Diana Marchand's POV

"What do you want?" I asked him before he was regarding me. It sent chills to my body. He shrugged before he was staring out in the darkness.

"You shouldn't be out in the open after dark. It was not safe for you to be out here in the open," he said as he turned to look at me. I was gulping, not because I was afraid, but his eyes were gleaming under the moonlight with his fair hair was shining. I wanted to run my fingers through it.

"I can take care of myself, thank you very much," I said as I was starting to walk again. He blocked my walk as he was standing in front of me.

"Please get out of the way," I said kindly as he was tilting his head.

"If you claimed that you can take care of yourself, I want you to get me out of your way," he said as he was smirking at me. I glared at him.

"That's not fair. You're the trainer of the pack warriors. I am not even at a high level to take you down, let alone move you out of my way," I whined as he shrugged at my concern.

"Come on, Diana, you either move me or I will carry you home like a sack of potatoes," he said as he was gleaming at me. I gritted my teeth.

"How dare you!" I hissed at him before he smirked.

"Fight me and show me that you can take care of yourself," he said and before I knew it, I was punching him as I was kicking his legs off the ground before he can blink. He did not land on his butt as I predicted but he just flipped back on his hands and he stood in front of me, smirking.

I went to attack him, everything that I know was what my father trained me to be. He was a Beta so he had some more experience in the training. I was kicking him as he blocked my advances. He's a Gamma, of course, he can take on me easily.

But I will not go down without a fight.

I gritted my teeth before I went to throttle his neck. He welcomed but I smirked. I have another thing on my mind. I went to grab his neck with my hands before I slung my feet around his shoulder and wrapped it around his neck before I flew myself to the ground. He came down crashing on me as I was gripping his arm on the side.

"Who's having the last smirk now?" I asked him as I was gripping his hand even more. He groaned before he chuckled.

"I am," he replied before he was breaking my legs hold and pushed me to the ground as he was grabbing my hands on top of my head. I jerked before I gasped as I was looking at his green orbs that were gleaming with mischief and something else.

Something dark.

"Okay, I think I prove that I can take you by surprise, Gamma. Don't I deserve some claps in my back that I can even surprise you?" I asked him as he was looking at me under his stare. It was unsettling but everything about this man was unsettling.

"Is that what you think?" He asked me as I was looking into his eyes. His wolf was trying to control him before he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

'Take him,'

'Claim him,'

'Kiss him,'

"If I was to let you go, what will I get in return?" He asked me as he was looking at me again. My wolf purred as he was staring at us and I can sense that some heat was pooling in my stomach.

'Kiss him, take him, claim him…' my wolf whispered to me before I gulped. I don't know what I want to do but I spoke the words before I can think about it.

"I let you kiss me," I said bluntly before I was staring at his handsome face. He arched his eyebrow as I know he might not consider that as an option for me to escape him but my wolf was so annoying that I just let her speak for once.

"Well?" I asked him after silence fell between us. I was still on the ground and the leaves were annoying on my back right now. I was just wearing a tank top and legging in the chilly night. I think Arthur loves to rub my arms whenever he can to feel my skin.

"Now that's what I call a good bargain," he said before he dipped his head and took my mouth with his.

To tell him that he was a good kisser was an average. I mean, he was a great kisser. He was playing with my lips when I was reluctant to react to his kiss but when he was tilting my head with his hand on my chin, I felt the kiss deepened.

He was caressing my lips with his tongue was licking on my lower lips. I cannot think as the heat from that simple touch was firing an inferno in my stomach. I moaned before I was wiggling my hands under his. He released me and I snaked my hands around his neck, pulling him closer.

He groaned before he was positioning himself right on the spot that I was aching between my legs. I was pushing him to be on that spot before pleasure was hitting my body. I groaned before he was plunging his tongue inside me. His hands were caressing my body before he was playing with my nipples. It hardened instantly and I can feel that I was whimpering under his touch.

With that, he broke the kiss and went up on to his feet.

He was breathing heavily as I was still on the ground, looking at him with my eyes. He was closing his eyes before he turned away from me.

"Go home, Diana. And remember, you have a meeting with me on the training ground at 8 AM sharp." And with that, he went out of the woods as I was sitting on my elbows before his retreating silhouette was gone from my sight.

So much for my mate to care about me.

Arthur Adamos' POV

I was running on my four as I was making my patrol around the territory. I did not know what possessed me to kiss her but to deepen the kiss? That was not my plan after all. I was just trying to make her moan but instead, I was getting a hard-on.

I don't know what was wrong with me.

Was this the feeling that people have with real mates? Was this the attraction that my father felt his real mate while my mother was waiting for him in Turkey. I shook my head as I was trying to erase that memory.

That was a long ago. I cannot think of anything but I think if my calculation was correct, which they were, my half-brother was supposed to be 21 this year, according to my mother. I was 4 years old when my father came back to the island.

I was stopping to see the packhouse was in the distance before I shifted and I went to the change room that has a pair of black pants. I took it and put it on before I walked inside the packhouse.

Everyone was getting ready for bed before I went to the infirmary and looked at Sebastian, our Ultima. If I don't know any better, they said that Sebastian has the power to change a human into werewolves. But I don't think Caleb will want that.

"How is he?" I asked as I was looking at the man who was still unconscious. Sebastian shrugged.

"He's been in and out but I did get his name,"
