ChapterMy eyes clenched shut in pain as my palms hit the ground painfully, but before my stomach could meet the same fate, something soft, and furry came in contact with my belly and my head hit something warm. My eyes were closed, my body was still in the taste of fear and panic. The realization of my body not hitting the ground, and my baby getting saved didn’t hit my mind. My mind was still in the moment when I was pushed harshly, to hurt me, to harm my baby. My grip around my savior tightened and I buried my face in the warmth, my tears soaking the fur, and the savior whined in distress under me, nudging me by their snout. My grip tightened even more when I heard men behind me growling in vengeance, pouncing on me to attack me. But I was gently placed on the ground, the weight shifting away from me as the wolf growled in anger, rage, and vehemence. My eyes snapped open when I heard the familiar growl, a lot more powerful, authoritative, and commanding. It was Theodore. The wol
I flushed red when my eyes fell on my soulmate, naked in his glory, smiling at me mischievously, no longer looking dangerous, angry, and blood-thirsty. The sudden change in his demeanor gave me a whim. I swallowed nervously when he took a step forward and I took several steps back. I made sure my eyes didn’t waver from his face. “Like what you see, sweetheart?” Theodore asked me, and I closed my eyes, turning around once again. But soon I was turned around by his warm hands, and he pried my hands away from my eyes. Much to my relief, he was wearing a pair of sweatpants, hanging low on his waist. “Nothing I have not seen before,” I said, rolling my eyes, trying to put on a strong face. Theodore raised his eyebrows up, encircling my waist as he pulled me closer to his chest, my fingers touching his naked shoulders, passing shivers down my spine. “Oh, so you have seen this before? Where, my love? I want to know the address.” He said sweetly, twirling a strand of my hair, and I closed
“I was thinking of marking you,” Theodore said, his words ringing in my head. Clothes fell from my arms as I stared at him in disbelief and shock. Fear coursed my veins at the mere thought of having his canines deep inside my skin, blood oozing out of my shoulders. My hands immediately went to caress my belly. “Hey, hey, stop panicking. I won’t do that without your consent. Come, you need to bathe first. And then we can talk about marking. It’s important, Serenity. With increasing danger, you need to be marked. I need to know where you are. To protect you, I need to be able to read your mind. If you are in any kind of danger, you should be able to communicate it to me. In one way or the other.” He said, gently tucking a strand of hair behind my ear, and I sucked in a breath. “Won’t it hurt me?” I asked him, looking at him silently, and he hummed, taking me inside the bathroom, and making me sit on the small perch as he dipped his palm in the water before turning the tap off. “If y
“Theodore,” “Mm?” Theodore hummed in response without looking up from the files he was holding. I don’t even know what Theodore works. How he manages his people. I barely know anything at all. But then again, I have just started knowing him. “A medical camp is getting organized for human beings today. I was thinking of helping Doctor Paul in taking samples, and examining the patients.” I said, and Theodore stopped working. His fingers ceased writing whatever he was writing giving me a bad vibe about it. When Theodore didn’t speak anything for a minute or more, I couldn’t help but think of the worst possible scenario my mind was weaving for me. I was expecting so many things in that one minute. After all the attacks and chaos that had happened in the past few days, I was expecting Theodore to stop me from working. I was ready to fight. My mind was already making up conversations. I was almost ready with a speech on how women need to work and no man can stop her until he nodded his
Theodore looked at me in silence, reading my eyes, trying to see for any sign of hesitation. But when he found none, he gripped my jaw, pressing his lips against mine, for a second blurring the world behind me. His soft lips were rough against mine. Moving with such a passion that I couldn’t help the warmth that kept pooling inside my gut. “Do you really want this, Serenity?” He asked me, his voice low and serious. I could feel him shaking. My heart wasn’t just affecting me but him as well. But his bare minimum concern and affection were making my heart warm. “Tell me, Serenity, do you really want me to mark you? I won’t mind waiting for some more time. Trust me.” He whispered against me, placing his forehead against mine, and I closed my eyes, smiling at him, shaking my head. “No, I want this. I… I don’t know how to say this, Theo, but the mere thought of delaying this marking is causing an ache in my chest. Please mark me. Or else I swear, I will end up marking you before you mar
Doctor Paul looked at me with amused eyes. While he was amused, others were shocked and they were looking too scared, and suddenly too alert. I could think of several reasons why everyone was looking at me differently. And the most fitting reason was the mark on my shoulder, glowing red, looking ferocious and wild. The claim that I was marked and Alpha King accepted me was proudly sitting on my right shoulder. Surprisingly it was looking good on me. I was never fond of tattoos but this was looked so beautiful. Though it was not a tattoo, it was still looking beautiful on my skin like it was meant to reign my body. “You are glowing today, Miss Knight. I believe the mark has to do something about it.” Doctor Murphy said as I helped other nurses in setting up the camp. Color rushed through my skin, and a blush spread my cheeks when everyone else looked at me silently but curiously. “Did the Alpha King really mark you?” One of the doctors, Amelia, asked me, touching my mark. Her eyes w
Alexander Woods was on the floor with my soulmate over him. Theodore’s arm was strangling his neck, his eyes were dark, as dark as they could have gotten. While the latter was struggling to breathe, my mate was angry. His body was shaking in anger. He was looking enraged, ready to lose control. His wolf was ready to take charge. “How dare you cross the boundary of my pack, get treatment from my soulmate, and try to harm her!? How fucking dare you touch her? She is my mate!” Theodore growled in anger, kicking him painfully in his gut, and Alexander curled in pain.“I won’t let you win again, Black! You won once! You killed Phoenix. I won’t let you win again!” Alexander weakly protested, and I saw Theodore’s eyes turn golden, flames of fire lurked in them, dangerously. "If I can kill Moon Goddess' son, Alexander, imagine what I would do with you for touching my mate! If I can kill Phoenix because he was proving to be a threat to the human race, imagine what I will do with you for har
Theodore walked inside his room with the first-aid box. His gray eyes were dark. He looked angry. But more than angry, he looked upset. I opened my mouth to speak, to apologize to him but nothing came out. I looked at him silently as he bent down in front of me, gently taking my arms to guide me on the bed. "Let me tend to your wounds." He said slowly, softly, and my heart broke into pieces when he started cleaning my cuts gently, not uttering anything else. A hiss escaped my mouth when the antiseptic met my open cut. And his concerned gaze looked up. Shaking his head, he blew on my cuts and scratches, making me shiver. "You are my Queen, Serenity. And I didn't appreciate you questioning my emotions for you just to make me do something." He said after a minute of cleaning my wounds. My heart started racing inside my chest when he looked up, his intense gaze making me swallow my spit harshly. He rubbed the insides of my wrist, looking at me without blinking his eyes. "I am sorry,
