Back in her room, Clara heaved a sigh of relief.
I thought I'd been busted.
I have to find a way out of this pack as fast as I can. I don't think I can pretend to be Clara for long, she thought as she sat on the bed.
A soft voice suddenly echoed in her mind.
We have to find our mate. I can feel that he is close.
"And who are you?" Clara asked silently.
Your wolf.
But I don't need a wolf.
Really? Too bad. I'm already bound to you, the voice said mockingly.
I'm a vampire.
Hahaha. You're funny. Your wolf and human halves are connected from birth. Our souls are inseparable. If one dies, the other dies too. And your wolf will only awaken fully when you mature. Yet you claim I'm not your wolf?
…Whatever. I have to focus on escaping this pack, Clara muttered.
You can't run, Clara. You're not strong enough.
Yes I can… I can just run as fast as—damn it! she thought, frustrated.
You really can't. You're not a vampire anymore.
But if I shift into a wolf, won't I be able to run faster?
No. You can't shift yet.
Why not?
We're… special. Only when you're marked by your mate can you fully shift.
What? No way. That means if my mate marks me, I won't be able to run away. That reduces my chances of escape.
But I want my mate, the wolf sulked.
I don't care, little wolf.
Hello. I have a name. Aria, said the wolf, cutting off their connection. Clara couldn't communicate with her again.
She stood silently, then left the room.
The pack's territory was surrounded by a dense green forest, and their house wasn't far from its edge. Clara left the house and headed toward the forest. It took a few minutes to reach the tree line.
Inside, the forest was quiet. Birds chirped, leaves rustled. Clara walked deeper and deeper, her steps slow and tiring.
I should go back. If walking this little tires me, how could I possibly run if I'm chased? I need another plan, she thought, cursing herself for her weakness.
Before she could move, a voice called out from a distance.
"Why are you following me? Stalking me again?"
A man appeared, his eyes sharp and angry. Clara froze. He was… handsome. Strong. Dangerous.
Why am I thinking about that now? I need to run. But he looks… intoxicating…
"W-what? No… I'm not following you! I was just walking," Clara stammered, backing up slowly.
"Walking in the forest? Do you think I'm stupid?" he said, stopping a few meters away. He sniffed the air, frowning.
"Can you smell that?" he asked, turning to her.
"Uhh… smell what?"
"That sweet scent," he said, his eyes locking onto hers.
"I… I don't know. Maybe I should just go home," Clara said nervously.
"No. It's coming from you," he said seriously.
What?, me? , i didnt apply any perfume " said clara .
" Why do you smell this good " said the man as he moved toward her and stood few inches from her .
Clara was scared and wanted to run then suddenly she was pulled and pinned on the tree by the stange man ,
Clara could feel electric like current flowing through her from the place this strange man touched, it felt so good that she wanted to cling into him
at the other hand the man also looked shocked and was looking at her with shock , then suddenly his eyes turned deep black all of the sudden .
" Mine " said the man with his deep voice making clara weak in the knees .
" I. ..... you. ..." stutter clara not knowing what to say although. Suddenly, he reached out and pinned her gently against a tree. A strange electric warmth surged through her at his touch. Clara's breath hitched, caught between fear and something else. Although she was pinned by unknown man but she still wanted him to keep holding her and didnt care about the danger at all, but before she could say a thing her mouth was sealed with the strange mans lips and was kissed hard by him, which made her moan in his mouth , she could feel her knee getting weak and suddenly the man put a hand on her butt supporting her weight and without caring clara wounded her arms on the mans neck kissing him back, she could feel her body getting heated and she wanted more, and she could feel the mans hard on, so she started grinding on the man hidden member shamelessly making the man growl a little and started leaving small kisses on her neck , which made clara moaning mess , when the man reached the place where he was supposed to mark her, he started sucking the area hard making clara moan more , and sank his cranial teeth in her skin marking her as his, which made clara moan .
After marking her he started liking the the area he had marked to help her heal fast
clara could feel her body so tired and she could feel her world getting dark and fainted .
The man's eyes returned to deep brown. He held her carefully, muttering a curse under his breath at his wolf instincts for making him lose control.
He carried her at high speed toward the pack hospital. Once inside, he placed her gently on a bed. The doctor immediately attended to her, while the man stood outside, arms crossed, reluctantly waiting for the healer to finish.
