His human mate

"Alpha, something strange has entered our territory. It's a human being," one of the pack members said.

"Why are you acting as if you have never seen a human being before? You seem terrified as if that human is going to eat you alive. Let me see who it is," Nicolas, the alpha of the pack said before transforming into his wolf form.

A small body was surrounded by bushes and suddenly a heavenly smell hits his nose.

Then and there he knew who it was. It was going to be his future Luna aka his mate.

His heart started beating faster than ever. Blood was rushing in his body and he couldn't wait to see her face.

He goes closer and finally takes a look at her face. It was nothing like what he imagined it would be.

He always wanted a strong woman to be his mate but before his eyes were shaking small human with tears falling down her cheeks.

She was beautiful, way too beautiful. She was so fragile looking that he couldn't decide whether he wants to protect her from the entire world or himself.

Her eyes were filled with innocence, something he hasn't seen in a long time other than seeing it in little children's eyes.

He was about to touch her face with his hands when he realized that he was still in his wolf form.

He mentally cursed himself for scaring her like this.

In his head, he could feel that she was terrified of him. He knew that he wasn't the prince charming type of guy. Neither did he look like a prince with his sharp eyes, thin lips, and stone-like face.

And the most unforgettable feature is the long scar that runs through his left eyebrows to his left mid-cheek.

And due to this reason, he didn't want to transform back to his human form. He also wasn't sure whether she knew about Lycans or not.

He went near her and he could feel her heavy breath. Her eyes were looking at him in a pleading manner.

He didn't know what she was asking for but one thing he was sure of and it is that she was more beautiful when closer.

He slowly lowered his head and gave her his forehead to caress.

As if understanding his needs, she started touching his fur-filled forehead.

Her touch was full of hesitation at the start but when she noticed that he was as calm as the sea, she decided to touch him a little more firmly.

He could now feel her fingers imprinting on his skin. He could confirm one thing and it was that he likes her touch.

"Are you a wolf or Lycan?" She suddenly asked. 

Nicolas looked at her with widened eyes, not sure how she guessed it.

He took a few steps back, moving away from her and her touch.

He was already missing her touch.

Her hands weren't the softest, it was slightly rough. He could guess that it was due to the same reason as why her entire appearance was dirty.

Anyone who sees her now would be able to guess that she didn't come from the brightest side of the world.

Her hair was tangled. Her eyes have dark circles under them and are a little red, probably due to lack of sleep or from crying. 

Nicolas couldn't point his finger at the reason but whatever it was, he didn't like her suffering.

He didn't even know her name till now and he was already feeling so protective over her.

"That's the mate connection I am feeling," he thought.

He closed his eyes and his golden wolf eyes changed into dark black eyes. He stood there bare.

Amara's eyes widened. Something flashed into her eyes but it was gone as soon as it came.

"I am the alpha of 'Bluemoon pack'. Your presence seemed like a danger to our people but turns out you are harmless after all. I apologize if I scared you anyhow," Nicolas said in a gentle tone.

But due to his deep voice, it didn't sound gentle at all. He wasn't the perfect guy someone falls in love with because of how perfect he is, he was more like the intimating villain who is feared by all.

Amara raised her eyebrows with a suspicious look. One could tell by her look that she didn't like something he said or was confused by his actions.

"Is there something you would like to ask me, my last?" Nicolas asked, not the least ashamed that he was standing there naked before an unknown woman.

Well, in this case, his mate.

Amara wanted to ask why he used our rather than my while mentioning his people.

But later thought that he might mean his entire pack.

She shook her head, indicating that it was nothing.

Nicolas was a little amused by his mate's actions. She wasn't tall. She couldn't even reach the average height.

He measured that she might be around five feet. She was a little chubby and that made her look only cuter.

"Aren't you afraid that a Lycan is standing before you?" Nicolas asked since he thought that she would be afraid of him after knowing his reality.

It's not every day that you touch a wolf only to later find out that it's not a normal wolf.

"How can I be afraid of your mere existence when I have faced worse?"

Her reply to his question with another question only raised the interest in his heart to know more about her.

"What's your name, warrior?" He smiled a little after calling her by a nickname.

He didn't know her past but he could already tell that it wasn't the smoothest run.

Whatever it was, she was going to have a safe home and security from now and it was a silent promise he made to himself.

She was now his and he would rather burn down the entire world than let any harm touch her.

"Amara."
