"Because you're too slow, William! Hurry up and give your mate a sign, so that everyone knows that she's yours!"
William's emotions were already peaked just by seeing Chirs with Anna. Hence, it was easier for Ares to incite his mind to behave like this toward his mate.
And now, Anna was afraid of him!
"I want to be with Chris! He's nice to me! Not like you, who's so scary!"
Like a thunderbolt in the daytime, hearing this from Anna was enough to make William's heart hurt.
William should have been more careful because his mate's personality was easily scared of anything! Especially someone angry with her!
I don't know what kind of trauma Anna was going through. So, she begged her parents to speak softly to her, and not show a harsh face.
"Anna, I'm sorry ... It's just that I don't like seeing your wet clothes being seen by other men," William said.
"Then, do you think only you can see this?"
This time, William could not answer carelessly. He had to string together the right words for Anna to understand what he meant.
"Never mind, I'm cold and want to change. Where are the clothes you want to bring?" Anna said that while her eyes were not looking at William at all.
Honestly, this was the first time she felt weak when looking at William's blue eyeballs. Those eyes were so beautiful! So beautiful that it lulled her.
No! Not just his eyeballs, maybe his whole body!
Oh, my! Anna, what were you thinking? Aren't you mad at him?
For some reason, ever since she and William swam together in the lake, her heart seemed to be screaming to always be near William.
However, Anna didn't want to ignore him. She thought she was just admiring William's good looks.
"Anna, why are you so quiet? Isn't your body cold?" William's voice snapped her out of her reverie.
William had given her a shirt, and it was already in Anna's hands.
"Ah, yes! Thank you." Anna immediately took a small run into the wooden house. More precisely, the room she had stayed in last night.
The Alpha's handsome blue eyes glanced at Chris, who had been staring at him.
He approached Chris, who was standing not far from him. "Beta, I apologize ... Perhaps, my possessiveness is slowly starting to show," he said.
"No, Alpha. You don't need to apologize. It's not unusual for werewolves to be possessive of their mates." As a wolf pack, it did not matter to them.
William should have marked Anna. So that the whole pack would know that Anna belonged to him. However, William could not be rash. He had to think about the feelings of Sheline, who had been his lover for years.
Although the wolf inside him was very aggressive. And Alpha gave Ares the understanding to respect Sheline's feelings.
"Chris, what if Sheline finds out that Anna is my mate?" William sat his butt on the chair in front of the log house and was followed by Chris.
"That's difficult. Sheline loves you very much, Alpha. She would die for you." Chris–Beta recalled the incident ten years ago when Sheline rescued William, who had fallen from a very steep cliff. Not only was it steep, but it had also entered the border territory of the Vampire clan.
The death of Alpha's parents left him with nowhere to go. At that time, Alpha, who was in a chaotic state of mind, ran without knowing the direction and even forgot that he had crossed the border of the Vampire clan.
While talking about Sheline, there was a scream from the direction of the wooden house. Making William and Chris immediately panic. They both ran quickly towards the wooden house.
"Anna, open the door! What's wrong with you?" William banged hard on the wooden door. His face was already panicked, afraid that something had happened to his mate.
The brunette girl opened the door. She lowered her face and fixed her eyes on the dirt floor.
"Why did you give me these clothes?"
William tapped his forehead. Stupid! He forgot that he didn't have any clothes for women.
Those clothes were his when he lived in the human world. And they were still neatly stored in his closet.
A short-sleeved shirt with a picture of a naked couple. And also his boxer pants.
"Chris, that shirt was a birthday present from my best friend back in the human world," he said to himself.
Hearing that, Chris immediately widened his eyes. Why was Alpha so careless?
Surely, after this, Anna will think of him as a masher!
"I'd rather wear my old clothes!" Anna felt annoyed at William. How could the man of her dreams have such dirty thoughts toward her?
"Wait, Anna ... You stay in the room and lock the door. I'll find some clothes for you!"
With such incredible speed, Anna wondered why William could run that fast.
Anna looked at Chris. And Chris could guess what Anna was thinking. "William did win the race," he replied casually so that the brunette girl wouldn't be suspicious of him.
Meanwhile, the handsome Alpha had arrived at the residence of the old werewolf couple. They were Omegas who had been very kind to him. Ever since Alpha was a pup, the Omega couple had treated him well.
"What's wrong, Alpha?" asked the worried Omega, seeing Alpha's panicked expression.
"Omega, can you give me your clothes from when you were little?" he asked.
"My clothes? Why do you suddenly want them, Alpha?"
"I'll tell you later. For now, give me your clothes. Because it's urgent!"
"Okay, Alpha. Just a moment ...." Omega went inside her house and took out the clothes she had.
About fifteen minutes later, Alpha returned to the wooden house with the clothes Omega had given him.
And he immediately gave it to Anna without saying anything. Honestly, he was still embarrassed by his carelessness.
"Chris, you should go home. And tonight, get ready to go to the meeting," William said.
"Okay, Alpha. Anna definitely won't be mad. Just take it easy." Chris carefully calmed him down.
Chris said goodbye to William. And William waited for Anna, who was changing her clothes. Hopefully, the clothes from Omega would look good on Anna.
Ten minutes later, the door to the room opened. A beautiful brunette girl with hazel-colored eyes came out of the room with her face down.
William was moved to look at her. Instantly, his mouth opened naturally. He gazed at his mate, who was completely mesmerized by Omega's long jasmine-patterned dress.
"Whose dress is this?" asked Anna, who was also staring at her dress.
"Belongs to ...." William stopped his words for a moment, thinking of a suitable title for the Omega. "old granny! Yes, it was hers when she was young!" he continued with a face full of confidence.
"Old granny? Doesn't she have a name?"
"Name? Hm ... Her name is ...." William repeatedly stopped his speech. All this time, he did not know what Omega's name was when living in the human world.
"I'll ask her later," he added, "oh yeah, I'm going to the show tonight. Is it okay? Are you alone here?"
"To a show? What show is it? Can I come?" Anna didn't want to be alone in this wilderness. She was afraid William and Chris would leave her.
"Come?" William thought about Anna's request. What would happen if she asked him?
That would complicate matters. The Vampire clan's scent for human blood was keen. He did not want Anna to be targeted by the Vampires.
"You can't, huh? Well, that's fine. If there was a television here, I wouldn't be lonely if left alone," said Anna, who suddenly missed her favorite television series. Every day, she never missed watching that television show.
Where is television in the wolf world? William let out a long sigh. It had been decades since he had seen television in any form, even if it was still on a tube. Perhaps, now, the television in the human world was very sophisticated.
"You're coming," he decided.
Hearing that, Anna immediately blinked her eyes. She was very happy to be invited by William. Her resentment just disappeared.
"William, what should I wear?" asked Anna with an enthusiastic look on her face.
"Clothes?" William didn't even know what Anna should wear.
During the meeting, he and his pack were shirtless. Only brown pants and a bandana characterized the werewolf pack.
William was currently forced to wear the clothes requested by his mate. He was rummaging through his clothes that he hadn't touched in a long time!
"I'll find them for you, nice clothes," William said. Although he didn't know who he was lending them to.
The only one who had nice clothes was Sheline. But could it be that Sheline would lend them?
"William, I'm hungry." Anna held her rumbling stomach. Since getting lost, she hadn't touched any food.
"Hungry?" William cursed himself for forgetting one thing, that Anna hadn't eaten since yesterday.
"I'll find some venison for you," he said.
"Venison? What do you mean, are you kidding?" Anna was surprised to hear that. How could she eat venison? "I want fried chicken," she continued.
Anna was a very picky girl when it came to food. She could only eat chicken. She doesn't eat beef.
"Fried chicken? Gosh, i haven't had it in decades."
For a moment, Anna digested William's words. "William, how old are you?" she asked with a confused look on her face.
She thought William was only two years older than her.
Idiot! Again and again, William misspoke. He turned his gaze in another direction. What other excuse could he use to make Anna believe him?
"I misspoke. I mean, three years ago," he corrected a minute later.
"How about we go to my house? There's lots of delicious food there!" the brunette girl invited.
William smiled and his hand moved to stroke Anna's hair. "I can't. They need me here," he said.
Anna, who was treated so sweetly by William, blushed. For some reason, she couldn't stand being treated like this by him.
They both looked at each other. That moment of looking at each other happened again. This time, both of them were equally lulled.
Ares, who was in there, repeatedly whispered to him to kiss Anna directly on the lips.
"Sorry, Sheline," he murmured.
William's feet were getting closer to Anna's. His hand held Anna's chin. Moreover, seeing Anna's response to closing her eyes made his arousal even more intense.
Finally! Anna and William's lips touched each other. At first, William hesitates to play with Anna's lips.
However, seeing Anna open half of her mouth, William's tongue went straight inside Anna's lips.
Skillfully, it circled Anna's teeth. The girl could not return the kiss as it was her first kiss. As a foreign girl in her hometown, who would want to date her?
William's hand, which had been holding Anna's chin, now moved to her back.
He had been waiting for this moment. Where he and his mate could make love with a burning passion.
Was today, he going to mark Anna? No! William, you must restrain yourself as much as possible. Surely, Sheline will see the mark on Anna's neck. William doesn't want anything to happen to Anna. Because Sheline is a werewolf with a strong personality.
"William." Anna turned her face to the right. She wanted to finish the kiss. She felt this was wrong.
"Don't be like this. I don't want to be the destroyer of other people's relationships," the brunette girl said.
"Anna, can I be honest?"
"Honest? About what?"
"I like you."
William's words shocked Anna so much! How could such a handsome man like her be? When other men never saw her as a woman.
"I know, I was wrong. Because I have a lover. I'll talk to Sheline to end this relationship." William was getting more and more lulled by his kiss. This time, he would openly love Anna. Because she was destined to be with him.
"No, William. Sheline doesn't deserve to be disappointed like that. Your feelings for me are only temporary. Soon, I will return to my home. And we can't meet again."
However, William could read Anna's mind. He knew very well if Anna didn't mean it.
The word separation traumatized her. And William vowed to stay with Anna. Even if Anna still rejects him later. Perhaps, as a last resort, William would soon mark Anna. And make her unable to stay away from him.
"But do you like me too, Anna?"
