THE GIRL HE MARKED Chapter 35

He ran out to the woods, chasing after Diana who was long gone to nowhere. He could perceive her scent so it was a lot easier for him to find her.

He got to a place where he could hear the growling of a wolf… Her wolf. He stopped, transforming back into a human.

He walked closer to the wolf, hearing his footsteps she turned to him angrily growling at him to move back.

But Derek came forward instead, slowly, slowly. He came to touch her. She kept moving back but he moved forward.

” It’s okay, I’m not gonna harm you. ” She grunted, moving back. ” Diana, it’s okay. It’s okay. “

She almost bit his hand as he tried touching her. He quickly took off his hand but didn’t move back.

He closed his eyes, opening it again. It had turned red and he growled at her, causing her to keep quiet.

She was only whimpering, then she started running away. He chased after her until he got to where she laid, shivering in her human form.

She was naked, but she squeezed her body from the cold. ” Diana… ” He got near to her, taking off his shirt and pulling her into it. ” It’s okay. “

She couldn’t look at him, her face buried to the ground. ” You came. ” She whispered.

” Yeah, I will never leave you. ” He took her up into his arms, heading to the castle.

” It hurts, my body hurts. ” She said in a shaky tone.

” I know, but it’s gonna get better soon. I promise. ” As soon as he had said those words, she fainted in his arms.

He dropped her on the bed, covering her body with the duvet. He placed a kiss on her forehead before leaving the room.

Heading back to the dim room, they stared at him without saying a word. ” She’s asleep. ” He told them.

” She’s gonna be fine, ” Micheal tried to assure him, but he shook his head.

” I don’t understand, ” Bella spoke, ” I thought you guys said she has a purple eyes. Well, why then did it turn red? ” She asked looking confused and desperately seeking for an answer.

” She’s not a Luna, Bella. ” Derek said as if it was so difficult for him to.

” What? I don’t understand. What then is she? “

” She’s… She’s a suprema. “

” Sorry I might seem disturbing but… what the heck is a suprema? “

” It’s more like a female lycanthrope, known to be stronger than a Luna. ” Greg explained. ” A suprema is said to be the deadliest wolf, they kill anyone who crosses their part. And there’s fifty percent chance of survival to anyone who looks at them. “

” Hold on, you mean that anyone who looks into Diana’s eyes will die? “

” Definitely. ” He said.

” No, we must do something. ” She said, shooking her head.

” Don’t you understand, Bella, Diana is a wolf and the genre is already in her veins. You can’t do anything about it, that’s what she is now. ” Derek said in pains.

” So, you’re gonna let everyone in this pack die, all because you think there’s no cure to Diana’s problem? ” She yelled angrily.

” Bella calm down, this shouldn’t cause a fight. ” Michael said trying to calm her down.

” Maybe someone has to make him think like a man. Why on earth will he try to look so reluctant over something so serious? Tell me, are you scared or something? “

Derek looked at her with an emotionless look but said nothing. ” Yes, you are. And that’s what keeps pulling you down because you think it’s your fault she’s a suprema!! “

” Bella, calm down okay? We need to take about this calmly and not yelling over it. ” Michael explained.

” Talk about this calmly? ” She scoffed, ” Does he look like he wanna talk about this either? She came closer him, ” You’re so weak, Derek, when will you start to be the man you once were? “

” I’m trying. ” He said almost like a whisper.

” Then keep trying harder! We don’t have to lose anyone in this pack, not Diana not anyone. ” She looked at Greg, ” What do you know about this… Suprema? ” She asked.

” I think Diana being a lycanthrope is because of she was bitten by two wolves… two alpha wolves plus the being in her. I’m not too sure but, I think she shares the saliva of both Reyhon and Derek but, her obeying to Derek’s rowl means that his saliva is dominant over Reyhon’s. So, I’d say, there’s nothing much to bother about. She’s part of the pack which means there’s chances for us to help her. “

Bella heaved a heavy sigh, returning her gaze back to Derek who looked taken away. ” You need to rest, ” she said to him, ” we’ll meet at your office tomorrow morning. “

He looked at her, ” You two know what to do, I’ll escort him to his room. Good night. “

They got to his room, and she sat beside him on his bed. ” You’re scared, aren’t you? ” She asked, rubbing his hair.

” I don’t know why. She’s my responsibility, but I wasn’t there when she needed me the most. What kind of mate am I, I’m so weak to be there for the ones I love. I should be there for her. “

” You’re always there for her, and I know she knows that too. You have to stop blaming yourself, Derek, it’s time you face the future. It’s time you face her. ” She kissed his cheek, waving a smile at him. ” Good night, Derek. “

She stood up to leave but he held her hand, ” Stay with me tonight… Please. “

She nodded her head, walking to the other side of the bed. She shifted the blanket aside, laying beside him.

She turned his body, that they were facing each other. ” I remember when I always sleep with you just like this when we were little, ” she chuckled, ” you would always come to me when you are scared. With your tiny voice you will hold me and say; Bella, I’m scared. Don’t leave me tonight, I’m so scared of the dark. ” She said, mimicking him.

” Then I’ll hold you close to me and say; What of your mother? And you will say; I can’t find her. Is she dead? ” She looked at his beautiful face, ” You were just little then, but you still remind of of those days. You’ve never changed, Derek, you still remind of that little boy who always come to my room. “

She brushed his hair, the soft movements of her fingers in his hair caused him to sleep. ” Good night, Derek. ” She kissed his forehead.

Smiling softly at him, she forced herself to sleep.

The morning sun has risen from it’s chamber, shinning all over the world and filling the morning with it’s brightness.

Bella woke up earlier before Derek, preparing his shower for him. She returned back to the room only to find him still asleep.

She tapped him gently, ” Derek, it’s morning already. ” she called.

He slowly open his eyes, staring around the room. He looked by the side of the bed and when he saw it empty, he yanked up.

” Bella! “

” Hey, sh-shh, I’m here. ” He calmed down, letting her hug him. ” I’m here. Come, you need a shower. “

After he had finished taken his bath, he left the bathroom with a towel tied around his waist. Bella had dropped his clothes on his bed, ” This is the best I could find. “

” I’ve got nice clothes in there. ” Pointing at his wardrobe.

” Yeah. I mean, this is my favorite. “

He took the pair of trouser and shirt pulling himself into it. Bella helped him comb his hair and applied a little make up on his face.

” Bella, I’m not a girl for christ sake. ” He rolled his eyes.

” You don’t have to be a girl before I know I have to take good care of my little brother. ” She kissed his cheek. ” Now, you look just more than handsome. No wonder why Diana can’t resist you. ” They both chuckled.

” AAAAAAHHHHHHH !!!!! “

They stared at each other, ” Diana! “
