Chapter 6 - Definitely not with wings though!

Alejandro’s point of view:

I returned the threatening glare Ivan was throwing my way with one of my own.

“How dare you cross my territory?” I roared.

“Don’t you dare bark at me, you mutt.” Ivan snapped, his pupils thinning out before his eyes turned black.

My wolf, Leo, fought to break free and growled, dangerously deep and low, forcing me into submission but I refused to yield to his demand.

‘Damn it, Leo! Just stay put, I don’t want our mate to be scared of us.’

‘You are the one who scared her away. I was doing great until you put your foot in it.’

‘Fine, I admit that what I did was reckless but just listen to me this time, okay?’

‘I will not stay put if anything goes out of control.’

‘That is if anything goes out of control.’

‘I’ll have your back.’ Once I got my wolf’s accordance, I smirked at Ivan whose forehead creased up into confusing deep folds.

I heard my mate gasp as I half-shifted. I could do nothing about it, at least not now since I had a vampire to throw off my territory.

“Bring it on.” I gestured for him to come my way which he did, almost immediately.

I punched him right into the face. Not expecting this move, he lost his footing. I seized this opportunity, hoisted him up and hurled him down, dry leaves flying around us. He snarled and got up.

I winced when I saw the dent his ass made on the forest ground.

He raised his hand to claw at my face. I swiftly body-swerved it and before he could figure out my next move, I leveled myself off the ground with the help of my wings. I kicked him in the chest and threw him a hundred feet away as payback.

I spun around to a defensive stance when he soared back. Holding a fist up aimed straight at me, his expression was some-where between a snarl and a sneer.

I stepped into the charge, raising a fist to counter-attack his punch. Angered, he blindly leaped at me. I stepped to the side. He ran straight ahead, swan-dived across me and struck the large tree trunk hard. Poor tree!

That crash did nothing to him. If anything, it pissed him off. I grinned.

He picked himself up, shook his head, and spat blood.

He took one step, two, and then flew at me.

I blocked his first strike at my throat, parried a furry of slashing blows to my chest.

He recoiled in disgust. “Why can’t I beat you?”

“You need to try harder.”

“I will tear out your tongue.” He snarled and clawed at my back.

At the same time, my wolf whimpered hearing our mate scream in agony thereupon.

I could no longer restrain Leo. He pushed me back as he shifted and took complete control over the fight.

Leo pounced right at Ivan and knocked him off his feet. We went down hard, Ivan first. Baring his fangs at Ivan, Leo plunged right into his throat, aiming to tear his head off his shoulders.

We struggled. Ivan flailed. His left hand crossed Leo’s face, clawing at his eyes but he swiftly dodged it.

Enraged, Leo bit his hand, the same hand which clawed at my back and hurt our mate.

Ivan howled as Leo’s fangs buried into his flesh, drawing out blood. He shrieked, convulsed. Satisfied, Leo withdrew back to let me finish this off once he caught the fear flashing in Ivan’s eyes.

“You know what; my mate has had enough for the day. I’ll let you go if you get off my territory. If you don’t, I won’t hesitate to tear your head and your arms off your shoulders.” I smirked when he flinched at my threat.

I moved back to let him escape. Pinning my eyes on him, I watched as he took an unsteady step backwards hesitantly, as if he couldn’t believe that I was letting him leave after all this mess he made before he stumbled back the way he came through.

I shifted back to my human form. Feeling my back itchy from the craw marks and the torn parts of my shirt sticking to the wound, I grumbled as I approached my human mate. Using my wolf’s instincts, I closed the wound.

My mate was dumbfounded. Her eyes were frozen, deep in thought.

I snapped my fingers in front of her face to get her attention. 

“He was right. You are a werewolf.” She stated, her voice low.

“Yes, I am a werewolf.” I confirmed in a whisper.

I did not want her to know just yet, at least, not in this way.

“How are you okay? You were just wailing.” Her piercing green eyes questioned me silently from under her furrowed brows.

“Werewolves are -”

“I know about werewolves but they should only exist in stories and movies, not here!” She exclaimed.

“Really, you have movies about us? That’s cool!”

“That’s all you heard, like seriously?”

“If you know about werewolves then you probably know that our wolves can fight a small amount of silver. Although it burns, we just need some time to recover.”

“But that wasn’t a small amount of silver. That vampire said that it’s gonna be lethal then how -”

“You must have read about Lycans too if you’ve read about werewolves?”

“Not this again!” She huffed before slowly shaking her head negatively.

“Are you scared of me?” I took a deep breath before spilling out the thought worrying Leo.

“Why would I be scared of you?” She refuted indignantly but her voice trembled. 

“I don’t know. When you read about werewolves, you didn’t imagine one with six heads and six arms, did you?” I wanted to erase some of the overbearing tension yet I failed. 

She shook her head. “Definitely not with wings though!”

“Tell me, have you ever heard of Lycans before?”

“Not really.” She said.

“I’ll explain everything once we get back home.” I reached out to grab her wrist, but she smacked my hand away.

“I’m not going anywhere with you.” She announced and stepped back.

“What do you mean? You are my mate.” I argued.

“This isn’t how you pursue a girl.” She pointed out.

“This is how we do it in our world.”

“Well, it sucks to be you but I’m not part of your world.” She refuted with a shrug.

“You are now that you’re my mate.”

“Not until I say so myself.” And with that she turned around and walked away.

“Can I at least know your name?” I called out, my eyes brazenly trailed down to her well rounded sexy butt.

“It’s Amelia.” She shouted back and waved me goodbye without even a glance back.

Beautiful, just like her, I thought and watch her figure until she disappeared down the road and back into town.

I feel like life stopped at a standstill when I first saw her. The moment I set my eyes on her, love pierced my heart like a spear. Her rosy-hued lips shone like a lotus blooming divinely and don’t get me started on her eyes.

Her eyes, a rarest emerald green, reminded me of the forest, my most favorite spot in the world. I just wish to get lost in them.

That fleeting smile from her made my heart beat like a wild butterfly. She renders me breathless and at a loss for words. I never thought that I would ever admit this but I was completely smitten by my beautiful mate.

I took in a good whiff of her scent trailing behind her before it could vanish and sighed in contentment. I ignored Leo’s whine as I headed back to the Poldark pack, the opposite way our mate was going.
