Chapter 6 - Mate bound

After finishing all the dishes, Kira came back to her senses and watched the mini rampage she just caused on the plates.

"Did I just do this? But then again, it was way too delicious to pass by. Was meat always this satisfying??" She thought then pushed the dishes aside and closed her eyes to get some sleep.

A few minutes later Silas entered the room and saw the mess Kira caused.

"Must've been really hungry or something's wrong, either ways staying home for a few days till she's back in shape won't hurt." He said then packed the dishes himself.

------------------------------------------

Kira woke up feeling refreshed and full of energy, walking over to the reception room downstairs then picked a bottle of water from the fridge which didn't seem to satisfy her the least bit.

She drank a few more then left the reception room for the shower.

'It's been a whole day since I've taken my bath, It's evening already. But where are the maids? And where's Draven and Silas?' Kira thought wondering why the villa looked silent.

'Its still evening, it's not yet dark but everyone in the villa vanished.' she thought while looking towards the clock then got a mild start.

'11:15pm??' she thought then checked the clock again, walking closer to pick it up if there was any sort of malfunctioning but it was working alright so she walked towards her room and picked up her phone to check the time.

'It's the same, but why does it seem like it's evening? I can clearly see everything around me it doesn't look like midnight at all.' she thought then walked over to the window of her room.

Looking outside she could see the horizon clearly like it was day and her eyesight we're even clearer than during the day.

"Something is wrong with me!"

She could feel her heart beating faster and faster when a howl suddenly cane from the forest ahead. 

"Is that.... A wolf's howl?" Something about it seemed to draw her closer to it, telling her to come over. "That's the same place I met them yesterday, I wanted to go over anyways it won't hurt" she said without believing an ounce of what she told herself.

The only thing on her mind was the wolf's howl and the next moment she jumped through the window and fell on the ground rolling over a few times before regaining her balance. 

"What just happened?? I survived that? And why did I even jump in the first place ---" Another howl suddenly came from the forest and she momentarily lost control of her body and began walking towards it.

'Kira What are you doing?!' it could be a wolf or another beast howling in the forest but she was actually walking towards it but somehow the howl seemed so familiar to her.

Walking closer with rapid heartbeats, she brushed apart the leaves in the forest to find a giant wolf standing on two legs standing in the clearing.

"Isn't that the same wolf I met yesterday? He survived and why is he still here?" She thought while looking at the huge wolf. She raised the phone in her hand and checked the time.

11:59pm

"It's almost midnight! I need to go back to the villa" she was about to turn back when the wolf suddenly raised it's snout and released a loud howl towards the moon.

Listening to the howl, her heart started beating faster and faster then she raised her head and looked towards the moon. The moon seemed particularly attractive at the moment and while she was lost in the beautiful scenery her body suddenly started aching all over and releasing cracking sounds like something was trying to break out or her bones were breaking. 

She let out a cry of pain and light streams of tears came rolling down her eyes then she passed out.

---------------------------------------------

Kira opened her eyes to see a few sparks of flying about in her vision and a blazing campfire in front of her.

At first she lay down peacefully basking in the warmth of the fire then she suddenly remembered what happened before she passed out and stood up in a hurry.

"I need to go back to the villa!" 

"Relax a bit more you're still healing" a voice came from across the campfire, he had long silver hair with a fair face and blazing red eyes that made her heart beat faster anytime she looked into it. 'What is with those eyes of his?' she thought to herself.

"Who are you?" She asked with a vigilant look on her face.

"Your mate" he said without a change of expression while Kira jumped with a start.

"Who are you calling your mate? I'm not an animal" she retorted with anger evident on her face.

"Oh you don't like the word mate, I'm your husband" he repeated.

"Who gave you my hand in marriage? Scum" 

"I gave you my mate bond already, like it or not you're bound to me now and if I die the same applies to you" he said without raising his head from the campfire.

"I don't understand a bit of what you're saying" Kira replied.

He sighed then raised his head and looked into her eyes making her heart beat faster as she stared into his red eyes.

'Kira what is wrong with you?!'

"Don't you remember me?" He asked.

"The kid who was kidnapped yesterday? Yes. Aside from that? No" she replied bluntly.

A smile appeared on his face and he stared at her "A kid huh, you don't seem older than me so does it mean you're also a kid?" He asked with an amused smile on his face.

"I'm not a kid."

He suddenly stood up and walked towards Kira while the latter tried shuffling away.

"Stay away, stay away I'm warning you! If my father learns of this you won't have a place on this Continent" she said with her face burning of shame because of her words.

He walked as over then knelt on one knee with a light bow "My name is Yuki Silverclaw, thanks for saving my life."
