Completion of step one

"Such a beautiful name you got there, Amara. What does that mean?" Nicolas was genuinely curious because he never heard this name before.

"Different meanings in different languages but I like to think that it means immortal," Amara said, her voice suddenly becoming a little bitter as if she has remembered something.

Nicolas noticed the change in her tone.

He wanted to ask her what it was but he felt like that would push her away.

For now, he was ok with the fact that she wasn't pushing him away and actually talking to him.

He also wanted to ask her what she meant by facing the worse but resist the urge.

"Can you tell me how you ended up coming here?" 

As much as Nicolas wanted to pick her up and take her with him, he first had to confirm that it was safe for his people.

He didn't want to risk their lives. There were so many small kids in the pack. He couldn't let them die due to his mistakes. He was their leader and he had to protect them no matter what.

If she wasn't safe or taking her to the pack house isn't safe then he was planning to take her to his penthouse.

Either way, he was going to keep her with himself and ensure that no matter what, she is safe.

"I came from the "Redwood" pack," Amara slowly said in a voice full of pain.

Her eyes filled up with pain while Nicolas's eyes filled up with hatred, shock, anger, confusion, and many more emotions.

'Redwood' pack was the opposite of the 'Bluemoon' pack. Both packs hate each other because of the never-ending fight going on between them.

And especially the Alphas hated each other more than anything in this entire world.

Nicolas was the alpha of one of these packs.

"What were you doing there? Are you a member of that pack?" His voice was now one that has changed its tone.

Amara looked at him with tearful eyes.

"Used to be, if you count an omega to be a pack member," she said.

One sentence and a glance at her eyes were enough for Nicolas to forget everything. He didn't want to hurt her but at the same time, he felt like he unintentionally ended up hurting her.

His already burning rage towards the redwood pack was now over the surface. She just gave him another reason to hate the other pack.

He could already guess that she was mistreated there.

"Did they hurt you and that's why you are here?" He asked.

Deep inside he wanted the answer to be no. He doesn't even want to think about the possibility that someone as pure as she was bullied.

But we don't always get what we want. She nodded her head and his eyes started burning.

Her body was shaking and he felt the strong urge to hug her. And he ended up pulling her towards himself.

Now both of them could feel each other, a little too closely.

He closed his eyes and cursed himself for hugging her in this state. His blood started boiling under her touch and he could feel himself getting excited.

He didn't want her to think that despite her being in pain, he wanted to fuck her.

"I think it's better if we move to our pack. I will listen to the rest of your story there. I also need to wear some clothes," he said and Amara nodded her head.

Her own cheeks turned into a deep pink shade. 

When Nicolas saw her cheeks, he already could guess what she was thinking about. She clearly understood what he was going through.

He was a little embarrassed but at the same time, he wasn't.

"She was going to see me naked in the future either way. It shouldn't be such a big deal. I need to get a grip on my self-control," he thought before shifting into his wolf form.

She looked into his eyes which were now golden.

He came before her and lowered his head again. This time he didn't want her to touch him, it was an indication for her to get on his back.

She clearly understood what he meant and did what he wanted her to do.

He started running so fast that she felt as if everything around then was blurry. All she could see was a greenish fog kind of thing.

She got a tighter grip on his fur but still was afraid that she might fall.

She later holds his neck with both of her arms. Her hair was floating in the air, eyes were closed.

Nicolas liked what was going on. He absolutely adored her body heat against his.

She suddenly opened her eyes and something flashed into her eyes. She looked at Nicolas's head and later at her grip around his neck.

She holds his neck even tighter.

Nicolas thought that she was getting scared of his speed. Hence, he decided to go a little slower.

Amara now could see her surrounding a little more clearly. 

There were going through the green forest. Everything was green. She felt like if she tries to walk on them then she would fall over her face.

How Nicolas was about to run seemed like magic to her.

Tall trees blocked any sound from outside, coming inside and the sound of Nicolas's paws against the mud was the only thing she could hear.

Other than this the forest was as silent as it could get.

Soon, her eyes fall on a small village-like thing with beautiful wooden houses.

So many wooden houses were arranged one after another and it was looking like a small village.

Flower plants were everywhere and she could see a few women with their children.

She could already guess where they have reached. It was going to be her future home aka the 'Bluemoon' pack.

A sudden urge to burn everything down ignited inside her heart.

Step one was done.
