Jacob POV - One Week Before
I woke up full of pain.
It takes me a few minutes to remember everything and regain all my abilities.
As soon as I regain my senses, in their fullness, I am assaulted by the sweet smell of jasmine. My body reacts immediately as if a breath of energy has penetrated me. I realized I was still lying down on land and quickly got up.
Sitting next to me is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.
She has a small, slender body, and brown hair with shining silver streaks that seem to match her bright gray eyes.
Her body seemed to have something circulating around it, like a bright aura full of beautiful colors.
I heard her laughing and looking at me curiously. My smile finds a way to show, despite physical pain.
"You are a sexy and hot werewolf." I can feel some admiration in her words. I find her gray eyes and a mischievous smile appears on her face.
For moments I forgot the pain I was feeling.
Her eyes roam over my naked body like I was prey, her prey, but in the most luxurious sense.
"You're a horny one too." I was lost in her amused face, feeling sparkles all over my body.
I hear small giggles, as she looks at me and notices the physical effects that are starting to be noticed, just down there, between my legs. My face turns red and I smile at her, shrugging my shoulders. I´m really aroused.
"Mate!" I mutter, entranced by the perfection that she is.
She likes what she sees. Take her. She is ours! Kael, demanded impatiently.
I took a few steps forward to get close to her. We face each other with so many emotions running through our eyes.
My torso bends a little. My nose approaches her hair, inhaling her scent, with deep breaths.
Maybe it was an extreme emotion, but my body, to my astonishment, weakened. I fell to my knees, feeling intense pain.
"You're too hurt and I can't heal you", the smile is now replaced by a look of concern. "I cannot heal you because the rocks had some magic in them. You must leave to find medical attention!" She murmurs in a sweet and sad voice. Her voice relieves a little of the pain I feel. But I don´t want to leave. Not now. I want to be with her!
"Don't worry, we'll meet again as soon as you heal." She says as if she could hear our thoughts.
She bends down, looking at me intently, as her eyes seem to sparkle at me, offering me a tender smile that warms my heart.
Her arm gently moves away from her body, she closes her hand in a smooth, perfect motion. When her hand opens, a butterfly with shining pink and purple wings emerges. The butterfly looked at me, landing lightly on my forehead as if she was kissing it. The butterfly touch almost takes me to ecstasy. Sparkles flow in my veins.
"Think of one of the borders of your Pack, one where you know they'll find you. Just focus on that, please." She asks with a smile. My mind automatically reacts as if working involuntarily. I can see one of my Pack´s borders appearing in my mind, one that has patrolling teams passing by all the time. I close my eyes, not quite understanding how or why, and when I opened them, I'm at the border. I´m in shock. My mate is not here... I´m too weak, in so much pain, but I try to hold on. I kept replaying her words in my heart "Don't worry, we'll meet again as soon as you retreat."
One of the patrols finds me a short time later and takes me to Pack Hospital.
I didn't say anything to anyone about what happened. No one would believe in me. If I doubt it, imagine others.
I recovered and the next day I ran to the border. On the border, there is a small meadow where I saw countless bright butterflies, just like the one that landed on my forehead the day before.
I decided to follow them. A few minutes later, I started to recognize that intoxicating scent in the air. The one who controls me, my mate's scent! I follow it as if I´m in some kind of enchantment. Finally, I found the source. My mate! The rest of the world doesn´t exist anymore, nothing else matters. It´s just her and me. Us!
I can see how her body is dancing among flowers, which are not on the ground, but in the air. A beautiful sight!
I slowed down my steps and approached her. My brown eyes are locked in her shining gray eyes.
"Mate! Mine!" Kael screams at the same time as I do.
"Yours!" She says, as she stops dancing, and looks at me with the sweetest, tenderest smile I've ever seen in my entire life.
Since that day, whenever I see the shining butterflies in the meadow, I follow them. They lead the way to my mate. To my butterfly!
Jacob POV - Today
I told my brother how I had found her. Of course, I didn't tell the whole story, even because it's not mine to tell. There is so much more than this...
If my brother dreams of how messed up my situation is, he'll combust. For the moment, the best for him is to focus on his. He doesn´t need my problems worrying him either. I just want him happy!
I'll try to talk to my butterfly, my mate, and see if she can help us. I hope she doesn't get angry about it. When she gets angry, there's no stone, leaf, or plant that doesn't move against me. It's as if nature around us has gone from order to chaos, just like her emotions, with me as a target. Oh no! I must not anger her! Let's hope she doesn't get upset. I internally pray for that. And I really hope she can help Lucas. Now that I know how it is to have a mate, I only wish the same for him.
I can see Aric's fury through Lucas's eyes.
"A mate is a special moment in our lives! How come you didn't tell me?" Lucas yells at me. I blink at him, and i use all my strength not to shake. Let´s say that between my brother and my mate, I don't know who scares me more.
"Lucas, it´s not the time for this. Let me go and talk to her, please! Maybe she can help!" I asked, manipulating him to think about his mess and not mine.
" OK." He responds, looking up at the sky and sighing in sadness.
