Mateo's pov
"There is a fracture in her arms, a ligament tear in her thigh and few broken bones."
"Yet what surprises me more is that her wolf is not in the picture. If it was then half of her injuries would have already healed on their own till now."
I stare at her pale face as the doctor speaks , asking him in confusion.
"But she is a werewolf. How come her wolf is not healing her?
He sighs. Moving back to look up at me. Reluctant to answer.
"In all the cases that I have seen before. There are only 2 reasons for something like this to happen."
"The first is rejection and the second....."
He looks at her in pity. To meet my eyes.
"And the second?"
.
.
"A she wolf being forced against her will."
I go still. My heart thudding rapidly in my chest as I look at her peaceful sleeping face.
She has suffered already huh?
I wanted to feel pity. But I couldn't. She was a murderer herself. The hell will I ever feel pity for the likes of her.
My eyes take in that long scar on her cheek, that wasn't there before and I clench my fist.
Another proof of her suffering?
I had this urge to touch her scar. To feel it under my fingers. When I stop myself.
Fuc*!
What am I gonna do now?
My hatred for her is at one side, what my people will do when they come to know she is my mate?
Is a completely different story.
They lynched her father in vengeance.And if they come to know she is alive, breathing and is my mate?
I know they can go to any extent to kill her.
What else then? Should I reject her?
Her wolf is already out of picture. If I reject her, there are chances she will die right here.
Damn man! This is so messed up.
I can't let anyone know.
Till I get the seat of the Alpha King.I have to keep her hidden.
My thoughts are interrupted by the doctor leaving. And I pull a seat to sit beside her.
My eyes trailing her face to stop at her lips which were bruised. Covered in dried scraps of blood.
And I couldn't help, trace those luscious lips with the pad of my thumb.
It was me who taught her how to kiss. How she nibbled on my lips the first time she tried.
How innocent she was.
Or was she fooling me all that time?
My thoughts are interrupted by her groaning in pain.Sweat covering her forehead as she moves her head in a no.
And I can't help wonder what was she having nightmares about?
When she made my living life a fuc*ing nightmare.
I clench my fists. Feeling angry suddenly. To retreat my fingers.
When she takes a big gasp, and her eyes widely open.
Her scared brown ones meet my emotionless grey ones.
And I see the the emotions change clearly in them.
Confusion, anxiousness, disbelief to finally settle in fear.
Raw and evident.
It felt like everything stood still for a second as we stared.
But this was not what she wanted.
Within seconds, she pushes me back. Seeing me so close to her. Breathing heavily like she ran a damn marathon.
And I clench my fist more. Seething.
" Good morning Peaches. I see you are finally awake from your beauty sleep."
I say, sarcastically. While she looks around at my room in panic. Next I know, she throws aside the comforter and tries to get up.
Disregarding her wounded thigh.
What a stupid move.
I stare at her futile attempts. Not doing anything to help her.
Seeing her staggering. Holding the wall to run away from me. Limping on her good leg.
Her fearful eyes looking at me over her shoulder in fear, while I just chuckle.
" Not a nice way to thank the one that saved your life Peaches."
I say getting up and approaching her.Crossing my arms while leaning on the wall beside her.
To see her trying to walk past me.
Her scent hitting me as the wind blows from the window. Making me wish to take her on this wall only.
To fuc* her out of her senses.
I expected her to plead me. Asking me to accept her. To forgive her. But she refused to even meet my eyes.
Like she was disgusted.
Showing me her hand, she asks me to stay back and I feel my anger flare.
Such audacity.
Coiling my hand behind her neck, I pull her to pin her on the wall. Making our noses to touch and her heavy breaths to hit my face.
" What the hell bitc*! Do you know know I can kill you any second!"
I speak, trying to control my sh*t while she just blankly states at me. Not affected.
I look down to see her chest heaving and the bandages around her thigh, red with blood.
But her face? It conceals everything.
How?
Wasn't she hurting.
How can she fuc*ing act so calm!
She considers my words for a second, to only disregard them.Avoiding my eyes, she just presses her cheek on the wall.Staring at a spot outside.
This girl!
"What were you doing roaming around near the borders of my territory?"
I ask.
Silence. Nothing.
"You know the order is to kill at sight. Don't you?"
I ask again. To see her still refusing to answer me, let alone look at me.
Just how? How can this girl manage to ruin my mood in just few minutes.
" Fuc* Eirene! I am asking you something!"
She just closed her eyes instead. Making it impossible for me to control it.
And I hold her jaw in my grip, tilting her face to make her look at me.
" Speak !"
I roar and I find her body shivering under my Alpha voice. But her eyes. They remain closed. Adamant. Determined. Revolting.
My eyes trailing lower to her lips and I find that urge to kiss her building.
My wolf going crazy in my mind.
As I only tighten my grip on her, dipping my face lower on her shoulder. To take in her scent. Asking her.
" When I was finally moving on from you. When I was ready to replace you. Why the fuc* did you have to come back?"
" And that also as my goddammit mate!"
" Tell me!"
Punching the wall beside her head I scream in frustration. My eyes red and stormy. When she finally opens her eyes.
And my heart thuds seeing that innocence still present in them.
Those brown orbs, playing with my conscience.
I take another deep breath. Inhaling her peach scent and my wolf goes crazy. Making a headache to begin.
My eyes trailing lower to those lustrous lips once again as I caress the corner of her mouth.
" What do you want now Eirene? Why are you here?"
"Speak dammit!"
I shout.Knowing my grip was painful. To only see her lips quiver. Her mouth opens and closes. But no word leaves her lips.
And my wolf thrashes in my mind. Forcing me to get him the answers.
"Tell me!"
She lowers her eyes, to only close them. And my mind went blank when I see a rogue tear stream down her eye.
My heart thumping in my chest as my grip loosens on her.
What the hell am I doing!
Why are her tears affecting me?
This bitc* is playing with me again.
" Power, status or sex?"
" Come on tell me. What's it?"
Her eyes widen listening to my words. As he successfully covers it up. Managing to push me aside.
She takes staggering steps back.To only grab a pen and paper from the side table. And scribble down the words with her shaking hands.
" Freedom"
She wrote. But I was least concerned about her answer. My eyes fixed on her mouth which opens and closes but no voice leaves her.
" Why are you writing it down. Can't you speak?"
I ask. Throwing aside the paper as she lowers her eyes. Clenching her fists.
To nod slightly.
And my mind went blank.
.
She can't speak.
.
.
She is mute?
Eirene's pov Life has taught me alot of things till now. And one of them is to not trust anyone, ever. " Why are you writing it? Can't you speak?" Mat asks growing impatient, his grip on my jaw tolerable inspite of his raging anger. And I close my eyes feeling those sparks erupting. Experiencing there luxury for those few seconds, till I could afford them. 'You don't have to' Ren says , knowing what I was going to do. But she knew better to not go against my judgement. In our duo, I was the practical while she get's easily blown by emotions. But past has proved indeed , that it's always me that brought us out alive. Taking a deep breath, I close my eyes. To finally do it. I nod. And the look on his face made me wonder if he still cared for me. If somewhere inside him the Eirene that I have lost was alive. He moves back , disbelie
Eirene's pov He pulls back from the kiss, leaving both of us breathless.And I taste blood on my lips. While he just smirks. Loving this game " You still don't know how to kiss back, huh?" He teases. And I just lower my eyes. Who has time to kiss when there are empty stomachs to feed. Shelter to be provided and lives to be saved. I almost forgot what it felt like. Unless now. Caressing my cheek with his fingers. He continues to stare at me to only smirk. " Don't worry. When I am done with you? You will be doing more than just kissing me back peaches" He teases and I clench my fists. My wolf was already jumping in excitement while I felt dread. He was not a man to be messed with. I can't even imagine what will happen if he comes to know the truth. Forget this? He would definitely tie me in t
His hand descends lower to caress her thigh and she suppresses a moan. Her hips moving back to hit his core. "That's like a good girl" He whispers , leaving a featherly kiss behind her ear. To only have her clench the bedsheets. With a sudden pull, he grabs her waist casually lifting her up and placing her bottoms on his lap. Making her eyes to widen as she feel his need for her, nudging her bottom. Pushing open her thighs, wide open.He continues to rub his tip of nose up and down her neck from behind. Building the desire further. Her back presses further against his chest as she tries to increase the distance between them,but no avail. "Your body is begging me." Picking up the tube with his one hand,his other hand remained fixed on her thigh. As he places another kiss on the place where his mark would be. While putting the lotion on his finger, his chin resting on her shoulder. "Isn't this wha
6 months later Eirene walks down the pack grounds. With head lowered and a bucket of washed clothes in her hand. Her hair have grown long, successfuly able to hide the mark on her neck. Making her look like any other pack girl there. Making her way inside. She enters the kitchen to only find a group of 3 girls there. Talking amongst themselves. " Are you sure she is the one?" One of them asks. Staring at Eirene from top to bottom in disgust. To which she just ignores. Boiling some hot water. Making the other to nod "Yaa ,she is the Alpha's new slu*. I bet he will get bored of her very soon" Other speaks casually, to have their leader, Paige to join. " See her face. That scar is so ugly! Ahhh what happened to the Alpha's choice?" Paige scoffs. Convincing more people to make them hate the girl Alpha seems to hav
Eirene's pov The werewolf kingdom comprises of 4 provinces, Blood;moon; silver and Royal. And each province has a number of packs under it. Mateo's Bloodmoon pack lying just between the territories of blood and moon province. Since time immemorial Bloodmoon pack has been the most strategically important location and also the blood ground of battlefield as some call it.Owing to the river that flows through it. Resorces are the biggest wealth of a pack and Siren river flowing through it, makes Mateo's pack control a lot of trade between the provinces. Not only that a large sum of duty also comes from here. Making Redmoon pack to be one of the richest packs in world. And this was one of the reasons why Mateo's position as the next werewolf King was confirmed, not to forget his own leadership abilities and unmatchable strength. How
Mateo's pov Power is desired by all. I was no exception to it. And with great power comes greater enemies and of course greater responsibility. Slicing the neck of the Beta wolf of Riverdale pack, I breathe heavily attacking the next one. Killing him easily. Fools, that's what I can say about them. If they think they all can defeat me by colluding together and attacking. My pack's strength is unmatchable,all the wolves are trained to be killers. No way can these normal wolves stand in front of us. I see the Alpha of Royal pack, pinning one of my pack wolves. And I roar, leaping on him. Making both our bodies to hit the tree behind and he withered in pain. Snapping on my neck, he tries to get hold of it when I root my canines into his neck. Twisting it and his thrashing seizes. Dead. Throwing his body aside, I clean to blood on my sn
Somewhere in the forest Rogue LandsA she wolf growls lowly at everyone as they try to put chains on her. Snarling, with eyes dark." Calm down ! We don't want to hurt you!"Charlie requests her but it was no use. She was not in her senses. Blinded by rage, her wolf going crazy after her mate's death.."He has to dieeee!!! We will attack tomorrow! We won't let them go this easily"Some of the other she wolves come forward. Who have lost someone dear in the attack last night. Supporting the feral she wolf." Please you need to wait. We can't go against the Alpha! Viper has asked us to wait!"" He is with them! He is no longer our Alpha!"Charlie tries to stop the she wolves who were barring their teeth a
Eirene's pov My heart thuds rapidly in my chest. As I stare at him Looking at me for answers. He doesn't say anything. Just stares with a raised eyebrow, but his silence. It was laying a million accusations. " Where were you?" The dreaded question is asked finally. And I could just gulp , pressing my palms on the door behind. Preperating myself for his storms. Getting up, in a scary kind of silence. He approaches me. Keeping down his wine glass to pick up a notebook and pen instead. Standing in front, he pulls forward my hand from my wrist. To keep a pen in my hands. Whispering dangerously in my ear. " Write it down Eirene. Where were you?" Each word leaving his lips felt like poison. And my hand trembles as he leans more closer to my neck. Sniffing my scent or rather sniffing any other male's scent if present on me. I stand
