A few weeks later, the Major comes into my room and smirks at me.
"It's time for you to change." He states and I jump into his lap happily, hugging him.
"Can we do it now? I want to get this over with! I want to be your mate forever." I ask excitedly and he grins, pulling me closer.
"May I bite you, my mate?" He purrs sensually in my ear and I shiver, nodding. His cold breath caresses my neck as his tongue gently laps at my pulse. "Are you certain?" He breathes, nipping slightly on my skin.
"Yes, major." I moan embarrassingly and he chuckles darkly, quickly pecking my pulse before sinking his teeth into my neck. Hot fire spreads through me instantly and he takes a few mouthfuls of blood before sealing the mark with his venom, instantly healing the surface of it. I whimper as he pulls away, placing me on the bed. My muscles spasm in pain but I keep from screaming since I want to prove I'm as strong as my mate, the God of War, Ares…. My Major. Slicing pain shoots through my wrists and ankles and, finally, my inner thigh. Now my whole body is on fire.
"M-major." I whimper as he gathers me in his arms. He hums, stroking my hair calmingly. "C-claim me." I choke out and he freezes against me.
"While you are changing?" He questions, the tone clearly wondering if I'm insane.
"Y-yes… I w-w-ant to b-be y-yours." I stammer and he rearranges me slightly and opens my eyes so he can look into them.
"Are you sure? If you'd want to I will do it but I am not sure how it will feel for you while you are changing." He states seriously and groans.
"Y-yes, m-my m-m-ate." I choke out and he lets out a mixture between a purr and a growl. His hands instantly flashes over my body, ripping my clothes off. As he works my body into the pleasure only he can give, I feel the fire lessening. Moaning, I buck against him and he purrs louder.
Three days later, I'm still wrapped up in his arms. His body is pressing mine into the mattress which makes a safe fuzzy feeling fill me. My heart races suddenly and he pulls away slightly.
"You are almost finished, darlin'." He whispers, starting to pull away but I whimper so he lays down fully on me again. We lay in silence, the only sound of my raising heart until it reaches its peak. My heart grows forever silent. I can feel the air buzzing with electricity, feel the bond to my mate, the burning in my throat, hear the leaves rustling in the wind miles from here, but most importantly, I can feel my mate pressing against me. He is protecting me from everything, keeping my whole body covered and the only door in the room is barricaded with several pieces of furniture. I feel safe and peaceful.
"Darlin'?" My mate asks gently and I hum, the sound incredibly light and airy. I marvel at the tones for a little while. "I will get up now." He states and I let out an animal-like whine. He chuckles as he pulls away from me. My eyes snap open and find his crimson ones. He smiles gently and caresses my cheek before getting off me fully and standing between me and the door. I sit up slowly and my gaze automatically roams over his body. I lick my lips. Strong, powerful… deadly. He smirks at me and sends me some amusement.
"How was your change, darlin'?" He questions and my eyes snap to his again, as smirk on my lips.
"Very pleasurable." I purr, surprising myself with the sound. He smirks pleased.
"I'm glad. Come here, darlin'. It's time to hunt." He states and I hum, running to his side. He moves the furniture and then opens the door for us. I trail behind him, feeling slightly overwhelmed by all these new impressions but still safe with my mate there to protect me.
"Peter and Char will join us for the hunt." I tense slightly and he wraps an arm around my shoulders, tucking me into his side as we walk. "I'll protect you." He swears and I nod a little. We run into town and as we slow I see two heavily scarred vampires waiting for us. I growl slightly and automatically step in slightly behind my mate. Major grabs my left wrist but keeps me behind himself. I instantly feel calmer even though we come closer to them.
"At ease." He tells them and they relax from their submissive positions, I instantly press closer to my mate. "Sssh." He hums, pulling me into his side instead and soothing my hair. "Do you remember them?" He questions and when I nod hesitantly, he continues. "Then you know they are our coven. You will go to them if you need help and I'm not around. Peter can protect you almost as well as me." He commands and I hum slightly, relaxing as I take them in. I know they are safe.
"You ok, lill' bit?" Peter questions and I nod a little.
"Happy to be changed, just a little on edge." I admit and he grins at me.
"You seem to be taking it quite well, having conversations and all that." I grin and hug my mate's waist tighter.
"Let's get you some blood, darlin'." He purrs in my ear and I nod a little, placing one hand on my burning throat. They lead me into a less populated area and as I inhale I smell the sweet ambrosia that must be blood. I hug Major tighter.
"It smells so good." I whimper and he looks down surprised at me around his waist.
"You're not attacking?" He asks surprised. I look confused at him.
"Can I? Can I kill them? Is it for me?" I ask a little excitedly and he looks perplexed at me for a moment before pecking my cheek.
"Yes, darling', they are yours." He nods towards a group of men in an alley. I grin at him before flashing into the alley and grabbing them, sinking my teeth into one's neck. I make sure to stop before I tear his throat out and then I gulp the blood down hungrily. I moan slightly and grab my next victim when the first runs out. After that one I look over at my mate, holding out the third to him. Major grins, shaking his head.
"All yours, darlin'." He assures me and I smile at him before sinking my teeth into that man as well. When I'm done, I hurry to my mate's side. He nuzzles my neck and then kisses my temple.
"You did very well." He assures me and I beam up at him. "Let's go home." He pulls me with him. "How did you have so much control?" He questions as we run and I tilt my head to the side.
"I had?" I question and he grins.
"Yes, my mate. Newborns most often go crazy at the scent of blood but you even offered me one of them!" He states, amazed and I furrow my brows.
"But you are my mate, of course I want you to drink as well if you need blood?" I question and he freezes momentarily in surprise before tugging me closer.
"I love you." He purrs, pulling me into the woods instead. I follow him happily since I got the feeling he will claim me again.
