War was at a loss. Tears never, ever had an effect on him. Never. Maybe once, but that was a long time ago. Standing in a small room with his mate, made him realize that he really was swayed by tears.
His mate whose name was Pomelia. Which was a really beautiful name to him at least, was crying. Her little body was shaking while she wiped at her tears as they slid down her cheeks and dribbled down her chin. Her plump lips kept pressing together and trembling as if to try and stop the tears. To say he felt awful was an understatement. She was so sweet and kind and he had angrily grabbed her demanding that she sniff him, only to find out that she couldn't even smell!
"Please stop crying," he pleaded softly with her as he contemplated touching her arm. She shrieked and swatted at him. He glowered at her, trying to keep his wolf under control. He was the reason why he held onto her for so long when asking her to sniff him. His wolf was the culprit, not himself... "I'm sorry for upsetting you," he tried again before he smelled a variety of different scents assaulting his nose.
The door slammed open and his mate jumped in surprise. A growl slipped past his lips as two women rushed inside the room. The first girl he recognized. The coward who ran away screaming and left his mate. She was terrible. How could she leave his weak mate with someone like him? What if he were a bad...well an even worse male?
"What is the meaning of this?!"
The other woman he did not recognize. She was tall. Maybe three or four inches shorter than him. Her dark skin stood out in comparison with the long white robes she wore. With purple and cream sashes. She was a priestess from the looks of it. Her dark eyes narrowed at him, painstakingly raking over his form, before glancing to his upset mate.
"Would anyone care to tell me what is going on? Why a warrior comes to such a holy temple reeking of death and why my novice is alone with him?" She asked loudly, waiting for him specifically to answer.
War sighed, hating how all of this was turning out. His wolf just wanted to grab their mate and go but unfortunately, it was just not that easy. Not to mention she was upset. "Pomelia is my mate...my name is War from Bane pack," he explained to her, knowing he should just get that out of the way immediately. Bane pack was infamous...not a place where anyone wanted to brag about, at least not in such a holy place.
The woman's eyes widened, before glaring at him. "You...you demons come to this holy place reeking of the death of our brethren. You three have no shame," the woman spat as his soft Pomelia gasped, slowly slipping away closer to the priestess. His stance hardened. Both he and his wolf taking that as a form of rejection. His teeth began to lengthen, fangs piercing his lip and hair beginning to spread across his forearms and underneath his clothing.
"She is my mate and she is coming with me," he snarled as Pomelia began to cry harder, holding onto the Priestess for dear life.
The woman's eyes hardened, lips pressing tightly against one another. "Pomelia, honey is he your mate?"
Bloodshot red eyes, flushed cheeks and trembling, Pomelia refused to answer the question, instead burying her face into the woman's robes. The feeling of anger, rejection again, doing something to him. Like a seed of pain blooming inside of him, it was growing quickly, it's roots traveling directly to his heart and his brain, choking his poor organs.
"I am!...don't, don't reject me. I have a house," he spluttered, trying to reason with the terrified, young, novice. What did women like her enjoy? He really didn't even have his own house...he lived with Alpha. He would build one for her though. Then she could fill their house with soft things like her...like pillows and whatever else she wanted or enjoyed.
"Pomelia," the priestess said softly, rubbing her back softly. "You know mates are a gift from our goddess...if this man is your mate you have to be truthful and accept this." War was surprised at how soft and loving the woman's voice came out. She was like a viper when she spoke to him. "Is he?"
A shaky sigh left her lips. "I...I can't smell very well. I can barely smell him, but he smells a little good. Like fruit and, and wood. When we touched, I...it makes sense but I don't want to," she whispered the last part. War still heard it! His mate was beautiful but she was not that intelligent.
The priestess sighed, rubbing her temples and took Pomelia by the hand, dragging her over to War. She was dragging her feet...
Pomelia was forced to face War and she continued to look down, twisting her trembling mouth to the side. "When mates are close to one another they secrete a certain scent. You both are secreting something different. You two are mates."
"I am capable of taking care of you," War consoled her as his mate silently cried. What was he supposed to do? He couldn't reject her. He needed her...
"I am...I'm sure you can W-War...I just want to serve the goddess, I don't want to be with a man," she sniffled as Warren frowned. Well, he definitely wanted to be with a woman, specifically her.
He didn't have experience with women....if that was what she was worried about. That was Trent and Alpha's thing. He kept to himself most of the time, most females in his pack only came around to want to mate with him. Especially around heat. He would refer them to any other male. Thinking about Pomelia going into heat...made him sweat...made blood rush somewhere he really wish it didn't right now.
"That is not up to you, Pomelia. Pack your things, honey and warrior I suggest you, keep your...urges in check. Pomelia may have a lack of sense of smell but I do not," she snapped, glaring at him with such an icy glare he took a step back from her. Her presence was something equivalent to an Alpha Female.
War immediately filled his mind with gore and guts. Blood splatter. Vomit. Anything he thought disgusting.
"Sera help Pomelia pack her things. Warrior, walk with me," The woman suggested as War looked back to Pomelia. She was now gathering the contents of the first aid kit she threw at him out of fear. Her tears had dried some but she was still shaking...A loud clear of the throat, had him looking to the source of it. The priestess was near the door, impatiently waiting for him. He took one more look at his mate before following behind the priestess. She was only doing this out of respect for his mate. He didn't want to hear anything the woman had to say. Her opinion didn't matter, Pomelia was his..."Warrior, Pomelia was a promising novice. She is sweet, kind and understanding. She is walking into a lions and going to your cesspool of a pack. Treat her with the respect she deserves or the goddess will have dire consequences," the woman threatened him, her eyes beginning to glow as she smiled, revealing her teeth.War could snap her neck...he had the ability to but he
"Being both soft and strong is a combination few have mastered ."-Gentleman's Essentials105, 106, 107-"You should slump her on her seat. I'm telling you she's going to shit bricks."A low growl sounded from War as he lost count of the freckles that speckled all over his mate's nose, cheek bones and lightly dusted her chin and around her plump lips. He was concentrated much too hard to loose count and a feeling of defeat and anger washed over him. Alpha Khan and Trent had talked among themselves in the front seat for the last forty minutes and left him in his peace. War took that time to familiarize himself with his mate's face. He thought she was gorgeous. He familiarized himself with her freckles, her nose, her thick eyebrows and of course the silky curls of her dark hair.He was enjoying himself thoroughly, before his Alpha tore the concentration away from Pomelia and onto himself. "Alpha with all due res
It was night time now. War yawned as he glanced over at his mate. She was in the same position as she was in the daytime. Straight posture, head turned towards the window, her hands in her lap...extremely quiet."Welcome to your new home, little novice," Alpha Khan announced as War quickly got out of the car and rushed over to the other side, trying to grab the door for Pomelia. Unfortunately she did it already and was pressed against the door while she marveled at the house she would be living in."You like it?" He questioned as he immediately began to growl, scenting the presence of other males. His hand went to her shoulder pulling her into him, as a group of males approached them.War immediately identified the group of four. More men who were deemed 'warriors' like him and Trent, but much younger. In reality they were just contracted killers...lower levels. Tier 3 killers and hunters. Trent and War were level 1, able
War couldn't sleep. It had been two hours. Two hours since he and his mate laid down in bed together to sleep. She wasn't asleep. She had been blinking, tossing and turning for the past 120 minutes.He could smell her fear, smell the unsettling scent of hers. He wish he knew what to do or say...but he didn't. Then she began to slip out of the bed.At first he thought maybe she would go to the bathroom, but through his keen hearing he knew her feet were going to the left...where the door was.Opening his bedroom door quietly, but not quiet enough, she slipped out of the room, leaving a pained War. The anger and betrayal was swift, as if someone jabbed a knife into his sternum. It took his breath away...He could hear her gentle foot patters down the steps, a specific step creaking loudly before she rushed down the steps.War cursed under his breath, quickly slipping out of bed and rushing out of his

Switching on the water, he quickly shed his pants and hopped in the shower. He wasted no time, grabbing his stiff manhood and roughly taking care of his problem. Imagining it was Pomelia's soft hand on him,instead of his rough calloused one was helpful. Imagining her lips on his definitely helped him achieve his goal.He came quick with the thoughts of Pomelia ranging in his mind. His legs weakened and his breath shortened, before hot ropes of his seed were spurting out, being swallowed by the drain. Once he was done, he made sure all of the evidence was washed away before actually showering like he told his mate he was doing.After the shower, he brushed his teeth and cleaned out his ears, and then almost walked out of the bathroom naked. This was his usual routine...but he couldn't walk out of the bathroom naked, Pomelia would probably faint. He was thankful he had a towel in his bathroom though...Wrapping it around h
He wears the smell of blood and death,Like perfume.~Unknown"They kissed. I think things are going well.""She is scared of him and he is still going out and killing people!"Yes and he kissed her without consent!""He was sleep kissing! Leave me be!" Makaria shot back at the cluster of women surrounding her and her task at hand. She had rested only a short time last night, her two projects by the name of Warren and Pomelia keeping her up.Pomelia's emotions were strong last night. The young novice was petrified of being in such a new place with no guidance from her lug of a mate. Warren was walking on eggshells attempting to make his mate comfortable but Pomelia still wasn't.She worried all night and eventually ended up outside, her prayers and fears being spoken out into the wind and carried up to the goddess. Makaria felt for the mortal and did something that was neither wrong or right.A quick ball of light in the shape o
War grabbed the bloodied item in her hand and washed out off at the sink. Without speaking to the human woman, he went straight to Alpha. "It's a tracker...she was right." It was a small, and pill like.Khan took a little pill like tracker and held it up to the light. "The crazy bitch was saying something about him putting something in her arm but we thought she was talking about heroin...but he inserted a tracker under her skin. Reese what the fuck is this dude into?"The man on this other line sighed. Loudly. "Shit I'll up your pay to 50K if you kill the whore and meet me tomorrow with that damn tracker device."War knew that wasn't going to be enough. Just in the way that Khan grinned and glanced at the bathroom door. "Listen it would be different if it was a Lycan but it's a human. That's extra work and clean up, then you want me to meet you somewhere. Come on. 80k."Trent and War usually got 10%
