Another Choice
Chapter 38

(Selina)

I have to say I was surprised how easily Noah was able to catch me. I think it’s because I made him wait too long before to mark him. Still, the hunt was fun, we should do it again. Often, really often... If I start to run now, will he hunt me? A smile plays in my lips when I think about all the things he did to me after he caught me... hmm. That was so good!!! He was very dominating and I kind of like it, love it even.

"Morning Sunshine! You smell divinely good. What are you thinking about that turn you on?" Noah asks kissing my back.

"I was thinking about last night." I reply. He keeps kissing my back going up until my neck, making me moan but suddenly he stops.

"Did I was too... rough?" He asks.

"You were but I loved it. I like the fact you’re the one ruling in bed. " I reassure him.

I look at his eyes and add: "I'm sorry. I shouldn't wait so long before to mark you."

"I don't mind. Not any more that we are marked now. But can I ask you why?"

"It's complicated. I was scared that you will reproach me that one day. And also because marking you is taking your freedom away. Now that we are marked, you will have to behave. Everybody will except something from you and will wait for any mistake. Believe me, it's not easy every day and that will make you feel alone most of the time."

"Sunshine, you're not alone anymore. We are together now. I don't care if I have to act like someone I'm not if I can be myself with you when the doors are closed. Actually, I like the idea that you're your true self only for me. It's the best part of you and I don't have to share it with anybody. Why did you change your mind last night?"

"Your determination. I knew you would have come to ask my parents to turn you and you will have marked me. And I wanted to be the one who turned you and marked you first. I know it's selfish but after all those men who tried to mark me against my will, I really want to mark your first." I explain.

"About that. You don't have any bites marks anymore!" He comments caressing my skin. I can feel his surprise though our mate link.

"Zac, Willow's son. He told me a few months ago that the marks will disappear once and only if lI will do the right choice about my mating. I guess that means you're the right choice." I say.

"I didn't know you knew him. I don't like him. Every time we spoke, he is looking at me like he knows something that I don't."

"I know! So annoying like his mother!" I agree.

“I have to say I’m happy you only have my mark on you! I would have to mark on top of each if not.” He says possessively.

“I wouldn’t mind. I like your marks on me.” I say before kissing him.

He deepens the kiss and in a few seconds we are totally marking out. Let’s go for another round. Oh yes!!!

******

“Did you okay with where I marked you? Sorry, I didn't ask you before to bite you." I ask him while I'm resting in his arms.

"I'm bearing your mark so I'm more than okay, Sunshine."

"But it's really classical." I marked on between his neck and his left shoulder where werewolf mates mark each other.

"I don't mind. Moreover, it's mean that we can't hide it. Well, except with a scarf and we aren’t sensitive to cold. Everybody will know that we belong to each other." He replies and I can feel his possessiveness thought our bond.

"Yes, I want the world to know you're mine and you will be by my side."

"There is more I can feel it." He comments.

I sigh: " I feel guilty maybe if I have marked you earlier the council wouldn't be so aggressive against you. At least, now they will see they can't go against my will and that I chose you."

"Does it influence where you marked me?"

"No, not really. After months of bearing other males marks, hiding them all the time, and feeling ashamed when I saw them on my skin, I swore to myself I will bear the mark of my mate with pride and where everybody will see it."

"I love you so much, Selina. My heart is only beating for you!" He says kissing my head.

"Speaking about marking, you did some kind of spell while we were marking each other. It was to block my venom ad for to keep your magic right?"

"Yes, it was but not only. I shared with you a part of my magic. You will be able to use it thought our bond now. It's my mating's gift for you Sunshine. I will have to teach you through."

I don't what to say as tears of happiness fill my eyes, so I kiss him.

"Thank you so much, Love! I love you more than anything." I finish saying.

It's almost dawn, soon we will need to go back to the castle. Feeling my change of mood, Noah asks me:

"Do you think they know we mated now?"

"Well, you didn't come back to ask my parents to turn you. And Tom felt it." I reply.

"What do you mean he felt it?" He frowns.

"As we vowed to be part of the other one's life, we can feel each other strong emotions."

He nods: "As he felt you distress yesterday."

"Exactly. I still can’t believe how okay you’re with my relationship with Tom. Emily is still struggling some times."

"Because I let it happened and also I felt what you both. I know how deep you love each other. I saw how you saved him and he helped you to move one. Moreover, I know that the love you share with him is nothing compared to our love or his love for Emily. It’s not the same kind of love.”

"Thank you for being so understanding. Maybe the fact we are fully mated will help her to accept my friendship with him."

My phone rings and I see my father's name on the screen but I ignore the call.

"We should go back." Noah says.

"I know... I don't want to."

"Me neither but we have to."

I nod, knowing he is right.

"Wait. Before we go can you mask our marks."

"Why?" He asks taken aback.

"Relax, I just want to tease my father. They will know by our mixed smell that we are fully mated. I promise his face will worst it." I peck his lips.

He nods and does it. And it was totally worst it when I told my father that he was right the cheek was the best place to mark your mate. He was so pale, I never thought he could be so white! Mom cried as she laughs so much. I used to hear him tease her about marking her butt and one day mom asks what if one of his daughters was marked there, I will never forget the face he had. But today was even funnier.

As we enter our room, Noah presses me against the wall before kissing me. I can feel how aroused he is.

"I did mark you on your ass, Sunshine." I say kissing my neck and then my mark, making me moan.

"Not with your teeth, Love." I reply, breathing rapidly as my desire for him is becoming too strong.

"Maybe I should change that then."

"Yes, maybe you should indeed...”
