Chapter 1: The Nightmare

Jora’s POV Snarls and howling are what filled the night as I ran through the drudged mud that felt more like quick sand, by the time I reached the edge of the pack lands two black wolfs jump out in front of me preventing me from entering the pack land when they see the two grey decaying wolves behind me, they smelt horrid and their flesh was holding on by a hair, you could see their ribs and their glossed over eyes. One of the grey wolves howls out that stills the noise for a second when he cries out MATE, my eyes widen when the black wolf behind me jumps over me to shield my body from the grey wolf that had just set claim to me, his body was built with muscle and his aura was deathly. He snarled at the grey wolf as to challenge him for me; I sat there confused as to why he was so angry that he called me mate, a mere stranger that I never met was willing to risk his life for a banished woman that he knew nothing of.  

His teeth bared as his hair stud straight up on his back, his massive body began to tense as he braced himself to defend me, he crouches lower almost completely laying on me when my body screams MATE to the black wolf that was currently huddled over me, his scent was intoxicating to my senses. Forgetting about the situation that was happening currently I was snapped back to reality when I see him lunge at the grey wolf that was chasing me, they snarl and tear into one another; his claws tear into the side of the grey wolf who lets out a howl from the injury that was just inflicted onto his torso.  

Whimpers are to be heard as the grey wolf backs away from the black wolf and stares at me as he growls and snaps his jaw, within a second the grey wolfs retreat back to the forsaken territory as they take off running in retreat from the attack that was inflicted onto them, sighing in relief my arms collapse under me as I stare up at the sky laughing in relief of being able to live another day, I could hear a man's voice that did not sound the least bit happy; I look around only to find a man who was bare naked in front of me, his skin was a honey tan color under the moon light it was like the gods were blessing him with sheer beauty, his abs were firm and plentiful as he faced me with his hands on his hips, his hands were big and could hold my waist with just one of them. I stared at his eyes who were shown to have a blue eye as blue as the ocean and one White eye as white as the luminous light coming from the moon who was baptizing his skin with its presence. I end up biting my lip which was caused for other reason, I knew why he was so proud to stand in front of me naked like there was no care in the world in which he had no shame of what he was packing.

You could have gotten us all killed, what were you thinking? Did you not think of the children that reside in this pack or are you that careless and reckless! My heart lit on fire as I glared at him and stood up, it took every fiber in my body to not lash my claws against that perfect skin and chiseled body of his, I become off guard when a voice rings inside my head so loud I thought I was going to go deaf MATE<>MATE it echoed as I looked at that man and he was not looking at me in rage but in concern. He whimpers when he feels how angry my wolf was getting when suddenly he says out loud for me and the other Weare-Guy to hear, you’re my Mate and I will protect you always but I will not accept the fact that you were in the forsaken territory and the banished area which confuses me why you are not on this packs land.... he looks at the other wolf who was sitting behind me. 

Very well then come with us and I am not taking no for an answer, my head was spinning at what was going on; I wasn’t allowed to step foot on pack lands let alone enter its city limits. I freeze in my tracks as I bolt back the other way as I run to where I used to hide, I could hear him yells after me before I can hear bones snapping behind me before a deep howl and snarl is followed after it; my legs wouldn’t stop running and the more I ran from him the heavier my legs got and the more my heart ached but what confused me most was why my wolf called him mate when I already had one who rejected me many moons ago.... I finally arrive to my cave when I hear a low growl coming from inside the cave, I could smell ash and booze in the air and I knew Clyde was here and he was making his presence known, I guess he knew of me being near the pack’s territory border and came to warn me not to enter the pack lands; he steps out of the shadows his hazel eyes shine like jem's in the night with the light from the moongodess herself, the man's face was perfectly chiseled and his neck was so thick that it could break any roper that would ever be put around it and god his scent was so infatuating when he was around but tonight was different, I felt nothing and felt that he smelt normal, I look at him and say “What are you doing here? And why are you in my cave that no one knew about?” his aura pushes out but I don’t bow to it like I usually would when anxiety hits me like a ton of bricks as I finally notice something or someone laying on the ground in my cave torn to pieces, “I came to look for you to bring you back to the pack as my mate, I know I was foolish a few months back but I want to change that I want you and I to live with one another and grow our bond.” I stare at him and get angry as I back away from him, “No... I refused to go with you Clyde, you rejected me and forced me out here and now that you feel that I am ‘Worthy’ of your love, you come here thinking that I am going to just jump into your arms and run off into the sunset forgetting what you did to me...Well that is NOT going to happen.” he scoffs and sighs big, man you are something Jora to be telling me that you won't go with me as if you’re a prize; I'm only here to marry you and take over the pack the way my brother wants it because he won't allow me to pretend with someone new...” Clyde stops talking almost instantly as I could hear snarling behind me that brought comfort to my soul as it did before and I knew then that my mate was behind me, he steps around me and put me behind him to protect me from Clyde as he stands off with him. I can hear him choke out “You are mated to Bishop? So, you are a whore and a betrayer of the pack! You Slut!” Bishop snarls at his word as he stalks over to him, I could see that Clyde was beginning to back away from Bishop. As we watch Clyde shift and run to the pack land that I used to belong to bishop looks at me his wolf was strong but seemed to like me since he sat patiently looking at me, feeling awkward I look at the ground as I play with the bottom of my shirt; “Why did you run from me? My Luna why would you run from me?” my eyes jolt to him as my face snaps up to look at him, what do you mean your Luna?
