Thor's POVI instantly know it's Eric when the door suddenly opens even before he walks through it. I was supposed to come to grab a quick shower while he went to get clothes for both of us to change into since we were both covered with the stain from my dad's blood. But instead of getting a shower, I was met with a surprise that turned out to be a distraction. A distraction because I totally let down my guard while we were together. At that moment, anybody could have crept up on me and I wouldn't have known in time until it becomes too lateI instantly cover the girl with the whole length of my body, making sure none of her private parts is showing before Eric walks through the door."Get the fuck out Eric, now!" I shout at him and he immediately turns back "Your clothes are here. I'll be waiting for you downstairs." He says behind the closed door and I listen as his quiet footsteps walk away, and down the stairs. Something that I should have done before he walked in on us if I had
"You found your mate!?" Eric says and smiles broadly at me. Wow, that's good news man!..." He really looks happy for me but I don't share his excitement. I just turn on the shower and concentrate on washing my body as the spray of the water jets down on me. Not that I'm not happy to find my mate, as a matter of fact, my mind is preoccupied with the thoughts of her. The few things I noticed about her in the little time we spent together baffles me.Eric stops talking but continues to watch me shower with his arms folded over his chest. I guess he senses something is bothering me. I finish showering and he hands me a towel. Even though he isn't talking anymore, I can feel his eyes watching every one of my movements as we move to the bedroom till I finish dressing in the clothes he brought me."Why are you brooding as if you're about to commit murder, Thor? He finally says, breaking the long silence between us."Now that you finally found your mate that you've been anxious to find fo
Ash's POV'Dick head asshole! Just who the hell does he think he is any way to think he can command me at will!? My Alpha!?... Or perhaps he thinks he's some kind of God's gift to women that I wouldn't be able to resist his charm!?' I think angrily to myself as I storm out of the house.'Well ummm, technically, you're not immune to his charm, so what were you talking about him thinking you couldn't resist his charm?' A voice reminds me in my head and I blush shamefully even when I know no one can hear the voice in my head."Oh, fuck!... The things he did to me!... The way he made me feel!..." I whisper to myself and my mind flashback to our time together in bed. My body immediately reacts to my thoughts and I feel the now familiar euphoric wetness between my legs.As I approach the car Martha said would take me back to the pack house whenever I'm ready to leave, my anger towards him slowly melts away to the extent, I start to regret leaving in anger.The urge to go back to him is so
"C'mon man, calm down! What the fuck is the matter with you! You're scaring the poor girl, can't you see!?" His friend continues to placate him and as if a slate was magically wiped clean, I see his face transform from one of anger to being emotionless. "Yeah, sure" He replies and smirks at me before walking toward the direction where their car is parked. "Come, we'll drop you off wherever you're going." His friend says as we both watch him walk away"Okay, thank you," I say and follow beside him"Thank you for your intervention," I say to him again and he just smiles and nods back at me. Why would he still smile at me after the way I talked to him earlier? He couldn't have forgotten how I was rude to him so soon or could he? I wonderI'm naturally not a rude and unkind person. Just that when I'm angry, I do and say things that when I later think back and remember what I did, I would seriously wonder and doubt if I was not possessed by some daredevil being. And that was exactly what
"Oh yeah? I don't have what it takes to make you jealous?..." I ask and nod knowingly like I totally understand he's speaking the truth. Your statement is utterly true but is that why you wouldn't leave me alone? Why you feel threatened and wouldn't let me go with the virile-looking wolf-man that my Alpha asked to take me back to the pack house!?...""Better shut your mouth right now!" He growls as we continue to glare at each other through the rearview mirror. His face clouds over and looks stormy like he's about to erupt with rage. I should stop taunting him with my words seeing how he's looking like he's about to kill me but there's no stopping me, especially when I've not even started with him. I'm still warming up.""No, I won't shut up! Where do you get off telling me what to do huh!?" I ask angrily. I see Eric cautioning me by giving me a warning look through the rearview mirror but I ignore him. He doesn't know that I can't stop myself from acting recklessly once I'm angry. I
"I see you finally managed to catch a big fish!" I'm not sure but I thought I heard Celine's voice behind me. Nah, it couldn't be Celine. What will she be doing at the pack house at two in the morning? I wonder as I slowly turn around. The happy smile I have on my face from the joy of discovering who my mate is slowly slips away when I see I'm not mistaken. It was indeed the hateful Celine's voice that I heard. She's standing not far from her rickety car. How could I have missed the old thing? I wonder as I walk the few steps that separate us and stand in front of her with arms akimbo. I was so engrossed in the happy world that my mate and I created together that I didn't notice the hunk of metal where it was parked by the side of the road."Who was that? Your boyfriend or have you found your mate? He looked and smelled rich! How did you meet in such a short time?" She enquired rapidly with the trademark stupid smile that was exactly like her son's"Who he is and how we met is none
Thor's POVDammit!" I angrily swear under my breath as I enter the car and close the door. I recline the car seat and lay back with my eyes closed as Eric starts the car and drives away from where we dropped my mate. I'm not happy to leave her behind and the thought that I'll be seeing her the following day is not enough to fill the vacuum space I'm feeling in my heart. Eric says something that I don't quite catch so I open my eyes and look at him"What?" I ask tersely. I can't keep the irritation out of my voice because of my sour mood"Wow!... Is being separated from your mate that awful?..." He repeats what he said before. "You've been growling like you were in pain ever since you left her, you know." He says, his concern for me clearly displayed on his faceI sigh and adjust the chair back to how it was before. I knew I was swearing under my breath but I never realized I was projecting the frustration of parting from my mate to my wolf who hasn't even met his own mate yet."I wa
On arrival, I was informed my dad has been moved to the critical care unit of the hospital. Not because he's in critical condition and needs intensive monitoring but because the unit is located in a secluded wing of the hospital which has never been used since most shifters were rarely ill to the extent of needing intensive care. According to Alpha Nate, apart from the doctor and the maid he promised to help get for my dad, nobody in the Night Howlers pack knows my dad is still alive. Not even Alpha Nate's Beta and his Luna. Henrik is already waiting for us when we drive into the hospital's critical care unit through the back gate. As he leads us to where my dad's new room is located, he keeps us up to date on the things we missed during our few hours of absence. When we arrive in front of my dad's room, he stands guard by the door with Bear and we enter."Thank you, Martha..." My dad says to an old woman that I guess must be the maid Alpha Nate brought.We stand aside and watch as
