I was almost freezing to death and Malric? His situation was worse, he was shivering and his teeth clattered weakly. He was so drowsy and even without having to observe him for too long, it was clear that Malric had come down with hypothermia already. I had no other choice but to keep Malric warm myself. His wolf must be too weak to generate any heat, but Ginger was more than happy to. For the fear of losing Malric and also feeling indebted to him for saving my life, I took off my shirt, wrapped it around him and laid next to him. I carefully wrapped my arms around his body, my entire frame shivering in storm until I felt Ginger’s warmth emanating from me.Malric’s body that felt so stiff and cold was warmed by Ginger’s heat after a few seconds. Laying so close to him triggered a lot of emotions in my body. I felt a strange sensation pooling at the base of my stomach and my heart suddenly began to thump furiously. I remembered the nights Malric had held me in his arms, that powerl
Alruin I gasped and immediately snatched my hands off him as if I had just touched a livewire. He slowly stared down at his body and didn’t even show a flicker of surprise when he looked up at me again. I saw his face contorted with pain and I placed a hand gently on his wound again. “It’s okay, I can handle the pain.” He grunted, but I didn’t let go.I couldn’t resist the urge to stare down at his body and my heart clenched again. This was so embarrassing! Why did he have to wake up now? “Malric…this is not what it looks like.”He scoffed weakly, “You’d better have a good excuse then, because from the looks of things…” he allowed his words to trail off, plunging me into a state of unrest. “Can you just…for fuck’s sake, close your eyes? I need to clean you up…thoroughly.”He lazily arched a brow at me and asked, “Thoroughly?” “Yes.” I mumbled, unable to meet his eyes.“How thorough?”I sighed and placed my hands over his eyes. I closed mine and cleaned the rest of his body,
AlruinI felt more tense than usual.The stench of death was in the air, like a dark omen following me relentlessly. Each step I took made me shudder, I had never been this scared before. I rushed down the cliff frantically, my heart divided between my duty as a mate and my love for my boyfriend, but I knew that death was certain for Malric if I didn't intervene—Lorak? There was hope…I hoped. The sun’s fervor beat down heavily on my back, making me sweat profusely while it melted the snow and made the rocky path I took flooded slightly. I had to climb over rocks, making sure I didn't take a wrong step and slip—the damages could be fatal. My heart was racing when I got down to the rocky landmass. I searched for a few minutes, but there was no sign of him. My heartbeat surged, my nerves jittered, Ginger was howling in agony, he was more nervous than I was. ‘Call out to him!’I hesitated, “What if I attract those beasts, Ginger?” ‘And if you don't, you might not find him. I can
Alruin Malric didn’t even hesitate.The moment we accepted the situation we were in, he shifted into his wolf again. Ginger felt that overwhelming presence over us. I shuddered slightly, Malric’s wolf carried so much power and aura and without the bond being severed, I felt drawn to him already, but I hid this reaction. I couldn’t show my emotions towards him, not while Miguel was here. At least, Malric had also had the slightest decency to not flip at the mention of Lorak’s name. Miguel was the only thing that had kept us from not throwing words at each other. And now I was worried about him still behind here. He should have left with the others when he had a chance and now I felt guilty because it seemed like I had put his life in danger. Malric stepped beside me and gently pushed me behind him. “Stay there, Alruin…and you too,” his wolf growled at Miguel.I shoved his arm aside with a frown and allowed Ginger take control. The energy that coursed through my body was insta
AlruinWhat the hell was he doing here in the first place?“Malric?” I called softly.He shifted back into his human form, but his clothes had been ripped slightly at his limbs due to his wolf’s enlargement. He looked around before coming towards me. “Are you alright?” He asked, trying to catch his breath.I swallowed and Ginger squirmed slightly in his presence. I nodded, “Thank you for saving me.” I mumbled and glanced at the path he had rushed out from. “How did you know I was in danger? Was your team lurking around?”“No,” he replied with a frown, “We were all heading back to the camp when I got a distress call from my wolf. I found out that these mountains were far too dangerous to travel now and signalled a call to every team to return.” He looked around for Sam and his angry eyes found him. “Didn’t you get the call?” Sam shook his head vigorously, his face was pale with fright. “I must have missed it in the snow storm.” He replied shakily.Malric’s voice dropped to a whisp
AlruinGinger was restless.I could feel danger pulsing in the atmosphere like the very air I breathed. I knew it was dangerous and stupid to advance while the others were retreating, but Lorak was out there. I could feel it! And my conscience wouldn’t let me go back without him. “Alright everyone, that’s the last man. We need to head back to the camp and wait for further instructions from Alpha Malric.” Sam stated and the others were only too glad to turn around. “Phew!” Miguel exclaimed, “Getting to the next terminal was starting to look like a suicide mission.”They all started to walk away when Sam and Miguel suddenly stopped. “Alruin?” Sam called. “What’s the matter?”“Nothing.” I said, staring into the foliage beyond the woods. “You all go on, I will join you later.”Sam walked up to me, a confused look in his eyes, “What’s that supposed to mean? We are all a team and we have to head back together. I’ve called it off, we can’t go further.” “I know that, Sam, but I ca
