Her

Chapter 26: Marked

I nodded my head at Roman and we walked toward the door.

A guy tapped Roman on his shoulder and whispered something in his ear, smiling haughtily.

I saw Roman's jaw clench. He turned around and punched the guy square in the face, making the other party guest gasp.

"Let's go, Katherine," Roman said roughly as he came over to me and gripped my arm.

We left out and got in the car. The whole ride back was silent, I knew Roman was angry as hell. I could feel the fury radiating off of him.

I felt so bad that I was the cause of all of it.

We made it to the house and Roman went inside our room and locked the door.

He probably hated me and was regretting ever proposing to me.

I felt tears leak out of my eyes. Maybe this relationship wouldn't work, especially given my past.

I was headed out the door and then Roman came out of our room.

"Where are you going?", he asked.

I cleared my throat," I'm leaving, like you want," I said, trying to keep my voice steady.

"I don't want you to leave, I want to talk," Roman said. I nodded and closed the front door.

"I don't want you to get offended by what I'm asking, how many guys have you slept with?", he asked.

"I don't understand how that is any of your business. The guys that I have been with are a part of my past and I intend to leave them there," I said.

"Your right, but I just want to know how many more guys I'm going to have to encounter. I mean half of the guys at the party came up to me, talking about you," Roman said.

"Is that your polite way of calling me a whore?,'' I asked.

"I'm not calling you a whore. I just want to know," Roman said.

"How many girls have you sleep with?", I asked him.

"2, including you," he said.

"Then if you must know I honestly don't know. Most of the time it was a blur and the times that I do remember weren't pleasant so I like to forget them," I told him, feeling my old memories resurface.

"Oh Katherine, I completely forgot. Did any of those guys at the party hurt you?", Roman asked softly.

"I don't want to talk about it," I said as I walked into our room and started crying.

"I'm so sorry love. I didn't mean to be so insensitive, my wolf got really jealous and I turned into an asshole," Roman said as he hugged me tight.

"Do you still want to be with me?", I asked, wiping my tears and sniffling slightly.

"Of course, there's nothing in the world that could ever make me want to leave you. I love you unconditionally," he said as he softly stroked the side of my face with his thumb.

"Mark me," I said.

"What?", he asked.

"Mark me, make me officially yours," I said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"He can't," the woman said.

"What do you mean I can't?", Roman asked her.

Roman had tried to mark me, but the mark wouldn't take.

"The girl you are with has two mates. In order for you to mark her, her other mate has to be marking her as well," the women said.

I saw Roman's jaw clench in anger.

"You don't have to mark me, we can just get married," I told him softly.

He growled slightly and left out the room.

"Do you know who your other mate is?", the woman asked.

"Yeah it's his brother, they don't get along," I said.

She nodded her head in understanding.

"I'm going to go check on him," I said as I left out.

I found Roman sitting in the waiting room breathing hard.

He must have sensed my presence because his head snapped up.

"Your mine and no one else's!", he yelled as he stalked over and hugged me close.

"I know, I'm all yours," I said, hoping to calm his wolf down. He held me even tighter, growling 'mine' under his breath.

His breathing slowly calmed down and he let go off me.

"I'm sorry, did I hurt you?", Roman asked sorrowfully.

"No I'm fine, are you okay?", I asked.

"I'm fine, I love you," he said as he kissed me.

"I love you too," I murmured against his lips.
