Alpha Wolf - Mate Mine

Chapter 73 ~ The Chase Part 2

The growl of pleasure and possessiveness that came from him almost made her regret the next move. The look of adoration he sent her, the one that confirmed that she was the only one for him, the only one he ever longed, it melted all her internal organs.

With one last glance, full of fondness, Titilas rushed away like fireball... A purely predatorial roar came from behind her.

Craken was angry.

'Why did you have to bite him again?' Elena asked exasperated.

'To show him who's the Alpha. Now you take care of them.' Having said that, Titilas shifted, giving the power back to a stunned Elena.

Naked in the darkening woods, she looked around frenetically, hearing the furious mate charging towards her from behind the trees.

'Seriously?! You leave me like this?!'

In a last attempt of saving her pride, Elena climbed a nearby tree. Not as fast as she should have, since climbing trees was not her forte.

#Start of Elena POV#

I only stopped climbing when the ground was a good distance away from me, and perched on one of the first branches I reached. As I had mentioned, climbing was not my strength.

I had reported bruises and scratches but thanks to the adrenaline flowing in my veins I ignored them.

My breaths were short and fast as I looked around, wary. I felt that he would pop out of nowhere and launch towards my throat, to mark me.

Fortunately, Craken could neither climb trees nor fly ... at least as far as I knew.

By the time a dark shadow reached the bottom of my tree, his eyes were already fixed on me, as if he already knew I was right there.

Craken curled his mouth and showed me his fangs, in what might have been a wolfish smile and then shook his head, like I was the funniest thing in the world.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he lay down, and rested his head between his front legs, continuing to stare at me with affection that I did not deserve.

Suddenly, he frowned, growled at no one in particular, and all his fur stood up. He seemed bothered by something ... or someone.

With hazy eyes, he looked like he was conversing with... well, Mirko.

Apparently Mirko didn't want to sit there and wait.

And the battle between wolf and man was won by the hothead.

"Hello mate" Mirko said after he shifted back. His eyes were still black with those thunderous blue lines and his hair electrified ... like a wolf with its fur standing on end.

The playful smile on his face did not match the predatory glint. It was scary. He was scary.

I growled at him, making him laugh.

'Damn mate with that damned husky voice' I was annoyed that he reached me so easily. I was an Alpha blood! He didn't even look tired and all of my techniques to deflect or slow him down just seemed to have entertained him.

"Glad to be your source of fun" I said sarcastically, trying to hide the fear of falling from the tree. Mirko's huge ego didn't need it. I was an Alpha female, perfectly capable of hanging from a tree. 'Keep telling yourself and I'll believe it.' my treacherous wolf whispered.

"Did you really think you would outrun me?" His voice was such a deep rumble that the hair on the back of my neck stood on end.

"Give into it, Elena. You have proven your point, whatever it was." He taunted.
