The Howl of Claim | COMPLETED

Su ( H i s )

When I woke up with my body curled in his arms, sleep was quick to vanish from my eyes with my ears beeping.

My skin immediately started throbbing and I quickly pushed him away, not caring what he thought.

I had to get away before my mind tells me that it had the same thoughts as my wolf. The thought to give in to my mate.

The second I was out of his arms, Darius woke up - still in his Lycan form - and my eyes widened.

I was still not used to watching Lycans in their true forms and after looking at the beast in front of me, I was sure to get a few nightmares.

They were huge and really scary, unlike the wolves.

How could I be like this? How could my body betray me and my mind? Stupid body! But then again, I had a very good sleep. Warm sleep.

But then again, when I woke up, he was already awake and was waiting for me to wake up. No Freya, that is not sweet!

Don't give him the credit.

He just had nothing better do than looking at the beauty beside him, that's right, who wouldn't look at me. I am gorgeous.

Anyway, his stare was unwavering which made me uncomfortable, a lot.

I was quick to get away from him but I knew that he knew how much this affected me. How much his closeness affected me. No matter how much against I was to this mate thing, my body loved whatever he did and whatever he said.

He kidnapped me for god's sake!

I had my legs spread in front of me only to find my knees and feet filled with scratches. I looked up to see Darius looking at my legs and my face turned red.

My legs were basically widespread in front of him.

I was quick to have them folded underneath me.

Keeping them out of his sight.

Darius stood up and I watched quietly, thinking what was he going to do next. He stared straight into my bright blue eyes and I suddenly grew wary of my self.

I must look like a woman escaped from the madhouse at the moment.

Darius' beast took a step towards me and I raised my arm - which ticked him off for an unknown reason - to stop him and his jaw clenched.

The Lycan suddenly started to shift in front of me as the words I had in my mouth went back in.

I wanted to tell him to 'Stay away and let me go' but watching him shift back made me swallow my words. I don't know why though.

I watched as his fur retracted in his body, giving way to his skin and other body features.

My eyes openly gawked at his body and features - still not getting over the fact that I got such a gorgeous mate - but I had to move my eyes away when something else started to get visible as well.

My wolf raised her horny head as I closed my eyes and tried to calm my nerves. A sigh escaped my lips.

I was about to open my eyes but I was a little late and my jaw was grabbed - cue the Sparks - and pulled up causing my eyes to snap.

I came face to face with his gorgeous self but the little of what was there of my wolf swooned, he looked straight into my eyes angrily.

What made him so angry?

"Listen once and nail it into your head, I will never let you go! You can try as much as you want and I will just drag you back. Let this be a fair warning because the next time you will do it, you'd wish you would've never left."

I gulped - wishing my wolf could lend me some of her strength instead of swooning over the beast, so I could punch the guy straight in the face.

Since my wolf wasn't completely there - only her presence and not strength - I couldn't do anything. I was a mere human at the moment.

"Understood?!" He snapped angrily and my heart jumped. I didn't want to say Yes or give him satisfaction but the furious glare he gave me made me want to submit.

I slowly nod - not speaking, I didn't have the energy to speak anyway.

"I need words." He says, slowly loosening his hold on my jaw.

"I understand." It was a mere whisper - I hated how weak I felt. I was an Alpha for god's sake! If only I had my strength. Darius' softened the look in his eyes sighed.

"Let's go." He muttered and let me go, I stood up myself.

I watched Darius' back as he walked to the entrance of the cave with a pair of knickers on - I swear I don't know where he magically makes them appear.

Also, even his back was gorgeous.

"You coming?" He asked while twisting his face to the side and I immediately nod, slowly jogging to his side.

I just want him to trust me enough so I can sneak away back to my pack and I did not care if he would drag me back.

I will have to return to my pack as soon as possible and once I have my wolf back, I can mind link them as well.

But RightNow, I could do nothing except follow the guy walking beside me, also known as my mate.

The second I step on the snow ground, I hiss but immediately seal my lips before he heard me.

"Walk-behind me." He suddenly says and I look up at him.

"Why?" Is this some sort of overpowering shit? That a female should be behind a male while he is leading?

"Because I sense something. It could be dangerous." Thank God he didn't have a reason like what I thought but still, he thinks I cannot protect myself.

I was - am - an Alpha for god's sake!

But then again, I was not able to sense what he sensed because, for a clear reason, I did not have the power he possessed.

"You think I cannot protect myself?" I say, still walking beside him. Darius looked down at me and for a moment I stare into his eyes until he grabs my arm - damn the Sparks - and pull me behind him.

"Yes, you cannot protect yourself." He said while still grabbing my arm in his calloused fingers. That ticked me off but he was right.

He still didn't know that I did not have my wolf or else he would be even more protective so that's a good thing but then again, he still thought that with my wolf and I was a weakling.

"I can protect myself, thank you-" I didn't get to complete my sentence because I was grabbed and thrown over his shoulder - I was grateful to be off the cold ground.

"Your reflexes are not strong and you are not strong physically either - might be for some wolves but not my kind - and another thing, you are a female." The sexism in this guy was stuffed in by giant bulldozers.

Who did he think he was?

"Let me down." I did not get a reply as he continued to walk and I groaned, "I demand you to let me down!"

This made him tighter his grip around me and then pull me in his arms, shifting position to bridal style.

I yelped at his really fast movements and quickly threw my arms around his neck - any bits of advice on how to stop the stupid sparks? - and stare at his face that was made into a hard expression as he looked straight forward.

In simple words, I was not able to remove my eyes from him again.

You just watch Darius Valentino, I will run and you won't be able to catch me.

But right now, someone help me with this weird attraction I was having with this guy.

...

You know what I just found out? That I had a chapter before this which was incomplete - so I had to merge whatever was in there in here. This sucks.
