A Mistake Mate novel Chapter 42

A searing hot pain rushed through my body for a few seconds before it was replaced with an indescribable pleasure that took my breath away. I vaguely felt Xander remove his teeth before gently licking over the fresh wound which caused me to moan.

He marked me. Xander marked me, forever declaring me as his mate.

*Paisleys POV*

My whole body was frozen. It was like I couldn't move, couldn't breath. The shock from what had just happened paralyzed my body, making it nearly impossible for me to do anything.

Xander had marked me, without my permission. He didn't even ask if I was alright with it, if I was ready to take our relationship to the next level. Hell I hadn't even decided if I had forgiven him yet.

My widened eyes lifted up to Xanders to see that he was already staring down at me, a look of worry on his face. My heart fluttered at the contact and I silently cursed myself, the bond was ten times stronger now.

You see when two mates find one another a bond is instantly formed between them but its not as strong as it could be, there are steps to completing the bond. First there's physical contact which is a very easy step, one that people do without even thinking about it, next is the marking. Some people choose to complete the marking when they complete the final step, the mating, but most choose to do it sooner.

A mating mark is a bite that a female wolf is given by her mate and it later heals to look like a cresent moon. The mark not only shows that the girl belongs to somebody but it also entertwines the two mates scents, making it obvious that they are indeed mates.

Now Im not saying that Im unhappy that Xander marked me because its in my nature to want to bare my mates mark but I am angry that he didn't even ask me if I was okay with it. The mark instantly strengthens our bond and I honestly dont know if Im ready for that.

I let out a shaky breath that got caught in my throat as soon as Xander raised his hand to my cheek, caressing it with his large thumb. The oh so familiar sparks instantly erupted from where our skin was touching but they weren't the same, they were much much stronger.

I gasped at the new sensation and my heart sped up when I saw the satisfied look on my mates face. Xander dropped his hand down and I suddenly felt cold but I still didn't say anything, I only stared into his eyes.

A smile then lit up Xanders face as he suddenly reached forward and brought my body to his, resting me in his lap.

"Good. I was afraid that you were mad." He spoke as he kissed the top of my head. A small laugh slipped out of my mouth before I looked up at my mate.

"Oh I was mad for minute but then I saw the adorable look on your face." I teased. Xander frowned and looked down at me.

"I am not adorable. I am hot and sexy, not adorable." He stated firmly. I laughed and shook my head.

"You most defiantly are adorable. There's no denying it babe." Came my words. A low growl came from Xanders mouth before his lips were suddenly on mine. I gasped and Xander took that chance to slip his tongue into my mouth, exploring freely. My hands made there way to his hair and got tangled there while Xander hands grabbed my waist, flipping me so that I was straddling him.
