'Idiot, do something. Its our mate!' My wolf screamed at me.
But, all I did was just stand like an idiot.
"Mine!" He growled again. He stopped a couple of centimeters away from my face and I felt someone grab my hand.
I looked down and saw Felix's hand wrapped around my wrist. I was roughly pushed behind him and his hand stayed on my wrist.
Both men were growling at each other and Dom looked like he was going to pass out.
"Let her go!" I heard the guy growl.
"Aaron, calm down man!" Don huffed.
"Don't fucking tell me to calm down!" The guy, Aaron, yelled at Don.
Don jumped from the yell and bowed his head. Aaron came to face my brother, and pushed him roughly to the side.
"Felix!" I yelled out. I ran over to where he had landed. There was a big gash across his forehead.
"Oh my God! Felix, are you okay?" I whispered to him.
"Why the hell are you asking him if he's okay?" Aaron snapped.
"Because he's my damn brother!" I screamed at him. His face softened just a tiny bit.
"Helena, don't worry about it." Felix coughed out. I held onto his arm, while he struggled to get up.
"It's good that you're healing because I was scared shit less." I told him.
I could here a growl come from Aaron, and I didn't even spare him a glance. Felix and I both walked into the bathroom and I slammed the door shut.
"Get out here right now!" I heard him roar.
"Aaron, you got to calm down!" Don told him.
"She's in the fucking bathroom—with another guy. Don't fucking tell me to calm down!" He yelled.
I was fuming with anger. I stalked over to the door and threw it open.
"What the hell is wrong with you, huh? You threw my brother across the room. He's healing but I still have to clean up his wound. He's my fucking brother, God dammit!" I screamed in his face.
I could tell that he was shocked by the way he kept opening and closing his mouth. And the way he kept rapidly blinking his eyes.
He quickly composed himself and his eyes flashed to a dark color. He stepped closer to me and stopped when he was an inch away from my face.
Felix started to growl but Don placed his hand on Felix's hand, keeping him in place. Felix snapped his teeth at Don, but Don looked unfazed.
"I dare you to say that again." Aaron challenged in his alpha voice. It made me want to obey to him and keep my mouth shut. But, my brain wanted something else.
I stepped closer to him until my forehead was basically smashed against his chest. He was a good foot and a half taller than me.
I lifted my head and squinted my eyebrows. My lips twitched into a smirk once I saw the surprised look he gave me.
"He's my brother. You shouldn't worry about it anyways. What I do isn't any of your business."
His eyes flashed black again and he glared at me. I just stared back at him with a smirk playing on my lips.
"Leave!" He growled.
I stepped back but was grabbed by the waist.
"You told me to leave. Let go!" I snapped at him.
He didn't even budge and his arm tightened on my waist. He turned his eyes and glared at Don and Felix
"Leave!" He snarled.
"Yes, Alpha." Don obeyed.
Don took Felix's arm and started to walk but Felix wouldn't budge. His eyes flashed a bright yellow, and I knew his wolf wanted out.
"I said leave!" Aaron snapped again.
"I'm not leaving my sister with you!" Felix snarled at him. He walked over to us and grabbed my hand, ripping me away from Aaron.
My wolf immediately whimpered. I knew my wolf was enjoying this a bit too much. I was pushed behind Felix yet again. And placed my arm on his shoulder.
'Calm down, Felix.' I said through our mind link.
Both men were breathing hard and Don grabbed my arm.
"You both need to calm down," Don chimed in.
"Are you talking to your Alpha like that?" Aaron questioned.
"Dude, I'm one of your best friends. Cut the crap!" Don rolled his eyes.
Aaron chuckled. He actually chuckled instead of flipping out.
"Don, I really appreciate you letting us stay here. But, we might just leave now." Felix huffed out.
"No!" I screamed out as Aaron screamed out the same time.
Don was smirking at us and Felix just raised his eyebrows. I was blushing furiously but Aaron looked furious.
"You two belong to this pack now," Aaron announced.
"No, we do not. We'll take your leave, Alpha." Felix said through gritted teeth. He took my wrist and placed my backpack on his shoulders.
I turned around and saw Don holding onto Aaron's arms.
I was yanked forward and we started to walk down the stairs.
"I think we—" But I wasn't able to finish.
"We are not staying here, Helena. I don't care if you want too. I am your brother, you need to listen to me." I jumped from his sudden outburst, and decided against saying anything back to him.
I looked down and noticed that I was still in my bathrobe. Felix tightened his hold onto my arm and his claws dug into my wrist. We continued our way down the stairs and finally arrived at the living room, which was full with pack members.
I kept my gaze down and Felix continued to drag me behind him. He turned the knob and stepped outside. He abruptly stopped which made me slam into his back.
I look up and noticed why he had stopped. There were more than fifty wolves out in the front, blocking the trail to the woods.
"Stay behind me!" Felix ordered.
"Alpha, I'd really appreciate if you let my sister and I cross your territory." Felix's voice was strained.
I heard a deep growl and the biggest wolf approached us. The wolf was pitch black and gave off the most intense power. His eyes were focused completely on me and I cowered behind Felix even more. I saw something move from the corner of my eye and turned to look.
Don was charging full speed towards us and before I could have said anything, he ran and tackled Felix to the floor.
"Felix!" I screamed. I tried to run towards Felix and Don but a paw slipped around my waist.
I looked to the side and saw Aaron's wolf. Being close made me realize how huge he really was. Even his wolf was towering my height.
From far away his eyes looked pitch black, but being close, they were a really dark shade of grey.
I placed my hand on his paw and tried to push it away. But it tightened harder around my waist.
"Let go!" I screamed.
I saw Don and Felix still on the floor. Felix was underneath Don and they were talking, more like growling at each other. I kept struggling in Aaron's hold, but he looked unfazed. I saw the faintest smile tugging on the ends of his mouth. I turned my head, and saw Don and Felix making their way towards us.
I tried to pull away from Aaron's hold, but he just tightened his hold even more. My wolf was howling in joy but I wanted to see if my brother was okay.
Felix walked over to me and placed his hand on my cheek.
Aaron snapped his teeth which made Felix pull his hand away. He let out a chuckle and smiled warmly at me.
"Now I know why you wanted to stay. Why didn't you tell me Alpha Aaron was your mate?" Felix asked me, raising his brows.
My eyes widened, and I saw Don smirking at us.
"Because I just found out like 5 minutes ago!" I stuttered back.
"I'm so happy for you." He grinned at me. He tried to wrap his arms around me for a hug but Aaron pulled me away from him.
I turned my head and glared at him.
He just looked back at me with his dark grey orbs.
"Come on, Felix. Let's leave the two alone. I'll have one of the pack members cook something for you." Don smiled at my brother.
Felix smiled back and then waved at us.
I was finally out of Aaron's hold, and I pushed myself off of him. I saw him turn around and look at his members. He probably send them a mind link because when he turned back to look at me, all his members ran off to the pack house. He stalked towards me like a predator stalking towards its prey. I kept walking backwards and I tripped over a tree branch. And was almost going to make contact with the ground but was quickly caught and held by Aaron's paw being placed on my lower back.
He steadied me before nuzzling his nose on my neck. I held back a moan and a growl escaped my lips. His teeth grazed my neck and he clamped down on my robe.
He swiftly picked me up and I didn't realize until I was on his back. I held onto his soft fur while he made his way up the stairs.
I saw all the dirty looks I was receiving from the other female in the house. But I also saw the smirks thrown our way. He pushed the door open with his head and he climbed the bed. He tossed me on the bed and I quickly slid inside the blanket. He cocked his head to the side and just looked at me. I cowered beneath the blanket. Even though he was my mate, I still was a little frightened.
My thoughts were so distracted that I didn't realize he had shifted back to human form and had slipped on some shorts. He climbed on the bed and his body hovered above me.
A squeal escaped my lips when he grazed his teeth against my neck yet again. He pressed soft kisses on my neck and as much as I was trying to control it, a moan escaped my lips.
I felt him smile against my neck and I squirmed underneath him. He lifted his head and a smirk played on his lip.
He lowered his head and went back to kissing my neck. And I felt him lick a spot on my neck and his teeth grazing against it.
My eyes widened.
"No, no, no!" I chanted. I pushed his bare chest and he lifted his head.
His eyes changed to a pitch black and his cheeks were tinted red.
"What?" He cocked his head to the side in confusion.
"I'm. . .I'm not ready." I whispered. I blushed a dark red and lowered my eyes.
After a couple of seconds of silence I looked up to see Aaron looking down at me, his face held the sadness and frustration.
"Go change out of the robe so we can leave to my house." He mumbled to me.
He swiftly got off of me and walked out of the room. He quietly shut the door.
I pulled the covers off of me and walked slowly towards the closet. Inside I found a pair of sweats and a hoodie.
I slowly slid off the robe. My mind kept replaying the rejected face my mate had thrown at me.
"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
