BELINDA
I saw five menacingly looking wolves, prowling and growling at me. Their scents are masked so I can not tell which pack they came from.
“What do I do?”
My wolf suddenly became silent. Typical of her to run away when there's a sign of danger.
I just bent in a crouching position as a sign of surrender and begged them.
“Please, don't hurt me. I didn't do anything wrong.”
“You're trespassing on our land and we take for sport anyone that's not supposed to be here.”
“I'm a guest in Blackwater pack. I'm not a trespasser.”
I tried to defend myself.
“You see, you're a little away from home. You're no longer in the Blackwater pack, this is the Moonshadow pack.”
The leader sneered at me. They were creeping toward me when I suddenly heard a voice thundering behind me.
“Take one more step and I will tear you limb from limb.”
I turned back and I saw him. He was bare chested and for the first time, I noticed his ripped arms and tight muscles. His face was stern and his golden hair flower. His eyes flashed like someone in rage for being cheated of his most prized possession.
“Alpha Damon”
The wolf shuddered.
“Alpha Eric”
“This is a violation of our agreement. We agreed to finders keepers.”
“Yes, but this one is an exception.”
“What makes her an exception?”
“She is going to be my Luna. And I'm sure you don't want to have a bad history with her and your small pack”
The way he mentioned Luna this time brought a measure of pride to me. A rush of heat flooded my cheeks.
“Of course, there won't be any issue. She can leave.”
Alpha Eric forced a fake smile as he watched his meal taken from him. I can tell that he was really scared of Damon. He was intimidating to look at. Again, Damon picked me up and carried me. This time I rested my head in his hairy chest and whispered thank you to him.
“I'm not letting you out of my sight again. From now on, you're going to stay close to my chambers. And no wandering off.”
He said in his deep, cool, and dreamy voice.
“Okay.”
I didn't realize that I drifted off in his arms.
DAMON
I watched how this fierce wolf slept calmly in my arms. I never realized how cute she can be when she's not annoying me. My mind drifted to how I knew she was in danger.
It was a cool evening in the office when I started to attend to some documents. It was as if my primal sense was in danger. The connection between my wolf and her wolf had become stronger. My wolf could communicate with her wolf even when she wasn't physically present.
“She's in danger. You have to help her.”
My wolf echoed.
“What? How did you know?”
“The same way I know where to find her. Hurry and go to the woods now.”
I felt a push as I ran out with speed while other wolves looked at me, so surprised. I've never run with that much speed before. Tore through trees and broke down walls. My wolf was directing me where to run. I discovered I was entering the Moonshadow pack, and my rage increased. I swore that I would destroy every single one of their measly pack members if they hurt as much as one hair on her head. In a few seconds, I was there, spewing threatening words to them as they cowered and left her alone.
I got back to my pack and instructed the omegas to prepare the room close to my chambers for her. I laid her on the bed and sat by her, watching her sleep. In watching her sleep, I also slept.
BELINDA
It was pitch black outside and darkness had come. There was a lit candle on the dressing table. The bed is so soft and warm that I had sunk in already. I have never had to sleep in such a kind of comfort before. It took a while for me to realize that I was still in the Blackwater pack. The room is bigger and well-scented. I don't remember how I got there until I saw Damon.
Still slightly clad, he rested his face on one of his arms. His muscles flexed effortlessly as I watched him. I can't imagine what would have happened if Damon didn't show up there. I might have been taken as a prisoner, r***d, or even killed. He truly is my knight in shining armor.
He stirred for a while and I quickly sunk back to bed, pretending to be asleep. I observed him and how he looked vulnerable, like a baby. He looked so innocent. This man cannot be the monster that the Skylight pack portrayed him to be. They are the real monsters.
I gained courage and sat up looking at him and observing how beautiful he was. He opens his eyes and this time I stare right back into his.
“You're awake.”
“Yes.”
“Did you sleep well?”
“Not really.”
“Why not?”
“How can I sleep well when you are watching me?”
He couldn't reply to me. I guess he didn't understand what message I was trying to pass. I crawled on the bed to the edge of it and sat close to him.
“How did you know I was in danger and how did you find me? Were you stalking me?”
“Not at all. Like I said, we are connected. We're fated to be mates.”
“You believe that?”
“How is it then that I can hear your thoughts? How then do I know that you are burning for me as much as I am for you? How then do I know that you want me to rip your clothes and make mad love to you like you have never had because you're still a virgin?”
I flushed when he said that. I have to stop thinking because he knows my thoughts. But my fears kept creeping in. What if he's like Tobias and hates me and rejects me afterward?
“I will never reject you, my little wolf.”
He touched my lips and caressed my neck. Never have I felt like this before. He locked his lips in mine and tears rolled out of my eyes. He carried me and threw me on the bed. He tore open my dress. I can say that that was the best night of my life. I moaned as he had passionate s*x to me.
Then I heard those words again.
“Mate, mate”
This time I answered back.
“Mate.
