I remove my teeth from El’s neck and howl as our connection deepens. I feel everything she’s feeling: shock, confusion, love, and pain. It’s minor, but I hate that she is in pain because of me. I bit her before the full moon, and though it’s frowned upon, the effects are usually just mild pain and prolonged sleep. “AHHH.” El cries out, and simultaneously pain surges through me suddenly. I growl and shift back into my human form, pulling her into my arms. “El,” I call out to her, but her eyes are closed as her body shakes. I can feel the pain coursing through her. Silas claws against my being, trying to get out. Stop it, I command. There is nothing you can do. What’s wrong with her? “I don’t—-” “AHHHH,” she cries out again. “Troy!” “Yes, Alpha.” “Get Dr. Dyer, now!” Twenty minutes later, I’m pacing before the room as Dr. Dyer examines El. I can feel she is no longer in pain, but I can’t help from feeling like this is my fault. I shouldn’t have bitten her before it was time,
"Elina, stay here, keep the doors locked, and no matter what happens, do not come out." I nod; mom and grandma open the door, then hurry to the house. They disappear in the house, and I am left alone in the dark. Rrrrr, I jump as a loud growl comes from the house, followed by blood-curdling screams. That sounds like mom; fear grips me as I begin to panic.
Elina The bell rings, signaling the end of class. I grab all my books, shove them in my bag, and rush to the door. “The last to arrive and t
The rest of the day’s classes pass without any other embarrassing situations. I say goodbye to Cassie and Iris and stand outside by my bike, waiting for Xavier. After waiting for ten minutes, he finally appears with his signature scowl on his face. &n
Xavier I clench my fist as I walk away; that witch has some nerve. My mate? What a joke? My mate was prophesied. I am destined to be with Keira to rule with her by my side. Yet I cannot deny that I feel the need to protect the witch; my wolf form has claimed her. It forced me to run to her when she fainted today. "Silas," I call my wolf within. I know he is lurking in my consciousness, but he does not speak. "Silas, "I call again, but he remains silent. " Silas, I am your master; answer me!" "Yes," His voice finally sounds in my head. "The witch, why did you want me to protect her?" "She is your queen, my Luna, as apart of you as I am." I grit my teeth. What does he mean she is apart of me. "The witch is nothing
Xavier I arrive at school a bit later than usual; my run this morning took longer because of all the craziness. From learning Keira may not be my mate and that a witch could be. I needed to break free and be one with my wolf. "Baby," Keira wraps her arms around me. I smile; my mate, this is who I chose. Silas growls; shut up. I scream mentally. I spin and wrap my arms around her; she's pouting when she says." Jay saw you leaving school with that witch yesterday, and you didn't answer my calls." " I was busy; come on, we have to get to class." "But the witch. Where did you go with her?" "We had something to discuss." she frowns and removes her hands from around me. I grab her and pull her back to me, kissing her forehead. "It was just a quick chat babe, you know I hate all witches, including her." "Uhh, excuse me." I snap around at the sound of Elina's voice."You!" I shout as I approach the source of all my recent troubles. " Umm, dude,
Elina I scream from frustration before I trek back to school. Why has my life become so complicated? Why couldn’t I finish this year without weird dreams and angry hot boys? My face heats up as I remember falling on top of Xavier a couple of minutes ago. Our faces were so close, a little closer, and we would have... ok Elina, let's not think about that angry wolf. I need to figure out what our connection is and, more importantly, how to break it. In that dream this morning, he was there, and he remembers it, which means it’s more than a dream. Is he entering my thoughts? I know from werewolves' mates isn’t much, but I know they share a telepathic connection. However, that usually happens after the mate is identified on or after their eighteenth birthday. So even if I’m his mate, why would we be connected so early? I try to think of all the possible reasons, but nothing makes sense. I groan as I walk through the doors. He is right; I need to get my book
Elina At the end of the day, I leave quickly to head home and then go to Iris’s house to talk to Raina, her sister. I get home and park in the driveway; I hear yelling coming from my house. I walk up to the house slowly. “You told me you would break it, Noime.” An unfamiliar male voice booms through the house. “ I’m working on it.” “ It’s been six years, and you still haven’t done it. How can I trust it get done in two weeks?” “ I’m working on it, Alavic, and I don’t appreciate you coming to my house yelling.” Alavic? Xavier's uncles and the current Alpha of Xavier pack. Why is he here, and why is he talking to my mother? “His wolf recognizes her as his queen...” he says those words, and suddenly the words Xavier spoke earlier flash in my head. I freeze; this is about Xavier and me. “ His wolf will reject any mate that isn’t her. Break it or be fine prepared to sacrifice your daughter.” “No!!!!!! That’s my only child; y
