In just two minutes, my life will forever change. 'One minute and forty-eight seconds...' I think to myself as I look at the watch on my wrist.'One minute and twenty-six seconds..' I say in my mind, counting the time down.I strip out of the remainder of my clothes and place them in a bag at the base of the tree. I take my watch off and place it on top of my clothes.I can feel the cool air breeze over my body, sending chills throughout. However, with my wolf genes, I don't get irritated by the cold. Rather the cool air is simply refreshing. Wolves typically run hot, much hotter than a normal human anyways. So the cool air was much appreciated.I could tell the time had finally come, as I felt every bone in my body come to attention. It was as if my entire body had gone on high alert. I could feel everything inside me burn. It was as if acid was running through my veins. I collapsed to the ground, my knees on the ground as my face bent down. As I tried to compose myself. I focused o
It's been two months since my sixteenth birthday. I wish I could say that my restlessness died once I met my wolf; however, that never happened. If anything, it almost made things worse.Ever since my wolf revealed that I had already found my mate, my thoughts soon became flooded, wanting to know where she was. She looked younger than me by about four years, which would mean that she wouldn't know about the mate bond. However, one thing plagued my mind. The necklace. It was a gesture that a lover would do. Not just a good friend.I'm friends with many of the pack wolves. However, there isn't anyone that I would ever go to the extent of making such a special gift for. That doesn't make me a cold person. Rather, I would get my friends something simple. A toy or item that they had desired, perhaps a dinner out, or hosting a party. Not once would I get them a gift that came directly from my heart.Which would only mean one thing. She must know who we are.'But how's that possible?' I ask
"Bleh!" I shout as the foreign liquid begins to burn my throat. Sticking my tongue out in disgust. It was so strong that I'm sure my face resembled someone that took a shot of screech for the first time. "What the hell was that?" I ask."Does it even matter?" He asks.Honestly, probably not. If anything, I don't think I even want to know what exactly that was. "Whatever. But I don't feel any different." I say."I thought you said that it should help recover some of my memories." I said.He looks at me curiously. It also seems that he's just as confused as me as to why this didn't work."Hmm." The man suddenly turns away from me and grabs a large book from under the counter. My eyes continue to follow his every move, not sure what to expect next."Mhmm... Hmm... Huh..." The man says, mumbling to himself. I see an expression of surprise cross his brows. However, he carefully switches his face to appear as if nothing's wrong. Making me curious as to what he was thinking then.After a
...Wynter POV...It's been four years since I last saw Darius. Each second away from him has been one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. My heart constantly felt like it was on fire. I knew it was because of the mate bond. There was no denying it. I felt my heart constantly pulling me to go back to him. Regardless of how bad the pain got, I knew I couldn't do that. If I went back, it would only be putting Darius' life at risk. Something I couldn't and wouldn't do. I would much rather take a bullet than ever see Darius hurt because of me.After my encounter with Alpha Xander, I ran back to my pack, and together we packed everything up and moved that night. My pack and I relocated to Europe directly after everything happened. Calista had connections near the Black Sword pack in England. She said it used to be her pack before she had gone rogue. I don't know why she never returned to them, instead of staying rogue, but I guess it was just a pride thing. Calista was a very pridef
...Darius POV...Just as Asher had anticipated, the spell worked. We found out that she was now in the UK. I had told Kenji about this, and we both looked to find a way to go there. Since we were still in the middle of high school, I knew my parents would forbid me from going. I had considered appealing to them by explaining that I wanted to go to find my mate. But at the last second, I had thought against it. My mom would say just whatever my Dad said, and my Dad would be the last one to let me go, especially if concerned, my mate. I don't think it's because he's against me finding a mate, but rather he feels that a pack is stronger if an Alpha chooses a mate instead. He believes that mates only weaken us. Should we come under attack, I would be more concerned over the safety of my mate and put the safety of the pack at risk. I understood his beliefs. However, I tried to stay positive about the mate bond. I won't lie and say it was easy. Whoever had compelled me had done a good job
After I left my dad's office, I ran down the hallway and directly to my room, mind linking Kenji along the way.'We did it, Ken! My father agreed to let us go!' 'Sweet! So when do we leave.' He asks.'Within the hour.' I state, rummaging through my closet, for things that I'll need during the trip.'What? Are you nuts? Genesis will have my balls if I tell her I'm leaving with such short notice.' He remarks, sounding pissed.'Hey. You were the one that volunteered to come. You had more than enough notice. It's not my fault you didn't tell her earlier.' I state, showing no compassion. Why would I? He knows how important this is to me. He also knows that I'll go with or without him, so he doesn't have time to doddle.'Come on, man..' Kenji says, attempting to make me sympathize with him.'Sorry, but it won't work. You know how important this is to me. You can either come or stay. I won't mind either way. But I'm going, and I'll be leaving at 5 pm sharp.' I say, cutting the mind link.I
...Wynter POV...For some reason, I could feel my wolf on edge for the past couple of days. She was so anxious that I couldn't stay in one place. I felt like a dog that spins around in a circle trying to catch its tail. My mind was continually spinning. I felt the urge to go to random parts of town, and I had no idea why. I decided to visit the underground fight club later in the evening in hopes of wearing off some steam. I didn't frequent the club that often, typically only when Caedance my wolf was on edge. I knew going to the club was dangerous; however, I became addicted to the adrenaline rush. It was the only thing that really helped prevent feeling the loss of Darius. In the meantime, I walked aimlessly around town, not knowing where my wolf was taking me. It was as though she had a destination in mind but wasn't sure how to find it. I didn't mind too much, as it was a beautiful sunny day out. It was absolutely gorgeous out. The type of weather that encourages you to stay out
...Darius POV..."So, where do you want to start?" Kenji asks me, just as the plane is landing. "Well, I thought that we could go to the apartment first, and get settled, then I was going to work on searching some of the nearby packs." I say."Wait.. apartment?" Kenji asks."Yes, an apartment. Did you really think that I would come all the way here to stay in a hotel for who knows how long?" I ask sarcastically."Well... most people do." He says, making it seem like I'm the weird one."I guess I'm just realistic." I say, sounding slightly defeated."What do you mean?" Kenji asks."Well, as much as I would love to find her and take her back to the pack with us, we both know that isn't an option. Her parents would definitely come after us for kidnapping. Plus, how do I explain to both her and her parents that I'm her mate in the first place? They would think I'm crazy. Since she hasn't shifted yet, she won't be able to acknowledge the bond between us. So until she turns sixteen, it wou
