  He seemed to guess what I was thinking and now turned to look back at me " I will explain " he added.   And I started to debate through everything, should I trust this guy and get out of here but what if his leading me to my death bed. It's not that easy to trust a man that almost killed me.   "I don't know what to do so you could trust me " He whispered helplessly and I frowned.   "Add a piece of your soul to the soul pearl " that was all I could think of so I could trust him. With a part of his soul linked to mine if anything happens to me then he will be equally affected.   I thought he would say no but he didn't, instead he nodded " if that's what you want then I will do it "   I sighed in relief and immediately got ready to summon the soul pearl but stopped when I heard a series of footsteps rushing this way and am sure he heard them too cause in the next second he growled.   "f**k!! " he then turned to me and immediately moved toward me, grabbing me by the wrist he pulled me to my fist. I looked up at him in confusion and he seemed to notice.   "Am going to change but after I do get on to my back and hold on tight " he replied and I kept staring like I was seeing a new person.   "Do you get it " he added sternly and I snapped out of that world and nodded at him.   He took a few steps away from me and then started to transform in front of me, trust when I say that I just can't look away.   The sound of bones breaking and popping made me wince internally but in a few minutes a beautiful grey and black wolf stood in front of me. It was large and its dark eyes stared at me with a reminder to fulfill my part.   I snapped out of my shock when the was kicked open and it displayed it's fangs at the men in the door way, I was so afraid that I didn't dare delay anymore. I immediately climbed on its back and grabbed on its fur.   I wasn't steady enough or ready for what was about to happen as it raced off immediately causing the people by the door to jump out of the way in shock.   A scream escaped my lips and I buried my head in the grey fur as every where we passed was blur making me so dizzy.   I had the bone changing process behind and got nervous, though I couldn't understand a thing of what was going on it was clear that we were being chased as for the reason I don't know.   We managed to get out of the building and the moon shone above us as we tried to make way through and faraway from this society of wolves.   I didn't realize we had entered the woods until I felt him stopping, my heart raced off as I sat up and looked around. We are deep in the forest and nobody seemed to be following us anymore.   The moon light our way but my mate wasn't continuing any more, I slowly got off his back and landed back on my feet expecting him to change back but he didn't and I frowned looking at the wolf that was also staring at me with dark eyes.   I twitched my head to the side not sure if our method of communication was working but this egoistic jerk wasn't changing back either.   I shrugged and turned away, looking around where we are but there was nothing except the tree. As I turned back to the wolf he changed his eyes and started walking in another direction.   I stood frozen for a minute then started running after it, this wolf guy had serious mood swings.   We walked in silence for a while, its not like I can have a serious conversation with a wolf. After a while it stopped and I followed suit then my eyes snapped up as I wondered where we're.   In front of us was a wooden cottage, there was a river flowing at the side with the moon shining so bright above this place was so beautiful.   We walked towards the cottage and took the stairs at the front, I reached my hand out and pushed the door open. It squeaked loudly and lead us to the inside.   It was one large room with the bed at the other side and a couch then a table. There was a kitchen and a wooden wardrobe and another door at the other end.   It was easy to see through the darkness due to the bright moon outside that illuminated through the windows.   The door shut behind us and we walked into the room as I was lost in taking in all my surrounds I didn't notice that my mate had changed back to his human form until he was standing right behind me.   Two arms snaked around my waist and his breath fanned the skin of my neck, I was so startled almost jumping out of my skin.   I immediately turned around in his arms to face him but froze in his arms and scream escaped my lips and my hands flew to my eyes.   How can this guy touch me when he is completely naked.   A deep chuckle was heard above me but I didn't dare remove my hands from my face. I don't understand how this guy seems to be holding men when he rejected me.   I thought he never wanted me as a mate and didn't want me to be close to him but now he was standing in the room all naked while still holding me.   My heart drummed so hard against my check and shiver rushed down my spine, I wanted to push him away but I was so afraid to touch the naked him and if I pull my hands away from my self I will be tempted to look at him.   "Can you please let me go " I whispered softly hoping that he could hear my voice. my cheeks were so hot and I shuddered when I felt his breath closer.   His hot breath fanned my lips and my nose and my lips trembled out of instinct before parting, I sucked in a deep breath and waited patiently for his next move but soon he let go.   And I sighed as relief washed over me, soft footsteps were heard in the room and slowly I got my hands of my face in fear that he may still be standing right in front of me but he wasn't anymore.   I felt like I could finally breath but then I finally remembered that we didn't bring anything while running away so where was he going to get the clothes to put on.   Now I was on edge, does it mean that he will be walking around the place while naked. I slumped down on the black couch and nervously waited for him to come out and tell me that he has no clothes but that didn't happen.   After a few minutes he came out dressed in a black shirt and a pair of jeans, I was puzzled for a minute then remembered the wardrobe I had seen earlier.   "Check the kitchen for anything we may need on the way and I will pack the clothes " he stated and I looked up at confused.   I thought we're going to spend the night here but I might have thought too much.   " I know what you're thinking but we can't stay here for the night, most of the men in the pack know this place and they maybe on their way here " he added and I nodded in understand though a lot was going through my mind.   "But why are we running ?" That's what I have been wanting to ask all night. He turned to look at me after taking a bag from under the bed.   "I will explain on the way " Then he continued to the wardrobe. I nodded and stood up heading towards the kitchen.   There wasn't much food in there so I packed all I could see in another bag that he had brought to me, it's now I realised that I didn't know his name.   I decided that when we're leaving here am going to ask him, in a few minutes he was done and stood right there watching as I also zipped the food bag.   "Let's go" he whispered while holding out his hand for me to take, I looked at it for a while then took the duffel bag in my hand and held his hand with my free one before we walked out of the wooden cottage.   It was all silent around us and only our footsteps could be heard as we made our way deeper in to the night.   " what's your name ?" I whispered softly after remembering my decision to ask him when were out of the cottage.   He looked down at me with a hint of amusement in his eyes, he seemed to realise now that we don't know each other's names.   "Casper " he whispered softly.   I smiled while looking up at him, his name really was meant for him and it fitted him very well.   "Lilly " I whispered and he nodded.   "So my mates name is Lilly " he said softly while looking up at the skies, it felt like he was speaking to himself so I didn't utter a word.   The moon lit our way as we continued forward " where are we going ?" I asked and still didn't bother looking at me as we continued forward.   His hold on my hand tightened and that warmth was enough to comfort my heart and body. His touch gave me a certain kind of peace that made me feel safe with him right beside me, my heart isn't back to it's right pace though.   " I don't know " he replied and I stared at him for minute before lowering my eyes and nodding.   "I may have started with hurting you, and it wasn't intentional but I had to do it for your safety " he whispered softly and I raised my eyes looking up at him again but still he looked everywhere but me.   "Even if it's the last thing I have to do before I die, I will protect you with my life " when he whispered those words I froze causing him to also stop.   My eyes stared at him with confusion, happiness as a claw of warmth grabbed my heart squeezing it with joy.   Did it mean that he accepted me as his mate?
