Chapter Six

Brielle’s POV

The kiss seemed to ignite a special kind of fire in my body. I closed my eyes fearing it was one of those really realistic dreams people had and that I would soon wake up from it. But I was soon snapped back to reality when I felt myself being lowered down.

It’s real! It was fucking real!

I felt his hands tug at my panties from under my dress but my thoughts were too fuzzy to think about caring. My eyes tore open in shock when I noticed his large hand wrap around my neck;

“Where are you guys?” Zane called out. Snapping both of us out of the moment.

“How… what… how?” Lucien stuttered. He seemed confused and disoriented like I was. I was just as lost too, my hips still trembling from the pressure within them.

“Zane, one moment!” Lucien ran towards his brother's voice while he dressed.

“Was I this damaged?” I asked myself. At that moment, I had no control over my impulses or my emotions. I knew about a mate impulse but I never expected it to be that extreme.

“Brielle! Are you coming or what?” Zane shouted out to me. I snapped out of my thought cycle and got dressed.

“Where are we going?” I asked when I caught up with the brothers.

“Our final destination, we are not that far,” Zane responded. I turned to Lucien, to get some clearance from his expression. But, he turned away just before I could.

“Let's go,” He muttered without even lifting his head.

We walked in silence towards the border, as they called it, the Great Wall. I knew of how safeguarded packs were but I had never seen a security force as tough as that.

“Alpha Lucien,” A guard who seemed to be stationed at the top of a tall tree voiced.

“Can you come down here?”Zane responded. And in an instant, a tall man stood in front of us.

“Sirs!”He saluted.

“What happened here and where is the rest of the force?”Zane asked. I detected a strong stench of blood coming from all over the forest and it sent out a scary aura that immediately enveloped the entire region.

“Raiders stormed the city by the entrance, we managed to push them back. They came in really fast,,” The soldier announced with his head bowed.

“I'm sorry Alpha Lucien,”

“Don't be. You came out of it with your life and body parts intact. I'm proud,” Lucien commended the soldier whose face beamed up.

“We can't allow these savages to raid us anytime they want, brother. They must be stopped!”Zane voiced angrily.

“Agreed,” Lucien muttered with a thinking pose.

“No worries Sir, we have this area secured. You can go in with your guest,” The Soldier said.

The brothers smiled at him as we walked away from the spot.

“Open the gates!” Lucien commanded as we got to the gate with an eclipse symbol on it.

The huge gates sprung open and the scenery I was met with amazed me. I felt different like I was in a whole new universe packed with beautiful buildings and neatly tiled roads.

“It's beautiful,” I muttered without thinking.

“If you think this is nice, wait till you see the estate,” Zane said to me with a smile.

A black SUV immediately stopped in front of us.

“Go in,” Lucien commanded. His thick masculine voice snapped me back into consciousness.

“Where are we going?” I asked, looking around like a lost puppy.

“Home,”

I got in and within a minute we arrived at the biggest estate I had ever seen. The gates were made of gold and the walls were as high as the city's.

“Is this the Alpha’s estate?” I asked Zane with my head stretched out the window to soak in the beauty of the mansion. .

I stood lifeless admiring how busy it was, workers buzzed around, performing different duties.

“Don't be so wowed, act natural,” Zane whispered in my ears. His voice was soothing and calming. I smiled at his remark and turned to Lucien who walked ahead. The workers stared as we walked up to the main room, their whispers followed my every step.

"Let's not try to drag in too much attention,"

"Too late, brother," Lucien muttered as he turned to the ladies who giggled and stared at Zane with lustful eyes.

“Come on Lucien, you know I can't hide my glow. I am who I am,” Zane responded and both brothers chuckled softly.

“Are you okay?” He asked with his hands holding onto mine.

I smiled in response, I felt really safe with him but for some unexplainable reason, my mind wouldn't let go of Lucien. I felt obsessed with him already from just the first encounter.

I have heard of the bond's obsessive connection but I never thought it could be that severe. I was already driven crazy from just thinking about the scenario.

“You are back,” A lady said. Her radiating skin was the first to cat h my attention before the amazing shape that followed.

“Yeah, we are back,” Lucien responded, reciprocating with a smile. My body tingled as jealousy began setting in.

“I missed you,” She said before wrapping her arms around her. At first, I thought she was going in for a kiss. My heart raced unexpectedly as I tightened my grip on Zane's hand instinctively.

A little sense of calmness came when they hugged. Her grip around him and the way he succumbed to it made me even more uncomfortable.

There was something wrong, the feeling didn't come from me but something within me that felt upset. My wolf infact, something I hadn't felt since birth.

"Why are you growling?" Zane whispered a question with a curious look.

"I am?" I retorted, unaware of the slow burning growls that erupted from my guts. My voice caught the attention of the lady who walked up to me curiously.

"Where did you pick up this stray?"

Her question shot within me in a furious rage. The growls got even louder as I stared back at her, unaware of what I could do next.
