Chapter 11
Amara’s POV
After a 5 hour drive, we have reached Night Blood pack territory. It’s a known fact that they have one of the largest territories in our region, comprising around 1500 wolves. It’s a really big pack, twice in size of my pack. Having shortage in medical facility must have been a nightmare for them.
I can see the beautiful landscapes from the windows. It has lush forest and meadow like trees. I can see the outline of magnificent mountains. It’s slightly drizzling outside. It is undoubtedly heaven on earth.
I was missing my pack already. Throughout the drive, Mason was humouring me with chit chat. Even Joe spoke to me politely and shared that he is one of their worrier and his mate is really beautiful, who is 5 months pregnant. He is happy that finally she can get proper medical attention now.
Despite of having such an obnoxious Alpha, Mason and Joe seem like great people.
I can feel Zachary’s gaze on me time to time.
Sometimes it’s so intense, I feel my body burning up.
He has his chosen mate, Michelle or whatever right?
Why in the hell is he behaving weird. But then, I don’t care about stupid Alpha Gray anyways.
Then, I get a call from Ethan, regarding Joni’s treatment plan. He was returned from a run I guess, seeing him all sweaty and shirtless. Suddenly I heard a growl mixed with deep rumble from backseat. I guess it’s coming from none other than the brooding Alpha himself.
“Joe stop the car” he ordered.
Joe pushed the breaks. I can feel heat oozing out from Zachary’s body. I can feel he is in some kind of pain and fighting his wolf for control. His eyes switching between blue and black.
“What is it Alpha?” Mason asks. I can see the confused look on other two men.
“I need to get down here. You guys go ahead. I will join you after sometime” with that Zachary got out of the car and started shifting mid air.
He turned into this big black wolf with lightning blue eyes.
He is majestic, I have never seen a wolf this big in my entire life.
Then he ran towards the forest and disappeared.
I was awestruck by the sudden change in his behaviour. What might have caused this, he lost control on his wolf. That is very rare for an alpha. Joe started the car.
“Mason, What was that about?” I asked.
“I really don’t know. I guess his wolf wants to shift in his own land” he is clearly concerned but manages to cook up a lousy reason.
We all heard loud howls from distance. It’s from Zachary I feel. They were filled with pain and frustration.
“Mate is sad. He is in pain” Eva says, she is reciprocating her own sadness.“I don’t care and he is not our mate” I reminded her.
In about 5 minutes, we reached their pack house. Mason gave me a detailed tour of the pack house.
The pack house is a grand structure with a rustic log exterior and a wide, wrap-around porch that blends seamlessly with the surrounding forest. Inside, the main foyer is spacious with a vaulted ceiling, leading to a large living area featuring a massive stone fireplace.
The dining room and modern kitchen are designed for communal meals, while the upper floors house private quarters with breathtaking forest views.
The grounds are meticulously maintained, with gardens and recreational spaces for training and community activities.
There was still no sign of Zachary. I got little worried about him though. I had dinner with Mason. Then we moved towards the guest room section.
“This is your room Amara. I have already moved your luggage here” Mason stated, opening doors to a cozy yet comfortable room.
It has a queen size bed, a work station, an attached washroom and big windows.
It is quite big for a single person. But I was not planning to stay here at pack house.
I don’t want to live under the same roof as Zachary.
“Mason, can I ask you for a favour?” I asked softly.
“Anything. What is it?” he sounded genuine.
“Umm. I want to live near the pack hospital. Will you be able to arrange that?” my voice pleading.
“Why? Don’t you like this room?” disappointment clear in his eyes.
“Not at all. This is cozy and wonderful. But it would be more comfortable and easy commute, if I stayed near the hospital. Please Mason” I replied.
“Okay. I will speak with Alpha once he is back. We have a 2 story house near the pack hospital. I will get it ready for you before tomorrow evening” he assured.
“Thanks Mason. You are the best” I thanked him from the bottom of my heart. I can’t actually explain him how happy I’m right now.
“Get some rest. I will take you to the hospital tomorrow, after breakfast. Good night Amara”
“Good night Mason. You too rest well” I replied with a smile.
After washing up and I changed into my comfy clothes. I was exhausted from the journey. For about an hour I kept thinking about how Zachary left us in the car. I wonder what made him lose him control like that. Without even realising I drifted off to sleep.

Zachary’s POV
I returned to the pack house late in the night, my body still tense from the forced shift and chaotic run.
I can’t create such a scene again. I have to get hold my feelings and my wolf.
I know my doings have lead Aiden fall off the threshold.
I have to be careful from now on. I want to be better version of myself. For me, for the pack and for Amara.
The thought that Amara was here, in my own house, was almost too much to believe. I made my way through the quiet halls and stairways, heading straight to my room. I went straight to my washroom.
The sound of the shower drowned out the chaotic thoughts in my head, but as the hot water cascaded over me, I couldn’t stop thinking about her.
Amara, in my pack, under my own roof, it was as if fate had given me another chance. My mind raced with memories of her. Her scent, her smile, the way she looked at me with those piercing green eyes. My body reacted, I felt hot and my cock began throbbing as a reminder of the desire I felt for her.
I started to work my hands on my shaft, just the thoughts of her are making me go crazy.
“Fuck, Amara” with a shameless moan, I spilled my semen. I thought it will relieve me but, it was a temporary fix for a deeper longing.
For a wolf who found his mate, there’s nothing more satiating in the world than his own mate.
I was not a virgin or anything but, I haven’t had sex with anyone else since I met Amara, four years back.
I occasionally relieve myself as I did tonight with her thoughts. Do I sound creepy ? May be I am one.
“You are in love my friend. Why don’t you admit it. That way it will be a lot easier for me to have my mate too” my wolf purring.
“Why don’t you just give it a rest today?” I retorted.
I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, grappling with the intensity of my feelings. How could I ever take Michelle as my luna when every fiber of my being screamed for Amara? It wasn’t just physical, it was something much deeper.
Amara was the one for me, the one who completed me in ways I hadn’t even realized before.
I knew what I had to do. I had to make Amara forgive me. I had to win her heart, prove to her that she was the only one I wanted, the only one I needed.
The thought of a life without her was unbearable; it wouldn’t make any sense. She had to be mine and I would do whatever it takes to make that happen.
With this newfound resolve, I felt a sense of calm. Tomorrow would be the start of my mission to win Amara back. I know it was not easy, since she clearly hate my guts. But I’m ready to take one step at a time.
I will wait for her for an eternity if required. She was my destiny, and I wouldn’t rest until she was by my side.
