two

The dark road wasn't supportive so I could barely see a thing. The car almost crashed into a tree nearby I heard Cooper curse hard under his breath just as most ruthless males do. A dim light flashed ahead as it appeared a car was blocking our path, I hated this but it was a known accident. Whoever was inside that heavy car planned to kill us" Are you okay Luna?" Cooper stepped down and pulled my side of the door open. I was lying dizzy on the seat with my heartbeat rising to the highest. I couldn't believe how dumped a person could be, was the road that tiny? Because if not then why did he try to kill us? I growled holding my head in pain as I lifted my head to meet Cooper's worried gaze." are you hurt?" I asked with a worried expression but when he said he was okay, I hemmed a sign of relief. " you can't come out now" he said in a straight clear voice pushing the door shut in my face ' what?' I didn't get him. What was going on with him? I understood my safety was his priority but I wasn't some dull that needed to be handled with care besides, staying in the car could be much riskier. I smelled something in the air, it was dark and I could only use my smelling sense at this moment. A familiar scent was lingering in the air. " find her, search the car. Let's see how tough she can get" That was the male voice from earlier " Cooper?" I shivered in my seat and started struggling with the door but I didn't seem to get anywhere with my struggles. The damn door wasn't opening and I couldn't help but feel scared. Panic set in from within.

I kicked it hard with my heel cracking the glass window. I dropped from that hole as my eyes stared through the darkness.

" Cooper" I called his name standing beside the car which almost fell off a cliff but didn't thanks to the tree. " you find her!" I heard him yell from ahead. My only mission was to find Cooper, he was alone and they could hurt him. Though I wasn't doubting his strength the jerk wasn't alone. He wanted revenge, maybe he couldn't stand a she-wolf talking back at him. Most alphas deemed that as disrespect and a direct slap in the face.

" catch you" Someone held my shoulders from behind and my soul almost jumped out of my body. The cold hand forcefully turned me around roughly and I immediately recognized him. " did you think you can get away without giving me what I want?" his voice came as a threat. Dark and malicious, he surely didn't mean good. Bad vibes radiate from him" Get away from her!" Cooper got him to leave my arm without touching me. " get out of here, I will handle him" he ordered but I didn't run as I only stepped back watching them fight. " take that path Luna and you will be fine. I can't let anything happen to you" he said as he fell on the floor after receiving a punch from that useless jerk.

I stubbornly didn't seem to listen. I couldn't bring myself to leave him with that asshole. I was afraid of leaving him alone and running alone.

"Ezra would burn my whole family alive if something bad were to happen to you, Luna" he persuaded me using a calm sincere voice after which I heard bones cracking. He was shifting, and seeing his huge Lycan assured me he would be fine or maybe that was what I wanted to believe.

I started running towards the woods just as he instructed with bare foot., How did I get here? I left home to settle at the crossroads where my mate was and also attend college there but I had to face such a challenge. I had to deal with a foolish jerk who wanted to have a taste of my beauty.

As they say, every great achievement never comes without a challenge. Was this supposed to be a good sign or a bad sign? I mean Ezra wasn't my real mate and this could be either a pausing or a go-ahead sign from the goddess whichever way. I paused staring at the path behind me before proceeding.

I ran my way into the dark pranks, nobody told me such alphas existed. Now I had to find a way to get there myself.

How was I supposed to see through this pith of darkness? I stumbled on something hard and fell flat on the floor. A growl resounded from behind me and I was left with no choice but to stand and shift. I was tired of running so I decided to fight! Just as I was about to shift a huge black Lycan emerged from nowhere and attacked the two wolves on my behave, I guessed.

His smell hits my nose in the most amazing way that my wolf threatened to push forward. I had never smelled such a powerful smell before, he looked strong and fearless with the way he attacked the two wolves without fear. My heart trembled racing faster than it had ever been.

My brain seemed to stop working as the scene in which it appeared replayed in my mind ' Mate' my wolf growled in my head and I wriggled back in shock. I didn't even know who that Lycan was but he was my mate?

What the hell was going on? Who was he?

I didn't feel any fear as it turned to stare my way with its blood-sheared eyes. I swallowed as my whole body ached for it, I wanted to touch its fur and smell it. I wished to touch him and hold him as my nerves and desires grew every minute that passed. The black Lycan that saved me happened to be my fated mate!

At that moment of silence, I didn't remember anything about Ezra. I seemed to be so immersed in the pull that I forgot I had been chosen by the Lycan king. All I wanted was to be with this mysterious being, enjoy his company, and get a share of his warmth.

I stared at him in a daze as if I could view him clearly from the shady darkness. Only his burning gaze was illuminating and showing in the darkness as its fur was one with the shady night.

I left my pack to be with my chosen mate but here comes my fated mate!

I didn't even ask questions before allowing the bond to pull me towards him. I went on a knee and slowly touched its black silky fur to calm my killing desires.

A low growl left its lips before it pulled away from my fingers.

I frowned, he is our fated mate' my wolf Aria, spoke in my head in guilt. We both had already accepted Ezra, being around Ezra felt warm and comfortable but the feel from this male was like something magical. Something that took Ezra a year to achieve, this Lycan had it within a second without effort.

A feeling more powerful than I thought was overpowering me and weirdly I didn't hate it.

The moment it shifted after a few minutes of bone cracks. My head raised and glared into his now-tuned golden eyes.

In front of me was the most charming and beautiful God that could be made from creation. He stood tall in all the glory in the world as the night wind swayed his shoulder-length hair behind him.

His broad shoulder was a place where I could spend many nights without complaining.

He looked like a god of war!

It suddenly felt like nothing else mattered and indeed nothing else mattered to me at that moment. I had the most beautiful man in front of me. My lips trembled and my mouth opened as he took a step closer.

"Are you okay, Luna?" his deep voice turned out to be the most memorable sound my ear could detect in my seventeen years of existence.

What? Luna?

I didn't understand why he called me that but his eyes suddenly turned cold void of emotions. My eyes drifted down to his broad shoulders which I couldn't see properly because of the darkness but I was sure this male was someone I wasn't ready to let go. " you aren't hurt?" he asked in a colder tone which hurt me like a stab in the chest.

I didn't know what love was until this night. " alpha Ezra wanted you safe and sound" he said and my mind suddenly blacked out, he said Ezra? I felt my legs grow weak as they started shaking and soon I collapsed but fell into his arms instead of on the floor.

" you .." I touched his face with trembling lips and I saw a sparkle in his eyes. My hands fell from his face as tears ran down my face, my hand touched something on his hard chest which I held tight and I fell into darkness.

Was I that tired?

He was sent by Ezra!
