'How dare you?"
Julian's menacing growl shook the ground below Ramla's feet, she couldn't register that when did he throw her on his shoulder and bolted out in an unknown direction.
He didn't bother the questioning gazes of his celebrating Pack members and indistinctive murmurs, and locked the door of his house.
Julian's two bedroom cabin was located in a warrior colony, there was a pin drop silence there at that moment.
His continuous growling and pitch-black orbs were the indication of his offended wolf, who was fairly agitated at the mere mention of rejection.
'Mine!"
Sensing his inner turmoil from his disturbed expressions, Ramla threw her bag on the floor and cupped his face.
'I have been waiting for you over a century, Julian. I swear, I have never loved anyone before.
Please give me a chance, I will stay loyal to you."
His roaming hands on her body livened a desire in her heart, her mouth was shut by Julian's passionate kissing.
Ramla left her reasoning aside and reciprocated to his advances, his iron hold almost cracked her bones.
'You will not leave me."
His wolf bit on her ear to whisper his demand, she circled her arm around his neck.
'Never, Julian. You are my mate. I will never leave you."
As soon as his wolf's distress evaporated by Ramla's assurance, Julian pushed her back, and grabbed her neck.
'Surely, you have plenty of tricks up to your sleeve, witch. I am not a pea brain to overlook your ploy."
He kicked her away in the middle of their moment and stomped out of the room. Covering herself with sheets, Ramla broke into tears.
'Mates are supposed to love each other, why do you hate me so much, Julian?"
Back on his duty, Julian was drinking nonstop to regain his exposure, his wolf (Bane) was growling at him.
'You are a thankless person, Julian. Shame on you."
Julian was flabbergasted by his wolf's perspective, which was changed overnight.
'She is a witch, Bane. Don't forget it."
Julian and his wolf shared the hatred against this kind from the very day one, this sudden revolution was out of his warrior's mind.
'Ramla is mate. She is not from the Ring fire coven."
Bane gave him a reality check, refreshing the terrible past in the process. Ring fire coven was a nightmare of the head warrior Julian, the ultimate reason behind his prejudice against the witches' community.
How he ended up in their territory, it was still unknown, but the heartless witches there used him as a slave from his early childhood.
'This should be done until dawn, dog."
Piling up the work above the strength of a ten-year boy and punishing him later was their daily routine and favorite hobby.
Julian spent his next four years as a test subject for magical potions and spells because the head of the coven's statement.
'This free load is of no use until adult age. At least, we can test the efficiency of our experiments in the laboratory."
Burning of those foul mixtures destroyed his systems, his agony was perceived as entertainment in the entire coven.
Witches took turns and made wrong potions deliberately to hurt him, scarring his soul for good.
One day, he was withering in pain in his cage, a panic-stricken witch announced in the dungeon.
'Burn this dungeon, we are under attack."
Julian closed his eyes and took a deep breath at the end of his misery, thanking the attacker for scaring those tormentors.
'So, there is someone in this world who can subdue these vile creatures."
Watching the flares of raging fire, Julian's heart was as peace. Suddenly, a silver wolf jumped into the burning dungeon.
'Rescue the slaves, no one should be left behind."
A naked boy yelled at the top of his lungs, directing other wolves to work. But that silver wolf grabbed his arm and threw him on his back, saving his life.
'Who did this to him?"
Julian heard a furious voice from above (as now he was on the ground), and raised his head. A young boy only in shorts was growling at the head of coven, who was trembling in chains.
'Remove the pins from her tongue, I want answers."
Alpha Eric's gaze was fixed at the half human and half dog, an open challenge to the Moon Goddess's laws.
'It's a nobody, Alpha."
That notorious necromancer was a scared kitten before that silver haired Alpha, Julian's nerves tightened due to the regal aura of that Alpha.
'Help!"
He tried to raise his voice for help, but only a bark came out of his mouth. This display darkened Alpha's face, he extended his claws and placed them at that witch's neck.
'Turn this boy to normal, I will spare your life."
'You have a good intellect, Alpha."
She quickly summoned her grimoire and performed the reversal spell.
'It was nice doing business with you."
Panting hard on the ground, Julian saw that woman escaping in the magical portal, every cell of his body screamed in desolation.
'No!"
Just then, a silver dagger flew before his eyes and punctured that witch's heart, killing her on the spot.
'There is no place for evil in my land. Execute these dark witches."
Eric's Alpha command was followed by screams and wails, warriors burnt all the witches in the town square with the help of nature servants.
'You are a werewolf, friend. Will you come with me?"
Julian stayed unconscious for a week in a hospital and recovered under the care of kind doctors. Alpha came to visit him in person, bearing flowers and chocolates.
'Yes, my savior. I will serve you with my life."
Living in the Silver Moon Pack as a warrior gave him a reason to move on, but the wounds of that trauma haunted him for a long time.
Julian was not a believer anymore, his god was Alpha Eric, the one who took pity on him and accepted him in his territory.
'What are you doing with that witch, baby?"
His girlfriend, Mara, visited him after the celebration, she covered her nose instantly.
'You are cheating on me, Julian? What about your promises? Am I a joke to you?"
She snatched that glass from his hand and splashed it on Julian's face.
'She is my mate."
His cold reply poured a bucket of cold water on her, she took a step back.
'So, this is the end of our relationship."
'No, Mara. You know that I love you."
He stood up and hugged her, but she pushed him away.
'You had sex with your mate, Julian. There is no room for love between you and me now."
Mara removed the ring from her finger and handed it to him.
'We are done, Julian. Good luck!"
She rubbed her eyes and ran away, giving him another reason to hate Ramla.
'This is because of you, witch."
He balled his fingers into a fist and punched the wooden table, breaking it into two.
…
'This is not fair, little one."
Happiness of Charlotte's recovery aside, Alpha Eric was upset with his Luna.
'It's just a business deal. Get over it, Eric."
She laid down on the bed, her body was touching its limits after that festivity. Eric sat beside her and held her hand.
'Why didn't you tell me about it? This was supposed to be our project, little one."
Charlotte smiled at the huffing wolf and explained with a peck on his lips.
'His Majesty was willing to sponsor my company's launch in America at a hundred percent profit. Why should I miss this, Eric?
After all, we are in desperate need of a financer."
Her attempt to cool him down didn't meet her expectations, Alpha was still angry at her.
'You also made an impressive report for that bastard. Alpha King praised his efforts for peace."
'So, you are fretting over it because you have a competition. Come on, Eric. Only you are the best in my heart."
Charlotte joked to lighten his mood, and tickled his tummy to gain his attention. But, Beta Noah knocked at the door, and informed from the outside.
"There's a news from the Lycan's Capital."
