The Lone Wolf

Five

THIRD-PERSON POV

“I'm sorry, I thought you were someone I know." Elissa lied, she couldn't believe the words she heard from this stranger. ‘MINE.' like she was his.

‘Not again, I won't be fooled by any mate bond! I just want to be free from all of this. Moon goddess please send him far away from me.’ She prayed within herself.

Bowing her head apologetically, she turned around to leave but was held firmly on the wrist by Maverick, who stared deeply into her eyes.

He knew something wasn't right, he had never been mistaken by someone before, so why now, except she felt the mating pull too. He wanted to be sure he wasn't just imagining the situation, he wanted to know what pulled her to him.

Maverick sniffed the air around her but she wasn't emitting the smell of a werewolf and that got him a little confused.

“I don't think it was a mistake, I think you know me,” Maverick said, leaning closer to her.

“I'm sorry, it was really a mistake, you look a lot like my brother who left the house and never came back. I have been in search of him and you guys are built in the same way.” Elissa lied blatantly to him.

‘Lies' Axel yelled in his head and Maverick smiled, he knew she was lying. Whatever she is, she was good at hiding her true form but wasn't good at hiding her lies.

“You are coming with me, Miss,” Maverick said, pulling her along with him and she struggled to free herself.

When she saw everyone was staring at them, she composed herself and allowed herself to be dragged out. She hated scenes and she wasn't going to create one right now until she was alone with the bastard that thinks it's alright to drag a lady like that.

Elissa waited for the perfect time to strike and being alone in the parking lot of the boutique was the perfect time, adjusting her gown upwards so she could kick him hard on his loins and break his hand just as she had trained herself in her former pack, the Dark Blue Crest.

A luna had to be able to defend herself in times of trouble, especially during rogue wolves' attacks. That was their law. Elissa was trained in ways she felt like they were trying to take her life from her, but soon she was accustomed to it and could take out anybody, especially this alpha right in front of her.

Elissa was about to attack when she was slammed into a car and she felt a sharp pain in her right arm.

“Ouch!!? What the f^ck is your problem?" she exclaimed, rubbing her hands. She had to pretend she was human no matter what, unless he knew that she was pulled in by the mate bond. She didn't want to reject any other Alpha wolf. Once rejected and once pain was enough for her.

“I'm sorry, but you were about to attack me and I had to strike first. I want to make this clear, because I know you ain't just an ordinary human. You were attracted to me and Axel could tell you were lying when you said something about me looking like your missing brother. So let's get this straight and no games. You are my mate, destined by the moon goddess and you're going to accept me. You will become the future Luna of the Silver crest pack and my people will be glad to have someone like you." He commanded.

She hated the word, Luna, especially hearing it from an arrogant Alpha who clearly didn't seem like he was interested in the love that the mating bond comes with. ‘This could be another Rody,' she thought to herself.

Another Rody means another cheating bastard which would result in another rejection which she wasn't ready for. Prevention is better than cure. It would be best to avoid that kind of occurrence on time.

“I am sorry, but did you bump your head or something? What do you mean by Luna, Axel, moon goddess, silver crest pack, and mate?" Elissa asked him, still trying to pretend she knew nothing of what he was saying and that got Maverick pissed.

“We'll find out,” Maverick said, and before Elissa could understand what he meant she felt a sharp pain in her arm. Maverick had just made a little cut with his claws on her skin.

He observed the cut, timing when the healings would take place, ignoring the swears and insults being thrown at him by the lady that was meant to be his mate. Hoping Axel and his instincts were right, a minute later, her wounds were completely healed like it had never happened and he smirked.

“You were saying something about bumping my head on what, werewolf?" He growled. "By the way, I'm Alpha Maverick Xander, ruler of the Silver Crest pack and you are?" Maverick asked, stretching his hand towards her.

“Just a stranger you won't be seeing again. Let's just assume this never happened. I mean us, both of us never met. Yes, I admit I got pulled by the mating bond, but seeing you in person and your attitude, hell no. I do not want to spend the rest of my life with you." Elissa said, folding her arms and staring at him.

“Why, if I may ask? Is it because of the scratch on your skin? If it is, then I am sorry about it. I wanted to confirm if I was right or wrong. So I apologize, can we start over again from the beginning by telling me your name so we can start from somewhere." Maverick said with a smile on his face, which looked awkward to Elissa.

“No, I'm sorry. Your kind is so troublesome for me. If you will excuse me, I was busy inside.” Elissa said, turning around to walk away when she felt a pair of hands wrapped around her waist.

The beating sound of a heart that wasn't hers startled Maverick as he quickly withdrew his hands from her body, confused as he stared at her, not knowing what to say next. Instead of asking questions, he placed his hand on her stomach and, closing his eyes, he could hear the faint heartbeat of something inside her stomach. She was pregnant!!

“Y - Y - You are pregnant? How did it happen?" He asked her as his brain was confused, so was his wolf.

“Stay away from me.” That was the last thing she said, before running away from him. Maverick was too shocked to even move his legs, how much more running after her. He saw her stopping a cab and she gave the cab driver her address and they drove off.

Registering the address in his head, he was planning on paying her visit and finding out how his mate was pregnant, with a child for someone else.
