The New World

Five

"It's already starting. Scents are being pulled forward by the new moon. Once the moon reaches its highest peak the wolves will mark their other halves, starting the mate bond and if their mate is human into a wolf." Alpha Kane answers my question. Looking around I notice that some of the wolf borns are scenting the room.

"Are you taking a mate tonight Alpha?" As soon as the question is out of Alley's mouth her eye's bug out. "I'm so sorry Alpha Kane!"

"Please excuse my cousin Alpha. She has this problem of not thinking before she speaks. I blame her hair color." Fuck me. Now it's my turn for bug eyes. "Uh, obviously it is genetic."

To my surprise Alpha Kane lets out a belly laugh. One that gains the attention of not only me but everyone in the room.

"It's fine. Honestly as far as taking a mate, I am waiting to see the outcome of tonight's events. There is always next year. No need to rush."

There is a part of me that thinks he must have a she wolf in mind already, and that makes me incredibly and unjustly disappointed. Then there is the part of me that knows he is just not over losing his mate, and that makes me incredibly sad for my alpha.

The glass roof begins to open, the moon is dead center. All the unmated wolves have their noses raised high into the air and their eyes darting back and forth around the room.

I try to pull Alley a bit closer to me with our linked hands. Just as I'm about to tell her it's okay I am yanked roughly. I try to turn to see who has my body in a vice grip, but teeth pinch my neck.

This so does not feel the way Mrs. White described the mate bite would be like. No this feels like a pitb

NO not a pinch, teeth are ripping my flesh.

ull is locked down on my life force.

"Help." I manage to weakly croak out barely above a whisper, but that springs Alpha Kane into action pulling me from the jaws of the beast.

Alpha Kane takes a protective stance in front of me. Which gives me a view of my attacker ' mate' same difference to me right now at this very moment. What I see has my breath stolen from my lungs.

The man is just as tall as Kane, with just as much muscle mass. His hair is so black it looks blue in the moonlight. He has these rich forest green eyes that if you're not careful, you will get lost in for days. Until I see the hard glare those greens are giving me.

'Why?' I have no idea.

"Give me my mate Kane." The deep growl of his voice has my knees ready to buckle.

" I've never seen a male be so hostile in a mate marking before Blake, maybe you should calm yourself down a bit."

'Blake' testing the name in my head, makes my body shiver.

"Are you even sure she's your mate?"

Mrs.White gently pulls me away from the men and into a huge room filled with suitcases. I spot mine. The enforcer wolves came and got our thing earlier today.

Mrs.White has a wash cloth in hand along with some cooling gel. She starts cleaning the gushing wound on my neck.

"I am so sorry Raven, so very sorry."

"Why? I don't understand."

I really don't. All we have been taught since the day we were born, was that mates are a special and amazing thing to have. That as humans it is something we should all pray to the Moon to have.

"Just remember child forty eight hours, and" Mrs. White gets cut off when the door is slammed open by my mate

"Lets go human." When I don't move his nostrils flare. "Do I have to force you to move?"

Blinking, because what the fuck is going on? Is my last thought before my mates fist connects with my face and my world goes black.
