Our connection

“Lysa...” he began to say as I lay back on my bed.

We had done something incredible, he had a tremendous talent for giving me pleasure. He was the most attractive and strongest man I had ever seen in my life. Merging together was the most exciting act. I lost my virginity to him and I'd never regret it because his strength was immeasurable and his size was equally amazing.

“I love you.” He finally said with his eyes shining as he looked at me.

How could it be that he loved me even though we had known each other for such a short time? I didn't care, my heart felt connected to his for some strange reason, it was like we had known each other all our lives. I squeezed his hand in mine.

“Can you tell me something? Remember to answer truthfully.” I said, not having put on any clothes yet.

“Maybe I can, Lysa, but remember that we just met. I love you, I know that more than anything, but it's also hard to trust you.”

“Me? I was quite offended by that statement. I rolled my eyes disapprovingly.”

“Yeah, I don't trust that when the time comes, you'll choose revenge.” He said, looking at me with his charming, seductive smile.

“That's a bit insulting.”

“But it's the truth, doll.” Said he again with his irresistible voice, I wanted to be angry, but I couldn't, even if I tried hard.

“You fear that my attachment to my old pack is very strong.” I began to say, since my memories came back, I had these doubts myself. “My alpha was evil, but not my mother and sister.”

“And if it came to that, couldn't you save them? For the greater good or for me?” he asked, turning his gaze on me.

I kept silent, I had no clear answers at that moment. I wouldn't abandon my mother if she was still alive, I loved her. The silence made him feel betrayed.

“I've to go.” I said in a fit of cowardice.

I felt trapped, I loved him as if we had known each other all our lives, but I didn't like that he was forcing me to make this decision. I took a deep breath and started walking through the house looking for the exit. He didn't chase me, but watched me from a distance. He wanted to show me that I wasn't locked up, which was very nice of him.

“Go, my dear, if that is what your heart desires.” He said in the distance, making me blush.

Did I really want to go? I didn't know, even though I asked myself a thousand times. But as I ran, I felt the freedom I once had as a child, when I was a wolf cub who barely knew the hierarchy in the pack.

I took to the streets and ran as fast as my legs would allow. I was tired, yet I kept running. The city spread out around me, grey and dreary. The opposite of Seth's mansion. I didn't obey the instinct to want to stay here, even though I was deeply in love with him.

“Hey, you.” I heard a voice say as I arrived at the bus stop.

Then I recognised him, it was my big brother and alpha of the pack. He stood there in his human form trying to hide his wolf nature. It was impossible not to recognise him, for he had rejected me as Omega, cast me out, and almost condemned me to death.

“You... What do you want from me?” I asked with tears in my eyes, I was afraid, remembering the phase when I was expelled.

“You're a traitor and a freak.” Said he with terrible contempt.

He smiled maliciously and came towards me.

“You can't hurt me, I didn't do anything wrong.” I snapped with what little courage I had left. He was an alpha wolf and I was only a weak omega.

“I can, it's my right as an alpha. I saw what you did, you little traitor. You mated with the hunters who slaughtered our own people for years.” He said sternly, looking at me disapprovingly.

“Well, I'm not one of your kind. I prefer to be alone. I want to find a way away from all this.” I said, though I wasn't sure of my own words.

“There's no going back for what you did. You slept with a hunter, I can smell it on you now, the stench is unbearable.” My brother growled and wanted to turn into a wolf, but was prevented from doing so by the crowds.

It was part of the anonymity of our world that he wanted to lure me to an even more desolate place to end my life. I saw him approach me with some kind of handkerchief. There must have been some kind of sedative in it. Then I began to run away from him and seek shelter.

The sound of the bus approaching at full speed came late to my ear. It took only seconds for it to crush me, and that was the sad end for me. I felt fear paralyse my legs, every bone in my body was frozen by the uncertain fate of death.

I didn't even have time to shout. I guess my brother would be glad he didn't have to kill me with his bare hands.

The bus was almost here when I saw him holding me and hugging me protectively to his chest. Seth carried me away from the curb in his strong arms, saving my life and keeping me from being run over by the vehicle.

I looked into his eyes as he carried me across the street, love written all over his face. He was so handsome that I couldn't take my eyes off his perfect features.

I looked around the street for my brother, but he was gone. For some strange reason he was afraid of Seth, he could smell him even though he was an Omega.

“Don't be afraid princess, I'll always watch over you.” Whispered Seth in my ear, with an incredible sweetness.

I clung to his chest to calm myself. He saved my life, even though I was running away from him, not caring about anything. I was so confused, I didn't want to get away from Seth, but the fear was there too.
