“I said, stop the fucking car or I will jump out!” She snarled at me before she opened the door beside her. It was now slightly open, and if I based it on the expression on her face, she would undoubtedly jump out of it.
“Fuck! Wait, I will stop the car. Then we’ll talk.” I told her, in a calm manner. I was fucking terrified that she would jump out before I would be able to stop the car.
I slowed down and parked the car while she took off the sling bag she had on and her shoes.
“What are you doing?” I grabbed her forearm, but she just shoved my hand away and stepped out of the car.
I growled before I jumped out of the car and followed after her as she walked towards the forest line.
“Nadia, what the fuck are you doing? Where are you going? Come back here!”
“Go home, Riley! I will see you at the packhouse!” She yelled without looking back at me.
I grabbed her arm and swung her around to face me, gritting my teeth as I leaned my face closer to her. “Do you think I would let you go on your own? You don’t even know how to get back to the packhouse. Now get back in the car!”
“I don’t want to see you right now.” She pushed my hand away again.
“What do you want me to do so you’ll come home with me?” I brushed my hand over my face in annoyance.
This was fucking annoying already. I was so close to just grabbing her and hoisting her up on my shoulder, but I was trying to be patient with her.
“You can beg and cry, but I won’t still come with you. Now get lost!” She snarled at me before turning around and launching forward, shifting into her wolf right before my very eyes.
And I fucking couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
The she-wolf in front of me, springing away to the other side, was too fucking beautiful. Her fur was gray, melting into white towards her paws, and she was definitely bigger than a regular she-wolf.
I knew it. I smelled it on her. My mate is not an ordinary female. She must have Alpha blood in her. Not pure Alpha blood like Alba or Alia. But definitely from an Alpha bloodline.
I snapped myself out of my own thoughts when I couldn’t see her wolf anymore.
Fuck!
I went back to the car and turned off the engine before closing the door and sending a mindlink to my Beta to send someone to pick up the car at the location I gave him. I then took off my shirt and placed it in my mouth before leaping in the air and shifting midair, letting my wolf, Hunter, out.
Hunter would be the last one I wanted to face Nadia right now because my fucking wolf kept losing his mind whenever Nadia was around. But I needed him to track her faster. He seemed to have a nose just for her because he could sense her even from a great distance.
And I was right. In just a minute or two, I could already see Nadia in front of us. She was definitely heading somewhere further from the packhouse, and this just irritated me. She was so careless. She could be in danger because of her outburst.
It didn’t take long before Arrow sensed us. She stopped in her tracks and turned around to face us.
Hunter stopped as well and was about to growl at her when Arrow did it before he could. My fucking wild wolf lost his fucking tail and raised a white flag. Instead of growling at our mate, Hunter slumped down on the ground and whimpered, surrendering to Arrow.
And my beautiful Arrow couldn’t hold back her anger. She lowered her head and started licking Hunter, and I couldn’t help but smile internally at their interaction before Nadia’s emotions came surging in through our mate bond. She was pissed off at her wolf.
From the looks of it, our wolves were angry with each other’s humans, but they could never be angry with each other. In the end, they ended up playing and flirting with each other—rolling, licking, and sniffing each other out.
And as much as I wanted to talk with Nadia, I let Hunter have his time with Arrow. I contented myself by watching them while waiting for Nadia to shift back to her human form.
I wanted to mindlink her, but I didn’t want to disturb our wolves. So I just stayed quiet until Hunter shared a thought with me from Arrow.
Nadia was jealous. With Andrea.
My heart jumped over my chest at the thought of my mate harboring feelings for me, but it didn’t change the fact that I was still not ready to tell her about Andrea yet. I didn’t think she would be able to accept that part of me knowing I was the same as the man she was running from.
But I wanted to give it another try at winning her over.
‘Can we talk now?’I finally sent her a mindlink when Hunter told me that he and Arrow were ready to give us back control.
