Where have you been mate

Running through the woods Riana couldn’t control the tears that threaten to break loose, the raw emotions that flow through her were more than she could handle but she still wanted to hold on, she wanted to be strong and a part of her was fighting to let it all out. She kept running through a familiar path she has been there before more than she can count it has become her favorite place but each time it looks as enchanting as the first. This part of the wood has been deserted for a very long time since after the war between the shilan clan. From where she stood she could see the lake sparkle under the moonlight something she found exciting but not tonight she was hurting and she didn’t care if the sky was falling. It’s been two years since she had her first shift and she still hadn’t found her mate. It wasn’t supposed to be this bad except her younger sister iyaji has found her mate on her very first shift and there was a wedding going on back at the pack house f**k she has almost forgot about that but she didn’t mind she kept walking deep into the woods and suddenly stopped when she heard a loud cry for help. The day couldn’t get any worst she said as she tried to ignore the sound but she couldn’t move there was something in the air it was hypnotizing and she was immediately compelled to follow the sound. As she approached the scene the cry grew louder and from where she was there was no smell of blood so who ever it was couldn’t have been injured. She was beginning to panic as she got closer and then she stopped where she saw a masculine figure she stood frozen and then he turned and stare at her they locked gaze for a while and sparks ran down her spine Mate ! They both said Riana’s P.O.V I’ve been waiting for so long for my mate but I never expected to find him here but I could feel he was in pain I wonder what could be the cause. Was he also running from something? I wanted to just hold him and take all that pains from him, I wanted to protect him from whatever was after him but then I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard bones c***k f**k he was about to shift and from the pain he was going through it was his first shift. He turned to me and ask me to leave What! I couldn’t just leave I just met him how could I leave ? I don’t understand is he rejecting me? Too many thoughts ran through my mind and my vision got blurry No! I wasn’t leaving him I want to be here for him when he finally shift He kept looking at me with worried eyes somehow it didn’t seem like he was rejecting me it was more like he was scared of hurting me I took a few steps closer to where he was standing and I reached out to him in a warm hug that was the last thing I remember Stephen P.O.V I was taking a walk in the woods normally our pack were never allowed to go to these part of the woods but somehow I felt pulled in this direction. I was supposed to be at home and safe considering I could shift at any moment now but I didn’t want to sit and wait for when I’d turn wolf the need to discover was more than the need to be safe. As I walk through the woods I followed the most powerful scent And somehow it lead me to this place in the middle of nowhere and then I saw her the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen alone in the woods I’ve been behind her for a while but stopped when I started feeling these pains I knew I would shift. Suddenly the pains grew strong and so did the scent she was coming to me I could feel it and I didn’t want to hurt her I couldn’t control what was happening to me and she kept coming close Damn! She was beautiful. I didn’t want to cause any harm with my shift and I asked her to leave but she refuse I didn’t even want her to go but her safety mattered to me. She refused to leave and came to hug me and that single action could have destroyed me. Her powerful scent had me trapped I couldn’t let go I held on to her like my life depended on it and it did and just after I grew my wolf tooth I sank them deep in her neck where I marked her she let out a loud scream just before she passed out.
