Chapter 6.
Darren's POV.I grunted as I hit the punching bag, again and again. I felt more vicious recently. I had successfully killed the Alpha of the Crescent pack for not doing as I say and trying to take over my pack.My wolf enjoyed it the most, I wasn't called the psychotic alpha for nothing. I enjoyed killing and so did my wolf. I've killed lots of werewolves without batting an eye, I didn't even feel sorry for them, it felt like I granted who I killed salvation.Anyone would've felt pity for the werewolves in his pack, but I wasn't just anyone, I took them as slaves, that was the best thing I could do for them, it was the mercy I could show them, though it still went against who I was.I didn't show mercy, it made me look weak, yet for some reason, I felt pitiful when I saw mates together, I couldn't kill them, and their kid, maybe they knew it was my weak spot, that's why they put up a show, but I fell for it, I go soft when I see mates and little kids, it was the only morally right thing about me.I've never had a mate, and I'm 300 years old this year, I've lived centuries without a mate, some say I'm being punished for being wicked, for killing werewolves and other species brutally, I think it might be true, the moon goddess punished me for killing werewolves like me, but what choice do I have when I love killing, I enjoy it so fucking much, the twisted part of me loves it, I revel in doing it, if gives me this satisfaction I don't understand, this calm when I take the life away from them, I enjoy this more than anything.I thought I would be mate-less for life, but that changed suddenly."Alpha we caught a rogue werewolf outside the pack's area." Beta Karl said and I nodded."Yes, yes." My wolf said.It was more excited than me when it came to killing, and now its mood lifted when it heard about the rogue, I killed rogues without blinking."Let's go," I told Karl and he nodded leading the way.I sometimes gave my warriors the satisfaction of killing rogues, but I enjoyed killing them more than the werewolves in my pack, so I didn't bother making them kill the rogues for me, I did it myself.I got ready smiling as I neared the door to the torture room, an alluring scent hit me immediately and I inhaled immediately, my wolf paced around also inhaling the scent.I opened the door, and the scent hit me harder.And I heard my wolf say something I thought I would never hear till I die."Mate." My wolf said.For the first time, I felt different, excited that the moon goddess finally gave me a mate, and surprised at how my wolf loved it. It didn't like things easily, yet it loved our mate just by seeing her."Alpha," Karl called, and yet I couldn't reply. I was stunned, and I kept staring at my mate.I took in her features, her light brown, and her hazel eyes that did the talking for her, it was obvious she knew I was mate too.Then I felt something else I didn't understand at first, another male's scent, it faded, and I realized she was rejected.I gripped the door tightly and she swallowed, I battled with my emotions, it was a strange feeling, something other than the desire to kill.I almost laughed at first, but then I realized I would've been mate-less if the male didn't reject, I was upset someone will reject and hurt her and I promised to kill him, whoever it was, and I was happy he rejected her, she was mine now, and I would never let anyone else have her."Who rejected you?" I asked, unable to help myself, she gasped swallowing.I knew she was scared of me, I just had that thing in me that made people scared."I..I'm." She stuttered."So you were rejected before?" I asked and she didn't reply."And you're my mate," I added and her eyes widened again.I couldn't believe it, I got a fucking rogue for a mate.The moon goddess really hated me, I didn't understand why she would give me a rogue as a mate.I hated rogues a lot, I couldn't even stand them, and I don't care if she is my mate or not, a rogue is a rogue."She's our mate, you need to accept her." My wolf said."I'm not rejecting her, but that doesn't mean I like the fact that she's my mate."I turned my back on her and left the torture room, my head started spinning after my wolf's statement, a part of me was happy for my wolf, and the other wanted revenge, revenge for rogues, I wanted to kill every last one of those bastards, I would gladly take out my anger on my enemies.Rogues did a whole lot to me and I don't care what anyone says, but I won't take pity on them.I made sure I told her my mind, she would regret being my mate, she would wish I rejected her, I won't show her any courtesy.I went to the training room punching the punching bag as hard as I could.I could hear my wolf's voice telling me to stop but I ignored it and kept punching until my knuckles bled.This was good for me. It was better to take it out on the punching bag.I looked at myself and stopped punching the bag, my eyes glowed red, a low growl escaped my mouth.I was losing control, my wolf was going crazy in my body, he was fighting the control.I clenched my fists and took a deep breath, trying to fight off my wolf. I knew it was upset, it had every right to be.I walked into the bathroom, turning the shower on to warm it up, when I stepped under the stream of water the tension in my body relaxed, I closed my eyes breathing deeply as the steam filled my nose.After a few minutes my wolf calmed down, I opened my eyes and stepped out, wrapping my towel around me."You made a mistake moon goddess." I muttered.Chapter 7.Laura's POV."Alpha, the meeting is starting." The Beta came inside the room he left me in, he turned to me glaring hard at me.I swallowed looking away. I still remembered the promise he made to me.He walked out of the room, I heaved a sigh of relief when he walked out, the tension and anger I saw rubbing off on him was scary.I scanned the room looking for anything to keep me busy, I wanted to speak to him about us being mates, but it's obvious he did not like that, the pure undiluted hate I saw in his eyes was evidence enough.I picked the business magazine I saw on the table and scrolled through it, I kept trying to wrap my head around everything once more, I still couldn't believe I had a mate again.Dropping the magazine on the table, I jumped on the bed, inhaling the scent of the bed, it smelt so fresh, better than what I've always slept on, and it was soft, I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.*********I woke up yawning loudly, I looked around the room, and
Chapter 8.Laura's POV.I enjoyed the time I spent with Dean, and since I didn't want to leave the room yet, or go exploring like he offered, I went back to Alpha Darren's library.I didn't want to stay holed up in his room, but I was also terrified of what the pack members would think of me.I was more terrified of him, but I was ready to take whatever he would give to me while staying in the room.I kept getting flashbacks of my life with my old pack and how I wasn't truly living. All I did was swallow and bear whatever they did to me, hoping I'll survive and sometimes I hoped I'd die, but death never came, endless suffering did.I sighed as I dropped the book, tired of reading it, I wondered if he'd come to the room while I was still awake. I hadn't seen him since, it wasn't long, yet I felt so empty, I missed him terribly.I didn't understand why I felt a crazy pull for him, I didn't feel this way for Harold, when he was my mate, it wasn't this crazy, I was only hurt because he re
Chapter 9.Laura's POV.My heart clenched painfully when he walked away, everything he said became clearer to me, he said I would regret being his mate, now I understand, I wished he would reject me, that would be better for me.I didn't want to go through pain again, I was so unlucky with mates, I kept having ones I couldn't stand.I swallowed when I heard the room door open, he walked in staring at me with no emotions, he looked like he had a mission.He stalked me smiling, a smile that didn't reach his eyes. I wonder what he was up to."I actually have a place to go, so if you would like it, you can join me outside." He said and I nodded.I still felt nervous, but yet I followed him out of his room, my heart beat faster, I didn't want to upset him after this display.I was still confused as to why he wouldn't reject me, but he hated me.It seemed like he was attracted to me too, but he didn't like that. I clutched my hands together, still nervous, our hands brushed each other and w
Chapter 10.Laura's POV.I sighed when he left, holding my heart, it was beating crazily, I wondered where I had the guts to talk to him that way.He already showed me how much he disliked me, and I still did that, I knew I was in deep trouble.I could still feel the stares of his pack members, some laughed and I felt humiliated that he left me here."She thinks she's Luna, to talk to the alpha that way." One said and I swallowed feeling extremely embarrassed."She's just a rogue, she's lucky the alpha hasn't killed her yet." Another said and I looked around trying to find a way out of here, I figured I was going to be okay once I stayed in the room.I didn't know my way around, and with the stares and talks I heard, I wanted this ground to swallow me than stand here and hear them talk to me.Suddenly, I remembered how I stood in the middle and my former pack members talked to me and insulted me, it felt like that right now, I swallowed looking away, wishing anyone would come help me,
Chapter 11.Laura's POV.I held my breath releasing it after every one minute as I walked around the pack searching for him. I wanted to tell him how I felt, and also apologize.It was weird to find someone who cared about me or even did something for my benefit, so I couldn't believe it totally.He didn't reject me, I kept repeating this in my head the first day I found out we were mates, I expected another rejection, yet from what I saw, he was upset with whoever rejected me.It made me delightful that I was wanted by someone for the first time, I wasn't discarded or thrown around, like my first mate and my parents who never cared about me.I could see glances from the pack members yet I held my head high, they didn't know me, and I didn't know them either."Hey where are you going?" I turned to the voice, I saw a blonde girl glare at me, and I sighed, wondering what it was."I'm going somewhere." I said finally finding my voice after staring at her for a while."I heard you're the
Chapter 12.Laura's POV.When he said that, I bit my lips and his nose flared."I don't know why you're hot and cold, and why you acted extra nice making me feel close to you, even my wolf likes you, and then you act all cold pushing me away." I sighed."I'm sorry for comparing you to him." I said and he nodded."I'm also sorry for being that way with you, I feel the mate pull so much, and it's really making me crazy for you, and this mate thing is new for me, so it's hard." He said ruffling his hair.I walked closer to him and he inhaled, dragging me with him, we went back inside, he slammed me against the wall.His face came to my neck and he inhaled again, I could feel his smile, he kissed my neck and I shivered at the sensation.His scent filled my nose and inhaled, it was so intoxicating, we kept inhaling ourselves.He brought his face up, tilting mine to meet his, our lips brushed each other, teasingly at first, then we kissed each other with so much fervor, I could feel both of
Chapter 13.Darren's POV.I was pissed that I got interrupted by my nephew, and it was for a matter I didn't want to talk about and wasn't ready yet.They all wanted to talk about Laura, and her status as a rogue, the rules I made years ago, came hit me in the gut, I remembered saying there would be no exemption of any kind when dealing with rogues, yet I had a rogue mate and word passed around that I've been keeping a rogue without doing anything.I planned to tell them she was my mate, yet I remembered my no exception rule.I walked inside the meeting hall, I could see the elders already waiting, they all came, about 50 of them, normally only one person came and aired out his view, yet this must have been so serious for them, they all decided to come.I kept my serious face that screamed, "don't fuck with me." "Good afternoon Alpha." They all chorused and I nodded while sitting down.All I wanted was for them to just say what they have in mind and I will get the chance to leave, th
Chapter 14Laura's POV.I was tired from discussing with Dean, but I decided after we talked for almost an hour that I'll stay with the pack. I wanted to learn more about the pack, so I'll be part of them. I hoped he wanted me here as much as I started loving it here.I waited for a while, I wondered why the meeting took so much time, Dean told me it wasn't a pack meeting, but a meeting with elders.I knew the elders of the pack had hands in lots of decisions in the pack, and I somehow knew that they called him because of me.I hope he wasn't disturbed or forced into making any decision.I tapped my legs nervously as I sat here waiting for Dean, he told me he had something to confirm and I hoped he came back, it was weird sitting here alone.I suddenly remembered the blonde girl and what Dean said about her and I felt a pang of jealousy I didn't know I would feel, I knew he was more experienced than me, he lived for a long time and was way older than me, I blamed the stupid mate pull
