Chapter 9 For another week , Cole pretended that he would stay away from Sierra .
However , one restless night , I was jolted awake by a searing pain that carved Horse ! my very come .
Without a doubt , I knew they were together .
He was fucking her, and that realization shattered me .
I wept bitterly , unable to again .
I endured the pain until morning .
With the new day .
Sierra made no effort to conceal the evidence of their mating : Coles mark Marant declaration worn proudly on her neck .
I pretended not to care and went for my routine run .
This time , I let my wolf carry me farther into the woods , my heart heavy with sorrow , It was time to do something no matter how strong I tried to appear , I couldnt bear to shure Cole vish another wonson , especially not when that woman was Sierra Also , I couldnt just rely on the support of my fellow Lanas to live by : I was one of the youngest , and as Eve had said , I didnt need to wither away because my bushanal had found his mate .
I had mained my legs in lieciame strong and now I no longer needed a cane .
Although limped slightly , it was almost unnoticeable .
As I ran into the woods , letting the wind comb through my fur , Helt an eerie sensation of being followed .
I glanced over my shoulder repeatedly but saw no one .
My senses heightened , alert in every rustle and whisper of the woods .
It was not until I was exhausted that I woteed | Tad reached the fringe of another territory , the park we were all su forbiikden to stray near the Gentle Lords pack .
Those people were troublemakers , and we were told never to go near them .
The Gentle Lord was notorious for igniting wars over trivial disputes His pack was the strongest and largest pock in his region .
We were not in the same region , but he had claimed lands that belonged to other packs , etorn ours until we bordered with his pack .
The borders had been demarcated with wired fences , and , although thickers had overgrown them , onr could still catch glimpses of the land beyond the fence .
For a split second , I was tempted to make a dangerous move .
I felt like climbing over that fence and exploring the woods beyond , and it was that curiosity that carried me closer to the fence .
My wolf was getting agitarril .
Arta , lets go back ; she warned .
The name Gentle Lord belies the man on at on the o other side .
As I went closer .
I noticed that part of the fence had been violently torn asunder , creating an opening just large enough for a wolf to slip through My heart hammered against my ribs , a dull echo of dread resonating through my body as I wondered what it meant .
Our park was in danger , the Night Howlers pack might already be infiltrating and in no time they might bring war to us .
But what had our pack done to deserve the trouble of the Gentle Lord , who was not so gentle ! It explained the eerie sensation of being watched that had prickled at my senses earlier .
I took a tentative step back , intending to retreat , but a deep , resonant growl froze me in my tracks .
My wolf whimpered inside , overwhelmed by the commanding and dominating aura that now enveloped us .
She tried to relinquish control , but I fought her because the last thing I wanted was to be captured naked .
As I risked another step , the growl came again , even louder this time , and I knew instantly that it was a clear warning against further movement Hear in my throat , I slowly turned around and found myself staring into the fierce , glowing eyes of three large black wolves , their presence formidable ..
My wolf tensed , a shudder coursing through me , but it was the figure that emerged from behind them that truly struck fear into my heart .
A colossal black wolf , its golden eyes blazing fiercely .
I caught only a fleeting glimpse of the wolf I was convinced was the Gentle Lord before my instincts seized control .
Without a thought for the consequences .
I turned and bolted , propelled by pure survival instinct .
A haunting howl sliced through the air behind me , but I didnt dare look back .
I my wolf form until I was in the safety of our territory .
Fear cling to me like leeches , urging me onward , preventing me from even considering stopping to retrieve my clothes .
So , I left them and continued my frantic dash until I reached the sanctuary of my room .
Only then did I shift back into my human form , my breath ragged and my heart pounding as if desperate to escape its bony cage .
I collapsed onto my bed the relief mingled with the lingering touch of terror .
That had been far I walked into the foyer flanked by my guards who had gone to the borders with me .
We had received troubling news : members from the other pack had vandalized the fence that marked our territories , sneaking into our pack under cover of darkness to steal food and clothing from my people .
1 planned to send a warning to their Alpha .
Unless he wanted my wrath , he should caution his people .
I had gone with some of my guards to inspect the damage and to apprehend any trespassing werewolf , intending to make an example of them What I had not expected was to find my mate there of all places .
I had not met her in person before , but my wolf had recognized her wolf .
I never thought I would haud any mate, especially , not in such a situation .
Seeing her across my border was something I never expected in my wildest dreams .
She was there incher woll form , examining the broken fence .
Was she one of the werewolves that went through the fence to steal ? But before Drualdeven stop her , thar was fleeing away .
My guards made to go after her , but I asked them to let her be .
Now that I knew her pack , firsling her again would only be a nutter of time .
As Lentered the den , the sigla that greeted use was not what I expected for was lounging on the couch , nonchalantly enjoying the attentions of a phiang woman who was , crouched in front of him , her head bobbing up and down his shaft .
What the fuck , man , Troclaimed , my expressing cour of unduguised revilion for sucked in a heath sharply are gave the girl a gentle pat , signalling her to stop .
She quickly adjusted herself , stood up with her head bowed in a room .
Turning to Jor , I couldnt hide my irritation .
Is this why you skipped the patrol this morning I demanded 1/2 ( with a wave of his hand .
I was just in the mood , needed to scratch my lich , he confessed , unabashed .
a long , hard link before sinking into an armchair across from him .
Next month , at your ball , I want you to invite the Alphas from the 120 d Lapter Eastern Endem I instructed , shifting the topic to something more pressing Jors face regtered shock , his eyebrows shooting up in disbelief .
Why ? he blurted out , puzzled .
