Waking up

Lola’s pov,

Lola woke up from the sound of women chattering. They all sounded so excited and happy. The last thing she remembered was that man biting into her neck like she was some kind of snack. She kept her eyes closed for a bit and tried to listen to what these women were talking about.

“I am so happy Dan is my mate. I acted like I didn’t want him, and he loved it! They like to feel in charge you know. So, I pretended to be super scared, and it made him want me even more,” A voice said.

Another voice responded, “I know Gavin could not keep his hands off me. He could not control himself, so he took me right there against the tree. I said no but I kind of liked it.”

Lola was wondering what kind of imbeciles they locked her up with. Talking about rape and encouraging Alpha male behavior like it was something good. A third voice joined the women, “You guys are proper insane you know. You can’t really be this shallow that your only wish is to be used by your mate.”

“Ow shut up Fenna. You are just jealous because you ended up with some low-omega wolf that spends his time with his nose buried in a book. I doubt you will get any hot sex from him.”

The third voice snorted, “Whatever you say, Deborah. I am sure I would rather have some low-ranked nerd than a mate who will hit me if I speak my mind.”

Lola was glad there was at least one person in there that was not completely insane. She decided she heard enough of this bullshit, and it was time to open her eyes. She sat up from the bed and saw that she was locked up in a cabin with about 50 other females. Three of them were sitting next to her bed and immediately stood up when she woke. A blond, slim female with a beautiful face smiled at her with the fakest smile she had ever seen. So, she assumed that was Deborah. Deborah squealed, “Girls! She woke up!”

All the women now got up and tried to get closer to the bed she was sitting on. They were all staring at Lola with anticipation, and she was wondering what the fuck was going on? Deborah stared at her for a while and then asked, “So? Aren’t you overjoyed?”

Lola looked at her confused, “Overjoyed about what exactly?”

Deborah playfully slapped her knee, “Ow come on I know you are not from here, but you must be so thrilled you got mated with the Alpha of the Grey Oak pack! I mean it has been every girl’s dream for the last 5 years to get chosen by him.”

Lola looked at her dryly, “Wow your lives must suck ass then if that is the ultimate dream here.”

A girl with short black hair, blue eyes, and glasses chuckled and said, “Oh I like you. Hard to find someone with a brain around here. My name is Fenna.” She held out her hand and Lola shook it.

“Lola.”

Deborah coughed and looked at them annoyed, “I don’t think you understand. You got mated with the Alpha of the Grey Oak Clan. Which is not only the biggest clan but also the leading clan.”

Lola started to get annoyed as well now, “Well I don’t want him, so you take him if you like him that much.”

All the women gasped and Deborah her face went pale, “You should not say such things! One cannot say no to Noah Grey.”

Fenna scraped her throat, “Well technically she could. It is werewolf law that at the mating ceremony which takes place a month after the hunt, both parties can deny the mate bond.”

Deborah growled, “You and I both know it doesn’t work that way in real life Fenna!”

Another woman quickly avoided an argument by saying, “But why would you want to deny Noah Grey? I mean he is so handsome. I would not mind laying my hands on those abs.”

The other women quickly added in, and they all started to talk enthusiastically about how dreamy Noah grey was and how lucky Lola was to get chosen.

The chattering immediately stopped though when spoken of the devil, Noah Grey walked in. He did not look at any of the women, his eyes were fixated on Lola. “Everyone get out, I want to speak to my mate,” he said.

They all ran out of the cabin as fast as possible like a bunch of trained puppy dogs. Fenna gave Lola one last look and gave a thumbs up behind Noah’s back before closing the door behind her.

Noah was wearing black sweatpants and a grey shirt and even though he was not naked this time she could still see all his muscles through his shirt. He seemed a bit less feral than the last time she saw him. He walked to her and brushed her hair to the side to look at her neck, “Are you okay? Does it still hurt?”

She slapped his hand away, “Don’t even think about touching me! You always bite women when you meet them? Is it like the special Noah introduction?”

She could see the confusion in his eyes like he wasn’t sure whether he should be annoyed or amused by her comment. He took a step back to give her some space, but his eyes were locked on hers.

“So apparently you know who I am. How come I do not know who you are? Where do you come from?”

Lola took a deep breath, and her mind went back to what happened a couple of weeks ago.
