The Girl He Marked

Chapter 36

Book 1 Chapter 36

Because I just know, it’s like an innate feeling. I’m twenty-six, people find their mates from the age of

sixteen sometimes before that, so technically I’m ten years behind, that does a lot to us, I haven’t been

my self recently You see, if someone is without their mate for too long, it makes them crazy. I’ve been

going in sane the last few weeks. I’ve been okay in the daytime, but at night, my Beta has had to step

in as I’ve been unable to fulfill my Alpha duties because all I could think about was finding you, he

explains and I sit quiet in taking it all in and trying desperately to understand.

And then last night, it was like I could sense you; I ran out into the forest, and I caught your scent, I fol

lowed it straight to you and I couldn’t stop myself, I had to have you. Since having you near me, I’m

finally back to a normal body temperature, you must have felt how hot I was yesterday, I‘ve had a fever

every night for the past month, my body wasn’t functioning without you, his words cause my blush to

spread further, across my cheeks and down my neck. He is putting such importance on me; I don’t

know how to act under this kind of attention,

So you see, I am sorry that I introduced you to our world the way that I did, but I’m also insanely happy

that ive finally found you and you’re here with me, he says, at the moment I’m struggling to form any

words but l manage to nod at him.

Alena!

I jump in surprise as I hear my name being belted from the large manor house we are sat adjacent to,

Eli called it the pack hall. I turn towards the source, and I’m startled to see Myra running towards me,

close ly followed by Aria and Nate.

Give her back, you dick!’ Myra shouts and Eli growls next to me. Before I know it, I’m thrown over his

shoulder and experiencing a major case of déjà vu.

Eli takes off in a sprint in the opposite direction from Myra and my friends.

Are we really going to play chase?

Eli, put me down! They’re my friends! I shout, drumming my fists on his back, although I don’t really

know why I do it when I know it will be no use.

They’re trying to take you from me, his voice is gruff and aggressive, and I almost roll my eyes until I

realize he won’t see it.

They just want to know I’m safe, put me down! Please Eli, you’re overreacting, I tell him, but he ignores

me and carries on running. I look up to see my friends are still on our tail, only a couple hundred yards

be hind Even further behind them, are Eli’s parents.

A three-way chase? Now this is really getting out of hand.

Eli, please, put me down,’ I plead with him, trying to awkwardly grab hold of his free hand whilst I’m up

side down. He eventually slows and turns to face my friends, unfortunately his position means I greet

them with my ass, which is currently hanging over his shoulder. I try to turn around to see them but all I

manage is a brief glimpse.

Let her go Eli!’ Myra‘s voice sounds a lot closer now, and I’m confused as to how she knows his name,

Eli puts me down, and like yesterday, he takes the opportunity to slide me down the full length of his

sumptuous body. I try to keep my mind focused instead of thinking of his muscles.

I’m okay guys, I tell them as they all envelop me in a giant hug.

I am so relieved to see them. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“How dare you kidnap her! Touch her again and I’ll kill you, Nathan seethes as he steps forwards and I

feel flattered at his protectiveness.

I’m an Alpha, so don’t make threats at me pup, Eli snarls and steps forwards, standing a good few

inches taller than Nathan

“Hey, stop it, I say, stepping between them.

‘What the hell were you thinking?’ Nate asks and Eli sighs heavily.

I’m never going to hear the end of this, am I? I’m sorry alright, I couldn’t help myself, she’s my mate, Eli

explains, he reaches out and puts his arm around my waist, pulling me against him. Everyone looks at

me in shock and I feel relieved when Eli’s parents join the crowd and take some of the attention off of

me.

‘Shall we all go into the house and talk this out? We can have a few drinks after that mini-marathon,

Kate asks, and with surprising ease, everyone decides to follow her and Sam to the house.

The girls walk with me at the back and inform me of what’s happened since this morning when they re

alized I was gone. To add a further bombshell because my life hasn’t been turned upside down enough,

I am informed that Nathan, Aria and now Myra are all wolves as well. I can barely keep up with my own

thoughts as they whizz around my brain, trying to make sense of everything I’ve just learned.

I’m very grateful for the glass of water that is placed in front of me as we all sit down at the dining room

table. I drink the whole glass in a few gulps and then press my forehead against the table, this is all

way too much.

It appears that everyone has sort of forgiven Eli for the whole kidnapping thing, us being mates seems

to give him some kind of magical pardon. Well, I haven’t forgiven him. The only issue to sort out now is

whether or not I can leave.

I’ve been without her for ten years, I’m not going to separate from her again, Eli’s deep voice breaks

through my thoughts and I realize everyone is arguing around me.

‘You’ve got to give her time to adjust! She only just found out about you yesterday!’ Nathan pipes up.

Maybe you could come back with her, that way she can go home, and you can still be with her, Aria

suggests and I look at her like she’s crazy.

“You have got to be joking! What am I supposed to tell my parents? That I went on a camping trip and

came back with my soul mate? No way!’ | exclaim hysterically, never going to happen.

‘Stay with me, Aria chips in and everyone turns to look at her.

‘My house is half an hour away, your parents won’t question it, my mate Seb won’t mind, and Eli can be

with you, she explains, and I glare at her from across the table.

Why is she helping him?

“But Eli is an Alpha, what is his pack supposed to do?’ Myra asks and Sam, Eli’s dad leans over the ta

ble.

‘I can maintain his role whilst he is away and his Beta can help, it’s not a problem, Sam offers and I re

sist glaring at him as well.

‘And what are we supposed to do? Move into the same house and magically fall in love?’ I reply angrily.

annoyed that everyone is acting like it’s a done deal.
