Sinful Love

CHAPTER 6

“Grandpa, why would you ask such a question?” Zaden asked his grandpa

“She has the marking, see” he pointed at Selena’s moon tattoo on her neck, earning a laughter from all of them except for Selena, who put on a serious face

“Grandpa, anyone with money and guts can get a moon tattoo” Zaden sarcastically answered his grandpa

“Son, I might be old, but I’m not stupid. True, anyone with money and guts can get a moon tattoo even in their butt but this is not a tattoo” he turned to face Selena “Is it, child?” everyone’s eye is now focused on Selena. She dropped her head and answered slowly, almost inaudible to the other people

“No…” Zaden looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

“Mind to explain, baby girl?” Finally, Zaden spoke

“It is a birth mark. My grandma told me they started as a dot and developed over the years. We had been to the doctors, but he couldn’t put his finger on it. We finally settled for a simple birthmark, you know, just like strawberry birthmark only mine didn’t fade away and about a few years ago, it stopped developing more” she shrugs her shoulder. Grandpa Kai crossed his arms over his chest and gave a smug smile to Zaden, who is now eyes wide and jaw dropped.

“I can read aura, Selena. Some people omit aura from their body or heart, some from their head but yours concentrated on your neck or to be exact your marking, connecting both body and mind. Meaning, you are not only a Samrat, but you must have had some sort of ability to control other body and mind” Grandpa Kai explained with a cool expression and hands inside his pocket.

“What is a Samrat?” Selena exclaimed in frustration. Zaden stretched his hands and held her hands and guide her into the house. For the first time, she is brought to the seconds floor

“We need some privacy” as he motions everyone to leave except for Grandpa Kai. They walked to a room at the end of the corridor, entering a spacious room, complete with bathroom, a mini fridge with a bar counter. Sofas with round table scatters here and there, high bar stool arranged along the bar counter. There was also a wall with bookshelf, filled with books from different topics. It looks more like a communal room. Zaden walked Selena to a single, green velvet sofa at a corner, without letting go of her hand. Once she is seated, Grandpa Kai and Zaden looked at each other worriedly before Zaden excused themselves and went a bit further, discussing something seriously. They returned back to Selena, Grandpa Kai pushed Zaden to the front. He exhaled sharp looking at the floor and took off his jacket, folded his sleeve up to his elbow. He then looked straight into Selena’s eye and sighed softly as he crouched down in the most stylish way in front of Selena, held her hand that is on her lap now, making her feel like a child. Grandpa Kai was standing right behind him

“See, Samrat is an ancient bloodline of kings with special ability” he stopped making Grandpa Kai clear his throat as a warning to never back off.

“Kings of….wolfs…werewolves precisely” he said with much hesitation and doubts. Selena inhaled sharply before tilting her head slightly to the side. She narrowed her eye “What was that again?”

“Bloodline, I mean Samrat is the surname of a werewolf king’s bloodline” Zaden patiently explain again to her

“Zaden… I think I was hallucinating a few second ago. Did you say werewolf?” Grandpa Kai and Zaden nodded frantically

“Werewolf as in half human and half wolf” they nodded again.

“Did you say he was a king?” again, they nodded the same way

“He had special abilities?” they nodded again

“And I am a descendent of that bloodline?” they nodded again

“Are you trying to say that I am a werewolf?” her eyes are now glaring at those two and they nodded slowly then before with pursed lip. Selena spring to standing position, so did Zaden

“Are you crazy? Did you do drugs or something” she stepped slowly towards him as he paced backwards

“Do I look like a wolf to you? Or do you think I wouldn’t have noticed if my parents were wolfs?” Selena asked in a low voice while Zaden still pacing backward

“I got news for you chief, I don’t believe in god, I don’t believe in sorcery and I certainly don’t believe in supernatural creatures, understand?” she pointed her index finger at his face with anger. Instead of scaring away, he let out a low chuckle and pecked a kiss on her finger, stunned by how much this little creature can scare an alpha.

“That is nonsense” Grandpa Kai said from behind her, referring to her whole belief system

“OK, fine” she threw her hand into the air novelbin

“Prove it to me. Not behind cloth or from a hidden closet but right in front of me, while I’m watching. Prove it to me!!!” Grandpa Kai and Zaden exchanged look before he shrugged

“Wait here” he ordered seriously and walked out of room with Grandpa. He leaned over the second floor handrail before shouted

“Makeala, I need you here” Makeala rushed to second floor as Zaden opened the communal room door, guiding her inside but before she passed the door, Zaden whispered to her

“She wants proof of werewolves” only to receive a wide eye from her. After closing the door, they waited outside the door.

Inside, Makeala approached with hesitation at the now irritated Selena, crossed arm over chest.

“You wanted proof of werewolf?” she asked as Selena nodded

“What kind of proof?” she asked

“I don’t know, maybe bring a werewolf in front of me” those words were dripping with sarcasm. Makeala sighed out and went to a corner. She started stripping down naked, making Selena to turn away in embarrassment. Then she heard finger snapping at her. A thug look in her eye as Makeala said

“You want proof, then look here” the next second, slowly her fingernails extended out of her fingers, forming claw. Her teeth extend to fangs and a coat of shiny burgundy fur replaced her once shiny caramel skin. Selena breathing started to accelerate as she moved around towards the door, safety precaution. Bones started snapping as she decent to crawling position. Her nose extends to a snout. A few seconds later she became a complete wolf, bigger than any regular wolf, shook her body and gave out a howl. Selena screamed at the top of her voice, but her friends couldn’t hear her when she is in the room. The wolf looked straight at her with a panting breath, eye as dark as night. Selena ran as fast as she could out of the room, opened the door to slam against Zaden’s hard chest, falling straight into his arms. He immediately hugged her, worried eyes focused on hers.

“Makeala!!!Makeala, she…Makeala she…strip off” Selena started stuttering frantically, panicked at Zaden’s arm. She turned around to face Grandpa Kai., but Zaden didn’t let go of her, his hands are around her stomach now as he rubbed her arms, trying to calm her down

“Her nails!!! no, no, claws. Bloody claws….” She looked at her own nails before turning back to Zaden with wide eye.

“And teeth…fangs…fucking fangs” she turned back at Grandpa Kai

“And her skin…not skin anymore…it’s fur. Do you understand what I’m saying” Grandpa Kai just nodded calmly. The communal room door opened as Makeala walked out in human form, dressed in a hurry that she didn’t do top button and hair as messy as a bird’s nest. When Selena saw her, she wrung her hand and turn around in a snap, burying her face in Zaden’s chest while grab holding his shirt in a fist, breathing heavily. Zaden looked at the other two hopelessly as his arms still embracing her.

“Take your time” Grandpa Kai said as he gestured Makeala to follow him. When they went out of side, Zaden pulled her tighter to him while rubbing her neck gently

“Shuu…calm down, calm down, baby…” he whispered to her ears. She snapped her head up, face filled with panic.

“You don’t understand. You have a werewolf in your house. She. She.” Zaden leaned and softly placed his lips against hers. A quick but stern kiss, calming her down at the spark surging through her body. She closed her eye and remained closed for a while even after he let go, like she was hypnotized

“Calm down, ok… Just listen to me” he caressed her cheeks with his thumbs.

“I know she is a werewolf. I am a werewolf” her eyes snapped open

“Grandpa Kai is a werewolf. Orion, Sitka, Xavier and the whole village is werewolves” she paced away with a wide eye.

“And you, you are a werewolf of Samrat” he said in low voice filled with care and love to her

“Stay away from me” she warned him as she ran away, down the stairs to her friends. Zaden followed behind her, calling her name again and again but she ignored him

“We need to get out of here” she said to her friends as she walked away from them, to the room given to her and started packing her stuffs. Orion entered the room, but Selena ignored as she continued packing, her hands trembling

“Selena…” she kept packing

“Selena…:” this was Zaden. Soon, she was joined by her friends

“Selena, what’s wrong” Jeffry pulled her by her arms, facing him

“We need to get.out.of.here, do you understand?” she separated the words and looked at them sternly, making her point across loud and clear. Jewel gave in and started to pack her things as well. The guys shrugged and tried to retreat from the room to their room when Xavier blocked them.

“Lock her up” Zaden ordered Orion in low voice while he leaned against the door, hands in his pocket. Orion nodded and walked over to Selena, grabbed her hand to make her turn. He then bent down to clutch her knees as he plopped the 5.2 feet small frame girl over his shoulder and walked away to a room in second floor. Her friends protested heavily while she punched and kicked him, to no avail. Once in the room, he gently placed her down

“I don’t want you to leave either, more then Chief probably” he frowned with a sad face and walked out of the room, locking the door behind him. She ran behind him and slammed her fist against the door, again and again to no avail. After a few attempts, she gave up and slide down the door in frustration.
