Zayreen's Pov:
She stood showing her back to me in a long t-shirt barely covering her. I can smell her arousal in the air and I know she is attracted to me as I am to her but the question is why? I have never been attracted to anyone since Lena and I was celibate too but now I don't have words to describe this pull between us.
My wolf is growling and pacing in my head ready to pounce on anyone who dares to come near her. I need to stay focused rather than salivate at this she-wolf.
I don't know why I asked my men to leave when in the first place I should tell that rogue she-wolves to leave but even at that thought my wolf growled loudly in my head giving way to a headache. After losing Lena he has become a grumpy A-hole grumbling and growling.
" Will you just shut up!" I growled back at him. With his distraction, I can't focus on the she-wolf standing in front of me rather she gets stuck with my command.
" Alpha! I don't think it's a good idea." Silas offered his opinion beside me but my head and my eyes are stuck on her and the way her heart is beating so fast.
Turning my eyes toward the men I asked, " What she told, is it true?"
They gulped visibly not meeting my eyes and I got my answer. I clenched my teeth hard at their carelessness.
" Is it true or not?" I pressed again and this time with a warning growl.
" Yes Alpha! The she-wolf said that she came to talk to you and meant no harm." One of the injured soldiers reported shame coating his face.
" Silas! Take them to my office and wait for me." I informed my beta and he took the soldiers with him and left me with the she-wolves.
" You can turn around and tell me why you came here." I didn't want her and her friend to enter my pack.
" Umm, I…I want to talk to you about something." she stuttered, not making any eye contact. How am I going to pull a calm facade when all I want to do is touch her and smell her intoxicating sweet smell?
" I am all ears," I said, waiting for her to talk. Her face morphed from a stuttering mess to a determined one. She took steps toward me and stopped at a safe distance. Another she-wolf is standing behind her with her head bowed down.
" I am Moira and the leader of our pack. She is my friend and advisor Laila." Hearing her name and repeating it inside my head made my wolf happy and he is curious to find out more about her but unfortunately, I can't do that. She still is the enemy and I can't lower my guard.
" I am Alpha….." She cut me off before I can introduce myself.
" I know who you are, Alpha Zayreen." Why am I getting affected by this she-wolf and the way my name sounds on her lips? I nodded my head at her signaling her to continue why she came here.
" My pack went under attack several times and we have lost people too." Her body shuddered and her arms went around her waist hugging herself and giving me a view of her strong thighs. This is not good, I shouldn't look at her like this. I turned my head to the side and cleared my throat.
" What do you mean getting attacked?" My brows dipped in confusion.
" What! You thought rogues are the only ones who can attack the packs but not get attacked!" If a glare can kill I would be under six feet by now and at the same time seeing the anger and fire in her face made me hard in an instant. Wow! I never thought I would be this pervert.
" It's not what I meant, Miss Moira." I pulled a blank face and said it in a formal voice trying to control the desire in my voice.
"You can call me, Moira! Alpha." I do not like her calling me by my title. I want her to call me by my name. I sighed inwardly.
" Okay, Moira! Do you know who is attacking your pack and why do you need my help?" I asked in my business tone with a straight face. I can't be attracted to a rogue when I am loyal to Lena.
" We have been asking for the help of other packs but they weren't even ready to let us inside their pack and you are the only hope for me to save my wolves." Her eyes brimmed with tears and anger and my hands started itching to take her in my arms and soothe her and tell her everything is going to be alright.
My first reaction when I got here and saw her was when I first met Lena but this time it was so intense and my wolf was growling inside me that This she-wolf is my mate because it doesn't make any sense. How can she be my mate when I already had a Mate and lost too?
I clenched my fists tightly not to do something which I will regret.
" What do you need from Me?" I waited for her to ask what she needed from me. If she wants some of my soldiers then I will grant her that.
" I need your protection, Alpha Zayreen. The wolves who were attacking us were so powerful. They are neither rogues nor pack wolves."
" What does that mean?" I drew my eyebrows with confusion. I haven't heard like this before.
" I don't know. When we first got attacked, it was so sudden and in the middle of the night. The wolves were so ferocious like they didn't have any breaks or pause buttons, killing everything and everyone in their way like they were possessed." They seem to like rogues but not exactly.
" Do they all look the same or are there any differences in their forms or something?" I asked, trying to pinpoint who exactly they are.
" Their eyes seem red and black because normal rogue wolves' eyes don't look like that but look normal." rogue or pack wolves everyone's eyes look normal with their normal eye color.
" We are a pack of thirty wolves including children and we have nowhere to go. We can't stay back home because of the back-to-back attacks," Moira whispered brokenly but at the same time, I can see that she wants to take revenge on those who harmed her pack.
She may seem broken and weak right now but I can see a strong and fiercer leader in her. Seeing her like this made my heart squeeze in pain and I don't want to see her in harm's way.
" You both can follow me. I will need to talk to my pack members about the living arrangements." She released a sigh and I know it was a sigh of a burden floating away I need to talk to my pack and let them convince that helping these rogues is the kindest thing we can do as I know Moira is not a backstabber and how I know this is I don't know but I and my wolf agree with the thought and trust it.
