chapter two

Kai woke up that morning irritated, this could only be linked to own things. His inner wolf.

It was even worse as he was unable to figure out what the problem was.

“Fuck!” He cursed as he got out of bed that morning.

A slight knock on his door made his wolf even more enraged.

Everything got on his nerves that morning.

“Come on in.” He said in a low husky voice.

“Good morning Kai.” Rune greeted me.

Rune was a lost lycan turned friend who had lost his family to those filthy monster, houndras.

Terrifying monsters that had troubled the mundane and the lycan realm for years.

“What do you want?” He thundered.

Rune knew Kai all too well.

“I am sorry to disturb you , but I brought the annual report just as you requested.” Rune said bowing slightly as he handed the tablet with the yearly report to Kai.

“Hundred years!” Kai thundered as he flung the tablet against the wall.

Rune ducked quickly as he avoided being hit in the head.

“I am sorry sir, but we need you to be calm for this sir, we are almost at the verge of being discovered here, the houndras are on our trails and there are rumours of their sightings around the city.”

Kai's anger softened.

“A hundred years after the prophecy,still no mate, no saviour. I am starting to think that we are doomed!”

“We are having another gala today, hopefully you find the one that you seek.” Rune answered.

“But you can't do that, not in this mood of yours.”

Kai's eyes burned with rage but he could not deny the fact that Rune was making sense.

He had given up a long time ago about finding this mate but he pushed on because of the prophecy.

“Fine!” Kai said as he got dressed, “I will be going for a run in the woods, I will be leaving my phone here to ensure that I am not disturbed.”

Rune mumbled under his breath and that caught the attention of Kai.

“What is it this time?” He asked

Rune hesitated but spoke up, “you can't go to the woods, that's the exact place where the rumored sightings have been said to happen.”

Kai's inner wolf was not having any of it, he craved some sort of relief from this rage.

“Drive me to the countryside instead.” Kai requested.

“That should be better my lord, but I seriously advise that we do not leave the safety of the pack house…..”

“Enough!”

“Yes my lord.” Rune said as he hurried out the room to have the car ready.

They made their way out of the pack house and took a long road away from the woods out to the countryside.

Kai's inner wolf was still troubled, something did not sit right with him.

Even worse, something did not smell nice.

“What exactly is it that you want?” Kai muttered as he asked his inner wolf what the problem was.

“Is anything the matter lord?” Rune asked with his eyes focused on the road.

“Nothing,just drive.”

They drove in silence for a while with nothing exciting happening till it made sense to Kai.

“Houndras!” He growled.

“Huh?” Rune said, confused, there was none in sight, at least nine that he could see.

“Stop the car now!” Kai ordered, “turn it around.”

Rune did his absolute best trying to stop a car moving at that speed but all he did was swerve and stop a few inches in front of a car being attacked by houndras.

Kai's rage knew no bounds, he absolutely hated those creatures.

They had destroyed lives, homes, civilizations and now they had made their way into his own city after years of keeping them out.

He growled “Unlock the door!”

Rune obeyed immediately as he stepped out to fight when he was hit with a scent different from that of the houndras.

The scent was like a symphony of wildflowers on a warm summer breeze – sweet, yet subtle, with hints of honey and rose petals.

The aroma wrapped around him like a gentle caress, awakening a primal longing within.

As he inhaled deeper, the scent of vanilla and caramel wafted up, mingling with the musky undertones of skin, leaving him breathless and yearning for more.

“Is anything the problem?” Rune asked as he observed that he stood.

“There is a human around here, find her.” Kai answered.

He immediately transformed into his Lycan as he charged at the houndras.

They were no match for him. In a Matter of minutes they were all dismembered.

“There's more of them here my lord.”Rune called out.

Kai moved like lightning towards the human and let out a loud roar that drew the attention of the houndras around her.

Just like the previous ones, he defeated them easily and rushed to the human lady.

She was drifting in and out of consciousness.

“Thank you…” she muttered.

He felt his breath freeze.

This was a human, he was certain that she was.

Humans didn't have the ability to see otherworldly creatures.

“How did she?” Kia asked Rune who was still in his human form.

Rune shrugged his shoulders, a sign that he was just as confused as Kai was.

The woman let out a loud yelp as she fell into Kai's hands.

The world was full of surprises but nothing would have prepared Kai for what would happen next.

“Mate!” His inner wolf cried as it growled in satisfaction.

He could feel the pull, the connection that held them both together.

He should have known for the moment he could smell her from a mile away.

His wolf wanted her And it wanted her now but he didn't.

She was human.

He held her tightly in his hands, still confused on what to do.

His wolf never lied,but what is he to do with a human?

Kai hated humans, if there was anything else that he hated after houndras, it was humans.

And there he was, holding one in his hands and to make it worse, he was mated to this particular one.

“Should we be concerned that she could see the houndras and you in your form?” Rune asked.

Kai's head was in chaos, “we need to get her to safety first, she's been wounded and she ” He said, “find out something about her, she should have her id in her bag or something.”

Rune dashed to the car and in a matter of minutes he was back.

“There's nothing.”

Kai sighed. He did not want to take this human back to his pack.

“I know what to do, go on, start the car.”

They all hopped in as they drove away from the scene.

It was only a matter of time before the human rescue services arrived.

“Rune…” Kai called, “I need you to find out everything about this lady and no other person should know about this” he ordered.

“Yes sir.”

As they drove Kai was torn between the longing of his inner wolf to have a mate, his hatred for the human species, the ability of this human to see him in his Lycan form and what he was going to do with the already fulfilling prophecy.
