(Alpha Rollins POV)"What do you mean that she might not be human?" Teo asked. "She smells like a human; she behaves like one too," Teo argued."And she would have died like one," Lucian added."I think there is something she doesn't know; I have the feeling in me that werewolves can't be mated to humans.""You are right, that's like a glitch; you can correct it though by rejecting her," Lucia suggested.I finally turned my attention to him. "I don't understand you; since she came here, you've been acting weird, and it's getting disturbing. Does the fact that she is my mate not bother you at all?"He was silent before he spoke out, "I'm sorry, man. I know she is your mate, but this is beyond us; it has to do with the whole pack. Are you actually going to take her out on any of those meetings with other packs?, the one that Alphas with their Lunas attend?" he explained like I didn't know the 'meetings' he was talking about."What would they think of this pack if they discovered our Lun
(Cara's POV)I should be scared of him; he had killed a man right before my eyes. I should stay away from him, but the moment he let me have a peek into his past, I discovered that in some strange way we were similar. There was this space in his heart, and I wanted to fill it.I placed my hands on his chest, tracing lines down to his abdomen. He didn't push me away, and that gave me a little confidence to go further. I might not be as perfect as other girls out here, and I might not be as powerful, but there was something I had that they didn't. I had the Alpha -- at least that's what I believed. He was obsessed, and he didn't hide it. He didn't hide his want, and I loved seeing the bright, burning need in his eyes."Touch me," I whispered, "Make me yours."His eyes darkened. "You don't know what you are asking for," he replied, and he was right. I didn't know what I was asking for, but I wanted to be his in every sense."Then explain it to me.""You would be mine when I've marked you
(Alpha Rollins POV)I woke up to her body so close to mine, but then I saw the scars, and it was all flooding in. I stood up, pulling away the covers, and that's when I saw it.I looked closer at the scars on her breast and biceps, but the most visible was the one on her neck.Wait, did I mark her?There was one emotion I thought I wasn't capable of feeling: fear. But now, for the first time in years, I was afraid. I always have things under control, but not now."Cara," I called, but there was no answer. "Cara," I called louder, and then her eyes flew open. She groaned."Wait, don't move," I say, standing to my feet."Rollins," she called. Why didn't she sound mad? Maybe she didn't understand yet; she didn't remember all I did to her; she would very soon. "You have no clothes on."Snap. I rushed to the dressing room, putting on the first pair of pants I could find, and I walked out.I picked her up, the bed dress covering her petite body as I carried her out of the room. She wasn't s
(Cara's POV)~~I was in pain, but I had to prove a point—that I wasn't just a weak mate; I had to make him believe that I wasn't as weak as he thought.For the rest of the days, he still treated me like some fragile egg. I hated it. The scars were healing up. Matilda said they were healing up faster than normal, but she didn't deal with humans, so she couldn't tell. In a few days, it was all cleared, except for the mark on my neck that left a permanent scar. I thought the scar looked quite nice.I hadn't left the room once in the past few days because Rollins wanted me to rest. What 'more'resting' did I need?, I was totally fine, but he still wouldn't see it, but I think I got crappier as the day went by. I wish I could say it was only because he left me locked up here; that would be a lie. I didn't want to even think of the fact that he had been physically distant. Yes, he touched me a lot and kissed me a lot too, but he didn't go further than that. I shouldn't be angry, but I was
(Cara's POV)"Is it not about Lucian?" I lied, but May saw through that."You didn't seem so quick to leave a few minutes ago, not till I mentioned his name," she said. I expected her to be annoyed, but she wasn't."I just...""I'm not like that, you know," she says, opening the door wider. As Teo walked in, I had to follow, even if I didn't want to be anywhere in Lucian's room."This is your outfit," she says, tossing a pair of black leggings and a matching black leather crop top at me. I took it in my arms."You can change in the bathroom."I didn't move one inch; this was Lucian's bathroom."Don't worry, he's already at the training field; he won't be back anytime soon.I nodded, letting her lead me into the bathroom. She stood by the door, staring at me."A little... privacy?""Oh," she muttered, turning away and letting me undress.I didn't mind undressing in front of girls that I knew, but not strangers, and I also didn't want her to see the healing bruises or judge me, as I was
May walked to us, fully dressed."You guys hold your clothes in your mouth? Is that even comfortable?""Nope, but it is not so bad either; we get used to it," Teo answered, and May nodded in agreement."So, before we go further, How many people are present at the training field?" I asked"Just a couple," Teo answered."When guys say 'just a couple' is always the opposite, I need figures here.""Uhmm... half of the pack members, plus the Alpha.""Rollins is here!" "Yeah, what did you think?""You could have told me," I argued."You didn't seem to mind when I told you the 'you are the boss of yourself speech'""Well, I didn't think you were taking me to him.""Are you mad at me? I can take you back to the pack, back to your room.""Actually, you are right; I own myself, and besides, he gets to be here; why would I be locked up in the room?" I say, the annoyed look on my face slipping away and a smirk replacing it, I just couldn't go back.He smiled at that. "There you go, girl, and do
"Hello Luna," Emmaline said to me. That same smirk she had when she beat up the poor woman was still there again.I hated it."Did you like the show I put up?" she asked, pointing to the woman who was now surrounded by medics-- which they called healers here."I've seen better," I said back to her, satisfied when the smirk on her face fell off. But that was a lie; I had never seen any 'woman', fight with such strength, speed, and agility."Then you wouldn't mind if I asked you to show me," she says, the smirk returning.I couldn't believe what she was asking for. "What do you mean?" I asked, even if I knew where she was heading."I mean, why not me and you? Go right into that ring and have a spare. I'm curious to know how brutal Luna Cara can be."Immediately, Teo stood between us."Back off, Emma," he growled, and she smirked, taking some steps backwards, her gaze still on me.I noticed that everyone has their attention on us now. This was what Rollins was bothered about: I should be
May and Teo left, and I stood before Rollins, wondering if I should run away and hide, talk back, or apologize. Nah, I can't apologize; I did him no harm; leaving the room wasn't something I should apologize for; if there was someone needing an apology, it would surely be me; after all, he had locked me up there like he owned me."You are not just useful to me in the bedroom, Cara. I love everything about you as much as I love fucking you, but you don't go around accepting challenges," he said."Why?" I asked, deciding to be the more unreasonable person here."Why? Are you seriously asking me that?""Yes, of course. Why do you think I would stand here and let her say shit to me?""I don't expect you to do that either; you are the fucking Luna. You could put her in her place without lifting a single finger; just say the word, and our soldiers would put her in place.""That's why you sent the message, right? You wanted a distraction," I inquired, even if I knew the answer to that."Imag
