Eva's POV Torey crouched down in front of me, his chest rising and falling in fast motion, his wolf present in his eyes, anger, and fury still there and some of it was focused on me.I understood why; I had endangered myself but also Luara's and unknowingly his unborn child. I risked the lives of our pack wolves who had fought hard to protect my family and could have risked the life of my daughter.He was sieving with anger but pulled Luara and me close, his hands surrounding us as he held us protectively to his chest. He didn't say anything as he continued to hold us for a few minutes."I am furious with you Eva, but I am so glad you're both safe." He mumbled a low growl into my ear, and I nodded, whispering."I know and I'm sorry." He let go after that, pulling away to assess us both.He froze and went rigid when he noticed the scar on Luara's cheek, making his whole body tremble as his posture changed. His wolf appeared within his eyes; they were pitch black as he shook with feroc
Luara's POV (Years Later)Having to walk through the corridors of Oakville high school on my first day of senior year was the last thing I wanted to do on a Monday morning. In fact, I would prefer to never have to grace my presence in this school again. But apparently according to my mom, that is not an option.So after scrapping that idea this morning, I forced myself out of bed not bothering to add any makeup. It's not like it would improve my appearance, after all a 5-inch scar is a permanent reminder of what happened 14 years ago between my parents and a crazed rogue.I don't fully remember what happened and I've never asked, my mother constantly wants to talk about it to see if it can help me but I personally think it's unnecessary. Why talk about something I don't want to remember?It still hurts my mom to think about and having it as a constant reminder on my face doesn't help. She even tries to reassure me that I'm still beautiful but that doesn't stop people from staring.As
Luara's POV I stared open-mouthed at my brothers. I was honestly fed up with her thinking that I was teaching them this 'behavior'. Yes, I admit that I did teach them a few things but that was years ago! They're not as innocent as they look and I can't stand the fact that she believes that they do nothing wrong and are incapable of getting themselves into situations like this without my help."I only just walked in! They did this all by themselves!" I shout back."Just go to your room Luara! I'm not listening to any more excuses! And that includes all of you. Go to your rooms now!" I growled at her tone and simply made my way to the garden. I needed to take a long run; both my wolf and I needed it.Quickly ducking behind a tree I strip myself of all my clothes and shift. Picking up all my clothes in my mouth, leaving behind the sweater which was covered in cake mix, luckily I was wearing a tank top underneath. I began running fast, dodging trees and jumping over fallen branches.My w
Luara's POV Before Bryan could even take one more step toward me, I turned and ran.I pumped my legs faster the moment I heard a thundering growl quake through the woods. I knew they were close behind but I continued to run, dodging trees and heading straight for the territory line.I knew I had a chance to escape if I managed to get across to my father's land but there still was a chance that Bryan would ignore the laws of the territories just to catch me.I wanted to turn around to see how far away he was but I continued running knowing that he probably wasn't far behind. Luckily, I had Alpha blood so I was faster than any of them, except for Bryan. As I got closer to the territory line, my wolf began crying, trying to fight against the separation I was trying to put between us and our mate.I refused to turn back. How could my mate be Bryan Daniels? I've heard the stories. They say he's a malicious monster with no heart. Too evil for a mate. He takes pleasure in torturing and tak
Luara's POV The light was streaming onto my face, causing me to blink constantly wanting to force the sunlight out of my face, unpleasantly awakening me. I sat up and stretched before I noticed that I wasn't in my bedroom. Looking around I could see that I was in a dark large fancy room.I began to feel a dull throbbing pain in the crook of my neck making me wince as I gently touched it.It was then that everything came back to me. That I had accidentally trespassed on another Alpha's territory and found out that Bryan Daniels was my mate.I had pathetically attempted to escape from him only to be chucked over his shoulder and carried to his house and after an argument on whether or not I was going to leave, he forcible marked me.I growled in frustration, kicking off the sheets before rushing into the bathroom because the door was already open. I stared at the mark which now permanently stains the skin of my neck.I growled as I saw a mark of a werewolf, the mark of a claimed wolf.
Luara's POVWithin a week I knew I would begin to experience heat. I had already decided that I would be stubborn and force myself to stay away from Bryan no matter how much my body ached and craved for him.I felt my body go slightly weak when Bryan lightly glazed his finger over his mark on my neck causing my eyes to close shut from instinct.A low growl rumbled through his chest forcing me from my daze. From the faraway look on his face, I could tell he was communicating with a pack member via mind link."Stay here, I'll know if you leave. There's no point trying to escape as there are wolves guarding the whole perimeter of this house." He said before making his way out of the room.I rolled my eyes at his retreating figure. Of course, he's got pack wolves guarding the house which didn't mean I wouldn't attempt to escape anyway.Racing towards the closest bedroom window, I pulled on the latch only to find out that it was locked. I huffed in frustration before racing to the next one
Luara's POV I was like a deer in front of headlights, my eyes went wide as I stared at my mate. I began to nibble on my lip, unsure of how to reply. I had two choices either be honest or make up a lie. I knew if I lied he would instantly know, as having mates did have its downfalls. "You see, uhm, yes well, I was looking for the bathroom?" I mentally slapped myself for answering as if I was questioning myself. I was clearly lying and my eyes automatically closed when I heard his soft chuckle."Oh really?" He whispered close to my ear, amusement clear in his voice.I didn't say anything, only nodding in response. Bryan moved his hands to my waist pulling me against his hard chest making my wolf purr at the sheer closeness and affection of our mate, as his presence excited her."Umm" He mumbled against the tender skin of my neck leaving a sensual burning sensation upon my skin.I was struggling to keep my calm composure, Bryan was purposely teasing me and no matter how hard I tried,
Luara's POV I could practically see the internal battle through his eyes as he fought with his wolf over my comment. Having a family was a bit of a sore subject for him, it was something he valued tremendously.Thankfully it worked, even if it was a low blow to use his emotions against him.I watched him click his neck, moving his head side to side before a low growl hummed in the back of his throat."You stay at my side the whole time, you can try to run but you will fail. I will slaughter each and every single wolf your father has brought with him if you even attempt to leave."His words carried a promise and I knew he was capable of the underlining treat he gave me."Okay." I nodded. He gave me a small nod after staring into my eyes for a minute trying to see if I was up to anything.Grabbing my hand and quickly giving Lopez a kiss on the cheek, he began telling her to stay inside the house, making sure to mention guards surrounding the building. Bryan then pulled me through the h
