Rain
I gape at Jacks "ok, I already understand you're a pervert- you couldn't've made it any clearer, but you don't have to use the alpha's orders as an excuse to stare or watch me get dressed, so for the last time GET. LOST." He throws his head back and laughs as if he heard the best joke ever "you're feisty, I like that- alright, I guess I could stand in another spot while you get dressed, but make it quick- we are already on the border between our pack and the other pack's territory" he turns around and starts pacing away. The minute I see him far enough I jump out of the water and bolt towards the thick trees, I hide behind one and quickly get my clothes on, after I'm done, I step back outside of the tree line and look around for Jacks, not that I missed him or anything- but I'd rather know where he is rather than not.
After a few seconds Jacks doesn't show up, so I decide to call it a day and head back to the main house so that I could shower and crash between the covers of the comfortable bed, I walk slowly, enjoying the beauty of nature and the warm breeze, the smell of wild flowers is overwhelming, it reminds me of Zevrus- I wonder where he is now, is he ok? Is he sick? Does he miss me and my goofy persona? I feel like I miss him- and it's strange, because I barely know the guy but I guess it's connected to all the mate bond thing. My thoughts draft to Cedric- this is the first day of the expedition and the sun is already starting to settle, I guess tomorrow will go by in a blur and then Cedric will be back and I won't be alone with Jacks, something about this guy creeps me out.
I hear twigs snap and I stop in my tracks, the warm breeze I felt before disappears and I feel a chill run down my spine, suddenly I feel uneasy, like I'm being watched- for the first time I hope it's just Jacks, but something tells me it isn't him, I close my eyes and try to calm myself down-but then I hear another twig snap and a growl, it is so deep that I feel it vibrating in my chest, it's like you're standing next to a Harley bike. I freeze and swallow loudly as I start to walk slowly forward, one second I'm walking the other I'm shoved into the ground, some dirt gets into my mouth as I gasp in surprise, then I feel a strong hand grab my arm and flip me around as if I'm some steak being flipped on a barbeque, the whole time my eyes were closed, now I open them slowly, only to be met with another pair of huge amber eyes and a long dark snout with sharp bared teeth, a werewolf that I don't recognize it snarls at me and I can't hold back my scream, a werewolf is huge and it has its own dominance and presence and it can cause even the strongest man to burst into tears.
The werewolf's eyes darkened and he opened his mouth to attack, I closed my eyes and turned my head to the side as I whimpered in fear- this is going to hurt. I waited for the pain to strike but nothing happened, suddenly I felt the heaviness of the werewolf's presence disappear.
I opened my eyes to find another werewolf fighting the one who attacked me, their fight was furious and I could hear the flesh being torn by their razor-sharp claws and canines. After what felt like forever the one who attacked me fled away and I was left with the other one who's color was white with strokes of grey. I was sitting down on the ground watching my savior who was facing away from me to the direction where the attacker ran, his chest was heaving while he breathed heavily and there was blood on his hands and all over his neck, it didn't look like it was his blood though. I moved slightly and a rock rolled beside me - the werewolf's ears perked and it whipped its head towards me, I froze in horror when I saw his teeth while his mouth was agape like a dog, he must've realized it because he tilted his head slightly and then closed its mouth, then he stepped closer and I started to crawl back, where the hell was Jacks when I needed help? The werewolf stopped and bent down, he patted the ground twice signaling for me to stay put, just like Zevrus did, I nodded and relaxed while the werewolf retreated to the tree line, I heard the familiar cracking noise and minutes later a guy emerged from behind the trees. He strode towards me completely naked- my poor virgin eyes can't take that much of man-nakedness in such a short time, but it looks like werewolves aren't bothered by it.
I looked at this guy's hair which was blonde, he had facial hair and bright blue eyes, in his wolf form he looked like a husky. My eyes roamed his body and he chuckled, I turned crimson red, did I just ogle the guy while he walked right towards me? Yes, I did.
The guy stepped in front of me and helped me to my feet, he had a warm smile on his face "you alright?" I blinked at him and nodded, he extended his hand and shook mine "I'm Darious, and the idiot that attacked you was a rogue werewolf who was just hungry" my eyes widened and I shuddered under the horrible thought of being ripped to shreds and eaten by a werewolf, I realized that I was still holding Darious's hand so I let go and cleared my throat "hello Darious, thank you for saving me- oh I'm Rain by the way"
Darious put his hands on his hips, his smile never leaving his face "Rain huh? Nice name. Can I ask what's a beautiful human like you doing here? I mean it's fine by me but you almost became dinner" I started to look around, anywhere but him- and I was looking for Jacks who for some reason hasn't shown up yet, did he leave without me? , finally I answered "well, it turns out that I'm a werewolf's mate, but my mate has been missing and the alpha left to find him leaving me here with one of his men'' Darious had a confused expression, he looked towards the tree line and like was thinking about something, then he looked back at me and his smile was gone "you know Rain, if an alpha gives a wolf a task especially while he is away, the wolf should respect the orders and you shouldn't be alone here , because you just crossed into our borders- I was just doing rounds when I spotted the rouge werewolf and found you by chance- can you imagine what could've happened if I hadn't shown up?". I processed his words and nodded, he nodded back and asked "who's your alpha?"
"Alpha Cedric" Darious nodded again "and who's your mate?" I sighed and ran a hand through my hair "his name is Zevrus". All of a sudden Darious's eyes widened and he stilled, his hands fell to his sides and he stared at the ground then he shook his head, I frowned "what? What's wrong?" Darious opened his mouth to answer me when suddenly Jacks' voice came up "Darious if you know what's good for you , you better keep your muzzle shut'' Darious lift his head and sneered at Jacks who emerged from behind the trees, Jacks came to stand right beside me and growled "you should keep your junk in place and your tongue in your mouth, this female belongs to its mate" Darious looked at Jacks with anger "you should tell that to yourself, I can smell your arousal all the way here, hey Rain, watch yourself around this guy, he is known for being an asshole" I gulped and felt uneasy , Jacks snapped his teeth towards Darious "shut up before I tear you limb from limb" then he grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the woods where he came from, I tried to pull my hand free but his grip was like iron , I looked back at Darious who stood there with his hands crossed, he had a deep scowl on his face and he was staring at Jacks, his eyes moved to meet mine then he smiled at me and shouted "nice meeting you Rain, if you need anything you will find me here, just shout my name and I'll be right here" I nodded and smiled back then I continued walking with Jacks back to the pack area.
