*Anita's POV*“Then let me figure it out. Explain it to me. I don’t want to do something without knowing everything first. Let me into your world” he said.“No. You need to leave” I sighed, walking over to the window behind my desk.I stared out at some of my pack members as I rubbed my chest trying to ease the pain.“Anita, I’m not leaving until you talk to me ” he said determined.“I wanted to talk yesterday but, you didn’t seem happy with the idea” I mumbled.“I’m sorry but, it was all surprising. I didn’t understand what was happening” Kelly told me.“And you think now you’ll understand? You are a human. My world is totally different from yours so, you couldn’t possibly understand, okay?" I said, sounding dejected. "The sad part is that before yesterday I had hoped you would. Then I thought about it and things could never work out” I sighed.“Anita just give me a second chance, please” he breathed coming over and touching my arms.The familiar sparks danced across my skin from his
*Anita*After Kelly told me he loved me, I felt amazing.My wolf relished in the fact that our mate didn’t reject us.Though it wasn’t until we had sex that the mate bond would be complete. I’d have to bite and leave my mark on him. Until then, he could still reject the bond although I highly doubt it.“Were you ever going to tell me about this?” Kelly asked as we walked around.I wanted to show him our land, and also I felt if the pack members saw us together, they wouldn’t be worried about a stranger.“Eventually. It’s hard to bring humans into our world because most don’t understand. We’d be telling people that the stories they heard as children are actually true and some can’t handle it. That’s why it’s forbidden, unless it deals with mates. If we stay in the shadows, it lowers the dangers toward us” I explained.“What kind of dangers?” he questioned.“Rogues and hunters. Rogues are werewolves that went insane. They’ve lost all of their humanity and gained bloodlust for other wolv
“Are you okay?” Kelly asked as we entered the pack house.“I’m fine. Now please stop asking me that” I spoke, flashing him a smile.“I just want to make sure. You looked a little on edge with Rose” he said.At the sound of her name, I felt a growl at the back of my throat.“I’m sorry if I scared you. My emotions are kind of all over the place with the mate bond. They won’t settle until we’ve sealed the bond” I told him as we headed upstairs.“Sealed the bond? What does that mean?” he asked confused.I led him into the guest bedroom I had on my floor. It was usually used for my parents when they stayed over.“As werewolves, we must claim our mates and mark them. This happens when we have sex for the first time. But since I’m an Alpha, there is supposed to be a big ceremony first where I introduce you to the pack as my mate. Then we consumate, like a marriage” I explained.“Oh” he mumbled as his skin flushed red and he blushed. It was really cute.“Are you okay? The ceremony won’t happe
“Well isn’t this a nice surprise” she spoke leaning back to look at me.“I’d say.You’re a hunter?” I asked.“Does Kelly know what you are? That he’s dating a filthy, unnatural creature” Rose snickered watching me with a face of disgust.“That isn’t any of your business. I’m the one asking the questions.Your job is to answer them or else you’ll suffer the consequences” I growled as my eyes flashed yellow.“Careful. You’ll get nothing from me if I’m harmed.Besides how will you explain to Kelly that you’ve locked up his bestfriend.He won’t be to happy about that” she spoke.“What makes you think he’ll actually care especially, after the shit you’ve pulled.Honestly, it was pretty pathetic watching you throw yourself at a man that doesn’t want you.I mean talk about being friend zoned” I chuckled trying to rile her up.I was hoping she was one of those people that would slip up when angry.“Shut the hell up! You know nothing about Kelly. You’ve been in his life for what,…five minutes.
I was dreading going to see my parents.Since everything with Anita, I haven’t really talked to them lately especially, my mom.I knew that I couldn’t go on like that which is why I had to come see them in person.Just to prove that I was ok.Taking a deep breath I got out of my car and headed to the door.I knocked before entering and stood there waiting.“Kelly, thank God! We were so worried about you! Where have you been?” my mom asked pulling me into her arms.“It has only been four days and I was busy with a work thing” I lied stepping into the house.“Don’t lie to me. I asked your father and he said you haven’t been over to the company” she stated crossing her arms.“Fine. I took some time off. I needed to deal with some things” I sighed.“Are you in trouble Kelly?” she asked.“No, I’m not” I groaned.“Then why have you been avoiding your family?” she asked.“Cause everytime I come over here your trying to set me up with someone.No matter how many times I tell you that I am fin
I watched Anita run out the door.I felt the need to chase after her but, I ignored it.I knew she wanted space. Rubbing my face, I thought about what she said about Rose being a hunter.I couldn’t believe it. I mean I would have known if my best friend hunted werewolves.It was just crazy and I needed proof. I mean it wasn’t like I didn’t trust Anita but, this was just outrageous.“I don’t like you” Caroline spoke coming back into the room.By the glare on her face, I didn’t doubt her statement.“I didn’t mean to hurt her” I sighed trying to defend myself.“You did though. The relationship with mates in the begining is a delicate, fragile one.Anything could set your significant other off especially, wolves.Our emotions are already heighten but, it’s worse during the mating process” she explained.“I didn’t know but, I’m starting to notice. I have to see Rose.If you guys are holding her here as a prisoner, I need to talk to her” I stated.“That isn’t my decision to make. You’d have
“Are you sure about this? I mean talking to her alone”Anita asked as we stood outside the entrance to the dungeon where they were keeping Rose.“Yes. I’ll be fine” I told her before placing a kiss on her forehead.She still looked worried but, nodded her head to the guards.They opened the door and let me in. As I descended the stairs I was kind of nervous.Rose was my friend, one of the first ones I ever truly had.Part of me didn’t want to come in here, to see what kind of state she was in but,a bigger part needed answers and to see if she was ok.When I came upon her cell, the first thing I noticed were the iron chains around her ankle that was hooked to the ground.Anita had told me that this was were they usually kept rogue werewolves.It took her a while to notice my presence.“Kelly” she gasped standing up. She went to walk toward the bars but, was stopped by the chain only allowing her so far.“Are you okay?” I asked letting the worry leak through my voice.“I’ve been better
Weak. It was one word I refused to be associated with.Growing up, I knew I had to be strong, not just physically but, mentally.As an Alpha you had people depend on you for their safety.They looked to you for console and decisions that were in their best interest.I knew the moment, I was told there was a hunter on pack grounds they would have to be taken care of.I couldn’t risk the safety of my people. It was my job to protect them.1 life for the survival of hundreds. This wouldn’t be the first time I killed and surely not the last.“Alpha, we’re ready. Leila has her strapped down ” Henry said.“Okay, let’s get this done” I said standing up from my desk.I lead the way out of my office and over to the dungeons.When I entered the cell to see Rose hooked up and secured to the bed I knew it was something I’d never forget.“Hello Alpha” Leila greeted.“Hi. Are we ready?” I asked glancing to Rose. Her face was one of stone and it just showed her character.She was a woman that wouldn
