Elena's POV

I woke up as something heavy moved on my side. I opened my eyes slightly to see none other than Bryan sleeping peacefully wrapping his arms around me. Though i was feeling warm in his embrace i was quiet comfortable. I watched my clock and it was just early morning. I looked back at Bryan who was sleeping like a baby snoring softly. I remebered yesterday's events. I felt so strong and the bond between us was more attractive. I don't think i would ever stay without him. I have accepted the fact that i am no longer a human. But this new me is more beautiful and powerful then the old me. At start it was difficult to adopt my changes, but now i feel more confident. Arina and Demon have helped me to train. Bryan was the silent supporter though. He was very caring, i knew he use to see me while training from far. I was also tempted to look at him, but i didn't wanted to because i knew i would lose my control if i see him. His face though constantly remained in my eyes. This distance made me realise how much i am in love with him. I use to watch him whenever i wasn't in the training. My heart ached that i was restricted to talk to him. ..maybe that was for the good. Because all these day's have made me realise about my feelings and the result is here with me. I have learnt all the rules laid by council, how to fight, the strenghths and weaknesses of all the species i may be facing, and also came to know about mating even more. Even if i am still under training, Demon allowed me to see Bryan. I had this in mind that he will surely come to see me. I was watching Arina, she seemed happy and was desperate to leave me alone yesterday making some or the other excuse. It was weird that knowing Demon was away for two days she would be so happy with me...and my suspicion was right. I saw Bryan in my frontyard while he just arrived...and when he came inside i smelt him. That was the plus point, i could recognize the scent of the known people and now i know what Bryan talked about this thing. He was surprised to see me trap him when he entered my room, but after that it wasn't beyond our control, now here he is sleeping soundly with me in his arms. I looked at him and he became stiff moving slightly, he moved me closer to him.

"Ummm...Morning beautiful." he mumbled cuddling me.

"Morning handsome." i replied enjoying his warm embrace.

"Did you sleep well?" he asked looking at me. I nodded smiling.

"So...how about another round of early morning love?" he asked wiggling his eyebrows.

"Bryan!!!" i punched his arm lightly.

"What? I love you!! I have the right to make love to you whenever i want. Don't i ?"

"No..you don't .."

He gave me a confused look.

"Why? I want to..I love you...Pleaseee.." he asked expectedly, and before i could reply he was on top of me already. I squeaked and pulled him closer.

"Ahh...now that's like my girl.." he said grinning and pushed his lips to mine.

........

"BRYANN!!! OHH GOD...WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" i called out from the dressing table when i saw a wolf tattoeed on my waist.

Bryan came out of the bathroom just in a towel wrapped around his waist, he was looking so handsome, i was gawking at him like a fool.

"What? Like what you see huh?" he gave me a wink and gave a peck on lips. I got out of my imaginary state and blushed.

"Umm..ahh..no..i was..just..umm.." i fumbled with the words to clear my mind.

"What is it? Why did you called?" he looked at me upside down in hunger, just when i realised i was in nothing but a bra and a towel which was hanging lower on my waist, i gripped the towel tighter.

"Yeah..actually, i want to show you something." I slid my towel a bit and showed him.

"What is this?" i asked. There was a tattooeed mark of wolf on my waist.

"Hmm...didn't i told you yesterday? Wait.." he said and slid his towel lower. "Look.." he said and i saw a similar wolf tattooed on his waist.

"It's our mating mark. It proves that we are mated and marked." he explained and i realised what he meant. I nodded and started dressing busy in my own thoughts. He too didn't say anything and got dressed himself.

Today i had planned to visit my cafe. I haven't gone there since the transformation. I need to see if every thing is alright. Bryan in that time was going back to the pack house for looking after what was needed, as Demon is away, Bryan was incharge and responsible for everything till then.

"Are you ready?" he asked hugging me from behind.

"Yes.." i replied looking in the mirror at him.

"You look beautiful." he said trailing kisses on my neck.

"So do you.." i replied winking. He let out a small laugh brfore bending and kissing me.

"I like this fiesty side of you. I will miss you today."

"Hmm..it's just matter of few hours."

"Let's just ditch this plans and make love again and again." he said in a serious tone.

"Bryan..." i gave him a no nonsense look. He held his hands up in surrender.

"I know..i know...but still. I'll make sure i get what i want tonight...you will pay for this sweetheart.." he winked. I slapped his arm playfully.

"Take care of yourself okay. I know you can..but still.." he looked at me suddenly changing the subject. I nodded giving him a smile.

"ELENA!!!" Suzie squealed when i made my way to the billing counter after entering my shop. Though her smile didn't last long as she saw me frowning.

"What is wrong with you? You look so different. New hair, new look.. what kind of surgery have you gone through? No offence i mean you look so beautiful."

I looked at her surprised..I forgot this people didn't know about my new change...

"Umm..."

"ELENA?" i heard Shawn calling me. I turned to look at him, as he came near me and gave a hug.

"Hi Shawn..how have you been?"

"All good girl..where were you..and what's with this new look..You really look hot!"

"Ohh Shawn..Thank you..Just been through a lot these days, thought some change would be good." i came up with an excuse.

"Definitely the best decision." he said grinning.

"So..hows all going here?"

"Good , but we missed you..specially me when i have no company then of this idiot!!" Suzie spoke glaring at Shawn.

"Will you shut your stupid mouth?" he glared back.

"Yeah..just if you will stop showing your stupid face to me.."

"Suzie..just..cut the crap..."

"Hey..hey..chill..whoa..what's going on here..a pissing contest?" i asked calming them both. They both looked at me and sighed.

"I'm going back to work." Shawn said and walked towards the kitchen.

"Jerk" I heard Suzie mumbling. I gave her a skeptical look.

"What?..He is a jerk." she said shrugging.

"Are you going to stop this behaviour and give me the records of past few days? I want to go through everything."

"Umm..yes..sure." she said and followed me to my desk.

"Hey.." i received Bryan's call.

"Hi..how is your day?" Bryan asked.

"Going fine, lot of pending work though."

"So how's everything there?"

"Cool, just don't know what's wrong with both of them, i mean Suzie and Shawn, both are acting weird. I am feeling like i am at some fight concert." i giggled remembering the morning pissing contest and then again two times when they were almost an inch away from throwing punches. God knows..what happened between them. I will ask shawn later.

"Seems something has happened when you were not there."

"I think so too..anyways i will talk to Shawn about it later."

"Hmm..have you find some way to be away from work tomorrow ? Later we have a weekend. We have to visit the council remember?"

"No..not yet, i think i will sort something with Shawn. Bryan..is this really necessary, i mean to visit council."

"No...actually not...they don't call unless necessary. I am surprised they asked us to pay a visit. Maybe because you are daughter of the most strongest Hunters. Don't worry though i will be there with you. Demon has extended his stay for few days but i can manage for one day."

"Hmm..okay.."

"I will be there at 4 p.m. to pick you up okay?"

"Yeah sounds good to me."

"Okay then..i will see you later. Love you babe."

"Yeah. Love you too..Bye."
