Tattoo
“The transition must have started when you turned seven years old, that is the ideal age for you to start, for hundreds of years, I have never encountered someone who just went this transition,”
“What does this kind of transition do?” I’m a bit calm than earlier, my cravings were lessen and we are in the middle of a fucking forest, I can’t smell any human lurking around-I scoff, humans. Did I just accept the fact that I’m not a human anymore?
“During the transition, your primary ability will start to manifest, then your blood rank, and your tattoo,”
“For what?” I asked, while looking at the owl waiting for its prey one-hundred meters from where we are sitting.
“Your blood rank, this signifies what kind of wolf you are, most of the time, your ability will awoken based on the blood line that you have, but sometimes, there are handful of events that gods and goddesses choose one member of the family to bear their seal, it rarely happen but it does happen,” I nodded, “About the tattoo, it manifest when you met your mate, like the tattoo that appeared on your wrist, your mate and your tattoo will both appeared on the same part,”
“That’s why you said that you weren’t my mate, right?” He nodded and chuckled, “How about the vampires? Aren’t you a vampire too?”
“Yup, well,” he seemed hesitant to continue, “I was a product of forbidden love hundreds of years ago, my father is the former Alpha of one of the famous tribe in his time, and my mother; she is the heiress of her clan, they met in one of the school’s after party, they were both young and you know, wanted to explore in love, amidst of the heavy responsibilities and rules that their clans and tribe has set, that didn’t stop them to continue their love, and I am the result of that, the moment their families discovered that they produced a child, the war was set to happen, that’s when my mother disappeared, and she is nowhere to be found, the war did not happen, but after that day, the gap between two creatures widen,”
“Up until now? Your mother if still nowhere to be found? Even a little information about he whereabouts?”
He shrug, “No one will ever find her if she wants to, her ability is to hide anyone’s presence, including their scent, memories and moves, there is no exemption with her power, so up until now, no one could ever find her,”
“Your dad didn’t try? They are mates, right? They can feel each other’s feelings?”
“Like what I’ve mentioned, there is no exemption, even my dad, and my father didn’t try to, he knew my mother; so he is just waiting for her to come back,”
I became quiet after that, I suddenly felt this jealousy that Zach at least have his father with him, unlike me, I don’t have any idea that I am not who I think I am, up until today that I went through transition.
“Vera,” I looked up and met Zach’s eyes, “I know your parents have a valid reason for not staying by your side,”
I shrugged, “You wouldn’t know that,” I answered and play with my fingers, “Zach, is it hard?”
He looked at my with his forehead creasing, “What?”
“You know being one of a kind, being apart from your kinds?”
He didn’t answer at first, “Hmm, well, when I was a kid one of the elder’s son and daughter tried to bully me, but then they discovered that I am an Alpha in the making, they didn’t showed their face after, their parents even personally went to our town just to apologize for their offspring’s wrong doing, sometimes, having a powerful background can come at handy in times like that,”
I chuckled, I don’t know why I feel at ease, I think the fact that I knew someone out there knew what I am, and asure that I can freely express myself.
“Thank you Zach, I never expect that you have this kind of side, because you’re always frowning and act like a jerk inside the office, well; I experience it outside working hours,”
He chuckled, “Well, a human pose a threat on my identity, I won’t let you do that,”
“No one will fucking believe even if I said so, and worst they will sexualized what I have said, you know that people nowadays are obsessed and has a thing with your kind,”
“Well, why did you?”
I looked at him, he was already looking at me, there is something in his eyes that I can’t fathom, it was intense, with mix emotions, “I don’t know,” I muffled.
“Well,” I don’t know what urges me that I held both of his cheek and bring his lips into mine, it was a fiery kiss. I felt his hand crawling from my neck to my nape.
It lasted for seconds, until I can’t no longer breathe, he was looking at me, and I can’t do so, the embarrassment starts to eat my system.
“Fuck,” he muttered, so I looked at him. His face is shouting pain, I followed his eyes, he was looking at his glowing wrist, “Fucking hurts,” he muttered again.
My eyes grew widen, when a familiar tattoo appeared on it, it’s not because there is a tattoo that appeared, but because the tattoo,
—It was the same tattoo on my wrist!
