I knew she was staring. I could feel her eyes on me, like a burning sensation wherever her eyes went. Those big green eyes staring at me. I wanted to turn to her, I wanted to ask her for my forgiveness of not being able to claim her yet. My mission wasn’t done. My wolf was pacing in my head begging me to go to our mate. When she turned towards her brother, I could see they were having a silent conversation. His eyes would glaze over, but hers. They stayed trained on him, I saw her ears move just a fraction. A trait she will never be able to break from being in her wolf form. She was listening, waiting. I had also noticed while she was eating, she had did this thing where she would pick up a tiny spoonful eat just that. Wait for a couple of minutes then continue eating. She did with this with every new thing brought to her. When she started talking to Chris, the Beta, about someone training her. I was taken aback by her voice. It was like light bells in the wind, I could get used to that.
And she is all ours. Kent, my wolf, said to me.
Not yet, our mission isn’t done. I said to him, I knew I wouldn’t last long alone with her. I couldn’t forget though, we couldn’t stop from avenging our lost Luna. Then again, I knew that she would want us to be happy. We had talked about second chances if we lost each other. I had always said if I was to go before her, she was to not give up. She needed to find another love. She had agreed. Her dying last wish to me was the same.
‘Promise me Kane, promise if the Moon Goddess gives you a second chance.’ She coughs, ‘promise me you will take it.’ She coughed again. Holding her in my arms, watching my mate die in my arms. The pain of having my heart ripped out in front of me. ‘I promise my love, I will.’ I choked out before she took her last breath. The pain was so unbearable I let out a roar. My mate was dead. After she died, Kent and I went feral. We had so much blood shed on our land, I ripped through those rogues. When the fight was done. I ran, I ran so far away. I was gone for months. I sent messages to my Beta making sure he kept everything in check. That fateful night of catching the scent of lilies, the sweet blossom of such a smell. I ran towards it, I almost took her there. Almost distracted her, I watched her running form. She was going fast, she was such a beautiful she-wolf. Pure white, with a golden chest. White Rock pack, my second chance. That was when I caught the scent of death, rogues were chasing my mate. We can’t interfere. I let out a howl which made the rogues stop, but she kept running. I saw her leap for the running stream and disappear. She is safe, time for my own hunt.
I came back when she grabbed her neck, where my mark would eventually go. She looked lost, almost pained looking. She was good at hiding it, but I saw it. I saw the green in her eyes fade a little.
Something happened to her out there Kane. Kent said to me, he wasn’t wrong something did, and I planned to find out what it was. When I heard her say something about training with Chris I chimed in. I wouldn’t let another unmated wolf around my little mate.
‘I’ll be there are well.’ I said, she looked at me and nodded. She said her farewells, bowed and walked away. Watching her walk away from the table, I watched how her bottom swayed in that dress, how elegant she looked. Oh how I would love to have her on her belly, while I look at that back while taking her from behind. Hearing her moan out my name, as I would dig my fingers into her sides. Her father addressed me, bringing me back to reality.
‘Kane, have you heard anymore news on the Rogue King? We had Intel he was out near the western border, but when we looked there, there was only a rogue shredded, dead probably a month. There was signs a captive was held there, but that was all we found. I feel bad for whoever was there with them, the torture chamber was….’ He stopped, he was visibly shaken.
‘I will go out there with a tracker, see if we can find anything else out.’ I said to him, we will find this king, and we will give him what he craves. Death.
My body was humming, I wanted to seek out my mate. I wanted to talk to her, I wanted to know what happened. I also wanted to make her mine, I wanted to feel her naked body below mine, to feel the heat coming off of her knowing it was me making her heat the way she was. As I said my farewells and headed to my room, I wanted to take the long way around to see if I could catch her scent one more time before I went to bed. I started my way near her hallway, as a loud scream broke through the silence. I froze, getting into a battle stance to fight whoever was hurting a female. I heard a whimper again as I drew near my mates door.
‘You will never have me’ I heard her say, I stood there shocked. Did I just hear that right, she wouldn’t let someone have her. Was someone trying to be with my little mate! I crept closer to her door, as another whimper escaped my mates mouth. I opened her door, to see her thrashing around. She let out another high pitch scream. A nightmare had ahold of her. I closed her door, and walked to her side. I kneeled by her bed. Placing my hand on her feverish head.
‘Little one, you must wake up, come back to the real world’ I said to her as I tried to soothe her.
‘Come little one, open your eyes’ she stopped thrashing, and whimpered yet again.
‘Raylee, you are safe and no one is going to hurt you here.’ I whispered to her, as a last ditch effort before I shook her awake. Her eyes slowly opened, her heart beat picking up, her breathing shallow. She jumped, and rolled away, getting in a stance ready to shift. I stared at her, oh my poor little mate. What has happened to you.
As I waited for her to catch her breath and for her to calm down, I could her take a very large breath of air. Her breath hitched again. Ah, I see I have the same effect on you. She slowly came out of her crouched stance into a sitting position.
‘What are you doing in here Alpha.’ She asked me, those big green eyes going dull.
‘I heard you screaming, I thought someone was trying to claim what was mine’ I said.
‘So you came in here to save a damsel in distress? Well I will have you know sir, I can take care of myself.’ She retorted, clear anger in her voice.
‘What happened?’ I asked her, wanting to protect her anyway that I can.
She stared at me thinking about her next words.
‘Nothing, it was just a nightmare. I’m fine now, thank you for asking’ she said with a small smile on her face. I knew she was lying, but I would let it go.
‘Is there anything else?’ she asked, looking at me.
‘Actually there is, we need to talk.’ I said watching her relax further. I reached toward her slowly, and moved the hair from her face, cupping her cheek.
‘I can’t have you as my mate.’ I said looking down, then looking back at her. Before I could continue, her eyes shone with anger.
‘Leave, get out of my room. Leave. Now.’ She said. She pushed my hand away from her face and stood up off the bed. She walked to her door, and opened it gesturing me out. I stood up from where I was at and walked towards the door. I stopped at the entrance and turned towards her. I grabbed her face and pressed my mouth to her lips, which were as soft as I had dreamed them to be. I felt her hand clutch my teeshirt, as I tried deepening the kiss. I felt her unclench my teeshirt, and push against my chest, I released her and took a step back.
‘For someone who doesn’t want me, sure couldn’t contain himself from kissing me. I’ll ask again, if you don’t I will remove you myself. Get. Out. Of. My. Room.’ She said
‘You misunderstood, but I will take my leave, see you in the morning, Ray.’ I said as I left the room. I will get her to listen to me. I will also get her to understand what I mean as well. I walked towards my room, I needed a cold shower, and I needed to sleep before training with my little mate.
