CHAPTER 8
VALERIA
I 'd been roaming through the mansion, my footsteps echoing in the marble-floored corridors wandering for over an hour, but there were still lots of areas I hadn't yet seen.
Kai went to his office and I had nothing to do except explore this enormous and magnificent mansion. I nearly ran into Eli as I turned the corner; he was coming out of a doorway, his face thoughtful. His eyes twinkled with mischief and he smiled when he saw me.
Eli smiled, "Exploring the mansion, I see?"
I nodded. "Yes, it's so big, I feel like I've barely scratched the surface."
"I am headed to a bar, would like to join?" Eli offered.
I shook my head, "I am not allowed to leave the mansion."
Eli laughed. "I'm staying right here. This is the way to the bar," he gestured to the east.
I frowned. "Of course, how could I forget Kai had a small bar in his office full of whiskey bottles."
I went to the bar with Eli and we sat down. He filled our drinks before I asked, "Are you also obsessed with whiskey like Kai?"
Eli shook his head, "In my case it's scotch."
I picked up my glass. “Shouldn’t you be with your wolf girl?”
Eli gulped the whole glass at once. “Her name is Anna.”
I sipped at mine. “Anna, nice name.”
Eli poured himself another glass. “Her brother Alex is with her. We are taking turns watching her and the babies.”
I looked at him, “Do you know there is a law in this world to not reveal yourself to humans?”
Eli gulped down another glass of scotch like it was orange juice. “When we fell into this world we didn’t know anything about it. We jumped as werewolves and when we landed here we were in our human form. We were shocked because there was no sign of anyone like us. But over time, we got to know about humans, shapeshifters, vampires, and warlocks. You know there are more species on Earth than Eldaria but we never encountered any dragons here on Earth.”
I was intrigued by the way he told his side of the story. Although Kai told me a lot of things about their jumping to this world, the incident, and Eldaria I was interested to know more about Eli and Anna.
“Can I ask you something?”
Eli nodded, “Sure.”
I cleared my throat. “What was Anna’s reaction when you told her your true identity?”
Eli put his glass back on the counter. “She laughed and didn’t believe me.”
“So how did you make her believe? Did you show her your enormous wolf size?”
Eli shook his head. "She had to believe me since, aside from shape-shifting, we Eldarians have several additional powers. And for your information, I showed her my wolf after I marked her as mine,” he winked.
I laughed, “You wanted to make sure she wouldn’t leave you after seeing your wolf first.”
Eli laughed. “No, I had no idea she would change with my mark.”
“Am I allowed to see your babies and meet Anna?”
“Sure. come with me.”
Eli led me to a different area of the mansion and we entered yet another massive building before heading down to the basement. When I saw the height and width, I was astounded.
A girl that had to be Anna was lying in bed holding a baby. Alex, I knew already because I had seen him driving Kai to the office. Alex was standing next to Anna holding another baby. Anna smiled when our eyes met and I walked up to her. “Hello, I am Valeria.”
Anna and I shook hands. “Eli told me about you. Come, sit.”
I smiled as I glanced over the two babies. I adore newborns, but I lack the bravery to hold them because they are so small and have no bones to support them. I asked Anna. “How are you and the babies?”
Anna smiled and looked at her baby. “We all are doing fine.”
“Have you guys named them?”
Anna shook her head and looked at Eli. “Have you thought of any names?”
Eli nodded, “I was thinking of naming them after your brother and mine Alexis and Kairos.”
Anna smiled and looked at Alex and a whisper escaped his lips. “What?”
Alex's eyes got moist but he refused to let the tears show. “You have no idea how honored and happy I would feel and I am sure Kai would feel the same.”
“I know what Kai would feel but what he is going to say I am going to tell you all in advance.”
We all looked at him. “Kai is going to say that now Uncle Kai and Kairos will make your life hell.”
We all laughed. I turned to Anna. “Is your wolf enormous also?”
Anna shook her head. “No, my wolf is bigger than the regular wolf of Earth but not as big as their wolves.”
I asked, “How did you feel when you changed from a normal human to a shapeshifter?”
Before Anna responded Eli asked, “Why are you so curious about all this?”
I looked at him and sighed. “Because I am thinking maybe I might feel some changes in me when I get the mark.”
Anna was shocked and asked, “What? Kai still hasn’t marked you?”
I shook my head. “That’s why I am asking tons of questions because I want to know the reason he hasn’t done this. I looked at Eli, “Did he like someone in Eldaria?”
Eli’s eyes got widened. “What? How could you even think that? You are his eternal soulmate; how could he have any bond with anyone else?”
“I am not asking about the fated mate bond. I asked if he liked someone else or not with her in this world or your Eldaria?”
Eli exhaled, “It’s nothing like that Valeria.”
Anna asked Alex to take the baby back from her and then she turned to me. “Listen, Valeria, I have known Kai for thirty years, and trust me the way Eli told me he felt for you I never saw him feel that way for any other girl.”
I looked at Eli, “He talked about me with you?”
Eli raised his hands in the air. “Yeah, a lot of times and I have seen how miserable he has been when he was trying to stay away from you. So please take those doubts out of your mind. Kai has no interest in someone else.”
“Kai’s interested in whom?” We were all taken aback when we heard his voice. He stood in the basement his hands tucked in his pockets.
Anna showed the courage to respond. “Valeria is concerned about whether or not she will face any changes after you mark her.”
Kai looked at me, “You are already a shapeshifter why would you face any changes?”
I shot up my shoulders. “I don’t know. I am a shapeshifter, but I am completely different from you both. I also don’t have other powers that you and Eli possess, so there is a possibility of me being changed.”
Kai held out his hand. “We’ll see what might happen, now let Anna and the babies rest.”
“It was really nice meeting you all.”
I smiled at Anna. “After you rest and when you’re fully recovered, we’ll have a girls' night.”
Anna got excited. "I am so happy you’re here now, I forgot that I was a girl dealing with three butt-headed guys for the past thirty years."
Kai held my hand all the way to his side of the mansion. When we entered his side he stopped walking and pushed me towards him. I slammed against his rock-hard body. “What the fuck is wrong with you?”
Kai clenched his jaw. “I should ask you the same thing what the fuck is wrong with you?”
I squinted. “What do you mean by that?”
Kai flared his nostrils. “I heard what you were talking about.”
A gasp escaped my lips and my eyes got big. I stammered. “Wha….. what exactly did you hear?”
Kai exhaled in anger. “You think I am interested in someone else.”
I kept my hands on my waist. “Then you must have heard why I am doubting this?”
Kai slammed me against a tree. “No, I haven’t heard that but I want to know what have I done that you don’t trust in our bond?”
“Because you haven’t marked me yet.”
There was a pin-drop silence and after waiting for a few minutes I asked Kai again. “Tell me damn it, why on earth haven’t you marked me?”
Kai didn’t answer and instead, he came close and leaned down. His lips claimed my mouth, I tried to push him away but my weak shoves meant nothing to him. He held both of my hands and put them above my head, shoving them against the tree. I had no other option but to surrender myself to his wild kisses. He didn’t plunge his tongue down my throat, but instead, he started kissing my forehead, cheeks, and chin. He scooped me up and walked past the guest bedroom where I had slept last night. When we reached another room he threw me over his shoulder and opened the double doors of the room with his other hand. It was his bedroom. It was black-themed all around the room. Kai shut the door behind us, walked over to his four-poster bed, and placed me on it.
Kai immediately stripped out of his clothes. His tanned skin and muscular figure drew attention to every curve of his absolutely toned physique. There was a surge of feelings that caused my heart to beat more quickly, and I felt a fluttering sensation in my chest. I couldn't take my eyes off of him because of how his muscles flexed and rippled. I got a thrill when I saw him because he looked so rugged and handsome. I felt an almost magical pull dragging me toward him. My skin tingled with a heady mix of excitement and nerves.
I sat up and grabbed him by the waist and pulled him close to me. His hard throbbing dick was right in front of my greedy mouth. I didn't want to waste another second and began exploring the length of his shaft with my tongue. I felt a delightful shiver down my spine.
I licked his shaft a few more times and he grunted. “Val, stop teasing me.” he heard my giggles and he kept his hand behind my head and shoved his dick inside my mouth until it touched the back of my throat. This ignited a wild passion within me, overwhelming my senses with intense fervor.
I started sucking and a loud curse escaped Kai’s lips. “Fuck” but he kept his hand behind my head to make sure I wouldn’t take his dick out of my mouth. I explored every inch of his dick and I kept my grip firm on his waist. Kai also started to rock his ass against my mouth. The way he was swaying I knew he had reached the point where there was no turning back. I started feeling suffocated and tears ran down my face but I knew he was close to having orgasm. I felt the intensity in his muscles and then he removed his hand from my head and tried to push me away.
“Val, I am so close, take it out.”
He tried once again and then he surrendered himself to me. I kept my grip tight on his ass and kept sucking and letting him shove himself into my mouth until he released all his built-up passion into my throat. I eagerly consumed every last bit, displaying an insatiable appetite. Afterward, I licked the tip of his dick and withdrew his dick from my mouth. I looked up while wiping my lips; he was looking at me with stars in his eyes.
Kai climbed on top of me and started removing my clothes after tossing them on the floor he parted my legs and bent his knees and swiped his wet dick against my raw slit. He crossed the threshold in one go and started riding inside my pussy. My pussy was clenching his hard length and I felt the warmth of his pressure on me. My skin tingled and the adrenaline rushing through my veins made me feel more alive than ever.
Kai raised his head and buried himself in my neck. I felt his canine teeth, but before I could think of anything he dug his sharp teeth into my skin and I felt myself on fire it was the fucking worst pain I have ever experienced, but it only lasted a few seconds. Later, I became so intoxicated that it was difficult for me to open my eyes. There was something in his mark I felt sloshed.
I started to feel a rumble of a storm building inside me. It was as if a hot stream was forming inside of me, and my breath became stuck in my throat. I felt my skin burning with euphoric pleasure until I screamed and released my hot desire. My scream was not so loud that I couldn’t hear Kai’s roar and then he collapsed on top of me. When he rolled off of me I felt a puddle beneath my ass but didn’t have the courage to get up and change the sheets.
I drifted off immediately when he withdrew himself and I awoke to my ringtone.
Luke’s voice came through. “Why the fuck I am the last person to know about your lame live-in reason?”
My eyes opened and I looked at the screen to see the time. “What? Where are you?”
Luke responded. “I am in Vienna right now.”
I sat up. “How are you butt munch?”
Luke laughed, “I am perfectly fine like always.”
I sighed, “Stop fucking lying to me I heard your disgusting throw-up while talking to Elliot and Emmett.”
Luke growled. “Stupid phone calls.”
I asked. “When are you and mom coming back?”
Luke was eating something crisp. “We are at the airport and mom just told me about Kai and you living together for a while. What is this shit?”
I exhaled, “It’s a long story I will tell you once you are here, but I wonder what the emergency is for Dad, Elliot, and Emmett to come back and Mom had to go to Vienna to collect you. Why couldn’t they stay for a few more days?”
“Didn’t they tell you?”
“Tell me what? And stop eating the damn chips while talking to me.”
Luke crushed the chips more to annoy me and I threatened to end the call. There was no extra noise for the rest of the call.
Luke cleared his throat, “The World Council resolution has passed.”
“About humans not being a witness to our community?”
“Yes, and now Dad wants to impose this resolution in the States as soon as he can.”
I asked. “I don’t understand why Dad was always scared of humans. I mean, humans are weak and fragile they don’t have the strength to fight us.”
Luke giggled. “That is the reason you should come to the community meetings.”
I asked. “Why do you say that?”
Luke kept giggling. “Because Dad is not frightened of humans, he is terrified of human nature. Dad is, in a nutshell, preventing our community from becoming a lab rat for all of mankind.”
I had no words left to carry on our conversation. I had never thought about it and now I was thinking about it the night when my wolf was suppressing me in front of that stranger in his hotel room and Kai barging in and preventing anything from happening. I told Luke that I gotta go and ended the call.
I looked outside and it was a day. I was confused because I never slept this long ever in my life. When Kai came back home it was around 7 p.m. and now it was 10 a.m. How could I sleep for 15 straight hours? I summoned strength in every cell of my body because I felt sore and my body felt like a ton of bricks. I couldn’t even sit properly due to Kai’s wild fuck.
I touched my mark and it was genuinely hot like an iron rod and it was burning. Kai entered the room and I told him it was hurting like hell. Kai touched my mark and then my forehead. “You have a fever.”
“Don’t move until I get back.” and then he disappeared.
I fell back on my pillow and covered myself with a sheet. I closed my eyes because they felt heavy and I have no idea when I passed out. It felt like a moment for me but when I opened my eyes Alex and Kai were standing and doing something with the bed on which I was lying.. I felt something on my forehead I reached for it with my other hand and it was a damp cloth.
Kai asked, “How are you feeling now?”
I felt like thorns were in my throat. “Can I have a glass of water?”
Kai looked at Alex and he nodded. “What happened to me?” I asked.
Kai sighed, “Eli told me this might be a reaction to my mark because you were already a werewolf and I marked you so your wolf blood is reacting to my wolf mark.”
“How long it will take?”
Kai shot up his shoulders. “According to Anna, it will take another 24 hours for the effects to wear off.”
Alex came in with a glass of water and Kai helped me to drink it. After I finished drinking I asked for more but Anna walked in and forbade me to drink a lot of water because I could throw up due to excessive water in my system.”
Eli accompanied Anna and he turned to Kai, “A super annoying wolf guy and an unrecognized woman were standing outside the mansion.”
I raised my hand. “It’s my mom and brother can you please let them see me?”
Eli looked at Alex and he walked out. A few minutes later Mom and Luke entered. Both were shocked to see me in bed and asked. “What happened?”
I told them. “Nothing to worry about, I’ll be fine tomorrow.”
I looked at Kai to introduce him but he was frozen in place. “What is wrong Kai?”
He didn’t answer. I looked at Mom and Luke to tell them that Kai was my boyfriend, but Mom had also frozen. Everyone in the basement was clueless as to why Kai and my mom had frozen at the sight of each other.
