31 Not just a bite mark

Zion sighed deeply while looking at his mate sleeping quietly on the bed. There are a lot of things about her that fascinates him. Like how his wolf's senses came back right after he marked her, how she could suddenly awaken her demon side and mark him.

He stood up and decided to have a drink. He wouldn't be able to sleep anyway so he went to the bar at the castle.

The wine cellar was located in the basement. With brick walls surrounding it and wine cabinets that have around five hundred bottles. Most of them were over a hundred years old.

There was a stunning set of furniture with Mediterranean flair consisting of a mid-low center table with a glass top and wooden frames. There were four sophisticated armchairs around it that feature graceful curves and ornate decorative details.

There was a stunning modern chandelier at the center  featuring an old-world design of 6 lights with metal construction. The wheelbase highlighted with brass nailheads was coated in an antique black finish with clear glass shades. It was suspended from 3 twisted rods with a 39-inch ceiling chain.

Zion took a bottle of 1947 Cheval Blanc St-Emilion, one of the most expensive wines in the world. He sat down on one of the chairs, opened the bottle and poured the liquid in the wine glass.

He sighed again before taking a sip. He was thinking of Amaris. He couldn't understand why the Gods put on such length to erase her memories. Is she really someone that would destroy both worlds? Maybe the prophecy was misunderstood, there was something missing in the Book of Malum so it's possible that they were wrong. He thought.

"So you marked her." It was Zoila's voice.

Even if he won't tell them, every member of the pack could feel it. Once an Alpha marked his Luna, the pack would feel a stronger power inside them. In Amaris' case, he could feel that it was more powerful than they expected.

Her sister sat on the chair across him while Cole and Xavier followed, occupying the vacant seats.

"Yes. I didn't plan it. I wanted to mark her once she got her memories but it seemed she was already in heat. It was sudden, I don't understand it." He sighed.

Cole frowned when he noticed something on Zion's neck. He stood up to check what it was.

"What's that?" Cole asked, pointing in his neck.

Zoila's eyes widened while Cole and Xavier's faces were shocked. Zion frowned and touched the mark Amaris' put on him.

"Ari marked me." He casually answered.

"Look in the mirror!" Zoila exclaimed while handing him a mirror.

Zion took it and with a frown face, looked at himself in the mirror. He was also surprised when he saw it. It wasn't just a simple bite. There was a symbol formed from where she bit him. It was a crescent moon with a red pointed sword and on the handle was a red rose wrapped around in thorns.

"Oh my! That's the first time in the history of the werewolves. I don't think she was just a child of some God and Demon. I think her parents were powerful beings and that may be the reason they were afraid of her." Cole commented.

They went quiet for a moment. Cole has a point. The Gods were powerful beings, especially the ancient ones. But if two produced offspring, it could have stronger powers than the parents.

"Did you feel the sudden increase in power and strength of the pack?" Zion asked, looking at the three.

"Yes. Didn't you hear the howling of the werewolves when you marked her? We were celebrating. Those who hadn't shifted for decades suddenly shifted. It was a miracle." Xavier answered while Zoila and Cole nodded in agreement.

Zion felt relieved and his heart felt so light from hearing those words. His pack suffered for a hundred years because of him and he felt guilty from being a weak Alpha. 

The reason they were able to maintain the strength of the pack was because he was an immortal. His wolf lost his senses, he couldn't shift, his powers were sealed, but he couldn't die. His healing ability was different from other werewolves. He could heal faster than anyone and he was also immune with wolfsbane.

"Do you think you could get an answer from the demon princess?" Zoila asked.

"I'm not sure. But she's not just a princess, so I think she knew something." He answered.

'Love?' He heard Amaris' voice.

The three frowned when they also heard her voice.

"She could do that now? I think our Luna was really amazing." Cole excitedly said when Amaris used the mind link to talk to Zion.

"W-Wait, she didn't forget you?" Zoila asked, confused.

'I watched the video.' Amaris answered Zoila.

Zoila looked at her brother, curious by what Amaris said. She grinned, teasing him with a mischievous smile.

'I'll be there. Wait for me.' He answered, ignoring Zoila.

He stood up and rushed back to his bedroom, leaving the three with smiles on their faces.

Amaris face was so red after watching the video. Zion was able to record everything. She saw herself entering the bathroom and then pleasuring him with his mouth. She watched him marking her and she saw herself marking him.

She touched her teeth to check on her fangs but they weren't there anymore. It was a confirmation that she wasn't really a Terran. She saw her eyes change to red and fangs grew from her mouth.

She stood up and walked towards the full sized mirror. She was naked so she could see the mark on her neck. She frowned when she saw a symbol or more like a tattoo and not just a bite mark.

It was a blue moon with a howling wolf and another two symbols on the wolf's sides in color blue and red.

"That's my mark. And here's yours."

It was Zion, pointing to the symbol on his neck.
