Be My Woman

Her eyes widened when she saw his face getting closer. She wanted to push him away but her body didn't seem to move an inch.

When he pressed his lips to hers, everything stopped. She was supposed to run away from him, but instead, she slowly closed her eyes.

They shared just a quick yet sweet and gentle kiss. He wanted a taste of her to confirm something but he didn't want her to get scared of him. From her reaction, he knew he was her first kiss.

He moved slightly away from her. Looking at the girl's flushed face made him crave for her more. Her eyes were still closed, not moving from where she was standing. Then her body started trembling.

He frowned when he saw her shaking. When she opened her eyes, he was surprised to see that they were starting to be filled with tears. He suddenly panicked and didn't know what to do.

"Amaris, I-I"

She mustered her strength and with her hands, pushed him by his chest. Then she started walking away from him.

Zion sensed that she would run away. When she was about to leave, he caught her again by grabbing her hand, slamming her back against the sakura tree.

Tears were already falling from her eyes. She couldn't even explain the reason why she was acting like that. It was obvious that she didn't reject his kiss. She just stood there and did nothing.

"Look at me." He ordered in a gentle voice.

She didn't look. With her head down and eyes on the ground, she started sobbing.

"Look at me!" He almost yelled the second time.

She was startled from the tone of his voice so she tilted her head up and looked at him.

"You didn't reject the kiss so why are you crying?" He asked with a frown on his face.

He could see her lips curled and trembled as she tried to answer him while she was crying. He was staring at her face, memorizing the details of her beauty. She was mesmerizing even though she was crying. Her eyes were like the color of the sky and the vast ocean.

"It's my first kiss and you stole it from me." She answered.

She was actually right. He didn't ask her permission, he just pushed her in a corner and kissed her. He sighed deeply and stared into her eyes.

"I don't regret it so I won't apologize. Besides, that would not be the last." He said in a soft voice.

His gaze was making her body yearn for him. Him, looking at her like he was undressing her, felt like she was about to give in to him.

"W-What do you mean?" She asked.

"I don't want you to be my friend anymore. Be my woman, Amaris. I want you to be mine." He blatantly said.

She was surprised again by what he said. He didn't expect that she would be kissed and asked by a werewolf to be his woman on the first day they met.

"Are you making fun of me? You do realize that we just met right?" She frowned.

"I'm a werewolf. I do not believe in courting and stuff." He answered casually.

She took a deep breath and wiped the tears flowing in her face. She felt like she cried for nothing. She moved slightly away and turned to him.

"Look, I will just pretend that this has never happened. I don't care if you stole my first kiss, I can't do anything about it anymore so I won't bother thinking about it. Let's pretend we never met. I will ignore you and you do the same."

He frowned then tried to get close to her but she stepped back away from him. He raised his hands in surrender, signaling he won't move from where he was.

"Why? I'm serious." He said.

"Are you seriously asking me why? Have you gone crazy? We just met. We don't even know each other. You are a werewolf, I am a terran. Your kind believes in fate, mating and stuff. Our kind simply believes in love. You wanted me to be your woman like you were just asking to get something so easy. What about your mate? I don't have enough knowledge about you, but I know that your goddess gave each one of you a mate, someone that you would form an unbreakable bond with." She answered, pissed.

He sighed. "I am different. I am an alpha without a luna. A werewolf without a mate. The Moon Goddess didn't give me one. I am cursed to live alone for a thousand years."

She didn't respond for a moment. She wasn't really sure what to say to him. Hearing those words about him, made her realize the reason he looked so sad. But she would never agree to be his woman.

"I'm sorry. But I cannot be your woman." She said then turned around and walked away.

He didn't bother to follow her. Her reaction was normal from a terran's point of view. What made him think that she would be different from the other terrans?

He sat down under the sakura tree, leaned his back against its trunk then rested his head.

"How long have I been living alone like this? How many places have I been to? Just to search for someone that I don't even know if she existed. I lost count already. Oh goddess, am I really cursed?" He said, talking to himself.

The truth is he wasn't really sure if he felt a bond with Amaris. But she was different. He felt something towards her, he just couldn't explain what it was.

'Are you going to leave her alone like that?' It was his wolf.

Sighing, he looked at the flowers in front of him. It was beautiful and breathtaking like her, he thought.

'For the first time in a hundred years, I am not sure." He answered.

'I apologize for not being able to help. I think I am weaker than before so you need to bring her to the pack house. Why don't you try telling her the truth? Maybe she would be willing to help you.' He suggested.
