...Two Years Later......Darius POV...Ever since I found out Catherine was my mate, I found myself in a constant state of restlessness. I felt guilty, as I haven't been the mate to Catherine that she deserves. But regardless of what I did, I couldn't get myself to become closer to her. The closer she would try to get to me, the more I pushed her away. At first, I would bury myself in homework to keep myself busy.Since we hadn't completed the mating bond yet, I didn't know how she really felt. I saw the smile on her face, but deep inside, I thought she was hurting. I know she has reason to be upset with me. Normally the mating process is swift for werewolves. We typically find each other and complete the bond within the first month of discovering each other. But it was never like that with her. It was as though my mind was at war with my heart. In my head, I knew she was my mate and that I should be placing my claim on her. However, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get myself t

...Wynter POV...It's been nearly ten years since I last saw Darius. The day after I talked to Kenji, I left England. I didn't have a destination in mind; rather, I just needed to be away from him. I found myself in Thailand and fell in love with the culture. There was a small wolf presence here, so I was able to blend in amongst the humans quite easily. Shortly after I arrived here, I found the pain had died down significantly. I stayed here for slightly over two years before I began growing restless once more. I didn't know why all of a sudden I felt like I couldn't stay here anymore. Or rather it felt like I was being pulled somewhere. Either way, I knew I had overstayed my welcome and quickly left. I went to Fiji next, however, I wasn't able to stay for long. Each destination I went to would start off great. The pain would subside at first, but then in about two weeks, Caedance would grow very anxious. Not allowing me to stay in the same spot. Rather it felt like she was constantl

...Wynter POV...'How is this even possible?' I asked Caedance after we had made it safely away from him.'I don't know. I didn't know he was even here.'"You didn't? Then how did you manage to lead us there?''I think it must be because of our bond. We are still connected to him.''I've heard of mates being able to find one another, but not across continents. How did we manage to find him when we didn't even know he was here?''I don't know. Perhaps he felt the same pull we did?''But how?''I don't know.' She replies to me. Ever since I left Darius, I was beyond anxious. Everything inside of me was fighting to go back to him. I knew I had no other choice. I had to leave. I couldn't risk going back to him. We had gone much further than we should've done. It was as if I was in a trance. Seeing him alive after everything had happened, had managed to make me forget about everything that had happened. The only thing I needed was him. It was both a selfish and risky move. I couldn't beli

...Catherine POV...After running into Darius in the hallway, I quickly ran to Alpha Xander's office. It was late at night, but I knew he would be awake. The man rarely slept, so tonight would be no different."Alpha!" I yell, bursting into Alpha Xander's office."What is the meaning of this?!" Alpha Xander says, sounding annoyed.Ignoring his outburst, I continue to approach his desk."It's Darius. He's here!" I say, getting to the point."Is he.." He says, clearly contemplating."Has he seen you already?" He asks."Yes." I say crestfallen."I take it by your response, he wasn't happy." "No." I sigh."He looked annoyed actually. He looked happy at first, but..." I begin, only to cut myself off, as I remember our encounter. "It looked like he had forgotten about me." I partly whimper.I'm not an idiot, I knew this was a possibility. After all, we weren't really destined mates, so he would never think of me as such. But I've always had strong feelings towards Darius. To me, he was th

"What do you mean she's in a coma?" I ask, furious. Instantly my mind begins to swarm with thoughts of what could've happened. 'Does someone know about her? Did someone order an attack on her? Are they trying to get to Blood Moon through her?'"Shit! How did this happen?" I ask."I don't know. Everything was going ok. We were sparring when suddenly it was as though she wasn't there. Not realizing that she wasn't paying attention, I hit her, but not that bad. She seemed fine after a few minutes, just winded. But..""But what?" I ask."All of a sudden, she clutched her stomach and gasped out in pain. Before I had a chance to figure out what happened, she fell to the ground screaming in pain. I rushed her to the hospital right away. Charlie is with her now, and is checking her over as we speak." He remarks. Like any werewolf, we're always leery of human doctors and hospitals as our DNA is not the same as a human, which also means that we don't always have traditional ailments. Due to t
