LOGIN“Shit, I'm sorry I didn't know you weren't ready,” Kator immediately begins apologizing but I can barely hear him above the buzz of the pain.“I said train me, not kill me damnit,” I growled as I tried to hold my screaming knee cap but then I get a look at it and I gasp.“Move aside!” I heard him growl before I could finish processing the fact that my leg and my lap were disconnected.“Alpha I'm sorry, I didn't…”Kator trailed off as the Alpha suddenly bent down and lifted me off the ground.I screamed as the movement increased the already intense amount of pain I was feeling.But then, sparks from the bond mixed with everything and I was overly irritated. He's been avoiding me all these while and telling guards to keep me away from him but the second he touched me, my body lost its marbles and here I am yearning for more of his touch.Fuck that.“Drop me down! Fuck!” I screamed, pushing his chest away.“Don't worry I'll reset it, you'll be fine in no time.”“I don't… ahhh, shit, I do
MAYA'S POV I turned from the side where the sun was threatening to burn my face and faced the other side.Sun at this time of year was absolutely weird and it made me wonder if I was still dreaming.Like the nightmare of me fighting off rogues.“Not really a nightmare in the real sense but it was definitely a nightmare. My claws hurt.”“Good morning Sofie. What are you talking about? It was an actual nightmare. We're not that strong.”“Hush, I'm not going to explain how it works because I don't know either but it happened. And it's afternoon already.”My stomach growled and I sat up immediately even before opening my eyes.I used to be familiar with hunger but since I came here, the mere thought of not eating gave me palpitations.So I rushed to the bathroom which was smaller than the other one and I took a shower.My brain was finally awake.“So that actually happened.”“Yep. And we fought them off! I feel like a super wolf!”“Okay, you're taking it too far. Those don't exist,” I re
The Pack gathered and I did my duties, half mind in it and the other half on her.She's sleeping there all alone without protection and I feel like I'm sitting on hot coals.The second everyone is dismissed, I step out of the Pack house.But Killian stopped me.He's the only Alpha I allowed to come to my Pack unannounced but I feel he followed them back to protect them on the journey back since I couldn't.“Where are you rushing off to man? I thought we were supposed to discuss how the festivities will go?”“Killian, we can discuss this tomorrow, I need to sleep.”“Hmm, something tells me this is more than about sleep. How is she feeling?”“I don't know, I've been here for at least three hours and she's there all alone.”“Damn, I would have never imagined that this side of you existed in my wildest dreams. Go on then, go take care of your mate,” he tapped my shoulder with a thick grin.“She's not –”“Oh, you're still on that hill. Okay. Go and take care of your breeder then. Sound bet
CADEN'S POV I've never run so fast in my life but still, it felt like I was crawling.Fangs paws ate up the forest and snowy path so quickly we could barely feel the cold and the second we got to the first protective ring of my Pack, he sped up faster.Even he couldn't believe it was possible.The border patrol was trying to talk to me but my mind was scrambled.No.It had just one name on repeat.“WHERE IS SHE?!” I screamed in the Pack link immediately I was within the second ringEveryone could hear me now.Whispers began coming but no one had an idea of what I was yelling about.I pushed on, running to the house.The second I got to the junction that went to the market and out this way, we skidded to an abrupt halt.My heart skipped and I gasped.“No. No no no!”The intense scent of rogues was all over the place even coming from the house.Everywhere I turned, there was evidence of the bastards.He wasn't lying.He'd actually sent them to come get her and I didn't come to rescue h
Maya's POVNobody moved for me.That was the thing I registered first — the horn still echoing through the territory and every wolf in sight streaming left toward the administration building, heads down, moving fast, their eyes finding everything except the girl standing at the junction in front of the Alpha's house.Nobody stopped.My heart leapt to my throat.Not all the wolves were in wolf form, five were in human form and they were looking at me like a piece of meat dangled in front of a dog who hadn't eaten in ages.My eyes went to Iron Claw Pack members again as they ran every way but to my way. I watched them go. My evacuation protocol was working exactly as designed — orderly, efficient, moving the Pack to safety through the left road without panic.Just not for me.And nobody cared about me enough to try to help.I turned right.The rogues had come through the market road and spread across the front of the house as they owned it, like they knew exactly who they were looking
He was already far away when I realised what the options before me were.If I retreat now, I might be able to get to her.Might.But he's here, within reach, an opportunity I don't know when next it'll present itself.“Caden.”He was underprepared for a battle, he counted on me going back to my Pack to save her.He is running now because he's scared he might have miscalculated.But then…That fur got to his hands because when she cried for help, I ignored her All of this happened because I chose my Pack over my mate.I looked back at the wolves waiting for my signal, even the ones he was running towards right now.I could take half an army and go save her but what if?Aldric isn't an idiot, he's fought all his life and I don't know anyone here strong enough to take him, malnourished or not.And I do not doubt his claims, not just because I can still smell the wrongness of the male he presented but I remembered I kept forgetting to initiate Brynn into the Pack.Yet she still stands.B
Before the game started, guys from the other side came to join and soon, the compound was crowded, drinks flowed out and chairs were pulled out.One thing I noticed was that all the guys were avoiding me.Not like I wanted them near me but it stung how I was treated like I had a contagious disease.
MAYA'S POV Slowly, boredom returned with a vengeance.At this rate, I'll soon begin missing the days Saul and his goons used to chase me around the Pack forests, trying to beat me to an inch of my life.“Okay, that's a stretch.”“Relax Sofie, I'm not saying I miss it. That's impossible but damnit,
She was pissed, I could tell.Her pace was faster than usual yet she remained by my side due to my long strides, she had her fists clenched by my side and I could bet you a hefty penny that inside her mind, she was cursing me the fuck out.But it was inevitable.The anger... is good.It'll create t
Heat flamed my cheeks, what on earth is wrong with me?The man rubs my body and I'm suddenly needy?I adjust myself but he must have misread the signs as me being uncomfortable and he pulled me closer, spreading my legs on either side of his lap and then pushed my chest to his.My breast was touchi
