Part Three- Chapter 47

"Morning will come, it has no choice. Morning not only forgives, it forgets. Every morning a new sun greets us and our new life begins."

-Marty Rubin.

DARYA P.O.V

Standing at the top of the hill, I truly felt like I was at the top of the world. Green vines were covering my body as I stood, welcoming the early morning sun, with a genuine smile on my face.

A new day, a new beginning. I am going to start my life afresh from today.

There was nothing in the world that could worry me now. I had my mate's love, the one thing I considered impossible to attain. I had my family's support, like always. I had no need to worry about Konrad, he was dead.

I heaved a sigh because for the first time ever in life, I felt truly relaxed. My wolf was also relaxed and to prove the point, she lazily sprawled herself.

Chuckling, I turned my head to look at Quillon, who was sleeping peacefully at the foot of the hill. Biting my lower lip, I went down the hill again.

Yesterday evening's kiss had turned heated immediately and we completely forgot that we were outdoors. The nature, as usual, came to our rescue. A tent made of vines and flowers had been formed around us, to give us complete privacy. Thank-fully, none of the humans visited the hill either.

I pushed aside the strings of fresh, colorful flowers and entered the specially designed tent. Quillon was lying on his stomach, his spectacular back bare to me. My cheeks flamed and I made a mewling sound, when I saw the parallel scratch marks on his smooth back.

Quillon stirred in his sleep and a split second later, his eyes flew open. He turned his head to look at my spot and when he saw it empty, he raised his head and sat up.

"Hi" I said shyly while drooling inwardly at his messy look, which just made him sexier.

"What time is it?" Quillon asked and my smile got wiped from my face. I didn't have a watch but it was still dark outside... so my guess, around five in the morning.

"I don't know" I said instead because I wasn't sure. It was then I noticed the slighter things. I was shivering and had Goosebumps all over my body because it was very cold. However, Quillon seemed just about fine.

Come to think about it, I should have known Quillon's gift right from the start because he had been using them quite often in front of me. While eating dinner, he would constantly tell what was missing without before even taking a bite. That night, in the club on Quinn's birthday, he had sensed the girls drink was spiked because of his gift. How he was the first one to sense Konrad coming to Serene. The way he was able to pull out the internal organs of the rogues hired by Konrad. During our date, why he refused restaurants after restaurants... he could see their unhygienic kitchen. And... Oh God! I now know why he was smirking when I had asked him to close his eyes, while I shifted back to my human form, in front him. The sneaky bastard could actually see me naked with his eyes closed. There is no use worrying about it because he can see me naked even when I wear clothes. He could see everybody naked too then. Every girl...

It's his gift... don't think much about it, I convinced myself before my wolf could start growling. Besides, he blocks them out.

He had been using his gifts in day to day activities and I hadn't even figured it out yet.

So, nothing is hidden from Quillon. Damn!

His senses are stronger than the others... ten times stronger. Nice! Konrad couldn't hypnotize him. Nice! He could drive a person mad... not very nice! He... he is called an Apex Predator for a reason. Quinn had told me that and now, I badly wanted to know what the reason was.

Fortunately, I also knew the person who could tell me what the reason is.

"Darya" Quillon snapped and startled, I jumped.

"What?"

"Which world are you in?" he demanded and I shook my head. "Let's go home" Quillon said. Smiling, I nodded because his home felt like my home.

We were running in our wolf forms in the middle of the woods for more than an hour now. Yesterday, while fighting, we had gone from the one end of the territory to another end, without even realizing it. But now I was regretting it because I was feeling very tired.

I was fine while running with Quillon, until I spotted some female pups racing in the woods. I lowered my speed, until eventually I stopped and watched the girls. The girls halted in their tracks when they saw me. Our eyes met for a few seconds, before the girls ran away with apparent fear in their eyes.

That was the moment when I recalled everything that I had done to Serene.

I whined softly when I saw the girls running far away. They were trying to get away from me. They were scared of me. Why wouldn't they be? What I did to their pack was absolutely wrong!

Hesitating, I took a few steps back.

What the hell am I doing? How could I even think for a second that everything will be fine and dandy? Serene Pack wolves might never forgive me for what I did.

Quillon's tall midnight blue wolf stepped closer to me as I kept whining. He brushed his muzzle against my neck, gently. I shook my head and turned away. With his head, he urged me to go ahead.

I hung back but later grasped that I had to go to this way to reach his house. I had to face the Serene Wolves. That is the one and only option I have.

Whimpering, I followed Quillon as we ran towards his house.

I shifted back in his room and for some time just stared at the room. I missed this place so much. Smiling, I stepped into the shower.

After an hour long shower, I stepped out and picked a towel from the stand. Out of habit, I went and opened the closet. My eyes widened in surprise when I saw that all my things were in the same place as before.

"Oh! You sneaky liar" I said narrowing my eyes.

Shaking my head, I picked up a full sleeves peach dress and quickly wore it. I was trying to pull up the side zip when all of a sudden I felt myself being pushed against the full length mirror. Gasping, I looked at Quillon who, clad in jeans and plaid shirt, was standing comfortably near the closet door.

"How did you do that?" I asked in surprise. He was on the other side of the room.

"Like this" he said with a sly smirk and my mouth dropped open when I could actually feel his hands on my waist. I could feel him touching me even when his hands were not on my body.

I inhaled deeply and pressed my back against the mirror, when I felt his hands trailing upwards, closer to my breasts which were heaving in excitement. I looked at Quillon, whose eyes were greedily staring at my body and all of a sudden, I felt self-conscious.

"Quillon" I said breathlessly staring at his eyes, which were darkening while he watched me squirming. My wolf was feeling excited all of a sudden and I knew, lust was seeping out from me. "Stop" I whispered as he smirked lazily at me.

Suddenly, the warm, strong feeling of his hands over my body vanished and my wolf moaned in complaint, missing the touch. I looked at Quillon, while breathing heavily and nervously licking my lower lip.

What he just did was an experience like no other because I could actually feel Quillon touching me. He was... but not with his hands though!

In a swift movement, he stood right in front of me and my mouth parted in astonishment. With a groan, Quillon pulled me towards him, and almost at the same time, he wiped my lipstick with his thumb and brought his mouth down to meet mine.
