~Gaston~

Nothing about this evening is going as planned.

Not only am I scared to bits about the crude method of masking an unsealed mate-mark that Xyana wants me to use on her, but I'm super terrified of losing her to the process since her health isn't so strong at the moment.

If as an Alpha, I'm able to mark her and she marks me right back before midnight, it will not only seal our bond, but it will render any unsealed mark on her body void.

But if we're unable to mark each other, then her mark will become tender, red, hot, and painful.

Which will, in turn, keep her restless and in severe pain until she seals the mark by marking Dion in reciprocation. And in this case, no matter who marks her, Dion's mark will remain valid, and until she seals it, the pain won't stop.

I look around the room; Nat is present in case of emergency, elder Wilbrae is representing the elders of the Park, two high-ranked warriors of the Pack are present, representing the

    ~Xyana~I'm back at my former pack, doing the usual endless scrubbing of the Pack hall with Oksana walking about as often as possible, prying into the open door to make sure I'm not catching a bit of rest.I'm still wondering why I'm here and what I'm doing scrubbing floors again when I hear loud clicks of heels across the waxed floor. Since Alpha Kedar isn't such a tall man, I'm certain that whoever is approaching me isn't Oksana because she hardly wears heels unless it's an inch or two.Rumor has it that Kedar hates looking noticeably short when she stands close to him. I pause my work briefly and look up to find a very pretty woman approaching me. She has a beautiful smile and for the love of the moon Goddess, she looks too familiar."Xyana," she calls me and I flash a smile.I must have met the woman somewhere. Could she be one of my mother's clients back at the hospital when she's still alive?"Come," the woman stretches her hand to me. "We need to talk. It's quite urgent."Of

    ~Xyana~Gaston gets back later in the night. The instant he presses his lips against my cheeks, my eyes shut open. "Thought you must have slept." He says, standing in front of me, offering me a strip show.His shirt goes first, allowing me to get accustomed to his perfect-looking upper body. The toned biceps, the packs, the Adonis belt, and Goddess me, the man's body is perfection.His pants follow, and when he tugs at the band of his underwear, I am super tempted to pounce on him and have him fuck me senseless, even with my frail body. I bite down a moan that escapes my lips and Gaston laughs. He doesn't pull his underwear away. He just kisses my cheek and leaves for the bathroom.A quick shower later, he's back to our bed, and before I can ask him what happened out there with Dion, he scruffs his nose against my mark on me. "I'll have to tend to our mark most of tonight to help the other one fade out faster. The more time I spend tending t

    ~Xyana~We have dinner together after the marking ceremony. The discussion on the table ranges from news about the happenings in the Pack to the preparation of our upcoming marking ceremony and our almost completed gymnasium.There are several jokes made across and the highlight of my night is when I look at Clifton and Declan, they both seem happy.I have a little dance with the Alpha and finally, it's time for our little gathering to come to an end.Aside from Doctor Nat, who had gone up to Gaston's room to make sure the bed was set up in a way that I would be comfortable, Declan and Dion were the last to leave the room. They plant kisses on both sides of my cheeks, chuckling as they go. "Have fun." Bones whispers before shutting the door.I blush so hard at his comment and even some more when Clif winks at me.So this is it.It's done.I've been marked by not just any Alpha, but Gaston Howling. The Alpha I stole his kiss an

    ~Xyana~It took Declan and Clifton almost an hour to convince Gaston that he needed to listen to me and mark me before midnight.Doctor Nat was invited and asked to stand by, in case of necessity. He disconnected my IV fluid and placed a plaster on the needlepoint after removing the cannula he used. I asked to be allowed to see Dion but Gaston refused instantly. However, I persisted that I needed to speak to him. After much back and forth and support from Clif and Bones, he finally let me.But he did warn me about his cell coated with wolfsbane, and I should stay back because a contact with wolfsbane is only going to weaken me more.***A guard leads me to Dion's cell. Descending the cold steps slowly, I start regretting why I insisted on coming all by myself.Even with the numerous guards around, I still feel terribly alarmed and alone.Dion is sitting on a bench, leaning against a wall. He sees me, but my presence doesn't enact a single reaction from him. He just stares blankly at

    ~Xyana~I've heard so many descriptions of what having the mark of your destined mate would look and feel like. My best friend Jiya and I used to talk about it, and we listened to the mated servants amongst us discuss it, too.Mrs Sal said it was the most wonderful thing ever and the memory of when her late mate marked her is forever cherished and evergreen. She explained the happiness like it would be overflowing and you would feel fluffy butterflies. But then all of this would happen if both of you seal the bond together. He marks you, and you mark him too.I've looked forward to experiencing all of this with my fated mate. And even when I got rejected, I didn't let the thought of not experiencing any of it get to me.Then I realized that the moon goddess mated me to three siblings and I accepted it joyfully. Again, I started looking forward to when I'd be marked and claimed by my mates.Every part of me was prepared.But as Dion's fangs sank into my flesh, all I felt was pain, n
