Standing up, she opened the window and looked closely at it. For a moment, she inspected the place until something moved. She jumped in surprise, seeing a rabbit jumping out to scare her.
She sighed. This night was getting weirder and weirder. Strangely, she could hear the leaves moving. Every drop of rain was distinctly clear and the shower running seemed nearer. Alpha Draco was taking a bath so she thought she should probably wait to ask her questions.
Why was she feeling all these things right now? And why the hell was she hearing a lot of things at once?
Shaking off her thoughts, Anastasia threw herself on the bed, taking the pillows and covering her head with it. Some strange voice was taking over her mind.
Give in, it whispered so softly. It was her again.
"What are you saying?" Anastasia asked, pretending as if it could hear her. She must be going insane.
Give in.
The voice kept repeating, louder this time. She didn't understand what the voice meant and it seemed as if it couldn't hear her.
Anastasia finally sat up, trying to focus on the voice. She closed her eyes, hearing all the things around her. The rain. The shower. The leaves. The blowing wind. Everything was so loud and chaotic until suddenly it stopped. Then as if she was in a daydream, Anastasia heard a fatal cry from a distance. She opened her eyes, immediately running towards the door and opening it. The rain poured on her face but even then she couldn't care any less about the cold and the wetness.
In bare feet, she ran towards the forest, speeding fast through the trees and the rain. She had no control over her body even if she wanted. The voice needed help and her mind was forcing her to move and do something. Whoever was in trouble, she would try her best to save them. Anastasia reached far and wide before she saw the horrifying scenery before her. In the middle of an open meadow, there was a strange guy and he had a familiar girl in his arms.
"Wendy," Anastasia recognized. She was crying and looked like she was being abused.
"Luna, help me..." she cried, struggling against the stranger's hold.
"Get your hands off her!" Anastasia demanded, seeing red.
"Who the fuck are you?" The guy asked with a snicker.
"I'm the Luna of this pack and you're trespassing. Leave her alone now or there will be consequences."
"This is none of your business, Luna. She is my mate and I own her."
"We already rejected each other a long time ago!" Wendy screamed. "Now let me go!"
"No! You're mine!"
"I'm not yours anymore!"
Anastasia gritted her teeth, watching as the guy gripped Wendy's arm. "Let her go or you will regret it," she demanded one last time, her voice stronger and deeper, as it was not her saying it.
"What you gonna do?" The guy asked with an evil smirk. "You're just a girl. You can't beat me."
This guy will meet his death tonight, a voice promised in her head. Anastasia glared at the strange guy before her. She knew she couldn't beat him on a single fight but she had to do something to save Wendy. Whoever he was, he didn't have the right to disrespect a she-wolf like that. Especially his mate.
"Charles, let me go!" Wendy yelped but he pulled her hair, making her scream in pain.
As his grip tightened around Wendy's head, Anastasia lost it. With a growl, she felt her senses heightening and her fangs showing. In the heat of the moment, she pounced on her main target, not realizing her clothes got ripped off in the process as she shifted into a giant brown wolf.
In horror, the guy stepped back and fell on his butt as she landed on him. She bit his arm but he was strong enough to push her with his hands, blood dripping out of his fresh wounds.
"You're good," he commented with a smirk. "I've never seen a beautiful Luna shift in front of me."
Anastasia growled with anger. She shifted? Well, that was a surprise. But that was none of his business. And she wasn't done with him yet.
The guy stepped back, wiping his bloody mouth with his hand. "You should've stripped first before you shifted, Luna. If you did, you'd still have your clothes and I would've had a better view," he stated proudly with a disgusting smile.
Wendy was right in rejecting this guy. He was indeed a jerk.
Snarling with disgust, Anastasia pounced at him again. But this time, he caught her by the neck, raising her up the ground with one hand. Anastasia grunted, her wolf whimpering and running out of breath.
"No.."
"Interesting," he murmured, looking at her bright eyes. "You seem familiar.."
With a growl, Anastasia's brown wolf bit his arm, sending him screaming in pain. He landed on his butt again as She pounced on his chest, keeping him down. She snarled at his face and he cowered back in fear of her newfound strength. Just then, the rain seemed to stop and a bunch of wolves emerged from the shadows and she saw Beta Edward coming out wearing only a sports shorts.
"Luna?" he asked, sensing her scent. He must be confused. "Someone, give her a blanket!" He commanded, and Thomas came quickly, wrapping a warm blanket around the wet cold Luna.
"It's gonna be alright, Luna," Thomas murmured to make her feel better.
Beta Edward looked at Wendy who was crying and ran to her with concern. "What happened?"
"M-my.. mate.. he came b-back," she murmured, frightened and in shock. "He sa-said he wants m-me ba-ack.."
Beta Edward stood up with anger, looking at the trespassing werewolf with a deadly glare. "How dare you try to kidnap her?!"
"She's mine! I won't let any other wolf take her away from me!"
"She doesn't want you anymore!"
"She's just playing hard to get," the guy reasoned. "I know she wants me. She's my mate.. she's mine.."
"She's not yours anymore," Beta Edward growled with rage.
A wave of realization washed over the stranger's face and his anger radiated through his chest. "Are you fucking her?!" he demanded, immediately charging towards the Beta. But he was thrown away by another creature.
Everyone gasped as Alpha Draco punched the guy in the stomach with unbelievable strength. He sent the werewolf groaning and grunting with his head on the ground.
"How dare you trespass my territory, kidnap one of my members, and hurt my Luna?!" Alpha Draco's deep voice declared, looking at the guy who was now bowing down in front of him. In fear, everyone knew the trespasser could feel the power radiating from the Alpha's presence.
"I'm s-sorry, Alpha D-Draco," he stuttered in defeat. "I-I'm a—"
"Take him away. I want him questioned in the morning," Alpha Draco interrupted, and everyone scattered to chain the guy, taking him away by force.
"No! You don't understand! She's my mate! She's mine! Sh-she's—!" His voice was muffled as a piece of cloth was put in his open mouth.
"That's better," Thomas commented, waving his hands as if it removes the dirt of the cloth. Others looked at him with amusement.
"What the fuck did you put in his mouth?" Edward questioned with a raised eyebrow, stopping himself from laughing.
"Errr.. let's say he won't be screaming nonsense in the next few hours," he shrugged and everyone laughed as they took him away. Beta Edward followed after, assisting Wendy in his arms.
Draco turned to look at his mate, seeing the fragile brown wolf craving his care and touch. "Baby doll," he murmured with a smile. "You shifted.."
Her wolf's eyes were captivating and she was looking at him with so much excitement. Seeing her wolf for the first time was mind blowing and he couldn't help but admire the stunning creature. "You are so beautiful," he said, giving her a warm smile.
He kissed her forehead and slowly she shifted back into her human form, the warm blanket covering her naked body. Alpha Draco wrapped his warm arms around her, keeping her warm. He began to lift her off the ground, carrying her in his arms.
"You are full of surprises, do you know that?" he muttered and she looked at him happily.
"I never thought I have a wolf. I always thought I was wolfless." Only now she realized it was her wolf who was saying things in her mind since morning.
"You are a late bloomer."
"Really?"
"Or it's possible that mating with me has awakened your wolf and roused your wolf to come out."
"Oh.. that makes sense. I think she likes you too much," she murmured with a thought. "She gets excited when you're with me."
He chuckled, kissing her nose. "Can you tell her I like her too?"
Anastasia giggled as she felt him kissing her neck, smelling in her sweet scent. "She'd love that," she answered.
The night had cleared as they made their way to the mansion. Cutting their honeymoon phase short made her a bit sad but seeing the beauty of the mansion once again made her happy. With the full moon shining high above them, Alpha Draco walked towards the mansion, carrying his fragile mate in his arms.
