CHASE POV
I glared around the opening and sniffed the air. Several scents surrounded the murky air, but I couldn't think of the one that had hurt my Alisson.My Allison?I was being possessive. I couldn't help it. But it makes me feel good.I moved to her side, and she stood up straight abruptly."Stay away from me!" Allison shouted.For someone that was hurt, she could still use her leg.Allison swatted a stake with her into the air and gritted her teeth while pointing the stake at me.I shook my head slightly, urging her to keep calm, but I doubted she understood what I meant.Regardless, I stood at a distance staring at her until she staggered forward.I rushed towards her but stopped as a werewolf jumped into the opening."I'm powerful!" Allison slurred. Almost immediately, she fell face flat to the ground.Shifting my gaze from her, I furrowed my brows as I turned to the werewolf before me.It wasn't a werewolf; I realised it was a werejaguar.Usually, werewolf species had different scents, and I could tell what rank each was and prepare to fight them off if they were intruders. But right now, I had no warning whatsoever.Had I lost my sense of smell too?No, impossible!I had sniffed out Allison. If I had lost my sense of smell, there was no way I'd have gotten to her.Although I know what it means to lose my sense of smell, I'd be able to shift and all, but I'd be like a human, or even worst, since humans could perceive smell.The werejaguar bared its teeth at me and jogged towards me.I let it get close enough to me, and I growled.The werejaguar backed away and turned on its heel.I knew how to chase off attackers without putting up too much of a fight. After all, I was an Alpha. No one dares contend with me.Yet, I knew if the strongest of the enemy came at me, I wouldn't be able to put up much fight. I was powerless, and there was only too much my growl could do.I changed into my human form after ensuring Alisson was knocked out cold and the werejaguar and any other intruders weren't in sight.I picked Allison up from the ground and carried her bridal style before running towards my pack house...I was awoken in the middle of the night by a scream. I dashed through the door and sprinted towards the room I prepared for Allison to stay in until she was good enough to leave.I rammed into her as soon as I burst into the room, and my hands shot out to steady her."Chase?" Allison's eyes widened, and I furrowed my brows.My eyes wandered around the room, searching for an intruder, and then back to her face as I saw nothing. "What happened?""Why am I here, and who changed me into this?!" She screeched, shoving at my chest.But I didn't release my grip on her.Allison scowled. "Did you touch me?!"Releasing my hold on her, I stepped towards the window, heaved a breath, and pinched the bridge of my nostrils. I had assumed she was in danger. I didn't know she was merely throwing a tantrum about who changed her.Also, I doubted I could resist not coming to see her as my wolf was always alert, knowing she was in a room opposite mine. I had used all my willpower not to sleep in the same room as her. Ajax had wanted me to. Ajax had never acted this hypersexual. Ever since he knew we were mated, he had wanted me to do weird things to Allison. Things I never thought of."I did change...." I began, but she cut me off."How could you?!" Allison shouted. "You freaking pervert!" Then she attempted to run towards me, but she stumbled.I guess she had forgotten her leg was injured.Swiftly, I caught her midway and stared at her. "How about you calm the fúck down rather than act like a little girl?!""A little girl?!" Allison sneered. "I should calm the fúck down when you change me without my permission? I should calm the fúck down when it's obvious you must have taken advantage of me?""I'll rather visit a brothel than take advantage of a sleeping woman. Besides, not as if I hadn't had access to you...""Fúck you!" She cussed, slapping my chest.I winced, chuckling. "You already did."Although it sounded absurd, I like how it made her calm somewhat. I saw a hint of blush on her cheeks, and she glared at me fiercely.I gripped her hand, preventing any more hits from her. Despite how small she was, her hits packed a punch.But she shrugged my hand away and limped towards the door. "I shouldn't be here. I need to leave.""Where exactly were you going?" I asked, hoping I'd get an answer as to the reason she was in the forest at the time of the night."It's none of your business." She mumbled."It is..."Allison swirled and glared at me. "The fact we had something before doesn't mean you have the right to know everything about me. Like I said before, it's over between us, and I don't need to report my movement to you!"I didn't imagine our conversation as challenging as this, but I presumed it was what she wanted.Somehow I felt she was trying to run away from me. I doubted it was due to the breakup. I could see it in her eyes. Something was bothering her. Something she wasn't ready to let me on."I have every right to be bothered about your well-being, seeing as you can be my potential mate."Allison snorted. "Mate? Over my dead body, should I ever be mated with a Werewolf like you! I'd rather die first than result to being mated with a fúcking philanderer!"ALLISON POVI was furious. I couldn't control the words I uttered. Or maybe I should have learned to restrain myself.And the audacity of him saying we were possibly mated after telling me I was only available to warm his freaking bed.He stared at me in shock. I guess he wasn't expecting all that I said, but then I wasn't as well. I think the pain from my foot added to it."I am not a philanderer," Chase said after a while. He turned his back to me and walked to the window."Then explain why you kissed Artemisia if you aren't," I mumbled, limping towards the door."I already told you I wanted to know how it feels. And where the fúck are you going?!"I heaved a breath, ignoring him. Hearing him repeat it was annoying. I guess I was never good enough for him in the first place. "Stay away from me, Chase...""That I can never do..." He swooshed towards me and rammed me into the wall. Not hard enough for it to hurt but hard enough for me to feel him."For some reason, I keep coming close
ALLISON POVWaking out of my dreamless slumber at the sound of the constant knock on the door, I groaned, rolling on the large king-sized bed.I attempted to climb down from the bed, but I couldn't. My body felt very heavy, especially my legs. It was as though I was bound to the bed, but I couldn't see any restraint.My head pounded, and I groaned while attempting to open my tired eyes.As soon as I was able to, the light from the sun streaming into the room from the open window flashed into my eyes. I shielded my eyes from the sunlight, and I glanced around the room and then at my leg.I wasn't bound as I had assumed, but my injured leg was wrapped in a new gauze. I remembered Chase doing that after cleaning my wound.And since he left, I haven't seen him. I didn't know if he was mad at me, but then I doubted there was anything for him to be pissed about.He had asked about the child from the cursed moon. I wanted to know more about it as well because my mother didn't tell me much.I
ALLISON POVAs soon as Jess was done cleaning my injury and applying the Chamomile oil, which I believed was gotten from Chase, I could move my whole body without feeling hurt. I could do a lot of things, it was as if the injury had vanished, but I knew it was far from it.Regardless, I was glad I could still move about the room."Do you need anything else, ma... Ally?" Jess asked, flushing.I shook my head in negation. "I'll let you know if I do."Jess nodded. "I'll be around." She packed up the bowl and rag, then left.As soon as she left, I tried doing mundane things to help with the boredom that was fast enveloping me.But nothing worked. Not even the Chess I love to play helped my boredom.I stood from the bed and limped towards the window. Opening it, I peeped and smiled as my eyes roamed around the vast land Chase's pack was on.An idea popped up in my head. Instead of staying in the room, it was best I explore the pack house.I didn't particularly appreciate when being restrain
I frowned as I gazed at her; my eyes strayed to her good leg and saw she supported herself with a stick so she wouldn't rest on the bad one.I didn't know where she got it from, but it was a brilliant idea. The leg would continue to heal since she wasn't exerting pressure on it.As her gaze landed on mine, she waved and flashed me a smile."That's the lady everyone is talking about?" Magnus asked. "Damn, she's hot."I glared at him. "Eyes off. She should be the least of your problem.""Yes, Alpha!" He said, and I walked towards Allison."Wow, I don't know somewhere as this existed. And why didn't you invite me to the pack's meeting?""Why are you here?!" I scowled at her, ignoring her question.I gripped her hand as she attempted to move past me. "Allison!"I believed she heard the warning in my voice, so she turned to me."Ally. I don't know how often I need to remind everyone. Besides, I'm bedsore." Allison shrugged."I told you not to leave the room, and you shouldn't even wander ab
ALLISON POV"You're doomed, Allison Stone, no matter how far you hide. You shall die and bring pain to your loved ones!"I whimpered as the great seer's eyes turned red. She let out a peal of wicked laughter, and her torch glowed. "I'm doing the supernatural world and humanity a great privilege by creating a balance in the world. The balance needs to start from you.""Don't kill me!" I yelled, but whether she heard me or not, she didn't care. She pointed her touch to me like before.And I gasped out, jerking awake. Sweat dribbled down my face, and my breath came out raggedly. It was the second nightmare since I arrived, and I doubt it would stop soon.I ran a hand through my hair and heaved a breath before shutting my eyes.How long would this be for? I didn't know too. I had tried everything possible to escape from my harsh reality; it seemed I wasn't doing enough running.The worst was thinking I'd get refuge in Chase's pack. I had thought I'd be protected from the people chasing af
CHASE POV"Jess, Martin, and Rose.""Yes, Alpha." The Omega, Delta, and Eta I called stood to their feet.I assessed all of them and nodded. "I'll be out of the pack for a while, and Magnus will be here to oversee things," I said, addressing the pack members."Accord him the respect you accord to me as my Beta," I murmured and glanced at the people I had called before. "You're to be in charge of Allison. Jess as her maid, Martin and Rose, you can both take turns to shift who'd guard her room.""The lady," Martin began. "She threatened to kill me the last time."He flushed, shaking his head. Typical Allison. I knew she could do that.I chuckled and nodded. "Stay out of her way. And never listen to what she says. Don't let her out of the room, and you can as well tie her if she tries misbehaving. I want to see her in one piece when I return." I said sternly."Yes, Alpha. We'll be sure to guard her with our life." Rose said."That's good to know." I nodded. "This is all the information e
CHASE POV“Darling.”I sighed for the umpteenth time as the whore, Sharon; I believed that was her name, rubbed my earlobe.She brushed her breasts against my arm as she leaned into me, and her finger gripped a lock of my hair.All that she was doing disgust me, but I couldn't push her away.Her job was to satisfy me for my stay in TRINITY for the business deal I came to snag. TRINITY was a large city known for its tourist attractions and commercial building. And it was my second time here.I didn't want to have a romantic partner. Heck, I had no intention of having that. And for me to forget Allison, who was at my pack house, and stopped myself from doing something irrational, like running back home, whereas I had barely done what I came for.I had chosen Sharon to be with me. I saw her as the perfect bed warmer, and fuck, mate.However, I didn't know she was this clingy."Are you listening?" Sharon's annoying voice broke through my thoughts.“How about we get to the penthouse and do
ALLISON POVAs I crossed the busy road, I glanced to my left and right, ensuring it was free; I didn't want what happened last night.A grimace escaped my lips as the image of Chase's face flooded my mind as I hurried down the road.After yesterday's event, I hadn't stopped thinking about him and the blonde, although he should be the last person I was thinking about.Yet, I couldn't. No one told me I would encounter him here.If I had known he'd be here, I doubted I'd have stayed back in the pack house because it was already getting claustrophobic, even as big as it was.Staying another day at the Moon Stone pack might make me insane, and I had no other options.It had been my wish to visit TRINITY CITY, and it was the reason I hadn't had much thought about where I'd go if I left the pack house.I got to the front of the large establishment I had dreamt of working with for a while. I didn't want to stay idle here, and working to pay my rent and other expenses was the best I could do.
