Garren's POV: "So, is the day decided on?" I asked Bianca calmly on my phone. For hours, we went back and forth talking on the phone. I felt like she was hiding something important from me and deliberately diverting me from finding out. "Yes, the council elders will see you in two weeks. Right now, they have a few things to handle," she answered as I groaned in frustration. Why two weeks?. Why not tomorrow?. My lycan was quickly becoming attached to our mate. I was still in shock over how I had lost control and kissed her. At first, it was just to make fun of her, but then I lost my composure and, in just a second, I wanted to feel her skin against mine and embrace her desperately. It was partially my lycan's doing, but the other half was all me. I wanted her far away from me, and I hoped the council elders would desperately want to pass judgment on her. What was going to happen to me in the next two weeks? I had no idea, but thinking about it only made me nervous. As it was
Roxanne's POV: I was woken up by a cold breeze that made me shiver and blink a few times before turning and facing the other side. I let out a terrified scream and moved backwards, quickly sitting upright when I came face to face with my mate. He sighed, then turned, facing his back towards me. My heart was beating rapidly as everything dawned on me that I was in another territory and not in my bedroom. I slowly moved to the edge of the bed while looking at him, but stopped when he spoke up. "If you try running away this time, I will kill you," he whispered softly. I glared at him, then stood up slowly. His words were very annoying. I wasn't going to try and run away again, at least not now. I was going to find a way out, whether he wanted it or not. I looked at the landline phone with a frown when it rang, and instantly the ringing reminded me of my cell phone. What if Dad was calling on the landline phone since my cell phone was misplaced? I quickly moved to grab it when
Ian's POV: I was in Felix's house, pacing back and forth while they all sat in silence. After hours of searching the forest, Amelia and I decided to go to Felix's house and break the news to them. They all looked surprised that I was back so early in the morning. I was trying to think of a way to tell them gently that Roxanne wasn't home, so as not to alarm them. "Ian, can you stop moving around and tell us if there is a problem?" Felix said loudly. I stood still and glanced at Neo, who was sitting between Toni and Larson. "Ian, if you're too nervous to say it out loud, you can tell me first. Is the pack okay?" He asked through our mindlink. I closed my eyes for a second and swallowed hard. Hearing him talk to me and ask me made tears well up in my eyes. I was slowly starting to worry about my little girl's safety. "Roxanne didn't come home last night, and I'm certain she isn't here," Amelia said. I opened my eyes and she moved to stand next to me, linking her hand with mine a
Garren's POV: I still couldn't believe the words I had said to her!. "I wouldn't kiss a girl I wasn't attracted to! Who the fuck says that?" I asked myself silently. What the fuck was wrong with me?. When she said those sad words, I felt different. I wanted to comfort her in any way and stop her from crying. That's why I decided to give her the phone, right after I had promised myself to destroy it. I was shocked at myself and how weak I was towards her. But as for my lycan, he had already made up his mind to do everything he could to make her feel comfortable. I was beginning to get scared of myself because I could see my future self letting her in just to keep her happy. I didn't trust myself around her anymore. I even got very angry at the thought of that asshole who had scarred her!. Her reactions were enough to let me know that the bastard who had made her cry was the same douchebag in her phone picture, and that made my heart ache. "Master Garren, are you okay?" Thelma
Roxanne's POV: The tingles that spread throughout my body made me and my wolf feel safe and very calm. A smile formed on my face as I inhaled his amazing scent deeply. It wasn't my intention to embrace him out of the blue. But seeing him try to comfort me in his own cold way made me want to cling to him for just a few minutes, even if he were to push me away. As I closed my eyes, I waited for the moment he would push me away or warn me off harshly as he usually did. When a few minutes went by without him doing anything, I opened my eyes and smiled as my wolf purred happily at how our mate wanted our closure as well. "Garren," I called in a whisper as I felt him tense. "Thank you," I said softly, then continued to talk. "I know how much you hate me because of what my father supposedly did to you. But if you can talk to me about it, we can..." I cut my sentence short when he pulled away and stood up with an angry expression on his face. "For a second there, I forgot who you real
Garren's POV: The restraint I had completely vanished after hearing her words, and they made me act rashly. I moved my two fingers, roughly thrusting them into her tight, wet pussy. She quickly grabbed my hand, trying to push it back as her breath picked up. She was still gazing into my eyes, but the confidence in them was replaced by fear. This wasn't what I wanted to do. Yes, I wanted to scare her a little, but not make her sad! She was the one who started this, and yet she was acting as if I was the one forcing myself on her. When tears formed in her eyes, I groaned softly and cursed under my breath. "Hey," I called softly as I leaned in closer, closing the little space between us. "I won't hurt you. Remember, I'm your mate," I whispered without thinking, then kissed her gently as she slowly began to respond. My fingers were stilled because I didn't want to scare her any further or have her compare me to that asshole in any way. "No, this position isn't working for me," I
Ian's POV: "Talk," I demanded immediately as we were in the office. Larson, Tamara, and Kylie were in the living room while the rest of us were in the office, looking at Lee and waiting for him to give us answers. "You see, by that man's movements, build, height, and aura, we all could tell that he wasn't a regular person, say human. And the fact that Roxanne couldn't pick up his scent or act in time meant something was wrong. She either knew him or realized something about..." He cut his sentence short when the door loudly opened and Kyle rushed in, naked and with labored breath. "Is it true?" he asked loudly. Amelia stood up and walked to him, her gaze lowered to the ground. She took off her coat and handed it to him to wear, which he quickly put on with an embarrassed expression on his face. We were so used to seeing most werewolves nude after their shift, but that didn't mean we were comfortable having them walk in front of us. It was kind of annoying and disrespectful. "Fo
Roxanne's POV: I was woken up by the sound of the door closing carelessly. I quickly sat upright, my eyes blurry, and blinked a few times. Once my vision cleared, I looked at the window. The curtains were wide open, revealing the nighttime darkness of the room with the lights turned off. I sadly looked at my empty bedside, then lay down, ignoring the fact that I was completely naked. I knew he wouldn't be next to me, but deep down in my heart, I wished he could be. Just the thought of him being away from me made my heart ache. After he had sunk his fangs into my skin for a second time, everything escalated quickly. His hands were on my body, and this time he lifted me up without a word and took me to the bedroom. There, he took off my boxers, touching me the same way he had done back in the living room. But unlike then, he took everything slowly and much more gently, as if he was exploring something so precious and interesting to him. As he drank from me, all I could do was enco
