Wolfsbane

Chapter 3

When we arrive at the Mystic Meadows territory line, we are stopped by the guards, it's early hours of the morning, but it is still pitch black outside. Kieran slid the window down and the wind and cold air hit me from the back seat causing me to shiver. “Freya Williams has a visitor… from the Luna Moon Pack…” “we have no authority to allow you in, there is no permission from Freya notifying us that a visitor will be here to see her.” “Well, can you not get hold of her to allow us in?” “ At this time of the morning, No, and No because it’s not our Jobs, It must be arranged beforehand.” One of the guards arrogantly says. I was getting pissed off with them at this point and used my finger, as cold as I was, to press the button to open the window, and it slid down. Feeling the fresh cold air hit my face like a blizzard. “I suggest you make it your f*****g Job Pup!” I shouted using my alpha voice, and then I pressed the button again and closed the window. Kieran also closed his window. We watched them scurry off like chickens without heads, and they eventually opened the gate. We drove in silence, until Kieran burst into sudden laughter, “what the f**k was that about Luna…” He asked, I don’t normally do that, treat people with disrespect, or use my Alpha voice unnecessarily. “I’m cold Kieran and I need sleep, I have been in and out of sleep on the road, and I’m exhausted I would just like a nice warm bed and maybe a hot cup of coffee?” He laughs,  “Okay well Luna we are almost there..” I nod and relax again back in my seat. My wolf, that only makes an appearance here and there, has been mumbling and going off like a rogue in my head. Her name is May, and she is silent but sassy. She is very calm but push her the wrong way and her temper goes from one to a million in like zero-point two seconds. As we drive I notice that the town looks like a real community, although the shops are closed, there is a diner, a café, a bookstore, and a few other shops, even a church, like a real little village. Everything is far apart from each other, which is very odd, especially in a pack. May is getting stronger and agitated the closer we get to the packhouse. As we pull up I see Aunt Freya standing outside in her Pajamas, with two guards. Kieran stops the car in front of them, I climb out and she engulfs me in a hug. “My darling girl! How long has it been?!” “too long Aunt Freya, too long.” She rubs my arms feeling how cold I was, “come in Girl, Let me get you some hot cocoa, and then I can show you to your room, It's late and I’m sure you are exhausted…” I nod as she escorts me in, Kieran stays to get the bags. As I enter, the house is warm, and my nostrils are filled with a scent that I cannot describe, a mixture of Oak and Musk and a hint of vanilla, those are the only describable smells I get. “Wow, what is that smell? The packhouse smells Divine Aunt Freya.”  She shows me to a stool at the Island in the kitchen and gestures me to take it. “I don’t know what you’re talking about love… It smells like wet dog in here…” She says sniffing the air and giggling a little. She makes my cocoa, and we chat a bit, there's silence in the house besides, her and I talking. We are abruptly interrupted by a hard slam of a door somewhere in the house. No one can be awake at this time of the morning other than the guards, “Oh dear, I think we woke Kane up…” she says and pauses listening for him, and what he is doing, and if he is on the way to kill us just because we had woken him. Moments later, I’ve been pushed on the floor and bitten, Not just bitten, Marked, I’ve got my shirt being pulled down and teeth in between the hollow of my neck, I wince in pain. Although my body doesn’t struggle, then the pain subsides and the painful bite becomes pleasurable. “Kane! Stop!” Freya screams, and my nostrils are filled with the heavenly scent from earlier.  I hear the front door open and Kieran stands in front of us. He doesn’t do a thing, “STOP HIM!” Freya shouts once again,  But Kieran holds his hands up to stop the guards. “They are Mates. Allow Him to complete his Marking!” He says and they all step back. It was like the speed of light, the only thing I felt was that he pushed me off the chair. I didn’t even feel the fall, he had his arm behind me to stop me from hitting the floor. All I saw was this black head of hair, on me almost ripping my shirt off, and moaning heavenly and sensual moans as he sank his teeth into my neck Marking me as his Mate.  Tears stream down my face. I can’t believe this is happening, and everyone is just standing there doing nothing. Moments later he pulls away, and lifts his head, he looks me deep in my eyes, and says the word I have been so anxious to hear my whole life… “Mate…”
