Beastly novel Chapter 46

Marcus and I had spent the next few hours catching up, his arm firmly wrapped around me as we laughed and cried together. Although I did most of the crying, I had seen the emotions in his eyes that were undeniable. I laid next to him on the bed now, quietly staring at the ceiling and allowing myself to bask in his warmth.

"How does your chest feel?" I asked him, wondering how he was able to move and talk this much despite the damage that he had taken from me

"Oh, it's fine. It'll be healed before the end of tomorrow, I'm sure. I feel a sharp pain there once in a while but nothing I can't handle." He responded. I winced, looking up at him

"I'm really sorry about that. I still have no idea why I did that. It was like I-"

"Like you weren't yourself." he completed and smiled at me "You were. Just not one you're familiar with. It was probably my fault for coming close to you the way I did."

"What does that even mean? It seems like you know much more about this than I do."

"About what?"

I raised my hand, bending it into a gun form "Yknow zap zap, boom boom." He began to laugh, the vibrations of his body passing to me and out of embarrassment, I sat up and sulked. "Don't laugh at me. That was the only way I could describe it!"

"Zap zap, boom boom? How intelligent," he said jokingly

"I should have put that spear deeper inside you, shouldn't I?"

"You've become so violent over the years. Is it because of your mate?"

"I'm not violent. Just very expressive." I tried to keep the heat from rising to my cheeks

"Sure." His eyes were shining as they gazed at me, a grin on his face "Your powers got activated for one reason alone; your mate."

Wait, what?

"What do you mean? What does Alexander have to do with anything?"

"Once in a while, werewolves are born with powers that they say, were gifted to them from heavenly beings and the orders of fate." He started "These werewolves are always female and as a safety precaution, their powers do not activate until they've met their mate. Think of it like a time bomb, when the time comes for it to explode, there's really no stopping it. Unless of course, a wire were to be cut, meaning unless you died. Also, the more time spent near them, the more your powers mature."

Heavenly beings? Orders of fate? If he didn't have a serious expression on his face, I'd have burst out laughing. I'm sure I looked at him he had grown two heads.

"I'm not understanding any of this." I said, genuinely confused

"There are many things I need to teach you. That's why I decided I couldn't keep away any longer. If I hadn't sneaked in the period your mate wasn't around, I probably wouldn't have gotten a chance to meet you again. To answer your question from before simply, you attacked me because you detected me as a threat because, in a way, we have the same wavelength of energy."

Marcus had explained to me how on the night of the accident, he had not been able to interfere because of Xander's arrival. He had gone off to investigate the people that had attacked us and found that they had connections to this cult group that was obsessed with me. They and the ones that had gone around cutting down girls that looked like me. Xander would have to take some time out to listen to Marcus and the scary things he had found out. He hadn't been able to enter the pack easily due to Xander's presence, for some reason.
