Chapter 12

Alina ran out of the room, heading downstairs towards the source of the noise. Already, Laura was already tensed up and the only thing holding her back from taking over was Alina. First off, Alina needed to see what was really going on and to access the situation before she decided if Laura could take over or not. Alina got to the club and what she saw left her in shock. Dead bodies littered the floor and there was the unmistakable smell of blood wafting through the air. Alina was used to it all but yet, she felt nauseous as she stared at them.

Laura growled within her, alerting her that there was danger around. Alina looked up, trying to see where she could be attacked but there was nothing out of place. The only thing that seemed to be around her where the dead bodies. Laura growled again, this time more fiercely than before. The next moment happened in a flash and nothing could have prepared Alina for what happened next.

Right before her very eyes, Laura took over, breaking the final restraint that held her in place. She lunged at a figure coming behind Alina with a fury Alina didn't even know she possessed. The figure shifted into a big black wolf that was bigger than the average wolf Alina had ever seen. The wolf stood up on its hinge legs, towering over Laura but still, the Alpha wolf didn't back down. She snarled, swiping the black wolf on the face.

Just then, the black wolf stopped its assault on Laura, rising up as it sniffed the air. Laura backed down, staring at wolf with a suspicious look. The wolf shifted back into a human and for the first time since Alina came into existence, she was dumbstruck. Standing before her was the most handsome man she had ever seen. The man she just fucked couldn't even be compared to the god she was seeing. He was all muscles with chiseled abs that put the most dedicated gymnast to shame. He had a rough stubble and Alina knew it wasn't left there on purpose. He was tall, almost hulking with a face that looked like it had been carved. Laura was speechless as they both stared at this god-like creature.

Laura rescinded hold as she shifted baxj, allowing Alina to come forward since the man was no longer a threat. The man sniffed the air again, this time, growling with appreciation. He liked what he saw and Alina did a mental whoop in her head. Just then, there was a sharp pain in her chest which propelled her towards the man. She didn't know what it meant but whatever it was, it had to do with the man.

"Mate." Eric growled.

For the second time within minutes, Alina was dumbstruck once again. She stared at the man as the pain grew much stronger. Eric touched her arm lightly, feeling a zap of energy oulse through her vein.

"Is that what this is? This pain?" Alina croaked.

She was trying tio stay strong but she was failing miserably as the pain intensified. Eric stared at her, sniffing the air again. He knew there was something special about the she-wolf but he couldn't quite place his hands on it.

"You're fighting it, stop fighting the pull and allow it to flow through you." Eric said.

Alina relaxed a bit, breathing in more easily than before. He was right and for the first time since she met him, she was herself. She heaved a sigh of relief, stepping back a bit. They stared at each other, sizing the other up. It was confirmed to Alina that this man standing in front of her was her mate. She had seen the look in his eyes and Laura had confirmed it too.

"My name is Eric. Eric Carter."

For a minute, Alina thought she was hearing things. She couldn't quite believe she was standing in front of the renowned billionaire and what's more, he was her mate. It was so hard to believe but yet, it was really happening. Eric Carter was her mate and there was nothing she could do about it. If she tried to fight, sje could very well end up loosing all her powers which was something she didn't want happening.

"Alina. My name is Alina Martins." she said.

"Alina." he breathed.

Hearing her name on his lips did wonders to her body. Her heart raced as she continued to stare at the man. Eric walked towards her, taking her in his arms. He cupped her cheek before placing his lips on her's.

Alina's world exploded and she knew there was no way in hell shs could ever leave this man. This was her peace, this was the man whom she was destined to be with and she wouldn't have it any other way. Eric deepened the kiss, sending Alina to a land she didn't know existed. They broke the kiss soon, with both gasping for air.

"You're Eric Carter? The billionaire?" Alina gasped.

"Well, i try to keep up." he said, flashing a megawatt smile.

"Oh my gosh!" Alina squealed.

"Calm down. I have to ask this though, Alina you have three entities in you?" Eric asked.

"Yes, i do. I hope that's not a problem?" Alina sighed.

"As a matter of fact, I love it." Eric grinned, sliding his hands around her waist.

"Phew! I thought it was going to be a problem." Alina chuckled.

"No it isn't. I think i should reintroduce myself. My name is Eric Carter, Alpha King of my pack and you Alina, you're my mate." Eric grinned.

"Has anyone ever told you you're beautiful?" Alina said.

"I get some advances from time to time but right now, my eyes is only on you." Eric grinned.

Alina kissed him, biting his lower lip which made him growl in delight. As far as she was concerned, nothing would make her leave his side. She ws stuck with him for life and she had a feeling that he felt the same way.

"We need to get out of here, i can still sense danger." Eric said.

"I don't understand all these. Is Augustus Frederick behind this?" Alina asked.

"There's a lot you need to know Alina." Eric sighed.

They walked out of the club, hand in hand. At that moment, Alina knew her life was about to change. She couldn't wait to see what it held because for the first time in a long while, she was confident about where she was headed.

"Where are we going?" Alina asked.

"My mansion, i need to explain everything to you." Eric said.

"Okay."

"Welcome to my world Alina Martins."
