Chapter Three: He Killed Him!

We participated in a great event to represent the pack just one month before my 18th birthday. I was nervous to go, but I had Edira for support during the night. It occurred in a magnificent place, and the theme went in gold and red. Orfeo had bought me a gold dress that covered my body from head to toe, but a strip was tied around my waist to give it some form. It was a friendly atmosphere, and everyone attending was dancing, eating, and drinking together. Many of the top-ranking wolves were there that night.
Edira and I ran away from Orfeo and his family on our arrival. We hid in the back of the ballroom, drank champagne, and enjoyed each other's time. We had such a blast together, and I remember being happy for a while, forgetting my horrible reality. Throughout the evening, I felt a presence in the room seeking my attention. And soon, the air around me was filled with the fragrance of the first snowfall of the year, mixed with leather and jasmine.
It was so intoxicating, so addictive, that I needed more.
I began looking around the room when my eyes suddenly locked with a pair of dark hazelnut eyes full of desire. The bearer of the eyes was a tall, dark man with black hair. His hair was cut in a modern style, leaving him shaved on the sides and short hair on the top naturally curled.
He had a broad and powerful jaw and a short beard. A long scar descended to the opposite side of his nose, to his cheek. The guy looked dangerously sexy. All I could do was inhale that man. I gazed shamelessly at his broad shoulders and muscular body, and, oh my God, he made me wet my panties. Shit, I was so turned on by his appearance, and I felt my panties soaking in my juice and dripping on my thighs. This was not good. A few wolves were smelling me, and the man must have also noticed my excitement because I spotted something hard under his pants. His eyes became black, and he roared, with a loud voice,
"MINE!" A few men who had difficulty composing themselves by throwing themselves over me withdrew instantaneously. And I could sense a possessive side coming into my body, and I roared back, "MINE!"
The room became silent, and everyone seemed to be holding their breath. Unfortunately, this was the worst thing that could ever happen. Because in the next second, Orfeo shifted into his wolf and threw himself across the room the exact second he was about to approach me.
Many people shifted into their wolves in a reflex when Orfeo landed on my newly founded mate, pushing him down to the floor with his paws. And before Edira drove me away, I saw Orfeo tear my mate's throat out. Edira dragged me into the back of the building and yelled at me, but I didn't hear anything she said; everything I saw was my mate. The beautiful man is lying on the ground with Orfeo above him. <span></span><span></span><span></span><span>Ripping</span><span> him into pieces.</span><span></span><span></span><span></span>
This is where we became wolves and began to flee. Now I had a chance to win my freedom. But would I ever feel free again? My mate died, the man I was meant to be with, the man I would build a family with, reigning side by side.
Rona cried, howling into the dark night as we ran through the forest, mourning our lost mate.
Because nobody can outlive that, right?
One year later.
We crossed the border towards Spain and have not been followed for more than a month now; we have lost the dark hunters of Orfeo somewhere in Croatia. We found a little cabin to rent, it was perfect for us, and we had enough money to live and pay the rent for a year. It was smaller, one bedroom. But it was all that we needed. I hated sleeping alone, so we shared the bed anyways. It was a simple kitchen with a stove, and it was shyly furnished with a table, two pin chairs, and a small clock radio placed on the countertop by the window. The mint green wallpaper was a little threadbare here and there, and there was a spider web in almost every corner. But we got the place cheap, so we couldn't complain to the owner.
Edira called this "the healing year," I guess it was.
I didn't have a chance to give myself space to feel and work through all the events that had taken place the year before we ran. And I missed my mom. She decided to stay and try to give us a head start. They didn't mention their plans, my mother and Edira. I never knew they had placed out a bag with essential needs for our escape, but that was probably for the best.
Everything Orfeo did to me, my mate being killed, had broken my soul. My wolf and I mourned and wept for six months, and we still do on a bad days.
I'm strong, but everybody comes to a breaking point sometimes. And I had slammed mine really hard. But I know I will get up and heal myself because that's what an Alphas daughter does. She gets herself ready to fight, and she aims to kill!

Ramon's Pov Oh yes, baby, just like that. Mmm. Good girl. Fuck, baby. Keep going... Mm. Yeah. I grabbed her hair and pushed harder into her mouth and cum. "Mmm, yummy." She smiled at me like the fantastic mouth-fuck she was. But that's all she is to me and will ever be. Since that night, I couldn't touch another girl like I used to. I only saw the girl with long dark hair and piercing blue eyes—the girl who knocked me over and stole my heart in one heartbeat. Fuck, her juice smelled terrific, and I was dreaming about her every night. I was playing it all over and over again. I always woke up when Marise turned around, and the last thing I saw was her eyes, full of horror before I woke up breathless. If this fucker had never attacked me, she would have been under me this year; she would beg me to take her again and again. She would stand alongside me, reigning with me over our pack. When I recovered, I tried to find her, but she'd been gone a long time. A woman named Ana told

Marise's Pov It was August, and the temperature in Spain was hot; a heatwave was taking place, causing the grass that was once green and lush to brown and burnt down. Edira and I spent most of the day in a river in the woods, a few miles from the cabin. It was unsustainable to be indoors. It was a sauna during the daytime, and we still needed to fix a fan or air conditioner. We found a shallow part of the river where we could sit and splash around most of the day to cool off. We could sit and talk for hours or just be quiet. I loved that with Edira. We did not always have to speak, but we could sit quietly in consent and enjoy each other's company in silence. I just needed to feel her presence to feel calm. I was so lucky to have her in my life. She is so wise and kind with a brave heart. Sometimes it feels like she has lived for an eternity, and I often find myself deep in thought after we have spoken for hours, processing it all. "How are you today? Your energy feels calmer and

Ramon's Pov We arrived at the cabin, and I nodded to Ricco to check on the house as I looked around the courtyard. Only a little to see. But I could sense a familiar smell beating on me. She had been here. Marise. The girl I've been trying to find for a year. I yearned for her so much. The girl who drove me a bit mad during her absences. I felt my wolf, Nero, go utterly crazy within me. This can't be true. "Ricco. That's her." I yelled and ran inside the cabin, which smelled more pungent. Ricco turned around and ran into me in the chamber. "Are you serious?" He looked at me with an air of confusion. I nodded. "Yes. She was here." We were interrupted by a roar that hit us from the woods. F*ck. One look at each other, and we ran out and moved into our wolves and departed in the direction from which we heard the roar coming. Several other roars were heard, and I could feel my increased rage. I could hear motions through the mind link from the young pups, and one of them was hurt. Idi

Marise's PovWe crossed the woods, and I felt he was following us behind us. This can't be real. It must be some bad-witted thing. My mate is not alive anymore. There's no way it could be him.Rona and I fought to be in control. I managed to overpower her, even if she was in her form. She tried to get me to go back there, but I wasn't able to. I can't go through another heartbreak. I am condemned to be alone now, to never have a partner, and I have accepted it. I will pull myself together and be strong on my own. I will form my own pack one day, avenge my partner's death and kill Orfeo once and for all. I heard him getting closer, so I set a higher speed, and Aesira started slackening off. Shit. I forgot that nobody could keep up. My wolf, Rona, was swift and super pliable. I had never met another wolf capable of keeping pace with me.Edira sometimes had to use magic to hold on to my pace, especially when we were running from Orfeo's dark hunters.A dark hunter is a wolf with deep gre

I followed her through the forest but wasn't prepared for how fast she was. I'm the quickest wolf in my pack, but this wolf had a higher rate. I really had to push myself to keep up with her. I was surprised by her reaction. What made her run away from me? I would never do anything to hurt her. I just wanted her to talk to her. To find out who I'm meant to be with.Luckily for me, she was running straight for my border, and I mind-linked my guardians, the gray twins, to stop them from running further. And seconds later, I hear them stumble down on the ground. I didn't want her to see me as a threat, so I decided to change into my human form, even though my wolf Nero was hesitant. But it was as if I could reach her like this. I didn't have a change of clothes, so I guess I will go commando. I called for the older wolves to come down to the border and circle up around them. I wasn't going to allow her to escape again without an explanation.I could hear Gabe, one of the guards, was giv

Marise's PovRamon and I shifted back into our human form and were all over each other. We tumbled as our hands played over our bare bodies in the lush grass. There was no holding back now; we had to yield and complete the bond before we went mad. I was caught in the moment and knew I was over my old self."I can't believe this is true. It's beyond my imagination," Ramon mumbles in my ear, and I feel my body tremble on his hot breath caressing my neck. He kissed me hard and demanding, and I surrendered under his touch. He made me crazy with emotions, and I lost myself in his power. I felt his hand slide between my legs, and my body was wet and ready for him. Yet all my fears and previous traumas triggered me as soon as I felt it."It's okay, Marise. He loves you. He'll understand If you're not ready. Or you can let me cloud you until it's done," Rona whispers when she feels my hesitation. "Hey. Are you okay?" Ramon whispers, and I feel his hardness poking on my thigh. He needed this no

Marise's Pov"I want you to lose yourself in me, the same way I am losing myself inside of you," Ramon whispers through the kisses, and I nod, "Take me harder than; make me lose it." And he did. Ramon started pumping into me faster, and I got blown away by how he felt good and needed more. I was emotionally mad and gave in to what I wanted. He groaned harder when I pierced my nails on his back, and I realized he was more excited while doing this.I felt pushed over the edge again, and I would reach my climax again. The moment I let myself go was the same Ramon's fang bit into my neck and marked me while he was pulsing inside me. I was blinded by the white light when he did it, and I never felt or lived something like that. And the moment he let my neck go, I allowed my fangs to sink into his neck, reclaiming him back. He groaned, and I felt his hand grab my back while I did.Gasping and gasping heavily hung over us, and Ramon dragged me up so I was sitting before him. He studies me wit

Juliana's Pov I cast a defense spell, which created a temporary opening through the shield, but we had to be quick before it closed again. "This way," I shouted as we entered the building where she was held. I let my force of energy freeze every guard in our way, and we rushed up the stairs to the second floor. "Grab her, Valentino!" I screamed once I kicked open the door, turned, and threw a defense spell at the witch and a colossal werewolf coming down the hallway. I already knew they would come, and we would make it out, but I would be drained for days after this rescue mission. Valentino had the girl in his arms, and we exited the building and zoomed out of the shield, running the fastest we ever had before. This was it; now we had to keep running until we reached the highest point in the northern parts of Norway, and it was a long run ahead of us.Ricco's Pov The hellhounds were on our trail, and I had never felt this much adrenaline rush through my system.

Edira's Pov "What do you mean we have to warn Ricco? What's going on? Did you have a vision?" Baldo asked, and I nodded. "Yes, I did. I saw Ricco getting hurt, and it did not end well!" I replied, and Baldo gulped. "This will not end well, Edira. I can feel it. With Ramon and Ricco gone, the pack will face a dark future ahead." Baldo sighed. "I need to warn Ricco, Baldo." I replied, and I closed my eyes and put all my energy into connecting Ricco. My body was trembling, and I repeated the words repeatedly, determining for him to hear me.Baldo placed his hands above my arms, channeling his energy with mine.Ricco's PovWe had been running over these mountains for days, and it was getting harder to get ahead.More wolves were sent out to take us down, and the battles grew more challenging.

Ramon's Pov. "Make it stop!" I growled to Edira when I felt my neck burn like it was set on fire. I had been tortured ever since Marise was taken, and it was getting insufferable. My body was weakened, leaving me vulnerable. And if it came out that the Alpha of the El Eclipse de Luna pack is weak, and his brother wasn't there to protect him in the presence... It would not end well. I saw Edira freeze in the movement, and the feeling of something warm was dripping down my neck. "I don't understand," Edira mumbled, her eyes fixated on my neck. Baldo frowned, and it looked like something clicked for him. "Mirrored pain...." Baldo mumbled, "What does that mean?" I growled at him, feeling the neck of my skin being torn off me. "I can't describe in detail for the moment, but I think it means that a mated pair will experience the same physical pain through a dark spell, but I don't know how it works in practice." Baldo stammered. Edira's Pov. Mirrored pain... If that was the cause,

Edira's Pov"There must be something we are missing here," I mused, glancing over the ocean. I could see Baldo nod and sigh in the corner of my eye. Marise had been gone for weeks, and my hope sank daily. I felt like the biggest failure. How could this happen? We were so careful.I finally thought everything was going to be okay. "It's not your fault, you know. Stop blaming yourself." Baldo mumbled, and I felt his hand on my arm. "I know that in my heart, but my mind tells me otherwise... I was so close to getting to her... But I just let her slip away. I don't understand how he got her. Marise would never run to him willingly." Baldo's eyes narrowed, and then he stood up quickly, "There is one spell that can let you take over other beings' will and power, but only a powerful witch could do that. And it would require the use and knowledge of black magic." Baldo clenched his jaw, and I felt my heart drop. "So Orfeo must have had a witch with him? And knowing Orfeo... It can't be

3 days since Marise was taken - Edira's Pov. The days passed by with no trace of Marise. Ricco had left the pack with two trackers hoping to find clues to where she was being taken. Ricco left Delta Rafaela in charge since Ramon could not rule the pack in his condition.Ramon was locked inside his bedroom due to his wrestling pain. The pain increased and was getting worse with every passing day. His whines shook the pack's ground, and the wolves ran with their tails lowered as their Alpha's pain weighed down their souls.But this also meant that Marise was in the same pain. I felt the tears streaming down my cheeks at the thought of Marise in the hands of that monster. Our worst fear had become our reality. Baldo and I tried to find a way to help Ramon, but we were stuck.No spell we had tried had helped him, and I feared that this was something that couldn't be stopped easily.Baldo introduced me to Niebla during this time.She was a very remarkable little woman.

Marise's Pov I was so tired of running, but I couldn't stop myself from doing so. It felt like someone was controlling me from the outside, making me go forward. I was running through the woods quickly with the wind in my hair. I saw the nightfall come and the sunrise before me.And then I saw the face of the man I never wanted to cross paths with again. "There she is," Orfeo said with a smirk, and my brain screamed for me to turn around, but my legs forced me to go forward. "Bojana," He uttered and then glanced down at the petite lady standing next to his side, "It's time," He muttered, and the lady nodded before she stepped before me and hung a necklace around my neck. "With this necklace, now I seal this soul, loveless, fearless, and no emotions to longer grow. May this soul forever be dark, to never feel any more sparks or talk." Bojana kept mumbling, and I wanted to tell her off, but my whole inside froze. I couldn't move or speak. "Perfect," Orfeo mumbled when Bojana stepped

Ricco's Pov I have stayed away for a month, a whole fucking month. My mind is going wild; my wolf is crying, begging me to return to Marise. But I can't. She's my brother's...mate...I don't know why I feel like this. The only thing I can wish for is to find my mate, so this madness can stop... Because we can't be destined, Marise and I... That's impossible.This was so fucking unfair, and I don't know what I did to deserve feeling like this towards someone's other mate...I glanced out over the busy streets of Barcelona, wishing that this would all go away. Ramon's Pov"Marise? Look at me!" I shouted, and I clenched my fist when she kept ignoring me. "What the hell is wrong with you?" I hissed, and Marise gasped, "What's wrong with me? How about you answer me what the hell is wrong with you? Do you really think I wanna interact with an ignorant, obnoxious man-child? The way you keep raising your tone at me? Namecalling? Where's the respect? The understanding? Don't you have any s

Marise's Pov I went back and forth inside the condo, reflecting on the encounter with Ramon and Ricco... I was so confused. "Marise?" I overheard Edira calling my name while knocking on the door, "Hey!" I said when I opened it for her, and she stepped inside the hall. "What's going on?" asked Edira, and they stared at me, confused. "What do you mean?" I replied and frowned. "Ramon's acting crazy, and Ricco packed his bags and left."" He left?" I replied nervously,"That's your concern?" Edira said and wrinkled her nose. "What about your crazy mate?" Edira added, "What the hell is going on, Marise?" Edira sighed and fell on her back across the bed. "I don't know that myself?" I mumbled and lay down next to her side.We lay in silence for a while, and my thoughts were dispersed. Why did Ricco leave? And why did I feel so strongly connected to him? What the hell was Ramon on about? He was out of his mind before..."Do you believe that you can have more than one mate?" I asked, a

Marise's Pov I went round after round on the tracks, trying to justify what I had just done. Why do I feel so guilty? I didn't want to kill her. But if I hadn't, I would be dead right now. But was my life worth more than hers?"Something's wrong with me," I said to myself, and I was pretty sure I was the only werewolf with a conscience. "Nothing's wrong with us," said Rona, "We did what we needed to do to survive and defend our title."I sighed, knowing she was right.The darkness came, I felt a bit lighter, and my energy faded.Ramons Pov"Why can't I reach her?" I muttered, trying to reach Marise through the mental connection, but she wouldn't stop blocking me.I started getting worked up. Marise won the fight, so how come she's ignoring me now?I began to lose patience and asked for an explanation for this ludicrous disappearance and silent treatment.Edira's Pov"Where the hell is Marise?" Ramon angrily uttered when he stepped into my room while I was changing. "What the fuck?
