BLADE

I have yet to see my mate since she declared she is afraid I will kill her, that was three days ago now. I have been informed by my beta that his mate, has been trying to lure her out. Nothing has worked as of yet, but I am not going to feed into her childish ways. If she wants to eat then let her eat, but she wants to fight back and starve then be my guest. I'm sat in my private office, hidden away on the ground floor of the pack house. My desk is piled with paperwork that needs to be completed, reviewed, and signed by the end of the week. I pinch the bridge of my nose and allow myself a moment to breathe. Today is Thursday which means I have three days to complete all this work without distraction. But I knew better than to allow myself to believe such lie, when I know my beautiful and stubborn mate is killing herself with hunger just a floor above me.

I never expected to meet my mate this late, I had thought the moon goddess was already cruel enough to take my parents away and she enjoys dancing in my tears and pain by refusing me of a mate. Clearly, she punishes me by giving me mate so fiery and disobedient. I stand up and walk out of the office and fetch myself a cup of coffee, I need to alleviate this pounding headache. I have not slept properly since she came hurling into my life, my wolf refuses to put at bay knowing his mate is merely meters away in pain because of me. Instead of sleep finding me in the night, my wolf runs the territory until early in the morning.

Like today, nothing is different. I ran until my wolf is exhausted and I found myself in the office trying to clear my own head. Glancing up at the clock it shows it's only 5:30am and within the next hour the packhouse will be buzzing in workload. I fill the kettle with water and turn it on, waiting for it boil and for the scent of ground coffee to greet my nose good morning. I've always sufferred intense headaches whenever I am stressed and the only remedy that has worked is coffee and as much as I dont want to stay up due to the caffeine, I have no intentions to suffer through this headache. I rest my palms on the edge of the counter, my body slouch and head down finding a minute of peace on my own. Or so I thought.

My head turns so fast to the right after hearing a certain she wolf exhale so loudly. Within a second, I spot her deep in her sleep on her side laying down on the coach facing directly in front of the window. I turn off the kettle before it boils and creates a loud ringing sound. I don't want to ruin her rest and ruin my chances seeing her up close without anger in her eyes.

I move closer to her and take a seat right in front of her. I rest my elbows on my knees and lean forward, I allow my wolf to inhale her intoxicating sweet scent of peaches. Maine is trouble wrapped up in the most beautiful wrapping paper and my hands are itching to unravel her. Her beauty is not ordinary, it's rare. Her skin is perfectly kissed by sun, her eyes are the most enchanting set of light brown I have ever seen, her cheeks look to enticingly kissable and her lips so seductively full. Her dark black hair just touches the middle of her back, and I would do anything to run my hands through it and let her worries disappear. But how can I be the one to take away the pain when it is me who caused it.

I remember seeing her for the first time when I was just a boy with a sword, and she was girl with a stupid blanket.

"Blade stay close, I just need to go in a meeting with the eastern alpha. You can stay over there for now" dad points to a couch decorated with pillows covered in different kind of flowers. I feel dad kiss the top of my head and he nudges me forward, making sure I follow his orders. I take a sit and place the best and sharpest sword ever on my lap, I need to be ready just in case someone hurts me or dad. I am so focused on wanting to protect dad and myself that I almost completely miss a girl covering herself in an awful bright pink blanket with heart all over it darting straight to the back of the coach I'm sitting on.
