Synopsis

Chapter 1 - chapter 1

I stood motionless, bearing witness to the grotesque scene in front of me, the wolves of the blood fang pack were being overwhelmed, killed effortlessly by the wolves of the azure moon pack, by now the only members of the blood fang pack who were left alive were me and the alpha of the pack, Leo.. the bastard who killed my brother.

"This is my chance." I muttered under my breath " I can definitely pull this off, I'll just stab him in the heart while he's occupied with the betas, I don't care if I die afterwards, I'm definitely doing it."

Cautiously observing the scene in front of me I drew closer taking slow steps to the alpha who was currently battling twelve beta wolves.

They all pounced on the alpha, biting and clawing at him with malicious glints in their eyes but the damned alpha wasn't backing off. He clawed and bit down on a single beta wolf separating it's head from it's body in a quick motion of his head.

Leo's wolf form was nothing to scoff at, he was huge... Much so that he was easily the size of a small house. His wolf aspect had something to do with their physique and physical prowess. Still I didn't let his form intimidate me.

How could I? I'd long gone insane, I became insane the moment my brother died, my brother who died fighting to protect me even though he was just seventeen..

He challenged the damned alpha who had been planning to use me as one of his playthings and he died because of that. If my brother managed to leave a scar on his face despite being a half-blood then why couldn't I kill him in the state he was?..

I had to kill him I definitely had to kill him, no one understands the way I feel inside, I couldn't just let him die to some other stranger I had to kill him before that happened...

Before I could take another step forward, a dark silhouette whooshed past me, it's speed was frightening as the only thing I could see was a blur of it's appearance.

In the next second a line of red obstructed my sight accompanied by a loud thud to the ground.

Dust and smoke filled the air and my vision was completely cut off, for a second I felt fear as I saw several dark Silhouette of wolf structures morphing back into humans.

I couldn't help but shudder, my legs were rooted to the ground and I was trembling like a cat who just gotten out from a cold bath.

' W–What's... What's this? that bastard Leo is right in front of me, he should be weakened, this is my only chance to act but.. but I can't move.. I'm scared? Am I...scared? '

" Don't give me that bullshit, I'll kill that bastard with my own hands, I'll kill him."

I said through clenched teeth as my wrath momentarily overwhelmed my fear, dashing forward just in time for the sand screen to dissipate, a shudder ran through my body and the blood on my face drained as I gazed at the scene in front of me.

There were several males and females all naked and gruesomely wounded, and amidst them a gorgeous man stood, his raven hair as dark as the night itself complemented nicely with his mesmerising azure eyes, his lean athletic build and perfectly chiseled muscles made me gulp as I gazed at his flawless alabaster skin, he looked like a statue crafted out of porcelain, made with a lot of care and perfection, not to mention his face, in addition to his azure eyes he had a sharp jaw line, soft peach coloured lips and a small dotted birthmark located underneath the left side of his lip.

I would have been busy admiring this perfection of a man if I wasn't occupied by something else.

Within the grip of the handsome stranger who had only his trousers on, the head of a huge wolf nestled in his hands as he held the ruff of the wolf.

A long scar on the right side of the wolf's face, something I was all too familiar with, after all.. my brother had gracefully gifted that bastard that ugly scar before he died, there was no doubt about it, the dead wolf whose head the stranger was holding was without doubt leo's.

I froze there completely, my mind was a mess unable to process what I had just seen and an array of emotions overwhelmed me. Guilt, regret, sorrow, anger.

The handsome stranger noticed me, his azure eyes glistening with a mischievous intent.

" Ah, there you are little pup." He said with a mischievous smile, his baritone voice pierced the silence making me weak in the kneels.

I might have given in to his allure had I not been experiencing something devastating at this very moment.

Every part of me wanted him, the scent of snowdrops assaulted my senses, his fragrance made me want to bury my head in his chest, I wanted nothing more than to be embraced by him at this moment but I couldn't, the bastard had stolen my prey, I had waited for this moment for days only for the murderer of my brother to die by the hands of another.

" Why... Why did you do it?." I asked, my voice raspy from the last few days I'd yelled my heart out.

The stranger had a confused look on his face, he lingered for a moment then asked.

" What do you mean little pup?"

My anger got the better of me as i flared, raising my voice at the strange man.

" I ASKED WHY YOU KILLED HIM, YOU BLOODY BASTARD!!! ....d..do you know how much I've suffered because of him? For all the pain he caused me.. it's only fair that I get to kill him, but you... You.. hic.. hic, damnit.. h..hic.. damn you!!"

I couldn't stop the tears from falling, the small knife I had in my possession had fallen somewhere behind me else I'd have tried to stab him for killing my prey, I repeatedly banged my fist on his chest in anger but the stranger merely smiled.

"Why did I kill him? Hmmm let's see, because I wanted to? Do I really need to give you an answer?."

I glared at him in disdain, all the hate I had in me had no one to be directed at so I decided to hate the stranger with everything I had, he'd stolen my revenge from me so he had to bear the brunt of my hate.

Maybe it was because I had gone insane or maybe I didn't just care anymore, but I had momentarily forgotten that I was in the presence of an enemy.

' he's probably going to kill me soon, might as well hurry the hell up, I'm tired... So tired, I just want to rest now.'

My actions seemed to only excite the stranger more as he gave a playful smirk.

" Haha.. ~my.. my, that's some serious look you've got there, if looks could kill I'm sure I'd be nothing more than a corpse by now."

He said, gazing into my eyes with those azure eyes of his, sending my heart into a wide state of excitement. For a moment I got lost in them unable to look away.

Eventually I forced myself to look away, breaking the awkward moment between us, lowering my head I gazed at the soil beneath my feet.

"..kill me." I muttered in a voice that was barely audible.

The stranger look completely stunned he arched a brow and looked at me like I was crazy, then he asked.

" Kill you? And why would I do that?."

" Don't play dumb with me, just kill me already, we're enemies and there's no need for you to keep me alive, so go ahead and kill me." I retorted, with a tired look on my face.

I was so sick and tired of everything, my life had no purpose anymore. But if I had my chances I'd love to slice off the gorgeous head of the stranger off his body, who knows.. maybe I'll feel relieved then.

He placed one of his hands around my waist and the other, he used to lift my chin, my eyes were once again locked on those beautiful azure eyes of his as he started at me intently.

" No reason to keep you alive? I have every reason to keep you alive, you're my mate after all."

My body jerked up at the mention of the word mate, I'd sworn not to let my fate be decided by some non existent goddess and here I was, staring straight in the eyes of my mate, I was so lost in the moment that I didn't even realize how close his face had gotten to mine, our noses were just a few inches away from each other and my body was pressed on his bare skin.

The next second out lips touched, as he claimed mine, his tongue passionately exploring every inch of mouth, my eyes widened in suprise and my legs gave out.

He pulled me closer to himself, supporting my body and preventing me from falling, my body shuddered in pleasure as his scent assaulted my senses, rendering me completely unable to resist his kiss, I followed suite, returning the kiss.

His brow shot up in suprise at my action but he continued, caressing my tongue with his and sending me into a state of euphoria.

A few minutes later he broke the kiss and I almost let out a soft whimper, missing the warmth of our bodies touching each other and the feel of his tongue against mine.

panting rapidly, my heart was beating wildly, that was my first kiss and a bastard who I didn't even know his name took it... Gorgeous as he may be, this was not how I had expected my first kiss to go.

The bastard was staring at me with a smug look on his face, licking his lips like he had just tasted something sweet.

I opened my mouth to curse at him but his words cut me off as he addressed his pack members, who had been watching us silently but not interfering.

" let's go... Our work here is done, and we seem to have gotten a price for our victory." He announced, staring at me like some sort of trophy.

It took only but a moment for me to register the words he'd spoken, my face turned a shade of red and I'm sure I had a bulging vein to go along with it as I clenched my teeth.

' this bastard.. who the hell does he think he is.. how dare he address me like some item.'

" What price, I'm not going anywhere you'd have to drag my dead body if you want me to follow you." I said angrily, turning around to walk away but he grabbed my hands.

With a threatening growl he warned.

" You have no say in this pup, if you try to escape me then you'll be punished, I'll never leave you alone, not in this life nor the next."

His attitude was completely different from earlier, his carefree attitude was no where to be seen.

I winced in pain as his grip on me tightened, he leaned closer, his voice gruff.

"Do you understand pup?"

A scowl found its way to my face as I retorted.

" Fuck you!!."

He frowned, then lessened his grip when he noticed he was hurting me, he didn't let go.. instead he started dragging me towards the other members of the pack.

A silver glint caught my attention, not much distance away from me was my hunting knife which I had accidentally dropped when Leo was killed.

An absurd idea registered in my mind as I glanced at the knife.

' well here goes nothing.'
