Aaron POV
"Mate!" He uttered again and began running towards the scent.
I was still dumbfounded from all of this. How can I possible have a mate? I had given up, completely shutting myself from all this idea of a mate thing, but now?
"Maybe you are wrong, Ralph." I stated.
"Don't antagonize me, Aaron." He replied angrily and I was speechless. This was the first time Ralph had spoken to me in such tone.
I decided to keep quiet and kept running until the scent was becoming stronger, but there was another scent available.
"She is not alone," I said, feeling agitated.
What was she doing in this forest?
I heard a scream and Ralph increased our speed. After running about ten minutes, we finally arrived.
There she was.
Our beautiful mate, in the hands of these fucking blood-sucking bastards. We were going to kill them, especially the one who was about to rape our mate.
"Did he really say he doesn't want trouble?"
Ralph laughed angrily.
I saw our mate began to dress up when all the men's focus was momentarily on us. I didn't miss the bruises on her back when she was dressing and my heart broke into pieces.
She was about to run when her hand was yanked back by that stupid bastard and she hit the ground hard. Blood started oozing from her forehead.
Ralph was losing control now. There were two stages when it came to changing into our lycan. The first stage was when we shifted into a werewolf. That was when I tap into half of my lycan power and we have always maintained that since our first shift. The second stage was when Ralph fully takes control and we become twice the size of an Alpha wolf.
I have only shifted into a lycan the first time I got him and since then, I have never had reason for him to fully come out and people would freak out if they knew I existed. But these bastards were really testing my patience.
"You have to control yourself, Ralph!" I shouted at him but that all went out to the back of the mind when we saw the man put his lips on our mate.
Ralph let out the most vicious, loudest growl as he began to take over. There was nothing more I could do as he shut me to the back of the mind.
I looked at our mate and she was just staring at us with those gorgeous baby blue eyes, that showed no fear.
Perhaps she recognised us, I thought inwardly.
We began to walk towards them and the man who was on top her earlier super sped and put his hands on our mate's neck.
'Stop! Or I swear I will snap her neck right now.' He demanded and I saw him tighten his hands around her neck. She hissed in pain and I let out a curse.
We immediately stopped.
'Yea, that's right. We know about tour stupid law not to harm the humans.' The man holding my mate said.
"I'm going to kill him!" I heard Ralph speak in my mind.
"One wrong and our mate is gone, buddy." I said to him, hoping he would listen.
"He's bluffing." I slapped my head mentally.
What was I expecting anyway?
'What the hell are you?' The other man asked and that was the go ahead Ralph was waiting for. These bastards were scared shitless of us.
We began to walk towards them. I saw our mate bite the hand of the man that was holding her. I couldn't help but be proud of her.
Looks like we got ourselves a brave one, I thought to myself.
Ralph snapped when we saw our mate thrown away like a piece of paper, hitting a tree. I didn't really blame Ralph for what happened next because I would have done the exact same thing.
We killed all the man but that still didn't feel enough. We only felt satisfied when we ripped their heads off and their hearts out.
We walked towards our mate. She was lying on the ground, groaning in pain. I picked her delicate body into my arms and shivers immediately spread through my body.
She slowly opened my eyes and met Ralph's black ones. My heart began to beat faster. What if she gets scared of us?
I saw her raising her hand and touched our face. Ralph purred at the soft touch of her hand. The murderous aura suddenly disappeared and we felt calm.
I was a little surprised because the last time Ralph took over, it took almost three hours for me to regain control but our mate did that with just a simple touch.
She smiled at us before whispering, 'My Saviour', then she went unconscious.
I slowly shifted back into human, with her still in my arms. I took this time to fully observe her.
Her body felt right in my arms. Her legs and arms were covered in bruises. I swallowed my pain and my eyes went to her face, also covered in bruises. My eyes went to her full lips. The upper one was cut but that didn't stop me from wanting to kiss her. I went to her neck and inhaled her scent. Ralph began fidgeting in my head.
"Calm down, will you?"
"I want to mark her." He said and I began to feel my canines enlong.
"We cant! She is hurt." Ralph became calm. Atleast he listened to me this time.
"Can you see that?" Ralph asked. "Look at her."
I looked at our mate and gasped in shock after a little while.
'She is not human.' I said, particularly to no one. I stared back at her and saw her colour. It was red. I have never met anyone with red before.
"How come I didn't notice this before?"
"Well, probably because you were thinking of putting your tongue in her mouth." I rolled my eyes at Ralph's remark.
"We have to go." Ralph said and I heard a few faint voices.
"They are from the pack." Even though everyone was at the celebration, there was always some guards assigned patrol around the territory for safety.
After inhaling our mate's scent one more time, I carefully placed her on the ground and put my shirt on her.
'We will meet soon, my Queen.' I kissed her forehead before shifting into my wolf and sprinted back home.
