The Howl of Claim | COMPLETED

Dilapidar ( T o S q u a n d e r )

I walked into the room to find Darius standing facing the window with his back towards me.

Just like in the movies where the guy is about to deliver a very bad speech.

I also glanced out of the window only to see the snow that was falling again tonight. Beautiful.

The snow was so gentle on the ground as it touched it and then later there was another small snowflake on top of it creating a beautiful snow bed.

There are so many beautiful things if you just concentrate on them.

And then my friends was when my eyes moved somewhere else - The shirtless back of my mate.

No! Not concentrate there!

My jaw dropped and drool probably started leaking.

I have seen several men half-naked back in my pack but I never knew what a Lycan would look like - and now that I see him, he's beautiful.

I knew he was good under those clothes but this good? And this was only the back I was seeing.

He had muscle rippling in his back, showcasing his back beautifully. His skin was smooth but a few scars didn't go unnoticed.

My thighs felt wet.

And there was a tattoo in all that perfection.

A very big and long tattoo.

They were letters from a different language that started from between his shoulders and straight down his back, tracing his spine.

The tattoos covered his spine only, a straight line - a simple black tattoo but very attractive. I wonder what it meant.

My wolf decided it was time to interfere.

And then images were thrown in, how he would be on top of me with his sexy back or how I would trace his imperfections. How I would trail kisses down his back.

Just like he would kiss me.

At any other time, I would not be thinking all this but I was a female after all.

No.

I was an Alpha female near heat. Yes, blame it on the heat, status, and gender.

I wanted more time - more time to admire his back when he decided to cut my time short.

"I can smell your arousal, Love." I fisted my hands and sucked in a breath.

"It's not lik-" He turned around and my eyes fell out of the sockets.

"I don't mind, watch all you want, I am made for you and you only."

One word.

Heaven. He was sent from heaven.

"Am I up to your standards Love?" Can he stop with the love already? And what am I going to reply to that? He already knew he was!

Ignoring his question, I made my way to the large bed intending to pick the pillows And sheet up.

Darius didn't take the ignoring lightly.

I didn't know that he didn't like being ignored at first but I got to know it really soon.

The second I passed him with my eyes cast away from him, he grabbed my arm, twisted me around till my back was to his front and his two fingers near my heat.

"Well? You are more turned on than I thought."

My senses were haywire.

Fuck! I wanted to scream. What was this man doing to me?

I tried to get my arm free but it was of no use.

"Let me go!" I said sternly. He ignored me and I didn't like it.

I slammed my foot on his but it didn't seem to affect him.

"Let me go or I will seriously injure you." I was in no state to threaten him but it was worth a try.

"Sure, go on." I groaned internally and all the lust I had for him turned to anger.

I extended my claws and slashed his length of the arm that was near my heat. Even though he didn't let me go - only loosened his grip - I kept slashing his skin.

"I hate you!" I was angry that he didn't seem to give me a reaction. I knew it hurt him but he didn't show it instead he quietly watched me.

"Are you done?" His arm was bleeding, his blood dropping on the ground.

I turned to face him.

"No." I punched him in the chest and his face slightly turned to discomfort but was back to normal.

I punched him again, hoping for a reaction this time too but got nothing.

"Are you done now?"

"Yes." He let me go and I growled lowly.

I swiftly picked up pillows and sheet, moving towards the door but stopped when my mate added,

"No matter how much you try to get away from me, from this bond. You are just going to come back. You are always going to come back to me."

I slammed the door hard on my way out and threw the pillows and sheet on the ground of the long hall.

I slumped down and dragged a hand down my face.

How annoying.

I had my face in my hands when someone sat beside me. I peeked to the side.

"Marco?" He was sitting next to me, by choice.

Marco looked straight forward and I squinted my eyes at him.

"Why are you here, sitting next to me. Don't you hate me or something?"

"I don't hate you. I just dislike you. Your attitude, character, and your kind."

"You hate me." I summarised but he just shrugged.

"It's only a span of the month till you turn to a Lycan, we won't have problems then."

I scoffed. A month.

"Are you here to tell me that in how much time I will be mated? A month? And How are you so sure that it will be a month."

"Want to bet?" Marco pushed his palm forward and I realized how big his palm was. He was truly gigantic.

"100 dollars." He nodded as I slapped a hand on his palm.

We both cleaned out palms by the side of our clothes when we separated.

"So, may I ask why you are here?" He asked me and I sighed. Not wanting to tell him anything, I shook my head.

"Okay but just so you know, I still hate you."

"I knew you hated me." Marco shrugged again I found a smile finding its way to my lips.

"I just can't wait for King to tame you."

"Don't fuck with me right now. Not in the mood." I warned him but didn't seem to take my heed.

"More pleasure for me."

"Fuck off."

"No, I can't lose the only source of pleasure at the moment. I love to see you annoy-"

"Marco, I don't have you as my right hand in command to chat with brainless females. We need to talk, come in." And with that, Darius slammed the door shut.

How dare he call me brainless!

I stood up in pure fury and banged my fists against the hard door.

"You stupid Lycan! I will show you brainless! You cocksucker! Come out you piece of shit! I am going to fucking kill you!" I banged on the door, increasing the strength of my banging.

I didn't care if I need a filter on my lips.

The door opened and I stopped, my face was red with anger.

It was my Alpha pride that was hurt.

I waited for him to say something.

"Marco, I called you." He ignored me.

He slammed the door close again and my eyes went wide. He did not - tell me he just did not do that.

I watched Marco stand up and walk into the room after he closed my hanging jaw.

"I live for moments like these." He whispered to me before he closed the door after him.

My breathing quickened as I just could not believe this happened.

My body started shaking and I kicked the door hard.

"You stupid lycans!" My banging continued for another minute until I grew tired. I got no response.

Non.

I finally gave up and frustrated tears threatened to spill. I held them back.

What is wrong with me!

I quickly rubbed my eyes, trying to avoid the tears falling. Why was I so sensitive all of a sudden?

I had to move my mind from this. From him.

"Beta, Gamma, give me reports."

...

This is it for today guys.
