Chapter 27
Flora’s P.O.V
Every single red eyes snapped in my directing in an instant.
Maws were bared, claws lengthened and their lips pulled back over incredibly sharp teeth.
The rogues looked ferocious, animals without mercy. And I had just set foot into their trap.
Clay’s eyes snapped open as soon as he got a whiff of my scent and I knew I had to act before the rogue wolves went to attack him. So I charged towards them with a battle cry and they immediately hounded towards me.
I was thrown back an instant later as one of the wolves tackled me to the ground and then all five wolves were surrounding me, ready to pounce.
I closed my eyes, bracing myself for those sharp fangs to sink into my flesh, but another growl sounded from right behind me, and the one holding me down was suddenly thrown off of me.
Snapping my eyes open, I found Clay’s wolf tearing at the rogue’s throat as blood splattered everywhere.

Flora’s P.O.VDarkness. It was all around me; all consuming and everlasting.As a child, I had always been scared of the dark. Maybe it was the absence of the moon that made me feel like the Goddess has withdrawn her blessing from me; or maybe it was the ghostly stories that Riley used to scare me with when I was a child. But darkness was always something that frightened me…suffocated me.But this darkness didn’t suffocate me. This darkness was…caring; filled with love.Clay…He was nearby, I could feel it. There was something about Clay…a kind of warmth to his aura…something that called to me. It was that same gut feeling that led me to him when he was in trouble. And now, in this darkness, it was that same feeling that was leading me to light.I didn’t know how long I had been out for but it was time to wake up…to see Clay with my own two eyes and make sure he was

Flora’s P.O.V“Flora.”“Clay!”I was in his arms an instant after he entered through the door, right after Alpha Nicolai left and all my worries and fears were instantly forgotten.Clay’s arms wrapped around me tightly as he came to sit on the infirmary bed. I took in a deep breath, taking in the earthiness of his scent along with a hint of spice. I was so glad that his scent was no longer mixed with the metallic tinge of blood. He was safe and I was in his arms. That was all that mattered to me.“Oh, God! Thank God!” Clay whispered as he pulled away and cupped my cheeks with his hands. His beautiful eyes were filled with worry as he took me in and then he was showering my face with kisses, from my forehead to my nose, my cheeks and then finally my lips.It felt like…I was able to breathe again.The kiss wasn’t hungry and passionate like the way he always ki

Flora’s P.O.V“Clay…where are we going?”“Shhh…no questions.” Clay’s breath fanned my cheek as he turned back to look at me. “You’ll ruin the surprise.”“Really?” I held up my tied hands to what I assumed was in front of his face. “Because this looks like an abduction.”Clay’s laugh was like a fresh burst of sunshine and I could hear birds chirping in the distance, as if they too were delighted by the sound.“It’s not my fault you wouldn’t sit still and kept reaching for the blindfold.” He said. “Consider it a precautionary measure.”“Or I’m being led to a villain’s secret lair where I’d be forced to have an unforgettable experience…?” I provided.“Oh, I’m counting on it.” There was laughter in his voice as he carried me through unk

Flora’s P.O.VI slept with my head on Clay’s shoulders, the soft picnic blanket under me and a light cover thrown over our naked bodies. Clay was staring up at the evening sky quietly while his hand traced lines on my sides, the gesture almost unmindful. My palm was spread over his heart as I listened to the steady beat, happy to be engulfed in the warmth of his body, but even I could feel the strain in his shoulders, the stiffness of his muscles.“What’s wrong?” I asked, patting him on the chest lightly. “You’re unusually quiet.”Clay turned to me with a small smile and kissed my forehead lightly. “It’s nothing, just thinking.”“Your birthday is in a week,” I said quietly, sinking deeper into him to feel his warmth. I don’t know if it was the night air or the chilling realization that we were almost out of time that had me feeling numb all over, but my be

Flora’s P.O.VThe dress I wore was a soft pink in colour and made with a gorgeous shiny material. The top was a slight v-neck, sleeveless and form fitting up to my waist then it flowed into the skirt that reached just past my knees. But the most beautiful feature were the golden vines that were embroidered all over the dress, giving it a vintage look.Since I hadn’t taken off the necklace he had given me, it was going to be the only piece of jewellery I’d decided on wearing, except for the watch on my right hand.I’d kept my makeup light and neutral and pulled my hair up in a ponytail, with a few strands hanging in front of my face. I’d also paired the dress with golden heels to match the patterns on my dress. Everything seemed perfect.“Flora?”A knock sounded on my door, followed by my mother’s voice. Putting aside the hair brush, I called for her to come in.“Oh my! Yo

Flora’s P.O.V“Mate…”They were the words I’d feared the most. But what I hadn’t even anticipated was happening in front of my eyes.I hadn’t known true fear until I saw the person who had spoken those earth-shattering words…Dorothy. Dorothy Summers. Ruth…My best friend…Ruth was Clay’s mate…It felt like the ground had moved from underneath my feet and I was falling down an endless black hole with no way out and nowhere to escape to.“He isn’t your mate.”“Do you even know if you guys are mates?”“You slept with him…you should be able to tell the connection.”“There’s not much time left…get out while you still can.”All the warnings, all the omens that were given to me, they now echoed inside my h

Clay’s P.O.VFlora’s friend, Dorothy, stared at me with wide eyes as I moved closer to stand in front of her. Everyone had gone quiet as they watched my next move but my mind was clear.I had thought the transition would be difficult. That the pull of the mating bond would force me to love someone else eternally. That everything I felt before the mating ceremony would vanish in a heartbeat, leaving me with only one woman in my mind…my mate.But I never had to worry.“Clay…” Dorothy whispered; her dark brown eyes filled with adoration.I gave her a polite smile before taking her hands in mine. I needed all the strength I could get right now, because I was about to do something that no one had ever attempted to do before.“Dorothy,” I told her kindly. “You are a wonderful person and one day, you will find the one you are truly meant to be with. But I’m afraid that&r

Flora’s P.O.V I felt dead inside, like there was no meaning left to my life anymore. If this had been anyone else then I could’ve questioned the mating bond; could’ve fought with the gods itself to claim my Clay. After all, how could a bond make complete strangers fall in love with each other? But these weren’t strangers. This was Dorothy, my best friend; the woman I considered my sister. And Clay, the man I had given my heart to. I knew now that breaking up with him before his birthday had been the correct decision. It had been a doomed relationship from the start. Let’s break-up…until twelve. I wanted to laugh at how delusional we had been. There was no way around a mating bond and once it sets in place, there was no way to reject it. Clay had told me several times that he would reject his mate for me, but I had left as soon as Dorothy had uttered the words I had never thought I would hear her say about Clay
