Cobi’s p. o. v
I needed a breather, right after the Alpha ordered me to take care of Naomi.
A lot of things were happening in our pack, but for what was worth our alpha looked happier unlike then.
Was it the mate’s bond and pull that was turning him a little soft?. Either way, it wasn’t that bad.
I sat down on a rock with a low sigh. How the hell did I walk all the way from my pack and into the forest. Moreover, the forest was closer to our alpha’s former pack.
I needed to go back for now and let a few of our warrior spies do their job on keeping an eye on Jason.
I stood up and was about to shift when I picked up the most amazing scent I had ever inhaled.
It was more of a Freesia flower scent. Whoever it was, their scent was like a fragrance that felt like ‘spring’.
The scent was drawing me to where ever it was coming from and I chose to follow it. My wolf was at the edge and so looking forward to seeing the one that carried such a heavenly scent.
I observed the environment carefully as I moved when I heard footsteps. I deliberately made a few sounds to get their attention and it worked.
I frowned when I saw a woman turn and begin to run away.
I quickly ran after her making sure I wasn’t seen.
She was about to jump a log in her way when she tripped and fell to the ground.
I wanted to rush to her and help her up, but I stopped. I had no idea why she was all alone in the forest.
Something wasn’t right.
She groaned in pain and quickly tried to get up on her feet when she stumbled and fell down.
I inhaled the scent of blood and that made my chest tighten. I moved around a few trees to get a closer look at her.
The first thing I noticed about her was her beautiful, long, brown hair. Then her light green eyes and slightly pink plump lips.
“Please, whoever you are, just let me go, please spare me.” She begged in a husky voice.
My wolf tensed as I did as well.
“Please, I’m scared.” She whispered in tears.
“She can’t be what I think she is, right?” I asked my wolf then approached her slowly.
She quickly pushed herself to move backward when I picked up my pace and in just a second I was standing in front of her.
She had a slight cut across her thigh and it was bleeding.
“Stop moving,” I commanded in a husky voice that made her freeze in fear.
“Good girl,” I whispered then went down to my knees and knelt beside her.
She was my mate, I could feel it before even getting a clear view of her.
“You are bleeding,” I whispered as I pressed my hand gently on her thigh.
I frowned then smirked when the beautiful tingles went all around my body.
She really was my mate!. But for some reason, my wolf was quiet and not reacting to her. It was as if something was bothering him.
“Ouch, sir it hurts.” She whispered surprising me.
“Sir?. Why the hell was she calling me that?. I was her fucking mate!. Even if I was a stranger to her wasn’t she suppose to act happy to meet me.” I asked my wolf furiously.
He snared then slowly retreated to our subconscious without a word.
“What did you call me?” I asked seriously just to be sure.
“S…. ir.” she repeated the words.
She didn’t want me right?. That explained why she was running away!. Even after she realized I was her mate she still showed fear and tried to move away from me. I wasn’t going to let her reject me!.
I pushed her down roughly as she hit the cold ground and flinched. Before she could move I hovered on top of her pinning her small frame down.
“What are you doing!. Get off me!” She screamed on top of her voice.
Fuck, she seriously didn’t want me!. But I wanted her, I wasn’t going to back away from claiming her.
I grabbed her chin roughly and forced her to face the other side.
I was going to take my chances of marking her now and mating her later. It didn’t matter if she was going to hate me later on and want me dead. As long as I was next to her, then everything else was going to be alright. I wanted what Cole had and that was a mate bond shared between me and my other half which the moon goddess had blessed me with.
I leaned in and licked the side of her neck with my tongue carefully. I didn’t want to inflict much pain on her. I wanted her relaxed as much as possible.
I was about to mark her when she push my hand away from her face, leaning in and bitting down on my ear roughly.
“Fuck!” I spat silently then shifted to the side to touch my bleeding ear.
She took that chance to push me away and quickly got to her feet.
I furiously watched as she ran away in tears.
I stood up with a low sigh. I knew what my problem was. I was too kind and lenient with her, that’s why she was acting like that.
It was obvious how she didn’t want anything to do with me. That’s why I was going to use fear and bind her down. That way she wouldn’t even think of ruining away.
I shifted into my wolf form and took off, tracking her footsteps and scent easily.
When I was ahead of her I shifted into my human form and watched as she ran while glancing behind to see if I was following her.
I walked to her and stood in her, she hit into my chest and quickly looked up.
“You have had your fun. Now it’s my turn.” I whispered before putting my hand on her shoulder and tightening my grip to make her pass out.
She shifted a bit but slowly went limp in my arms.
I sighed softly then lifted her in my arms.
It wasn’t intentional to hurt her. But she gave me no choice, I had to act and bind her before she could Reject me with hurtful words.
