~Ⓐ︎Ⓢ︎Ⓘ︎Ⓐ︎~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
~Ⓣ︎Ⓗ︎Ⓔ︎ Ⓑ︎Ⓤ︎Ⓡ︎Ⓝ︎Ⓢ︎??~The drive back to my pack was way too long. Well, it felt like it. For me.You're probably wondering what happened to the fight and the rogues and Gordon?Well, the fight didn't take place. After realizing how big of a douche and asshole he was, more than I thought, I sided with the rogues and offered them a chance to merge with my pack.Become the Moon Knights. They happily agreed.The leader, named Gray, signed some papers that were managed on point, and sealed the contract regarding my rules.Gordon was severed from any alliance from our pack and my father was also informed on the matter. Thankfully, he was more than okay with my decision.Witnessing the Alpha's cruelty with plain eyes, even some of the Night Howlers decided to join me.Now, all of us were heading back. In a week's time, during the full moon, the ceremony would take place and they'd become the Knights.On the other hand, I just couldn't wait to go back to my mate. We took off just after the su
~Ⓑ︎Ⓡ︎Ⓔ︎Ⓐ︎Ⓚ︎-Ⓓ︎Ⓞ︎Ⓦ︎Ⓝ︎~"Well, it's yours too, from now on."Chase's head whipped toward me in shock, making me laugh a little."We're mates. And mates share everything." I said.His hands fiddled before he spoke."Will you tell me more about mates? I know only very little from reading books."I arched a brow, it was the first time he wanted to know some more about supernatural things."I'd be more than glad to tell you all about it." I beamed. "Are any of your friends or siblings mated to a supernatural being?"He tensed at my question."I-I dunno. I don't have any friends, and I don't know about my siblings.""It's alright." I quickly assured. "It doesn't matter. I'll explain everything, but first, let me freshen up real quick.""Okay.""Make yourself at home. There's snacks in the fridge if you want. Or maybe watch tv. I'll be down soon."He nodded. I climbed upstairs.I took a quick shower and changed into my night suit. I dried my hair and let them loose since I'd just braid them b
~Ⓚ︎Ⓘ︎Ⓢ︎Ⓢ︎~We stayed like that for almost 15 minutes, me just being there for my mate as he let go of his life-long pent up emotions.I knew no word was enough to console him, so I just held him. Comforted him. Whispered sweet things in his ears, reminding him that he was safe now, again and again. Untill he finally calmed down.Not getting off his lap, I slightly pulled away to look at his puffed up, red rimmed eyes. Nonetheless they still looked as beautiful as ever.Wiping his tears with my thumbs, I cupped his face and instinctively leaned closer. His breath faltered as he subconsciously gripped my hips, lips parted and eyes speaking."I love you, Chase." I whispered against his lips right before smashing mine on them.He stiffened a little, but as I kissed him slowly and softly, soon he gained his momentum and started to kiss back. Our lips moved swiftly, like they've always known the pattern.Literal fireworks exploded inside me and Asia's purrs got louder while our bond buzze
