I tapped my fingers nervously against my thighs as I sat in my room.
Now that night had fallen, I had to get out before they carried out their plan. I stood up and put on an enormous hoodie. I zipped up the hood and picked up my backpack. I kept my head down as I moved through the hallways because I didn't want anyone to recognize me. I didn't want to risk anything. Anywhere maybe Ray and his friends.
Nobody would oppose their attempt to forcibly remove me because no one gave a damn about the loser or the lonesome. They didn't even bother to blink an eye toward me.
Without anyone noticing, I snuck out of the door. I heard someone conversing not too far from where I was as I walked farther down the path to enter the woods.
I crept behind a tree to see who was there and peered out.
Why is he taking so long? I overheard a hurried voice say, followed by a puff of smoke from the speaker.Who knows? A different voice responded.
Ray.
With his buddies, he was present.
I then heard shouting as I heard approaching footsteps. They were referring to me.
"Where's she at? Ray questioned in a hurry.
"We searched all around.
"She is not at home." Someone answered
She is nearby somewhere. Disperse and find her. Ray commanded, "We'll meet back up at the cabin," and everyone scattered in various directions.I fled as soon as they vanished since it relied on my life in this instance. Because if they ever achieved their goal, I would be even more lifeless on the inside than I already was.
I moved through the woods as quickly as my legs could. I could hear the nocturnal animals, including owls, wolves, and other noises I couldn't identify. I was motivated to keep moving forward by my fear of the woods and my greater fear of being discovered.
I must have been moving at a fast pace for several hours. I had already escaped the pack's boundaries and ran in an arbitrary direction.
I had no notion what lurked in the darkness because I had never ventured outside the pack's boundaries. The kind of wolves that resided in the uncharted land was described in legends. The rogues killed my mother years ago, so I've already had my run-in with them.
I tried to keep as quiet as possible so as not to attract any unwanted notice. The rogues were violent werewolves who would murder without provocation. They frequently caused problems. They had no one to rely on because they weren't loyal to anyone.
They were expelled from the pack for a variety of reasons, including their inability to obey commands and attempts to overthrow their alpha.
I had become a rebel. Even though I was innocent, I was suddenly seen as a threat, and anyone who came across me would not think twice about killing me.I spent a very long time walking and running. The darkness was slowly dissipating, and the light was gradually taking its place, so I knew it was now morning.
I heard a person cry.
"There's one over here."
I halted my motion and started looking for a hiding place. I looked around and realized I was in the midst of this area, with nowhere to hide.
An authoritative male voice shouted.
"Don't make any sudden moves," followed by a growl.
I stopped in place, my eyes wide with terror. A large brown wolf was coming my way. I held onto my bag's straps and kept an eye on it as it moved.
As it made a circle around me, it radiated strength and authority. It abruptly stopped in front of me and showed its teeth. Its eyes were a stunning ocean blue, and they spellbound me.
I felt as though I were under a spell. He also looked back into my brown eyes as the world around us vanished. His look became even more intense, and I could hear something reverberating in my head. I couldn't do it.
Under his gaze, I felt all warm and fuzzy. He kept staring at me, which made my spine tingle. I couldn't help but smile at the wolf's beautiful head tilt as it happened.I got attacked by the wolf, which made me fall to the ground backward. The wolf had quickly changed into a guy, a very naked man who was standing on top of me.
I was too embarrassed to look anywhere else, so I forced my eyes to focus on his face while I blushed hysterically.
He was gorgeous. I could get lost in his eyes, which had an oceanic quality when I stared at them for a while. On top of his head, his silky black hair was a jumble, with a few loose strands hanging on his forehead.
He frowned at me with a lovely grin as his long lashes fluttered on his cheek. He had thick lips, high cheekbones, and a clean jawline. Overall, he was flawless. He briefly closed his eyes, a groan from his lips as I raised my hand to run through his hair because I had been dying to do so. His eyes had a gold rim when he opened them again.
One word, four letters, that he said after opening his mouth altered my life.
"Mine"
Marina's POV "What?" As his words began registering in my brain, I queried after emerging from my stupor. "I'm not mine. Get the hell away from me, pervert. I replied as I pushed him away from me. He seemed upset by this, as he quickly pinned my hands above my head. He said once more after casting me an evil glance. "You belong to me! No matter how you feel about it. Mate. "He grumbled with irritation. As soon as he said the word "mate," I froze. Was he my partner? Was I his girlfriend? It was now beginning to make sense. I was aware of the familiarity in him as well as the warmth and security I had in his embrace. His odor was both seductive and addictive. He had a little vanilla scent and the smell of the woods. The sparks that flew up my arms as he was holding me should be enough evidence if his scent and comfort weren't. As a shiver ran up my spine, I had a warm, tingling sensation in the pit of my stomach. My mind was filled with a voice that kept repeating the wo
I let up a little when I realized he wasn't taking me back to my pack. But eventually, it became clear. I kept thinking , "I never want to go back to that pack," While I dealt with the rejection and shame. North Pack. The world's most potent pack, to be exact. The pack's leader was rumoured to be ruthless and heartless. Trespassers on his property were promptly laid to death. I wasn't ready to be his next victim because I had heard all the stories about how many people he had murdered. Nobody outside of his group is aware of his appearance. I heard that he liked to keep his appearance a secret whenever he left his pack. I don't have my sights set on his as, well. "Just let me out, please. I didn't mean to trespass; I wasn't trying to cause any issues. Don't take me to your alpha, please. I cried out, "I don't want to die. When the word "alpha" was mentioned, he momentarily became stiff but soon became comfortable. Please. Marina replied, her voice filled with dread and a deep
Marina's POV II remained in the room. My asshole of a friend had abandoned me. I got to my feet and looked around because I had nothing else to do. The room appeared to belong to a friend, and if the stench was any indication, it was his room. I could only make out the shades of grey and black. The color was not at all his thing. His place was so gloomy like it lacked any personal touches. Just a few touches of paintings were added after he had everything he required. Even though this room may have seemed gloomy, it was nothing compared to how sad my "chamber" actually was. It was the most luxurious room I've ever had the pleasure of inhabiting that didn't require cleaning. When I heard a voice say, "Hello," I turned to face the entryway. It wasn't until now that I noticed someone had entered the room. A girl with dark curly hair and caramel skin was standing in the doorway. She was probably 5'4" tall. She had pouty lips, a straight nose, and honey-brown eyes. She was l
Sophia reprimanded Luna, saying, "Luna, you know you shouldn't talk that way to Marina." I can do anything I want, she said. Snapped. Luna stood up from the stool she was seated on and approached me. As a predator would do to its prey, she surrounded me.Luna spits out "Pathetic human" in disdain. I muttered, "I'm not a human. "And what was that? I had trouble understanding it, "She remarked with a sly grinI declared that I was not a human. Right, she said stutteringly. "He is not what you deserve! Do. You are pitiful and feeble. You can never satisfy him as much as I can, "Luna murmured. My heart felt like it broke into a million pieces at hearing her words. She had slept with Alpha Ryan. And here I was, saving myself for a partner who couldn't maintain her underwear. I woke up with wrath; I've never felt so angry. I suddenly turned around and threw her to the ground, as if something had taken control of me. I jumped on top of her and punched her repeatedly. She was prese
Marina's POV I tried to get everyone away from me by saying, "I need some space, " so I could treat the youngster. As they moved away from me, I checked the youngster to see how seriously hurt he was. I gasped in horror as I observed the child's features. On his hip's left side, there was a terrible bite. Even a piece of flesh was missing from there. I quickly sprung into action, covering his wound with both hands while inhaling deeply. I tried to concentrate on mending the boy while I closed my eyes. My hands felt warm and tingly as my flesh burnt, but not in a way that hurt. When I opened my eyes, I saw the youngster illuminated by a yellow glow from beneath my hands. As the power poured from me into the boy, I could see the swirls of gold in my palms as I looked down. I looked at the boy's skin and noticed the wound was gradually healing. It was effective. At the same time, I was shocked and amazed. Since I haven't cured someone since I was six years old, I wasn't sure if it
"You are an angel with both good and bad qualities. Every hundred years, angels just like you are born. Your mission is to spread peace throughout the world. You appear to be a very pure being based on what I've observed, yet at the same time, darkness is engulfing you. Never give in to your evil side since doing so could mean the end of all life as we know it "She spoke. "An angel?" I questioned in a daze. "Yes. That is why your wolf is white; it symbolizes your angelic side. In the entire planet, you are the sole white wolf." I muttered. "I've never seen my wolf. "Oh. Allow me to assist you with that "She grinned again as she moved forward. My head began to speak after she touched my forehead. My wolf was there. "Now keep in mind Marina, you are no longer with that nasty gang of undesirables. You shouldn't hold yourself responsible for your mother's passing. The sooner you realize this, the more control you'll have over your abilities. I'm wishing you success "She hugged me b
Marina's POV We were now by ourselves in the space. He looked at me intently, examining every detail of my wolf. My wolf retreated when he took a step forward. Now what? As I conversed with my wolf in my head, I remarked, "I thought you were eager to meet our partner. "He betrayed us!" She provided a response huff. Since I was aware that Stella's earlier comments had hurt us both, I refrained from saying anything further. I'm not sure if what she said was accurate or if she was just attempting to provoke me, but it seemed to be having an effect. I was astonished when I slapped her at first, but that disbelief soon gave way to anger as I vented my aggravation on her. I believe that I had become weary of people always passing me by and making fun of how pitiful and feeble I was. In addition to wanting to show my partner that I was not weak, I also wanted to disprove her. I wasn't sure what would happen, but at this point, nothing someone could do to me would be different from wha
"Our mate is a dick." She muttered with a sigh, "I know," I said with a sad sigh. He doesn't want us, but his wolf, Jax, wants; I can feel that. She groaned. "His wolf made him take us with him; that's why he brought us here."I tried to convince her that we didn't require him. "We do require him! Our partner and another half, he is." She asserted that one could not exist without the other. "I understand that, but I don't want you to get your hopes up only to have them dashed." She grimaced and let out a long, drawn-out sigh. 'Alana, just know that I love you," I added with a sincere grin.I love you too, Marina," she said with a smile before retreating to her cover, where I assumed she would mope.She wasn't as upset with me now, which made me a little happier. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to use the facilities. After taking a shower, I quickly changed into the clothing I had brought with me because I desperately needed one. I put on a sweatpants and an oversized
