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
Klaus “Klaus,” a raspy moan filled my ears as I carved my teeth into her neck. Todd took over for a second, my canines elongated and the marking process started. I sucked her blood as it popped out when I bit hard on her marking spot. Todd was a violent wolf who loved the taste of our mate's blood whilst I was worried about the pain we were giving to her. "This pain will bring pleasure in the end when the marking process will be finished," Todd scowled and rolled his eyes at me. Her grip on my neck tightened and her nails dug into my flesh deeper which aroused me more. A slight action from her could make me hard, she was so unaware of her effect on me. Tasting her sweet blood in my mouth, I took my lips away from her neck for a second to look at her. “Mine,” Todd growled, being possessive fu-kboy as he was before returning to his place. She had closed her eyes, throwing her head back and she didn’t even have any idea how hot she looked while doing that. I watched her parting her l
Scarlett “The King seeks your presence, my princess,” an old lady bowed to me. The ivory white walls of the palace seemed strangely familiar as if I had grown up in that palace and cried between the four taffy pink walls of my room. Throwing a last glance in the mirror, I adjusted my diamond tiara before nodding my head in approval, satisfied with my looks. The peach satin gown with frills at the top around my shoulders made me look like a royal princess. The silver stone-studded, multi-layer necklace matched perfectly with my dress. As I made my way out of my room, one of the maids trotted hastily to me with matching peach gloves in her hands. “Princess, be careful. It’s a big day and nobody should touch you except your mate,” she informed, helping me with wearing the gloves and a diamond ring. Mouthing thank you to her, I descended the stairs only to find the royal throne coated with the blood and a dead wolf’s head on the pinhead of a sword. The scenario scared the shit out of m
