An extra long chapter! Whoop.
AZALEA'S POVThe next day after another brutal round of training, alpha Henry drops the bomb shell that it would be out last day in camp as we will finally be leaving the forest to the rendezvous point of Red Fire. Vehicles are waiting to take us into the pack.We could all feel the tension rise. Before now, to many of us, Red Fire seemed like a myth but as it drew closer, conspiracies flew at what we would find.I didn't know what to feel, scared or excited. My life had changed so much in the last two weeks, things I used to think would never happened have and others I didn't want to did. I certainly did not anticipate whatever is between Alpha Henry and I.I tried my best to avoid his stares through the training."Yay! We are a few hours away from becoming slaves." Lexa sighs."Are you scared of what might happen when we get there?." I ask her. She nods."Aren't we all?.""I know this whole thing has been hard, but I think Red Fire might not be so bad after all." I say slowly."At l
AZALEA'S POV"You were supposed to be mated to my sister, and I am 19, we have this huge age gap……" I list off. There are a thousand reasons why this is going to end with me getting hurt."Tha, that is a different story." He stops me, frowning. "A long one, but since we are on the matter." He gestures for me to sit on the tall rock that looked like a chair."I don't know if it was your sister, but I did end up finding my mate that night of the attack." He starts slowly. My heart plummets then I remember that I was with Eloise till she died, I doubt if the mate he found was her.I was about to ask when he continues with his story. "She was the most eccentric wolf I have ever seen, large and proud, definitely an alpha, but something was off about her." He turned to face the spring as the mist hovered over the clear green water."Because the next minute she rejected the bond and walked away."My mouth snaps shut. "It was in the woods, behind the, um, council house or what do you call it?.
HENRY'S POVShe grinds into me as her arousal hits my nose in a sweet aroma. My teeth began to itch, as my wolf starts to push forward.I pull away from her unwillingly, she flashes me one of her rare smiles breathing heavily."I think its best we pause here." I whisper, unable to control my wolf's urges to mark her. Her lips were swollen and red from my kisses. I place another peck on them as if sealing my fate. There is no going back now.I finally let go of her legs and feeling how wet her pussy is for me. Oh Goddess help me to stay away. "Or I don't think I will be able to stop myself from taking you here and now."Her green eyes stare into mine as if telling me she wanted me just as badly, but I know better. She is not one of those girls I fuck for the sake of a release. I am willing to wait till she is ready, as long as that takes.Shit, I've got it bad.Also because I want to be sure of what I feel for her, to be sure spending this much time in the forest is not messing with my
AZALEA'S POVI was adopted, found, really, by a bush of Azaleas, hence my name. My adoptive parents had 2 children before me, a boy and a girl, and a set of twins after me, also a boy and a girl, making 5 kids in all. They love us equally but leave us to ourselves most of the time, busy with pack duties and also personal, duties - they're so into each other, it's gross. Dad could never, even if he tried, keep his hands off mom. Kai, our eldest brother says that’s how it has always been. I dream of a love like that, a man who would love me flaws and all, obsessed with me even when all the hairs on my head turn grey, and me, him, even when he can’t walk straight from arthritis.Kai and Eloise, my older siblings don't like me much, I guess they feel like I intruded, on their perfect little family. They have never really come out to say out rightly, but they do these subtle things like, make me do all their share of chores, and just stay away form me until absolutely necessary.My younger
AZALEA'S POV"Kai what are you doing!, get out!." I manage to order, but it did nothing to help."Why, I've not had my fun yet." I walk backwards, putting distance between us. "You know, I've always thought of what your skin would feel like in my arms, those perky breasts in my mouth…….." He laughs in a diabolical way, I've never heard before, pushing his brown hair out of the way, I walk away with each step he takes towards me."Kai, you're drunk and in my room! Get out, before you do something stupid." I shout, by now, all sense being quiet and respectful out the window. But he doesn't listen."Kai, stop right there, I'm going to shout!.""Of course you are, when I show you all the pleasures of the world." In a swift movement, he is right in front of me, his hands on my neck, I try to run, but he's fast, I reach for something to hit him with, my eyes dilating as he restricts my air flow. His hands begin to rake my body in a very, very disgusting way, I manage to pick a pen holder an
AZALEA'S POVWeeks LaterI stand in front of my mirror, a deep scowl etched to my face, taking off my hat. I wouldn’t generally say I hate myself, but I'm so different and its not even the cute kind.I dyed my hair yesterday but somehow, overnight, the ends had grown an inch and a half longer. I used to be pretty bald as a kid, my hair was so short that I could only put them in little pig tails, but age 13 or 14, my hair started growing like some sort of lab freak.Mom had been excited, she said it only meant I would have a pretty wolf, my hair was supposed to be the color of my wolf. I didn’t believe her, not more than do I now. It has been years and said pretty wolf is yet to show up.It wouldn’t be that big a deal if the inch I grew over night wasn’t bright silver in color. I drop my face into my palm, biting my lip for a minute to mute out the scream of curses I was going to let out, I didn’t want to call any attention to myself. Unlike Kai, all pressure has been on my older sist
AZALEA'S POV“No she doesn't.” She defends immediately. I arch an eyebrow at her, she smiles.“I had a lot of sisters growing up too, and we never really saw eye to eye, even though we were almost the same ages,” I interrupt her and she let me.“You and all your sisters are from the same parents, Eloise sees me as a pest.” I tell her truthfully and she gasps, I guess I'm breaking her heart with my words, she probably doesn’t think it's as bad as it is.“If you think like that of your sister, then how are you any better Azalea?.” She tells me firmly, I want to argue, but I decide against it, it's no use."Have you ever tried to mend things with your sister other than concluding based on your prejudice?. If not, then the fault also lies with you." I want to tell her all how Eloise and her friends use to mock me in school. How she would let them laugh at me. How would I endure that and try to "mend things" when I have done nothing wrong but being adopted. “I’ll talk to Eloise so you guy
AZALEA'S POV"No." I whisper quietly. I didn't, I believe we should all be allowed to choose what we want and not just be forced to accept something that has been said before we were even born, how is that fair to us?.I guess that makes me even more different to the rest of my family, werewolves are all about Destinies, fated mates, fated life, fated job in the pack, everything, depending on who you are born of, everything is predesigned, and sickening."Not being able to chose you own life is not fair mom."She smirks, like she already knows my answer, I don't really hide my displeasure, I'm very vocal about how I see things, I'm pretty sure I've mentioned that reason before."Destiny does not mean you don't get to chose your own life, flower." She starts with her usual light tone."It means what will be will be…….."I frown, not quite getting the difference."What will be, will be and you'll help it to be, knowingly or unknowingly, if you like it or not." She says. Mom always has th
