Chapter 1
My name is Raymond Thomas Walter, and a Private in the British army. My old job in Lanchester was a post man but that matters little now. Im taller then most men at 6'2", and well built in my chest and back. I have fought along side the French for weeks as we get push back towards the British canal at Dunkirk. I don't know where we are going or how we are going to get there but I have no choice than to trust the men around me. I wake up on the beach and I look towards the sun rise. "Dishy" i whisper as I see different oranges and pinks paint across the skys and the little bit of clouds in the sky. I was oddy clear as i stand up and shake myself off. I walk towards the dock to look at the ships that just arrived to help in a evacuation tomorrow. I see a odd ship with the name of Kathleen, I look at ships hull and smiles as it seems like a brand new ship. I hear movement on the deck as i shift to the other side and I see the most beautiful woman, her long hair pulled back into a very messy bun, her dress goes down to her feet which I notice is bare. The a small ocean breeze that makes her dress flow with the wind and her light strands of hair that help frame her beautiful face. She wraps up a rope as i look at her, and smiles flashing my perfect teeth.
She notices me and looks at me curiously as if she never seen a soldier. "Ma'am im sorry to intrude on you but may i ask why a very beautiful woman like you doing here in Dunkirk, plus the evacuation isnt till the morn." I say as she almost floats up to me as her steps are so quiet. I get a good look at her as my breath hitches when she is right in front of me. She has a button nose, big emerald eyes, just perfect white skin, and her plump lips. She smiles and my heart explodes with excitement as she moves my now long hair away from my face. "My father brought me here, to help evacuate the soldiers. We been traveling around the world and happened to be in England when the order came out" her voice says so sweetly in a America accent. I feel my monster inside my chest wanting her by my side, i push my monster away as i don't need it ruining this. I hear a males voice below deck and I see her quickly turn around and walks over to open door on the ship. "Pa, your to far in the ship, I can hardly understand you" she calls softly out as I hear someone moving below deck and a big man comes out of the door. "Did you finish with ropes, Kathleen" he asks her in very calm voice when he notices im standing on the dock. "Pa, he is one of the soldiers. He came up from the beach wondering why we were here sir" She says softly as she looks at the ground. "Go start breakfast darling, I will take care of him. Make up enough for 3, Kat" He says as he leans over and kisses her head. She walks into the haul . dissapears as the older gentlemen comes up too me. "Hey there soldier, im Robert Alexander Martin. May i ask why should I let you board my ship?" He asks as if he expects me to say something viall about his daughter. "Sir, I am a soldier and i have family across that channel. I want to be with the for at least another year, and about your daughter. I am a man of code, i will court your daughter but not touch in those ways you refer too. But i will only court her with your permission not just because" I say sternly as I look into his eyes as i see pride and happiness. "Very well, you can come on board. Im sure Kat has the meal done and you can join" he mutters as he helps me onto the ship, he leads me into the ship.
The small door lead to a small kitchen and dining room. I see a small door on the other side and its a bedroom. I look down and there is the engine room under the hatch beside me. I look back up when her father shuts the hatch and I walk over to the table. I see a small bedroom in the corner and I turn to the girl Infront of the cook top stove. I hear the sizzling sound of meat on a pan and I smell the aroma of frying eggs, and ham. I smile at myself as I see a small bathroom. "Do you mind if I freshen up" I mutter low as her father sits at the table and shakes his head. "No we dont mind at all kid" he mutters as i head to the bathroom. I wash my face and I look in the mirror. I see my defined jaw, my pronouned cheek bones, and my brown eyes as i sigh. "Im average and she isn't but my monster say differently, it crys mate towards her. She is beautiful and can take care of herself im guessing. I will marry this woman" i say to myself as I exit and I accidentally bump into her and she nearly falls so i grab her quickly. I catch her scent and its of Lavender and lilac mixed with vanilla. She smells beautiful as she quickly moves away from me with a blush a cross her small face.
"Okay im guessing werewolf" her father says as i turn to him and nods. "I am but how do you know" I whisper as I look at Kat and shakes my thoughts of taking her right now away. "Im one, got bit after Kathleen was born. She is still human but I was changed by magic. Since the werewolf trait is past down through the Male's line after all" he mutters as he walks over to me and shakes my hand. "She understands what a mate is, and we talked while you were in the bathroom" he whispers in my ear and I look at her. "Can i claim her, before something happens?" I ask calmly as i walk over to her and I see our meal is done. "Only if she agrees" he mutters deeply as I move a piece of hair behind her ear. "Will you take me" i whisper as I can smell a change in her. "Yes but dad?" She whispers as she looks at him. "After breakfast, and while im in town you two" he mutters as he sits down. I sit beside him and she sits beside me. "Don't worry im a gentleman, we can be married in both yours and my worlds before we do anything" I say in a stern manner as she relaxes alittle bit. I look at her and I move a stray hair away from her face. "You both are cute, and I have to admire you for that strength" her father says as I quickly pull my hand away from Kathleen's face. We slowly eat our meal as me and Robert talk about cars and about general boat mechanics. Kathleen cleans up the table without a word, i can tell she is nervous but why i wonder. "So the war, do you think America is going to get involved" Robert asks as we lean back in our chairs. I sigh when i can tell Kathleen tenses up, I look at her back as she cleans a pan in the small sink. "Sir, it isn't proper to speak about such things in front of a lady" I chimed in a flat voice.
I watch Kathleen dry the pan and goes over and puts it away. I notice all the cook ware is cast iron, it must be heavy for her to move around. She started looking at the pantry, i see her shift alittle bit as she thinks. She walks over and grabs a note pad and a pencil. She writes a list and I watch her look in the ice chest. She sighs as she goes to the cupboards and goes through cans of food. She climbs into the counter to get full access to the cupboards. She looks through the canned goods and I even see like home canned goods. I watched her for a long while as her butt is in the air and she is holding onto the cupboard so she doesn't fall. She climbs down when she starts counting the cans and jars. "Raymond, im going to the town and picking up a couple of things for my daughter and well stuff we have ran out of over the travels" he says and it knocks me out of my obsessive staring. I shake his hand as I smile. "Dont worry we won't do anything, and she will be safe with me Robert" I mutter as I clap my hand against his and he takes the list Kathleen had written and he leaves for the ships deck. Then to go into camp to talk to a couple people about supplies. I knew he wasn't going to find anything he probably knew that, he just wanted to give us alone time before I claim her so nobody touches her. I walk up behind her as she tries to put stuff away. I help her and she jumps when she sees my arm, its like she forgot I was there. "Sorry, but i saw you struggling earlier and I wanted to help" I mutter as I get against her back her head is right above my stomach. She kinda freezes at the sudden touch and I can sense she is really nervous. After I was done I put my hand on her neck and chin, I pull her head back so she can look at me.
Her beautiful emerald eyes look at me with a mix of wonder and nervousness. "I won't hurt you Kathleen, but I want to claim you before anything bad happens. You will be in some pain but it won't be that bad" I say to her trying not to lose myself in her eyes. I feel she gulps out of nervousness, and she slowly and shakily nods at me. I undo the top three buttons on her dress and I look down and I see her breast, they are large but not overly huge. I pull one side of her dress off her shoulder and I come down and kiss her neck. I feel her shiver at the gesture as its something new for her. I put my nose on her soft skin as she is nervous and scared. "Its okay, I won't hurt you, I promise" I hum in her ear as i lick where I'm about to bite her shoulder. I sink my teeth into her shoulder and I hear a whimper leave her lips. I bite harder into her shoulder til I taste blood and I hear her scream out. I lick the wound on her shoulder and it starts to heal as I do so. I hear her breathing and I can tell she is no longer in pain. I feel her body relax to my touch as I straighten up her dress. I look at her and I dont think when I kiss her. I feel her try and pull away at first but soon she returns my kiss. I put my hands on her waist and I feel her body tense up so much. I pull away from her, and I look at her, "We don't have too right now, Kathleen, I'm fine waiting for you" I whisper as she nods and she pulls away from me. I feel her relax as she fixes her collar, I walk up behind her and I can tell she still nervous. "You need to relax, and maybe ask some questions or something" I mutter as she jumps again and she turns to me. "Im not sure what to say or talk about" her sweet voice cracks under the pressure of my stare. "Well okay then, let's go and lay together" I whisper as I grab her hand and lead her to what smells like her room. I lay down and I motion for her to lay beside me, I watch her tiny body crawl between me and the metal wall. I watch as her eyes slowly close and I watch as she slowly falls asleep as her breath slows down. I place my hand on her stomach and I slowly fall asleep listening to her breath.
