What Bellamy had been through to make her dislike shifters the way she did had me very curious, especially since she was a shifter herself. Her wolf was a latent one, but she had a wolf, nevertheless. A wolf whose presence had grown stronger in the little time we’d been around Bellamy.
When we first came in contact with Bellamy, her scent was that of a human. I could smell her natural scent of vanilla and apples mixed. However, it didn’t have the same potency it would have if she was fully in touch with her wolf. Still, the more Bellamy reacted to us, the stronger her scent became. We were even able to get a small glimpse at her wolf’s eyes, as well as hear her wolf calling to my bear something fated mates were ableto do before they were mated. It was yet another sign her wolf was making her presence known. I wasn’t sure if her interactions with us were making her wolf want to show up more or what was going on. At some point, we were going to make it our mission to fully understand our mate, but right now, we had a more pressing matter: our mate thinking she could run from us.
Not only could we smell her scent lingering heavily in the air, but her arousal was thick and more potent. Why was she running when her pussy was begging for us? It sounded crazy to us. We wanted our mate’s first time to be something special. It was only right, but with the way Bellamy was handling things, it wasn’t looking like she was going to get that.
Everything could’ve been so easy if Bellamy would relax. She wasn’t the only one trying to make sense of this crazy shit going on around us. I thought my fated mate was dead. I watched her take her last breath. To find out I had another fated mate went against everything I knew about being a shifter. Of course, I could mate with another since my fated mate was dead, but having an actual second fated mate was unheard of. Just like Bellamy, I wanted to resist the pull I felt when I was around her until I knew what the fuck was going on. Why would I deny myself what I had been missing? I would’ve been the dumbest shifter on this planet if I did that. Bellamy’s soul called out to mine, and I refused to ignore it. Even if chasing after her sent me to the darkness of the afterlife, I was willing to go if it meant I could have her to myself. Losing my fated mate again wasn’t a path I was going back down willingly.
“Hey.”
I turned around and looked back at Creeland. Since I’d allowed my bear to take control, I was shifted. I couldn’t verbally respond, but I could listen.
“I know y’all bears be all territorial and shit over y’all’s mates, but you can tell Bellamy is new to all of this. Take it easy on her.You don’t want to scare her too much. Try to ease her into this. Spend time with her. Do all that romantic mushy shit females be liking.”
I nodded at Creeland, and then my bear leaped from the step we were perched on, following the scent of our mate. Bellamy hadn’t made it too far. Her scent, mixed with her arousal, hung heavily in the air.
Bellamy was heading east toward the Rosa River that flowed with clear water that had a pink tint to it. Despite the beautiful color, it wasn’t smart to drink from the river. The pink tint came from the pixie dust that was dumped into the river by the Pixie who lived at the beginning of the Rosa River. It was a protection measure the Pixie took to keep unwanted visitors from finding their home. Pixie dust was highly addictive and would consume the strongest shifter to the point that all they cared about was pixie dust. Hopefully, Bellamy was smart enough to ignore the allure of the Rosa River.
Weaving in and out of the heavily wooded forest, we ran at our fastest speed. As we ran up closer and closer on our mate’s scent, a pang shot through our heart.Something is wrong with Bellamy.Using one last burst of energy, we zipped through the forest like a flash of lighting. Relief washed over us as we laid eyes on Bellamy. She was sitting on the ground with her hand wrapped around her ankle. It looked like she’d tripped and fallen in her haste to get away from us. We slowed down, not wanting to scare Bellamy since her back was to us.
“I know you’re there, Kenzo. I can smell you.” Bellamy sounded annoyed as she looked back at us and rolled her eyes before giving us her back again. “This has got to be the craziest stuff in the world. I’m talking to a fucking bear like he can understand me.” The back of Bellamy’s head shook in disbelief.
I wanted to mindspeak with her, but she hadn’t opened her mind up for me to be able to. Until we completed our matingbond, we wouldn’t be able to mindspeak with Bellamy at will. Doing the next best thing, we shifted back into our human form. Standing to our full height, we walked over to the front of her. Bellamy’s eyes went wide as she took in our naked body. There was no shame for me. I knew Fate blessed us in all areas. They way Bellamy’s eyes locked in on our dick and her arousal started to fill the air again, she knew it too.
“We can understand you no matter what form we are in,” I told Bellamy as I squatted down to eye level with her.
“Why won’t you just let me be?” Bellamy sounded as if she was trying to convince herself that she wanted me to leave her alone, but her body was telling a different story. I doubted she noticed that she moved her free hand onto my body and she was slowly moving her body closer to mine.
“Because you're mine and you don’t want me to. We both not only want each other, but we need each other. Bellamy, I don’t know how or why, but you're my fated mate. I lost one mate. I refuse to lose another.”
“I’m sorry to hear that. I lost my fiancé. I und?—”
“Fuck him,” I grunted while staring Bellamy in her eyes. The thought of her loving anyone other than me had me seeing red. I wanted to find whoever she thought she loved and rip him to shreds. Bellamy belonged to us.
Fire danced in her eyes. She was going to defy me. Anger consumed me at the thought of her really loving someone other than us. “Don’t speak of Alonzo that way. I loved him,” Bellamy angrily replied, not backing down from my intense gaze.
My hand found its way to Bellamy’s cheeks and squeezed them, not too hard but hard enough for her to know I wasn’t playing with her. With her succulent lips poked out, I brought her face inches from mine. “We’re the only mutha fuckas you will ever love. We’re the only ones who are going to kiss you or touch you. Our dick will be the only one inside of you, stretchingyour little pussy out until it's molded perfectly to fit our dick, and every day, we’ll fill that pussy to the brim with the only nut you’ll ever feel ‘til your womb is carrying our seed.” I tightened my grip on her jaws, emphasizing my words. “Do you understand me?”
I could see the defiance dancing in Bellamy’s eyes. She wanted to tell me to fuck off. However, I could see what Bellamy was trying to hide. Her nipples poking through her shirt. The low moans leaving her lips that she was trying to pass off as gasping. How her hand was sensually rubbing my arm that was connected to the hand holding her face. But what really let me know Bellamy wanted us was the sweetness of her arousal that had taken over the air around us. Her arousal was stronger than ever. I could damn near taste her pussy because of how strong her scent was.
Bellamy bit her bottom lip with her green eyes half masked as she looked up at me. She looked so fucking beautiful right now. The only thing that would make Bellamy less irresistible was if she carried our scent and mark.
“I hear you, Kenzo,” Bellamy replied with lust and malice dancing in her tone. For whatever reason, her defiance made our dick twitch with desire. We wanted nothing more than to fuck every bit of defiance and resistance out of Bellamy.
I want her… Now.
Hearing my bear’s demands put me in a war with myself. My human wanted her just as much as my bear, but I knew we couldn’t just take her the way we wanted. Although Bellamy was a shifter, she wasn’t aware of that. She didn’t have any idea of the shifter way of life, and if we reacted in our primal nature, there was a good chance we’d make shit worse than it already was. We took a deep breath…
That was stupid.
We took a deep breath of air, and it was filled with Bellamy’s arousal, only intensifying our dilemma.Fuck.We felt our dickcoming to life and let go of Bellamy’s neck before we did something we would regret. I dropped my eyes to her ankle that was loosely laying in Bellamy’s grasp.
“Does it hurt?” I asked as I took her ankle into my hands and gently massaged it.
“Does that hurt?” Bellamy asked with her eyes glued to our hard dick she licked her lips like she wanted to taste it.
“A little,” I replied with a smirk.
“Fuck!” Bellamy spat whille grabbing her stomach, alarming me. I quickly cradled her body after pulling it into my lap.
