Chapter 11: Chapter eleven - Got you, baby girl

[AZRAEL]

She took off as a wind; I must admit that my kitten is fast, even in her human form. Now I'm sure that she went through intense training, as all blood warriors. Why wouldn't she? Her father is Alpha Zane Snow, after all. Until today I thought that he and his kid had died in that terrible car accident, which happened when I was barely 11 years old. I remember how my father wanted to destroy his whole pack for refusing his offer for Alphas Snow's daughter to become my fiancée.

Until today I despised the Blood Warrior pack, the same as my father used to. But now. Now I have changed my mind pretty fast, at least partly. My mate is from that pack; she is the Alphas daughter. Somewhere deep down I will always hate that pack, no matter what, I've been raised by someone, who had the most deep-rooted hate for Alpha Snow, I can't get rid of emotions like that in an instant. For what seemed to be hours, turned out just a second, while I drowned in my thoughts.

I have to go after her. I have to get her and claim my mate, so nobody would ever dare look her way.

The thought of unmated males looking at my beautiful mate made my blood boil. I could kill anyone without a second thought, to keep her safe, to keep her mine!

I still kept watching my mates tiny figure disappearing closer to the forest area. A loud laugh escaped my lips; I haven't felt this happy or this excited since I was a little pup.

"Let the game begin. Run, little one," I yelled loud enough for my mate to hear me.

Just as I placed one foot out of the club, my wolf instantly took over. We, wolves, are playful creatures, we do love a good game of chase, and he loved this game more than others. But most importantly, he loved the fact that he's about to mark our mate. He's been waiting for a long, long time to finally meet her, while I kept thinking that I don't want her, he never gave up.

We howled in cold night air before we took after our mates scent. She has been trying to hide it. Silly girl, we are your mate, you can run, but you can't hide. Soon after, we tracked her down and kept hidden in the bushes. Two can play this game. I mentally smirked as I noticed how she was climbing a tree.

Does she think that getting onto a tree will save her from me?

Is she even serious?

"She didn't know what mate is, her wolf had to explain her everything. They kept secrets from her for a reason", my wolf spoke.

"Have you talked to her wolf already?" I asked.

"Yes, her name is Skye, and she is perfect. She's just as perfect for me as Raven girl is for you", he added, and we kept watching our little mate.

"Girl is afraid of you. Her wolf said that the girl has a panic attack, little pup thinks that you might torture her. Also, don't get too excited, but her birthday is going to be in a week", he told me every detail my mate's wolf has given him.

"I should get her something nice then," the idea of her thinking that I might hurt her was unbearable. I need to avoid any thoughts of it before I lose control. It's hard enough for me to keep a clear mind in front of her; this would make everything much worse.

"Her 18th birthday, dumbass", he growled.

"Ooooh."

My wolf nodded, and I almost squirmed like a little girl in happiness. She is about to turn 18 years old.

Us, werewolves, we find our mates soon after our 16th birthday. It wasn't the same for me, of course, but it doesn't matter now. As soon as we find our mates, we instantly fall in love, just as I did when she looked into my eyes. Only after 18th birthday, wolves are allowed to get fully mated. I don't need to wait damn two years; it's only a week. Soon I'll have her entirely to myself. And nothing will stand in my way. Shit, I zoned out again.

Fuck this game; I have to mark her. NOW.

Just as I reminded my wolf about our mission, my little mate got off from the tree. Ah, she was looking for me, not hiding after all.

She stood there, thinking of to which direction she could take off.

I could see it by her facial expression. So easy to read, it's cute.

My wolf gave me full control, and I shifted back to my human form. I approached her from the back and gently placed my hands on her hips, holding my grip onto her tightly so that she couldn't escape.

"Got you, baby girl," I whispered.

At first, she seemed tense, but a moment later, her body melted into my hands. I leaned to the crook of her neck and deeply inhaled her scent.

I can't mate her yet; it's too early. Even though I do want to, I just can't.

I traced gentle kisses down on her neck; her body shivered under my lips. I knew she enjoyed it as much as I did.

A quiet moan escaped her lips, and I instantly turned her around to face me. She was breathing heavily; none of us was about to break eye contact. She then bit into her lower lip and just as easy as that- I lost my control. I couldn't stand waiting anymore.

That's when I leaned closer to her and sink my canes into her flesh. Now she tastes even better. Her body spoke for her.

Fear, pain, and soon after, a rush of happiness and pleasure ran through her. As soon as I pushed myself away from her, she passed out. I sighed, understanding that this might be a lot to take for such a tiny she-wolf. I took her onto my arms and carried her to the closest pack hospital. Now nobody will dare to touch her.

She's mine!

Finally!

I think I love her.

I'm not sure, but.

But not that bullshit love about what people talk.

I think I love her for real.

Like kids love.
