Hi guys! Chapter 11 is ready!!!! I hope you will like it! I have to tell you I LOVED to write it!!!! Special thanks to my Beta-Reader!!! Enjoy it!!
Chapter 11
'And then, Charlie said he is going to be the next Alpha, because he will make me his mate!' The small, silver wolf said with angry and disappointed eyes. Darien growled. However, his childish voice didn't sound so dangerous yet; his eyes were hard with fury.
'Are you mad at me?' She asked with wide eyes. 'I told him, I loved someone else!' She added and curled against his side.
'Of course I am not angry with you... I am angry with him! I want to meet with this Charlie!' Darien murmured and snarled when he thought about the other male. Fury overcame him. Nobody could take her away from him!
'Oh no! No, Darien! I don't want you to get hurt.' she answered licking his nose to calm him down. 'Nothing happened! Mom and Lady Suzan told him off! They said something about he should watch what he is saying and it would get him in trouble with someone if he says stupid things like these again. I just really don't understand... Charlie was my best friend and now... He said he would mark me. I don't know what that means, but it doesn't sound right.' she sighed. Darien jumped up the fur standing up on his neck.
He could still remember about the other day when they were playing in the clearing and he had had a sudden urge to bite her neck. After that day, he had spoken with his father about it.
Flashback
"Dad?" Darien asked hesitantly and walked into his father's study down casting his eyes shyly.
"Darien! What is wrong son?" Damian smiled and frowned when his son looked anywhere but at him.
"Have you... ever felt the urge..." Darien began but didn't find the right words to ask his question.
"Darien? Is something wrong?" Damian stood up from his chair and walking to his son, he kneeled down so he could look in his eyes.
"Have you ever felt to urge to... to bite someone's neck?" Darien murmured finally half ashamed that he said something wrong, that something is wrong with him. Maybe he meant danger for her...
"Oh. You and the boys were fighting again?" Damian smiled relieved patting his son's shoulders. "The neck is a good place to bite, that is the most sensitive spot to-"
"No... Not in a fight... I mean... Biting a girl's neck..." Darien flushed looking away from his father's surprised eyes.
"A... girl's neck? Why do you ask?" Damian asked worriedly.
"I just..."
"Darien? Is there something you are not telling me? Have you met a girl?"
"No." Darien murmured. He hated lying to his parents, but he wasn't allowed to leave the park nearby the house. He couldn't tell them about her. "No... I just heard some other guys talking about it."
"This is an instinct. Every male feels this way when... when marking his mate. Don't worry son! You don't have to care about these things for a few more years." Damian smiled and patting his shoulders again, he went back to his desk.
End of Flashback
'Darien?' The small silver wolf looked up in his eyes hesitantly.
'He can't! I won't allow it!' Darien shouted.
'Don't worry! I don't think he will. I do not feel comfortable around him or anyone else besides you. They can't come near enough to mmm mark me.' she smiled and buried her face in his neck.
Darien's eyes snapped open. What a dream! Slowly he turned to look at the sleeping girl beside him. That small silver wolf looked just like his Serenity should have looked like when she was smaller. He shook his head. His mind was playing with him again.
"It seems you are in my mind in every moment. Never mind if I am awake or asleep. Not that I mind." he whispered tenderly in her ears, careful not to wake her up.
He had only a few memories from his childhood even less from his early years, before the sickness. It seemed his mind decided to fill the gasps with fake-memories of his love. He shook his head again and kissing her bite mark lovingly, he wrapped his arms around her waist. Serenity sighed in her dreams.
"Darien." she murmured causing his smile to widen on his face.
---
Serenity opened her eyes slowly. She could smell eggs and bacons and fresh tea. Breakfast must have been ready. The sun was bright and warmed her face causing her to sigh and take a deep breath. Darien's tempting scent filled her nose and her heart began its erect beating. She felt gentle fingers caressing her naked back up and down, up and down.
Smiling she pushed her back farther in the caressing hands. Darien chuckled, wrapped his strong arms around her waist from behind pulling her closer, and kissed the back of her neck lovingly.
"Did you sleep well?" he whispered against her skin.
"Mmm." Serenity murmured and turned to her back. Darien caressed her face gently and kissed her lips once, then again, and again. Serenity giggled while he took her wrists in one hand and pulled them over her head.
"You are mine." he mumbled against his skin as he kissed her neck, her throat, and her shoulders. Serenity giggled again gasping when he kissed a sensitive spot.
"You are so possessive, don't you think?" she whispered.
"Maybe a little." he admitted and smiling against her soft skin. The intimate moment ended when Serenity's stomach grumbled. Darien went still and stared in her eyes. Serenity flushed when he burst out laughing.
"Come, breakfast is ready." He laughed and jumped out of the bed. Serenity's eyes widened and she quickly turned her eyes away from his naked body. Darien raised an eyebrow.
"What? Don't tell me you are shy now? I don't remember you flushing even once during last night." He winked and walked back to the bed. Serenity flushed even more. Laughing he wrapped the blanket around her, took her in his arms and spun around with her. Finally, he put her down and went to the closet.
Serenity held the blanket close to her body and watched as Darien put his clothes on.
"Are you planning to stand in the middle of the room the whole day, wearing nothing else but a blanket?" he asked laughing when someone knocked on the door.
Serenity rolled her eyes and to change the topic, she walked to the door she opened it. Zoisite stared at her with open mouth but the door snapped closed in the next moment.
Darien stared at Serenity with angry eyes. His palm rested above her head against the door, where he swung it closed.
"Are you crazy?" he hissed his eyes never leaving her body.
Serenity blinked confused then slowly she followed his eyes. Her mind began to work again. She was standing completely naked only the blanked covering her body.
"Oh!" she yelped and ran towards the bathroom.
"Oh..." Darien repeated her word shaking his head. "You are going to be my downfall." he added and turning toward the door again, he opened it. Zoisite stood there nursing his nose.
"Watch it next time. That door can hurt, you know." he murmured. Darien only rolled his eyes.
"Anyway, after breakfast the Elders want to talk with you." he added. Taking a big breath, he grinned. "Did you have a good night?"
Darien narrowed his eyes. "Get out or I can show you how much my fists can hurt." he said and swung the door closed again. Zoisite shook his head smiling and walked away.
---
"Don't you have to talk with Elders? Zoisite said after breakfast-" Serenity began once she swallowed the last bit of her toasts.
"They can wait. I wanted to show you something first." Darien smiled and helped her from her chair. They walked along a floor when suddenly they heard shouting and throwing from a room. Serenity looked surprised towards the room. Darien sword and taking her hand in his he lead her into a nearby room. Serenity looked around. It seemed like a small living room.
"Can you please wait here? I think... I should talk with the Elders." Darien glanced towards the floor again. Serenity nodded and watched him leave the room worriedly.
---
"We all know that what he is saying is impossible!" Joe, a member of the Elders, shouted.
"Is it really?" Suzan smiled sitting on her chair calmly.
"Care to tell me what is going on here?" Darien asked. Everyone went quiet when he entered the room. He stood in front of the door frowning. Not only the Elders, but Suzan, his four best friends, plus, Samuel, Ann, Alan and Beryl was there too. Some of the people were standing, staring angrily at Suzan or at each other. True to their wolfish nature and sudden anger, there were a few chairs and vases broken on the floor.
"Darien! We were waiting for you. We need to talk." An older man said.
"Well, I am listening now." Darien answered still frowning and sat down on a chair. There was silence in the room for a moment. Finally, Joe cleared his throat.
"What you said yesterday... about the girl... that she is your soul mate... Darien, she is not."
"First of all, the GIRL has a name, and I would appreciate if you would call her by it. Second, don't you think I should know, feel, if she is my soul mate or not?" Darien said forcing calm in his voice, but his fists trembled with anger.
"Darien, we all know, how much you wanted to find your soul mate... It can be that your mind is playing a cruel trick with you. You think she is yo-" Samuel began but Darien snarled at him.
"Nonsense." he groaned.
"Nonsense is, that you think she is your soul mate!" Alan shouted jumping up from his chair not caring about Darien's fury filled eyes.
"Darien... we KNOW she is not your soul mate." Joe muttered quietly.
"Ridicules!" Darien jumped up as well. His whole body trembled with rage. "How could you possibly know?!" he hissed.
"Because your soul mate is DEAD!" Alan shouted with a smug smile. Stunned silence filled the room. "Someone had to say it! The Elders know she is dead!"
"What the hell are you talking about?!" Darien shouted taking a step towards Alan.
"Wait Darien. He is right... We didn't want to tell you but... Your parents found your soul mate when you were only a little a puppy." An older man began with down casted eyes.
"The Nemesis-pack killed her parents, and almost every member of her pack. There was a huge fire and they all died." Joe finished quietly.
"I don't remember my parents ever introducing me to my 'soul mate'." Darien hissed his eyes furious.
"You never met her. Nobody knew her, not even her name... only your parents and hers..." Joe whispered sadly.
"If we haven't met, how do you know we were soul mates?!" Darien shouted angrily.
"The girl's mother was able to see the bonds. At the beginning we didn't want to believe it either, but... after the attack and fire... when the girl died... you got very sick. We know what it feels like to lose your soul mate. We should be happy you didn't die as well!"
"You are wrong! I know what I am feeling! It isn't just my imagination! Serenity IS my soul mate!" Darien shouted angrily.
"She is dead Darien! Your soul mate is dead!" Alan shouted back.
Darien jumped to hit Alan, when Suzan stood up.
"Nobody ever found her body." She said quietly from the corner. Every eye turned towards her.
"Practically you can't be sure she is dead." she said taking a sip from her tea.
"I don't care if she is dead or missing! I don't give a damn about her! All I care about Serenity! She IS my life! She IS my soul mate! Try to hurt her and I will be more than happy to prove it to you! I am the Alpha! Anyone has any problem I am ready for a fight!" He shouted and grabbing the chair he was sitting on he threw it to the floor and the chair broke at tiny pieces. Silence filled the room again.
"Darien, don't misunderstand us. Of course, we are happy that you found a mate. Someone you can love. We don't want to take her away from you-" Samuel began. Beryl and Ann hissed. "We just wanted to tell you that calling her soul mate or Chérie might be a bit too much..."
"I know what I am feeling." Darien groaned and turning on his heels and walked away. Suddenly Suzan stepped in front of him.
"I believe you, young Prince. I was waiting for this day so long." she smiled and kissed his forehead lightly. "Trust your dreams, Darien." she whispered and walked out the room.
"You all know that Mina can see the bonds as well. She is 100% sure, what Darien said is right. Serenity is his soul mate." Kunzite said standing up as well.
"Mina just found out about her ability! She can't be sure. AND she and her little group are obviously fond of her! Sure, she would say that!" Beryl hissed.
"Watch your mouth Beryl!" Kunzite snapped back. Everybody began to whisper in the room.
"Everybody calm down, please. Like I said, we didn't mean to part you from her. We just told you what we knew. If Darien says Serenity is her soul mate then I believe him." Samuel added. Kunzite, Jedite, Nephrite and Zoisite nodded as well. Some of the Elders nodded as well, some of them sighed and shook their heads. But nobody opposed the Alpha.

Serenity looked around the room bored. Darien wasn't back yet and she had no idea what to do. She had already examined all the paintings in the room. Sighing she sat back in the chair and fidgeted with the end of her blue dress when the door opened.
"Oh! Sorry, I didn't know you were here." A young, brown haired, brown eyes man stepped in the room.
"It is all right. I am just waiting for Darien." Serenity smiled.
"Oh, I think he is on a meeting. My name is Charlie by the way. We met yesterday." he smiled.
"Nice to meet you." Serenity nodded. They stood in silence for a while.
"I think the meeting will take a while. Would you like to see the garden until Darien comes back?" Charlie asked nervously.
Serenity's eyes lit up with excitement. "Oh yes! I would like that! Thank you!" She said happily and Charlie leaded her towards the garden.
Serenity looked around in awe. The garden was huge with a lot of flowers. "It is beautiful!" she gasped. Charlie told her everything about the garden, its history, the names of the flowers, everything. Once they reached the fountain in the middle of the garden, Serenity gasped again.
"Oh my God it is really beautiful!"
"Yes." Charlie answered; not taking his eyes off of the girl standing with her back towards him then cleared his throat. "We were surprised, when Darien said he found his soul mate." he said hesitantly. "I am sorry. I am sure you hope for a better greeting."
"It is all right. I understand." Serenity smiled.
Charlie took a step closer to her. "I can understand what Darien sees in you. You are truly beautiful."
Serenity looked at him nervously and flushed. "Thank you." she said and took a step back. However, she fell over a twig. Charlie grabbed her right arms. Smiling sadly at her, he let her arms go and took a step back.
"I see Darien didn't waste his time in finishing the bonding." he murmured.
Serenity looked at him confused. "How-"
"His scent is all over you." Charlie sighed. "Sorry, about before." he added.
"It is all right. It is just..."
"I know. You are his. Sorry again." he said and sighed. They went quiet again. "You look somehow familiar." he said after a while.
"I do?" Serenity asked out of politeness.
"Mmmm never mind. So, you lived with the humans before?" Charlie asked changing the subject. Serenity nodded and opened her mouth to tell him about it when Darien's scent filled her nose. A happy smile appeared on her lips and she turned towards a bush of forget-me-nots.
"Sere?" Darien asked.
When he turned the corner, Serenity ran in his open arms happily. "Darien!"
Darien hugged her delicate body close to his and glanced towards Charlie frowning. Charlie nodded smiled sadly at the couple and hurried away.
"What were you doing here?" Darien asked and leaded her to a bench.
"I was bored and met Charlie. He asked me if I wanted to see the garden and I said yes." Serenity answered. Darien's frown deepened.
"Darien? You are not jealous, right?" Serenity asked smiling. When Darien only mumbled in response, she burst out laughing. "He only showed me around the garden!" she whispered in his ears and kissed his lips lightly. Darien sighed and his body relaxed a bit.
"I wanted to show you around the garden." he mumbled. Taking her right hand in his, he kissed the exact same spot, where Charlie grabbed her before, and saved her from falling on the ground. Serenity raised an eyebrow.
"I don't like other male's scent on you." he whispered.
Serenity shook her head and climbed on his lap. "I love you." she whispered and closing her eyes, she rested her head on his chest. Darien tightened his arms around her and kissed her temple lovingly. "I love you too."
