The Girl With Lycan Blood novel Chapter 14

I was his, I barred his mark on my skin.

It's been a week since Tyler's marked me and we've been closer than ever. It's starting to feel like we're a normal couple, I feel normal, besides the pains I get from my whole 'making Lycan eggs' situation. I haven't seen my Dad since he told me about my gift, it's like he just disappeared again. He said that he would come back but it's been three weeks. I haven't seen Frank because he went back to Moon Stone before my dad showed up.

The rouge sitings have drastically decreased and it's really helping with my nerves about people taking me. But something is telling me that the battle isn't over yet, it hasn't even started.

"Anna, your spacing out again." Katy wines as she tells me about a hot guy she talked to at school.

"Sorry, but didn't you say he had a girlfriend?" I question her, with a confused look on my face.

"So? I'll just steal him?" Katy explains like I'm stupid.

"You're going to steal her boyfriend?"

"Well, when you put it that way..." Katy frowns.

I roll my eyes at her and continue eating lunch, that I made. Katy and I are like sisters now, we share secrets, paint each other's nails, watch romantic chick flicks. It reminds me of the stuff I used to do with my sister, Stella. I shake the thoughts of her out of my head, I don't want to start balling.

"Since it's Saturday—let's go to the mall," Katy suggests as she finishes off her grilled cheese.

Katy doesn't know about my mark yet, I've been wearing my hair down all week to hide it from her. I just want a little bit of time before I inform her, I'm not ready for screaming.

"Sure why not." I agree and take our empty plates to the sink. I could use a girl day. "Let me go tell Tyler."

"Oh, he should be on the training fields." Katy reminds me. "I'm going to go get ready!" She cheers and heads upstairs.

She has such a bright personality, I'm glad I ran into her in the woods, if I didn't I would still be mateless in Seattle. I make my way over to the training fields in the cold weather, if I wasn't a wolf I would get frostbite. I see some people training ahead, the closer I get the more one looks like Tyler. The wind blows straight on me causing my hair to fly back, now my mark is in perfect view. I grab my hair and hold it down, we aren't telling people yet.

I walk up behind Tyler and my scaring thoughts come to mind. I quietly tip toe up to him and give the people he's talking to a signal to not tell him. They just shake their heads, like they know I can't scare him. I start running and jump on his back yelling 'boo!'.

Suddenly he grabs my legs and flips me over him and I land on the hard, cold grass with a thud. I whine on the floor as the pain hits my head and back side.

"Anna! What were you thinking?" Tyler helps me up with a worried face. "Are you okay?"

I just groan in response. "I just came to tell you that Katy and I are going to the mall." My voice sounds like a mans. I really need to crack my back now.

"Okay..." My inner self-cheers."But bring Jackson."

"Why were fine on our own." I protest, trying to win him over.

"Jackson is going with you guys for protection, I don't want anything to happen to my sister and my mate." He fights back and helps me up.

I can't win that battle, he just wants us to be safe. I sigh and yell for Jackson who is training also. "Jackson! Come on we're going shopping!" I call in front of everyone.

Some of the girls start to giggle and Jackson sends me a 'thanks, Anna... Not' glare. I roll my eyes and motion for him to hurry up. He jogs to Tyler and I while shaking his head.

"Jackson I need you to go with Katy and Anna to the mall." Tyler orders, but not in an Alpha voice but more like 'sucks to be you'.

He lets out a deep sigh. "Fine, but only because she's your mate and Katy's your sister, and I just happen to be your friend also."

"Yay. Okay bye, Tyler."

He turns around and faces the training field again. What no goodbye kiss?

I clear my throat and he turns around. "Oh, my credit cards on my desk." He informs me and turns back around, watching to Werewolves spar.

"No, Tyler not that."

He turns back around with a confused face, and shrugs as if asking what?

"Fine, I guess you don't want my goodbye kiss," I mutter pretending to act hurt. "Let's go Jackson."

"Wait I want it!" Tyler calls after me as I start to walk away.

I spin around and walk backward. "Too late!" Then I turn back facing the house and keep walking.

Suddenly I'm lifted up off of the grass and Tyler presses his lips to mine. My heart starts to swell; he ran after me.

"I always get what I want," Tyler says with satisfaction.

I playfully smack his chest and he places me back on the ground. "Whatever," I mumble trying not to smile like an idiot.

Jackson and I make our way back to the packed house and Jackson leaves to go get clothes from Tyler's room. Apparently, he has spare clothes here because they used to train together then come back and get to business with pack stuff. I fled to my room to quickly change into warmer clothes, it's colder outside than I thought. When I'm finished I grab my bag and head back downstairs to find Katy and Jackson watching TV, waiting for me.

"You ready?" Katy asks not taking her eyes from the screen, I find this normal because Friends is on.

"Yup lets go."

~•~

"How about this?" I hold up a purple beaded dress.

"Ew no!" Katy screeches as she scans through the dress rack.

"Katy choose something. We've been looking for an hour!" Jackson wines as he lays down on the cute waiting chairs.

Katy's Winter formal is coming up and she insisted on getting a dress today. We've been in three different dress stores, this is the last one. After the first store Jackson been complaining about the whole hour we've spent looking.

"How about this?" I hold up a long sweetheart neckline gold dress, the top is jeweled and sparkles.
