Ethan's pov
As soon as I stepped into the bar the alluring scent of cocoa and honey filled my nostrils. My gaze landed on a beautiful petite woman.
Her soft curly hazelnut hair fell just past her shoulders, bringing focus on her big captivating emerald green eyes that drew me to her, the second I laid eyes on her. She had a perfectly rounded face so full of mystery.
"Mate" my wolf growled in my head shaking my entire world upside down.
"Hey you okay man?" Colton asked
slapping my shoulder.
I snapped out of my trance and cleared my throat.
"I have an headache" I lied.
"I know what will help" Mason my gamma grinned as he quickly strode of toward the bar to order our drinks.
I have a mate? I can't believe this is actually happening? I have a fucking mate and she's human.
This is a bloody joke! I'm the most powerful alpha to ever exist and I have a fragile little human as my mate?
How the fuck do I even reject her?
Reject? Saying it leaves a dull ache in my chest.
How could I even go along with it? When she's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. She's so tiny and fragile that I have this sudden urge to protect her and keep her safe and hidden from the rest of the world.
Colton and I settled down on the booth across from hers. I've noticed since the time I entered she's been staring at the glass contemplating whether or not to consume the alcohol.
A moment later Mason shows up with our drinks.
I grabbed the full bottle of bourbon, flipping the cap off and chugg the alcohol down my throat.
When I heard a small gasp coming from her, I pulled the bottle away from my lips and placed it on the table.
She quickly looks away tucking her hair behind her ear.
I notice a small blush crept on her cheek.
I let out a sigh, a smile playing on my lips. I turn my attention on my friends wandering what's gotten them so quiet.
The smile on my lips immediately turns into a scowl. It seemed they were all observing my movements.
"What the fuck are you clowns looking at?" I growled.
They visibly gulped except for Colton he had a wide grin plastered on his face.
"Are you going to pretend as if we never saw you eyeing her since we got in here?"
"So what if I was?" I grumbled.
"She's human" Mason mumbled staring at her. I clenched my fists and let out a low warning growl. I didn't like the way he was looking at her. She's mine and nobody touches or so much as dare to even look her way.
"Sorry alpha" He muttered bowing his head.
"Hey beautiful what are you doing here all by yourself?" A drunk blonde guy Slurred as he sat besides my mate draping his arm across her shoulder.
My wolf seethed watching another man touch what's ours. He wanted to be let out and rip him apart.
As much as I'd love to let him out and tear this bastard to shreds I have to gain control over him.
If she sees us for what we truly are I'm not sure how she might react after all she's human.
I squeezed the glass in my hand as I watch him with a predatory gaze.
The glass shatteres in my palm suddenly the entire bar goes quiet focusing their attention on me.
Her emerald green eyes widen, a small gasp escaping her lips.
I stood up ignoring the shards of glass sticking out from my palm and the blood running down my hand. I know I'd heal in less than a minute.
I stood in front of her table my heated gaze locked on the drunk man.
"Do you need something?" The man sneered which only infuriated me more.
"Let go off her!" I demanded.
"Or what? What are you going to do?" He challenged.
A wicked grin plastered my lips. I yanked him by his hair and slammed his head onto the table.
She let out a small whimper and jumped out from her seat trembling in fear.
I can't let her see this side of me if she does, she will definitely run for the hills and I will never see her again. I need to control myself.
I slowly let go of him knowing this isn't yet over.
Mason and Andrew, my delta and Gamma roughly picked the man from the ground and takes him outside. They know what to do, I've already sent them a mindlink to keep him in the cells and once
I'm done wooing my mate I'll deal with him.
Keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't leave! I instructed Colton in the mindlink.
Freya's pov
I stood frozen taking in what just happened. My body trembled with fear as my heart couldn't stop racing.
A man was nearly going to be killed and everyone around here acted as if it was normal.
"Hi there," A tall guy with muscular arms, short dark hair and hazel brown eyes greeted me with a small smile.
"Hi,"I greeted back nervously grabbing my purse from my bag to pay for the drink which I ordered.
I need to get out of this weird place. I thought.
"I apologize for what you just saw not long ago. The guy who was harassing you is a criminal"
"But that's no way to treat someone. He could've died," I said.
"And what about those poor and defenseless woman he brutally raped and murdered? Did they deserve to be treated in such a savage way?" He shot back.
My eyes widened, my stomach churned.
"Oh my god!" I gasped. "I had no idea. Then I guess he deserved to be treated in a such a way. I can't imagine what those poor woman went through."
"Yes. we've been looking for him until we tracked him down in here"
"Well I'm glad you did. I would have probably been his next victim if your friend hadn't intervened."
"Anyway," I said as I threw the twenty dollar bill on the table.
"I have to get going, it's getting late."
"Going so soon?" A sultry voice asked.
I turned around bumping into a hard chest. I stared up to see my savior smiling down at me.
