Klaus "What the heck was that?" Jenna spat at me before I could follow Scarlett to the backyard door of the club. "You don't have any idea how this news will break and your in-laws are going to make a fuss about this." The last thing I wanted to do now was to explain my plan to anyone, not even Jenna. I needed Scarlett to trust me, she had suffered through a lot. I wasn't there to comfort her when her sister died, she needed me and I left her alone, all by herself though I was supposed to share her pain and soothe her. I have been a ridiculous mate to her but not anymore. Holding Jenna from her shoulders, I looked into her green emerald eyes that were filled with concern for me. "Look, Jenny, I need you to trust me. I know what I'm doing, I've prepared for everything," assuring her, I left her behind and skedaddled to the backyard. As soon as I opened the door, my eyes lurked to where Scarlett sat with Marcus. Her head rested on my cousin's shoulder, his hand cupping her cheeks a
Scarlett I held his hair in my fists, ignoring the fact that it might hurt him. He had hurt me enough not to question the pain I was giving to him. His tongue drew circles between my collarbone and shoulder, in a manner to play with my marking spot which made me wonder what was resisting him to mark me. The excuse he gave me for his irrational acts and thoughts was a bit correct but I didn't want him to take me for granted or as a possession. Being an Alpha had its own fine share of bad traits, and being possessive was one of them. Though I didn’t buy his excuse, I knew that he wasn’t wrong either. All the Alphas in our world were like that, addicted to their powers and obedience but that needed to be changed. After all, the other wolves weren’t just a piece of land or a title to have possession of. The other werewolves had feelings and pride, too. Maybe they were so used to blaming their Alpha nature for whatever wrong deeds they did that they didn’t bother thinking about the o
Klaus For the past twenty-four years of my life, I never slept peacefully and never woke up with a wide smile on my face. Taking a quick hot shower, I dressed in a black hoodie and joggers before shifting to let Todd take a stroll. “You selfish bastard, it’s not for me,” Todd complained, pointing out my thoughts and I giggled at his infantile behavior. He inferred that I wanted to reach the packhouse as soon as possible as I was so interested in today’s training. “As if you don’t want to see our mate or not dream about our mate,” I pouted, knowing my wolf very well. Todd always hopped in my mind and wagged his tail whenever Scarlett’s skin came into contact with mine. He loved her touch, the husky big bad wolf blushed like a puppy because of our mate. Though most of the Alphas lived in their packhouse, we lived in our separate villa to have privacy as many pack families lived in the packhouse in harmony and my father didn’t want to live with the pack members without any rank.
Klaus “Since you’re the direct descendants of the Moon Goddess, it shouldn’t be that tough for you to understand the importance of the mating bond,” I started, peeking at Xavier with a fierce gaze. “The Moon Goddess gives us a mate for a reason and I suppose we should respect it.” Amber’s grip on my hand loosened as I finished my words, probably she didn’t expect me to say that but life doesn’t go according to your expectations. “You bastard, how dare you to reject my sister? Are you even a man if you back off from your word,” Alex spat at me, his body on the edge of shifting into his wolf. His face got covered with the black furs of his wolf. “Language, Alex.” My grandfather roared, not accepting my disrespect. “Damien Nelson,” Xavier snarled. “You can’t raise your voice at my family. Don’t forget your rank.” Everyone was scared of this fight from the day I declared my intentions of not marrying Amber. Six years ago : “It’s not a joke to call your engagement off, Klaus, the
Scarlett It was absurd to have no one on the packhouse ground. I waited until Greg called me to inform me that there won’t be any training today. While coming back, people stared at me and I didn't like this attention after being declared his mate. Coming back home, I found no one in the house but a note that said, “sorry, honey. We’re leaving you alone for a while. Greg and I are going to visit the alpha and Sasha needed to help her friend with a project.” Scoffing at the note, I entered the kitchen and took the water bottle out of the refrigerator, and gulped the water down directly from the bottle. My family had left me all alone on my own, they didn’t even bother to call me or check up on me though Layla, my previous pack’s doctor called me twice. What Aunt Rachel and her husband were doing for me was far more than enough, I was truly grateful to them. Although the note seemed bizarre, my conscience cautioned me that something was amiss. I was starving so I decided to cook
Scarlett “Leave my hand, Klaus,” I warned him, not wanting to feel any spark or any excitement to be precise. He looked into my eyes, trying to decipher the emotions in my eyes but I didn’t want to be understood so I averted my gaze from his dark brown orbs. My right hand raised and impinged on his left cheek, my nail digging into his skin causing the blood to pop out and I heard Marcus gasping. “You demand obedience but I seek the truth and respect,” saying that, I turned to walk further leaving both cousins alone. As I strode, his shocked and pained face appeared across my eyes. I did hurt him but he was doing the same thing since the day I came to his pack. The way he touched his cheek after I slapped him, he couldn’t believe that I actually did that. “I’m the most stupid girl alive in the universe,” yelling this out aloud, my knees knocked over the ground and I broke into tears. Despite how he kept hurting me again and again, I tended the slight pain I gave to him in compariso
Klaus “It takes one passionate kiss to fall in love with your mate,” I whispered in her ear after breaking the kiss, lingering my lips there to remind her what people said about the mates and their kisses. “That’s what I felt when I kissed you for the first time, I knew that I won’t be able to fall out of love and that’s why I chose to push you away from me, my life, and pretended to never care while deep down, I was in pain, too, I was hurting myself, too.” The moment I had decided to get my mate at any cost, I was preparing myself to confess the truth to her. It wasn’t that tough to accept my mistakes and feelings for her, my pride and ego didn’t bother me for the first time. I started confessing, “I saw you standing on your balcony many times with a sad face after your sister's death but resisted the urge to comfort you. I knew that you needed me and only I could share your pain but by not showing up, I wanted you to hate me,” it hurt me even when I uttered that, remembering how
Scarlett “I’m going for the Alpha duel. No one will have to fight for me, it’s my fight and I’ll come back alive just for you, Scarlett,” his voice sounded adamant and sincere, staring into my eyes adoringly. He had the audacity to sacrifice his life, his title, and everything just for me. This was it. That’s what the werewolves are popular for. To sacrifice their life for their mates, to care about their mates the most, to fight for them till their lungs have the air. That’s what Rhea’s stories showed me, the love and the care that mates shared with each other only. That exclusiveness makes the mating bond special and vital. You can’t have that bond with anyone else. And my heart always desired for a mate who would fight for me no matter what, who’ll take care of my heart like it’s his because my heart will always belong to my mate. My lips broke into a delighted smile, I slowly cupped his cheeks and kissed his forehead. Nothing could compare to the peace he brought to my heart
