You Bare My Mark ( My Mate Series)

11 - Chapter Eleven - Siryn's Point Of View.

My father Deigo came in the SUV and got me at six am sharp. We didn't talk as he drove home. It was only as he parked the SUV that he spoke.

"You froze again. I saw it."

"Now you see why I gave up the beta position to go to school.”

"Siryn you do fine as long as it's not anyone you care about on the other side but as soon as you have an emotional attachment to both sides you're just blank.”

"I just... It's like I can't move. Everything shuts down and I

lose it."

"We need to fix this. Now. This will cause issues as the mate of an alpha”

"I know. "

Getting out Dakota and my father whispered about something. It was clear when they switched to mind link I wasn't welcome to know what they were talking about. Suddenly Dakota grabbed my dad and whipped him to the ground. I heard the barks and growls and my feet felt frozen in place. My hands were shaking as I brought them to my face.

"Stop." My voice is low and not powerful enough. I heard my father yip in pain and my knees felt weak.

Don't you dare freeze up, you have to do something! Bring my shaking hands to my face, I yelled.

"Stop it right now.”

Both pulled back from each other. No words were spoken to me as they walked off together. Leaving me to my thoughts I tried to pinpoint to exactly the moment I had started to have this issue, but I couldn't find anything that would cause this.

Two weeks went on where Dakota would attack my father in front of me. Each attack got worse. Looking at them fighting before me my hands were still shaking but this time I wolfed. My paws moved and I threw myself between them. With a growl, they pulled apart. My father also in wolf form licked my cheek as if to say I did it.

"Come on get shifted. Food needs to be delivered.”

Remembering that it's been two weeks since I saw Lucio last my heart did some fluttery shit just thinking about seeing him. Smiling to myself I ran to get dressed. I had so many things I wanted to ask Lucio now that I had time to think about many questions.

I pulled random clothing on and looked in the mirror. I had on tight black sweatpants and a grey long sleeve on. I looked somewhat decent. A knock on my door made me groan.

"Come on Siryn we haven't got all day.”

"I'm going. Just hold on.”

Grabbing scissors and a comb I smiled to myself. It was haircut time. Running out of my personal cabin I jumped in the jeep with my dad. I was actually pretty excited to give Lucio a haircut he really needed one, really bad. I wondered what type of hair cut he would look the best with and I let my mind wander about it.

"Okay let's go."

"Hold on lover boy."

"Eh. What?"

"Do you plan on spending the night?"

"Probably."

My dad grabbed a paper bag out of the glove compartment and handed it to me. Looking at him confused I opened the bag. Condoms.

Busting out laughing I handed them back. He raised his eyebrow at me. He clearly didn't get that Lucio and I weren't even kissing yet. Sex was so far away it wasn't even sight.

"I don't need those!"

"Oh yeah. Why's that?"

"Lucio won't even kiss me at the moments so fucking is a long long hike up the mountain of nope right now."

My dad busted out laughing. Of course, he would find this great. The food shipment this time was twice as much. Dakota explained this was so that when he gave the new stand in beta the instructions for training that they had enough food to feed wolves that were bulking up.

When we pulled up to the pack it looked amazing. The houses were built and children played outside. One thing was missing though. Lucio. I still couldn't believe how good the pack looked now. It was amazing. We had all done so much work and it really paid off in many ways. I was super happy that they would be able to bulk up some of the wolves for warriors and hunters because Lucio’s pack really needed more wolves that could defend the land.

Figuring Lucio was in the strange open office upstairs I hopped out of the car and jogged inside. Closing the door behind me I had one goal, sneak upon him. Making it to the stairs I was surprised I had gotten that far without him saying something but when I reached the top of the stairs I knew why. Lucio laid passed out in his chair, his head on his desk. Paperwork all around him. Pulling out my phone I snapped a quick photo for later, you know blackmail and shit. He was adorable when he was sleeping, but I was worried he wasn't getting enough sleep at night.

Quietly I watched him for a few moments before attempting to wake him up. He woke up pretty easily.

"Hey. Watching people sleep is creepy you know."

A blush crawled up my cheeks as I told him to shut up over and over again. Following Lucio outside, he told me some plans he had for a small garden in the summer months.l thought that was super cute and just something so far out in left field for Lucio. But I was down to help with a small garden that would only last for a month then die.

"So I think if we plant a small tree here----"

Everything went so quiet. Then growling broke out. Turning around I watched as both Dakota And my dad attacked Lucio. Panic sailed through my blood but I took a deep breath and yelled.

"Stop this shit right now!"

They all split. But that didn't stop the feeling of rage in my gut. Lucio had a small gash on his cheek that was bleeding slightly. Without warning my wolf shoved me back. My wolf who had been silent all this time and I felt the true power my wolf held. Never before had I been able to control my shift meaning I could use my claws without a full shift. Looking down my human hands had claws. My wolf had made both Dakota and my father a target. My wolf and I were all in for attacking them. I needed to protect Lucio. By all means. My wolf had finally had enough with allowing my family to hurt themselves and others. They had even ruined my plan to give Lucio the haircut he really did desperately need.
