My Alpha Mate

Father

I see my father let out a sigh. His eyes are
glowing with pure pride, though. Nothing else
but love and pride. He hasn't seen me in wolf
form for a very long time. He must have feared
I forgot everything he and Mother taught me.
But I haven't. I never will. And in this moment, I
realize, I never want to, either.
Darius' wolf lets go off me and he leads me
into the woods nearby. As he is my Alpha now, I
unwillingly obey.
When we are gone from other people's view, he
shifts into his human form and commands me
to do the same.
He glances at his wounded shoulder and
smirks in amusement. "Lila," he says slowly, as
if testing the sound of it.
To me, this name from his mouth suddenly
sounds like my favorite melody.
"Is that your name, little wolf?" he takes a few
steps toward me to close the big gap between
us.
I take rugged breaths, trying to cover my naked
body parts with my wounded hands.
