Chapter 9: Chapter 9

He was battling with his own mindset when he smelt a mouth-watering smell of blood with the fragrance of rose. At the same time, his mutt said that word that he didn’t want to hear, at least not for a werewolf.

‘Mate.’

He really didn’t want to see and check on the person whom his wolf called as Mate, but he just couldn’t control himself; his wolf forced him to go and look who his mate was. In the end, he ended up hiding at a place in the dark where no one could see him, or that he thought so because, within a second, he found her looking in his direction.

He was positive that she could see and sense him even though his scent was masked. That was the power of mate bond; a lot of things didn’t work on it. But at the same time, she couldn’t see his face, unlike him, who was observing every tiny detail of her failure.

Her red hair was tied in a high ponytail. Her hair looked smooth and soft that he immediately wanted to run his fingers in her hair. Her beautiful green eyes were looking at him, and what surprised him was her specs.

Why would any werewolf wear that? Because their eyesight was just as brilliant as vampires.

There was curiosity in her eyes, maybe to know her mate. She wasn’t beautiful, obviously, but she had an innocent baby face. He wouldn’t be surprised if anyone told him that she was just sixteen years old. A smile was going to appear on his face when she screamed in fear, turning her head in another direction.

He didn’t care what Alaric did, but he wouldn’t lie; he felt like he missed a heartbeat when Alaric reached near her. The same heart that he kept saying to himself that he didn't have. The fact that he might hurt her scared the shit out of him.

But thankfully, Alaric didn’t do anything like that, he had barely forwarded his sword toward Liara, and she cried in fear so loud, like a baby, that he controlled his laughter. Observing her closed eyes, he quickly took that opportunity to grab two of her biggest luggage and ran as fast as he could, thinking there must be some important and costly items in it while Beast followed him half unwillingly.

And that was because of his wolf.

*

Mother Selene!!! My superhuman hearing power.” Alaric complained, checking on his ear. “That mutt cried like she had seen some ghost,” he added, looking at Beast, whose eyes were constantly changing colors from red to black with golden rims.

‘Mate. Go near, mate.’ Inigo growled in anger because his heart arched with the those that how his stupid vampire had left her alone in the forest, and that too when she was scared.

“Wolfsbane.” Beast hissed when he felt that the mutt in his mind was getting out of control. Alaric quickly gave it to Beast, knowing that he had a habit of controlling his wolf in this way, no matter how much pain he would have to bear.

Beast injected wolfsbane into his body on his own to calm his wolf down. It hurt him like hell when the other part of him howled in pain, but this pain was nothing in comparison to the pain that he had been born with his whole life. The pain that he was the reason because his mother was dead and he was the result of rape.

Now the fact he had been paired with a mutt was the last thing that he ever wanted.

Why a werewolf?

Why could Mother Selenen’t bless him with a vampire as his mate?

Or hell, why did she bless him with a mate anyway?

“Are you okay?” Alaric asked in concern but didn’t get any response from him. How could he be okay when he was in so much pain? So, he changed the topic, “Okay!! Let’s see what we have in these boxes. I have a feeling that girl is a daughter of a rich Alpha for sure. I hope we will get some expensive jewelry in it.” he added and opened the box. His eyes widened when he saw what was in it.

“What the hell…” he muttered in anger and then checked the other luggage and his eyes thinned in anger,

“Who the hell carries these things?” Alaric asked Beast, who was on the verge of laughing. Immediately they were alerted when they sensed someone’s footsteps.

Beast recognized the alluring scent immediately, while Alaric, too, recognized that scent because he had recently met the girl with that smell.

“My…. my books.” Liara reached there, breathing heavily. The moment she realized that her books had been stolen by those vampires. She knew that she just couldn’t let that happen. She followed his mate's scent to find them.

“How on the earth….” Alaric attacked her, slamming her against the tree and choking her neck. “....did she find us?” He questioned because there was no way anyone could sense them because he had masked their scents.

‘I don’t care.’

‘I don’t give a damn.’

‘She is a dog.’

‘She is my enemy.’

‘I hate her.’

Beast kept chanting in his mind when Liara whimpered in pain after her head, and her body was slammed against the tree hardly. Even without his wolf’s presence, the bond was affecting him badly, and the moment his eyes landed on her and observed the tears in her eyes because of the pain. He lost it.

He grabbed Alaric’s neck from his back and threw him away.

“What the…” Alaric was about to attack, thinking some stranger had attacked him from behind when he was busy choking the girl’s neck but stopped in the middle when he found Beast standing in front of Liara, glaring at him.
