CHAPTER 7

SABRINA SANTIAGO

My head hurts badly and I see nothing but darkness. Siv my wolf must be weak, “where is this place siv?” I asked, hoping she would mind-link me, but became a bit startled when I sensed something close. “You’re in the dark howler pack,” the voice replied softly. 

The dark howler pack, as grandma said, was the most dangerous pack in the whole of the country and they were known to kill intruders. They don't come for the yearly celebration of the red moon pack where the unmated find their mate. I couldn't help but panic, knowing fully well that I was going to be killed sooner or later without getting to see my loved ones . 

“I’m sorry for crossing your border, please spare me,” I pleaded for my life as a tear escaped my eyes. “What pack are you from?” he inquired, making me look just anywhere. 

“I won't kill you,” he let out. I should be happy that he wasn't planning on killing me but why was he not assassinating me? “But why?” I asked out of nowhere. I bit my bottom lip for fear that I shouldn't have asked. 

“Because I found my mate,” he muttered.

The scent of fresh grass and blossoming cherries filled the air and I could feel the excitement of my wolf. The scent felt nice but yet I felt uncomfortable. “Why are you here in my pack? were you sent to spy on us?” he asked, making me toss my head. 

“I’m from the Red Moon pack. I got rejected by my mate because I'm blind. I don't know what exactly I had done to him! He says the blind are useless and weak,” I let out. I almost flinched when he engulfed me into a hug. 

I tried to back away but it felt safe. 

“I didn't mean to do this, please forgive me for inconveniencing you in such a way,” he apologized. “I-It fine,” I stutter from the warmth his hugs gave me. “I won't reject you,” he let out, confusing me.

“Who exactly am I talking to and why does he act this way with me?” I mind-linked Siv. “His Alpha Kai Khan of the dark howler pack.” Siv mind-linked, making me sprang up immediately . 

I bent my gaze before apologizing. “I’m sorry Alpha, please spare me,” I pleaded. “You’re blind you say, how do you know I was the Alpha? I didn’t mention anything to you,” he said, making me bite my bottom lip. 

“I figured that the Alpha would be the only one that could spare me,” I cooked up instantly. “I want to teach you so many things, I want to have a strong Luna, I guess the moon Goddess really favored me by blessing me with a beautiful blind Mate,” he let out, making me feel dizzy. 

My wolf seemed to be overjoyed that she was trying hard to take my body. “I would let you stay in my pack,” he offered. “It is wrong for me to stay in your pack, my grandma tells me stories about your pack and one of the rules is that I might get killed. 

“Trust me, nobody can harm my mate,” he let out with finality. 

“You seem to be feeling better, Mi Luz,” he let out, as I felt my hair being pushed behind my ear. I wanted to say something but he had already bit me for it. “We should head to the packhouse already, it's getting late Mi Luz,” he muttered. 

“Why would I stay at the packhouse? I mean I can actually survive staying in a house on my own,” I murmured, I almost whimpered in pain because of how furious my wolf was getting. “You should let our mate take control,” Siv mind-linked shamelessly. 

“No, you are my Mi Luz and you are staying with me,” he muttered, making Siv happy. “He is much better than that Coward of an Alpha that rejects us,” Siv mind-linked. “Wouldn't your parents get mad?” I asked out of the blue but instead, he intertwined our hands before pulling me into the cool breeze. 

“Enough of me, Mi Luz, tell me everything about you,” he let out. “I’m Sabrina Santiago, I have this amazing sister who just turned eighteen and my lovely grandma. Wait, I have this cousin's brother who doesn't believe in mating.” I let out excitedly. 

“Does your sister have a mate?” he asked. 

“Well I was going to find out before I got rejected and banished,” I let out and instantly I felt connected to this person, it felt like I had known him all my life or something. “Where are we?” I asked, as the sound of the door went cracking open. 

“It's my house, it's close to the packhouse,” he let out proudly. “I wish I could see what this place looks like,” I muttered to myself. “I can lend you my eyes,” Siv, mind-linked. “Is that possible?” I mind linked back. “Yes, and I can only do that when I'm happy and excited,” Siv explained. 

“Then, I would be honored if you lend them to me,” I let out excitedly. My wolf eyes had a little blur in them but I could still see. “Wait, is that Lily and Valley?” I let out excitedly. “Yes, how do you know?” he turned and that was the first time I had seen such beautiful eyes. 

“How did you know they were Lily and Valley?” he 

inquired, fetching me back from my little lust. “I can smell the sweet scent, my Grandma had them planted,” I said. 

“You are standing exactly where I hid them,” he said. “I think I should tell you something that just happened,” I said, staring at those luscious eyes that were concentrated on me. 

“I can see you, like right now,” I let out, sounding dumb. “I thought you said you were blind?” he asked like he wasn't sure to believe anything that would come out of my mouth. “Not like I got my sight back, my wolf let me obtain her eyes.” I let out. 

“Why hasn't she been letting you borrow it then?” he asked. “I just found out I could shift into my wolf after I got rejected, trust me, I have been with darkness since I was six.” I let out. “She is just letting me borrow it, for now, it's not forever,” I said.

 “Really Mi Luz?” He asked with a smile. 

“Yep, your house is incredible, Alpha Kai,” I said, glaring at the house that was fabricated expensively. “Call me Kai, come inside,” he said, ushering me inside. 

The moment we were inside the beautifully furnished house. A lady was sitting patiently waiting, “Mom,” was all Kia had to say for my eyes to go back into darkness again.
