Wreak havoc

CHASE POV

"Mate!"

I sighed, rolling my eyes as Ajax growled. I heard the word again today. I didn't know hearing the phrase mate could be as annoying as this.

But that wasn't the most annoying; it was the fact that Allison was here that got me madder.

I didn't know how she got here or what she was on to, but I didn't think like it. Also, I didn't feel it was a good idea for her to be out late in the forest.

Staring up at the bright red moon again, I gritted my teeth, swatting at a branch that snaked around me.

The forest I was in wasn't safe. My ears twitched as I heard the howls that meant werewolves would be out soon hunting, and Allison wouldn't be spared.

No matter how strong she believed she was, I doubt she could face off more than two Werewolves alone.

Perhaps, I shouldn't underestimate her, but there was no way I'd be watching that happen, seeing as she could be my mate.

The last thing I wanted was for her to be snatched away from me, and I'd remain mateless forever.

I was aware it would even make the moon goddess gloat more. She'd be happy I had lost my mate and made my life even more miserable until my demise.

"I smell blood," Ajax said.

My head tilted in the air, and I sniffed.

I did too. And I knew whose blood it was. My nostril flared as the familiar delicious scent wafted into it. Lemon, lavender, and whipped cream. It was Allison's.

Usually, I doubted the scent would entice me as I was not too fond of the three things mentioned above, but it did now, and I could do nothing about it. Or could I?

Maybe if I tried harder, I'd be able to resist, but I didn't want to.

Somehow, I enjoyed what it was doing to me, but I couldn't openly admit it.

Allison's blood was the most delicious I had ever perceived. Since we became close, I had been moved many times to mark her, but then I didn't want to rush things for fear of us not being reasonable together.

I had never had a second thought when with someone else but with Allison, I had second thoughts about everything. Aside from her scent, which had gotten my attention and my wolf's, her blood was the next I perceived. It had sent me over the edge and made me restless.

It had made me want to imprint her, then growl about it and warn people who cared to listen to back off because she was mine.

I knew I shouldn't feel this way about her after what she said; she rejected and cursed at me that I'd forever remain mateless. But, I guess I didn't care, seeing as I never accepted nor rejected her rejection.

Yet, it stung. I never imagined that would happen since we were attracted to each other sexually. I thought that was all she needed and never mind all the other things she was pushing to happen between us.

Maybe fúcking her wasn't enough.

Allison had given me signals, and I had purposefully ignored all, but I hadn't made it too obvious.

Still, she realised it hence the rejection.

Allison was the only woman whose rejection had affected me deeply.

Many rejected me when they saw I only intended to play with them. And most times, it wasn't my fault. I always assumed they were my mate until our first encounter.

Allison assumed we were good together. Or maybe it was the sex between us that was good.

Although I never accepted her rejection, no one stayed with me that long. After rejecting them, they left me, realising I was a douche. And all the time that happened, I never corrected them. I preferred they assumed the worst about me than have weird notions.

"We'll lose her if we keep stalling," Ajax spoke up.

"I might as well get killed if I behave irrationally." I let out, rolling my eyes even though Ajax couldn't see me.

It was weird; Ajax was protective of Allison. My wolf had never thought about me in this manner, even when I was at my worse.

Of course, Ajax was aware if I died, it would as well.

But I guess it was exciting to have found the mate that was talked about extensively. The mate I was skeptical about and the mate that had rejected me even before I got to mate with her.

Fuck, Ajax should care more about me than her!

"I care about you," Ajax said again. And I rolled my eyes. "We might as well die if we don't get to her before she runs off. Would you prefer for that to happen?"

She wouldn't run away, I said to myself.

For some reason, I knew where Alisson always was. I didn't keep tabs on her, but I just knew, and somehow, my feet always led me to her, just like now.

I saw a figure which was none other than Alisson, huddled near a large tree.

I didn't know what she was doing because I needed to get closer to her. Even though that was the last thing I wanted to do, I couldn't control my body.

"I know you are here."

I stilled as I heard her voice. It was breathy, and I heard her wince.

"Don't think because I am wounded; I can't cause damage to you. As I said, I am a powerful Delta werewolf and can wreak havoc on you even when I am weak." Allison said.

I doubted that. Her voice wasn't as strong and confident as two days ago.

I moved closer to her and cursed softly as I saw the leg that she was gripping.

She wasn't just weak. Her leg was fucking shattered!

Who the fuck did this?! I found myself growling out, but I remembered she wouldn't hear me.

Fúck, she couldn't hear because I was in my freaking wolf form!
