On the run

Chapter 5

KAI

It couldn’t be. It just couldn’t. I stared at her naked form on the ground, everyone silent. My wolfs instinct was to cover our mate from the prying eyes of his pack and he had to fight the urge to run to her. The cursed child. How could she be his mate? I cleared my throat before walking over to her. His warriors had taken out the rest of the hunters. He will be in meeting for weeks about them crossing over to his territory. I scooped her up in my arms and looked over at Axel. He was tense and staring at me. “Get everyone back”, I whispered. Axel looked at me anxiously, “what do I tell them? I mean what does this mean alpha”? “Tell no one anything yet, get healer Douglas in my office now, then meet me there. Get Gamma Jason in my office as well, he needs to see this”. I trusted Axel to do as I said and keep everything under wraps for the time being. Axel turned and started issuing orders as the wolves slowly headed back. My skin was on fire having my mate so close. The urge to mark her near unbearable. The rain that seemed to come out of nowhere pounded the ground as I cradled her closer to my chest. I had no idea what I was going to do. The entire realm was looking for her, wanted her dead, including me. I walked back toward the pack-house It would take me a while to get there since she was unconscious so he couldn’t shift. I studied her. She was the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on. Her hair was long and curly, honey blonde with a slight purple tinge. To me it resembled a lion’s mane. Her eyebrows were slightly arched, I couldn’t see her eyes right now, but I knew they would be beautiful as well. She had high cheekbones that made her look even more feminine, although if the mutilated hunters were anything to go on, she was a force to be reckoned with. Her lips were plump and pink begging him to kiss them. I tried to keep my focus on her face and not her naked wet body plastered to me but the slight jolt from the mate bond made it impossible. She was perfect. Her body was toned and fit, giving her the perfect hourglass figure. I looked up. If I kept staring at her I would ravish her on the forest ground before she even woke up. I mean, wait what was I thinking? I couldn’t have her. Mate or not this could never happen. She was the enemy. My wolf growled in my head. He didn’t like the idea of never having his mate, he didn’t care who she was. I approached the pack house cautiously. I didn’t want anyone knowing she was here. I slipped in and scanned my surroundings. It looks as though Axel had sent everyone out of the pack-house to my relief. I carried her up the stairs to the first-floor office and entered. Douglas, Axel, and Jason were waiting for me. I sighed laying her down on the sofa in my office before looking around at them. Jason was my Gamma. The gammas job was to protect his Luna, never leave her side. He had to know who his mate was. “Healer Douglas, please check her out, nothing leaves this room.” Douglas nodded and went to her, covering her body with a sheet. “If I may ask alpha, why is she here? We can get in a lot of trouble for not reporting this”, Douglas said. I focused on her for a second. She had dried blood all over her from wounds that had healed. She has a small scar on her shoulder that had to have been done with wolfsbane if she didn’t heal. “Well, that is why you are here. It seems we have run into a problem. This monster is....”, I couldn’t say it. It would make it real. I will never have a mate. I would have to take a chosen mate and turn her in. My wolf snarled at me at the thought. “She’s his mate”, Axel said slowly. Jason physically cringed and looked over at her. He looked at me and nodded as he walked over to the couch and sat by her side. I felt pride for my gamma. He didn’t seem to care who she was. He would protect her with his life from this moment on. “She can’t be my mate...I have to reject her”, I said. They all looked at me with horror in their eyes. I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t stand in her presence anymore. I knew I had to do this but being in the same room with her, her intoxicating scent clouding my judgment. I had to leave. Think about it in the morning. I looked to Douglas. “Take care of her and make sure she doesn’t leave this room.” He nodded but didn’t say anything as he left to get medical supplies. I headed out of the room with Axel right behind me. Jason, stayed by her side, un-moving. I glanced at him, and he shrugged “Alpha this is my role, until you take another, I will protect her with my life.” Something in me felt better knowing she would be protected, even if I shook it out of my mind. I nodded and walked out the door. “Alpha, whatever you plan to do, just know, we are behind you”. With that, Axel walked down the stairs to his room. I sighed and walked up the stairs to the alpha’s quarters. I needed a shower and bed. I needed to not think about the sexy little thing laying on my office couch... I opened the door to my room and glanced at the giant bed. It looks so inviting with its silk sheets. I shook it off and went to the bathroom. I stripped my shorts off I had found waiting for me in my office and got into the scalding water. I couldn’t believe the moon goddess cursed me with her. They only get one mate. One person that is the other half of their soul and the moon goddess had made it impossible to be with her. I thought back to her naked flesh in my arms. The feeling of being so close to her but couldn’t claim her. I felt my erection growing harder and I couldn’t help myself. I fisted my c**k in my hand. I wondered what it would feel like to be deep inside of her, her screaming my name as f****d her into oblivion. I wondered what she would taste like, if her scent was anything to go off of, she would be sweet, delicious, I would lap at her juices until she couldn’t take anymore and came undone under me. Then I would slide into her sopping cunt and f**k her until she couldn’t walk, hitting every sweet spot marking her, making her his forever. I couldn’t take it anymore. I released all over the bathroom wall, not feeling any better. f**k. What was I going to do? I turned the shower off and wrapped myself in a fluffy robe. Once dry I didn’t bother with clothes, I went straight to my bed. I had a feeling one time wasn’t going to be enough tonight.
