chapter 4
My name is Tatyana and I would like to tell you how I found my mate. First I want to give you some background on me. I am the child born to Anton and Anna Byelivolk. My family has been in this area since the late 1700's. We came to America to escape the persecution of our kind and have flourished here ever since. My parents are the alphas of our pack and have been since father took over for his father in 1922. You may be wondering how is it possible for my father to be that old. It is simple really, we are werewolves. I may look like I am in my 20s but I am actually 74. I look good for my age don't I. I am the smallest of the pack as I am only five foot four. But I am also the fastest and best fighter in the pack. I am not as strong compared to other wolves but I can move very fast. They can not win against me in any fights I have been in. No one messes with me because of it. I'm not just the alpha's daughter I am the most dangerous wolf in the pack.
I met my mate, he called himself Wasape, when I was out walking through the woods one day. I came to a clearing that I frequent when I caught a scent, his scent, the scent of my mate. I knew instantly. The smell was intense. It was that of cedar and violets. My wolf jumped for joy at the scent and I looked around but I did not see him near by. Then I saw him. He was very far away and hidden. But I could see him very well. He looked very rugged and handsome. His hair was strawberry blonde and he had a red beard. We made eye contact through his binoculars he was looking at me with. If he knew we were mates he didn't show it. I stayed there for a while and I decided to give him a little show to try and bring him out to me. But he never moved closer and never made an attempt to get me to come to him. So I walked back home.
We next met a few days later. My pack was out hunting when we came across him and a freshly killed elk. Father wanted to see if we could scare him away. I never told father that this was my mate because I was confused why he never came for me. We surrounded him and snarled and growled and did what we have done to scare others away.
He never flinched. Instead he stood up, bared his teeth and growled back. To say we were surprised was an understatement. so father decided to leave him be. Later admitted he felt a lot of respect for the man. I was proud that my mate stood up to the pack. I felt that he would be a good mate. Very protective of me, the pack and our pups. Also I now know where to find him better and after that I tracked him back to his home. Home was a spartan camp he had set up in a cave. While he was gone one day I decided to investigate him camp.
I stayed in wolf form the first few times I visited it had everything he needed to live and plenty of food stored up. Again I was proud of his ability to provide. On the last visit I went in human form I decided to rub against his belongings, thinking that my scent would entice him to find me. I was ready to leave when I smelt him. He came out of his hiding spot. I embraced him and took his scent in as deeply as I could. He buried his face in my hair and took a breath in as well. He finally realized we are mates I thought as he kissed me and caressed my breasts. Then he suddenly broke away. He was confused and said things that a mate wouldn't say. It then dawned on me. He is human he doesn't know about werewolves or mates. I ran as a fast as I could. I should have stayed but I was scared. I was returning to watch him. He was looked angry and tired. He had a large pile of split wood that I assumed he just split.
I was watching him and neither of us noticed the mountain lion creep into his camp. I started running as fast as I could but it was over faster than I could get there. I was startled by the gunshots. and then a few more rang out. I got to the edge of his camp when I saw the lion was dead. I was ecstatic about this. My mate defended and killed a lion on his own. Then I looked at him. He was hurt, very hurt. There was blood pouring out of his arm and shoulder. I was terrified now that I could lose him before we could even be together.
I walked over to him as he seemed to be passing out. As I walked over to him, transformed back into my human form, bandaged him up but could tell he was very weak. He had lost a lot of blood but seemed to be ok. I watched over him that night and could not figure out why he was healing so slowly. then it dawned on me, my mate was a human! How could he be a human? I have never heard of a female were finding a mate amongst humans before. There have been some males that find human females as mates but I have never heard of a female wolf and a human male. Over the next several days I watched over him. he slept a lot and did not do much of anything else. I began to worry, it was then I noticed that his wounds seem to be infected. I tried to help him as I could. His wounds were as clean as possible, and when the temperature began to fall we would sleep together to keep him warm.
After several days I feared that he may die as he was getting worse. So I made a choice that saved his life. I bit him. I knew that biting him would start the process to make him one of us but I also know that bites are not supposed to happen until the mating ritual is performed. The bite was made where all mates bite each other. He was marked as mine because I was positive he was my mate and wanted all to know that he was mine. I bit him and he began his transformation to a wolf.
The next day I was out in front of the cave thinking when he woke up. Shifting into my wolf form to keep him calm as I was not sure how a naked woman walking into his cave would affect him. I came into the cave and just sat across from him. Our mating bond was starting to form. His emotions were inside of my head. I was overjoyed that it was starting already but worried because I was not sure how it was working on his side. He was still human and so rarely do females find human mates so I was unsure how it would be. Males who had found human mates said that it took days and the females seem to fight the bond. But I could feel the confusion from my presence in his cave.
I could sense his hunger, then when he tried to move, he collapsed back to the ground almost immediately. He needed food if he was going to heal so I got him some. After he ate he talked to me and I answered by shaking my head yes and no. Then in the evening my father howled, calling to me, probably because of the fact that I was missing for several days and I only told them that I wanted some time to myself leaving out the part about my mate. Worried about leaving him but knowing father would come after me I returned home to my pack. I knew my mate was going to be fine, his healing was going well and he would either feel the urge to find me or I would come back for him.
Luck was on my side. I was talking with father and mother explaining everything when his presence was felt in my mind. He was close and the bond was growing stronger. I smiled warmly and my parents noticed it too. then a nervousness spiked through the link. Father then told us that a man was found on the edge of the clearing for our home and he had 3 of our men armed to bring him in. then I felt pain. Not a lot of pain but still it was enough to worry me. Father asked what was special about him. Knowing he was my mate but not wanting to spoil the surprise I told him that the man was my responsibility. Running to the door and finally getting to be close to him excited me. My wolf was so excited to be next to him and I could not stop talking about the house even though he was not paying attention till I brought him before father and mother. His nervousness returned and there was a silence as my parents stared at him and was just staring back. so the announcement was made.
chapter 5
FUCK!!! THE FUCK DID SHE JUST SAY? MATE!!! WHAT IS GOING ON? I believe my reaction was the comedic reaction of a crouch with my hands up, eyes wide and jaw dropped to the floor. ok, so she called me her mate. Whatever that means and her parents, I guess, look at me some more not saying anything.
“Tatyana are you sure this man is your mate? I don't think he knows about our ways or anything."
“Yes father I am sure. You yourself have told me many times that when I find my mate I will be sure of it. His scent excites not only me but my wolf as well. She was overjoyed when we first scented him. I know that he is human and I have never heard of a female finding a human mate, but, even now all I want is to be with him. To stand by his side and love him. To raise a family with him. to-"
“I understand my daughter. You may have found your mate but we need to be sure about a few things first. You look like you have seen better days boy."
"You are injured. Are they serious injuries? do you need help with your wounds?" her mother asked in a tone that only a mother could ask.
"No...I mean yes.... I mean..... yes, I am injured but no I don't need help with them they are healing quite well Ma'am."
"Nonsense let us see the wounds we might be able to help."
"Anna relax, we do not want to frighten or confuse him anymore than he already is. What is your name? How did you find yourself at our home?
"I call myself Wasape. and I am not sure how I got here exactly. Feeling pretty good despite my injuries so I decide to go out hiking. feeling this weird urge that was telling which way to go I followed it, wound up on your property and was trying to figure out what was going on when your men found me."
Her Father just looked at me and thoughtfully. he sniffed the air and looked puzzled for a split second then said, "So you call yourself bear? you don't smell like one of us but you're not fully human anymore either. what is the reason behind your name?"
what? smell like them but not human? the fuck is going on here? how did he know that my name was bear?
"My name is Comanche and I chose it from my ancestor's language. It is not my birth name but I don't use that anymore. how did you know that? what do you mean I'm not like you but I'm not human? what is going on? how am I her mate when we just met for the other day? All we did was kiss and I stopped before anything could happen. How am I her mate?"
"Please," her mother continued," my name is Anna and his is Artur, let us see your wounds."
You know what, fuck it all, this is not helping any, I took off my shirt and let them see the bandages that started at my forearm and ended at my neck. Anna winced slightly as I removed the bandages. The wounds were still open but had healed fairy well. Artur would not stop staring at my neck but that apparently had almost healed but left a very noticeable scar. He spoke in that language again. and Tatyana suddenly got nervous, I could feel it somehow. What is happening to me? I suddenly felt the urge to defend her, to fight him as they talked back and forth and he seemed to get angry and Tatyana was getting more nervous and scared. Suddenly there was growling, everything stopped. All eyes were on me when I realized that I was the source of the growling and I had taken a defensive stance between Tatyana and her father. The growling stopped and I was as shocked as everyone else.
"I I I I am really sorry sir, I have no idea what that was and why I did it. please forgive me." I spit out as fast as I could talk raising my hands in front me like I was trying to stop a bus.
"Why did you do that? Do you know what you did?" Anna questioned.
"I don't know, I felt shame and fear and nervousness. I know it wasn't mine that wasn't mine and...and this uncontrollable urge to protect her hit me. I wanted to fight you and have no clue why."
"He's feeling the bond so greatly and he hasn't transformed yet" Artur said calmly. that didn't make me feel and better though. what is this bond and transform? fuck me I'm lost.
Artur continued, "You bit him, with the mating mark, why? Any bite would have saved his life are you sure he is your mate? Have you mated yet? You know no mating is complete till both bite each other when transformed."
Tatyana said almost as quiet as a mouse, "I know he's my mate. I know it because of his scent it drives me and my wolf crazy. You said it yourself that when you first smell your mate you just know and it's hard to think about anything else. I was so scared that he would die, that I needed to save but I also felt I had to claim him to keep anyone else from stealing him from me. I am so sorry daddy! Please forgive me."
Now she was crying and the urge and the growl came back again. fuck me I did it again. how do I control this shit. I put my arms around her to try and calm her. I rubbed her back and kissed her forehead trying to calm her and make my voice seem smooth and gentle. then it hit me, something I haven't felt since the accident. The need to help her. To ease her pain. To care for her. To love her. Que the darkness.
