Chapter 19
Troy sat next to me, and didn’t say anything for a while. I was so embarrassed, confused, and quite surprised thinking back on that conversation that Theo put up with me at all.
“I’m sorry you heard all that…” I squeaked out.
Troy turned his eyes on me and let out an empathetic sigh, “When Rowan finds his mate, he won’t feel anything towards you either…. But you need to let him go, so he searches.”
I never thought of it like that, I had been holding Ro back. He was so focused on me, on us, that he hasn’t really tried to find his mate. I knew Theo and Troy would be there for him, but I wasn’t sure how we would get from here to fine again. If I broke his heart, I would have to sacrifice the only friend I had left here.
Troy cleared his throat, “I won’t pretend to know the kind of pressure Theo is under, and I know you never asked for my advice, but the Moon Goddess always has a

As soon as we arrived at the Carnival the atmosphere was light and fun filled, the air filled with scents of sweet treats and playful but competitive, testosterone. There were little pups running from food booth to food booth, couples completely immersed with each other, and older members of the pack just taking it all in.I walked with Troy through the crowds for a bit, taking in everyone’s excitement and anticipation. We stopped to grab a drink from one of the many vendors when I noticed Troy's face was not as chipper as everyone else's and I immediately felt guilty."I'm sorry you are stuck babysitting me today instead of enjoying this with Cheyenne," I said softly to Troy."I'm happy to be here with you Octavia," he smiled at me, "she will be here all day with me tomorrow.""Will you still be happy here if we are on the Ferris wheel?" I asked mischievously as I glanced behind him to where it stood. I knew he wasn't a huge fan of heights, but it

My eyes fluttered, and his words hit me as the intoxicating smell from earlier became more prominent and felt as if it encompassed my whole body. Rich coffee, the kind that rips you from a deep sleep and awakens your senses, mixed with a sweet type of cinnamon and strong, but soft, oak.“Well hello… mate.” A rough voice I had never heard before, rang out in my head caressing my every nerve, it was deep as the ocean and smooth as silk.Echo. Lost. Her. Shit.My eyes were barely opening, struggling to flutter as Echo was screaming mate over and over again in my head. I was encompassed by the scent, it was all so overwhelming, was I sitting? Echo fell silent as another electrifying ripple coursed through my temple and down my chin.My eyes began to focus, and I was met with the most intense green eyes I had ever seen. Flecks of green floated in an emerald sea, strands of reddish brown hair with a touch of burnt orange swooped in front of h

Kallan was swift in his movements, leaving me feel oddly alone as I watched his hand wrap almost fully around Ro’s throat, lifting him slightly from the ground so only his toes carried his weight. My body felt uncomfortable as Kallan's anger radiated higher, and my brain was still trying to catch up to what was happening. Ro's eye's refused to land on me as he snapped his vision to the ground and just accepted his fate.“Tell me why I shouldn’t snap your Beta’s neck?” Kallan's voice was booming and loud, as he stared directly at Theo, “His scent is all over my mate.”Before Theo could say anything, Ro’s body was off the ground completely, my heart wrenched in fear. I wasn’t in love with Ro, but I did love him as someone I grew up with, as a best friend. Something came over me, some sense of fearlessness or possibly stupidity, fueled by the utter fear that was making it hard to breathe.“Don’

Kallan lowered me into front seat of his vehicle and got into the driver's seat, which I found odd, but never questioned. We pulled away from the carnival and Echo was practically purring inside at being alone with Kallan, but I just kept my eyes peeled forwards, unsure she should be so excited. Didn't she know who this was?I was still in shock, I felt numb and unable to process the full effect of what was happening still. I was travelling away from my home, it's what I always wanted, but now I was surrounded by cruel men, the worst of who, somehow the Moon Goddess had fated me with.I tried to focus on the scenery, but I must have zoned out completely because it was getting dark, which meant we had been travelling for upwards of 4 hours. How far was the territory for the Timber pack? I didn’t even know, there had been rumours, but their territory is so large that no one really knows where Kallan stays. I could feel his stare radiating tiny shocks my way as he t

I walked with caution down the hall and as I turned the corner Kallan startled me, I tried not to let it show but I took a sharp breath in as I seen him standing in front of me. He was leaning against the table as if he had been waiting on me.His full attention was roaming my body, I could tell Echo would be useless as I tried to focus on something else, distracting myself from the mate bond trying to pull us together. I could feel my legs light up under his view and realized how wildly inappropriate this was, to be walking around his men and him with bare legs.I was kicking myself for never fully thinking through my clothing choices, as my cheeks grew hot and I locked into his green eyes that were darker than before. I quickly drew my attention down to the ground, maybe submission would be enough for mercy."I'm so sorry, I'll change," my voice came out soft as I turned on my heel to find something else, when his hand grasped mine.He turned me around as h

Kallan's POVI hadn’t slept much, but I didn’t mind, Sabre paced all night wanting me to wake this little mate of mine from her sleep for all kinds of reasons, but I wanted to get her back home first. We had already been gone too long and we weren’t well protected here. With the news of my mate sure to travel fast, we didn’t have much time. Six years I've waited, which has felt like an eternity, and all I wanted was to scoop her up every chance I had, but I knew my reputation could pose as a problem. I watched her as she slept, spending most of the night recalling the days events, wanting to replay the moment I found her over and over.When we finished the Alpha meeting, I wanted to leave before I ended up in a war that would cost my territory men. I was so tunnel visioned I might have missed her, but Sabre knew the second we left that building. I followed her faint, sweet scent as I made my way through the crowds of

Octavia's POVI woke up in the morning afraid to move or breathe too heavily, but I couldn't smell Kallan's scent. As I slowly opened my eyes and sat up, I discovered I was alone, I guess Kallan hadn't slept here overnight which stirred an odd feeling of sadness in me, but I pulled myself up and together for the day. I was grateful to see that my bag had comfort clothes, and slipped on a basic T-shirt and jeans, throwing a zip up hoodie over top and slipping into some sandals before I threw my hair up into a ponytail.I decided to leave the room, unsure of what would happen either way, but when I left I noticed that I was under constant watch. There was a guard posted outside of the door again, and as I walked, he followed. He wouldn't look me in the eye, but also never let his sight drift lower than my shoulders. It made me feel uneasy, were all of the men going to be like this, what was I truly going to be met with when we reached Kallan'

Luna.Something I had never even considered before the week leading up to my 18th birthday. Not only was I mated to the most dangerous person I knew, but now I would have to potentially lead and be responsible for people. Luna to a pack full of savages who took over entire territories and killed for the littlest offense.Luna was something I never wanted, it was something that tied you down and made you responsible for everyone, not just yourself. I had a hard enough time being responsible for me, but I'm getting ahead of myself. I had no clue what Kallan's intentions were or what my actual role would look like, if I had a role at all.I should be more concerned with pressing matters, like what tonight will entail. Most mates are already marked and mated by now, most Alpha's would have done it regardless of consent. I don't know why he was waiting, I was extremely grateful but it also made me anxious.I didn't know how to be alone with him, an
