Chapter 2

I wake up still tied to the back of the pure white wolf. I then realize that sent things are most likely going to kill me in remembering that. I start to struggle and try to get off the werewolf's back. I then notice 2 other werewolves one is in human form, and the other is still in wolf form just watching me. I then remember the knife in my shoe. I go to reach for it. But I'm having to stretch to get it. Right before I reach it. It's grabbed from my boot by the wolf. Scaring me by his teeth. The wolf I'm on notices me flinch and I hear him whine. Then I look to the other wolf who's now looking at me with my knife still in his mouth. Then I look towards the other werewolf in human form.

"I'm sorry about your predicament. But I assure you that we mean no harm."

"Pssh whatever that's what they all say right before they plan to kill me. This time you've caught me tho. So just get it over with already!"

"We're not going to kill you. Calm down, human!"

When he raised his voice at me. The wolf I'm tied to growls and the one who yelled at me visibly shakes and says sorry alpha.

"Oh god, so I'm on the alpha's back? Is he the one going to kill me?"

The alpha wolf I'm tied to whimpers. And shifts on the bed a bit causing me to fall face-first on the bed. And I'm still tied to I can't breathe.

The wolf suddenly whines and stands up and hops off the bed with me on his back. He then looks at the other wolf in human form and probably tells him something.

Suddenly he nods and grabs my knife from the wolf's mouth. And starts towards me.

"No! Please don't" I scream and he winces at my scream. But continues and next thing I know is my ropes are being cut off."

I try to get up and try to run. But the white wolf puts his paw that's almost larger than my whole back. Causing me to stay down.

"Like I said, Layla. I'm sorry about your predicament. And I wish we had time to tell you what's going on. But this is our last chance."

"Last chance at what? What's going on!"

"You my lady. Are the alphas mate."

"There's no way. I have been running from your kind. Plus vampires. And none of them had shown me mercy and I couldn't either. I've killed 4 werewolves and 2 vampires. I can't be his mate. Not when your kind wants me dead as well. Where's the proof? How will I know this isn't some trap to make me happy. Then when I'm vulnerable you'll rip my throat out."

"Look our alpha has gone too long without a mate and without a mate he'll eventually die. He's stuck in his wolf form that's the 1st sign of him losing the human part of him. We need to try this."

The pure white wolf whines then nudges me with his snout.

"You guys can't expect me to believe this can you?"

"Layla to tell if he's your mate you can pet his head and you'll feel shocks. If you feel the shock I need you to say I Layla May Wolf accept Bentley Alexander Carter as my mate."

The white wolf in question I now know as Bentley growls at the man. But seems to think better and stops.

I do as told, still thinking this is a hoax of some sort. But as I touch his head I feel such intense sparks that it could be mistaken as being electrocuted.

I imminently take my hand away. But the white wolf pushes his head into my hand again.

I decide to play their game.

I Layla May Wolf accept Bentley Alexander Carter as my mate.

As soon as I finish my sentence. The alpha's bones start cracking. I turn around knowing what that sound means and I'd rather not meet him for the 1st time in his birthday suit.

After a while of silence and clothes being put on just feet from me. He speaks.

"Layla you know my name but turn around so you know the face to my name."

Hearing him speak sends shivers of excitement throughout my whole body.

I turn around and almost choke at how hot he is.

He's got the nicest jawline I've ever seen with just the right amount of stubble and his hair is dark brown almost black but seeing it makes me want to run my fingers through it. Then his eyes. His eyes are deep ocean blue with gold pigment around the pupil. I'm so lost in his handsomeness that I totally don't hear him talking until he touches my hand taking me out of my daze.

"H-ey w-hat did you say?"

"I said it's nice to meet you, Layla. I'm sorry my beta made you accept me like that. But he was right I almost was a goner."

"I-I'm sorry. That m-must have been terrifying."

"I'm happy now that I have you. But if you need your space I'll gladly give it to you."

"I-I don't know what's going on. Why me?" I say starting to hyperventilate.

"Layla" he says grabbing my shoulders.

"Layla the mate bond is going to be very strong and confusing with you especially since you're human. But take your time. Take all this at your own pace. Do not let me do anything you don't want. My wolf Raphael agrees that we'll take this at your pace and your pace only."

"Your parents would want me to treat you the best way possible."

"You knew my parents?"

"You don't remember?"

"Remember what?"

"We used to be friends a long time ago."

I'm now so confused. And I know he sees it because he wipes his hands across his face and whisper-yells "shit".

"Your parents never wanted you to find this part out about your family. But they never anticipated you being My mate. My dad was a friend of your parents. We actually knew each other as kids but my father made me start training to be an Alpha. But when we heard of your parent's death 2 years ago. We sent every wolf after you to ensure your safety And especially to bring you here. But some wolves wanted other things with you we don't know what. But the vampires killed your parents due to a rare gift they had. They could ignore any supernatural charm. And being born what is now called a charm Denyer is very rare and dangerous. Any supernatural being who feasts on your flesh will gain the powers you have if you have any, not all of your kind which is still human so you know. But not all will gain powers. Your kind could also watch a supernatural being do something and they could mimic it. It's something you all have in common. Your father watched my dad turn into a wolf before he even knew my dad was a werewolf. But your dad turned into a wolf shortly after my dad saw him watching him. It's law to kill or somehow make a human forget they saw a werewolf. My dad was going to do it. But then he saw your father turning into a wolf. The only issue though is that it is a mimic ability so his wolf looked just like my dad's wolf."

"So why was my family murdered for their ability to be like you guys?"

"There is a legion that says something about humans gaining supernatural abilities. They don't stop at werewolf abilities. They can have vampire abilities; they can have witch abilities. They can have any supernatural ability upon seeing a supernatural."

"Umm okay, why haven't I been able to change into a wolf then? I know they exist and have basically seen one form of a human. I'm not like my parents are I?"

"Layla. The Legend isn't a legend anymore it's now a prophecy. You are the last part of this prophecy. You are the way to either eliminate one race or the other or you can unite them all. If the vampires get you they want to use your powers to kill us and anything in their way. We want to protect you and teach you about your abilities since we know most about them. But now that we found out that you are my mate. You are in more danger. I am the strongest alpha out there with the biggest wolf. And with you, I am even stronger."

"Look Bentley this wolf man thing isn't new to me. I've been living in fear of being caught for 2 years now. But now that I'm caught I'm told that I'm basically one of you. Just better? No, i can't do this i just want a normal-- "I didn't get to finish my sentence in front of him but as my heart was racing with adrenaline from back talking an alpha werewolf who could kill me in 2 seconds if he wanted.

"Life," I say then look around to find myself outside of a giant mansion in the middle of the woods. This must be where I just was but I'm now outside?

The door to the house suddenly bursts open scaring the shit out of me and out of habit I find myself looking towards the next tree as his eyes land on me. But instead of walking, I find myself suddenly in the tree. But I didn't have any balance so I fell. I started screaming like a little girl. But I am suddenly surrounded by fur as a white wolf jumped catching me about 20 feet in the air. We both land with a thud. He instantly starts to turn back so I look towards the mansion. But as I do I suddenly find myself on the roof.

"Ugh, What the fuck! Make it stop!"

I suddenly heard Bentley's voice and a few others told me to close my eyes so I did as told.

"Okay now that I'm on the roof of a mansion and I have no sight and not the best footing." As soon as I finish my sentence a shingle from the roof gives way causing me to fall off the ledge I'm on. I hear screams to not open my eyes. So I don't; hoping that I'll somehow be okay.

I suddenly feel myself surrounded by fur again and the thud of us hitting the ground. And a panicked voice telling me not to open my eyes until told it was okay.

I feel like I am being stared at by 100s of people.

"God I feel like such a freak I say out loud."

I have an idea. Is a dreaded sentence I hear from one of the were-things that helped capture me.

"Oh god, the werewolf has an idea. Someone kill me now to get it over with." I hear him gasp and I can imagine him putting his hand over his heart as if he's hurt by that pfft, Yeah he'll get over it. He's probably only had a small scratch his whole life and it probably healed in 3 seconds.

I suddenly feel something go around my neck and someone holding the other end of some rope.

Then it hits me. This wolf, a dog just put a leash on me. A human.

"Ohh hell no!" I start to freak out but he tells me to trust him unless I want to teleport some random place I look again. I then feel a cloth wrapped around my eyes and him again telling me to trust him.

"Ugh, how I wish I could teleport inside an active volcano right now," I say through a grunt only to feel Bentley's hands tighten on me... wait when did he change back into a human?

I suddenly came to realize something.

"Bentley?" I ask with an annoyed voice.

"Yes, Layla?"

"You do have clothes on right?"

"Umm let's just say I do to make things easier." He says with a nervous voice.

I then lifted my foot and slightly kicked that area only to find no clothing and a long something that seemed a bit too long but knowing what it was made me blush.

He howls in pain, literally.

"I told you it'd be easier not knowing darling." He says with love and still some pain laced in his voice.

"Now you're going to walk up 4 steps to the front porch. Then I'll guide you to my room which is the best place to open your eyes. I have a black curtain blocking out all light. I'll shut my door so you don't start teleporting all over the house."

I walk up the steps with no trouble and find myself inside his house once again. I then am led to another room that is colder than the rest of the house. Probably his room due to him acting like a typical human teenager and blocking out all the sun from his life.

I'm told I can open my eyes. So I do.
