As if taking her sight was not enough, he had his men take her into a forest to murder her.That had been when a much younger Sebastian and certainly more carefree had seen them. He butted in instantly(just as he had with her, Mara thought), and then he fought them off to save her.That day he made an enemy of the alpha who called himself the alpha of all alphas. He took her back to this place, where he nursed her into health.Since then, he let her stay with him and would ensure she had what to eat.The more she learned about these beasts, the more gruesome and cruel their stories turned out.She instantly because curious as to who this dangerous alpha was.“Do you remember his name?” she asked the woman“His name? Who child?” the woman asked“The alpha who took your sight,” Mara said“Like the feel of my skin, I do, child. His name is…” she began saying...“And what is she doing out here, Sonya?” a voice demanded angrily.Blast him and his timing, Mara thought.“Sebastian, so nice o
Mara remained in that room the whole day and the next.It was unexpected, the sudden feeling of imprisonment. She had fallen asleep on the floor close to the door, waiting for someone to come around.She sat down there for a long time amidst her hurting feet. It was sometime in her haziness and exhaustion that the doors opened.Mara fell aside as it was open inwards, and her back was to the door while she slept.She grunted painfully as she heard a foot hasten up to her."I'm sorry. I had no idea." The person was saying.She had come to believe it was just Sonya and Sebastian living alone in this castle, so hearing another voice startled her. She looked up to find a man in armor assisting her. He helped her to her feet and supported her until they got to the bed where she sat.She was confused."Um… who are you?" Mara asked him, looking pretty much confused at what was going on."I believe we have not yet been introduced properly. I'm Holmes, and we were on patrol when you were broug
That instant, Mara found herself walking out of the room to find him.From hearing that howl, it was like a magical compass had attached to her mind's eye, and she suddenly could find herself outside her room.To her surprise, she did not encounter anyone as she stepped around the castle.When she realized what had just happened, she was already standing in front of a vast dark forest.She was drawn to him and was sure he was there within the depth of the forest and needed her help.Mara knew that instant that she needed to find him.She had utterly come to forget the pain in her feet and was walking into the forest with just the light of the moon as her guidance.She continued walking until she came to a part of the forest that was cleared out.The moon focused on this part as if it were the middle of the forest.Mara unexpectedly could tell that Sebastian had passed through that exact place.She still could not understand why she was out there searching for him, nor could she bring
"You had no right being out there and bringing him to my castle, woman," he said as he turned suddenly to face her.Mara followed him instantly when she heard him say he would send someone to get rid of the wounded man on the bed.She could not understand why a man like him would be cruel to someone else, but then he had to turn to her and tell her that she had no right."You said you would get rid of him." she pressed onto the subject so he would not change it.Sebastian frowned, "I would not have you bring in strays and unfamiliar beings to my castle. Not even if you are my...my... forget it." he said and made to turn away.He could not believe he had almost said those words out loud.How could he refer to her as his mate when he knew well enough he could and would not accept that responsibility ever? He needed to get away from her before he said any more wrong things, but she would not allow him. The woman was so stubborn and determined to get whatever she wanted.Perhaps even he
Old Sonya sighed but said nothing while Maria stared at her with eyes full of curiosity, hoping she would start speaking.After a while, when it was apparent the woman was not going to speak of it, the young girl decided to do it herself. She informed Mara that she would tell her, against Sonya's wish. She hurriedly tried to stop Maria by saying the story was not something she should be worried about, but Mara became more adamant about listening to her words and insisted on them telling her.She asked Maria to proceed with the story because it could be helpful for her in the future, and with her current situation, she was ready to accept and listen to anything that might help her.Maria cleared her throat and then began.It was something that happened many moons ago that was told to them. Sebastian had not always been this way until after he had lost his father.It was said the old man had been attacked by some other pack and died in battle, but that was not all there was to it. In
There was tension in the air. Probably not hers at the moment but in his own space.Sebastian was forcing himself not to react or seem overly protective of the frail Woman when he wanted nothing to do with her.But now, Silas was overstepping his bounds, and Sebastian was not sure how to classify his actions. Perhaps he was intentionally trying to provoke him when after she introduced herself to him, he took her hand in his and kissed the back of it.His wolf shifted angrily within him, and he felt so much displeasure. To make it worse, his brother had looked at him in a cocky manner after doing that without leaving her hand.Sebastian flashed him a warning before she could notice by bringing up his wolf's eyes briefly. Then he cleared his throat. She looked at him now, and although he wanted not to be angry, he could not help being mad at her.He cleared his throat to make her realize what was happening while glaring at the hand holding hers.He noticed how she held his brother's han
Of her specie, this man was totally unbelievable in all his ways.She wanted to walk around that table to where he sat looking dashingly handsome and punch him in the face.All he did was make her angry from the moment they met, and now it seemed like each time they met, an intensity of anger increased within her like each meeting with him was fuel.It was pretty unusual, but she was intelligent enough to understand that it very well would have everything and more to do with her being his mate.She wanted to know the meaning by all means, even if she already suspected something to be what it was.She liked the prospect of her thought surprisingly but yet again disliked it.Silas, who had been standing there enjoying the show between the duo, was beginning to feel for hisbrother.He could understand that all this action he was putting up was an intro to the pain he was feeling inside. Nothing hurt more than an unclaimed mate, which drove them wolves to madness.He had to step in immed
Waking up that morning, Mara had quite a lot on her mind. The previous night had been hard on her as all she thought about was circling Sebastian and his life story. There were so many questions on her mind and so many regrets.When she had gone inside the previous night, Old Sonya had been waiting still for her. Poor old woman,she was watching over the werewolf she had dragged home and had worn herself out. When Mara entered the room, she was seated on a chair and sleeping.Mara had woken her up and escorted her to her room after insisting she would watch over the man who she doubted his status after her eavesdropping revelation.The young man on her bed looked pretty much young and seemed like he was much younger thanSebastian and Silas. He was dashing with blonde hair, although hers was way lighter. He needed to wake up soon enough to avoid irritating Sebastian further.Mara had drawn the chair up close and sat down to watch him. The night had not been easy as she was busy mappi
