A cold wind blew as Dawn sat on the green lush grass on the side of the lake, under the moon.
She hugged her knees to her chest as she stared ahead; she was really tired, and she was hungry; she was starving, and she had no idea where she should go.
She didn't want to go back to the pack. She looked to her side where the mysterious man was sleeping but when she turned around; she saw that the man was no longer over there.
She was shocked to see that, how the hell was the injured man able to move so swiftly and vanish without her noticing?
Before she could even move, she felt someone hugging her from behind, making her panic as strong and sturdy arms were wrapped around her body, pulling her into a hard chest.
She felt something on her skin near the skin, and before she could even react, she felt someone keeping there on the crook of her neck and inhaling deeply her scent, before licking her scent.
She tried to move but was held firmly by the man, who said in his rough voice, "Don't move... I just need a little bit of your blood." he said before he opened his mouth and sank his teeth into Dawn's flesh making her wince with pain.
She squeezed her eyes shut as the man drank her blood. How is this possible? This man clearly had the eyes of an alpha and she was sure that he was a werewolf then why was he drinking her blood? Is he a vampire?
She had lost some blood while she had miscarried and hence she was extremely weak and now this man was also sucking her blood.
One thing she knew very well was that this man was not someone ordinary and that he was very powerful.
And right now she was no match for him, she also didn't know if she was going to survive this time.
She had no idea how much blood this vampire was going to drink.
But she had already started to feel dizzy.
Her body was getting weak and her head was getting heavy as she sank into the embrace of the man.
The man finally took out his fangs after drinking her blood and sighed with relief, as he stared at the sky and smiled.
"Wow, it was amazing," he said before he looked at the woman in his arms who drifting in and out of consciousness.
"Come on, it was not that much blood, why does it look like you are going to die?"
Dawn just lay in his arms and stared at him before her eyes were filled with tears, this is not how she wanted to die.
This is not how she wanted her life to be turned how.
This was not what she wanted and this was really unfair.
Tears slipped from her eyes before she closed her eyes and the man just stared at her with a confused expression, as she lost consciousness in his arms.
"What a burden," he said as he stared at the woman, and for some reason, he could not leave her alone, he was entranced by her, the taste of her blood was amazing and addicting, and for the first time, he felt so warm after drinking blood. He wanted more, he couldn’t let go of this woman.
"Please..." she tried to speak something.
Rafael felt something in his heart when he heard that voice full of pain and misery calling out to him.
He didn't know why but his body just automatically moved.
Tears slipped through her eyes, as her hand was over her stomach, "save my child..." she said as she cried and she looked in pain.
Rafael closed his eyes and sighed, looks like he drank the blood of a pregnant woman, no wonder she was weak and she fainted.
In the end, he gently removed her hairs from her face, revealing her beautiful face, making him stare at her and just picked her up in bridal style and walked away.

“Rafael!” Rafael rolled his eyes and said, “Yes father.”
“Where the hell have you been?” his father asked in an angry voice.
“I was busy dealing with some rogues, what is it Dad?”
His father sighed and said, “Have you thought about what I had said? About your marriage? It’s about time that you get married, your alpha ceremony is just next week! And you have not brought anyone to me yet.”
Rafael sighed and was about to say something but his father interrupted him and said, “Your mother and I have decided something”
Rafael did not have a good feeling about it, “what is it?”
“We are going to postpone your alpha ceremony till you find a luna.”
“What!” Rafael yelled, “You cannot do this to me, dad!”
“I can and I will, you do not have a mate and we are not even sure if you will ever have your mate! The pack needs a luna and she has to be strong.”
Rafael clenched his fists, he knew very well that his father’s wife, who was his stepmother had put this bullshit into his father’s head, that woman wanted to make her son the alpha and wanted him out of the way.
Rafael was furious, he turned his head to the side and saw the woman lying on the bed in his room, an idea suddenly popped into his head and he smirked, “Who said that I have no one?”
“What?” his father asked.
“Father, I have found someone,” Rafael said.
“Who is it and where they are?”
Rafael just pointed toward the sleeping woman and said, “She is sleeping once she is awake I will bring her to meet you.”

When Dawn woke up the next time she found herself in a room that she didn't recognize as her own, she got up and sat on the bed.
She looked around and judging from the aura and smell around the room; she knew that she was not in the pack.
She got up from the bed came to the window and stared outside, indeed this was not her pack. She kept her hand over the window and sighed.
"I see that you are awake." she suddenly turned back when she heard the voice and saw the same man from before standing before her with a smirk on his face and with his red eyes staring at her up and down.
Dawn looked at him with sharp eyes, the man took a step towards her and she stepped back, her back colliding with the huge window, she was cornered.
"What do you want?" Dawn said, this man sucked her blood back then but right now he looked normal and from his scent, he seemed to be a werewolf.
Rafael pinched her chin with his index finger and thumb and said, "Is that the tone that you use to talk to someone who saved you?"
Dawn glared at him and said, "Do you always thank someone who saved you by injuring them?"
Rafael smirked and said, "I don't like people talking back to me fierce little wolf."
Dawn said, "Where am I ? And who are you? why did you bring me here?"
Rafael smiled and said, "Now you are asking some sensible questions... my name is Rafael Heinrich."
Dawn's eyes widened when she heard that, of course, she had heard this name, Rafael Heinrich, the heir to the most powerful pack in the world.
Rafael Heinrich is a famous person in the supernatural world, not only he is the next alpha of the most powerful pack in the world, but it is said that he is very cruel, and he is also very strong. If anyone got on his bad side then he would make sure that they vanished from the face of the earth, no one dared to mess with him as they did not how what Rafael would do if he got angry.
There have been several rumors about Rafael, but no one knew much about him, other than the fact that he is very powerful. He was a mysterious person
Dawn took a step back as she stared at the person before her, Rafael’s aura was so dominating and powerful, but for some reason, she did not feel scared, however, after everything that she had heard about Rafael she didn’t want to stay near him.
People consider him a mad dog and he is extremely dangerous, “let me go.”
“I am afraid I can’t do that,” he said in his deep husky voice.
“What? Why?”
“Because you are going to be my bride.”
