Not His [on hold]

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

I could smell an intriguing scent, and something in my heart felt uneasy yet excited. Yet my fear, and my anxiousness shoveled my curious emotions aside.

I followed behind Jones and Dexter, as we started our eerily fast walk towards the heart of the training grounds.

My heart dropped inches every so often as we got closer to the center, we joined the various hoards of men as they all went into the same direction, to the center.

Eventually, my nose was engulfed in the same scent but, stronger. It was a bitter but sweet scent of the musky forest. My nose twitched, as the odd scent made my heart beat a tad bit faster.

'Mate... Ours' The oddly soft voice whispered.

I shivered as a cooling feeling overwhelmed my body and my mind.

I look around, hoping to see others like me.

Confused and afraid.

I saw none.

Leading me to believe I was hearing things that were not there.

How wrong, I was.

"Attention!"

A sharp demanding voice reverberated throughout the land.

My eyes find the man with aflame blue eyes, his rugged appearance making him look wild and untamed.

"I am Beta Neus. As many of you probably know, the Alpha has reason to believe that his mate is within the premises. I would like for you all to form a single line facing me, shoulder to shoulder." He announced aloud.

The men looked at each other before following the beta's request. I followed their action and found a random spot in the line to squeeze into. The men between me glared at me. Shrugging, I stood shoulder to shoulder with them.

And instantaneously the scent I smelled previously became stronger, much much stronger. Closing my eyes, I inhaled deeply, appreciating the scent.

What a lovely scent.

And then my eyes reopened, only to find it locked with a pair of glowing golden eyes.

I felt naked under his eyes.

My hair was short, and my neck was cold. I yearned for my long dark locks to come back to shield me from his eyes.

I could feel his anger, confusion, and sheer disappointment as his eyes met mine.

Mate, mine.

He was mine...

But from the looks he gave me, I certainly wasn't his.

My eyes widened, as I scanned his appearance. Shirtless, covered in dirt, and smelled of the forest after a nice rain. He was handsome, everything a girl could ever dream of in a man. With his dark hair, and his golden eyes, it was hard to resist going up to him and doing ungodly things to the Greek statue in front of me.

How I wanted to run up to him and jump into his arms, but when I saw the glint in his eyes, I saw that he was dissapointed and embarrassed, ashamed. His jaw clenched before he tore his eyes off mine and held his hand up, speaking, "Sorry to have called you out here, I must have been mistaken when I said I smelt my mate. You may all go back to what you were previously doing."

Suddenly very aware of my cover, and his intense eyes staring into my own, I look down to avoid any eye contact. A low growl filled the air, the once loud and obnoxious hoard of men quieted into silence.

"Go, all of you, now!" He commanded, his tone much harsher than his previous one.

Many of the men sighed in relief, and I felt a hand pat my back gently. Turning my head, I see it is Ben. He had a relieved look on his face, "I thought he found out, I thought they had all found out." He admitted.

Putting on a small smile, I shook my head. "I'm a better liar than you think."

"Let's hope we all are, El." He mutters.

"El?" I question, as we walked arm in arm back to the cabins.

"Yeah El for Ellia and Ellion." He said, a lighthearted grin on his face.

As we walked back to the cabins, I could feel a dreadful stare pummeling at my backside. As I turn to catch a glimpse, I see him.

Alpha Vohn Dulvin, my commander, with his confused golden eyes as he stared down at me, his eyes zeroing onto Benjamin's arm that was wrapped in a friendly manner around my neck.

Who was Vohn to me?

More importantly, who was I, to Vohn?
