Chapter 6

Klaus

Jenna and Marcus paced around outside the room whilst I watched them getting worried for my mate and wishing for her to be well from the window of the room.

Asher, the pack doctor had allowed me to stay inside the room though I didn’t ask him for this favor. Scarlett’s whole body was sweating and her skin was getting whiter as each second was passing by.

“You’re wasting the time and putting her life in danger, honey. You know, nothing can be done once a she-wolf goes into her heat. Her heating process has already started,” Kia gushed in a worried tone. She was Asher's mate and wife, they were the oldest couple in the pack.

Asher had warned me that I was putting her life in danger by deciding not to mate with her but I wanted him to search for the reason why her body was getting pale and bruises?

What was so different about her?

Even Todd didn’t find her wolf.

We were waiting for past an hour for her to wake up but now, the case was getting worse as she wasn’t showing any sign of recovering.

“Your herbs aren’t working…?” I asked Asher. There was a slight chance of her swoon breaking though Asher had told me that he couldn’t find her wolf reacting to the herbs so it won’t work but I wanted to give it a shot.

I was ready to give everything a shot if it could halt her heating process but it seemed like nothing could stop it now.

“I told you already,” Asher shrugged, shooting a gloomy and confused glare my way. I was sitting next to Scarlett. Asher and his wife were sitting a bit distant. Kia was already preparing for the bag of full cotton white clothes and the other stuff which would help Scarlett during her first heat.

Dropping my elbows on her bed, I lowered my head and closed my eyes. Nothing would break her heat and I knew that if I decided to mate with her, she'd feel used.

The door opened with a thud and I saw Marcus stepping inside in outrage. His wolf’s golden eyes flickered in his green orbs, something must have pissed him off to get on the edge of his wolf responding to it.

“You are fu-king making your choice right now, I won’t let her die. Either you’re mating with her or I’m,” he growled loudly enough to his words to be audible to everyone inside and outside the room.

His threat made me lose my temper and I snapped back at him, “I’m her mate. You’re not. So you fuc-king stay out of it.” I could feel my veins popping on my forearms as I controlled the urge to beat the shit out of him.

Todd was ready to take over and give him the best shot for talking like that with his Alpha and thinking about mating with our mate. I had to control him but he also snarled at me.

“I doubt that, I’m afraid you might be wrong because my wolf wants to protect her and save her at any cost. Your wolf is sleeping perhaps, she’s beautiful so it might be just an attraction for you,” he barked.

My blood boiled at his ridiculous words, I stood up from the chair and threw the chair at him. The next moment, I found myself catching his throat.

Fu-k.

Todd was taking control. He pushed me to the back of my mind and tried to shift right there but I was fighting with him to go back and let me take control.

“I ain’t sleeping and she’s mine. Don’t you dare disobey your Alpha and think about her,” an animalistic voice rang in the room which was so dreadful for everyone else. Even Jenna rushed into the room and stood away, everyone was so scared that nobody even tried to save Marcus.

“Now, if you’re done with threatening everyone, come back, Todd. Or else I won’t let you out like ever,” I threatened him and the next second, the furr started changing into the normal hair of my hands.

“You’re taking our mate into the woods and mating with her right now. You just have thirty minutes or else she’ll die and I’ll shun you forever,” Todd warned me before letting me take control.

I left Marcus's throat and he coughed for a good minute before taking deep breaths to fill his lungs with air. Todd could be ruthless sometimes but this time, he wasn’t wrong completely. No one should even think of my mate.

Fu-king no one.

“Are you okay, Marcus?” Jenna asked, offering him a glass of water which he barrelled on me.

“Fu-king wake up. She has just thirty minutes,” Marcus screamed out, “leave or I’ll mate with her and nobody can stop me. You aren’t Alpha yet and I’ll fight with you if that’s what saves her.”

His determined and gutsy voice made me question our bond. Was he really that Marcus with whom I grew up?

Whatever he said was true, how could he state the same thing that I got to know by my wolf?

I could solve that riddle later, too. For now, I should focus on Scarlett. Her life was in danger and I was the reason somewhere.

My hair was dripping wet because of Marcus’s stunt. With the back of my hand, I cleaned my face and without responding to him, I took Scarlett in my arms in bridal style.

Kia offered me the bag that she had prepared and I gestured to her to help me carry it as I was holding Scarlett in my arms.

I knew that my touch would only raise her heat so I had let Marcus carry her in his arms while getting to the pack doctor’s house. Perhaps that was one of the biggest mistakes of my life.

While running deep into the woods, I kept checking on her and her face was looking more spirited than before. Mating bond was healing the bruises that her body had on the hands and the legs.

Probably she had bruises everywhere on her body where the other men touched her. Asher touched her wrist to check her pulse and her eyes, she had reddish bruises there, too.

As soon as I reached the area which was forbidden for everyone because the pond was created by a Lycan King and werewolves weren’t allowed to use the things or anything which come under Lycans’ territory, I sighed and took a breath of relief.

She slowly opened her eyes as I went into the pond while carrying her and the water came in contact with her skin. “I…I’m feeling so hot,” she muttered and the sweat on her body made sense.

“As if you didn’t want it the moment you laid your eyes on her,” Todd provoked me when I prepared myself to mate with her and I rolled my eyes at him.

I looked down at her, she was staring at my lips and swallowing hard. She didn’t know that it was turning me on and probably I won’t be able to resist her. Before I could take any action, she circled her arms around me.

“What’s happening to me?” She whispered and licked her lips before taking her hands back and tearing her white top. “I…um…” she wasn’t able to take a breath normally, her voice sounded more like a moan.

Scarlett wasn’t able to understand her actions but she looked breathtakingly gorgeous and sexy with that breathless face and wild actions.

“You’re going into your first heat,” I murmured and wasted no time in claiming her plump lips. She responded back in no time, we knew that we belonged to each other.

I would never ever let any other man touch her.

When I licked her lips, seeking entrance into her mouth, she stopped kissing me and pushed me back. "Don't touch me."

"What the fu-k!" Was the only response that left my mouth. "Fine. I won't touch you until you beg me to."

I wasn't doing it for my sake either.
