Ryan’s Pov:
Walking inside the woods, a pleasant smell hits my nose. It was the moisture of a deep ocean and the earthly sands, just like how I love it. I growled in satisfaction flaring up my nose to perceive more. I can’t seem to get enough, I felt like drowning in it. The smell has my head spinning around in a flash, Ethan was flipping his tail in excitement.
“Mate! Mate!” He kept screaming.
“I think as much,” I mumbled with a lingering smile, who knows that I will find my mate here? The very person that I have ever wished to have in my life and she appeared at the right time, my mother will be very happy if I break the news to her.
“It seems like she is in danger,” Ethan’s sudden words shocked me. What does he mean by danger? My mate!
“Go fast, I will direct you to where she is,” I sped fast, I could feel a force pushing me towards a direction if I am certain that she will be there. Halting in my track I watched as a wolf tried attacking a tiny feminine figure on the floor, the wolf is a rogue. My nose twisted in disgust as I sensed his scent and before I knew it a growl escaped my throat frightening the wolf before I jumped in between him and the girl. I didn’t even spare her a glance but I could tell how scared and afraid she looked. The wolf started retreating quickly and looking for a way to escape before I leaped on him and bit off his head.
“Hmm!!” I heard a faint scream behind me and that’s when it dawned on me that someone was here with us. Swirling my head instantly, my breath got stuck in my throat as I stared back at the beauty in front of me.
I gazed at her with a wide mouth, her midnight hair flowed at her shoulder and stopped at her neck level which made me want to run my hands on it and to know how smooth and fluffy it looks. She has a shapely figure or could I say a carved figure, she wears a tattered cloth but it compliments her figure and makes it twine-thin. She has a wasp waist that I wondered how it looked without her clothes on. She has glossy skin that is burnished in complexion which makes me want to run my hands on her delicate skin. I want to worship and adore her skin as I whisper dirty stuff into her ears, she has a slender eyebrow. Staring at her eyebrow, I felt her brow arched up with her staring back at me.
Her lashes are downy and hairy, she has a beautiful ear with a dainty nose. She has shiny white teeth, and her dazzling set of teeth gleamed as they slightly parted sideways. Her hand was curled up in a fist but I believe that they look tender and fragile, her enticing deep blue ocean eyes stared back at me. Her rapture blue eyes held me in a place, I felt like drowning in them. My eyes slowly moved to her puffy heart-shaped lips. I wonder how they will taste when I kiss them. I am sure it will taste like strawberry and honey.
“Hhhh!!” I let out a warning growl as I watched her bite her lips, I felt aroused. She seemed scared as her eyes rolled on my body and that’s when it popped into my head that I was still in my Lycan form. I stood up and instantly went to the back of the tree to put on some clothes. Coming out from behind the tree, I saw how her eyes widened in shock as she took in my physique. A smirk slipped into my lips, I knew that I was handsome. She kept gawking at me or could I say eye raping me because it is clear that she is eating me up in her mind. I wanted to know what will be going into that small brain of hers.
“Mate! Mate!” Ethan screamed.
“I know…..” I smiled.
“Claim her now! Claim mate!” He exclaimed.
“Not so fast, wolf…… but something is off about her,” my eyebrow twitched suspiciously.
“She doesn’t have a wolf but she doesn’t smell human either,” I mumbled to Ethan looking confused.
“It seems like she masked her scent,” Ethan said.
“Why? Because I couldn’t smell her,” I complained with a narrowed eye.
“I don’t know, that is something that she needs to tell us,” he answered.
“But she seems scared and afraid of us,” I sadly muttered.
“No! Mate wants us,” Ethan whined.
“We need to make her calm and relax around us,” I said.
“No! I want mate!” He opposes, “She is our mate which means that she is stuck with us,” I explained before shoving at the back of my head and blocking him. I need to think straight and act like I didn’t know that she masked her scent. I want her to tell me that with her lips though not everyone could know about her masking her scent it only requires a power breed to know that. Others might think that she doesn’t have a wolf since she doesn’t smell human.
“Hey……. How are you?” I asked.
She hesitates before she quietly mumbled ” I am fine, thanks for saving me,”
I shut my eyes as I tried wrapping her voice around my head, her sugary voice held me in place. Her voice is soothing and inviting. Snapping my eyes open, I stared at her with longing. I yearn to be in her palms but so sad she couldn’t smell me. She didn’t know that we are mates since she doesn’t have any wolf. My heart twists, I have always wished to have my mate in my arms the first time we will meet. To claim her and make her mine but it looks like it is not going to be easy this time around.
“What are you doing here, all alone inside the woods?” My brow arched up in anger, the rogue could have killed her if I wasn’t around or fast enough.
“I…… I was looking for what to eat before I bump into him,” with trembling lips, she stammered.
“Fine! Did you find what to eat?” I calmly asked. Here I was not striving to find what to eat while my mate had to struggle before she found something to eat.
“No,” she mumbled with her head cast down, I sighed. I am tired of her lowering her head when talking to me. I need to look at me when she is talking, I want to stare back at those blue eyes and watch her lips move when she says a word.
“Where is your pack?” I ignored the feelings of having her and claimed her as mine here and now, I shoved the erotic images behind me before I focused my attention back on her.
“I don’t have a pack,” she blurted, surprising me.
“What!!!!”
“Yeah! I was a rogue……. Born and raised as a rogue,” she mumbled, my heart breaking at her word. She has surely passed through a lot in life.
“So where are your parents?”
“Dead,” she shrugged before letting out a sad smile. I feel for her, I wanted to embrace her and uplift her burden but I couldn’t make a move. She doesn’t know that we are mates and I didn’t know how to explain it to her.
“Are you alone here then?” I swallowed nervously before asking her, I hope she isn’t married with kids or has a boyfriend. I hope that she waited for us because I did.
“Yeah,” she shortly replied.
“I mean like are you married or have a boyfriend,” her brow arched up at my question as she stared back at me.
“Wait! Don’t get it twisted…… I mean if you have a boyfriend since you no longer have your parents with you,”
“Someone to care for you….. To stay with you,” I said with difficulty as I gave her my phony smile, my heart throbbed as I waited for her answer. I hope she doesn’t have anyone in her life.
