I want you

MARIAH'S POV

Something was happening definitely in the pack house which I seemed to be the only one left off the scene. I usually had first hand information but as far as I could tell right now, everyone was keeping things to themselves. No one dares to speak. I had not seen much of the girl supposed to be Micah's mate since the day Zel had brought her in and told me who she was going to be in the aftermath. Well, I had no reservations against that as long as my own dear Farrell was not the one getting a woman as I am certain that he belongs to me. Just as Zel, he had also greater failure in seeing that which is destined to be his own. He only needed to spend time intimately with me and then he would understand the fact that I was the one he needed.

One might wonder why I had mentioned Zel in my description but them come to think about it, she was just like Farrell. I was sure he likes me but as a result of his biased morals and of course, my brother, he would rather not act on it. It was the same thing as Zel who keeps lying to herself. I was not one to be deceived. I could tell when there is real affection from when there's none. It had not started now but for a really long time, I knew Zel was in love with my brother. I had observed her so much to understand from the way she looks at him and how very protective she was about him. She was confusing her own love for royalty and I would not blame her. She was after all, the woman soldier herself and spent her time fighting. What then would she know about love and desire.

Tonight, I could not sleep either as thoughts of my dearest Farrel filled my soul. I could feel the tingling sensation all across my body as I thought about him. Something was not right with him and I could feel it. For days now, Farrell had been scarce and should anyone seem to get a glimpse of him, he would go further away. Something was eating him up and he was trying to sort it out by avoiding people. But I knew just what he needed. He needed me beside him as he probably had been having a hard time keeping his control now his friend had found his Luna. I needed to be with him and this night would be my only opportunity to get him alone. He certainly would not be wandering around in the night now, would he?

I swung myself off my bed and put on a white silk near see through dress. It was so long yet so revealing as I wore nothing inside of me. It was night already which means no one would see me or care about how I looked. I let my hair down as I applied my lip gloss before puckering my lips playfully into my mirror. Certain now that I looked good, I found my perfume for a final touch. Breathing in and out, I shook with excitement from anticipation.

"You just wait darling Farrell, I'll make certain you mark me tonight." I whispered to myself.

I started out of my bedroom, closing the door quietly behind me as I started making my way out of my bedroom and heading out. I needed to cross into the corridor leading to his bedroom and then be alone with him. I was about getting close when the voice startled me.

"Where are you going to, Mariah?" he demanded.

I turned around with a smile on my face as I turned to look at my uncle. Uncle Connor whom you all might know as Alpha Connor stood there looking at me as he held a glass in his had.

"You're still awake, uncle." I said to him.

"I guess I am. Had to come grab myself something to cool off. Where are you off to?" he demanded.

"No where really. I could not sleep. I'm just hoping a little walk around the night would do me good." I lied.

He squinted his eyes as he looked me over. I had learnt to control myself when lying so that they could not detect it easily. Seemingly satisfied with my heart's rhythm, he nodded.

"You should be careful. We might be nocturnal but that doesn't mean we're untouchable." he said and started walking away into his own corridor.

"Thanks, Uncle." I said after him as I stood there.

We did like the old creep and sincerely, even though he sometimes tends to give me extra allowances, I wanted him out of our hair. Possibly dead. I could not wait for Micah to announce his mate to the council so that things would return to normal as they should. I did not turn away immediately as I needed to be certain he was in his room. With the help of my wolf's senses, I listened carefully as he moved into his bedroom and then shut the door. It was safe now.

I started out again towards my dearest Farrell's bedroom. He should be inside and with each movement, I felt my heart's tempo increasing. I simply could not wait but then when I knocked at his door the first time and the second without an answer, I felt something was wrong. Carefully, I turned the handle of his door and it did open. I swallowed and entered. Farrell's room was empty. He was not even on his gaming chair and it looked like he was playing a game initially as it was paused on the screen.

Good grief, where was he at this time? I wondered. I gave it a couple of thoughts and then decided that I would wait. Certainly, he could not have gone far right? Hence, I loosened the strapping of my dress as I stripped naked. I claimed his bed, lying in wait and looking really sexy.

Then I heard the footsteps approaching. My heart increased it's tempo.
