Chapter 4
690 Words
Ethans' POV
I hate my self. I am so f*****g stupid! I attack her home, kill someone she clearly cared about, told her to reject our mate bond to save her people! Why couldn't I have just taken her into my arms and told her that I loved her?
Flashback*****
I smelt her sent before I saw her. The plan was to go to the Ocean Moon Clan and challenge their Alpha. Not start a war. But what did I do? Started a damn war! I could tell how he felt about her. I'm not sure how, but I knew he was searching for her.
MY mate.
Before I even realized what I was doing, I ran him through with my sword. My wolf was going crazy with excitement, making me grin like a psychopath. Then I smelled her sweet fragrance and turned towards her, still grinning.
Oh, s**t.
My wolf started to bang his head against a rock. Where the rock came from I'm not sure, but I definitely got the point.
His thirst for blood was going to cost us.
I walked up to her confidently. She had sunk to her knees and sat on her plump, round, bottom, hugging her knees to her chest. She had tears streaming down her face. When I kneeled in front of her, she started sobbing. I leaned forwards and whispered to her,
"Reject the mate bond and I will spare the rest of them."
What the hell? What is wrong with us? Just making it worse, aren't I?
I spoke to my wolf while the girl in front of me began speaking the words.
Yea dumb a*s, now she's really gonna hate us. He growled.
I felt it when she finished speaking the rejection words. My chest was aching. I only nodded my head to her and stood up calling my men to me. I never accepted her rejection. The bond was still there, but weak between us. Hopefully, we never saw each other again because if we do, it will come back. And I am almost positive that she would never want that.
End Flashback***
I was sitting in my office, working on some paperwork when my beta mind linked that he had something important to share with me. I left the office and met him outside. He was standing at the edge of the forest looking out.
"Alpha, I smelt an unfamiliar wolf roaming around our land. It's female. Not rogue though."
I nodded and sniffed at the air. I smell her?
What the f**k? How can we smell her, she doesn't even live near here!
My wolf was going insane. If you thought only dogs chased their tails, you were wrong. He went in so many circles that he collapsed.
I rolled my eyes internally. I undressed and shifted into my wolf form tracking the smell of ocean air and honeysuckle. I followed her to a ridge where she was stalking her prey.
My pack is close to the mountains and we have problems with mountain lions. She was stalking one. She crouched down in the brush after she had previously rolled in some mud to mask her scent. The mountain lion still hadn't realized that she was behind him. She moved forwards, still crouched and before she could attack, the beast turned around and growled at her. She growled back and attacked.
The poor lion never stood a chance. She had him down within minutes.
I moved backward away from her, about to head back to the pack and assure my beta that the intruder was just passing through when I stepped on a twig. Her head snapped towards my direction and I hid below the bushes hoping she didn't see me. She went back to eating her freshly caught meal and I quietly made my way back to my pack.
Later that night when I went to bed, I lay there thinking.
I am going to go back. I am going to tell her how I really feel and I am going to make her MINE. She will become my Luna. Willingly or by force.
