(Alaric’s POV)
*Huff huff* I was running fast and hard, unrestrained after what has transpired outside the mansion with that human girl. My body was still in heat despite me racing like maniac. I have been sprinting across the entire forest, still my mind is buzzing with her words, her appearance, damn!
"Mate, my mate? Not a fucking damn chance. No human piece of trash can be my mate." Alaric uttered to himself.
Alex was running as if there were skates beneath his paws. He was sauntering, feeling giddy, ’Alaric, SHE IS our mate’ he said with surety.
’What nonsense are you spouting, you stupid wolf? She, my mate? Huhh, Have lost your goddess damn senses? Are you that weak of a wolf that you can’t even differentiate between what’s right and what’s not?’ Alaric roared inside Alex.
Alex was offended by Alaric’s choice of words. He was a part of Alaric, but he has his own identity as well. Alex was the most ruthless and decisive Lycan wolf in the entirety of the Alpha’s, only second to his father Noah’s wolf, ARTH.
Alex has a certain aura, his raven and slightly navy fur shining brightly under the moon, waving from all the sprinting. His imposing stature was such, that an Alpha wolf would look like a teenager in front of him. And Alaric was cussing at HIM? Alex was pissed.
’Alaric Everests, I am your wolf. It’s within my ability to identify MY MATE. So don’t lecture me about what’s what. I don’t know how but I can feel the mate bond with Myra. Whether you like it or not, she is our mate and I won’t be listening to you quietly about Myra anymore.’ Alex said proudly.
Alaric snorted, ’OUR MATE. Haha, that human girl is nothing to me. And if moon goddess has given me a punishment like her as a mate, I will reject her. But mind you, it is nothing but her trick, an illusion.’
Alex rebuked, howling, ’No you won’t. She is my mate as well so it is not just up to you to decide. SHE IS NOT SOME ILLUSION or a PUNISHMENT to me, but a gift. Don’t you dare do anything to her."
"ALEX" Alaric growled. "Don’t challenge my authority. You may be my companion and friend but I will not tolerate your tantrums on this one. My decision is final."
Both Alaric and Alex locked horns on Myra being their mate or not.
Alaric words have hurt Alex; he didn’t want to argue any further, his pride was bruised. He retreated ignoring Alaric completely, which changed his form back to human. Alaric was stark naked, in the middle of the forest and his wolf was all grumpy and upset. This made him frustrate even more.
’Myra Miracle, you want to get closer to me. You are even breaking my wolf and me apart. Soon, you’ll get what you want’ Alaric smirked devising a plan to torture Myra.

’OH MY GOD! I look awful’ I looked at myself in the mirror. My eyes all puffy and my lips were all swollen. But still my tears didn’t stop, even now they didn’t cease.
’How could he, that annoying bastard of a man. He tried to .... tried to force me and didn’t even ... felt an ounce of shame, bloody scum.’
*Heaving Gasping* ’Ummm, it fheeelsss, sooooo good, hmm. Baby, plesssaseee, please ahhhh. My Mate ..... you are so ... gooooood’ I jolted awake from another session of those raunchy dreams that I am having since the day I have arrived to Kimberg.
I got out of my bed and walked to the balcony which was facing the deep forest. I leaned onto the railing, feeling the cold breeze which made me shiver a bit but it was calming me as well. I closed my eyes and inhaled and exhaled rhythmically as I heard weird noises from the forest.
I opened my eyes from the disturbance and searched for the source but couldn’t as it was almost pitch black dark.
Squinting my eyes a little, I scanned the area once more as I felt someone watching me from the forest. There, on the edge of the forest I saw crystal clear, a ruby pair of eyes boring into my face. ’Wh-what, what’s that?’
My mind went blank as I was scared out of my wits as well as perplexed by that thing. I didn’t see any face, just a pair of eyes and a sound of growling. ’Is it some animal, what how can someone’s eye glow?’ I staggered backwards in fear.
As I turned back to go inside the room, I bumped into someone, my fragile nose crushed from the impact. I tried to push but the person didn’t budge. Instead, my body lost the momentum and I wobbled back. But before I could hit the railing, a hand stopped me from sinking further holding my bruised wrist.
The second he held my hand, I heard him say the words I have heard twice in the last four hours, "MATE."
