Chapter Seven: Water Half Demon and Wolf Half Demon

Eden

"Shyann!" I shout at Ian. "You marked Shyann!"

"Now, Eden, it was involuntary and you know it!" he retorts. "Jodi's flute, had her name on it. Shyann Cage. It was etched in it plain as day!"

"How can Shyann hunt demons, when she's half of one!"

Ian's face grows cold. "You should know." He says, and he turns on his heal.

"Ian!" I screech. "Ian! You can't tell Anneal!"

"I've kept your secret this long, haven't I? I've done something for you, now you can do something for me. Shyann is my mate, and you can repay me by accepting that fact."

I stare at him, anger radiating off of me. "Fine." He smirks, and then leaves. I retreat to Anneal and I's bedroom, and lay down.

It was only shortly after Alec disappeared, when I found out that I to, was a half demon. But I didn't grow as fast as Shyann did, because my mother was a demon. Not my father.

My mother, a demon called Lakkakshi compelled my father Darren Cage, to fall in love with her. After they made love, she strengthened the compulsion, for him to stop using protection. She made him make love to her until she became pregnant.

Lakkakshi was a wolf demon. When I'm angry, my eyes faze yellow, like a wolf's. My nails are very sharp. My hearing and eyesight are better than any of the other huntress'. It was the only explanation. I feel my eyes phase yellow again.

"Eden." I look up.

Anneal stands over my hunched form. He gasps and stumbles back at the sight of my eyes. I swear, and force them back to their green.

"Eden?" Anneal says breathless. "What happened to you?"

"Nothing happened." I hiss. "This is who I am."

"You're a wolf demon." He sobs. "No."

Anneal collapses to his knees, in sobs.

I instantly am at his side. He jerks away from me, and my heart breaks.

"No." I whisper in my own sob. "My mother was. I'm a wolf half demon. Like Shyann. I'm only half."

Anneal meets my eyes. His glint with betrayal. "You never told me. All this time, and you never told me." He says exasperated. "Do I even love you?" he screams. "Did you force me to? Who are you?"

"No!" I scream, sobs cracking my words. "No, Anneal! I never knew! I only just figured it out!"

"And why should I believe you?"

"Because I love you." I whisper.

With tears leaking down my face, I grab Anneal's bare shoulder, and drag him right up to me. I place my lips on his, and put every emotion I've ever felt for him in the kiss. The strongest of all being love.

Anneal's body relaxes against mine, and he kisses me back, a growl rising in his throat. His hands clamp on my waist and hold me as tight as our heaving chests will let us.

I lock my arms around his neck, and he pulls my calf around his waist. I move the other around it, and Anneal pushes my back against the wall, so I get the leverage I need.

"I love you." He whispers against my neck.

I push his head back, and pull off my shirt.

He lays me back on our bed. He rolls over me and we kiss with urgency. Each kiss more passionate than the last.

Before I know it, both Anneal's and I's clothes are shed.

He moves over me, and my world explodes in ecstasy and pain. Anneal wipes me tears away with soft kisses, as he takes control over my body. His hips mold into mine. His tongue defeats mine. His hands own my breasts. His body controls mine.

We made love for hours. When we were finally finished, my body ached, but at the same time it never felt so amazing.

Anneal kisses my shoulder, as he rubs my back.

"I love you." He whispers.

"I love you to, Anneal." Gazing soulfully into his eyes, I add, "And don't ever doubt it."
