Chapter 2: The Revealing

Yumi's 'POV'

After sneaking into the house to change, I left for school and met my friends at our usual spot. When I got there I noticed Ulrich was missing and Odd was trying to call him on his phone. I walked up to everybody and waved trying to hide my bandaged up hand, but of course Jeremie and Aelita are the first to notice.

"What happened to your hand Yumi?" Aelita asked.

"I cut myself is all nothing to worry about," I answered trying to sound true.

"Hey guys, sorry I'm late but I had to handle something," Ulrich said running up to us panting. I then noticed a bite mark on his neck, when i looked back at the werewolves that attacked me yesterday I remembered that the black one bite the brown on the neck before I passed out.

"Man do you know how worried I was about you? You don't just run off like that and not tell me where you're going you want to give me a heart attack?" Odd asked frantically.

"Chill out Mom, anyway if I wasn't there last night I would have been in trouble," Ulrich responded back.

"Can I speak to you Ulrich, alone?" I asked curiously.

"Uh sure," Ulrich said following me farther away from the others. When we got near a big oak tree I turned around to face Ulrich and saw him rubbing the bite mark on his neck painfully.

"That bite mark hurts doesn't it?" I asked.

"What bite mark? I was bitten by a mosquito last night," Ulrich answered lying.

"Don't you dare lie to me Ulrich Stern, I know it was you who saved me and I want to know one thing," I said slightly angry

"And what is that?" Ulrich asked getting slightly upset as well. I walked up to him until our bodies were touching and I could smell his cologne on him and it was intoxicating.

"Do you love me?" I asked seriously.

"Uh...um...I don't know," Ulrich answered

"Well then if you don't know then I guess we should go right back to being good friends," I said turning away from him.

"Wait, I do love you with all my heart I just don't want you to reject me because of this curse I have," Ulrich said grabbing my arm.

"I have been accepted you even before I knew you had a curse. Now answer this question, were you the one who saved me from those four yesterday?" I asked taking his arm off of mine and grabbing his hand.

"Yes I was but how did you know it was me?" Ulrich asked leaning against the tree.

"The bite mark on your neck, does it still hurt?" I asked seriously.

"Yeah, it hurts like a bitch," Ulrich said painfully.

"I know how to fix it," I said leaning over and turning his head to the side, I then kissed the spot of his neck where the mark was and I automatically could smell every scent on him and it drove me nuts. I could feel Ulrich move his hands from mine to my waist and grip them tightly, I winced a little at the pain but I just couldn't control myself. I then wrapped my hand into his brown hair and moved to his lips, as soon as we connected I could feel this longing pain in my heart and stomach and it was quite weird.

"Y-Yumi?" Ulrich asked panting in my ear.

"Yes Ulrich?" I asked letting his lips go for a breath of fresh air.

"What has gotten into you?"Ulrich asked gripping my waist harder.

"I can't control myself actually, well I am turning into a werewolf so it could be that," I answered letting him go and wrapping my hands around his neck.

"Well whatever it is I like it and I want you to become my mate," Ulrich said looking me in my eyes.

"It would be my honor, but are you going to be there to help me with the transformation?" I asked softly.

"Yeah I will and I will help you afterwards as well," ULrich answered kissing me again.
