The Gift chronicles novel Chapter 1

Book 1 Chapter 5

 As he called me his mate, for the first time in my life, I froze.

Impossible.

I was certain the Moon Goddess would punish my cruelty by not giving me a mate.

His eyes darkened even more as he began taking long strides towards me.

At his advances, I quickly snapped out of my stupor.

I jumped over the table on to the other side, where I was further from the door he walked through, and put the table in between us.

He snarled, continuing to stalk towards me.

I moved in the opposite direction he approached me from, making sure we were always directly across from each other, on opposite sides of the table.

The other wolves stared at the events unfolding before their eyes in shock.

Beta Samuel and Delta Omar has wide eyes and their mouths were agape.

Alpha Wilson even looked shocked, and like he wanted to say something, but didn't know what.

Alpha Cain must have left his warriors outside of the pack house, because only 3 other men followed him into the room.

"Stop moving away from me and submit, Mate."

He growled, his eyes narrowing at me as I continued to move away from him.

"Should we grab her, Alpha?"

One of the men, presumably the Beta based on his large size asked.

"Nobody fucking touches her except me."

He snarled out in response, sounding more animalistic than human.

Oh fuck no.

I was not about to become this psycho's object.

It was no secret that Alphas were incredibly possessive over their mates.

If I accepted my role as his mate, I would never see the light of day.

I would be locked in his Pack House, only being allowed to see him.

Worst of all, I wouldn't get to go rogue hunting.

Without thinking, I summoned a dagger in each hand.

There was a collective gasp from my pack members, and growls from Blood Lake.

"Don't, Ares! What the fuck are you doing?"

Alpha Wilson didn't use his Alpha command tone, so I wasn't forced to submit.

I can't let him take me.

I'm sorry.

I mindlinked him, without ever taking my eyes off Alpha Cain.

I threw both daggers at Alpha Cain, and sprinted out of the door before waiting to see where they landed.

I was positive they both hit him; I never miss.

I ran out of the conference room and out of the Pack House, although I could hear footsteps following after me.

Good luck.
