[Rosalie’s POV]

Growing quiet, I watch on as Diego and Anthrose strengthen their attacks. It was clear that they were both getting tired from the sweat that pours down their skin and the way their chests heave. However, neither were willing to give up.

Gritting my teeth, I try to ignore the cuts that are beginning to cover Diego’s skin from each of Anthrose’s attacks. While I watch on, Hana begins to come alive and let out growls of annoyance over what is happening.

‘You should stop them,’ she huffs in frustration. ‘Before he gets hurt too badly.’

He. I didn’t have to ask who it was that she was referring to since I already knew. I could no longer deny the attraction and possessiveness I was beginning to feel for Diego. Why was it happening? I didn’t know, but if I had to guess, it was the one thing I absolutely didn’t want to form between us.

‘He’s a grown man.’ I counter, trying to ignore her. ‘He can do whatever he wants, and I don’t have any place to tell him what to do.’

    [Diego’s POV]I stare into the eyes of the woman in front of me while they sparkle from the tears she is trying so hard to keep in. Just below them and her nose, her lips tremble, and her throat moves with each swallow she makes.Fuck. How could simply being touched like that reduce her to this? I knew part of it was my fault for the horrible thing I did to her in the beginning, but most of it was due to that bastard she was married to before she met me.“Come on,” I murmur, slowly getting up and reaching out a hand. “We should get you back to healer Murdoch before he comes hunting you.”“Can...” she begins, but stops, seeming unsure of herself. “Can I please stay here?”Stay here. Even after what I did to her in the past, and just now she wants to stay with me? Why did that leave me with such an unpleasant emotion?Did this mean that she was so used to being mistreated that she was fine with sticking beside me even if I decided to continue to treat her poorly?Goddess, it was becomin

    [Rosalie’s POV]“Uh… Chanel.”I look up at the woman who holds me against her body as she sits on a fluffy white couch with her legs crossed. In the beginning, I realized the difference in our sizes, but with her holding me like this, I truly felt like a child.“Could you maybe...”“No,” she snaps, tightening her hold. “I’ve already said this, but forget that big broody asshole and become mine.”“But…” I begin, trying not to remember the few times I walked in on them being intimate.Honestly, the way she was acting right now still didn’t make sense to me, but I guess you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.“Aren’t you and Diego... You know...”“What?” Chanel asks, giving me a curious look. “Aren’t we what?”“A couple.”As the words leave my lips, a bark of laughter escapes Chanel, causing me to jump.“A couple.” She repeats between puffs. “Me and that unpleasant fella?”“Then what…” I begin flushing. “You seem to be the only woman he actually treats nicely.”“That’s because we are ch

    [Diego’s POV]I stare into Rosalie’s eyes while she processes what it is that I have just told her. I have to admit, her bewildered expression is adorable, and I can’t help but want to see even more expressions from the tiny creature in front of me.As I continue to stare, I can feel my lycan beginning to stir, and that unexplainable draw that I’ve begun to feel starts to bubble up.“If you don’t say something, I’m going to kiss you.” I warn her, leaning in so close that her breath tickles my skin.Eyes widening, she brings her hands to her lips, and I let out a laugh before straightening out.“You didn’t have to reject me so openly.” I sigh, looking towards the door. “I’ll leave you alone to process for a bit. I’ve got something to do.”Nodding, Rosalie doesn’t speak as I give her one last look of longing before beginning to move.Once I’m outside, I let out a breath while wondering what in the hell I’ve gotten myself into. However, I didn’t have time to dwell on this, not when there

    [Diego’s POV]The next morning, I make my way toward Kate’s hut, and with satisfaction, I take in how empty it is. Good. She took me seriously, and now I just had to wait to see if she actually blabbed to our fathers about my intentions with Rosalie.Turning, I slam the door shut and make my way onto the street, where the villagers are going about their day. Their eyes follow me as I pass, but I don’t stop. Instead, I head straight for the hut that Chanel is occupying and bang on the door.“What is it?” She growls, appearing with a severe case of bedhead and in nothing but a t-shirt. “What the hell do you want so early in the morning?”“It isn’t morning anymore.” I point out, eyeing her curiously. “Why are you wasting time sleeping in so late?”“Why?” She repeats, looking at me as if I’m stupid. “You know damn well what will happen tonight. I was getting my beauty sleep since I won’t be getting any sleep tonight.”“And who are you planning on visiting to help you with that?” I counter

    [Diego’s POV]I only give a smile at Chanel’s words. There was no telling how things would go when I returned home. I was sure that my father would be against my choice to dissolve the engagement between Kate and me, but even then, I wouldn’t go along with it. Once that issue was solved, I would slowly win over Rosalie’s affection.“You’re already whipped.” Chanel giggles. “Look at you trying to be good and not give into the heat that is coming all for one woman.”“Shut up.” I snap, taking my position against the trunk of the tree I chose to use. “Just go ahead and do what I brought you here to do. Once you’re finished, you should get back and prepare yourself as well, unless..."“Not gonna happen.” Chanel sighs, catching on to exactly what I meant. “He doesn’t see me as anything more than a past student.”Nodding, I feel a bit of sympathy for her. Since we were training under Anthrose, I knew that Chanel had a thing for him, but due to their age difference and his sense of duty, he w

    [Rosalie’s POV]I scoot a little closer to Diego as he lets a growl rip from his chest, but despite his protests about me being near, he doesn’t move to hurt me.“See,” I murmur, reaching out and touching his cheek while a groan escapes his lips and his eyes roll into the back of his head. “You aren’t going to hurt me.”Moving ever closer, I wrap my arms around him. Holding him against me while he fights whatever it is that wants him to attack me.I knew that during the blood moon his pack lost their minds and became almost feral, but even despite that, and despite being a lycan, one of the creatures that feels much more and whose instincts are much sharper, he continues to not do anything to hurt me.Pulling back, I stare into Diego’s red eyes while he watches me with an unreadable expression. Instantly, I remember him attempting to touch me intimately and my reaction, but now that I was thinking rationally, I couldn’t quite understand why I would feel a bit of fear when it came to t

    [Diego’s POV]Warm sunlight presses against my skin, rousing me from a dreamless sleep. Groaning, I attempt to move but stop as chains bite into my skin.“What?” I hiss, snapping my eyes open so I can begin to take in the area around me. “What the fuck is happening?”As I speak, I look down at the silver chains that are tied tightly around my body. Immediately, memories of the day before and my request come back to me.“Right.” I huff, beginning to relax but stopping as I feel something soft and warm on my lap. “What?”Frowning, I look further down, and my eyes widen as I take in Rosalie’s sleeping form. If it wasn’t shocking enough that she was with me, the memories that start to flood into me leave me unable to quite believe what happened during the evening while the heat was consuming me.“Rosalie,” I breathe, wanting to reach out and touch her cheek. “Why did you...”“Mmmm.”I stop speaking as Rosalie begins to stir, and when she lifts her sleepy gaze to mine, a slow smile spreads

    [Rosalie’s POV]My body is hot, and it isn’t just from the steaming water that surrounds me. When Diego said that he was taking me back so that I could get clean, I didn’t know this was what he meant.Trying to keep my heart from hammering out of my chest, I take in either of Diego’s large legs, which sit on either side of my body. Although I have seen the man in action with multiple women, and I even did… that… for him the previous night, to be sitting here so intimately with him was a whole new experience.“You don’t have to be so tense.” Diego murmurs, causing my cheeks to flush red. “I’m not going to do anything. At least, nothing that you don’t want me to do.”Eyes widening, I whirl around to take in his expression, which is filled with amusement. It is so different from his usual mask of indifference that, for a moment, I’m unable to say anything.“I swore to you that I wouldn’t do anything unless you asked me.” He continues. “And if I am anything, it is a man of my word.”Nothi

However, unlike the first time we met, the bond feels so much stronger, and I can’t stop my wolf as it begs to have a taste of her. And frankly, this evening I wasn’t in the mood to be cautious, not when fate was continuing to bring her to me. However, there was something that didn’t make sense and that bugged the fuck out of me.She recognized me and my threat.Frowning, I reach my car and yank open the door to the backseat, and not wasting any time, I throw her inside and then climb in, slamming the door behind me. And once inside, I’m trapping her wrists between my hand, taking note of how fucking tiny they feel in my grasp. All I had to do was squeeze a little, and they would break.A human. I was mated to a fucking human. Me. Mated to such a weak being. What kind of fucking joke was this?“Why?” I grunt, trying to make sense of what w

    [Chanel’s POV]My body buzzes with a delicious energy due to Anthrose marking me. Even though I’m exhausted from the ordeal that I’ve suffered through, I feel so invigorated that it leaves me stunned. However, by the looks of Anthrose and even Gil, who silently slumps to the side, I know that not all of us are going to be able to search for the artifacts needed to save Rosalie and Diego.“Anthrose,” I say quietly, letting him slump against me. “We should let Sam and the others find the artifacts.”“What are you saying?” Anthrose demands, jerking away. “How can we possibly…”He doesn’t finish his words before he is collapsing again, and I know that he isn’t going to fight me if I drag his ass out of here. But I know that even I won’t be able to do that, not when I needed to support Gil.“Are you able to walk?” I ask, deciding to not scold him for trying to act like he was fine. “Or should I…”“I can walk.” He assures me, slowly standing. “What about you?”“I’m fine,” I admit, joining h

    [Anthrose’s POV]Joy rushes through me as the taste of blood explodes on my tongue. Goddess, it tastes so good, especially mixed with the fear that is trickling from the one that I’m slowly ripping limb from limb. It’s all I can taste, all I can feel, all I can focus on.That’s it. The darkness in me purrs. Kill. Kill everyone.Kill everyone. Right. I needed to kill everyone because they’re the ones who did this. This was their fault. They were the reason I was left with no other choice but to embrace the beast that I always kept in the shadows.Kill.The word repeats itself in my mind again and again until I feel hands wrapping around me, pulling at me, all of them attempting to stop me from killing the one beneath me.“Anthrose.”“Stop it.”“We need him alive.”Bullshit. We didn’t need this bastard alive! He deserved to die because he…The rest of my thought gets lost as a sweet scent slams into me, drawing my gaze to the single figure who lays on the ground clutching their abdomen.

    [Chanel’s POV]I stare on, watching as Anthrose and the rest of his group surge forward, attacking the guards who were just sneering at me, and I can’t help but laugh at the difference in their demeanors.“Cowards,” I spit, sitting up and snapping my thumbs back into place. “Acting all high and mighty until actual danger appears.”As I speak, I grab the chains that are holding my ankles and begin to pull while ignoring the pain that shoots through me. Fuck, they were strong, but I was stronger. Soon enough, they begin to crack and then break apart, allowing me to finally get up and move to Gil’s side.“Just hang in there a bit longer, alright?” I tell him, clutching his cuff and starting to fight with it. “Then we will get you out of here and…”“No!” Gil gasps before breaking into a coughing fit. “We can’t just leave!”Frowning, I take in his words, trying to make sense of what it is that he is saying, but I don’t get to question him further before pain shoots through me and my body a

    [Anthrose’s POV]The next morning we move out the minute the warm sun begins to paint the ground that we sleep on. After a quick breakfast, we head out with me leading the way since I’m the only one who can get a feel for the location that we are searching for.Together, we silently move across the island while keeping our senses alert in case of a surprise attack. However, the expected never happens, and by the time we are close to our destination, I can’t help but feel like all of this is too easy, and by the tension I feel from my companions, I know that they’re feeling the same.“Up ahead,” Sam murmurs, coming to my side. “I can see it.”Nodding, I take in the shining figure that I’m certain is the temple, noting the dark aura that radiates around it. Even from here I could tell that the things residing within were something the normal wolf wouldn’t want to approach, but given what we were fighting for, I wasn’t going to let it stop me.“Prepare yourselves.” I announce, letting my

    [Anthrose’s POV]For the rest of the day, I search the island for a sign of where Chanel and Gil may be, but come up empty. And when my group can’t seem to move anymore, I have to call the search to a halt. However, that doesn’t mean that I don’t continue to keep my connection with the earth, searching while dinner is made.It’s a silent ordeal, as I’m certain that the entire group is feeling the weight of what is at hand and what we may encounter when we find the ones we are searching for. I could only assume that a fight was waiting for us, and it was because of that that I even agreed to res.Sighing, I close my eyes and let myself slip deeper into a trance, searching until I feel something press against my consciousness that snaps me to alertness as hope flares through me along with a longing that I’ve never felt before.‘Chanel,’ I whisper, not daring to truly believe that I’m feeling what I am. ‘Is that you?’For a moment, all I’m met with is silence, causing me to believe that

    [Anthrose’s POV]My body screams at me, begging me to stop, to take a break, but I can’t stop moving. Behind me, I can hear noises of complaint and exhaustion escaping my companions, making it clear that they’re feeling the same thing as me. However, I can’t stop moving; I won’t stop moving; just the thought of stopping makes me so damn anxious I want to fucking destroy something. I can’t stop the feeling that if I stop looking even for a second, Chanel will vanish completely.Shivering, I try not to think of a world where she doesn’t exist somewhere. Sure, it was one thing to keep my distance and allow her to live the life that she deserves, but to even think of her not being somewhere alive and happy damn near kills me.‘Chanel.’ I call to the darkness, hoping and praying that by some miracle she will respond to me. ‘Where are you? Why aren’t you answering me?’“Anthrose.”I immediately freeze as the voice reaches me, but I realize a moment too late that it wasn’t Chanel’s voice, it

    [Chanel’s POV]I look around me, taking in the stone walls around me, noting how they’re cracking, allowing vines to grow through them while my intrusive thoughts try to get the better of me. They’re screaming things like what if this place were to collapse. What if you find yourself at a dead end? What if you run out of air? It’s irritating as fuck, and even though I keep telling them to shut up, they just won’t.“Hey,” I call to Tyson, who leads the way in hopes of distracting myself. “Are you certain that we are going in the right direction?”Since he was the one to choose our path and take the lead, I could only hope that he somehow could track the way out of this place, but what if he was just leading us deeper into this underground labyrinth?“Hey,” I repeat when he doesn’t respond to me. “I’m talking to you.”Frustration growing, I move forward and grab his shoulder, forcing him to turn and look at me, but I’m not met with the same gaze that I was used to. Instead, I’m met with

    [Anthrose’s POV]We spend the rest of the day searching for any sign of Chanel or Tyson, but all we come up with is nothing. It’s almost like neither of them existed or were somehow spirited away from earth.“We should rest.” Henry, one of Ulrick’s warriors, suggests later that evening. “We will be useless in helping them if we are exhausted.”“Are you saying that this little bit of action exhausts you?” I demand. “If that's the case, you are more than welcome to rest, but I’m going to keep searching.”“But, sir…”“I said I was going to keep searching!” I growl, not giving two fucks if I came across as argumentative or defiant. “There’s no fucking way that I’m going to stop until I find her.”Even though only a couple of hours had passed, I couldn’t help but feel like days, even weeks, had already gone by without Chanel’s presence. It was fucking maddening, and I was beginning to feel like a crazy man. How the hell did I manage to stay away from her for so many years in the past?No.
