We ran for about six hours.
I was beyond exhausted. We had shifted to our wolf form only once but that was because we were trying to get out of another pack's territory before they found out.
We had ran like our lives depended on it. Well, it did.
"You said you made some arrangements. I'm tired, Felix!" I whined.
"I did. We just need to run a little bit more." He huffed. One look at him and you could tell that he was exhausted and so close to giving up.
He started to jog forward and I dragged my feet behind him. I saw a black shadow from the corner of my eye but thought it was nothing. I continued to walk until I was grabbed from my arm and pulled into someone's side.
"Felix!" I tried to scream out but it was muffled.
My wolf was on full alert and she tried to shift. But with the strong grip the person had on me, my wolf was struggling.
I mind linked Felix and that's when he turned around and saw. My eyes were wide open and tears formed in them.
Felix's eyes grew big and he took small steps closer.
"Helena, don't freak out. I'm right here!" He said through our mind link. My heart beat picked up and I stayed still in the persons' arms.
"Hey man, look. We were just simply passing by. We come in peace," Felix tried to explain.
I heard the person growl, and I shook in fear. I turned my head and saw the person had a hood on that covered his face.
The guy brought one hand up and removed the hood.
Felix gasped and started to laugh hysterically. I just looked at him like he was crazy.
"Felix, my man!" The guy said behind us. He had a very deep voice. He slowly let go of me and I ran to Felix.
I went behind his back and peaked from there. Felix took my hand in his and dragged me along with him.
"Don!" He chuckled.
They both gave each other a hug and a pat on the back. Felix pulled me forward and that's when I got a good look on this Don fellow.
He had the most mesmerizing eyes. They were a light ocean blue. He had a tan and well defined muscles. He looked quite handsome.
"This is my sister, Helena." Felix introduced us.
"Sorry if I gave you a little heartache. I wasn't trying to scare you." Don chuckled. I nodded my head at him.
"Are we already in Dark Moon territory?" Felix asked him. I gasped in shock. I've heard about Dark Moon territory. It had to be the biggest territory ever. With the strongest pack. The Alpha that had just taken over was young and extremely good looking. Well, that's what the rumors were about.
"Yeah, you did. You should've been happy I saw your happy ass jogging. Our trainers were doing their rounds and weren't expecting anyone. They would've attacked you guys." Don chuckled.
Felix smiled back at him.
"You ready to go?" Felix asked me.
They both looked at me, and I nodded my head.
"Thank you, Dom. This means the world to us. We'll just be staying for a while and then we'll be out of your way." I smiled at him in appreciation.
"No need to thank me, cutie. Your brother and I go way back. It's all I could do for a friend. Plus, the Alpha is my best friend. Hopefully, he'll understand and let you guys stay!" He smiled at me.
"I've heard Alpha Aaron is kind of rough and tough." Felix winced.
"He is, but nothing this beautiful young lady can't take care of!" Felix winked in my direction. He let out a growl and his eyes turned black.
"My sister will not do anything she doesn't want to. She will not persuade anyone!" He snapped.
Don smirked and raised his hands in surrender. "I was just playing. Chill!" He chuckled.
"Are you sure he'll be fine that we stay, Don?" I mumbled, feeling nervous.
"I'm pretty sure he will. Don't worry about it. I'll talk to him." He smiled.
We continued to walk to the pack house and once we arrived, a bunch of wolves snapped their head towards us.
"Move along. Nothing to see here. Keep going on with your duties!" Don waved his hand.
Don's wolf brought out this certain power.
"Felix, what's Don?" I asked him.
"As far as I know, I'm a guy!" Don chuckled.
"No no. That's not what I meant." I chuckled at him.
"I meant what's your position?" I asked him.
"Third in command." He stated proudly.
"You're really young." I commented. He tried to discreet and flexed his muscles. I giggled and shook my head.
"Anyways, where is Alpha Aaron?" Felix asked him.
"He's somewhere in the pack house. Why?" He replied.
"Does he know we've arrived?"
"Yes, I've informed him. He said he'll let you two settle in and then asked me if I could bring you guys down after." He replied.
We all walked inside the pack house and I could feel all the energy radiating off everyone.
We continued walking inside and soon reached the steps. I could see all the curious glances I was getting. I grabbed onto Felix's arm and looked down at my feet, as I was climbing up the stairs.
We suddenly stopped in front of a big door.
"I'll let you two freshen up. I'll come back in an hour with the Alpha so he can meet you two." Don said and with that he went back down the stairs.
Felix handed me my backpack and went to the other door. He opened the door slipped in, closing the door in the process.
I opened the door to the room I would be using and was amazing. It was a spacious room. With a king sized bed. It had s black comforter and a black canopy hanging over it. A dark grey carpet surrounded the bed and it led to another door.
What I realized was that it had a huge balcony. I opened one door to find out that there was a master washroom too.
I decided to take a shower, so I slipped out of the clothes I had and went inside the tub. The tub looked like it could fit over 10 people in it.
I pulled the curtain and turned the knob to warm. The water trickled down my back, erasing all the dirt from my body and removing all of the strained muscles. I heard a door opening so I peaked my head out of the curtain.
"Oh, it's you!" I sighed. Felix stood there with just a pair of shorts.
"I didn't hear anything, so I just came to check on you." He smile at me.
I turned off the water and quickly took a robe that was hanging by the tub. I wiped my body and placed the robe over my body and tied it. I put my hair in a bun and stepped out of the bathroom.
Felix sat there on the bed looking stressed.
"What happened?" I walked over to him and placed an arm over his shoulder.
He looked up and he looked stressed out.
"I should've been there when they forced you on dates." He whispered.
I ruffled up his hair.
"It's okay. I'm just glad I don't have to be there anymore." I smiled at him.
He stood up and wrapped his arms tightly around my waist.
We both heard a door slam and saw a very pissed off person. My eyebrows scrunched in confusion and I saw a huffing Don grabbing onto the guy's arm.
"Mine!" Is all the pissed off person said while stalking towards me.
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't deny it. My wolf was screaming only one word out.
Mate!
"Lily!" A voice shouted, pulling me from my sleep and forcing me to wake up."What?" I mumbled, hoping the person would shut up or just go away."You have to get dressed, I was ordered to have you ready an hour ago!" The voice exclaimed, running around the room and knocking things over in the process."By who?" I asked, opening my eyes slowly and letting them adjust to the light.Once I could see clearly, I noticed Rowena frantically moving around to get stuff in order. She held clothes in her hands and a few baskets were on the dresser. I sat up straight, yawning and trying to get myself together for her sake."Alpha Denver will have my head if you aren't downstairs in twenty minutes," Rowena yelled, throwing the clothes at me. "Here, put these on now!" She ordered, her yellow eyes expressing how scared out of her mind she is.Before I could ask her anything or even get another word out, she rushed out of the room. I like Rowena and watching her as a nervous wreck doesn't sit well wi
I woke up wrapped in the arms of another, their heat radiating off their skin and onto mine. I could feel their hot breath against the back of my exposed neck, sending chills throughout my entire body. My body was pressed tightly to theirs and the light struggle I made to move away caused a low growl to vibrate through their chest. As weird as it was for that person to make that type of sound in reaction to me moving away, it also made me feel strangely safe and warm. I slowly lifted my eyelids to take in the room around me. Darkness consumed every corner of the room, giving away nothing as to what's hiding within it. I cocked my head to the side in attempt to see the sleeping person beside me. Although the darkness hid the room, it couldn't hide the one man I've come to know oh so well over the past few days-Denver; my mate. Seeing him laying there so calm and innocent made my heart swoon for him, but I know that's not even close to the feelings I should be having. He's the man who
I can't take this anymore. I'm cut off from everyone and everything. I haven't seen Leon, he hasn't come down since before. People I don't know have been giving me food, dirty looks, then proceed to walk away. How could Denver run a place like this? You're not treated as an equal and I couldn't imagine staying in this pack. I miss my old pack, at least you were treated with respect- well, except for me of course.Why do I always have to be the person who gets crap all the time? I hate everyone and everything in this place! I must sound really whiny and over dramatic, but it's genuinely how I feel.I've been hurt so much over these past few days down here. Denver gave notice to some people that I am not in fact his 'true mate'. A guy I noticed from the meeting before came down to feed me and when I asked him about all of this, his only reply was that I've been rejected. It hurt like hell to hear that, but I guess I saw that one coming all along.I cried out as I banged my back against
I sat in the cell crying for hours. No one came around; no one checked on me. I was left all alone to sit there, crying over a man who I thought was supposed to love me. I hate to admit Timothy is right, but he is. He warned me this would happen, but I didn't listen. I hope he can forgive me, I want nothing more than to just go home.Sadly, my mate turned out to be crap. Denver thinks he can make me act and talk exactly how he wants. He thinks he controls me and that keeping me down here will give him more power. The truth is, it does. The longer I'm down here, the more broken I feel. I can't believe that my own mate played me. He talks down to me and has no care in the world for how I feel.This wasn't supposed to be like this, it was supposed to be magical. I was supposed to have a mate who would sweep me off my feet, love me no matter what and always take care of me. I guess you can't always get what you want and right now I'm not even sure I even know what I need.I just want to l
"Lily, is it true then? Did Alpha Denver leave Miss Winter for you; his mate?" Rowena questioned me with confused, grey eyes."Miss Winter?" I retorted, not at all recognizing the name."Winter, Alpha Denver fiance... The girl you just told off?" She asked, looking at me with a puzzled stare."Oh, that's her name? Well I've only ever heard of her, but I guess it makes sense..." I trailed off."Makes sense?" Rowena pressed, not liking my vague attitude.I shrugged my shoulders, not really liking the idea of going into details with her. "I don't know, it's just that with her kind of personality it's more than obvious why your Alpha left her."I know that Denver and I aren't in the best of places, but that chick is crazy! She got all worked up over the fact her Alpha found his mate. I know some people treasure power and all that, but to me it seems like a complete waste of time.Rowena's mouth dropped open at my words. Her eyes flickered to a pale shade of white, practically bugging out
LILYI stayed put in the room, afraid to go anywhere else and encounter strange and unfriendly people. I can't believe Denver just left like that, did I do something wrong? He's been gone for so long and I don't know if I should go search for him, or just hang out in here until he comes looking for me.It took me some time to calm down after everything that happened between us. I can't help but feel guilty; almost like it was all my fault he reacted that way. I'm just not ready to go that far with someone; mate or not. Denver's voice keeps replaying in my mind. Every time I shut my eyes, he's there in my head. All I see are his beautiful blue eyes gazing lovingly into mine, then switching back and forth to something entirely different. I need to see him, I need him to come back for me! I can't sit here and wait any longer. I can't just wait to see if he hates me or not; it's eating at me too much!"I'm sorry Madam, I didn't see you," A voice called from the other side of the room.I j
