ran and the boiling steam slipped through the open crack of the door along with his scent which seemed to drug me. I pushed away from the door and wordlessly vanished from the place I had settled parting Markus to his pacifying bath.
I decided to stride round the manor’s halls, to reason about what precisely I had permitted myself into and why exactly he was so tranquil with me. I observed Sam settled unaccompanied as he read a book and an apple placed in his other hand. I gradually moved towards him and located myself reverse to him.
His eyes glanced through his glasses at me before understanding why I was here. “How was it?”

“Dreadful, he won’t talk to me,” I wailed as I placed my head against the wall and closed my eyes for a transitory instant.
“Maybe he’s in shock,” Sam responded as he placed his book beside him and took an immense chunk out of his apple.
I shrugged as I curled up beside him and shut my eyes, visualizing Markus in reappearance of Sam who seemed to be comforting me now. “What do I do?” I speculated.
“Give him time,” Sam returned as he caressed my hair and patted my head hearteningly.
“What if time’s not sufficient?” I maintained as I bit my lip in frustration.
“Then you’ll have to just wait.”
I rotated away, irritated by Sam’s mature explanations and blocked out authenticity for a few minutes until I was interrupted by one of the maids. She nudged me on the shoulder, trying to regain memory of where I was until I comprehended where I was still wrapped up in Sam’s arms who had proceeded on to reading once more. “My lady, Markus has asked for you.”
My heart skipped a beat as the reminiscence of him twirled through my head. Was he finally talking to me once again? I conjectured in faith as I rose and began my voyage towards his room. Taking each step sluggishly as I became more anxious. Until I stood face to face alongside his door, knowing he was waiting on the other side brought shudders along my spine. “Elisa?” I heard the indistinct calling of my name as I spun around to meet Chelsea who seemed to be staring at me abnormally. “What are you doing?” She asked.

“I’m about to enter inside of his room,” I mumbled as I broke away from the entrance and somehow relieved that I was saved by her.
“Are you two okay now?” Chelsea doubted.
“He called for me so maybe things will sort out,” I responded trying to keep our voices trivial in case he might be eavesdropping in on our discussion.
“Good luck,” Chelsea whispered before separating and stalking off to find Sam. I turned back around, facing what I feared once again and leisurely turned to knob of the door and pushed it open.
Markus was on his bed, watching the window as birds soared past the hills and over the trees of where I knew he desired to be right now. He perceptibly hadn’t heard me enter and was probably waiting for my attendance as I took a step closer towards the bed. “Why did you come back?” Markus asked into the stillness of his own room.
I stumbled in shock as I apprehended he was talking to me and had noticeably heard. He turned his head towards me, his eyes gathered the light but the fire burned through his orbs. “I came back to see you,” I mumbled, feeling the compression.
“After all this while?” He spoke, his voice unexpectedly becoming livider with every word he spoke. “Do you now how much I’ve been through just to have you back?” His words hit me like a ton of bricks, my heart pulverized and I swiftly became exceedingly dizzy, what had I done?

“Markus I’m sorry,” I retorted, precipitously feeling desolation and unconditionally unpleasant for my iniquities. “Please absolve me.”
Markus didn’t seem to respond as he scrutinized me, watching intently as I tried to stay assertive. But every minute my mind would doubt itself, and words spun through my head. What if he never forgave me? I came closer to him, sitting at the edge of his bed, pleading that maybe he would comprehend how apologetic I candidly was.
Then my eyes converted to the red liquid that was leaching through his clothing, I gasped in dismay as he didn’t seem to move though it looked undeniably painful. “Markus you’re bleeding!” I shot up from the bed and tried to find something appropriate to wrap him in.
“So?”
“So, it’s serious you need medical help,” My eyes associated with an emergency box and I quickly unsealed it and found wipes and bandages stashed inside. I exhaled with relief as I clutched the objects and hassled towards him.
“Take off your shirt,” I quickly took out a few wipes and waited for Markus to submit.
“What?”
“Take off your shirt, you’re bleeding,” He didn’t have time to respond as I tour the material from his body and slapped the wipe against his bare skin. He growled in discomfort as the ingredient burned his cut, though he allowed me to ensue.
I unraveled the bandages and carefully pushed him forward, making sure not to open any of his scars again and slowly wrapped the material around his body, my eyes couldn’t seem to move from the toned muscles my hands were compelled against, rapidly making me wish that we were somehow not in such an uncooperative situation.
When the aiding was finally complete I took my hands away and settled him back down into his cocoon. “Thanks he muttered.

“Part of my occupation,” I smiled as I grabbed the last content and stuffed it back into the box before settling on the end of his bed again.
He nodded taking in the well wrapped bandage around his waist and looked up at me. “I’ll forgive you,” He suddenly spoke, shocking me by his words.
“What, really?”
“Only if,” I knew that there was evidently a catch to his condition and honestly I was quite troubled of what it may be.
“Only if you mate with me.” Chapter 6

“W-what?” I stammered as the serious look on Markus’s face seemed to alarm me the most than what I had just heard.
“You heard me loud and clear Elisa,” Markus countered, somehow authority moulded into his voice as it seemed to bounce around the walls and echo through my head.
I didn’t reply to his comeback and so Markus decided to rise from his bed gradually, the bandage around him still completely attached but my heart battled by the strength of him as he pushed me against the wall, once again feeling those tantalizing sparks that lead my emotions to a thrill of exhilaration.
Markus leaned closer towards me, his chest now against mine, barricading me yet I didn’t seem to want to object to this. His breathing marginally tickling against my ear but his words dazed me more. “Are you telling me that you can live without this?” He asked as his hand tenderly caressed the side of my waist, reheating my emotionless blood and instantaneously bringing my body back to existence. “The way I can make you feel content, the way I can love you like no other wolf has, you’re saying that a lonely wolf can live without her mate?” I was on the verge to object until he dragged away and stared down at me, his eyes occupied with desire and somehow enthralling.
“Fine then, goodnight,” Was his last words before he directed me out of the room, my own state still seemed to be in astonishment but the trepidation that eroded me seemed to bring my wolf howling for more of his effective touches, more of paradise that he had to present. What was going on? I had never experienced something quite like that before.

A few days after the occurrence, I never got to communicate to Markus since he had now entirely convalesced by the swiftness of his healing and was on a professional trip with two of his colleagues. Though after he had jostled me out of his room it had promptly shattered my heart, I no longer felt the need to hold back, yet for some bizarre intention I was fearful that I may seem too despairing.
So I decided to have a conversation with him when he was to arrive back from his voyage, a comprehensive and employed discussion on what the matter was that seemed to be holding both of us back.
I smiled to myself beneath the duvet of my bed, hiding so no one would be able to discover me, I needed to get away, course into my own mind and figure these unbearable questions out. But how was I suppose to?
I sighed in apprehension before spiraling over and hurling the covers off from my perspiring body in need of the fresh air that rapidly mimicked a ghost of the duvet I had previously been enfolded in.
That was until I could hear hushed declarations coming from downstairs and suddenly registering that Markus had lastly returned home once more. But somehow I was anxious to confront him, not knowing of what he might say.
But I had finally had had enough of all this and raged out the room, my footsteps restating against the halls as I charged my way down the steps and at long last came to assess Markus’s back, holding his coat in one hand while he grasped a wine glass in the other. I tapped him on the shoulder wrathfully as I waited for him to rotate around.
Only then did I panic of what I might say as his emerald orbs immediately encountered mine, prepared for a battle.
