NATALIE'S POV
I needed to vent. I shifted to my wolf shape and ran towards the border as hard as I could. Only in this way could I slightly ease the pain in my heart.
I never thought that my unrequited love would end in such a humiliating way.
What was I hoping for? I thought Simon was different from those brainless men, like that fat werewolf and his companions. But it turned out that all men were the same. They liked pretty girls, not women who were their equals.
I let out a soft chuckle as I let my tears come out together with my pain. Never would I have imagined that loving someone can be this painful.
Should I expect something from my mate? Would he be like Simon and mock me after seeing the scars on my body? They didn't know that I was an abandoned child. If I didn't work hard to gain status, I would be bullied like an omega in the pack.
What was I thinking? I couldn't possibly meet my mate. Most people in the pack found their mate on their 18th birthday. When I realized that I, like Simon, had not found a mate, I thought Simon was a gift from the Moon Goddess, but I didn't expect it to be a bomb that had been set up long ago.
I was blown to pieces. No! I sped up again. I couldn't think about this anymore.I could only run as hard as I could, trying to leave my worries behind.
Suddenly, my brows furrowed as I became vigilant especially after seeing a werewolf with a different scent from our pack.
A rogue?!
An intimidating figure with glowing yellow eyes, their matted fur a deep grey, standing upright on powerful, feral legs.I think even if he's a rogue, he must be a leader.
His powerful demeanor made one can't help but think of this.
The border was an area where rogues frequently appear. I was so sad that I forgot about this, but now I was regaining my spirit.
I glanced at my surroundings, trying to find if this rogue wolf was just really alone. Seeing that he was, made me sigh in relief. This should be easy for me to take him down, after all, he was all alone. Since this rogue invade their territory, then it would be best to take care of him before he would do something wicked against our pack.
I can't let that happen.
Rogue wolves are the most troublesome to deal with, especially since they are lawless. Besides, our pack had been attacked by rogue wolves before which was why it made me alert especially after seeing a rogue wolf.
Eek! It was as if a pair of eyes behind him saw me and suddenly turned his head to look at me.
My breath slightly hitched. Its eyes were fixed on me and were staring at me for a second before he grunted at me and then turned his back, preparing to leave.
What a joke! How could I have let him just escape like that. What kind of warrior would I be then.
I squinted my eyes and grabbed a branch that was near my feet then swung it at the wolf, trying to hit his back with the branch.
However, the rogue wolf was not a fool. The moment that I raised my hand that was holding a branch and swung it towards his back, the rogue wolf jumped to the left to avoid the attack.
“What do you think you are doing here, rogue?” I coldly asked while I swung my fist to hit him, but again, he was able to dodge my attack.
It seemed that the rogue wolf had felt that I would continue to attack him, the rogue wolf turned his head at me and growled, showing his fangs and its glowing yellow eyes.
The rogue growled and squinted its glowing yellow eyes at me. However, I was slightly taken aback when I saw a sharp claw appear on my face, which made me take a step back so that it won't reach my face.
But, I never thought that there was a large root behind me that made me fall onto the ground. I couldn't help but let out a hiss when my butt hit the land.
When I raised my head to see if the rogue wolf was still there, I was surprised when I met his eyes. He was standing in front of me, growling and his eyes were cold yet sharp enough to pierce me.
Suddenly, I heard a hoarse voice seemingly about me. “I should be the one who should ask you, Lady. What do you think you're doing, attacking me as soon as you saw me?”
ALEXANDER's POV
Rogue? Do I stink that badly? This woman actually think about me like that.
I am an Alpha from the Crescent Pack. One of the strongest packs in the world and I've been trying to strengthen my pack so that it will be unbreakable and will become the strongest pillar. I have been burdened by responsibilities right at the moment when I turned twelve years old. But now, I'm already twenty-one.
I am on my way to further discuss with Alpha Locker about strengthening the bond of the two packs.
Just when I was about to continue to roam around in this area, trying to familiarize myself and explore, when suddenly I felt a presence behind my back who doesn't have good intentions.
Of course, now she is lying in front of me for my viewing pleasure.
Although she looked thin, because she was wearing a fitted black training shirt, I could see her muscles. She doesn't seem to be a damsel in distress who was waiting for her hero to save her.
I recognized her almost immediately, Alpha Locker's daughter, what an interesting woman. Since there is no danger, I will play with you.
I let out a soft chuckle as I shift back to my human form, without minding my clothes, making Natalie who was being pinned down by me, yelp from shock.
“What the f**k are you doing?!” She angrily hissed as her fist tried to punch me in the face.
But of course, for me, it's no different than a scratch from a kitten.
I glanced at Natalie who was squirming under me, trying to get away from me. She looks like she can't wait to get rid of me.
Seeing her acting like this, I couldn't help but want to tease her.
I teasingly moved my face towards her face, as my hands gently yet seductively caressed her belly.
I saw her stiffen as her breath hitched. She looked at me sharply and before I could get close to her face when she used her forehead to strike my forehead hard and she used both of her freed hands to slap my face.
“Pervert!” She angrily cursed and kicked me on the stomach before she run away without looking back.
Seeing her run away without hesitation and even beat an Alpha like me, I couldn't help but chuckle.
Is there anyone as interesting as her?
But even if there is, I would only want that woman.
A smirk is visible on my lips as I dressed up myself. I looked in the direction where she left and a cold light flashed in my eyes.
See if you can run away again the next time we meet, my lady.
