
"Huh? But he is Wolfie?" I feel confused.
"He is Wolfie when you are Ivory, but when you are Fire he is, Storm, our mate."
She opens our bond which I have blocked earlier, making me realize what she means. All my thoughts are aligned with Fire's, that now I can't differentiate between myself and her.
Soon Storm catches up with us and growls when I increase my speed enjoying this chase game with my mate.
I am tackled down on the ground when Storm jumps on me letting out a playful growl.
I purr when he buries his muzzle in my neck and inhales my scent. He slowly moves away from us, but when I try to stand he loudly growls at me forcing me to sit back. He comes near me and starts licking my neck while rubbing his fur on mine.
Rubbing your scent on your mate is considered as the first step of marking. Your scent on your mate will warn off every other person that you are mated. It is not limited just to wolves but even other species will also figure that you are off-limits.
When he is satisfied, he licks the side of my face and nudges me. Then he sits in front of me silently asking me to rub my scent on him.
Following his steps, I circle him while rubbing myself against him until I am convinced that my scent is all over him.
Leaning against him, I put my head on my paws as he rests his head over my head. Soon he again starts to lick my neck, but now there is a hidden possessiveness behind his action. I lightly growl as a shiver runs down my spine when he gently bites my neck.
He bites my neck again but this time it is not as gentle as before forcing me to let out a small whimper. He whines and caresses my skin with his tongue, soothing the area.
It is clear that he wants to mark me, even my instincts are telling me to claim him as mine.
Raising my head, I lick his muzzle and nuzzle his neck, inhaling his calming scent.
Then I lie down baring my neck to him. He let out a possessive growl and stands over me protectively while nuzzling my neck. I feel him baring his teeth and slowly sinking them in my neck.
A loud whimper leaves my lips because of the pain but he continues to force his teeth deep into my neck holding me in place with his weight over me.
Gently, he removes his teeth and starts licking my wound to minimize the pain. Then he lies down in front of moving his head slightly to the side showing me his neck. My instinct takes over my senses and before I know I sink my teeth into his neck claiming him as mine.
"Mate." I hear Storm's voice in my head as we now are connected to each other in our wolf form.
"My mate," I reply sensing new feelings stirring inside me.
