CHAPTER 4

Ava's POV:

I turned around and saw a big brown wolf, snarling at me. He was huge with big red eyes and saliva dripping from his sharp yellow cannings. He was growling, and ready to pounce on me.

I took a step back, trying to make a run for my life. Never in my life, I had countered a rouge. He was taking slow, hunting steps towards me. Just as I was making a run, he pounced on me and Digg his sharp claws in my arm, slashing me. I screamed in pain, blood started dripping from my wound, involuntary my hand was placed over my mind to stop the pain and the bleeding.

The wolf again aimed for a bite but I evaded him. I kicked him in the face, he snarled back, I sprinted towards the woods. I was running as fast as my legs can take me. I tried to shift into my wolf but the pain was too much to bear. I tried mind linking Cora and fleur but I couldn’t.

I heard snarling, and heavy paws battering on the ground. I speed up, but now, I was deeper in the woods. While running I tripped over a log and rolled over the ground, my dress was a thorn, My knees got scraped.

All of a sudden everything fell silent, I feel a harsh breath on my neck. I didn’t dare to look back. Snarling and hissing were the only sounds to be heard.

I reluctantly look over my shoulder, and there was the ugly wolf, ready to attack. I took stagnant steps back not to anger the monster more. Is this my end? I tried to mind link them once again but due to fear I couldn’t. Just as the wolf was about to pounce on me, he was thrown back mercilessly, he collided with a tree with a loud thud.

A black wolf was standing in front of me. He was gigantic, with glowing red eyes. He was growling at the rogue. He look back at me and his eyes fell on my wound, he growled loudly and charged towards the rogue.

By now the wolf was standing growling at the black wolf. Both the wolves were encircled each other, looking for any deformity. The black wolf had a powerful aura like someone of high rank. The brown wolf pounce on the black wolf but he was quick to dodge him. The black wolf kicked him, sending him flying across trees. The rogue again rose but the black wolf was quick to attack, he bite the rogue in his neck, cutting his veins, blood started gushing out of his neck like a fountain but the black wolf didn’t let go. There was madness in his eyes, and that shook me to the core, but there was a certain satisfaction and belief in my heat that he won’t hurt me. The wolf eyes were bulged out, he was shaking, after a few moments, his body fell to the ground. He was dead but his eyes were wide open looking straight at me.

I felt light-headed, and just as I was about to kiss the ground, two strong arms were wrapped around me, bringing me to his warm chest. His scent filled my senses, heaven, that’s what I felt that time, tingles shot through my body. I looked up at the mesmerizing eyes of the person who’s responsible for my sleepless nights, my mate, but his eyes were a shade dark, glowing. I trembled in his strong hold, his warm breath hitting my temple as I stood frozen, didn’t know what to expect from his wolf. Will he reject me the same way? Tears brimmed my eyes at the thought. Why they can't love me?

His hands tightened around my waist. I gazed into his glowing eyes, absolutely mesmerized by their wild beauty. His hands went up to my face, and cupped it gently in his calloused hands, eyes running over the length of my face as he came impossibly closer to me.

“Beautiful,” he spoke softly into the silence, his voice deeper than usual.

“Al-Alpha Xavier? I stuttered out not knowing what to do. This wasn’t what I expected.

"Zion, not Xavier,” he said, his stance still not completely broken. He was looking at me as if mesmerizing my every single detail. Like I’m his most precious possession. I shuffled under his intense gaze.

“Zion loves mate, mate is beautiful,” his eyes glowing. He was still hugging me close to his body.

His eyes went towards my wound, and it darkened.

“Mate is hurt? Mats is in pain,” he panicked, seeing my wound. He took my arm, and licked it.

“I’m fin…, Just as I was saying, I was fine, I heard a tearing sound. He tore his shirt and tied it around my wound.

My heart swelled, seeing my mate care for me. I've always seen him caring for Jessica but today, his caring nature towards me, I couldn’t controlled my tears. They were flowing freely from my eyes. A sob racked through my body, this caught my mate’s attention, who was glaring at the wound as if threatening it to heal quickly.

Cupping my face, looked at me worriedly, tears brimmed his eyes. I couldn’t take it anymore and hugged him tightly. I cried on his shoulder. He was rubbing my back gently. I cried for his love, for being deplorable. I cried my heart out.

Don’t know for how long we sit there, me crying and him holding me and consoling me. I hugged him more tightly when I felt my fingers wet, I looked down to see blood on my fingers. I backed away a little and took his arm to see a large gash on his arm and chest.

“You’re hurt,” I said through my tears while holding his hand.

“Zion isn’t hurt. Zion is big bad alpha,” he said proudly while pulling his chest out.

I laugh loud, seeing my adorable mate and decided to tease him. I don’t know next time, will I get moments like this with him or not so, I’m gonna make most of it and cherish it forever.

“You’re adorable,” I said while pulling his cheeks.

“Huh, Zion's not adorable, zion is mate’s big bad alpha, zion protects mate”, He pouted while crossing his arms over his chest. I pretended to be sad. Seeing this he pulled me more closer, as if we were not close enough. “Mate is sad? Zion is adorable,” He said quickly, to cheer me up. I laugh and hugged him, he hugged back. His heartbeat is my favorite music, that brings me Serenity and peace. He's my heaven.

Suddenly, I remembered his wound, I pulled back, zion looked at me confused. I looked at something to tie his wound but their wasn’t any. Then I remembered this special herb that helps in healing.

I tried to get up, keyword tried but this big wolf wasn’t in the mood of letting me go. I tried to wiggle but he tightened his hold more. I huffed and asked him to let go.

“Zion loves mate, but mate doesn’t love zion. Mate wants away from zion,” his beautiful eyes turning to a dim sadness. Tears clouded his eyes and a lone tear escaped. My heart constricted seeing this.

“Mate loves zion more than anything. Mate loves Xavier and zion both. I will never leave you,” I said while cupping his cheek and wiping his tears away, I kissed his temple. How can I leave this man when he has become my reason to live?

“Mate do?” He asked softly. I nodded my head in affirmation. He hugged me close to his chest and nuzzled my neck, and started peppering butterfly kisses on my neck. I gasped at his sudden action, I can feel him smirking in my neck. This pervert alpha.

Electricity shoot through my body. My heartbeat went haywire. I was getting lost in this feeling. Feeling of being loved by him, feeling of being wanted. I want time to stop and it’ll be just the two of us but I can’t, his wound needs to be treated. As an alpha, it’s nothing for him but I can’t let him. I can’t let him being in slightest pain. If he wasn’t here today to save me, I don’t know what have been happened. I don’t know how he found me but I’m glad he did. “I-I have to-to treat your-your wound,” I stuttered because of his sweet torture. He still didn’t made any effort of pulling away. I sighed, and put my hands on his shoulder to create some space between us. Before he can react, I stood up and ran for the herbs.

I giggled when I heard a growl but I know he wouldn’t had let me go. I was looking for that special herbs, chervil, they’re known for their properties and are used for centuries. I found chervil, took them and cobnuts. I made an ointment by pounding them in stones.

I was making the ointment when I was roughly turned around. Someone hugged me tightly while placing his head in my neck. By the sparks I knew, it was the adorable alpha. I smiled and when I was about to tease him, he looked in my eyes and my heart broke, seeing tears falling freely from his eyes.

“Mate leaves Zion, Zion loves mate,” he took my hand and placed it on his heart while placed his head on my chest, “Zion heart beats only for mate,” he said with so much love and sincerity that I almost cried. I hugged him back tightly.

I tried to pull back but he only whined. I glared and he let me go. Guess, this bad boy got a weakness. I took the ointment and applied it to his arm, when I moved to his chest, I froze. I haven’t seen a male naked and now this, I was hesitant but when I look up, this pervert was smirking.

“Can you please take the shirt off? I asked shyly.

“Zion is hurt. Zion can’t do this. Mate do,” I was shocked, the audacity of this ugly wolf. I slowly unbutton his shirt with shaky hands. After taking off his shirt, I started applying the ointment. I was applying it with trembling hands when he suddenly bend down and took my earlobe in his mouth. Sucking it slowly, a moan escaped my mouth. This man was making me go crazy.

“It hurts, mate, apply the ointment,” he said innocently but I knew that he was far from being innocent. I was applying the ointment while he was kissing and nipping my neck.

"Done," I stepped back from his warm embrace. He approximately is toxic for me. My heartbeats so fast and my mind can't think rational. I had became a trembling leaf in his strong yet loving hold. He smiled, step forward and bowed down little.

"May I have this dance with mate"? He said in his cute British accent.

I giggled and placed my hand in his. He wrapped his arms around my waist while I placed my hand on his shoulder. My face was pressed against his chest, damn, for being a shortie. He nuzzled my neck and purred. He slowly started swaying our bodies.

We were dancing without music, but do we need some? NO!

I placed my head on his chest, his heartbeat is my favorite music. Rushing wind, dancing trees, universe was our music. Beautiful melody.

He twirled me around and hugged me from back. He nuzzled my neck and a growled rumbled his chest. I don't remember for how long we danced, but that doesn't matter. Today's day is my most valuable possession, that I'll cherish forever. Don't know what future had hold for us but right in this moment, he's mine. Sometimes our delusions are more beautiful than the reality. In this moment we were one. I closed my eyes and rest back on his chest, my mate, my heaven.

The universe is singing

Come and take my hand

Let us dance together

Moving to the music of love

The meadows will be our dance floor

Come and hold me close

Barefoot, feeling the earth beneath us

Moving on the rythem of life

I'm losing my inhibitions

As we wirl in this ecstasy

Dancing with the universe

Moving in perfect harmony

The music of love has no end

And so we dance day long

Passionate and full of life

Until we became one
