Born Into Darkness Ch. 11

He held himself still and allowed Sophie's body to accustom to his girth and size. Looking down, he smiled at his feisty mate who was scratching at his back and moving her hips for more. She was always begging for more. But he couldn't, they needed to stay like this until he marked her and she marked him.

"Sophie. Baby look at me," He said, caressing her cheek. His mate looked up at him lovingly. He now knew why Kell had left him for Penelope. Right now if Sophie asked him to commit murder, not that she would, he would do it in a heartbeat, just to see her smile. He was hers to command. "Lovebug, it's time."

Inhaling, Dean allowed his beasts to take over. He felt his teeth elongate once more; and tried really hard to ignore how tight his mate was and how good she was milking his dick without even trying.

Sophie was looking up at him the whole time, all he saw was love and adoration. It was all he could ever ask for. Not that he's comparing his beautiful mate to Eris but Eris was a bitch and wanted a fuck buddy. But with Sophie everything wasn't about sex, he could actually sit down and have a conversation with her and he knew she would give him her full undivided attention. Sophie was perfect in every way.

"I Kyros, ask you Sophie Valentine, to accept me as your mate. Do you accept?" He saw tears threatening to spill from the corners of her big brown eyes.

"I do." She squeaked out, making him smile.

As soon as those words left her mouth, her eyes morphed into three different colors: pink, amethyst then sapphire blue. Whatever was going on with Sophie he hoped that it was explainable because he'd never seen anything like it; but they looked so beautiful, just like her, they were unique.

After her eyes returned back to normal, her teeth changed, only they weren't as long as his. They just grew about a centimeter longer and were pointy. She looked normal.

Sophie squirmed and tightened around him, making him hiss from the blinding pleasure she was giving him. "Baby you're killing me here." She giggled in response.

Dean growled and tilted her head to the side and started looking for her sweet spot because he knew that that spot was made for him and only him to mark; which so happened to be where Kell told him to mark her. And he knew very well that whenever he kissed her there, she gets all hot and bothered and her sweet scent would wash over him like a tidal wave.

Licking her neck, she moaned out and squeezed him tighter. "Sophie." He said through clenched teeth.

Sophie's only reply was another moan. He smirked... he found her sweet spot; he took the opportunity to bite down on her neck finally marking her as his.

His mate.

As soon as he got a taste of Sophie's blood, he felt his beast connect with Sophie's. He wondered what she would become, especially seeing her eyes react as soon as she said I do. He bet she would be a wolf like him but small, cute and fluffy.

Dean hissed when he felt Sophie bite into his neck and it felt fucking euphoric. He could feel everything she felt and, if he had to guess, she also felt what he was feeling. He felt his mate pull away and actually positioned them with her new abilities, strength being one of them and now his feisty little Sophie was on top of him grinding her hips with both hands on his chest using it as support.

Fuck. His mate might look innocent outside of the bedroom, but who knew she was a vixen inside. She felt so tight... fucking amazing. That's as best as he can describe it. Fuck all the women in his past that he used as a fuck buddy and something to warm his bed. He found his 5'2, feisty mate and nothing and no one was taking her away.

Sophie's movements became jerky and passionate, as well as her sensual moan and lip biting, indicated she was on the brink of release and it was his turn to pounce.

Sitting up, he wrapped Sophie's legs around his waist and pulled her into him so her breasts her pressed flat against his chest, making her moan in delight. He then took a handful of hair and made her tilt her head to the side exposing his mark. He brought his lips down and lightly kissed his mark causing Sophie to buck.

He cursed at how good it felt to be inside his mate. Finally his mate, even though he just found out about mates not that long ago, he was relieved that he found her just in time; imagine if he never ran into her, she would've been in her ex's grubby fingers as his fucking slave. Dean's beast growled at the thought of someone taking his Sophie away from him; he'd go to hell and back then go back once more.

Sophie stopped moving and cupped his face with her small hands and rubbed her nose against him; this calmed him down and made him all 'lovey dovey', as Sophie liked to call it. "No one is going to take me away, plus I'd nag them to death or talk their ear off."

He chuckled and nibbled Sophie's neck, making her squeal in delight as she squirmed in his lap. Dean then trailed his unoccupied hand down Sophie's body from her lower back down her flaring hips, down to her bubble butt ass that made him grow harder just by grasping the excessive amount of flesh. His next goal was to mark her there too, but sadly that one wouldn't be permanent, like the one on her neck. Then he cupped her precious hot core that drove him mad with lust; he actually felt himself get thicker, and Sophie's sudden pause was his proof making him smirk.

"Dean, how is it you're growing right now?" His mate asked as she remained still then looked into his eyes.

Dean swiftly thrust his hips up and filled his tiny mate to the brink. It was amazing how someone as tiny as Sophie could withstand a brute like him. She took him in all the fucking way! "Mmm you shouldn't tease me, Dean, while you're in such a vulnerable position right now."

Cocking an eyebrow up at his mate's words, "Why do you say that-?" Before he could finish his sentence Sophie climbed off him, pushed him so he was now lying flat on his back and he felt his bold mate take him into her mouth.

"Fuck Sophie!" Dean jerked when he felt Sophie's tongue run up his length and swirl around the now weeping head, making him growl.

His beast loved it all, but wasn't going to allow his mate to tease him and make him submit. He was the one who's supposed to be in control, not her.

Pulling Sophie from his still rock hard member, he twirled her around so she was back on all fours with her perky ass in the air. He snaked an arm around her waist as he grasped his member and slid it back inside his mate's hot core, making them both groan at the new sensual position.

He felt himself go deeper inside her and the head of his dick was growing a knot, which never happened before; Sophie was loving it all, her small hands groped his bed sheets and swayed her hips frantically. She purposely tightened around him.

"Damn it Dean, move, please. I need you now." Sophie breathlessly said. This new side of Sophie was fucking sexy, she was wild and demanding. He complied and started moving in sync with his desperate mate.

Sophie screamed out his name in ecstasy and came. Now it was his turn, he switched positions and he was now on top and she wrapped her legs around him once more. He picked up the pace and lowered his face to the crook of Sophie's neck, inhaling her scent.

He felt his mate twitch under him; she was about to have another orgasm, this one was going to be the big finale. He moved his hand down and used a finger to rub her clit; she pulled him closer to her body and moaned out his name once again.

Dean was starting to love the sound of his name coming out of his mate's lips as she begged for more. He felt bad and he was in dire need of release.

Sophie

"Fuck Dean, I'm coming!" She moaned out loud as Dean moved faster; both hips and fingers. Sophie screamed his name as she climaxed and she felt Dean roar and clamp down onto the mark on her neck.

Her body simmered down from her high and relaxed. Dean let go of her neck and rubbed his bearded cheek against hers, making her laugh. She ran her fingertips lightly up and down Dean's back making him groan; who knew her mate was so easy to please just by rubbing his back.

She was about to move when she felt pleasure coming from her core and rippled throughout her body making her shudder. It was Dean, he was still inside her.

"Dean baby, you can pull out now." Sophie said as she continued to rub his back.

Dean chuckled and lifted his head up from her breasts. "Yeah... about that baby... we're gonna have to wait a while. I'm knotted up inside you."

Sophie scrunched her face in confusion. What did he mean by knotted up? "We're stuck like this?"

Dean nodded and went back to nuzzling her breasts.

"Is this normal?" She asked worried.

He chuckled again. "We aren't normal, but yeah it's normal. The thing is Kell told me something like this would happen. He said it only happens to true mates to ensure pregnancy."

Sophie nodded at the new information. Did she want to become pregnant already? She just graduated and she has a career, but she now has a mate and they were about to engage in a war with gods... a baby wouldn't be safe in their situation right now.

Yeah it was bad, but she would love to have Dean's babies as long as he's by her side to raise them, heck she loved kids. She wanted a whole soccer team of them running around.

"Sophie, are you ok?" Dean asked in a concerned voice. Sophie looked into his eyes and smiled.

"I'm ok." She replied and kissed him softly on the lips then pulled away. Dean gave her a full blown smile then went back to nuzzling her breasts.

Sophie noticed Dean's tattoos; she never saw all of it, just his arms. They were tribal and went from his wrists, covered his shoulders and his buff chest. They were intricate and unique and looked like it had hurt a lot.

"Like what you see?" Dean mumbled.

She giggled. "Yeah I do, it makes you look all manly and rugged. It's very sexy."

He picked up his head and wiggled his eyebrows. Oh boy, she just made his head big with the compliment, but it was true. Dean had the sexy whiskered jaw and cheeks and the tattoos were a bonus adding to his sexiness.

Dean rolled them over so she was on top now and he played with her hair, which probably looked like a rats nest right now.

"No, you're hair is fine. It's actually really sexy and wild." Dean said making her blush.

"When did you get the tattoo?" Sophie asked as she traced the tattoo on his chest with her finger.

"Long time ago sweetness, I got them because of my many victories in war. A friend of mine named Victor was a specialist, any time we got back to Greece he would add more and more and this was his masterpiece. I was just the canvas, along with many of my buddies." Dean said as he picked up her hand and kissed the tip of her finger.

"Oh... war stories. Do tell." Sophie said resting her head on Dean's chest.

Dean

There were so many good and bad, he didn't know where to begin.

Fuck that, he had a good one. When he and Kell ran into each other again during war time, which was one of the best times of his life. It was when he learned to fight better and heightened his powers and strengths, such as sword play and dagger throwing.

"When the Peloponnesian War broke out, I was sent out with a crew of scrawny men to defend the King's house; it was a test and a punishment. Enemies were coming from every direction and we were cornered. It wasn't long until Kell and others from one of our allies came, but they were too late, we had fended off our enemies. When I saw Kell it was like seeing my long lost brother, we hugged and looked like two little girls and we didn't give a shit since we were elites, best of the best. Kell trained me and made me a better fighter and, don't tell him this, but back then he was able to kick my ass. It was bad, but after years of training I became the master." Dean said puffing up his chest, making Sophie laugh.

"I remember when the guys and I went to a brothel to celebrate and Kell got so drunk after I laced his drink with ambrosia, he made out with a horse," Dean chuckled, remembering it as if it were yesterday. "I just wished Penelope were still here, Kell isn't the same Kell as he was back then. He's so serious all the time and he hardly ever cracks a smile... but then again the same applies to me, but now I can't seem to stop smiling or laughing when it comes to my mate. You're my kryptonite, and I love it and I love you. From you little pink toes to your black curly hair that always smells so damn good, like perfume but you don't use perfume." Dean said sniffing Sophie's hair.

His Sophie laughed again. "I buy this special conditioner that moisturizes my hair and keeps the frizz away." His tiny mate yawned adorably, making her nose wrinkle.

Dean rolled them to the side and pulled the blanket over them, spooning his tiny mate's body. "Sleep tight mate." He kissed her head and closed his eyes.

Dean

Groaning, Dean tried to stretch but a whimper caught him off guard. He felt a body press against him and something cold pressed against his lower back.

He looked over his shoulder and saw Sophie curled up into a ball with her cold pink toes pressed against his back, making him shiver. How was his mate cold if immortals never get cold? And when did she put on one of his sweaters?

But Sophie was one of a kind, he turned so he was facing her, and he couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead. Sophie was finally his mate; it was too good to be true.

Sophie groaned and unconsciously crawled on top of him, tucking her hand under his chin with the other raking his hair and her legs intertwined with his.

"Sophie..." Dean said as he rained soft kisses on his mate's face.

"Five more minutes... five." Sophie mumbled as she scrunched her nose.

Dean slipped from under Sophie's body and Sophie curled into a ball and rubbed her face in his pillow. She was a heavy sleeper; he also remembered she wasn't much of a morning person either. He decided to surprise her with breakfast in bed.

He materialized clothes on his body and walked to the kitchen and the gang was there. Kell had an evil grin on his face while Roxana and Ajax smiled then talked amongst themselves.

Kell got up from his seat and slapped him on the back. Dean didn't even wince; he was used to Kell's abuse.

"How was it?" Kell asked, jabbing him in the ribs with his elbow.

Dean shook his head and walked over to the coffee machine.

"You son of a bitch, I bet you knocked it right out of the park." Kell said as he chuckled along with Ajax who looked good as new.

"Fuck off asshole." Dean poured himself a cup of coffee, but dropped the mug as soon as he felt panic erupt throughout his body, it was coming from Sophie, he grabbed Kell's sword that was on the table and used his powers to appear back into his room.

Sophie was gone. The sweater she was wearing was on the floor along with the blanket.

"Sophie, baby where are you?" Dean bellowed.

Kell ran into the room with an identical sword and was breathing way too hard for Dean's liking; he was probably still weak from the stab wound.

Dean heard rustling from his bathroom and charged towards the door and kicked it open. He couldn't believe his eyes.

"Sophie is that really you?" Kell said taking the words right out of his mouth.

In front of him was a snow leopard, it was smaller than an average snow leopard, but it didn't faze him one bit. She had a beautiful white coat with black spots, pointy ears with black tips and her eyes were pink. Sophie's primary form was a beautiful snow leopard.

Dean what's going on? Dead heard Sophie's scared voice inside his head.

"Sophie breath relax, it's just your first shift. It's ok, I'm here love." Dean walked over to Sophie and petted her. She purred while her tail flicked side to side, loving the attention.

Kell walked over to his side and picked Sophie up earning a yelp. Dean was ready to give him hell for doing that but Sophie rubbed her furry head against Kell's hand.

"Kell, when Sophie accepted to be my mate her eyes turned three different colors. Do you think she could have two other forms?" He asked as he reached for his mate and cuddled her into his chest as if she were a tiny kitten; she sure acted like one.

Kell shrugged. "Could be, Sophie try to shift again."

Dean placed Sophie on the floor and stepped back. Nothing was happening, Sophie was still a leopard.

He looked at Kell and shrugged. "I guess I was wrong-" Kell took his face and made him look back at Sophie who was now a small pure white fox, with amethyst colored eyes. She was even smaller than her leopard form.

"Hey guys, what's the commotion?" Roxana asked popping her head into the bathroom. She gasped as soon as she saw Sophie on the floor. "Sophie? Holy shit! Oh my goodness you're so cute, I could just eat you up." Roxana said in a baby voice.

Sophie yipped and wagged her fluffy tail.

"Sophie also turned into a snow leopard; Dean said he saw Sophie's eyes change as soon as she accepted him as a mate. One more color to go right?" Kell said looking at him.

Dean nodded then smiled with pride, his small mate was definitely unique. Ok baby try one more time. You're doing great. I couldn't be more proud to have you as a mate.

Sophie in fox form yipped. I love you, Dean. Sophie said in reply then her fox form transformed into another feline, but he didn't know what it was, only this time her eyes were a pair of glowing sapphire blue eyes.

"What the fuck? How did an oncilla get in here?" Dean turned and saw Ajax walk into the bathroom.

"Is that what she is?" Dean said looking back at his mate.

"Ah she's so cute, let me get a pic. Sophie, stay still and say cheese." Roxana pulled out her iPhone and snapped a couple photos of Sophie who actually posed, making everyone laugh.

Dean swept Sophie up and walked her back to his bed and placed her under the covers. Baby, I need you to shift back to human form. Do you need me to walk you through it?

No. I got it, it's real easy. I thought it would hurt, you know like in the movies? Sophie's body grew longer and she was no longer in her animal form but back in her human body.

She smiled up at everyone while she clutched the blanket to cover her naked body.

Dean growled and manifested clothes on Sophie's body, black tights and one of his sweaters. He loved how his mate looked in his clothes; making her look dainty and small.

Sophie clapped her hands together, gathering everyone's attention, his included.

"Breakfast time." Sophie said.

"Fuck yes!" Kell hollered as he threw Sophie over his shoulder and ran out of their bedroom.

Dean growled, he was having none of that. No one touches his mate. "Kell, you sack of shit, put my mate down right now!"
