Alpha Jordans pov

After i had overcome my initial shock i took off chasing after her. And Just as i reached the woods, I shifted into my wolf. Overcome by the need to find my mate.

I was angered that she took off over a misunderstanding.

but can you blame her? my wolf taunted.

He was starting to become a real pain in my butt.

Really, only now?

ow! how, I wish my beast had a permanent mute button!

fat chance, find Y mate!

I slowed down, sniffing the air to try and get a trace of my mates delectable scent.

she is close

I tracked her deep into the woods.

she must've gotten lost.

No shit sherlock! I retorted back

I hurried my pace, the route she was taking would lead her to a secret lake, that not many people knew about. Not even my pack.

I usually went there to be alone, to get lost in my thoughts. To be free, to let myself vent if there is a need. so you could say it's my sanctuary.

Once I reached the secret clearing, my heart was clenching inside my chest at the sight before me. This pain closely resembled, the disease humans call a heart attack.

seeing her on her knees, crying her lungs out brought me great pain. I felt as though her pain was mine, this made me desperately want to protect her.

to keep her in a tower, never to hurt again.

but you are the reason she is like this! my wolf growled, completely angered.

And for once I didn't argue.

She deserves someone better, someone sweet and caring. Someone handsome and loving.

And that wasn't me, that could never be me.

I was imperfect, I was ugly and harsh. how could God have paired someone like me to someone like her...

Cause regardless of what species she is, she is perfect...

I could only taint her.

how could she ever love an ugly beast like me...

All I have are scars

scars not just on my face and some parts of my body. but also those that don't leave a mark caused by a dark past. One i'm not proud of.

My wolf whimpered, causing our mate to turn towards us.

And all hell broke loose...

Sandy's pov

I hate showing any signs of weakness but after he growled at me. I just snapped, I couldn't face anymore of his disapproval, regarding my presence in his home.

So i ran. ran right into the woods, I ducked and skipped over any and all obstacles in my path.

I ran into the middle of nowhere. only when I realised this did I slow my pace, until I came across this little haven.

From then on, my own river of tears started flowing. And i didn't have the strength to stop, not anymore. Not after all that's happened.

But before I could fully enjoy my pity party, I heard a frightening whimper. It broke my heart.

When I turned to check the source...

I saw a- a black wolf!

I let out a piercing scream, terrified of this beast before me. It was black everywhere, with little patches of white on the tips of the ears.

Besides that, the only other spot of colour was its eyes, they were shinning a glorious golden colour.

I got up suddenly horrified of what this beast could do to me. It could easily tower over a grizzly bear, my thoughts were all over the place. i couldn't construct a single rational thought.

I took a deep breath, trying to slow my rapidly beating heart.

Think Sandy, this is clearly a werewolf.

deep breath, step back

he must belong to Jordan's pack...

breath, step ba-back

so it must know that I'm a guest...

My feet caught on a fallen branch, causing me to fall backwards. Landing on my butt.

The dark beast came at me, whimpering at my attempt to run away. It came close until it was right next to me, it lowered it's head. Just as a normal dog would, if it wanted you to pet it .

I was at a loss, I didn't know what to do. It looked like it was surrendering, to me.

But that's not possible... is it?

I took my hand and reached out to pet it, just as I had to Luke. I scratched it behind it's ears, only to pull back when it growled loudly, might I add.

It lowered it's body, laying it in front of me. It lay it's head on my lap.

damn it's heavy!

I sat there stroking it's head, not sure what else to do. I figured he would transform back when it was ready.

We sat there together, completely at peace with each other.

I must have fallen asleep because I was woken up by my wolf. He was liking my face, trying to awaken me from my slumber.

"Okay I'm up" I muttered, then let out a small yawn. " you can transform back"

My wolf shock it's head seemingly terrified of my offer. This made me wonder why.

"please?" I pleaded.

He looked reluctant, but I guess he must of figured that he had little other choice.

He lowered his head...

And before I knew it, Jordan stood before me. Right where my wolf had been seconds ago.

If anyone would have told me that my wolf was the Alpha, I would have denied it. But even I, couldn't deny something I saw with my own eyes...

I stood completely dumbfounded. how could this be?

"Please, don't run away from me again" he pleaded looking really worn out.

I took a deep breath, and nodded my head as to reassure him.

He took a step closer, until he was right in front of me. He took a deep breath, as if sniffing something in the air.

"I am sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you" he began.

I shock my head trying to deny his observation.

but he continued to say, "don't even bother trying to deny it. I-I hurt you and that's the last thing, we want to do to you"

"we?"

"Me and my wolf. you are our mate, and I'm supposed to look after you. not bring you harm"

"mate?"

" as in soul mates...?" he questioned " I'm not sure what term humans use"

I nodded my head,

did he just say, we are soul mates?

He lightly touched my forehead, trying to get rid of the wrinkles, caused by me frowning.

"We are soul mates?" I questioned I wanted to be sure.

" Yes. We are.."

and for once I saw what appeared to be a smile, on the stern Alphas lips.

He is happy?

This confused me, shouldn't he be unhappy that he got a fragile human girl as a mate?

" Are you okay, with me, me being your mate? " I questioned, he must be feeling like he is being interrogated by now.

" Yes I am happy... very happy. It is your reaction that terrifies me" he whispered so lowly, that I almost didn't hear the last part.

He looked worn, years older. was he that nervous about my reaction. But what does he have to fear from a human, he is after all the big bad wolf. Strong and sound.

And absolutely breath taking... focus Sandy!

"why would that worry you?" I put my hand on his biceps, trying to offer some sort of comfort.

"Because I'm hideous!"

"What... whhat are u talking about?" I frantically asked.

I don't understand this mate thing, but I hated the thought of him being in this much pain.

His eyes turned golden, like his wolf. I took a step back letting my hands drop to my side again in the process. completely taken aback by the sudden change.

He let out a animalistic growl, and said to no one in particular. " You see even my mate fears me, the one who was created for us!"

At that moment, I knew he would never intentionally harm me. so I reached out to him once again, and held his hands in mine. I smiled at him and asked him to explain, why he thought I wouldn't want him.

"You only have to look at my face, to get your reason"

I was at a complete loss here, which must have showed in my face. cause he spoke again.

"don't play dumb, you see my scars!"

And suddenly I realised, he thought himself ugly in all eyes. What I saw as a mark of old tales, he saw as a stamp of imperfection.

I raised my hand towards his badly scarred face. lightly trending over, the badly healed flesh. He flinched away from my touch at first, then leaned towards my hand. Allowing me to memorise his features.

I won't lie, his scars were hard to look at. but only because I knew the story behind them, would be horrific. I found him very appealing otherwise.

My breath hitched suddenly excited about being so close to this man. apparently my man. This pleased me.

I stepped right into his personal space, living no room to breath between us. I lifted my head towards him, silently beginning him to bring his head down towards me. Allowing me to kiss him again.

damned these dwarf genes!

I looked up at him, trying to read his reaction. It was hard considering, how fast they were flashing across his face. but what I could clearly read was, disbelief then joy...

He lowered his head the rest of the way slightly at first, as I testing my reaction. And when he saw I wasn't leaving, he pressed his lips harder against mine. His lips were argent against mine, as though he feared I would dissappear or change my mind.

fat chance, mister...

He bit my lip light causing me to gasp, allowing him some leverage to explore my lips thoroughly....

let's just say, the sun had long set, before we made our way back to the packhouse...

*** Finally she knows that they are fated... having a mini party in my head. Hope you guys absolutely love ;) cause I do. But maybe I made him reveal his insecurity too quickly but it was the only way to get them to make up. And i wanted them to make up, I feel like a proud mother hen!

I just love these two....

Anyway I don't know what's next and I can bet neither do you. so stay tuned.
