CHAPTER FIVE : MATE

~~~ Marcus~~~

Looking at my mate, still laying unconscious and mumbling inaudible words under her breath.

"Our mate is a beauty, isn't she?", my wolf asked, ogling her with curious beady eyes that glistened under the night light. I could feel the excitement emitting from him. "She sure is a beauty" I responded, as a smile finally made its way across my cheeks. I could feel my wolf's excitement rubbing off on me.

I leaned in to make out the wordings of what she was saying, when James interrupted my thoughts and actions.

"Where are we dropping her, sir?" he asked from his seat in front.

"Home", I replied.

“We can't drop her off on the streets now, not when she's unconscious even" I said again to James, who shook his head in agreement as he focused on his driving.

I had just finished replying to James, when my mate started kicking her legs around.

"Is she having a nightmare?", I thought to myself, tapping her to wake her up from what appeared to be a nightmare. Her forehead felt warmer than normal. My mate was burning up.

"Drive faster", I screamed at James, "Something is wrong with her.” I can't lose her to anything, not when I just found her, I thought to myself. James felt the panic in my voice and responded by increasing the speed of the car.

A few minutes later he was pulling into the driveway of the big house and slowing down in front of the main villa. "We're here sir", James said, bringing the car to a stop. He got out almost immediately and circled round to try to carry her out of the car.

Instinctively, I removed his fingers that were about to touch her.

"Leave her to me, James, I will handle it myself ", I sneered as I strode out, catching James off guard with the sternness in my voice. For a moment I felt pity for him but I had more to worry about than his ego. I grabbed her hands to carry her in, ignoring the surprise look on his face.

I started walking into the house, when she suddenly shivered and small whimpering sounds emanated from her lips. She was awake and began curling her legs around me, tearing off her clothes.

"It's so hot here", she said, looking up to catch my gaze.

I started half running into the house, I couldn't have all my employees, especially the men, feasting their eyes on her body.

I groaned a little as her small pretty hands, started making it's way down my groins.

"Get me some ice and call the doctor, tell him I want him here in the next 3mins", I shouted behind me for James to hear.

I carried her into my bedroom and tried to free myself from her grip. Her lips found mine in the dimly lit bedroom and I felt my body shudder with a hint of excitement and surprise. She wanted me. I could feel her body relax against mine as moaning sounds escaped her parted lips.

"Mark her, my wolf screamed", interrupting my thoughts. I shook my head in disapproval. Did I really want to mark her, especially when she wouldn't be aware of what was happening?

With each movement she made, my wolf was screaming to take over.

"She's ours, what are you waiting for?!" my wolf roared impatiently.

"James, where is that bloody doctor", I swore loudly, hoping his presence would buy me some time from my wolf.

Just the strutting sounds emanated from the hallway.

"Don't go in there” I heard him screaming at no one in particular.

Not until I heard the clanging of heels against the floor, marching intently towards the doors of my room.

I could feel my wolf, vibrating with anger, "that's the girl you were tainting yourself with, don't let her close to our mate", my wolf said as he hissed audibly.

I sighed, "she better not open that door, or I might not be able to control my wolf", I thought to myself.

Gbam! Gbam! Gbam!

Sounds of her banging the door filled the room, eliciting a groan from my mouth. Oblivious to all that is happening, my mate still clung to my body, kissing and nibbling at any place her lips touches.

"I know you're in there, Marcus", she screamed at the door.

"How can you stand me up and go behind me to carry another woman", she screamed in anger. I recognized the disgust in her tone and it was apparent Lilian was about to burst through my doors.

I hate this girl with passion, I don't know who is feeding her with all this delusions of her being my girlfriend.

In the past I made it clear, times without number, that what we shared was purely sexual. We were barely friends but we pleasured in whoring our bodies and enjoying the thrill of it. Now she wanted more than I could offer her. I was frantically thinking about how to get Lilian away from my door, when the room door flung open. It dawned on me that I didn't lock the door.

Before I could say dejavu, Lilian barged in screaming, jumping onto the bed and dragging my mate away from my body.

"Is this the thing you left me for?" She charged at me, while pointing at my mate.

I just stood in shock looking at her, trying to process what had just happened, never have I ever thought that a lady, would behave in such a classless manner.

"Did this walking bag of flesh and bones call my mate a thing?" My wolf thundered, breaking me out of my shocked state.

Lilian continued screaming and banging my chest. She turned back, cursing and dragged my mate by the hair, in a bid to drag her out of the room.

"Too soft", my wolf whispered, disappointedly as he took control of my being. He strode towards Lilian, who was still dragging our mate by the hair and lifted her up.

"Who did you call a thing?!" he asked in a voice deeper and huskier than my normal voice.

"You called my mate a thing ?", he questioned again as he squeezed her neck. Lillian barely had enough time to process the shock and fright plastered on her red face.

I could see the fear in her eyes, as her body shook with fright and her eyes threatened to pop out of their sockets. Her pupil was starting to dilate, life was slowly living her body. My wolf was going to kill her.

"I love you", her voice croaked a whisper under my wolf's grip on her throat.

"Love?" my wolf scoffed, "The only thing you love more than your vain self is my money", my wolf continued.

He slowly released the grip from her neck and flung her across the room towards the end of the hall and through the door. He relinquished control and I stumbled towards the door and banged it shut.

"I'm sorry that I didn't stop that on time" my wolf whispered to our mate, who was groaning on the ground.

We carried her up and my wolf, excited to carry on from where we left off, cupped and kissed her breast, raising up our head to capture her lips, when her eyes suddenly flung open and stared into mine, with an anger fluttering in them.
