FENRIS"Any other wolf who claims to have found their mate?" asks elder Raoul as he looks first at Sierra and then at me. That day I had tried to form a soundproof bubble around us but elder Raoul, being able to wield magic himself, must have heard bits and pieces of our conversation.I try to control my urge to shout out and claim my mate here in front of everyone but I control my wolf and my urges. I promised her time till her birthday which means I have to wait for almost a year.It becomes unbearable to hear the greetings and congratulations the new found mates receive. My animalistic urges are much harder because we had to wait for our mate for 3 years and now, she rejected us.I curl my hands into fists and grit my teeth with a force so as to push my wolf in the back of my mind but fail immediately when we feel her eyes on us. Fuck! I can't control myself. I might mark her here if she stares at us with that sad and broken aura around her.I quickly make my way out of the hall a

SIERRA"Your performance is certainly better than when you all first arrived here. Very good. I hope you all continue with this improvement in every other monthly test. Good Luck!" says elder Amaruq on behalf of other elders and leaves the exam room. Some of their apprentices stay behind to explain our next month's schedule on request of the elders.Fenris is also here and has been occasionally looking at me but as soon as our eyes meet, I immediately avert my eyes. I do not know why but I couldn't gather up the courage to at least show him that I acknowledge his claim.It has been a week now since my wolf's encounter with Fenris and I am still ignoring him. I do not know how to behave around him. I realise I have made a big mistake but I do not know how to rectify it. What if he misunderstands that I am accepting him only because Aztec found his true mate and I am lonely? It is partly true that I do feel lonely but I now know that I shouldn't have rejected him hastily. I kind of gav

SIERRA I wake up to the sound of someone knocking on the door of my room. I try to sit up but quickly stop when I realise that I am naked. How am I naked? I look around quickly to see that I am in an unfamiliar room and it is a very small one with space only for a single bed and a chair. I quickly recall how I ended up lost in the woods and how those two rogues caught me. As the rogues come near me, I do not know how to escape. It is like my brain has stopped working. I just hope that I do not shift back into my human form due to my state of panicking. I look at them in fear knowing that they are going to hurt me. One rogue with sandy brown hair comes closer to me and crouches a little to reach near my neck. He moves his hand over my fur and his touch gives me nausea. "Won't you shift back for me princess?" he says and I try to move out of his grasp. He quickly grasps the scruff of my neck and applies pressure to effectively stop any movement of mine. From the corner of my eye I

FENRIS"Why the hell have you trapped me in here? I should be out there searching for my mate." I shout at elder Amaruq who is silently watching me. The dose of wolfsbane injected in me has started to wore off. I don't know how much time has passed since my mate went missing."Your rage is going to kill us all, Fenris. One she-wolf's life is nothing compared to the lives of all the students and this building. I do not want you to go and bring the wrath of those rogues on this school and its students. You need to promise me that you would not go to search Sierra only then I will allow you to go," says Amaruq and I feel my anger towards this man turning into hate."I have every right to search for my mate. Why are so negligent towards her?" I growl out."Fenris, you do not know the rogues and their power. They indulge in black magic that is the reason why they can hide their scent. I do not want my reputation as an Elder to be destroyed because of one girl's silliness," the elder says n

SIERRAWe sit there on the hospital bed snuggled together for what felt like hours. I am still in his arms and now the intensity of the currents is way more than the first time. Suddenly, I realise that I am naked beneath his shirt and whatever this need is to be close to him becomes overwhelming. I quickly move away from his embrace and settle back on the cushions of the hospital bed.I do not have the courage to look into his eyes and see his expression. I do not know what I will see in his eyes. I do not want to see those black predatory orbs. I want to see those blue eyes clear like the ocean which always tries to pull me into their depths to seek the secrets lying within. Those blue eyes are a lot more welcoming than the black eyes. I wonder why this colour change is happening. I haven't ever heard of a wolf with changing eye colours."Uh ... Th ... Thank you for comforting me," I say, looking up at him. As soon as he hears my words, his face morphs into one of sadness. I again
