First Year...

My neck burned like a sonofabitch. I rubbed it, iced it, scratched it, hell even tried to cut the mark away, but the awful sensation kept me awake nights and on edge days. That's why I was heading to the fucking mansion. I'd took a plane halfway around the world, picked up one of my cars, and was now booking it to Xavier's place.

The little heathen! Hadn't heard a word from them since I'd left and I had aimed to keep it that way longer, but she wasn't having it! I half assed wondered if she even knew what she was doing. Hell, if she knew she'd have kept me there in the first place. Kitten hadn't cried, hadn't showed any sign of me leaving bothered her, but she'd stolen a shirt from my bag. Hell, that and I couldn't look in her freaking green eyes without seeing the sadness. The others wouldn't have caught it, no, my kitten hid her emotions well. That was just it though, she was my kitten, and I saw it. I felt i had imagined it at first glance, but the way her eyes had met mine... I knew, and I'd still left.

Heifer! Didn't she know it was for the best? Didn't she know I was giving her a chance to make something of herself? I was taking her needs and placing them first. Hell, I'd set up an account of pretty much unlimited funds and they'd barely touched it. She should've went shopping or hunting or whatever females did! Played with barbies for heaven's sakes! No, she was demanding I return! I the fucking Alpha, the Dominant in this relationship! She wasn't asking, no, it was no fucking simple ass phone call! No that would have been too damn easy! She was burning it into my fucking skull! I got the message! Loud and fucking clear.

I took a deep breath, "I'm coming baby." I whispered as if she could hear, but I knew she couldn't. I was coming home to her though, I would see to her, take care of her. I would inhale that beautiful scent of wilderness and female. I would roll over and play with her, keep her company, understand her as the rest wouldn't. I would be home with her, let her sleep curled around my head. I would protect her from whatever had her gander up. Surely she wasn't hurt? Xavier would've called, hell, Logan would've gotten hold of me. She was okay, just had her panties in a twist. "I'm coming." I whispered again, as the steady burn pulsed into my neck.

*Author's Note: Koko I hate that you don't have an account so I can message you, so I'll do it on here. Reviews can put a smile on my face, but for the most part I write because its something I enjoy. I love the fact there's actually an audience that enjoys my writing/ideas, but I find writing to be my way of 'destressing' after a long day. I've written this story a while ahead, but instead of making anyone wait wks or months at a time I'm posting little by little. (Plus it helps me because I'm not able to use appropriate spacing if I posted it all together.) Thanks for reading, reviewing, and favoriting. And I'll try to keep updating as regularly as possible. But a special thanks to those who have reviewed: Koko, LauRa ReaDinG XoX, Dahlia Dewinter, Skye the Biker Chick, LovelyDeadlyLie, Gambit, CrasyCountryGirl, and Silca. Many more have added this story to alert or favorites, but there's enough names to take a chapter and I don't have the heart to do that to y'all, but I am very humbled by the thought. Thanks again and tonight I'll add two Chaps for ya.
