Her Burning Desire
Chapter 27

Melony

As I stirred awake the next morning, I started to stretch my limbs when I felt a sore pull from between my legs. I was confused on why I would be sore, then my eyes shot open as I remembered the night before. I mated and marked with Theodore. I was mated and marked to my wonderful mate. I shot my head at his side of the bed. When I saw it empty, I hate to admit I felt a tinge of disappointment run through me. Did he leave me in the night? Was he regretting his decision? I started to panic, and my heart rate started to increase. I was startled when I heard a voice run through my head.

"Melony! Whats wrong?! Are you okay?!" Theo?

"Yes baby," I heard him chuckle at my words. It wasn't so much of a question as it was that I forgot we could mindlink now. "Are you okay, Mel? I can feel your panic through the bond."

I let out a sigh of relief, Yes, Theodore, I am okay. I just woke up and you weren't here. I th-thought that maybe, y..you regretted your decision...and left.

"Oh, Mel, I'm sorry. I just woke earlier than normal, so I could finish some business and hopefully be free of my duties for today. I would really like to spend the day with you. I just wanted to get this work out of the way first. I will be there soon to collect you and we can go eat breakfast together."

A smile broke out across my face. I will start to get ready then! I jumped up from the bed and ran to my room and into the bathroom to take a quick shower. As I waited for the water to warm up, I stripped out of my clothes and turned to have a look in the mirror. I looked at my very naked self and gasped. How is it possible that I feel and look stronger than I did yesterday? I have always been a very curvy female. I just look like I have a little bit more muscle than I do now. My eyes roamed everywhere, eventually they settled on my mark. I couldn't help but touch it. It was a moon with a black wolf looking up at it and the whole thing was sparkling. It was beautiful. I quickly took my phone out and took a picture of it to send to Theo with the words, "Forever" as the text. I jumped into the shower and quickly washed up. As I stepped out of the shower, I saw Theo had replied to my message. "If you think yours is beautiful, wait till you see mine." Then I saw he sent a second message with a picture of his mark and the word "Always" attached with it. His was... breathtaking. I've never seen anything like it before. It was a full moon surrounded by stars. My white wolf laid down in a grassy area howling. The entire mark shined bright just like mine, but instead of a white shine, his shined purple. It was gorgeous. I felt love run through my entire body. I loved this man so much already, and I was happy. Truly happy. I decided to play some music as I got ready. I clicked on Pandora and hit a random station. I grabbed a black bralet and a black silk thong. I picked out my outfit, selecting my white button up. I would just tie the bottom up in a knot and the rest would be exposed with my bralet and green army capris with a white pair of vans. I carried my clothes out by swaying my hips to the music. I placed my outfit on the bed to get dressed when 'Man I Feel Like a Woman' by Shania Twain came on. I started to sing and dance all around my room. I grabbed my brush off my vanity and jumped on my bed to dance around, I shook my b**t and moved my hips, flipping my hair all over. After last night and how happy I was with my mate, I really did feel like a woman now. I was still jumping around when I heard another voice join in with me. I turned to see my co-singer and couldn't help but laugh.

There standing before me was no other than Mark, my body guard and the Alphas gamma grabbing my curling wand as a microphone. He sung out the chorus, kicking his leg out in front of him when he said 'Man, I feel like a woman'. Then, as quickly as the entertainment came, it was gone when Mark was grabbed by his collar on the back of his shirt and tossed toward the door.

"Go feel like a woman somewhere else, Gamma, just not where my half-naked mate is." Theodore was glaring at him and growling.

Mark finished singing as he made his way to the door. Giving me a quick wink as he walked out. I had to stifle my laugh with my hand. Theodore was shaking his head as he walked toward my bed. "Sometimes I swear he is still a boy, and I question why he is my Gamma. Then I remember growing up with him and his fighting abilities and I let it slide, BUT damn does he push my buttons sometimes."

I moved toward the end of my bed and wrapped my arms around Theos neck. I ran my finger down the length of his nose, kissing the tip of it and moved to whisper in his ear. "Depending on your punishments, I think I would like to push a few of those buttons." I heard a throaty growl escape from my mate as he lifted me by my bottom. I wrapped my legs around his waist. Theodore connected his lips to mine. I moved my head to the side to deepen our kiss. We pulled away, as we both needed to restock air in our lungs. Theo released his hold on me and my feet landed on the ground in front of him.

"After your little show that I walked in on, and you whispering your dirty words, if you don't go get dressed now I am afraid we won't leave this room at all. My sexy little mate." Theodore slapped me on my a*s as I walked by him to my clothes.

I turned around and gave him my best mischievous smile I could. I ran into the bathroom and put my outfit on and put my hair up in a high messy bun. I placed some small hoop earrings on and gave my lips a good coat of gloss before I exited. "Ready?!" I caught Theo off guard as he had jumped a little bit. When he turned and looked at my outfit, he mean-mugged me. MEAN-MUGGED.

I threw my hand over my chest in mock shock, "Did I just get mean-mugged by the big bad Alpha?!"

"Melony, are you trying to kill all my men in this pack? The things you dress in sometimes, I swear, it's a death wish on them." He had his fingers pinching the bridge of his nose and shaking his head at me.

I moved over to him, with my hands up on his chest, I stared into his wonderfully blue eyes, "Babe, I am yours. I bare your mark now, everyone will smell you on me and none of them would dare try to take something away from the fiercest Alpha of our kind." Theo placed his hands on my hips and kissed my forehead.

"Okay, fine, ONLY because I am spending all day today with you am I allowing this wardrobe malfunction to happen. All that aside, you look beautiful today, Mel. I love it when you aren't wearing make-up. You're absolutely perfect."

"Thank you babe. I think you look perfect without make-up also." I smiled.

Theodore just shook his head and laughed at me. Hand in hand, we made our way out of my room. When we exited and entered the hallway, I saw Mark standing there waiting for us. \

"Hey Shania, when your done borrowing my curling wand you can place it next to my door, I am going to need that back

Mark stuck his tongue out at me, "I was just joining in on the dance party. I always wondered what girls do during their sleep overs and if it's anything like that, and wearing stuff like that, I think I need to replace myself an invitation to one." He sat my wand next to my door and started to follow. "So that being said, when will you and Olive be having a sleep over?"

I felt my mate tense beside me and his eyes started to flicker with his wolf. He turned toward Mark with his chest vibrating. Mark shot his hands up in surrender. "It was just a joke, Alpha, I swear."

"Your damn right, it was just a joke. You will never be having a sleep over with my mate and your Luna, or see her in that attire again. Do you understand, Gamma?!" Theodore was very on edge. I rubbed my hand over his back and rested my head on his side, hopefully calming him down.

Mark lowered his head in submission. "Yes Alpha, no sleepovers, and no witnessing our Luna in her undergarments."

Theodore huffed and started to relax against me as we turned to head to the dining room for breakfast, just as we were descending the stairs. I turned my head around to look at Mark and then stuck my own tongue out at him. He took his hand to his forehead with an 'L' shape facing me, and mouthed "loser".

I don't know if this is what it feels like to have a brother, but I really feel like Mark would be mine.
