Chapter 32
I tried to take in Eathen's words slowly, the pain of them was becoming too much to bear. I couldn't help but feel I wasn't living up to mate expectations, not that it was all on me, I didn't expect my mate to be the most dangerous wolf alive.
“He would never hurt you Octavia,” Eathen's words came out like he could read my mind, before he raised an eyebrow and cocked his head to the side a bit like he was thinking to himself, “Sabre however, probably would have killed Rowan and brought you back his head had he managed to break through.”
My eyes were opened all the way, I was searching his face for signs that he was joking. He wasn’t. Eathen's jaw tensed and his voice returned to being rigid.
"I'm going to ask you something... you need to be honest." My chest felt heavier but I nodded, I wouldn't lie, that wasn't who I was.
"Are you... pure... Octavia?" His words were monotone as he searched my eyes for any sign that I was abo

When I peeked out of the door Elle was waiting for me, as were two other men who I assumed were guards. She made an 'aww' face at me as she walked slowly down the hallway,checking to make sure I was following.It seemed much larger in here than I had noticed last night, the walls were all painted a soft white color with grey edging, it made everything look crisp, clean, and high end. It lacked a certain decor aspect I was used to, but it had a more relaxed feel to it, other than the guards who kept following us. Elle smiled as she caught me glancing their way, slowing her pace to match my own and walk more even with me.“Don’t mind them Luna, they have to follow you.”They have to follow me? I went from being locked up all the time, to being followed all the time, great. We walked down a few flights of stairs and took an immediate left into the kitchen. There were multiple fridges and stoves, at least one walk in pantry, and a co

When I looked back at Elle, she stood from her chair without even glancing my way, took a few steps back from me and looked at the ground just as the guards did.His smell hit me like a brick wall, how did he smell THIS good? I closed my eyes, too busy being completely consumed with taking in that thick coffee smell laced with a rich cinnamon cream, and there it was… oak, to care about what happened to me.He spun the chair I was on around to face him, staying seated was not a great plan, I was even shorter than usual compared to him now. I could see just past his outline as the guards left, and Elle hurried beside Eathen as they left too.We were alone now, my heart race picked up with no way to temper it, my whole body felt anxious, dying to reach out and feel his sparks. His chest let out a low rumble, snapping my attention up to meet his eyes.Ugh, his eyes. His impossibly deep green eyes. I tried to read his face, but the only clue I had

His eyes would easily make me lose myself and lose track of time. The glitter would swirl for me, reactive to my every movement, and made the mate bond feel thicker and tighter with every glance.The afternoons in his office have me too much time to think, I wondered what we were doing here, if I was in danger it didn’t feel like it, but it didn’t feel like I fit in here either. He was removed from me since the other night, almost like he was walking on eggshells around me, when it should be the other way around. The only comfort I had was that he coexisted with me at all, and that supper would soon come and relieve some of the awkward silences between us.I’d get to eat supper with Kallan, Eathen, Elle, and his Gamma, Nicholi. Nicholi was around Eathen's height and build, with short sandy brown hair, and the same kind of deep blue eyes that Eathen had. The three of them looked terrifying together, all riddled with scars and tattoos spreading over the

I instantly regretted what I said, I knew who, there was only one person he would be asking me about. His stare intensified and I could feel the waves of emotions rippling through me as his lips parted.“He has a mate out there somewhere,” I cut him off hurrying my words. He was finally willing to have this conversation with me and I almost ruined it. I was fully awake now, trying to tread carefully as we continued.“Do… you… love… him…” he repeated slowly.As I stared annoyingly at him, something twinged in my stomach, and I spoke in a hushed but assertive tone, “No.”He got up from his chair and walked so slowly to me that I didn't dare assume what was about to happen. I was both terrified and excited. Echo was pacing and begging me to make contact, he reached out and lifted my chin slightly, sending those sparks I longed from down my body, as he studied my face.“Would you lie

I didn't understand why Eathen was just standing there, and not opening the door. My chest was heavy and anxious, as something took over me and I walked past Eathen without a second thought, opening the door with urgency.My eyes were frantic as the door swung open, Kallan grumbled in annoyance, "Eathen, I-" he stopped as his eyes caught my own. His eyes locked on mine, his scent lulling my panic, as he sat back in his chair. His shoulders relaxed from the tense position they were in, and he smirked at me."Whewwwww, now I see why you've locked yourself up for days brother," a voice rang out to my right. My head snapped to look at him as another voice from the same direction followed."Pft," he knocked into the other boy's shoulder, "she doesn't even have a mark yet!" They both rolled in laughter, erupting an even stronger rumble from Kallan's chest as he stood up."OUT, NOW!" Kallan demanded as he slammed his desk. The boys didn't hesitate to leave the r

When we got back to Kallan's room, well I guess it was 'our' room, Elle was waiting for me. She came to help me get ready for the dinner, and was way too excited for it, I think mainly because it involved getting me out of Kallan's shirts."Do you come to these too?" I asked her, not really sure why I had to go to this, my mother never would have attended any kind of pack discussions, and having Elle there would definitely make it easier."No, just the Alpha, Luna, and Beta usually attend," she smiled at me, "but I'd go if it meant I got to wear your dress!" Her eyes were full of excitement as she plugged in some hair tools and started forming better curls in my hair. My hair would have to be down as usual, and I did my makeup light with gold accents because I had no clue what my dress looked like.Elle paused while doing my hair and looked like she was deep in thought, "Something wrong Elle?" I asked making her blush."I have to admit...I wasn't su

"Alpha Garrett," Kallan boomed.I hadn't seen Kallan in full Alpha mode until now, his voice ignited my nerves and made me want him more. His power radiated through me alongside the sparks as he kept me snugged to his side. I had to distract myself, and shove Echo to the far back, or I'd be alerting the room to my arousal soon.I tried to focus on the least arousing thing, Garrett. At the dance I remembered everyone seeming so large, so intimidating, but next to Kallan they were mere puppies. I smirked as I caught Eathen sizing up Garrett's Beta, as if he needed to. Eathen was monstrous even compared to Garrett. Garret was a few years older than Kallan, but he seemed much older, his hair was already graying, and he had an exhausted look on his face all the time."Alpha Kallan, Luna," Garrett seemed to brush past acknowledging Kallan like he should, nodding at me with a slight smile, "good to see you again."I thought Kallan was going to be at the very lea

Kallan's POVI needed this night to be over with, Garrett had already asked, and failed, for the other Alpha's support in claiming some of my territory. He was adamant it belonged to him, now he wanted to come and try to make a deal.When I opened the door to bring Octavia down, she was stunning. The sight of her alone made me want to cancel everything and ravage her where she stood instead.The seamstress had not disappointed with this dress, it would surely test Garrett as well, and perhaps give me reason to end his life.Her creamy vanilla scent filled my nose, and all I wanted was to scoop her up in my arms. She ran her hands down my lapel as she cooed sweet nothings at me, but all I could see was her dress covering her neck. Sabre protested at the sight, but I knew if Garrett caught wind that she was unmarked, I would have a problem on my hands."The dress will hide your lack of mark, but Octavia," I started, lifting her chin, a
