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
Luara's POV I could do nothing but stare at my dad, I attempted to open my mouth to speak but it was as if someone was squeezing my vocal cords shut. All I could see was a fire in my father's eyes and from the look on his face, he already knew the answer to his question."Dad, wait-""You forced a mark upon my daughter without permission?" I was shocked by my father's cold tone; I'd never seen him so angry, even my mother looked shocked as she looked at her husband.Bryan wasn't fazed as he kept eye contact with my dad, both sharing dark dangerous looks. My dad wanted to lunge at Bryan, but my mom held him back, he was boarding on the edge of control."How dare you mark my daughter!"Bryan stayed silent for a minute before speaking."At least I didn't reject her." His voice had an underlining taunt directed at my father. My mouth was literally agape as I looked towards my mate; stunned and appalled that he would say such a thing especially since it's such a sore subject for my family
Luara's POV "Just breathe. You need to take in deep breaths." Bryan demanded but his voice was soft wanting to soothe me. He could tell that I was trying to speak but didn't have the energy or capability of doing so."Where's Greg?" Bryan shouted harshly while stroking the stray hair out of my face."Where is he?" He questioned angrily; he had already told me that he had mind linked his pack doctor who I guess is called Greg.Only a minute after Bryan's harsh questioning, a tall man around the age of forty was instantly by my side. Before he did anything he introduced himself to me, before rushing out numerous questions which Bryan was quick to answer yes or no to.He suddenly pulled up my top up to the wire of my bra causing a growl to escape Bryan's mouth making Greg immediately drop the fabric."Sorry Alpha," Greg mumbled apologetically, feeling like he just disrespected both Bryan and me."I need to check her ribs and her spine as there's a possibility that she has damaged or eve
Luara's POV Thankfully, Lopez walked through the door stopping an argument from starting."Would you like to stay for dinner? There's plenty of food. I decided on making a variety; spaghetti, steak, chicken, etc." She offered while looking at my mother."No-"My father started."We would love to, wouldn't we Torey." My mother said a little forcibly. I laughed quietly to myself after hearing my father's reply."Would love to honey." He replied in a high voice sarcastically while Bryan grumbled agitatedly.After being cleared by Greg, we were allowed to leave. Lopez was directing us to the main dining hall while introducing herself properly to my mother. She also explained that both the Black Moon and Dark Apollo pack members were currently sitting in the dining hall waiting for our arrival.We walked into the room and every set of eyes landed on us, I could feel them looking at me from head to toe analyzing if I was okay. Bryan's pack especially since I'm now their Luna.Packs are extr
