Caught

Mavericks POV
Deep down in my heart, I know that there is something special about this girl. I felt it the moment she bumped into me, I felt a sense of elation that I’d never felt with anyone else before. It felt so magical, so strange, it felt as if she was touching my very soul. She has a fire within her, a fire that I admire and detest at the same time.
She is stubborn…
So damn stubborn!
The moment I caught her glaring at me, I knew she was human, not only that, I saw her defiance and I knew she is untamed. At first, I wanted to just scold her for bumping into me and leave, but her sharp remarks and negative comments made me want to strangle her on that spot.
She is cute…
That fact, I can not deny. She has an amazing body, the kind of body that men go to war over, the king of beauty that every guy desires. She is dressed like a stripper, her undressed state made it harder for me to concentrate on our conversation. I couldn’t her scanning her sexy body with my eyes. Her stomach Is extremely flat and toned, her boobs are well proportioned in that flimsy little red lace number of hers. Her ass cheeks are popping off her thong, I want to smack that ass and screw her hard and fast. She could be a supermodel if she wanted to, she has the curves and the looks. The only issue I have is that sharp mouth of hers.
I want to break her…
I want to tame her and make her mine, I want to know the stuff she is made of, I want to know why she is so tough and resilient. She just blew my cover in this club, I was trying to keep a low profile, but she stupidly announced my presence to everyone, yet she refused to apologize for her actions.
How audacious!
The moment I laid eyes on her, I knew she was in trouble. There is something about her, I just couldn’t place my finger on it. I’ve never seen a human this attractive. My body was reacting strangely to her presence. I’ve never felt this way about any girl before, let alone a human girl that has a nasty attitude. I find her attractive and that is not supposed to be so. I should not be having this feeling for any woman, it made me furious that she has some sort of hold on me, it felt strange and annoying.
Every time her blue orbs gazed into mine, I saw a flicker of blue light, and my heart jumped in excitement. Whatever our souls are made of, hers and mine are the same. It felt like we are made from the same soil, a single soul inhabiting two bodies. All these conflicting thoughts were driving me crazy because I couldn’t understand any of them.
The club is packed full, and everyone is staring at us to know what is going on. I spotted Cameron and Shane on the second floor, they must have heard about the commotion downstairs and they have come to see if it is true. They looked shocked, or is that anger I see in their faces?
I don’t care, I just don’t want to be seen staring at the crowd. I could see the king’s spies among the onlookers staring at us. They are the same guys that have been trailing us since we left the lycan palace. They followed us to Hawaii, to Paris and now they are here with us in my city, my territory. King Gerald must be very desperate to find her before I do. His tenacity gives me the courage to continue, it means I’m on the right path.
And I will continue on this path until I get what I’m searching for until I find her and make her mine. I was busy scanning my surrounding, I wasn’t paying much attention to her anymore, then I heard her force out an apology, spitting it out as if the words are burning her mouth.
Arrogant Bitch!
I could just snap her neck and send her back to her creator. Or better yet, I could throw her under the bus for making me feel so miserable. Yes, I could use her as a distraction to throw these fools off my back. She dared to challenge me, she wasn’t even looking at me when she said she was sorry. She is getting under my skin, and she is making me lose control. I reached out and pulled her chin to force her to look at me.
The world stopped spinning when our skin made contact, The touch was like wildfire through my veins. I could feel my heart pumping blood faster than usual, I felt my body come alive for the first time since I was born. She kindled me, she touched my very soul, I feel alive and for the first time in my life, I heard the voice of my wolf,
“Mate,”
It whispered to me, sending waves of electric shock all over my body. I touched her and my wolf came alive. This could only mean one thing,
She is the one…
She is my mate, the last healer. And I’ve foolishly exposed her to everyone because of my alter ego.
Fuck,
Holy fuck!
King Geralds guys are watching me closely, they must have felt the surge of energy between us, if I don’t act fast, they will realize that my wolf is awake, and that would be the end of us all. I could see them looking in this direction, and I know we are so fucked, so I quickly improvised.
I pushed her off of me, and I saw the hurt in her eyes. She is mad at me, but she has magic, and there is no way I would. There’s no lie in her fire, there is no doubt that she is the last healer. I can feel my wolf within me, it is so amazing to know that I have a wolf, I can’t wait to show and bond with my wolf and at the same time, I have to keep it hidden. My wolf is howling excitedly and urging me to mate with her, but I couldn’t do it. I have to live my life like I used to, I have to pretend that I have no affection for her. That is the only way we can survive this.
I have no idea how we are supposed to break the curse, but I know I have to hide the fact that she is the last healer, I have to find a way to keep her close and protect her. I can’t believe that a moment ago, I was ready to throw her under the bus and let her face the wrath of King Gerald. Yet, here I am, searching for ways I can keep her close and protect her. I frowned my face and treated her with disgust,
“Look at me when I’m talking to you, bitch!
And when you apologize to me, say it like you fucking mean it!” I growled out at her, feigning annoyance, making her cower in fear. I felt bad seeing her this way, she hates me, I can see it in her eyes, but I have no choice but to make her hate me even more. That’s the only way this is going to work. I turned to Dawson, the manager, and flared up at him, transferring the aggression to him,
“You incompetent idiot!
I let you run my business for a few years and you choose to let disrespectful humans walk around here like they own the fucking place?
You might as well hand her your job because it seems like you don’t know how to do it anymore!” I yelled in his face before turning to head back into my private showroom. I could hear the gasps and whispers in the crowd and I know they fell for my acting.
I did not turn for a second glance, I stormed into the showroom and took the stairs to the second floor where I love spending my time. I made this private showroom myself, I had it built in a way that I could monitor the two floors from here. I don’t need to come out of this showroom to see what is happening in my club. The only reason I stepped out and ran into her is that I wanted to pick up my laptop from my car. I’m glad that I did, I got to meet my soulmate, the long-awaited healer.
My only problem is that she has a fire within her that is kindled with rage and hatred. I’m guessing that it has something to do with the way she was raised. It made her stronger, and tougher. I don’t know how to tame her wild side without attracting the attention of the wrong people. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses are. That it can be good again.
I’m already as hot-headed as they come, what I need is someone as cool as ice, why would the moon goddess choose to give me someone as stubborn and arrogant as this girl? I don’t even know her fucking name. I guess the moon goddess simply wanted to make this task more harder for me. Sad to say, she has succeeded in giving me the hardest task I’ve ever handled. She is so annoying and stubborn.
It’s so funny, but I love her. Yes, I know it’s too soon to conclude and you’ll probably think it’s because of our mate bond, but that’s not the case. I love this girl, fire and all. I felt it even before I realized that she is my mate. You know that feeling when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible, and you want to get rid of every obstacle stopping you from being with this person.
That is exactly how I feel now. It’s so hard for me to pretend to hate her when all I want to do is to pull her into my arms, back her up against the wall, and claim her lips. What the hell am I going to do, how do I pretend to hate someone I love, how long will I keep up this pretense?
Leroy couldn’t care less about my feelings, he had a striper in the room, and they are both sucking each other’s mouth on my fucking couch. I felt so miserable, thinking about her, I needed to get some information about her, so I called the manager and I made him come up here with her file because I accused him of employing an underage delinquent to work at my club. He came up pleading on her behalf as usual, and I asked him to get her in here so she can prove to me that she is qualified to work in this club.
“She had better be as good as you claim, or else I’m kicking her out of here. And I’ll make you leave with her!” I warned him sternly.
He nodded nervously as he went to fetch her for me. A few seconds after he left, the door to my private showroom swung open, and I knew it wasn’t her because he just left right now. I was just about to yell at the intruder when I saw that it was Cameron and share.
Cameron is my betrothed, and Shane is her brother. They are both the kids of the former Beta of this pack. Shane was supposed to be the next Beta, that is my Beta. But the laws of the lycan king made it impossible for him to be my Beta. He did not pass the training for young Beta, and his father could not convince the lycan king to make him my Beta.
Leroy was chosen as my Beta, he passed the training and he has proven himself to be a faithful second in command. The truth is, I’ve never felt close to Shane as I did with Leroy. They are both my friends, and we have been friends since childhood, but there is something shady about Shane. I can feel it in my bones that there is something wrong with him, I just can’t put my finger on it.
I am glad he didn’t get picked as my Beta. Dad felt bad about the outcome of the Beta’s training, he considers Beta Armstrong as a friend and that was why he had me betrothed to the Beta’s daughter, Cameron. She is the worst thing that has ever happened to me,
My nightmare!
She is so clingy and annoying. I was only with her because I wanted to please my father, besides, she did warm my bed a couple of times and it was nice having her around.
Now that I’ve found my mate, there is no need to keep pretending to like her, she needs to go. But not yet, I still need her as a front to put off king Gerald’s guys. I’ll have to keep up with this relationship for a little while longer.
“Hehehe…
Is that really you, man?
How could you sneak back into town without letting me know, that’s so not cool.” Shane let out excitedly as he engulfed me in a bear hug.
“I’m so pissed at you, Mav!
I’m so fucking pissed. How could you keep me in the dark as well, you know how much I missed you.” Cameron purred as she straddled my hips and took my mouth in hers sucking my lips and tongue.
It was at this point that the pushed open, and she walked right in…
My Val…
