We sat there eating the meal in silence, when he asked me not to go through the dark world, I couldn't answer. There was something that I read in father's hidden journals that caught my attention. I knew I was from a prestigious blood line.
In the beginning there was six bloodlines of the lycan wolves. My family came from the oldest lines, making us powerful Pure blood Alphas. However the King line was just as powerful, however the had a curse placed by the moon goddess.
Two lines dies out, and the remaining two barely had any information about the family history. I just assumed that they also died out or there was nothing to write about them.
"You know I was wondering about your father, is he a pure blood lycan?" I asked as I picked up our plates to wash them. He sat there in silence before opening his mouth.
"No it was my mother, he was just a lower ranking wolf. It was a shock to many lineages around, breaking the once placed curse by the moon goddess." He paused when I looked at him waiting for him to continue. He stood up and came from behind me placing his head in the nape of my neck.
"The curse that was placed on my line was placed thousands of years ago, by my mother's great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather. He somehow broke the bond between his mate and himself, by killing her for selfish reasons.
"This angered the goddess to the point she refused to give us our mates early, making us suffer. For the length span of a wolf could be for centuries, my family had to wait for what felt like forever before she blessed us.
"When we got our mates, we treated them like gold letting nothing get between us. My mother broke the curse by searching for her mate early, and when she did, seeing he was not her equal she gave him his status and made him hers.
"To this day we are still visited because of that event, when I found you I was grateful for my mother because I don't know how long it would take to find you. You're one of a kind." I turned around to face him watching him closely.
"I'm sorry for saying those words at the stadium, when you talk about me I know how much you love me, but can I ask for a favor?" I looked at his soft teal eyes before he closed them, taking a deep breath in, he opened them again.
"Yes, but before you speak, I know you're busy and you're also worried on how this could effect you on gaining of the company, I will take this slow if that the problem, but I don't think I can be banned from seeing or being around you." I placed my hand over his mouth before he could say more.
"No, that is a mistake that will never be made again. I would appreciate us taking our relationship slowly, this is already moving fast. I'm new to this supernatural world and the mate bond, but I know that we need to see each other plenty of times. When I get a secure spot in my company then we can move further if not already. I ask that you give me time to breath, but also time to get to know you." I watched as he processed the information.
His emotions were all over the place, he looked confused when I spoke at first, the he face shifted through the stages of joy. He gave me a stunning boy smile that took my breath away.
He picked me up and spun me around the kitchen, then set me down. I smiled brightly to him, and then Anthony walked in. He was carrying a stack of clothes, and when he caught me watching him, he smiled warmly before he left for good.
"He's seems to be a good person. What's this?" I walked to counter and realized the clothes were for me. The man seemed familiar, like family, but there was no way he could be.
"He is a great person, he's raised me while also taking care of his grandchildren, I was good friends with them. It's getting late, you can sleep in the guest bedroom, it has a bathroom that you can use." I grabbed the stack on the counter and followed him up a set of stairs. The hallway was huge with two doors across each other. He led me to the room on the left.
When he opened the door, what I first glanced at was the window that looked out to the woods. It was a floor to ceiling window and next to it was a leather chair, a reading place. We walked in and I explored the room for a bit, there was a queen size bed, with two ceder nightstands with lamps on both tables.
Then there was the bathroom that had a huge tub and marble countertops that had the most beautiful swirls. As I looked around at the room I almost forgot about the host.
"You like it?" He asked as he watched me walk around completely oblivious of him. I turned and gave him a smiled then looked out the window.
"I must be nice to live here, away from the city. It calming being here." I muttered then walked to the bathroom. Turning on the water I closed the door and soaked for about an hour. There was so many things that were happening all at once, and this wasn't all of it.
"I wish..." I spoke aloud then went quiet, what do I wish for?
***
Sitting there on the edge of the bed, till she got out of the tub felt like forever. I was just being protective of her because there was somebody in the woods that as watching my house at the moment. I closed the shades then left the room to inspect this trespasser, but he was already gone when I walked to the spot.
The wolf was displeased that there was someone near, but strangely there was no scent like nobody was there. [I will find you.] I growled then walked back to the house stopping at Kenzie's door.
From inside, I could hear the steady rise and fall of breathing as she was deep asleep. It took everything to fight my wolf to let her have her privacy, by not opening the door and watch her sleep.
Opening the door on the other end of the hall I took a quick shower then went to sleep in the other form.
