I turned to stare at Jane who was obviously as shocked as I was, hell everyone in the room was shocked except Lock who was just grinning ear to ear.
“What just happened?” Max asked, staring at the guy, my mate…. who hadn't said a single word, but was just staring at me with a blank expression?
“Blake just found his mate,” Jared said, almost sounding amused, and Blake glared at him, but still didn’t say a word.
“That is impossible,” Sarah muttered. “She is a werewolf. Lycans cannot mate with wolves. It does not happen.”
“Actually, it does” Lock interrupted “it happens but it's very very rare.”
“But Blake can’t mate with a werewolf, it can’t be.” Sarah sputtered again, staring at me with hatred but I couldn't care less.
“Who are you to decide who he can or cannot mate with?” Jane snapped.
They did not seem top like Sarah too much.
Sarah looked around the room in shock and stood up to approach Blake, “Blake honey, please tell them that this is ridiculous. It can’t be” she said and touched his cheeks. Seeing that single touch almost had me burning in rage.
“Hands off’ Shanty roared, and before I could stop myself, a loud growl tore out of my lips and I bared my growing fangs at Sarah.
She smartly let go of Blake who turned to stare at me again in bewilderment.
“Blake?” Max called, moving close to Blake. “Why are you not saying anything?”
“I am tired, “Blake muttered, taking his eyes off me to smile at Max. “I don’t have the time for this, I think there are more important things to discuss”
He said and Max nodded,
“For example, what was a werewolf doing here in the first place?
“She came to….’” Jane began, but was cut off by a sharp glance from Blake.
“The damn wolf can speak for herself Jane!” He roared and Jane flinched.
“The damned wolf has a name and it is Lora” I muttered giving him a deadly glare.
“I don’t give a damn what your name is Wolf. Now answer my question, what the hell are you doing, polluting my territory with wolf stench?” He snapped and I stood up, seeing red.
“Now this is what is going to happen, Blake. I won’t have you insulting me, especially not in front of your whole pack. Whatever it is our family has against each other, you don’t take it out on me” I said defiantly and I caught a hint of surprise in his eyes.
“What makes you think you have the right to talk to me like that?” He growled.
“Nothing. But at the end of the day, unfortunately the universe decided to match you up with me, so we both might not like or want it, but trust me when I say that I want my due respect. I won’t tolerate any insults coming from you”
I was boiling, and I moved closer to him with each word I spoke, and his frown deepened.
“Get out, and go back to wherever it is you are coming from” He muttered quietly and turned to leave but I followed him.
“Unfortunately, I am very desperate so I am not stepping out of this place till I say what I have come to say.”
Blake turned around and gave me a deadly glare but I stood my ground and stared at him back.
“Or would you prefer we do this the hard way?”
“Like I said, interesting day” Lock said and I gave him a glare which he returned with a grin.
“So, you have been my mate for like two seconds and you are already barking orders and threatening me” Blake whispered and I softened a little.
I was the one who came here asking for help, and I sure would not get that help with this kind of attitude.
“I’m sorry.” I whispered. “I am just desperate and this is just too shocking, so please don’t turn away from me, I need help”
His gaze softened and he came closer, ‘How can we help you?” He asked and I thought about that for a second.
“I have no idea," I said and he frowned, “I have been getting death glares from a werewolf and I’m not even sure who it is, or how many they were. It getting worse by the day and my wolf just insisted I come here and I have no idea why”
“Why would a werewolf have anything against you?” he asked and I shrugged.
“I have no idea”
Blake looked at me for a few minutes, deep in thoughts before shaking his head, “I’m sorry, but we don’t involve ourselves with werewolf business. It is too risky, and mate or not, nothing is worth my family’s life”
I felt a painful squeeze in my heart as he turned and left the room without a word. Max stared at me for a few seconds and followed him.
What on earth had I gotten myself into?
Of all the people to actually make my soul mate, the universe had to pick arrival? What had I done to deserve this?
The worse thing is, how would my dad react when he finds out that a Lycan is my mate?
We were supposed to be keeping as much distance as possible from the Lycans.
I don’t know what is worse, mating with a rival or the fact that my mate does not even care if I die.
“I will talk to him. He will come around” Jane said, coming up behind me.
“Oh, he will come around right,” Lock said with a mischievous grin.
“I have really had enough. I need to start going back home now before anyone notices my absence”
Jane gave me a nod and I picked up my purse from the chair and headed to the door.
Then I turned around, “Thank you Jane. And thanks to you all too for not killing me on spot. And Lock? It was really nice meeting you,” I said and Lock gave me a smile, Jane just gave me a nod while the rest just stared blankly at me.
“Lora” Jane called before I left the room.
“The mating heat can be very brutal once it kicks in, from what I have heard. You won’t be able to fight it”
I gave her a grateful smile’. I am sure I can take good care of myself.
I left the room angrily.
Blake’s POV“This is very ridiculous,” Sarah sputtered, face red with rage, and I can’t believe that you are actually supporting this to begin with.”Lock bared his teeth and she paled immediately.Sarah knew better than to snap at Lock. “C’mon Blake, you have to do something about this. She is a werewolf for God sake. You can’t be mates with a freaking wolf”Honestly the only thing I wanted to do right now was go lay down my head and rest or sleep. But obviously Sarah was having none of that. The idea of me having a werewolf mate seems to upset her more than it worries me, the victim.I do understand her perfectly. This is a very unusual turn of events. We are Lycans. We don’t talk with werewolves, talk more become mates with them.Then how the fuck did this werewolf…. a breath takingly beautiful one at that…. waltz into our corner, looking so fucking helpless and calling out to me soul?What trick was the mother goddess trying to play on me right now?“I will think about this later,
I took a deep breath as I approached my room, my heart was heavy with disappointment and anger even after the lovely long ride by the human who could not stop ranting about his grandma and her cookies.Were all human parrots or what?But as I drew near to my room, my heart picked up another pace. Perceiving my dad’s scent from my room, I instantly knew that I was about to face another challenge. How was I supposed to explain my whereabouts to him?With a deep breath and self-reminder of my adulthood I pushed open the door and tried not to wince when I saw him, sitting on my bed, legs crossed and face hard. He looked stern and imposing, with his arms crossed and his expression unyielding."Where have you been?" he demanded.I hesitated for a moment, walking over to my desk to drop my purse and remove my jewelry. Then I took a deep breath to calm my nerves and forced a smile, "I went to see a friend."My father's eyes narrowed. "You don't have any friends," he said coldly.I bit my l
“Come on, open up wider,” My heart was beating very fast, increasing with each passing second, with every touch of the man standing very naked before me.I did as he asked. Really how could I not? I was on fire.Every inch of my skin was burning up right under his touch.With a little gasp, I opened my legs a little bit wider, anticipating, oh Good Lord, anticipating his touch.His finger trailed very slowly down my stomach to my waist and I held my breath, feeling like I could explode any moment from now.“You are so hot…” He whispered into my ear and bit my earlobe.That feels good. I thought with a moan. Everything he does feels good.At this point I was already past reasoning.All I could think about was this fire that I needed him to quench so badly.I could feel wetness gathering between my legs rapidly and he had not really touched me yet.Damn….“You like this huh? You are enjoying it aren’t you? “Did he need to ask? I wanted to scream that he should just touch me. Stop th
The next day was not all sunshine either, to be very honest. After Blake’s incident I had tried as much as I could to get some sleep before daybreak, trying to ignore the horniness and the pain brought by this blatant request.But all were to no single avail. And by the time day broke, and the first light of the day streaked into my room, I already had a severe headache.Mother fucker.I groaned as I got up from the bed and went straight to the bathroom.After long minutes of soaking myself in a cold bath and washing my hair I was already feeling much better with energy renewed for the day.I still had lots of things in mind to take care of, and my own problems to handle which seems to keep piling up every day.First the threats, then my mating dilemma now, my mate wants to reject me and render me useless for life.And to think that I never did anything wrong to deserve all these.SighA knock on my door interrupted my thoughts and I groaned in frustration. I honestly did not want an
LOLA’S POVDamn it.I stormed into my room, my heart racing, anger burning in me. I slammed the door shut behind me, relishing the loud thud it made as it hit the frame. I couldn't believe it. How could he?How could he disrespect my mother this way?It was not fair; no, it was not.How could he just give Yvonne what was rightfully my mother’s?And this would mean a lot of things.The leadership would not be my family’s anymore.My maternal grandmother was the Luna, and so was my mother. The next should be mine. Marrying Yvonne could mean that the leadership would be shifted to merchildren not mine.Not that I really cared about being the Luna of the pack…I did not. But that does not mean I'll comfortably let my legacy and right be stripped away from me like that.I clutched the plate of bread tightly in my hand, my knuckles turning white with the force of my grip. How could he do this to me? How could he so callously betray my mother's memory like this?I paced back and forth, my
BLAKE’S POVI was shocked. Yeah, shock was one of the feelings my brain registered, as I felt Lora’s lips on mine.For a moment, I froze, my mind racing with confusion and disbelief. But then her lips opened up, her tongue licking at my lips and all the thoughts and doubts melted away.It was like an electric shock went through me, a jolt of pure sensation that I felt from the tips of my toes to the top of my head. I felt her fingers on my cheek, the touch gentle and tentative, and I knew that I had to respond.I kissed her back, my movements hesitant at first, but then surer and more confident as I felt the passion between us growing.As our tongues twirled together in an exotic dance, I felt a mix of emotions swirling inside me. There was desire, of course, but also confusion and doubt. I had never felt this way before, never been so close to someone in this way.Perhaps it is the mating heat. Definitely the mating heat.Somewhere in my mind I knew that I should not be doing this.
LORA’S POVThe next morning as the bright rays of the sun penetrated the room from the open window, I woke up with the taste of Blake's lips still lingering on mine. It was like the memory of our kiss was etched onto my tongue, and I couldn't shake it off no matter how hard I tried.As much as I enjoyed the kiss, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed about practically jumping on him and initiating it. It wasn't like me to be so forward, but there was something about Blake that made me feel whole again last night. The way his lips had brushed against mine, so soft and gentle yet undeniably electric, had made my heart skip a beat.I knew that I should not be thinking about that, given our predicament. I should not be thinking about the length of his beautiful manhood and how good it had felt pressed between my legs.I moaned slightly as I felt a little wetness start gathering between my legs.You have to focus Lora, I scolded myself and got up from the bed, bones still weak fr
The first thing I noticed as I woke up was the familiar silence. It was the kind of stillness that only came in the dead of night, when the world was asleep and nothing stirred. I lay in bed for a moment, my eyes adjusting to the darkness, feeling the weight of the silence pressing down on me like it usually did.Then I stretched my hand and switched on the light.I sat up, letting the cool air wash over me, feeling the sheets fall away from my skin. The early morning sun cast a soft glow over my room, illuminating the familiar.As I stretched and yawned, I felt the familiar pull of the day ahead. There were challenges to face, decisions to make, people to see. But for this moment, I was alone, with nothing but the morning and my thoughts.I took a deep breath, feeling the cool air fill my lungs, and let it out slowly. It was time to face the day, and I was very excited, because I was positive that it was going to be a very good day. I could smell it, feel it in the air. I was very
