Damon's POV;

I feel the stiffness of her back when my hand was squeezed around her waist -my lips burning against her while my fingers tangled up in her wet locks. Her simple strawberry chap stick driving me towards the edge, wanting more as the seconds grew on.

Her enchanting scent was giving me the urge to mark her on the spot, and so was my wolf but a chorus of deep growls interrupts front behind me. My grasp on her hair lessens as I feel her body fall limp in my arms but I hold on to her waist to steady her as her head slums against my shoulder.

Her dripping wet hair made my jacket's area wet as her scent coiled it's way up to nose. Her face was stunning and simply breath taking, even after considering how purely simple her face was; easily adding into the list of why I should mark her.

I stare off at her examining her features further. Her small plum lips coated with gentle chap stick, wide brown eyes with natural long black lashes, her light sun-kissed tan, and her soft long bangs framing her face.

Another chorus of growls grabs my attention away from my Mate's, making me growl back louder as a response.

"Get YOUR DIRTY ASS HANDS OFF OUR SISTER'S WAIST, YOU BASTARD!" Alpha Xavier shrieks, with his hands clutched by his side.

"And why in fucking hell would I do that?" I say in a calmer tone than I should because the scent of my Mate was suddenly becoming overwhelming and screwing with my senses and plus, I didn't want to wake her up from her beauty sleep.

He doesn't reply but Alpha Ryan, who was fuming rage behind him trailed up to me and attempts to take her out of my reach, making me lash out defensively.

"Mine," I growl, taking a step back from him and scratching his forearm until blood was drizzling down onto the ground.

"Ryan!" Some female in a baby soft sweater and bouncy curls screams, rushing to his side, seizing his now soaked bloody forearm with tears wetting her pearly eyes.

Obviously, his Mate, My wolf scoffs.

"Are you okay?" She asked in a weak voice, her hand slightly trembling after touching his hand.

Alpha Ryan doesn't reply but takes her behind his back, still facing me with a fierce stare. I smile innocently while he frowned back and Alpha Zayn and Alpha Xavier took -guessing on their scent- their Mates behind them as well.

"You're not taking her anywhere," Alpha Zayn said strongly using his dominant Alpha tone on me. His broad chest might've worked on his Pack as a method to scare them but not on me. I roll my eyes.

"She's my Mate, and I CAN take her anywhere, where I want too," I snap, tugging on her small waist back into a protective hug while one of her soft baby-like hands remained on my right shoulder.

"Oh, hell nah you can't. You might be an Alpha but she's not your property. She's our family, not yours," another of the Alpha's sweet Mate said. She was in a pretty short and pretty sexy navy blue dress with killer legs.

"Oh, not yet she isn't," I hum to myself, while my Beta laughs rang out in the back. "You should appreciate that I'm not marking her right now in front of all of you.

"And the only reason I'm not is because I want her to see and feel me while I stuff my face against her neck and as my canines pierce her baby soft skin. I want her to remember the feeling of me burning under her skin and my only wish is that she to crave me as a drug. Her desperation will be my victory while her pleas music to my ears, plus her tears a sight to feast at."

"DONT YOU DARE!" Alpha Zayn lashed out impatiently. His Mate in apple bottom jeans, had to hold his shoulders back to prevent him from doing anything to extreme. She herself was sick with worry from what her face said.

"Oh I will....don't you worry about it but right now, I highly suggest you guys learn to control your sweet fragile Mates and their mouths because I wouldn't want your precious Mates to be found broken the next day, wouldn't you," I threaten lightly, making them even more angry than before. I was softly igniting their patients crumbling it to ashes like fireworks during New Years, erupting every now and then.

Alpha Xavier's eyes flashed as if he was about to shift, while his killer Mate held him back.

"Watch yourself you worthless little son-of-a-bitch, because the next time you threaten us or our sister, we'll rip you to shreds and feed you to the watch dogs," the mighty enraged Alpha Ryan said powerfully while I burst out laughing.

"I hate to burst your bubble, but I think the dogs might get indigestion, because they wouldn't prefer my meat as much as your Mates and darling si-"

Xavier was the first to grab my neck before I could finish while Zayn raced to rip my Mate away from me cradling her against his body and muttering soft words as all the Luna's huddled around them, stepping away from us.

Their petite bodies huddled together creating a curtain from me viewing my Mate. I give up from catching a sight of my Mate as her brother squeezed the living shit out of my neck. I caught a faint glimpse of her pale white face that was slowly blurring along the edges with her brother's face as my eyes grew heavy. I could see her long dark chocolate brown hair smudge, creating a halo.

How are they even siblings? Dylan asked, clearly more disgusted than before. I hand over my control as my body cries out for oxygen.

Dylan wrapped my hand around his neck while Xavier tries to do the same. I push him back a step, as I try to shove him against the wall just as hard as he was trying too.

The other Alphas tried to rip is us both apart, some begging Xavier as they pull and while others literally ripping me away but we had to much power being ranked the first and second best Alphas around so the chances were close to impossible.

"Stop IT!" His Mate in the navy blue dress yelled, "XAVIER, remember no matter what, he's Nora's Mate and you hurting him is just hurting Nora indirectly!"

He immediately let's go after hearing her, surprising me along. By the end of her sentence, I learned the name of Mate; Nora. Even though I don't know her last name, it didn't seemed to make a difference because she was getting my last name anyway; Romano. Nora Romano.

Mrs.Nora Romano..., My wolf purred, Sounds fun...

Oh shut up Dylan! She mine, I growl at him too, her wolfs all yours though. Fuck her wolf as dry as you want.

"Look at her neck Xavier! For God's sake just look at her!" She yells again, pointing her large red tipped nails towards my unconscious Mate, Nora.

She had crumpled onto the floor with her head on Zayn's shoulder sleeping beautifully until when Zayn brushed some of her straight hair from around her neck area. That's when I saw it around her neck, making my eyes wide with fear. And the slice down her forearm.

She had a large red-ish but now turning purple bruise circling around her elegant neck line like a choker. Anger fills me like a balloon and then I pop.

"WHY IS HERE A BRUISE AROUND HER NECK?" My wolf and me demand, using our Alpha tone against them.

"Can you all please, step out for a while?" Ryan says, in a calmer tone than I ever heard to the other Alphas. They step out off the living room and we hear them chatter by the front hall.

"Do we need to give you a special invitation to join them?" Zayn asked my Beta in a irrational way.

"He stays. He's my Beta and he has the right to know whatever you're going to say, considering he'll be more likely watching after her in my absence," I said back just as irrationally as he did.

He looks at Xavier irately hoping to say something but instead he nods back.

"Fine," he grumbles, crossing his arms.

"Listen up," Xavier said furiously. "Whatever happened here, stays here and whatever you hear also stay here's. Got it?"

I nod and face my Beta to so the same. I stuff my hands into the folds of my pockets. "Got it, now please. Hurry up," I say tiredly.

"The reason Nora got hurt was because as a family, even though we all have our separate wolves we're still all interconnected," Ryan said lightly, removing his crossed arms from each other and laying them flat against his sides.

That's when I noticed his scratch that I made, turn itself into a faint scar no bigger than a pinky length.

"Okay now. I was unaware that I signed up for Med school, so please kindly translate," I hear my Beta complain from the back.

Ryan scowls back and tries to step against him but Zayn tugs his arm back as I turn back and show my middle finger to him to signal him to shut up.

"Oh great! He's become Romeo now and cares for Juliette, just great!" He murmurs to himself. Everyone clearly shocked by actions, resume after a moment.

"What we mean," Zayn sighs, "is that our wolf bond is closer together than any other bond. Her wolf and ours are all, and have been connected together since birth for some reason and that's why whatever you do any of us, leaves an equal amount of damage on her."

I was flabbergasted. My eyes would've clearly displayed that. "And do you know why?"

"No," Ryan scowls but Xavier replys "Yes."

Everyone -including me -turn an eye to Xavier as he clears his throats to explain. "Yes, I do."

"Since she was born, she was always the fragile one. I remember being besides mom as she cradled and cried for her in the hospital bed with father next her. Since wolf memory starts at the age of 2, I remembered mostly everything that happened but in flashes.

"I remember the doctor coming in and saying she wasn't going to make it because she was born 2 months too early and also because her wolf wasn't fully developed to the point where it could survive without a host.

"Our parents had begged the doctor for a way but he said nothing could be done, and that she had about another 2 more hours to live. Mom cried most of the time but then she remembered a young lady from her childhood, that saved her brother from a chronic illness in which he was dying from.

"She was an immortal with centuries of knowledge and when they had asked her for a way to save Nora, she said that because she fragile, her life would need to be bonded on another life. She also said, the life has to be with someone of the same blood and they had to be young for the soul to lash onto. When they asked for my life to be bonded with hers, she denied saying I was too young but instead she offered to bond Nora's life to us three. Mom was desperate enough to agree and she pressured dad into as well.

"She spent the next few hours bonding our life's with Nora's, and luckily the next morning Nora was found healthy enough to live but she also warned them saying whatever happens to us three will affect her equally as much."

By the end, my wolf was skeptical and my face evidently showed my disgusted, not at her brothers but rather at her mother for thinking of such of a horrendous thing.

How can a mother do this? I ask him.

What difference does it make? We have our Mate and that's all I care about, He said back sharply and happily.

Fuck you, I snap.

You fuck her already! He complains, clearly desperate for his Mate.

"Sorry to interrupt, but is this lovely bond permanent?" My Beta hollered from behind.

"No," Xavier exhales, rubbing his temple, "She said she made the bond easy to break. It'll break when her Mate marks her."

"That's all?" I say, removing my hands from my pocket and clenching the by my sides. "Happy ending for her after I mark her?"

"No," he said looking up gravely, "and that's the bad part Ive been refraining on to bring up till now."

Before me, Zayn asked him tugging his arm back. "What do you mean bad part?"

He was definitely pissed, judging on his face and Ryan look just as much. Xavier doesn't answer them, he remained silent. Seconds later Zayn releases his grip on his arm and looks up at him with anger. Ryan's mouth left hanging open while the girls cover their mouths with either their hands or sleeves.

He's mind-linked them, my wolf snarled.

Before I say a word, they all turn to face looking into my eyes. Someone of them with anger, while some with dismay or others with some with shock.

Xavier voice comes out as a near growl with his eyes black with rage.

"After she'd marked, her life will be bonded to her Mates. Meaning yours."
