Chase stared at me with his head tilted to the side, an adorable red shade basking his pale cheeks and he timidly nodded."Sure."I smiled and pulled my phone out of my pocket. I reached it out to him. He looked at me in confusion before realization dawned on him and he quickly grabbed the phone from my hand. I couldn't brush the sizzles of emotions that surged through me from the slight touch of our hands. I retracted my hand quickly and coughed to get rid of the hotness off my very visible flushed face.He typed and saved his number in my phone. We couldn't mind link due to him not being a werewolf, but I'd be able to once we mate and I mark him.My wolf purred at the thought of us mating and a low growl crossed out of her mouth from wanting to mark our mate as soon as possible.But I knew we had to take one step at a time, humans weren't attached that way to mates like we were. And I'd wait for him to finally open up, no matter how long it takes.Once I put my phone back in my pocket, I looked up to meet his eyes already staring at me. I smirked, causing him to divert his gaze, flustered.Goddess, he was adorable."I'll pick you up tomorrow at 5, does it sound good?" I asked.He met my gaze once more and gave me a rare, sweet smile. I noticed the slight dent on his right cheek. With that dimple, any girl would be all over him.Another growl got released by my wolf, this possessive bitch. But I knew I'd be tempted to rip out each pair of eyes that even dared to look him the wrong way.He seemed to be having a conflict in his mind sbout something, maybe didn't have the courage to speak out his thoughts. I raised my brows in a silent way of urging him to speak his mind. I wanted him to know he has nothing to fear when with me."Ca-can I maybe pick you up instead?"My heart fluttered, racing inside my chest and making me clench my fists to resist from jumping on him right then and there.I smiled in glee, nodding quickly. I have never smiled this much in a single day."Sure. I'll text you my address.""Don't you live in the pack house?" He questioned with furrowed brows."Not always. I have my own house." I informed and he nodded, understanding."Alright. I'll get going now." He said and looked down at the watch on his wrist, his eyes widening slightly as he swallowed. "I-it's late. Bye." With that he scurried away, leaving me without a chance to say goodbye.I could sense the nervousness and anxiety rolling off of him in waves. Being the Alpha and also a werewolf, we could sense our mates' emotions, after mating though, there would be no boundaries between our souls.Why did he seem so scared? It's not even an hour after school yet.I knew something was up and very, very wrong. My wolf seemed a bit agitated and kept whining in distress from our mate's evident morbid expression.But right mow, I have nothing to do. I'd have to ask him sometime though. I needed to know.•••°°°•••I decided to wear my favorite grey off shoulder top with stripped jeans, my hair pulled up in a pony tail. My excitement was overwhelming my senses as my wolf, Asia, was growing restless by the second."Calm down, girl. We're gonna get to him soon." I assured her and she puffed in annoyance then relaxed.As I sat outside on the lawn, waiting for my mate, suddenly flashes of pain littered my arms and I seethed, groaning as the pain felt like something slashing the skins of my arms open. I slowly regained my composure and realization hit me.It was my mate. He was hurting.My wolf growled, wanting to shred anything or anyone to pieces that had dared to hurt my love.I jumped on my feet, pacing back and forth. I dialed his number but it only kept ringing. He wasn't picking up, raging my panic and anxiety.My emotions were skyrocketing the more time passed by. Not being able to link him or reach out to him, my frustration grew.After about half past 5, I finally spotted his lean figure approaching the gates. I smiled in relief. I have already instructed the keepers to let him in so it was no problem when he gave his name and they let him in.He was a bit dull and eyes hollow but as soon as he looked up and met mine, his face brightened up. His smile was the single most intoxicating thing I've ever experienced and it made my heart race against time."Hey." He breathed out, he sounded a bit strained yet so hot.I quickly turned around and fanned my face to cool it down then turned back to him, showing him my biggest smiles, I doubt any of my pack memebers have seen it. Except for Aiden and Hannah maybe."Hi."I closely inspected his outfit.He was wearing a lime button down, a white jacket on and tight fitted jeans, accentuating the curves of his muscled thighs, Asia whined from the desire that wanted to claim him.He shifted uncomfortably under my gaze, but the tints of red on his cheeks made me smile even more."Sorry for being late." He mumbled and I was suddenly reminded of the pain on my arms.My eyes darkened in the slightest and I clasped my hands behind my back, which was my usual stance during the interrogations."Are you hurt?"My question paled him, the slight tremor of his hand didn't go unnoticed by me. He darted his gaze around then landed them me with a dreadful shadow over their beautiful blueness. My heart churned, my wolf was crawling around my mind's walls to come forward and comfort our mate."W-why would you think so?" He stuffed his hands in his pockets, kicking the invisible pebbles on the ground.I opened my mouth to say I felt it but decided against it. He might not be ready to share his abusive life yet and it'd only scare him off."Nothing. Shall we go now?"The paleness visibly disspitated and the smile returned, he shrugged his shoulders in relaxation.He battled something in his inner mind before slowly stretching his palm out toward me. I was literally floating on cloud nine.I gave him my hand and sparks flew, our hands fitted like puzzle pieces. His hand was a little larger and it perfectly wrapped around mine."Let's go." We walked outside the gates. The guards bowed at us and I nodded in return, Chase took me to his car which was a beat up old truck. But it seemed aesthetic. And it suited his personality quite well."My m-mom gifted it to me when I turned 17." He informed with a fond smile."She's gorgeous.""You like it?" His stormy eyes twinkled."Of course.""She's my everything." He replied bashfully and I felt a rock in my stomach.If a truck was his everything, then who was I?"You good?""Yeah." I let my poker face overtake and smiled quickly."Geez, you get jealous over a fucking truck? Pfft!"I rolled my eyes at my wolf's sassy remark.Chase politely held the passenger side door open for me and I hopped on. He closed it and jogged around to get in the driver's seat.When we were all buckled up, he turned the key and the truck roared to life, along with a huge bunch of smoke.He awkwardly smiled at me then sped up, and I chuckled.Anticipation to spend the day with my mate making me feel a different kind of exhiliration, that not even torturing the rogues could make me feel.•••°°°•••~Ⓖ︎Ⓔ︎Ⓣ︎ Ⓣ︎Ⓞ︎ Ⓚ︎Ⓝ︎Ⓞ︎Ⓦ︎ Ⓨ︎Ⓞ︎Ⓤ︎~He brought me to a cafe on the outskirts of my pack, which was the biggest, so it almost felt like we were on the country side.He parked his car near a cozy looking cafe. As I attempted to jump out, he raised a hand to stop me. I frowned but he only smiled in return and got out.I thought he was going to open my door for me but he walked inside the cafe.What was he doing? My confusion only hightened. But I waited patiently.After about 10 minutes, he walked out. I saw two parcel bags in his hands as he got back in the car."Aren't we going in there?" I asked.He smirked and turned the gear, swiveling the car backwards and we were back on the road."Date in a cafe is too common. So, I bought food for us, we'd go somewhere else." I nodded, pouting. Inside, I was swooning. He sure knew how to impress a girl.The drive to our next destination wasn't much longer. He parked along a dirted road and this time climbed out and held my door open for me. I cheeki
~Ⓗ︎Ⓘ︎Ⓢ︎ Ⓜ︎Ⓐ︎Ⓣ︎Ⓔ︎~Chase's car stopped outside the gates of my pack and we both got out.The night shivers ran down his body as he rubbed his palms together and blew out cold, whisps of breath. Werewolves didn't feel cold much, our bodies were naturally warm and produced warmth."You don't have to come along. It's cold, you should head back now." I said.He shook his head. I rolled my eyes at his stubborness, but still couldn't stop a smile from overtaking my face at the thought of him walking me home.I pulled my jacket off and swiftly placed it around his shoulders. He got startled a little from the sudden close proximity, smiling shyly to himself. "I-it's okay, you should-.""Keep it." I interrupted him. "I'm not cold anyway."From my peripheral vision, I noted how he sneakily took a whiff of my jacket, a soothing expression spreading across his face. My stomach did somersaults, realizing my mate liked my smell.Much to my dismay, we reached my house sooner than I'd liked. I turne
~Ⓑ︎Ⓤ︎Ⓣ︎Ⓣ︎Ⓔ︎Ⓡ︎Ⓒ︎Ⓤ︎Ⓟ︎~Walking out of my office, I noticed it was already 6 pm. A whole day went by without seeing our mate. But the good thing was, I didn't feel him hurt the whole day. So, it was a win.I pulled my phone out of my pocket to see 10 missed calls and 3 texts from the boy that consisted all of my heart and mind.Buttercup : Hey, didn't see you at class today. Are you okay? Sent: 12 pm.Yes, I saved his name under Buttercup because he smelled so much like butter and I couldn't get enough of this newly fermenting scent of my mate.Buttercup : Why aren't you picking up? I hope everything's alright. Sent: 3:10 pm.The last one was just a couple minutes ago.Buttercup : I'm really worried. Just lemme know if you're okay when you're free. Sent: 5:55 pm.Without furthermore thinking, I called him. He picked up on the second ring and my heart swelled from hearing his alluring voice."Hey! Is everything alright? I was so worried, you weren't picking up and we were supposed to meet
~Ⓐ︎Ⓢ︎Ⓘ︎Ⓐ︎~When I reached the border where I was supposed to meet Chase, I smelled him before I saw him. Salty sea breeze and melted buttery scent galloped my nostrills and I found him already standing there. Waiting for me.My heart thundered like a raging storm and warmth enveloped my whole being. My mate was eager and excited to meet me. Us.He didn't seem to have noticed me yet but as I got close to him him, he probably smelled me as well. His head whipped up at my direction and I felt my heart stop.He was smiling so big and innocent. There was honesty, excitement, affection the way he smiled. I felt a burn. My birthmark, located right on my collarbone, a shape of a crescent moon. It had never reacted, except for that one time when my mother was being dragged by those rogues. That horrible day imprinted in my mind still as clear as crystal. It had burned then, for the first and only time, till now, and all hell had broken loose. Yet, I couldn't protect or save my mom.But w
~Ⓛ︎Ⓔ︎Ⓐ︎Ⓥ︎Ⓘ︎Ⓝ︎Ⓖ︎~Running after a stressful day was the best. Not to mention the addition of my mate with me.Asia let out low howls at the glowing moon as she swiftly dodged each bumps and fallen branches to avoid letting Chase fall. His laughter vibrated through his chest pressed to her back, the happy sounds he made were a bliss to our ears.Finally worned out from the pleasing run, she stopped by a lake and flopped down. Chase got off and flopped by her, breathing a bit fast and chuckling freely. I have never seen him so light hearted before, it was refreshing."It was amazing. I loved it." He gushed, still smiling big, his adorable dimple creating a larger dent on his cheek.Asia grinned, nuzzling his side untill he overthrew an arm around her and leaned his head down. Both of us caught our breaths, anticipating the action, Chase softly and delicately pressed his lips on my, Asia's, head.I swore my heart felt like shaking with vibrations. Our bond pleasantly hummed and came alive
~Ⓝ︎Ⓘ︎Ⓖ︎Ⓗ︎Ⓣ︎ Ⓗ︎Ⓞ︎Ⓦ︎Ⓛ︎ Ⓟ︎Ⓐ︎Ⓒ︎Ⓚ︎~"You too, Rose."I guess breathing wasn't an option anymore.He called me by my fucking middle name!? How did he know it? Did he do research on me?Oh my Goddess! I was freaking out."I will." I croaked out. I never croak or stutter, but this boy, he was doing things to me. Good things.•••°°°•••Me : See ya next week. ;)Sending a text to Chase, I got my bag and sighed softly before leaving my room.Downstairs, everyone was waiting for me. I handed my bag to Jonas, one of the helpers, to put it in the car.Aiden, Drake, the Second Range warrior team and Hannah, we were heading for the Night Howl pack.While Jessie, the head of the First Range warriors team was staying here to protect the pack and train the new recruits.Aiden really wanted to stay since he has always trained the new ones, but as my Beta, I needed him there with me.Looking my way, they all bowed and I briefly returned the gesture, my hands behind."Since we'll be far from the territor
~Ⓑ︎Ⓤ︎Ⓡ︎Ⓝ︎~Burns.My arms, my back, my chest. My whole body was burning from pain flaring all over.Gasping for air, I jolted upright on the bed. Coughing, breathing harshly. Sweatbeads covered my head and my top stuck to my chest."Mate."Asia softly whimpered, cooing and crying in the far corner of my mind.My mind began to haywire and body trembled as I gripped the bedsheets tight in my fists."Chase. Chase. Chase. Chase."Without any sense of reality or my surroundings, I chanted his name. Again and again and again.It was like, someone was tearing my heart out of my ribcage in a palm then squeezing it."Audrey!" I heard someone call my name but it was just a ringing over the screams that tore out of my throat."Audrey, calm down! Take deep breaths. Come on, Aud!" The voice tried to coax me into reality but I was unable to grasp onto."Chase..." I continued.I felt someone touch my shoulders and jerked away, hating any touch that wasn't my mate's.My beautiful mate. My Chase."P
~Ⓐ︎Ⓝ︎ Ⓞ︎Ⓕ︎Ⓕ︎Ⓔ︎Ⓡ︎~"Happy birthday, Rose." "Thank you, momma!""Here."Mom pulled out a small box from her pocket and handed it to me. The box was wrapped in a little wolf printed paper. It made me smile.I giggled and hurriedly tore the paper to get to the box. I got it open and upon opening the lid, I gasped.A beautiful crescent moon shaped locket was in there. With a silver chain attached. The locket was turquoise color and there was some sort of glow shining within it. Almost making it magical."It's beautiful! Thank you, momma!" I beamed. "It's just like my birthmark."Mom's face held a warm smile as she nodded. She took the chain from me and gestured for me to turn around. I did and held my hair to the side as she put it on me, clasping the hook and turning me back.She softly wrung her finger through my hair, eyes scanning over my features then landing on the glowing locket on my neck."You're special, Rose." She whispered. "You're the Mark Bearer." I frowned, tilting my head
