That night Lotta had a fever, which lasted until the next day and didn’t pass.
Viktor was worried and tried to talk with the doctor about it, but he said that was usual, considering her state, so he came back after practice to see how is she doing.
Her body was shaking and she tried to open her eyes.
It seemed like she was fighting with herself.
“Lotta?” Viktor called her, hoping she would hear him.
And she did.
She was aware the whole time of what was going on around her, but she just couldn’t tell.
“The doctor said that your fever is normal, you got a few stitches on your back.
“So, I know that is not how you imagine it, but happy birthday, Lotta”, he said and gave her a little box, but she couldn’t take it, she was too weak.
“Here, let me help you”, he said and opened it.
There was a silver bracelet with her name on it, and a pendant with a wolf’s head.
On the inside was engraved Friends Forever.
“I have the same one, so I meant what it writen”, he said.
“Thank you, I will keep it forever”, she smiled at him.
“Are you okay?” He asked when her face went pale and she was starting to shake.
“No”; it was her answer.
“I’ll call the doctor”, Victor said.
“No”, she raised her voice.
“You need something for that, you are not okay, you’re in pain”, he was upset.
“I Im, and it will last, because I will transform and you must to take me to the woods, far away from here as possible”, she said.
“In your condition?”
“No way, it’s better that you stay here”, he protests.
“I wont stay here, and my condition will improve, as soon I transform”, she said.
“You won’t handle it there, you too weak”, he pleaded to her.
“Don’t make me crawl there, Victor, please”, she whispered, in sweat.
“You know I can handle it”, she said to him.
He looked at her for a few seconds, then inhaled deeply.
“It will be harder for you than it was for me, or else because you hurt, you know that”, he said while taking her into his arms.
She wained from the pain when he picked her up, but she held tightly onto him.
“Shit!” Viktor cursed, because he knew how much she was in pain, and more of it waited for her, soon.
“What the hell are you doing?” The doctor asked when he came into the room.
“She will transform, I need o get her out of here”, Victor answered and walked toward the entrance.
“Young man!” Doctor called.
Victor stopped.
“At least, let me give hor a few shots for the pain, if she believes you then I won’t protest, but...”
“If you need me, call me, ok?“The doctor said after he gave her shots.
Victor nodded and left with Lotta in his arms.
He ran as fast as he could, because Lotta already started to feel how all the bones in her body hurt, and she couldn’t suppress a groaning, from the pain in her body.
He was far away from the pack, near the border, when he put her on the ground.
Her hospital dress started to break, and she was sweating and breathing fast and heavily.
Although every werewolf must transform, and Victor knew it well, he couldn’t bear his best friend to suffer that much, more so, because the stitches broke, and she was in the blood.
Nevertheless, he was next to her, holding her hand and listening to her screams, until everything stopped, and a golden ball of fur was in front of him.
Viktor couldn’t believe what he was looking at.
Lotta was a golden wolf!
It was rare, and many thought they were extinct.
She was just lying there, without moving, which meant her body was in shock and needed a rest, and second was that her back was recovering from whipping.
Victor was happy, but he didn’t dare to transform himself, because he didn’t know how she would react to his wolf, he meant.
Golden wolves were strong and they could be healers also, but too dangerous when they were in danger, so he decided to wait.
When she opened her eyes they were glowing green, and he was stunned.
She stood up and got close to him, starting to lick his hand.
At that moment he knew she wouldn’t hurt him, and he transformed, because his wolf Sheen, wanted finally to meet Tessa, and show her all the freedom of transformation of being a werewolf.
She couldn’t run fast at first, but Sheen was speeding more and more so she succeeded o following him, and she felt great.
For the first time in her life, she felt freedom and strength that she never had before and she knew now that she would be missing this way of life more.
She felt tired and they started to get back slowly to the place they were before running.
Viktor gave her his T-shirt because her dress was torn up from transformation.
“Thank you for everything you’ve done for me”, she said to him.
“you welcome”, he smiled.
“Let me see your back”, Victor asked.
“I’m fine, you don’t hafto”...but Viktor already lifted her shirt and his face paled.
“Jesus”, he said stunned.
“I told you I’m fine”, she pulled up the shirt down.
“I’m heald”, she smiled, shyly.
“But the scars”...he said horrified.
“Just leave it , Viktor”, she was serious.
“I’m aware of my scars, and I don’t want to talk about it , also I don’t want anyone to know”, she said.
“What do you mean, you don’t want anyone to know?“He asked, surprised.
“Those are my scars, Viktor”, she whispered.
" And She will be unpunished?!” He was upset now.
“What do you think, will she ?” She asked, in disbelief.
“Or, will I?”
“I don’t think that anything will change if Alpha or Luna finding out what has Agatha done”, Lotta said. “What do you mean it won’t?” Victor asked. “She’s done something awful to you, it doesn’t matter what’s her title, she has no right, and she needs to pe punished.” “You are damaged for good!” Viktor was pissed. “Oh, please, for them I’m just a worthless omega”, she was bittered. “You know that’s not true, and you had a choice, damn it, Lotta, you still do!” “No matter what I do, what I I’m, Agatha won’t let me be, how can’t you understand that?” She was trying to explain. “You worth much more than she, especially now, when they see what you are”, Viktor said. “No!” She yelled. “No one mustn’t know, I forbid you to tell them!” “Why?” “Because you won’t stay here that long?” He found her weak spot. “If you’re my friend, you will understand.” “I’m your friend, and I’ll always will be, but I don’t understand Lotta.” “You are the best warrior I know, much stronger than me,
Lotta almost dropped the tray when she heard him saying that. “Then, every omega could sit out the table with us, which isn’t appropriate, don’t you think , brother?” Agatha’s tongue was vicious as usual. She couldn’t stand Lotta’s closeness. “She has the point, Drake”, Mary agrees with her daughter, as usual. Martin cleared his throat and caught. “Lotta isn’t like other omega’s”, Alpha Martin said. “And yet, you made her as one , father”, Agatha was ruthless. “I made a mistake, just to please you and your mother”, he was embarrassed. “Enough!” Drake’s strong voice made them in shock, even Lotta. She just stood there, not knowing what to think, or feel anymore, all she knew was that she wanted to leave. “Is that true, father?” Drake’s voice was calmer, but still firm and serious, just like his face. “Yes, son, but you were there, it was before your 18 birthday”, Alpha Martin said. “I thought she was doing it for other reasons, that you were trying to help her like you shou
Lotta was looking at him as if she could kill him, she was so mad. “You may win the battle, but not the war”, she told him. “How will you be with a woman that despises you?” Without love, or ...” She bit her lips, not wanting to continue, which made him laugh. “Oh, I’m not worried, my precious”, he said and approached very close to her, so she could feel his breathing. “I’ve seen how you reacted to my touch, and I’m sure you will be very hot in bed, our bed”, he whispered, while he gently caressed her cheek. Lotta’s face was never that red. She wanted the earth to open up and swallow her, now. He was much taller than her, and so hot, and yes. She was attracted to him, but that was a bond that all mates had, it doesn’t mean that love will be there and strong enough. But she wanted that, once... A long time ago, before he left, without an explanation, before she realized why she was so bonded to him, but now she did. They were mates, destined ones, and nothing could change
Lotta’s POV What an arogant man! Who the hell, is he?! Talking to me like that and telling me what to do with my life, not to mention that he wants to marry me, like I’m his property! “You are his mate”, she heard Tessa in her head. “It doesn’t mean he can do what ever he wants with me!” Lotta said to her. “Ohh, you are mad about a kiss.” “You must admit, it was a great kiss”, Tessa teased her. Lotta touched her swollen lips, still warm from his gentle kiss. Tessa was right, he liked the kiss, and the thing was she wanted much more than a kiss, and that was what made her angry. Oh, God, why him? Why now? The bond was too strong, even then, she could feel it, but she could never imagine that Drake was her mate. She was always intimidated by his appearance, always, and she thought that there was no way that he would ever look at her, he was so much above her as she always thought, and a future Alpha. At that time, she was broken and couldn’t tell what would happen to her l
“It was you all the time!” She raised her voice. “I can’t believe I was so stupid to see it”, she said. “Tell me, damn it!” She yelled at Viktor. “Yes, it was me”, he admitted, and in his voice was a relief. “So, you were pretending to be my friend?” She was bittered. “I’ve never pretend, I’m your friend Lotta and I always will be, regardless of Drake, or what you think”, he said. “I didn’t do it because he’s a future Alpha or because I will become his Beta, I choose to be your friend, because of you”, he said. “You’ll be his Beta?” “Great reward”, she said. “It’s not what you think”, he told her. “Really?” “How is it then, Viktor, because I would really like to know”, she was upset. He took a deep breath before he started to talk. “Drake and I were always the best friends, you could always see us together”, he said. “Yes, I saw you, but I thought it was because you are his father’s best warrior, and he needed to train”, she said. “That too, but we grew up together, and
“I’m not sleeping with you !” She said, upset. “He smiled, with satisfaction on his face. “You aren’t, at least, not yet”, he said, calm. “What they’ll is that supposed to mean?” She asked him. “You will move your stuff into your new room, at the main house.” “I have no peace when you are here in the pack house alone, with free males that running around”, he was serious. “Oh, and near you I’ll be safer?” She was sarcastic. “You know you will, at least until I became an Alpha because then you are moving with me, into our room”, he said. “You are crazy, I’m not going to do that”, she was firm. “Stop being so childish.” “You know I won’t do anything you don’t want me to, otherwise I would do it a long time ago, damn it!” He was frustrated, but he kept his calmness. She was quiet, thinking about what he just said. He was right, he could have her that same night at the garden if he wanted to, and she would let him. Shit! Why he must always be right?! And, so damn hot! God.
Lotta’s room was next to Drake’s, only a wall separated them, and, for her, it wasn’t enough. She didn’t feel safe, not because she thought he would hurt her, no, it was the opposite. She knew that he could be trusted, but she was afraid because she had a hard time controlling herself near him. Her room had everything she needed, and more. The closet was filled with her clothes, old and new, in her size. Drake thought of everything, she thought. It was strange for her to get used to all this, especially, because she had no idea how to behave. She couldn’t be there doing anything, it wasn’t her at all, not to mention that Agatha was on the other floor with their parents, and she knew that it would be impossible to avoid her. She didn’t try to, everything she wanted was to be left alone, but considering Agatha, that would be hard. It seemed like Drake felt that something was wrong between the two, so he made sure that she stayed alone with him, in his part of the house. She ne
She was looking at his lips that were so warm on her. She was drawn to them like enchanted, wanted to kiss them so badly. And she did. She kissed him passionately like she was a drowning man who was fighting for air, and he responded with the same passion. She was holding his shirt, wanting to tear it apart, and he caressed her hot body, with his warm, big hands. It felt so good, it felt right, to both of them. His lips were all over her neck, and when he exposed her shoulder, she froze. She remember those awful scars that she had on her back. He mustn’t see them. She stopped, fighting with herself, to let him go. They were breathing heavily, knowing the reason why. Their desire was too big, and both of them knew it. “I’m sorry, I was carried away”, she whispered, fixing her shirt. She was uncomfortable looking him in the eyes, especially because she felt how excited he was when they were kissing. “I gues that makes two of us”, he cleared his throat. “Look at me , Lotta
