Chapter 36

Episode 36

Location:The woods.

Kara's POV.

"Hello kara Dugan…"He greets,I scoff.

"Believed I'll find you here" he smiles.

His perfect and hypnotic charms are ineffective towards me.

He seems pretty acttractive. He's well built, muscular, perfectly heightened and good looking but all are dormant towards me as the man I crave is a whole hotter and sexier than him.

Damien's features, cuteness,charms and attractiveness are twice his.

"What's is it?"

Am in worse mood for chit chat from a living devil" I visibly express hatred.

Damien's unexpected harsh behavior remains a blow to my face and chit chattings from his devilishly brother are my least desired events.

"Pretty harsh kara…" he leans besides me.

His tough fragrance collides my nostrils, urging terribly I question the products name and details.

"The dark devious prince from red blood. How dumb it is conversing a hunter princess" I broaden our gap.

Feels wrong but seems best all rage,hurt and negative feelings are adverted towards his devious smirking face.

"Sassy tongue isn't it…." He chuckle's seductively.

"Why do I feel undesired rage and negative feelings averted towards me?" He moves closer.

What's up with him?. Is this a test or seduction practice.

Uncomfortable with his excessive closeness,I seek refuge beneath a shady tree after deserting the lake bank.

"Uncomfortability I see.." he chuckles towards me.

Damn it!.Damien was wrong. Drake ain't evil or devious,he's pretty annoying!.

"Anything wrong princess?,do I make you uncomfortable?"

He pins me to the tree.

His arm leans on both edges, denying me escape.

"A response princess.." he moves further.

Another move and we're literally kissing

"Certainly not!" I break free the seducing position but quickly he pulls me backwards, wrapping both arms around my waist.

"Oh my.." I gasp at his unexpected action.

Attempted escape tightens his annoying grip.

Now he's greatly pissing me. Who does this to a non mate or non soul mate

"Great princess because you were pretty fun and less sassy at our first encounter" he trails words down my neck.

His hot breaths warms my skin and moaning urge arises.

What seduction is this. I gulp.

"And you were less annoying and pevertic!" I locate my voice.

Honestly,he was less annoying and less pevertic. I mistook Damien's warnings for his feigned attitude and now he's a pretty bastard.

"Pretty cool you took me good before and annoying now because your perspective towards me is certain to change after our conversation" he mumbles wierdly.

"What conversation?" I gulp.

Hope it shouldn't be his horrific childhood history. Am fed up with saddened experience for the day.

"An advice princess…" His eyes glows.

Location: The woods.

Drake's POV

Kara's expression at my so called advice was superb,exceptional and anticipated. Her fright gladdens Ryker and I.

"Our advice purchases enough time for mate hunt and coronation right?" Ryker finally speaks.

"Coronation Ryker, our mate is known, claiming alone remains" I specify.

"Isn't it wierd you know our mate but never have I experienced our shared mate bond and connection?" He inquires,I ignore.

Dumb and irrelevant questions earn mute responses.

"Am an alpha you know…!" I warn the trailing hunter or huntress.

He or she requires more training,his or her trailing scent collides my nostrils miles away.

"Certainly I do Drake dark.." a female Huntress spin land before me.

Show off. I scoff.

"Am Alex…" she introduce.

Alex. Kara's pretty best friend. She's pretty hot for a huntress. Grey eyes, light skinned,curly haired brunette,average height, busty and overall extremely curvy.

"I know you. Kara's lunatic best friend and source of Tyson grey's blood bath birthday" She smile's.

A killer smile though.

Feels black eagles female Huntress's are inches pretty as red blood she wolves.

"One wrong. Kara's ex best friend".

"She chose your goody two shoes brother over me" she explains.

"Regardless that am lunacious as your perspective" she grins.

"Oops….".

"Hurt dosent it?. Loosing something or someone rightfully yours?".

"Lost to an unworthy and undeserving opponent" I leap up a tree.

"Certainly it does,I'll attain lengths to earn my rightful possession and position!" She morph her fist.

What badass she is. Devious as ever. She's obviously my female version.

"We aren't all different are we?" I toss her a forest fruit.

"Seems so.." she easily catches the fruit.

"Same reason for this woody visitation" she grabs my attention.

Woody visitation over personal similarities?,that's something new.

I hop down the tree.

"What news, price or offer have you pretty?" Slowly,I advance her.

My presence intimidates her not,she's one badass. More bad ass than kara.

Kara's pretty bad ass but Alex is on a premium level.

"We both know the offer Drake,you're no dumb ass are you?" She returns the intimidating stare.

Black hunters are freaking fearless. A lone huntress challenges an alpha,what courage!. No doubt over the last centuries they remain most feared, fierce and most respected.

"Certainly I do" I play along.

"Certainly you do after all the enemy of my enemy is my friend" she quotes.

"Rid Damien isn't it?"

"Certainly it is!" She giggles deviously.

"How then can that be achieved?" I test her iq.

I work not with dumb asses.

"Quit test Drake,his departure your achievement,his departure my achievement" she wriggles the fruit.

Pretty smarter than expected, she'll emerge reliable for paterniship.

"I know of the thirty days trial between you both and you know of my broken friendship. Assist ourselves and we emerge victorious" Her eyes observes my neutral expression.

"Also my source recorded Damien with four days more. His shortned time functions along side our favour" she toss and catch the fruit.

Isn't she superb?. A source,a spy,a researcher,heart hardened and determined huntress,she's obviously my feminine version.

"Within these four remaining days we maintain them from themselves and when exhausted, Damien losses the throne and find zero reason loving or mating kara so they finally depart and we earn our love ones and desired positions. Once again I'll earn Kara's friendship and trust and the alpha throne will be all yours" she explains.

"How sure are you Damien loves kara because of the alpha throne?"

"The mate bond is an unexplainable powerful force,it's pretty indestructible and impossible to break". I explain,she smiles.

Smile withholding deviousness and appropriate response to my every questions.

"Twenty six years have Damien lived,never did he search his mate. Twenty six years he remains single but at the verge of the thirty days trial,he searches and encounters kara,how absurd is that?.it proves ingenuie love and feigned mate bond" She exclaims.

She's got a point. Damien since childhood remained happy and mateless but at dad's death he scurries the world for his mate and Luna. Kara's obviously a pawn within his little game and his last missing piece to success.

"You're right,their feelings are ingenuie, it'll disperse after the lost throne and four days exhaustion" I claim.

"You're pretty wise and smart as anticipated" she compliments.

"I get that alot" I boast.

"Powerful paterniship it'll be Drake but remember our advice to Kara earlier today handled everything" Ryker reminds.

Obviously he's right,our so called advice to kara built enough obstacle between herself and Damien for the next four days.

Worthless and unprofitable paterniship will it be with Alex.

"Your plans great Alex but seems I literally handled everything" Her expression cringes.

It withholds curiosity towards my last words.

"My advice to kara earlier today handled everything" I specify.

"An advice?,what advice?" She drowns in confusion.

"That's between kara and I but least assured it handles everything and maintains them apart for about four to seven days" I proudly state.

Her expression holds disappointment but instantly brightens at another explanation.

She's pretty persuasive.

"Likewise you,I handled Damien yesterday but our paterniship remains important to ensure maximum separation and detect any irrelevant closelesss" she unviels.

"You handled Damien yesterday?, how so?" I ignore other words.

"Showed him a video of kara screwing her child hood friend" she chuckles deviously.

Who in the world is she?. Her scheme's, plans and iq are superb. If a she wolf, undoubtedly she'll emerge my mate.

Pretty smart of her extending their separation.

"Well that explains his sadness and quietness yesterday" I mock.

"We both handled them but there's a sixty percent charge of their reunion before the forty days extension" she persuades.

"I doubt so Alex, my advice to kara was pretty clear and sound" I maintain my ground.

Kara wouldn't dare restrain my advice,it was the perfect advice to maintain her heart pumping.

"Kara's our least problem, Damien is the major threat. Despite his ingenuie love he may overlook the video and again seek kara for the throne. Our paterniship is required to prevent such. We both know Damien can never be subdued by you nor the pack members but the hunters can and there our paterniship is important and required" she explains.

Honestly,she's got a point. Damien alpha throne obsessive,he likely may ignore the video and again seek kara thus ruining our hard work and separation techniques.

Also he can also be subdued by Hunter's. Betas are weaklings before him,a roar and they're on their knees. Alex's pretty important within this mission.

"Whatever, you've earned a new partner" reluctantly I agree.

"Wise choice Drake, certainly you deserve that alpha throne" she states.

"Obviously I do" I grin.

"Your phone?" She requests.

"What for?" I reluct.

"Your contact duhhh!, we'll need stable connection. Unlike Damien and kara regular meetings within the woods ain't save" she blurt.

Never did I think of such. She's pretty wise,smart and observant. Our paterniship and assistance definitely will earn me the alpha throne. Victory smells close and time alone is the inevitable obstacle.

"Here you go.." I hand her my phone.

"Done…" She returns the phone after inserting and saving her contact.

"We'll be in touch.." she sprints without a goodbye.

"Certainly we will…" I whisper.

Location:Red blood pack

Mrs dark POV.

Leaning uncomfortably on the sitting rooms couch,I anxiously and impatiently await Damien's return.

Anxiety source my thoughts as feelings remains confused,mixed and combined.

Their reconciliation returns his happiness. Happiness I forever wish he experience but negatively threatens my life. It threatens my status and soul within this earth.

Oppositely,their separation saddens his life. A life never I wish he experience but positively maintains my life and status.

This is all messed up and unprepared for.

"Quit thoughts Roseline,us first and others behind" Lydia persuades.

She's centered on our survival and least concerned about Damien's happiness.

She persuaded this taunting act from the very beginning,I doubt she's my birth wolf. My birth wolf as remembered was caring and jovial.

"Am your birth wolf Roseline,only a smarter version" she chuckles.

"Quit judgement and unnecessary confusion,our fake mate plan returns his happiness,it's not completely stolen" she defends.

"It's an ingenuie and forced happiness!" I judge.

"But it's happiness,isn't it?" She scoffs.

"I vividly recall your words against forced happiness on Drake,why the sudden change towards Damien?" I ask.

"Our lives weren't at stake then,now it is and I'll remain first!" She maintains her decision.

"Speaking of the heartbroken alpha,here he comes!" She announces.

Obvious it went awful,his expression explains it all.

Saddness and hurt roams his gaze. His once powerful aura weakened and drained. Obvious they remain separated.

"Damien..".

He spares no glance and walks past me.

"Let him be,he needs time. He may go all alpha on us and am unprepared for death before the major crisis arrive" lydia advice.

Selfish but right,he obviously needs time alone, time to process everything,the hurt and heartbreak.

Regardless that am unprepared against a raging alpha.

Idleness for now seems his only solution.

"Remain safe.." I watch him bolt his room door after entrance.

He obviously deserve and require hours or even days alone. I return to my room.
