13. Nonsensical Fit

**Desiree’s POV.**

I moved away from his neck, the amount of blood rolling down from the wound was very unsettling and if it continued like that, he would lose all his blood. If he was a wolf or stronger creature, it would have healed by now. Not surprisingly, they did not teach things like this in school and even if they did, I probably was not paying attention or maybe, my father’s guards were obstructing my hearing.

“Desiree, I feel weak”, his voice came out weak and slurry as his eyes threatened to close up. Not knowing what to do, I quickly grabbed his nape and pulled him towards me, I licked his wound up, hopefully closing it in the process. A wave of relief washed over me when the wound sealed up, finally making Harrison mine for the rest of our lives.

I moved him to the boulder so he could sit down- it was obvious the bite had taken a harsh toll on him by the way he was breathing harshly, “Are you okay?”, worry was laced into my tone, if anything happened to him, I would never forgive myself.

He nodded, “I am fine”, he bent his head down so he could show me he wasn’t lying but what I saw left me gasping and gaping like a retarded fish,


“Goddess”, I managed to breath out while looking deeply into his beautiful eyes. They were the most astonishing thing I had ever seen in my life and if I thought his former eye color was mesmerizing, I was highly mistaken. My bite had somehow changed his eye color into the most beautiful shade of bright purple I had ever come across. It was also hard to miss the light silver flecks that were arranged specially in them. “Your eyes”, I whispered,

“What?”, he looked at me with narrowed eyes, “What do you mean by my eyes?”, his panicked expression only made his eyes glow brighter- his eyes made my mother’s look extremely dull. Not knowing how to explain to him, I took out my phone and took a picture of him before handing it over. His confused face turned to a shocked one, “They changed color?”, he pointed out.

“Yes, I am the Luna Princess so me choosing you makes you the…”, I let out a sigh, “I really do not know what you are”, a small laugh left my lips and he reciprocated it,

“I know what I am”, he smiled, “I am yours”, he stood up from the boulder and leaned towards me, giving me a kiss on my lips, “You are mine”, he kissed me again, “And I love you”, my cheeks turned red. Was this how people usually felt when the person they loved loves them back? Was that why my parents always made googly eyes at each other ever time?

A twig snapped, coming from the east- where I was coming from and that was not all I heard, I could hear series of footsteps coming from that angle. They were still at least a few trees away but I knew they were coming, they had tracked me down and for one, I knew exactly who was leading them- my father.

I grabbed Harrison’s hand quickly and mouthed, “Run”, before he could question me, I dashed toward the opposite side of the footsteps that were now picking up and trailing us. The grip I used to hold unto Harrison was deadly but he was still lagging behind. I felt tempted to put him on my back but, that would make him feel weak and would definitely leave a scar on his male ego.

I heard a loud howl commanding me to stop but I kept pushing. There was nothing in this world that could make me head to my father’s call, it was deadly- I could tell by the tone he had used, he was in no mood to meet my newly obtained mate.

“Desiree!”, I heard his voice say in a loud growl, “I command you to stop”, my wolf fought her father and alpha king’s command, she knew this was a life or death situation for both us and our mate.

“Desiree”, I heard Harrison pant from behind me, “You should stop”. I turned back to look at him incredulously,

“He will kill you”, I screeched at him,

“I am tired, Dez. I am not like you”, he breathed out, “I can’t go any farther”. Truly, he looked extremely flustered and tired, like he had run a marathon but I on the other hand still had a lot of juice left in me. The adrenaline that pumped through me was unrealistic, all that was in my mind was to escape my father and get my mate to safety- far, far away from him.

I still had no idea of what Harrison was but I somehow knew that my father would never appreciate his presence in the Werewolf Kingdom.

“Desiree!”, my father called again, he was not too far from me but I knew he would eventually catch up. With a sigh, I came to halt and directed Harrison to stay behind some bushes.

“Do not come out or move. If you do, he would hear you. In fact, don’t breathe if you can”, I whispered to him and he nodded his head in agreement. I moved away from the bushes and ran a few meters further before I let him catch me.

“What did you Desiree?”, he growled once he caught up with me. I put on a poker face before placing my signature smirk on my lips,

“I did nothing father”, I denied,

“Do not fucking lie to me princess”, he yelled, taking a few steps closer to me. He was moving into my safe zone but I did not let my strong demeanor waver, I had to be strong- for Harrison.

“As I said before, I did not do anything”, I repeated, “And even if I did, you have no proof”, I was so sure of myself that I had protected my love properly. My father was here with me so I was hundred percent sure that Harrison was safe, the guards would never be smart enough to search the surroundings.

Unfortunately, I had spoken too soon and that was when my smirk wavered. My brother, Alec and Uncle Fredrick appeared and behind them were guards- a dozen of them and with them was my mate who tried to struggle out of their tight grasps, “Look who we found trying to escape”, DJ announced to my father.

My eyes met with Harrison’s and they widened. My body became rigid, my teeth and nails elongated, I let out a loud hiss at my brother.

My father turned away from me and looked at my mouth for a moment before letting out a loud, rumbling, earth shattering growl, “Human!”. My eye became wider and I looked at father before turning to Harrison, his head was turned to the ground in defeat. It was not possible, humans were extinct- centuries ago, how was it possible for him to be a human? Was this why he was so secretive with who he was? “Bring him to me”, my father commanded.

The guards pushed Harrison towards my father but I could not do anything, I stayed frozen to the spot. Harrison was a human? It explained a lot, but still, Harrison was a human?

“Who are you?”, Harrison said nothing, “Where are your people?”, he stayed silent and I could tell my father was getting impatient, “Answer me human”, he spat at him but he was still mute, “Answer me!”, my legs moved on their own accord and in a second, I was in front of Harrison, letting my father’s claws dig through the material of my shirt and my skin. Wheezed out in pain but crouched in front of Harrison on the ground as my wound healed.

I turned my head to look at my father who was staring at me in confusion, his eyes were narrowed and his eyebrows were furrowed. A few seconds later, his eyes widened in realization, “No”, he whispered, “Desiree, what did you do?”,

“I love him dad”, I confessed. His face hardened and he gave me a scowl,

“Nonsense. Guards, seize this imposter”, he said and the guards took him away from me,

“No!”, I yelled, “Leave him alone”, tears burned my eyes as I begged. I ran towards him but was immediately pulled back by my father, “Tell them to release him. He did nothing wrong”, I tried to struggle out of his impossible grip and failed miserably.

“I will teach you a lesson Desiree. I will also make sure you never forget it”, I growled into my ears, “You are a very defiant child and you will be punished for it”. That was the first time in my life that m father had ever threatened me in such a manner. He sounded so cold, I felt chills run down my spine, the hairs on my neck stood at attention and I felt goosebumps trail over my skin. Had he always been this scary?

“Re-release him”, I stuttered but my father ignored me. I turned to DJ and Alec, they should be able to help me, right? I would do the same for them after all. “Please, DJ, Alec, help me”, I said with pleading eyes. DJ gave me a look that said he was disappointed with me and looked away but Alec stared me down with a hardened expression- was he angry?

Soon after, Alec turned his back on me as well. Bastards! After all I had done for them. Lying for them. Taking all the blame when it was really their fault. This was how they repaid me? What a way of showing gratitude.
