C8 Chapter 7

It has been a long two months since the incident and Star still didn't know but she had a bad feeling about everything.

Her relationship with Philip had progressed beautifully and now she wanted to feel that bond he said he felt with her.

She had also been training really hard with Philip because the one time other warriors saw her wolf form, they were scared to spar with her so Philip offered to train her personally.

He always praised her for being a fast learner and she felt proud of that ability, now recently although she trained alone, she could always feel a certain kind of power around her.

Philip was off checking the border because recent invasion of rogues were becoming rampant. These mini attacks started a month ago and he didn't know why but he was a strong Alpha so he wasn't really worried.

Most of the invaders were Omegas or normal wolves and anyone he brought in for questioning always replied with "just teasing for now, but won't be long" and then they died with something shot into their neck.

Checking the borders, there was no sign or scent of a strange person so all he could do was tighten border security.

Star always slept after lunch but she always kept his food in a warmer.

Currently a hand was gently stroking her hair and the scent was unfamiliar yet so delicious and enticing, she couldn't place her hand on what he smelt like but it was amazing so she leaned into the touch and continued her sleep.

After sometime, she felt that the hand had stopped and the scent was going away.

She opened her eyes and saw that no body was here. Lisa was squirming as if she was a bubble and had been touched but couldn't pop.

Star breathed in to inhale the last essence of the scent and it calmed Lisa.

"What are you doing?"

Shocked, she opened her eyes to see Philip looking at her, why hadn't she hear him walk in or even more smell him.

'you were enjoying the scent of course, it wrapped up ur mushed senses.' Lisa snickered.

"I just woke up, have you had lunch already?" She answered while blocking off communication with Lisa.

"Yes". He frowned slightly that she had ignored his question. It was a little unlike her.

He made his way to the bed and lay down pulling her to him.

"Let's rest a bit" he intended to sleep with her wrapped in his arms but Star had been thinking before she slept, she had been thinking for weeks.

"Philip, I'm ready" she whispered

'finally, you'll tell him' , Lisa sighed.

"Ready for what kitt.." but he was cut off by a kiss. Now he was the one who was shocked. Since they had started to be intimate, he always initiated the actions and this beautiful mate of his had never took the initiative to kiss him first or even hug him. She had not touched his cheek without shaking a little.

But now...

" Mark me", she said amidst trying to catch her breath.

Philip was stunned.

Was he sleeping, he pinched himself hard to be sure.

"I have always wanted to do that but why, Star", he only called her Star when he was serious or worried.

"I thought about it, I want to feel that bond you always talk about, I want to officially be your mate". She said while fumbling with the sheets.

He stood up abruptly and walked out of the room. She was confused. Didn't he say he wanted to?

She layed on the pillows and cried.

Maybe he wasn't satisfied with her.

Was she really not lovable? He hadn't said he loved her but he always said they were mates so that must mean he did.

After sobbing, she realized that it was time to prepare dinner and the Beta and Delta were having a meeting with the Alpha so she set their food and asked two omega men to deliver the food to the office. She couldn't face Philip after the silent rejection.

After having dinner, she went upstairs, took her bath and climbed the bed turning away from Philip's side.

Lisa had been howling in sorrow too. The pair were heartbroken.

She heard the door open and close, then the bed dipped and...

"Darling, are you sleeping?", He sounded unsure

"No"

"Sit up and look at me", he pleaded

She did as he said and he realized that she was putting on his dress shirt. She looked really hot.

She was trembling and soon he saw tears fall. His heart ached.

Did he make his girl cry? He pulled her into a hug

"Why won't you do it? Do you not like me? I thought I'm your mate? Did I do or say something wrong?" She cried

He pulled back and used his thumb to wipe the tears away.

"Shhh, it's alright. I was confused and too excited", he was really a fool to leave like that in the afternoon.

"Have you been crying?", He asked still soothing her

She nodded.

"Oh my goodness, I'm sorry Star. I shouldn't have" he was really sincere.

"Why do you suddenly want me to do it? I mean, of course I want to but why?" He needed to be sure she was ready.

"No one apart from my mother has ever protected or cared about me before", her heartbeat was picking up and she could here it. He could hear it.

"I like you Philip and I know I'm not worthy enough but..." She was cut off by his lips hot on hers

He couldn't let her continue to devalue herself.

"This will hurt a bit Darling", his eyes were darker now and he kissed her again.

Her body lit up and she squirmed as his mouth trailed down her neck and back to bite a little on her earlobe.

She moaned and pulled him closer as he sucked on a particular spot on her neck.

She shivered and ran her hand across his back.

He groaned and went back to kiss her lips as his hands explored the her sides.

Then he went back down to the spot and licked it again as his canines elongated

In the heat of the moment, he bit into her neck.

Star saw red as he bit her and the pain turned to pleasure as he licked on the spot, a new kind of warmth spilling into her.

He was back on her lips, kissing her, she traced circles on his neck and kissed a spot above his collar bone.

When had he taken off his shirt?

Philip groaned and she kissed him there again as he kissed the new mark.

She was finally his and he wanted to be hers

"Do it", he pleaded but he didn't have to because Lisa had taken over a little and bit on the spot.

He shivered, she licked and kissed the spot before going back to his lips.

He kissed her forehead later and pulled her in for cuddling.

His head on her neck where he marked her. He felt complete.

She felt really happy and this was the first time after a long time.
