I shook my head. “I don’t know. It was so weird. But mom… she kept saying something about me being in heat? I’m still trying to figure out what that means.”
Killian sat up a bit, resting his back against the headboard. I followed his lead and sat with him.
He looked at me seriously. “Liana, in this life… it’s not just humans that exist. There are supernatural beings. Creatures people only whisper about.”
I blinked at him, almost laughing. “Okay, like vampires? So those are real?” I raised a brow. “Am I one? ‘Cause… I saw my teeth. They were… different. Sharp.”
He didn’t smile. Not even a bit.
“I’m not a vampire,” he said softly. “Though yes, they exist. But I’m something else. I’m a werewolf.”
I stared at him, stunned. “Huh?”
“I’m a werewolf, Liana and not just any werewolf. I’m an Alpha. I lead a pack.”
I squinted at him. “You’re a what now? A leader? Of werewolves?”He nodded, no hesitation.
I let out a soft laugh, then covered my mouth. “Are you joking? This is insane.”
“I wish I was. But I’m not.”
I stared at him. The man beside me, the man I had fallen for, hated, feared, and longed for, was telling me he wasn’t even fully human?
“And… me?” I whispered.
He sighed and reached for my hand again. “You’re my mate. My fated mate. That’s why I avoided you for years. That’s why I stayed away all through your teens. Until you were nineteen.”
My heart dropped.
He looked at me now with guilt in his eyes. “I tried to fight it, Liana. I really did. But when I came back that year… I was in rut.”
“What’s rut?” I asked.
He rubbed the back of his neck. “It’s… a biological phase male werewolves go through. It’s intense. It comes with a strong urge to mate. It’s like our bodies go into overdrive. Every instinct is focused on our mate. We feel this constant pressure, this need to touch, to take, to claim. It’s painful to resist, especially when our mate is near.”
I blinked slowly. My mouth went dry. “So… your body was calling for me? Like… sexually?”
He nodded, not even flinching. “Yes. Exactly that. I couldn’t sleep. Couldn’t think. I was fighting couldn’t take it anymore. I was trying to handle it myself, and that’s when you walked in.”
My eyes widened. “So that’s why you were jerking off that night?” it every second. That night, I
He nodded. “Yes. I was trying to relieve the pressure, trying to stay away from you. But my body, my instincts, wanted you. That’s why you saw me that way.”
I looked away, swallowing hard.
He lifted my chin gently. “And that mark on your neck… it’s not a tattoo. That’s my mark. I claimed you, even before I understood what it would do to you. That’s why people treat you differently. You carry the Alpha’s mark. It’s a sign of power. A sign you’re mine. No one else in this city has that. Only you.”
My head spun.
“But… what about your wife?” I asked softly.
He shook his head. “We never marked each other. We’re married only by paper, not by bond. We haven’t even consummated it. She’s not my mate, You are.”
I didn’t even know what to say to that. I nodded slowly, my brain still catching up. My hand found his chest again, and I absentmindedly pinched his nipple. He didn’t even flinch. Just stared at me, like he was waiting.
Then he spoke again. “So… you didn’t know?”
“Know what?”
“That I was a werewolf. That you were my mate.”
I shook my head and chuckled, but it was a weak laugh. “No, I didn’t know, and is it… contagious? I mean, I was normal. Then suddenly I’m hot all over, burning, my teeth look weird, my eyes were red… I looked like a monster, Killian.”
He reached for me again, pulling me closer. “You’re not a monster. and no, it’s not contagious. Werewolves don’t turn their mates the way vampires do. We don’t bite and infect. It doesn’t work that way.”
LIANA’S POV
He sighed. “The only person who can answer that right now… should be your dad. I think he has a whole lot to tell you.”
“You’re right,” I said, trying to sit up, but the second I moved, my legs gave out and I flopped right back onto the bed.
Killian chuckled. “Where do you think you’re going like that?”
“Bathroom,” I muttered, a little embarrassed. “I need to shower.”
He didn’t argue. He just scooped me up like I weighed nothing and carried me into the bathroom.
What started as a bath quickly, turned into something else entirely ti and rinsed my body. But the moment the warm water touched me, so did the fire again. His eyes lingered on my skin, and I could feel his hunger like heat against my back. He reached out and rubbed my shoulders, massaging slowly, then let his hands drift down.
By the time I turned to face him, his mouth was already on mine, hard and deep. Water streamed over us from the rainfall shower above, soaking his shirt, which he ripped off and tossed aside. I leaned back against the wall as he kissed down my throat, sucking and biting while his hands explored every part of me. of me.
He lifted my thigh, hooking it over his arm, and slid inside me with a slow, deep thrust. The wall was cold against my back, but his body was hot, pulsing, filling me so completely I cried out. He moved fast, hard, slamming into me with enough force to shake the tiles. I clung to him, my nails digging into his back as he fucked me through the steam.
He turned me around, bent me over the edge of the bathtub, and entered me again, rougher this time. I braced my hands on the tub edge while he grabbed my hips and pounded into me from behind, groaning low in my ear as his fingers left marks on my skin.
After that, he pulled me into the tub, sat down with me straddling him, and fucked me slow and deep while water swirled around us. My head lolled back, his mouth on my breasts, his hands gripping my ass, moving me at his pace until we both trembled.
It felt like we were in there forever. By the time we were done, my legs were jelly, and I was soaked inside and out.
We finally got dressed, My body was sore, but I didn’t care. I felt clean, safe, and strangely calm. Killian held my hand as we made our way to the living room.
My stepmom and dad were already there. Both of them looked like they hadn’t slept all night. Their faces were tight with worry, but when they saw us, they stood up immediately, their shoulders dropping.
“Oh thank God,” Moni breathed out, rushing over to hug me. “You’re okay, sweetheart. You scared us.”
I hugged her back, still shaken, but stronger now
My dad looked at Killian. “Thank you… for what you did
His voice was gruff. But the way he looked at Killian? It wasn’t just gratitude. There was a silent accusation in his eyes. The kind that says I-know-exactly what you-did-to-my-daughter-under-my-roof kinda look.
Killian nodded respectfully, but didn’t say anything. He let go of my hand, probably out of consideration.
But I didn’t let go.
I grabbed his hand again, holding it tighter this time.
