Zachary's (POV)

My wolf was howling in happiness, and it became so difficult for me to control myself in front of our Mate that I had no other choice left, other than to come to the guest room.

"Calm down Theo I know you are happy, but this won't work, we don't know who she is or why we couldn't recognize her earlier, there are too many uncertainties, and unsolved puzzles around her that make me anxious," I said to him

"Does it matter Zack, she is our mate and I want her, maybe she isn't aware of anything and I know what you're thinking and in my opinion, you need to let go of the past'' he replied

I didn't reply to that and went to the shower room, took my clothes off, and let the warm water do its magic.

Later, I went to the dining hall for breakfast and saw my mate standing in front of our family tree dressed in a grey top, baby blue overcoat paired with white bottom and brown boots looking stunning but oh boy, I was much interested in things underneath that...

"Shut up Zack" I scolded myself

I instantly felt a spark when her eyes got locked with mine, changing her eye colors was so mesmerizing I could probably never get over it.

I could feel her eyes all over me and do I hate it, Nah

She bowed like everyone else and I didn't like it but couldn't react to it either

We had our Breakfast and Arnica explained to her what had happened and why she was in my home

To my surprise she didn't say anything about our little adventure inside the cave instead she lied about it and to be completely honest I could understand why

No human would have ever believed her, rather she could be declared a crazy woman, or 'maybe you had a dream ' is all she could have heard

She thanked all of us for taking care of her and apologized for causing us so much trouble, I am attracted to her and liked taking care of her, due to this mate bond, but I couldn't deny the fact that she was a troublemaker

Later, she asked Ziwa for a favour to take a day off, and she gladly granted it

The day went by and the Night came I hadn't seen her all day after knowing who she was, I just couldn't keep my mind off of her; it's just so unfair but I can't help it mate bond works like that

I know if I don't see her now, my night will be even more restless, but it would be extremely inappropriate for me to go to the women's hostel so I let Theo take over me

Honestly, I just planned on taking a quick look at her and going away but, Theo had his plans since he was in charge I couldn't do much about it we went near the women's hostel and saw something more interesting

We saw her climbing down her room through something that looked like a rope but wasn't, she was sneaking towards the forest "What could have made her sneak out in the middle of the night" Theo stated and I started wondering

Does she have a lover? WHY I mean, how Theo was making me crazy with all sorts of questions and I was furious and dying curious, I wanted answers now, even if that meant scaring her to the death to get one, so we decided to follow her in my wolf form

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

Theo strongly opposed the idea of dragging her and demanding answers, I could have done that, I was furious and becoming restless as to where is she going, that too in the middle of the night, sneakily, into the forest does she have no fear of animals what is it that can't be done in broad daylight

Author's interruption:- 'Men' 😑 sorry for the interruption 😅 continue with the story hope you are enjoying it😁)

"She was heading towards the QUIET WATERFALL... This woman is out of her mind, how can a sane woman go out for a..... walk I suppose... I mean in the middle of the night... sneakily, Does any of these things make sense oh good goddess what a troublemaker is paired with me" I stated and Theo laughed at it "I think it would be fascinating knowing her" he said while giggling

Nevertheless, we followed her, she turned east just a few meters before the waterfall, she had a book in her hands we hadn't noticed earlier and from this far it looked like she was reading it, to follow her path after walking for a while, she stopped abruptly positioning herself in a defensive mode we changed our view a little to understand what's going on........ rouges

Before we could react, two of them were already in mid-air, and the faster they reacted the faster they dropped to the ground we were too focused on the rouges that we didn't know what just happened

looks like she had pepper spray and a stun gun "Good job, girl" Theo exclaimed in excitement and we took place behind her, close enough for all of them to see us and then growled making them run away... she didn't even turn and ran for her life

It was more like a slow jog for us but we decided not to confront her, she managed to reach the waterfall, scared as hell, where she tripped and her book fell into the water she quickly jumped into the water to fetch that and when she finally turned towards us, she froze

"Am I this scary?......" Theo asked "Yes we are... the king of Alpha what do you think We would look like " I replied

We sat not far from the waterfall, to show her that we were not going to hurt her

She was drenched in water and her dress became slightly transparent revealing her inner clothes making us somewhere uncomfortable

Taking her steps as far as she could from us she came out of the water not losing her eyes on us even for a second but her eyes, those vibrant colours, Theo and I both are at a loss for words, they were just mesmerizing those colours suits her

After coming out of the water she carefully increased her distance from us and reached for her stun gun, she twisted and turned it and slapped it across her palm but it didn't work I suppose it's a flashlight, I was very much amused by her actions

She just sat there, while hugging her book and herself we didn't move so that she could feel secure

The moon was waxing crescent so there wasn't much light since it was summer the night breeze was cool, I got an idea, we got up and her head snapped towards us, I thought, she twisted her neck, she was so scared of us that it affected Theo very much we ran in other direction to find some women clothing usually they are hung on trees just in case if someone needs it

"Found one" I exclaimed we quickly took it and went to the waterfall again she saw us and stood up again this time she had a thick wood stick, raised against me...... Theo was very sad about her behaviour towards us, on the other hand, I was very amused, I mean in my wolf form we are way bigger than her, I have to lower myself to reach her and she thinks she can harm us by this stick come on at least have some common sense

We dropped her clothes and backed away "The look in her eyes I cannot take it anymore we are going back home, Zack she is afraid of us and I hate it she can take care of herself" Theo spoke, visibly hurt, but before we could move away Fiora took her steps forward picked clothes and started changing right in front of us

Now, Theo wanted to wait and see the sensual scene put up for us unknowingly, I had to force him to turn around as much as I wanted to watch her she was innocent and considered us as an animal her privacy is what we should respect

I heard a giggle from her so, when we turned towards her she was staring at us and spoke...

"What a gentleman you have more manners than most of us humans" she giggled again oh my goodness she was looking beautiful in a white sundress her skin from the knee was a little torn but her skin looked lovely in light moonlight she looked more relaxed than earlier she picked her book from the ground, turned towards us and spoke...

"Can I touch you" We sat so she could get more comfortable getting near us my actions took her aback and asked again " Can you understand me" her eyes becoming small as if she was unsure of what she just asked, Theo, nodded in response, she came near us still not sure of what she was doing, nervously stretched her hands towards us and stopped closing her eyes as tightly as she could and looking away we closed the remaining of the distance, she slowly opened her eyes and looked towards us feeling the soft fur of ours the expression on her face was priceless.
