Chapter Seven
753 Words
Mate. “Mate." I muffled at the same time my wolf spoke.
I don't know how to react to either of them. Will I give my attention to my wolf or succumb to this mate trance? No matter what I chose, the latter was winning.
Our eyes were both glued to each other.
Though inches apart, I can feel his body heat stretching out towards me, closing the gap.
I flinched the moment he scanned his eyes all over my body then stared right back at me with a concerned look that I might've seen him flash for a second.
Yvonne's right, mates pull is something that cannot be taken lightly. I, who was normally composed was now barely making myself look unaffected.
I was disgusted at the fact that all the frustration and rage I was feeling before were now being alleviated. Although my wolf is pleased about this, I, on the other hand, feel it as no more than suffocation.
Even if other dispirited emotions were lifted, the pain remained as it is and it is far too great to be negated simply by a small temporary stupor such as mates.
After being preoccupied for a second by his presence and the wolf thing, I finally snap back to reality.
There's no way I'm gonna fall for this enchantment of mates, convincing myself as I regained my composure.
I turned my head to a man who entered the room vaguely covered with blood and slightly scruffy clothes.
“Jace, there you are. The boys were wondering where the alpha was since you suddenly disappeared like that.” He reported.
“A...lpha J-Jace..?" I stuttered.
Even though I've never seen his face, his name was known throughout packs.
Tales and praises about the notable alpha who at a young age converged all packs. He controls them all at will and keeps the peace between them which made him who he is now, a cold-blooded leader of the most affluent and powerful pack on the land.
Silver steel.
I felt my hand tremble as I clenched it into a fist. My eyes were becoming that of a wolf, darkening at the sight of the man in front of me.
All the bodies I've witnessed lying in cold blood came rushing into my mind.
Raul.
Yvonne.
Zeke.
This person killed them all.
He killed them.
All the overwhelming emotions that somehow built up made me forget I was ever destined with this man.
Never in my life, will I acknowledge this murderer as my mate.
Little by little, I felt my veins slowly becoming prominent. It was then that I knew that I was shifting. The change just started but it did not last long because my wolf made her way to the corner of my mind trying to get away from my reach.
She was foolish, I will never accept this man as anything.
The person next to him made his way in front of his alpha protecting him but the alpha shoved him and instead stepped forward unfazed by what I could do to him.
Instead of fear, he appeared confident. Probably thinking that I am not capable of hurting him and that just made me even more furious than ever.
I rush towards him, determined to end his life.
If I failed to kill him then I'm prepared to die.
This man who is supposed to be my other half stole everything that is left of me.
My claws were slightly let out and Its length was still enough to make a kill. I swung my arm hard, aiming for his neck.
Then I suddenly froze.
It was her.
You-
Sarah, please. Don't hurt him..!
Don't try to stop me! I lost everything this second time around and there is no way I'm doing nothing!
She didn't talk back and just continued restricting my movements.
I hate that I'm looking like a fool in front of the man who killed everyone important to me.
I was this close, this close to ripping his neck!
I screamed and cried because of the pain and rage that I was feeling. I keep trying to break free from my wolf's grasp on my body. The fact that I couldn't even make her follow me just made it clearer that I was too weak to even touch this man's hair.
While I was preoccupied, the person who protected him went behind me. He hit me on the lower back of my head knocking me unconscious.
