Am I not allowed to love you?

It was a dark and horrible night. The winds were too strong to fly anyone away. The thunderstorm was smacking in anger. No one could be seen but only a young Vaewolf running to save her life.

''Run as fast as you can but no one can save you from me, my love''. She saw those evil vampires following her.

The young Vaewolf was tired of running, as she knew now her legs won't help her further and there was even no sign that she would be saved, she fell on the ground. The vampires, who were chasing her came close to take her away again but then someone attacked those vampires.

''Archer, you finally came''.. Ash screamed in happiness yet she was too weak to even lift her body.

''Yes my love, how can I let those bastards touch you''. Archer and his companions killed those vampires who were following Ash in no time.

''I was too afraid that, I won't be able to see you again''. Ash hugged Archer tightly.

''You are mine, only mine, and I won't let anyone harm you''. Archer hugged her back tightly. But Ash screamed as she saw the silver blade passed through Archer's heart.

''Don't leave me! Please don't leave me. Archer, I can't live without you, open your eyes''.

She screamed and cried but Archer was gone. Blood was dripping down through his body. The moon turned red, every species on earth cried that horrible night.

***

At midnight in heavy rain, a car was moving towards an old hilly area in the outskirts of the capital. That place seemed to be empty but was well lighted and was in good condition. The car skidded to a halt in front of another black car parked in between the road.

A young woman in her late twenties got out. She looked in hurry and her eye's darted about as if she was searching for someone. She looked worried and anxious.

There were vampire-white mountains with a wave of white snow rumbling down the sides, sky-stabbing at the top with peaks like harpoon tips around her. They were shrouded in ghost-grey mist and the air was chilling and numbing due to the heavy cold rain.

She stood in the rain calling someone's names like crazy and ran here and there. Soon her anxious expression changed to relief as her eye's landed on a figure in the rain. It was the young werewolf standing with his back facing her.

He was wearing a white shirt and black pants; the sleeves folded up to his elbows while his hands were tucked in his pockets. The undone top buttons of his shirt showed his toned muscular chest apparent between the folds of white silk. He was drenched in rain and his body was clear appearing from his shirt. 

He appeared to be in his early twenties. His features are best described as sharp with his dark black eyes, pointed nose, strong jawline, thin yet attractive lips, and fair skin. His face shined every time the sudden increase in temperature and hence pressure caused by lightning produced the rapid expansion of air in the path of a lightning bolt. This expansion of air created a sonic shock wave, the thunderclap.

His frame conveyed strength. His black hairs were damp and messy because of the rain and hung down his eyes. His face was expressionless as he stared off into the dark. His eye's blinked but there were no emotions.

Completely soaked in the rain, the women approached him. When she was a few steps away, she called his name, ''Liang''. And waited for the response. 

He raised his eyebrow, otherwise, there was no expression as if he wasn't a living being.

Lack of recognition made her burst into anger but she controlled herself and said, ''Do you have an idea how worried you made everyone? They are all searching for you. Let's go back''.

''I don't want to''. These only words came out from that cold figure.

His lack of rectitude made her blood boil, ''Then do you want to stand here and freeze to death?'' She breathed heavily before railing upon him.

''Liang! I am here not to handle your stubbornness. I have a monstrous headache because of your childish behavior. I can't always let it pass. Answer my question so that I can explain it to others at home. Why did you reject to marry Ivy at the very last moment? Do you know how much you hurt her? Why did you give false hope to everyone and what about father? How can you make him lower his head in front of Mr. James?''

She yelled at him with all her might but there was still no reaction from him. He appeared calm and stared into the dark as if he was thinking something. When she finished there was only the sound of her heavy breathing and the air rustling the leaves of trees around them with lightning and thunder.

She doubtfully stood there, her breath became fast as time passed and she burst out again.

''Liang! Are you deaf? Can't you hear me? Answer me right now. Why are you like this? Why are you behaving so recklessly?''

Liang finally turned around and stepped a little closer to her as his dark expression softened. He slowly moved his hand to her face and touched it. ''I love you, Ash and I will marry you only''.

His voice was deep yet calm, the eye was swollen but still showed love and warmth for her. He looked at her as he lifted a heavy burden away from his chest and now he was relaxed.

Her eye was wide open as she stared at him in disbelief and shock. Her heart started beating fast when she realized his intentions towards her. She trembled and took some steps back from him. 

Slowly her eye's focused and her senses came back. She looked at him with bloodshot eyes and her temperature rose again, ''Have you gone insane? Are you crazy? Have you lost your mind-?''

She was about to complete her sentence when he stepped further towards her and held her waist tightly and dragged her towards him with force. He stared at her face for some time and then slowly started removing the hairs from her neck.

She understood what he was planning to do further and tried to push him away but he fiercely joined his lips with hers. She was shocked for a moment but then tried to push him away but her strength at that time was insignificant to his. The more she struggled, the more harshly he kissed her.

After a few more moments of intensity, he separated his lips from her mouth and slowly kissed her jawline. They were so close that they could feel each other's heartbeat.

He intensely stared into her eyes and asked, ''Am I not allowed to love you or marry you?'' And before she could answer him, he attacked her neck, kissing and biting it, searching for her sweet spot to sink his teeth in.

She was continually trying to push him, struggling to get out of his embrace but it was of no use. Her breath was getting too heavy and she was drenched badly in rain.

He stopped and looked into her eyes and expected to see love for him but all he could see were tears and anger.

She pushed him and shouted, ''What the hell are you- doing?'' She tried to run but he held her again, he gazed deeply into her eyes and said in his husky voice, ''I am marking my love, my mate''.

Before she could again react he kissed her with all his might, hungrily with the feelings that he had buried in his heart for a long time. The feeling that now exploded from the fireball.
