Chapter 104
RAMON’S POV
I walked in on Lorena assaulting Sonia again, and truly lost it this time.
I knew I was meant to be backing her up, seeing she was inflicting pain on Sonia. But the girl had been very resourceful in the last two days.
There was nothing wrong with setting aside our differences, and giving credit where it was due.
As I stormed forward. I had i
had just one goal in mind. To yank Lorena’s hands off Sonia’s body.
But when I arrived in their midst, it was Sonia my hand gravitated to
I picked her up from the ground, and pulled her away
Lorena couldn’t say a word. I had warned her that one more loud mouth, and she wouldn’t like my reaction.
I didn’t stop with Sonia until we were down by the river.
There, I let her go
“Why can’t you fight back?! I raised my voice at her.
She flinched, and my guilty conscience flared.
I shouldn’t have raised my voice at her. I was doing the same thing Lorena did, but in a different way.
“I didn’t mean to s scream,” I said, after a
an uncomfortable stretch of silence.
She didn’t say anything to me. Didn’t so much as respond. She only dropped to the ground, and sat with her back against a tree.
We both remained silent as in real time, we watched the last breath of light, fade into darkness.
I regarded her with my alpha lens. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t done that before.
She had a special light wrapped around her. It wasn’t like something I had ever witnessed before.
I constantly asked myself who she was. And why she had to possess such special attributes.
She lifted her head and caught me staring
“The full moon is going to be in three days,” she said.
Her voice did not carry any weight. It was airy, and light. Almost breathless even.

“How do you know that? Can you sense it too?” I asked.
“I used to be able to guess back in my pack. But now, I measure it from how hot and restless my wolf is.”
“Is that all there is?” I asked, with a mischievous intent at heart.
“What else?” she replied innocently.
“Do you know what happens when one has a mate during
the fu
full moon?” I pushed, just to see how far her ignorance ran
I’ve read a few books. They said all sorts.”
“And have you experienced any of those sorts?” I pressed.
Ahlush formed on her face, and the lowered her head
I almost felt pity for her. She was in a strange land, with a mate who didn’t exactly want her.

Chapter 104
It was soon to be a full moon. Which meant she was more aroused than usual.
Her body would be begging for her mate to consume her, and make their bond official
But I couldn’t do it. I knew if I went all the way with her, that was the end. I would have to keep her.
“I don’t know,” she finally replied.
“Oh sure you do. But you have a mate who is not exactly interested, so you’re trying to suppress your desires. I’m sure that at the clinic. You’re consumed by it”
“How do you know I love working at the packs clinic?” She shyly raised her head to face me.
“It’s in your eyes. There’s a sparkle in your eyes. Everytime you save a life, it shinest
So you believe I’m a healer now?” She asked, taking me by surprise.
“What does my belief change! It’s not like you care about my opinion. I wouldn’t care about the opinion of my captor
why you love working
“Yeah, but you’re my mate. And like we’ve established, the full moon is coming. A book said during this time, your desire is ruled by the need to please your mate. How’s that affecting me, when we’ve not even had the mute dance that seals our bond?”
I couldn’t help but chuckle. Those books she was reading may be more insightful than I initially gave them credit for
“Your smile is beautiful. You should smile more”

Π.Ε.
The quiet girl I took from her father’s pack was opening up more. I didn’t know if it was something I should be thankful for.
“You do know I’m not going to stop seeking revenge on your father, right?”
“I know,” she nodded. “Talso know I’ll always be collateral. Believe it or not, I’m beginning to accept all of what life decides to throw my
“But you also believe your father will win the war, and come save you?” I asked with a heaviness in my heart.
Where, and when that feeling crept up in me, I wasn’t so sure. I just knew thinking about her leaving my pack, made me not as excited as I thought I’d be.
“I can only dream. I want to be free from oppression.”

“But you just said you’re embracing everything life throws your way.”
She looked to be in deep thought for a few seconds, before her eyes suddenly bulged
“I meant it this way. The direction of my life is currently in your hands. If you decide to kill me today, a war may break after the deed is done, but Il not be there to witness it. If I can’t change your mind, why dwell in worry? The only thing I can do is find inherent happiness, so even when it -hurts, the hurt won’t consume me
much wisdom in the head of someone so yo
so young
You could tell she read a lot too. She was just a different breed.
Understandable, in all honesty. Her father might be a grotesque gremlin, but he was an intelligent she was also very intelligent
“Can I kiss you?” She asked, and it was as if time stopped.

I get weak from healing the wolves, and you kiss me, I regain my lost strength. And I need a lot
“Yeal I know it’s totally wrong to ask. But every time I get of strength for turi—”
I didn’t wait for her to finish. Besides I wasn’t shocked she asked for a kiss, I was only shocked she asked before I could steal one.
