Chapter 47
Bryan's POV
I walked out of my house with nothing but the determination of getting my mate back. Walking towards the woods across from the house, I stayed in human form deciding to walk there seeing as it was only 11:00 am and I still had an hour until I was meant to meet Luara.
Walking through my pack clearing I noticed a few of my patrol wolves pacing up and down the border, before crossing I let them know that my Beta is in charge until I get back which would be later on today.
They nodded and bowed their heads respectfully before continuing their jobs.
Once I passed my territory line I felt the pull and change of air as I entered no man's land. I knew it would have been safer to shift but I honestly couldn't be bothered so I instead kept all my senses on high alert.
I soon noticed that I was getting closer to Luara's father's territory. I then spotted a beautiful medium-sized brown wolf lying near the edge of the border and immediately recognized it as Luara by my wolf impatiently pacing in my mind barking at me to hurry up.
As I continued to approach, I watched as she quickly rushed behind the nearest tree so she could shift back to her human form.
I leaned against a tree a short distance away from where she last stood, her scent still lingering in the air making my wolf restless.
A minute later she came out from behind the tree and I stood still as she slowly approached me, stopping a distance of about 5 steps between us.
I looked over at her outfit slowly taking in what she was wearing making me growl in appreciation before lifting my gaze away from her body and to her eyes giving her a distant look.
Luara bit her lip making me mentally groan as my focus shifted to her lips but I ignored all of my instincts to reach up and pull her closely to my chest and instead folded my arms.
Her body was leaning to the left, she was twiddling her thumbs a sign of anxiety. It wasn't an uncommon emotion that I've seen when I've been in the presence of other wolves even humans; I didn't have a reputation for no reason but it wasn't an emotion I wanted my mate to feel.
Luara's POV:
"What did I tell you Luara? My mate will never leave me and I meant it. You've had far more than enough time to see your family and say goodbye. And now your time is up."
Bryan suddenly grabbed my hips, throwing me over his shoulder and walking towards his territory.
He ignored my protests and his grip tightened, but never hurt.
Not my screaming, kicking, or punching made a difference or use.
"This is kidnapping!" I claimed, Bryan only laughed amused.
"It's not kidnapping if you like it."
I rolled my eyes, and he suddenly moved his left hand to my butt, letting it linger there.
"You better remove that hand before I remove it for you." I warned as an embarrassed blush sported my cheeks.
"No." I could hear the smirk in his voice making my hormones go into overdrive, but my rational side was furious.
"Put me down," I whined, and Bryan soon removed me from his shoulder, holding me in the air, my feet dangling down not touching the ground. His face was inches from mine; I could feel his minty breath fanning my face as he stared deeply into my eyes.
"I gave you the time you asked for and now you're coming home with me." His voice was stern and serious.
I huffed at him but before I could say anything else he once again chucked me over his shoulder and continued walking.
I pursed my lips slightly at his stern answer; I didn't want to hang upside down for the whole journey.
"You're going to make me sick, motion sickness and all." I said, hoping to persuade him to let me down and walk there instead.
I've never denied that I didn't want him; he was just too possessive.
He paused for a second at my request and hesitantly placed my feet on the ground but not before looking me in the eyes for a few seconds.
"Don't attempt to run, I will catch you," he said, before leaning his head into my neck, placing a kiss on my mark making my whole-body shudder before whispering "that's a promise.".
I nodded stiffly, still buzzing from the feeling of his lips on my skin and wanting more.
He sent a cheeky smirk my way before grabbing my hand in his and pulling me in the direction of his territory.
We held hands as we walked back to his territory through unclaimed land, where rogues were free to roam.
Rogues are wolves that have either left their pack or been kicked out. They were ruthless, soulless werewolves who don't care about rules or authority.
When we finally made it to Dark Apollo's territory, Bryan's Beta Andrew met us by the border. He welcomed me back, before telling Bryan about something to do with the pack business.
I was never interested in all of that, so I began walking in the direction of the house only to have my mate stop me.
"Where are you going?" He questioned, his eyebrows furrowing as I turned around.
"To the house?" I replied but it sounded more like a question.
"I'm coming with you." He said before looking at Andrew muttering that he would talk to him later.
Grabbing my hand once again, he began guiding me in the direction of his home and into the kitchen. When we walked into the kitchen, standing in the middle of the room were Tiannah, Thompson, and Benson. I frowned with confusion at their presence.
"How did you get here, before us?" I questioned.
"Oh you know, stole a car, went for a joy ride then got pregnant and walked here after buying food." Thompson replied chewing on Doritos.
I rolled my eyes and shook my head as Tiannah provided me with the real answer.
"We took my car, dad said it was okay." I smiled at my best friend, I was so happy that she would be in the same pack as me. I would have missed her so much if she hadn't found Benson, well if Benson hadn't found her.
We all spoke for a while before Thompson said that he needed to go home.
"Time for me to go now if that's all Alpha?" Thompson said, looking at his Alpha for permission to leave.
He got a nod in reply before he waved at us and left the room.
"Yeah, it's about time Tiannah and I left as well. I need to show her around before it gets too dark." Benson said.
Bryan nodded and I smiled reassuringly at Tiannah who looked unsure of herself, clearly anxious about staying at her mate's house for the first time.
"We'll talk tomorrow." Bryan said to Benson before they left, leaving me alone with my mate but before either one of us could say anything my phone rang.
I smiled happily as my brother's name flashed on the screen; I was pleased that I remembered to put my phone in my shorts when I was preparing to meet Bryan.
"Hello?" I answered putting the phone to my ear. My brother Maxwell started rambling about something stupid; I was practically rolling my eyes for the first five minutes of his phone call while Bryan stood on the opposite side of the kitchen counter frowning at me.
"Do you know where Kenneth put my X-men boxers, I like, really need them."
"No." I said scrunching my face up with the expression of 'what the hell' before letting out a small laugh at his ridiculous question.
"Well if you do, then tell me. I really need them and I can't find them!" He whined like a five-year-old, he was thirteen years old, and he was devastated at the news that his X-men boxers have gone missing.
Not that his sister is now living in another territory and that he was ringing to tell me he was missing me.
"Yeah, love and miss you too Maxwell." I replied, before pushing my phone back into my pocket and looking toward Bryan, who looked down at me with a frown.
"That was my younger brother," I confirmed not that he had asked.
He smirked, "I know, I wouldn't let you speak to another male like that if they weren't family."
I smirked back, wanting to see how far I could tease him.
"I mean, he's not really family just a close family member that I nearly dated."
Bryan's head quickly swirled over to mine, his smirk no longer there. I bit my lower lip and decided to make him chase me. I knew I shouldn't have teased him, or wound him up but I was enjoying it.
I raced up the stairs and into his room, but unfortunately, I didn't have time to close the door.
He was suddenly holding me by my arms as he held them up with his hand in the air against the wall.
We were both breathing hard, his eyes darkened as they stared deep into mine, his wolf in control.
His body was pushing against mine, and I pulled myself even closer, wanting to feel every inch of his warm skin flush against mine.
I knew I shouldn't have teased him that way, but our skin touching was making my body feel as if it was burning and the urge to have him closer was physically agonizing.
Bryan nestled his head into my neck, nuzzling his nose against my skin to calm down. He was trying to control his breathing, inhaling plenty of my scent in the process only for him to freeze and lowly growl, gripping my waist impossibly tight almost crushingly.
"You're starting your heat." Bryan lustfully growled from the depths of his throat and the next thing I knew my back was laying on the bed, with my hips pinned down and Bryan towering over me; his green eyes darkened with desire.
