"Focus, Sage, focus!" Aurora shouted at Sage who kept leaping at the rogues. "Just follow my lead and you all will be fine," she told other shifters that seemed to be retreating."Their leader is mine," Sage's mind linked them as he broke the line and attacked anyone who crossed his path with such fury. He only had his eyes on one prize."Attack!" Aurora barked, going after the rogues. Even as she attacked them, she had her eyes on Sage, watching out for him to ensure he was not in some sort of danger.The fight soon ended, and most of the rogues were taken down, while those who managed to escape did so with varying degrees of injury."I told you he's mine; let him be," Sage mind linked Derrick, interrupting him as he made to shift. "What do you need him alive for?" he asked, surprised."As a bait Derrick." "Are you fine?" Aurora requested when she got beside Sage.Not saying a word to her, Sage turned his attention to the rogues that stayed lying on the ground, writhing in pain. He
He was amazed at how fast she killed up to seven rogues up in a blink of an eye. He shrugged, after all, Aurora was the leader of the pack fighters.Watching her chest rise and fall as she tried to catch her breath, he decided it was time for them to head to the cottage. “Clean this up. We are about to head out,” he mind linked his beta.With a small nod he directed at Rae, he took Aurora hand, leading her to where they had packed the vehicle.She sat quietly in the car, pondering over what had happened in the last hours. “My love, is something the matter?” Sage questioned, glancing briefly at her before focusing on the road.“Not at all. Just wondering why the rogues have being attacking frequently these day,” she muttered but that was far from the truth and he knew better than to believe her. He knew how bad their relationship has been unstable and he wished he could explain it to her. It was for her own benefit but he knew Aurora too well by now she would oppose the idea. He couldn
"Get the cottage decorated, and dinner ready," Sage mind linked Rae. He has decided to pave his way into her heart with dinner since she didn’t want to forgive him after countless apologies and little compliments whenever she had given him a chance to move close to her without moving away. He opted to do little things even though it was just dinner at the cottage.He knew it was best if they didn’t head back there. He had confirmed from Rea through the mind link that they weren’t through and he didn’t want anything to ruin his surprise which would have been an obstacle to her forgiveness. Going for a run was the best way he could stall her so he offered the overture to her, "Why don’t we go for a run?" he smiled nervously, afraid she wasn’t going to agree to the idea and end up deciding they head back.Looking at him skeptically, she tried to figure out what he was up to. She made it clear she hadn’t forgiven him. Didn’t he get the message? Or the silent treatment didn’t work their tr
It was midday and the ruffling of scrub could be heard through the entire woodland as wolf fighters raced to their pack boundary. They had been notified about the rogues that had come to disturb the serenity of the pack. They howled, making a long, loud cry expressing anger. The howlings creak like the sound of wounded animals whose blood spurted from the gash.Taking the lead was Aurora's wolf. Her wolf scooted as she gave a lengthy distance from the shifters, indicating she was faster than them.Apart from her speed, she was also a wolf tracker prompting her to earn the leader of the wolf fighters. Although her wolf was a little bit fragile and wasn't as strong as the male shifters, one could tell she was brave and so was her wolf.Getting to the border of their pack, they stopped at their track when they felt the presence of the rogues. Aurora roared and the rest did the very thing since they couldn't catch sight of rogues, only their scent. "Stay put." Aurora mind-linked her adhe
It was an hour before midnight and Aurora had just finished wearing down her dinner since she and her grandmother had made sure they designed her birthday cake in a glamorous layout to indicate her twenty-first birthday. She looked across the dining table to see Fennick engrossed in playing games while he dipped into a burger beside him. He had been in her cottage for the past an hour, helping them out with gifts and decorations.That had always been her birthday routine every year and she had always had fun. She stood up from her harness and strolled to the sitting room to meet her best friend."It's almost midnight," Fennick uttered sniffing her beside him, his gaze on the motor game he was playing. "I know, I need to rest a little bit." She conveyed hugging the couch pillow to her chest. Fennick stole her glance and returned to his game. "This is your first time complaining on the night of your birthday. What's up with you?" He inquired.Aurora shrugged, "You're ethical, I feel w
Standing at the far end at the top of the mountain, Sage could see his mate, playing and laughing together with another person. He was in pain. He felt like something had just been stung into his heart and he couldn't pluck it out. He was trying hard not to believe what he just heard. For the past five years being out of his pack, he'd always craved to return home and find his precious mate, maybe he had her at his home. However, he'd returned and he'd found his mate the moment he came back which has been the easiest way ever but then, his mate didn't want him.He had come to visit his favourite place which was the spring after missing it for so many years. But, while enjoying the blowing breeze and atmosphere, he smelled the tastiest cherry he had ever smelled. His wolf dangled in his head at the scent and he knew instantly that the scent had come from his long-found mate. He sprang up immediately from where he sat and headed down the mountain where the scent was coming from, hittin
The strong tasty aura hit him and flinched at the feeling that his mate was moving toward the pack building. Although he was standing in the middle of the hall inside the pack building, a bit far from her, he feared she would also smell him as far as he could. Why was she going into the pack building? The aura was getting stronger and stronger indicating she was getting closer and he had to quicken his conversation with the King. "Are you sure about this, Sage?" Alpha Cowell asked. His expression showed that he was bothered. "Yes, Alpha," Sage answered, his head bowed as always. "It's not as easy as you think." Alpha Cowell bellowed."I would love to know the feeling." He uttered, curving a deep smirk on his face. With his voice, Alpha Cowell could detect that he was anxious as well determined."I can't stop you, Sage but you have to think twice about it. Why don't you confirm it with her? She might have her reasons, whereas you don't know who she is yet, you are making rational de
Gwen crossed his legs over each other, his cup of coffee still in his right hand. He tried harder to think of a way out for Sage but Sage's opinions were still the best way to know about Aurora's wish. "It wouldn't be easy when you need your scent back." He conveyed and sip from his cup while Sage watched him. "What you want to do is between life and death," Gwen warned like how Beta Craig and Alpha Cowell did."I'll give it a try." He conceded, making himself comfortable on the sofa."It's not about giving it a try, it's about the consequences.""Do you advise me to give up on her?""I'm not. I only need to remind you that the last person who has hidden her scent from her mate didn't make it when she needed it." Sage groaned. Although it has been years yet, the event played in his mind like it was seconds ago when Gwen mentioned it. As a pup, the teen had hidden her scent from her mate who was once her enemy. She ended up falling in love with him and needed her scent back to feel an
