"You don't have to look at me like that," Cole muttered as he walked closer to the white beast who was staring at him fiercely. Not only that, the white beast stood guard beside Clarice and Knox's bodies, preparing to pounce on Cole if he did something recklessly.
Of course Cole wouldn't be so stupid as to do that, for he had seen Victor's futile attempts to protect himself and how magic was of little use to Aurora. She was indeed a true Donovan.
Cole must have heard of the Donovan noble family being unaffected by most curses, but this was the first time he'd seen it with his own eyes.
This was also one of the reasons why Cole didn't help Aurora before, because he wanted to see how Donovan's blood worked and whether their magic- resistant abilities were real?
And what he had witnessed, proved all that.
Cole then walked slowly towards Aurora, raising both hands. "Listen. I'm on your side, okay? I won't hurt either of them, I'll check on both of them." Cole tried to persuade Aurora to stop growling at him and let him check on Clarice and Knox.
It's just that, after what happened, of course Aurora would not believe the man in front of her just like that.
A warning growl echoed through the forest, forcing Cole to take two steps back.
"Okay, I'll let Draghar and the rest of the pack know that you're here," Cole said. He didn't want to lose his hand like Victor for forcing his will on Aurora.
Therefore, it would be safer for both of them if the alpha was here.
After saying that, Cole created a green haze of smoke and shot it into the air. Make a sign to let him know he's there.
The white beast was still wary, his eyes watching Cole's movements down to the smallest detail, because she still couldn't believe him. It could be the smoke as a sign to inform their presence to their enemies...
Anything could happen.
But, Aurora's anxiety doesn't seem to be proven, because not long after, she can smell her mate's signature smell. Draghar was running towards her and she could hear his frantic thoughts.
Aurora could feel all the uncertain feelings, anxiety, fear, inside Draghar's mind.
It didn't take long for Draghar to finally get to the place where Aurora was, along with dozens of other lycan warriors.
And the first thing that Aurora saw was the black beast jumped from the dark shadow of the trees and looked surprised when he saw her.
Perhaps this could be said to be the first time their beasts met and Draghar was fascinated by the snow- white creature in front of him, although blood from her enemy still lingered on Aurora's white fur, it didn't detract from the beauty of the white beast at all.
The white beast was so graceful, charming and at the same time so powerful and fierce…
How could all these contradictory combinations exist in one being? But, Aurora did. She was all those kinds of contradictions.
And it wasn't just Draghar who was fascinated by the white beast's figure, dozens of lycan warriors behind him looked surprised to see that as well.
This was the first time they had seen the figure of a white beast that belonged only to the Donovan family. And now they saw it right before their eyes…
Slowly, the black beast approached his mate and rubbed her face with his.
It was only when the two of them could feel the presence of their mate for real that the two beasts returned to their human forms, making the lycan warriors who were still gasping at the presence of the white beast there so shocked when they found it was their alpha mate.
This was wonderful!
Their Alpha, whom they thought would be rejected by his soulmate if he found her, turned out to be paired with a noble from the Donovan family. Not only was he not rejected, but it seemed that the woman genuinely accepted Draghar.
There was no way Draghar had kidnapped a Donovan. It was the same as declaring war on the Supreme Alpha.
And even if their pack was no longer in the supreme alpha's territory because the previous alpha decided so, that didn't mean they were capable of taking on Donovan's pack.
Of course this news would spread very quickly once they arrived at the pack house.
"Draghar ..." Aurora hugged her mate's body and felt the warmth. Letting Draghar hug her tighter, because that was what she needed right now.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Draghar's voice trembled when he asked this, he wasn't used to feeling this kind of panic.
"No," Aurora said quietly, shaking her head while Draghar wiped the blood that was still on her cheeks as well as her curly hair, grateful that it wasn't his woman's blood.
But, as soon as Draghar looked at Aurora's hand, he could see several wounds on it, one quite long on her arm, it looked like one of those damn traitorous lycans had managed to injure her.
Unknowingly, a growl escaped Draghar's lips, a dangerous growl that made the lycans behind him as well as those who were checking Clarice and Knox's condition, fell silent.
"I'm fine," Aurora said to Draghar, then pointed her finger at Clarice and Knox. "What about them?"
Draghar then turned his attention to Cole who was still standing far from them. What was the witch thinking?
"What do you do there?!" Draghar shouted at Cole.
"Your woman won't allow me to come any closer," Cole replied, he then smirked at Aurora, but the girl was still glaring at him.
Draghar who finally realized what happened immediately explained briefly to Aurora. "He is my Gamma."
"Gamma?" Aurora frowned. "Are you sure he's not a traitor?" Aurora didn't even bother to lower her voice and let Cole hear it.
"Hey, I meant to follow you all the way here because I was worried about you," Cole defended himself.
"But, you didn't help me at all," said Aurora.
"Because I know you can handle them just fine," Cole replied nonchalantly.
