Standing at the far end at the top of the mountain, Sage could see his mate, playing and laughing together with another person. He was in pain. He felt like something had just been stung into his heart and he couldn't pluck it out. He was trying hard not to believe what he just heard. For the past five years being out of his pack, he'd always craved to return home and find his precious mate, maybe he had her at his home. However, he'd returned and he'd found his mate the moment he came back which has been the easiest way ever but then, his mate didn't want him.He had come to visit his favourite place which was the spring after missing it for so many years. But, while enjoying the blowing breeze and atmosphere, he smelled the tastiest cherry he had ever smelled. His wolf dangled in his head at the scent and he knew instantly that the scent had come from his long-found mate. He sprang up immediately from where he sat and headed down the mountain where the scent was coming from, hittin
The strong tasty aura hit him and flinched at the feeling that his mate was moving toward the pack building. Although he was standing in the middle of the hall inside the pack building, a bit far from her, he feared she would also smell him as far as he could. Why was she going into the pack building? The aura was getting stronger and stronger indicating she was getting closer and he had to quicken his conversation with the King. "Are you sure about this, Sage?" Alpha Cowell asked. His expression showed that he was bothered. "Yes, Alpha," Sage answered, his head bowed as always. "It's not as easy as you think." Alpha Cowell bellowed."I would love to know the feeling." He uttered, curving a deep smirk on his face. With his voice, Alpha Cowell could detect that he was anxious as well determined."I can't stop you, Sage but you have to think twice about it. Why don't you confirm it with her? She might have her reasons, whereas you don't know who she is yet, you are making rational de
Gwen crossed his legs over each other, his cup of coffee still in his right hand. He tried harder to think of a way out for Sage but Sage's opinions were still the best way to know about Aurora's wish. "It wouldn't be easy when you need your scent back." He conveyed and sip from his cup while Sage watched him. "What you want to do is between life and death," Gwen warned like how Beta Craig and Alpha Cowell did."I'll give it a try." He conceded, making himself comfortable on the sofa."It's not about giving it a try, it's about the consequences.""Do you advise me to give up on her?""I'm not. I only need to remind you that the last person who has hidden her scent from her mate didn't make it when she needed it." Sage groaned. Although it has been years yet, the event played in his mind like it was seconds ago when Gwen mentioned it. As a pup, the teen had hidden her scent from her mate who was once her enemy. She ended up falling in love with him and needed her scent back to feel an
It was some hours passed midday and Aurora called a gathering to her acquaintance outside the pack building to address them. They all assembled in a well-arranged consecutive line with vast poses making the hundredth warriors look coordinated due to how they practiced their tradition in the Lock Hearts pack. Lock Hearts pack was one of the most effective packs in Austin, Texas. It had an enormous number of shifters of both adult wolves and pups. They were up to three hundred and they were ruled peacefully by their powerful and caring Alpha Cowell with his companions including Aurora, the brave commander of the pack fighters.Even when Aurora was looking minor, the toughest wolves and pups honoured her as their commander. They all hearkened to her and no one dared to defy their duties because she was a female wolf. As she ascended onto the altar located at the front of the pack building where decrees were made and given, instruments and chorus was played to give her a birthday ceremo
Pack members began to troop into the pack Academy. The Academy, located in the middle of the woods, was the biggest building compared to the packed building where the Alpha stays. It was built for the activities being held. It was a place where wolves are trained, especially the pups. They were taught in the academy in groups how to control their wolf and how to do the combat fight when they can't shift, maybe due to how weak their wolves are. The teaching was always section by section. Adults and pups have different stages they learn from before prompting to the next stage. Then, after the teaching, everyone would gather and talk about what they'd been taught. Most times, training takes place in the night for those who need to go for a run or the night watch.The Alpha King Cowell had built the Academy making the pack a very special one different from other packs and members of the pack had fallen in love with his intelligence. Occasionally, he visits the Academy, during a full moo
"I'm Aurora." She introduced herself to Sage through the mind link as they strolled side by side in the woods. After Sage has introduced himself, Aurora calmed her nerves seeing that he wasn't there to harm her. Her anger had turned to warmth, seeing how protective he could be. "You're the pack fighter, I know you." He implied and she stopped on her track which he also did. Her wolf turned to him, wiggling her tail in anxiety. "How come I don't know you and you're a pack member?" She asserted, using her eyes to roam over his brown wolf. He looked handsome with a tall and muscular figure in his wolf form and she imagined how he would be in his human body. She felt goosebumps building beneath her furs."You don't know everyone in the pack, do you?" Sage inquired and started to walk away.Aurora fumed when she saw he wasn't giving her the respect she deserved. She was a leader and he was walking away from her not telling her who he was and why he had approached her.She scurried after
Aurora's alarm rang too early for her to wake up. It was as if she never slept a second after she had gone to bed the other night. She felt weak and exhausted. She desired to get back to bed but she couldn't. She had to be at the pack building where the rogues would be given their final judgement. She used her thumb to rub her dark circles, staring at herself inside the five feet mirror in her washroom.After her bath, she brought out another pair of her uniform to wear. Satisfied with her appearance, she grabbed her spec and wore it properly furthermore, striding out of her bedroom down to the sitting room.She cringed watching her grandmother dance to the tune of the music that was played from a stereo in the sitting room. She was with a pack of chocolate candy, munching them with excitement. Sora loved chocolate and after so many days of missing it, she finally got a chance to go out to town to get one. Most times she was busy going out and shopping, she does almost everything for
"How dare you, Sage?!" Beta Craig cringes at him, standing up from his seat, his gaze on Sage who was on the terrace of the hall, watching them. Everyone turned their attention and gasped at what they saw, the Beta's son? An uproar was about to start but Beta Craig's statement stopped them. "How dare you impede the king's order?!" He questioned Sage again.Moreover, Sage was already climbing down the stairs towards the King and his associates. When he reached the front of the throne, he pushed his knees down to the altar and bent his head, ready to seek forgiveness. "I'm sorry, King Alpha, I'm so sorry." He pleaded and waited for the King to declare him up.Meanwhile, Aurora stared shockingly at Sage. How could he stop the King's order? The worst part of it for her was sniffling the same aura she had smelled the other night. Was he the same wolf she had a chat with? The wolf that tamed her? What was he doing in the hall? Was he serious when he meant he lived in the Prime region? But w
