The Fire of his cold Embrace

16/1

*******

A small hut made of palm leaves and bamboo. A balcony surrounded the whole area of the house and three steps stairs were made of wood. Plants on each side, blooming flowers, and hanging plants on the front balcony.

It's a simple home to be called, a home that the lycan is staying.

Chase opens his eyes to a dark surrounding, confused but calm. He tried to get and groan in pain when he feels his body ache. He looks around and takes a deep breath, he remembers how he passed out after the harsh training.

He gently fumbled his shoulder and he felt the thin linen covering his wound but he wonder why he didn't feel pain from it.

The small rays of light that enters the closed window indicate that the moon is shining. He can hear the strong current of water from the falls, and the gust of wind that made the leaves of the trees rustle.

He tried to get up again, ignoring the soreness of his whole body and walks towards the closed door.

He was about to twist the knob but the sudden voice of elder Emil made him stop. The old man is sound annoyed but Chase can tell that he is trying his best to be calm.

"You can't force him, Freya. " Elder Emil said in a low voice.

"He is lycan, he should be with someone equally capable like him. I am an alpha she-wolf, elder Emil, daughter of the head alpha of the great pack. Don't you think it's right for us to unite? We can save the wolf kind together. We don't have to worry about the future of our kind, we will have remnants of the blood of a true lycan. " The voice of a woman that Elder Emil called Freya said in a disrespectful tone.

Chase's ears suddenly tingle in anger, he wanted to snap the woman's head but he choose to keep silent and listen more.

He can hear Elder Emil's deep sigh,

The old man is starting to lose his temper.

"Wolf kind has a fated mate, Freya. And you know that you have one and that's Zorex. What do you think he would feel if you choose to get married to someone you are not fated with? " Elser Emil said that made Chase feel surprised.

He didn't know that it's possible to have a fated one for a wolf kind, someone you can call your own. A person that is prepared for you, a partner that is destined to be with you all through the days of your life.

He was in deep thought but then Freya's voice pull him out from his reverie.

"No, I will reject Zorex. He will accept and understand my intention. I'm doing this for your kind. If I and the lycan unite, we don't need to hide in this mountain anymore. " Freya said seriously.

Elder Emil takes a deep breath,

"Is it really for our kind, Freya? Or there is more to it? Even if I say yes now, I will never force Chase to unite with the pack if he doesn't want to. Don't forget that he is a lycan, he can wipe out the whole pack. I will never let Chase get involved in the scrutiny of this pack. " Elder Emil said in a stern voice.

Chase heard the sound of a squeaking chair as if someone sit on it and a hard slap that landed on someone's face.

"You have no right to say what's best. Your leadership was long gone the moment Azrael died. I'm telling you about my marriage to that lycan not to get your permission but to abide by the plan. I will come back before the full blue moon, that's three days from now. After he shifts into his lycan, the marriage ceremony will begin. " Freya said and left.
