23. We should mate and mark her

Muriel shyly hid her face in Alexander's chest, he released a throaty chuckle as he kissed her hair. His mate is the shy type and he loves it.

He let her hide her face in his chest for some minutes, both of them relishing the close moment. Everything seems to stop existing whenever he has his mate in his arms, he will only think of her and he will feel calm and relaxed. He just loves this little thing in his arms.

After a while Muriel raised her head as her puppy sky-blue eyes stared at him. Those eyes are so enchanting and they are the most beautiful eyes Alexander had ever seen in his life. He could get trapped in those eyes… no, he's always trapped in them. Just like now, he wants to stare into those eyes even if it will take forever.

He smiled and subconsciously ran his fingers through her temple down to her cheeks, he trailed off to her neck and then his fingers touched the part where he was supposed to mark her. 

He gulped down staring at that pale slender neck which looks yummy especially that part where his mark was supposed to be stamped.

Suddenly his body started reacting differently and his eyes trying to change its colors. His throat became dry and a strong desire washed through his body.

His eyes fixed on that part of her neck and refused to move. Some unknown force was pushing his lips to move forward and bite those delicious necks. Actually is not an unknown force, is his wolf, his wolf is screaming in his head and scolding him of why he hasn't taken what belongs to him, why haven't he marked her and claim her as his forever.

Alexander knew something like this is bound to happen, that's why he has always avoided looking at that part of her neck where he was supposed to mark her.

He's sure of controlling himself but he can't say the same for his wolf. His wolf is overly obsessed with his mate that was why he shut and hid his wolf deep inside of him since he found his mate.

He can control his wolf and his wolf listens to him but whenever his mate is involved, the situation can never be the same.

He knew that his mate is still young and can't handle him and his wolf, unfortunately he and his wolf are rough and doesn't take the stuff easy so he has always tried to restrain himself. But for his wolf, that beast doesn't care… All he wants is to mate and mark her, not minding if she will be able to bear it or not. 

Because of this, Alexander hid his wolf deeper than before but that wolf of his who has suddenly turned stubborn because of their mate is trying to force himself out the moment their eyes saw that alluring part of Muriel's neck.

Alexander quickly withdrew his fingers and shut his eyes. Touching that part will make the matter worse because the spark he's feeling from touching that part will make his wolf more crazy and he will start fighting hard to escape from where he hid him.

As expected, his wolf groaned in frustration when he withdrew his fingers. 

'Black stay still, is not yet time,' Alexander scolded his wolf.

'Why should I? She's our mate, we should mate and mark her to claim her as ours forever,' his wolf retorted.

'I know we should do that but not now, she can't handle it'

'If not now, when will it be?'

'Just shut up Black and stay still. We will mate and mark her but not now and that's final'

'You forced me deep inside because of her. I know you care for her, I care for her too that's why I want us to claim her as ours, there's no time to waste'

'She's already ours, no one will take her from us, just chill and relax. You have turned stubborn Black. Now listen to me and relax'

Black tried to protest but Alexander forcefully threw him back from where he hid him. He knew that would hurt Black a little but that's the only option he has.

That wolf of his has become so stubborn and couldn't listen to him anymore. Alexander believes he's lucky to have the power to control his wolf— not every lycan and werewolf can control their wolf, especially when it concerns the matter about their mate. Only those with supreme alpha blood like his can control their wolf even if their mate is involved and there are only a few of them, most of which are his enemies. 

If he can't control his wolf, that beast will definitely hurt his mate. They always lose their sanity when it comes to their mate. First, they will want to mate and mark them not minding if it's going to hurt them and then they don't mind killing the whole world just to protect their mate.

Finally he was able to force Black where he should be, he did so by closing his red eyes and had conversations with him before forcing him back. 

When he opened his eyes, his mate was staring at him with those lovely eyes. He really can't blame Black, this mate of theirs is irresistible. She's not only driving Black insane, she's also driving him insane. 

Even though Muriel felt shiver when Alexander's fingers abruptly started running through her face, she felt more than shiver when his fingers touched a particular area on her neck. The feelings she got when he touched that area made her shudder and she could feel a spark erupting through her system. 

That feeling somehow made her inner self hot and she didn't know why but she thinks she loves the feelings she got from his fingers touching that part of her neck and she closed her eyes loving the feeling but before she would relish the feelings, he withdrew his fingers. 

She frowns a bit and opens her eyes just to see his eyes closed and he looks like someone who's fighting something within him.

After a while he flapped his eyes open and those dark green eyes stared into her sky blue-eyes. Those eyes are so beautiful that she could stare at them all day. Muriel also knew that this man lying beside her is extremely handsome.
