"He... Marked you?" Ezra asked his mother, his eyes wide in shock."Yes." She shrugged casually.He expected that this would come sooner or later, but he knew that he would never be prepared. But she seemed very happy with it, and that was one thing he truly wanted for her.Nina smiled. "Congratulations mom. I'm so happy and proud of you.""Thank you sweetie. Now Ezra, what do you have to say for yourself?""I don't believe that I will be saying this one day, but I'm happy for you. Or better still, I'm happy that you are happy.""Not like you have a say in the matter." She teased."But it happened so soon. When did it even happen? You were with Bella last night, so I doubt you had any time for, you know..." He shrugged, making her chuckle."It was three nights ago, Ezra.""Oh..." He suddenly stuffed a spoonful of food in Nina's mouth, so as not to look awkward. Michelle only shook her head with a giggle.After breakfast, Nina and Patrick decided to go stay with Bella in the pack hospi
Ezra was surprised when he received an information that Magdalene came to pay him a visit. He had actually invited her over to the pack house, but he doubted that she would come, considering everything she put Nina through.He asked that she should be brought to his office."You came." Ezra stated calmly, relaxing into his chair. "Have a seat." He offered, as she was still standing."I'd rather stand." She insisted. "Did you call me here to kill me?" She asked, not beating around the bush.Ezra just chuckled. "No. I still need you. I want you to reverse what you did to Nina's wolf."Magdalene stared at him quietly for a moment, her expression hard and stoic. "That is the only leverage I have against you. How can I be sure that you will not kill me the moment I leave here?""If you are so afraid of me killing you, why did you come?""I know you need me, so you will not kill me until you get what you want from me.""I am not going to kill you.""The both of us know that you are lying. Y
Ezra felt bile rise up his throat at Jake's rejection. He had expected it, but it did nothing to make him less angry. In fact, he had been raging within since Jake started talking filth about Nina. "What I did to you yesterday will only be the tip of an ice berg if you do not accept her rejection right now." Ezra warned Jake calmly, but the look in his eyes was anything but calm. Nina turned to him, as she noticed a change in his mood. She saw that his claws were beginning to elongate, and he had his gaze dead fixed on Jake. "Ezra..." Nina began, but was cut off by Jake. "You are mine Nina, your body and your mind. The moon goddess made us so..." He was not done speaking when Ezra appeared at his front, his claw stabbing deep into Jakes side, tearing at his stomach wall. "Fuck!" Jake yelled in both shock and pain, his whole body shuddering. Nina had her eyes wide open in horror. She already knew that Ezra had his way of doing things, but she was still apalled by the sight, perhap
"Ezra, I need your help." Nina said to Ezra who sat on the bed, busy on his phone as she entered into the room. "What do you need my help for?" He looked up to see her looking a little disturbed. "I need to learn how to defend myself. I know that I am an easy target, that's why I can be easily abducted. I know that I do not have a strong wolf and would have not been able to stand against Jake, but if I could at least defend myself, maybe I wouldn't have been easily taken, maybe I would have been able to escape on my own. I can't always depend on you to protect me all the time." Ezra got up, surprised at her outburst. Perhaps the thing with Jake had left her disturbed. He walked over to her and wrapped his hands around her waist. "I will not get tired of protecting you, baby." She nodded. "I know. But I still need to learn how to defend myself to an extent. You won't always be there at all times." "If that is what you want, let's get started then." She broke into a smile. "Really
Nina was disappointed with her performance towards Ezra's training. It had only been a day, but she felt like she was never going to learn anything. The only times she actually managed to defend herself from him was when he made it easy for her. He told her not to beat herself up since it was only first time, but she still couldn't help but feel down. "You don't have to bother yourself with this, Nina." Ezra said again as they entered their room. She was sweating and she felt spent up from all the long hours of training, but strangly she didn't feel tired. "Even a human would do better than me." "I'm an Alpha, Nina." He reminded her. "Oh, I was supposed to have an Alpha wolf as well." She rolled her eyes, and he chuckled. "Do you know what the best defense is as a werewolf?" He then asked her, and she shook her head. "Wolfsbane." "Huh? Is that supposed to a defense or a poison?" "It is a poison, which makes it an even better defense. If somebody wants to harm you, the easiest w
Jake sat up on the hospital bed. His hands, head and legs were covered in bandages. He was healing outwardly, but he felt like a dead man inside. His gaze followed the nurse who came to check up on him."I will be leaving today." He declared, his tone leaving no chance for argument.The nurse hesitated a bit, afraid that she might anger him, but then she finally spoke. "I... I'm not sure you are good to go yet, Alpha. We found out that there is a lot of wolfsbane in your system, and your organs are still quite vulnerable. We have done our best to flush most of it out. You just have to wait for the rest to leave your system, and for you to heal properly.""Will I ever be the same again?" He asked, his gaze hard, but she could sight a hint of fear in his eyes, even though he tried to hide it.Her eyes instinctively went to his right hand that half of it had been cut off, she quickly averted her gaze. "Some serious damage had been done and I can't assure you that you will go back to the
Bella took into consideration what Michelle said to her, and she finally decided to call Andrew. He picked up as soon as his phone rang, and her heart raced both in excitement and anxiousness at the thought of hearing his voice."Hey babe." His voice came in casually, making her frown. This was the first time he had even used that endearment on her, and she was normally supposed to blush, but she felt annoyed at the moment. She had expected him to sound a bit more remorseful."Andrew." She called his name, her voice doing nothing to hide her displeasure.She heard him sigh, before he spoke up again. "I am sorry, Bella. I really am.""What are you sorry for?""Not calling or texting, for failing to protect you. I am your mate, and I should do that at all times."She felt rage boil within her. "And you think avoiding me is the best option? I was worried about you. I always imagined what your father would have put you through." She took in a deep breath. "I... I miss you, Andrew.""I mis
Bella was about to go to bed that night when she heard some movements on her bedroom window, together with an enticing familiar scent. She stood up and went to open it, only to meet Andrew. He smiled at her before he jumped in, startling her. "Goodness, Andrew!" She exclaimed, before jumping on him, wrapping her hands around his neck tightly. Andrew picked her up, and she instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist. "I fucking missed you, girl." Andrew said, hugging her tight and inhaling her scent. He felt his whole system relax and come alive at the same time, as her unique fragrance wafted into his nose. Bella then pulled back a little to stare at his face. "Next time you miss me, come see me. Do you understand?" He chuckled, before he nodded. "Yes ma'am." "Why did you come here so late? I thought you weren't going to come again. It's almost eleven." He rested his forehead on hers, nuzzling his nose against hers. "I can't risk having you being mad at me, and I would have n
