DAWN (Manxboy)

WALK

Online class is stressful😭, but anyways here's a new update. Enjoy🥰

"Leave us."

His baritone voice made it clear that his command was passive -agressive. There were no room for argument. Dressed in a symbolic robe Erik could almost strip his mate naked and mark his entire body as his, but he knows that the boy was still in a fragile state. He's not ready

He approach the terrified creature in steady motion, but for Seth it looked like a predator stalking his prey ready to pounced at him. Seth retreated to the corners but before he could do so, two huge hands manage to grab his waist and locked him in an inescapable embrace.

Seth's instinct kicking in, he panicked and struggles to unwind himself from the sudden close contact with the alpha.

"Do not struggle, my love..." Erik said close to his ear causing Seth to stiffen. Not only was his voice so deep, his breathe brushes to his ear. "I will never hurt you. You're mine. My treasure. My luna."

"I am not your Luna!" Seth suddenly said as he heard his remarks as if he was a possession. An object that can be claimed.

"I will never be your Luna! I can't be yours... I... I... I already have someone I love!"

A lie.

Seth didn't have a lover.

He wanted to spite the alpha in hopes that he'll give him up if he thinks he belongs to someone else.

And of course it backfired.

Werewolves are very possessive when it comes to their mate. Their mate is not just a partner, it is their other half. The missing piece that fills the void inside their heart. Losing them would result to insanity and would become a lost rogue. Nothing but a mindless monster whose mind thinks of nothing but spilling blood... But of course Seth doesn't know that unfortunately.

Erik erupted a loud growl that made the whole pack howl in return. Seth who did not know the weight of his lie had carried and could only tremble in his arms that refuses to let him escape.

"YOU WILL LEAVE THAT MAN! OR I WILL HUNT HIM MYSELF!"

Terrified he froze still and could only looked at his angry eyes. They weren't their usual black orbs. They've turn red. In so much shock the poor lad fainted in the alpha's arms, and Erik manage to calm himself after the intense bloodlust. He felt his beloved loosing strength and realized he must have fainted.

He contemplated from his actions and cursed himself from scaring his beloved. He knew he was lying, but the image of Seth being with someone else's made him loose his sanity.

"FUCK!" He muttered to himself.

Now Seth lay rested on the soft fur. His breathing seems even and his body relaxed. Seeing his peaceful state made the alpha calm himself down. He leans close to his mate and observe his features.

"Why do you steer me to oblivion?" He asked to the unconscious Seth. Although he knows he would not get any response he couldn't help but ask. This mortal was his mate. The moment he saw his running in the woods he was feeling of mix emotions.

Disappointment.

He has a weak mate. He thought that this certain mate would now be his downfall for having such a frail partner.

Anger.

He was planning to reject his mate after severing the bond, but... Something change the longer he stays with his beloved.

The smell of tears....

As he playfully pretends to fall behind. Fear was evident, and his heart ache knowing he was the cause. A feeling which he finds peculiar. He was never familiar with these emotions, and he misunderstood it at the beginning.

And lastly, he was entice by his mate.

Curly hair as yellow as the sun. Eyes as green as the rainy forest. And skin as smooth as a rose. We was indeed a beauty, and with that he was thankful to the Moon Goddess.

...

He did plan to kill him that night, but something change as he locked eyes to the frightened Seth. So helpless he couldn't help but have the urge to protect him.

'Mark him!' His wolf screamed.

'What?!' Erik asked feeling confused.

'We cannot harm our mate! Must protect mate!'

His wolf tried to take control but he manage to keep him at bay. Indeed killing him would be a waste.

'Should I make him my slave?' he asked himself. 

He was okay with that idea and when he grab the frightened Seth he felt urge to take the young boy this instant. With all honesty he was about to, but stopped himself after facing the terrified look on Seth's face. Confused of what he was feeling he decided to take Seth in the pack and then decide what to do.

But one thing for sure he can't mark a mortal.

A concubine would be acceptable...

'NO! ONLY MATE AND NO ONE ELSE!'

But of course that's not what his wolf want. Erik and his wolf both desire Seth. A burning passion of knotting the boy makes him hard with just the thought of it. But Erik also has a responsibility for his pack. Marrying a mortal is uncalled for in the Lycan clan, especially being an alpha himself. There were a lot of contradictions so he just brought the scared boy back to his pack, and then decide what to do with him. However, he was soon beguiled by his mate. No matter how much he resist, he couldn't.

He knew the boy's answer when he would ask Seth to be part of the pack.

"No! I refuse to be part of your pack!"

Those lines are already ringing inside his head. Even without asking Seth, he knows what he'll say.

It was the main force that prevented him to be gentle towards his mate. The poor lad was already agitated with the situation, and the alpha treating the boy poorly made an impression to the rest of the pack.

'The alpha must have rejected the mortal'

'Of course he would. It would only bring shame to our pack!'

Erik knew the situation was getting out of hand. When Seth kept asking to be returned home he would simply answer him no. Denying his mate the liberty to be free, he felt a pang of guilt inside him. Another emotion he never once felt. But the moment when one of his fellow pack mate tried to attack him, he knew then that he would loose all rationality if he were to loose the boy.

Without giving Seth much of a choice he gave him two options:

Either he dies or become his mate.

Those two biased options was his only choices. Of courses Erik wouldn't actually kill him. It was only a threat to pose him dominance and a clear message.

Be mine. Only mine.
