War, Heartache, and Love

Chapter 3

    Once we got to the General's office doors I instantly smelt apple cinnamon with a hint of forest pine. It smelt so heavenly I was so pulled to the smell that once I walked into the office room and I was instantly met with a huge man that towered over me. Once I looked up into his deep dark brown eyes that almost looked black he muttered at me     "Mine." I was so shocked that this was happening I instantly back speechless and could not respond. I only turned 18 recently and already meeting my mate. “You are not going to say anything to me" he spoked but all I could do was stare at him which he was looking at every inch of me to see if he was satisfied with my appearance. So I finally mustered out "Who are you? Where did you come from?" I then looked to my brother in hopes he would help me. My brother just had a dumbfounded look in shock that this was happening.

    "My name is Michael Lenux. I come from a unique Pack that I do not see eye to eye with and wanted to come here to help in The Generals missions," he answered me while turning around to the general and to my brother.

    “You were supposed to come tomorrow why did you show up a day early?" The general said.

    "Things fell through last minute so nothing was holding me back to leave. So I left and came straight here. I hope that is okay?" Michael said in response.

    I was looking over at my brother to try and get a reading off of him on what he thought of Michael but even his expression was blank.

    "Mate! Hmm... “-Lilly-My wolf inside me was purring.

     "Settle down. He doesn't seem to be too keen on us. He thinks we are too small I think."-Kyra-

    "It doesn't matter we are mates he has to accept us." Lilly snapped at me.

    I looked over at my brother who was giving a weird look so I linked him while the General and Michael were still talking about stuff.

    "What is it brother?"-Kyra

    "Honestly never gave it thought about you ending up being someone's mate."-Josh-

    “I have and I have my concerns"-Kyra-

    I looked back at my mate, while my lovely wolf inside of me was longing for him. My body was feeling so much desire for him. I wonder if he feels the same.

        "I will help with tomorrow no problem. I will go with my mate to school." My mate replied to The General, which snapped me back into reality from my thought. Wait a minute why is he stepping in so quickly. When Michael turned around to look at me, I didn't realize I had a slight expression of concern on my face. He looked into my eyes deeply which was adding to my want for him even more. I was getting so frustrated with my body.

        "But I want my mate not to involve with all this. I don't want her in any danger." Michael added but made me more irate.

        "Wait a minute, this is my concern and problem. I am not being put on the sidelines just because my mate just showed up. I was trained for this." I replied with much attitude in my tone, I actually didn't expect it to come out that way. The expression on Mates face was a lot of anger but our eye contact did not budge. Before anyone spoke. He took only two big steps to me picked me up and threw me over his shoulders. When this man touched my whole body felt nothing but sparks. This made it so hard to fight back and take control of the matter but before I knew it I was already outside and approaching the parking lot.

        "What are you doing?" I said in a calming tone.

        "Wait! I need to figure out what I am supposed to be doing tomorrow." I said with a concern of being distracted from this mission.

        He set me back to the ground on my feet, then cupped my cheeks with both his hands. While he looked into my eyes I could feel the lust in my body wanting to take control. Then he said "I will take care of it all. Plus if you weren't talking with your wolf and brother you would know what is going on." And just like that my attitude came back.

        "Excuse me, I am no damsel in distress. I can handle myself." I said to him as his eyes softened a little.

        "That is not what I am saying. I know you can take care of yourself. I can feel and see the power in you but I cannot risk losing you. Once we mark each other our bond will become stronger, then you will understand." He said while his eyes started to lower.

        “What is wrong?" Is all I can say. All my anger disappeared since I could see he was slightly sad.

        "That story is for another day. I would really much appreciate it if we could go for a drive please." My mate said, which took me back instantly since a different side of him was coming through.

        "Okay," I said while turning around to open the door but he grabbed my hand before I could open it.

"I'll open it." He said I felt like I needed to respond by saying I am grown but also was extremely taken back and my heart was fluttering by how much of a gentleman he was being. So I decided just to nod my head in compliance. He opened the door as I sat in the passenger seat. While he was walking around to the driver's seat I looked back at the building I saw my brother outside staring at me with worry.

        "I am okay brother, I believe he means well."-Kyra-

        "He better. I don't care if he is your mate, I will destroy him if he hurts you in any way.”-Josh-

        I smiled, for some reason, I loved that my brother was protective because it made me think of mom and dad so much. I miss them dearly. I knew my mate got in the car and started the car, but I feel him staring at me so I looked at him knowing he wasn't going to go anywhere till I did.

        "Yes," I said with the smile from my brother still on my face.

        “I absolutely love your smile," he said. Which instantly took the smile away and puts a concerned look on my face.

        "Really?" I replied.

        "Definitely it makes my wolf tremble inside Me." mate respond with which made my wolf quiver more for him. My cheeks turn slightly flushed from list wanting to take over. "Let’s go little wolf." which made the purr more intense. So I closed my eyes to get my body under control.

        "It's okay, I know you desire me. You don't have to control it, I will not force you until you are ready." My mate said which made my eyes pop right open.

        "Really?" I said again.

        "Didn't your father teach you how a man should be treating you." which almost put tears to my eyes, which he instantly saw.

        "I don't want to talk about him." I snipped. I guess I wasn’t quite over my parent’s death but honestly he is right. He never did, he was too busy teaching me to be a worrier. I never got compliments from him other than the typical fight-related ones. I turned my head out the window as we were driving away. I stared at my brother as he lit a smile on my face which made me feel better.
