The Love of a Lycan

"Hi, stranger," the girl said merrily, as she lay sprawled on top of Calleb.

"Hi, mate," Calleb answered her in a disoriented voice. He felt like he was daydreaming, that this was not real, not to mention the moon goddess gave him the second chance.

Meanwhile, the girl's voice was like the Beta's favorite melody that he had not heard for a long time. The kind of sound that could shatter your being and shake your soul.

The beast inside of Calleb whimpered, trying to get out and see their mate with its own eyes. It wanted to mark her regardless anything, to claim her as his, not wanting something like what had happened to their previous mate happening to her again.

Yet, fortunately, Calleb still held the control over his beast, thus that kind of situation wouldn't entail. It was not a good first impression to bite your woman on the first meeting itself.

However, Calleb found himself unable to move, he was held captivated by the charm of the girl on top of him. Her smile was blinding, demanding every ounce of his attention, as the Beta couldn't take his eyes off of hers.

They stayed like that for God knows how long, until a grunt disturbed their tranquility and brought them back to the reality that they were not the sole existence in this universe.

"Both of you, can you move aside for a bit, please?" Though the voice said 'please', anyone who heard him could say for sure that he was pissed. "I am trying to heal over here, but if you keep pressing me down, I am afraid my bones will not heal correctly." 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

Only then, did Calleb and his newly found mate realize that the two of them were not the only people, who had fallen down the stairs.

The girl's blush and the red tinge on her cheeks, immediately spread to her neck, as she moved off of Calleb groggily.

But, for the Beta, she looked very cute even when she was embarrassed like this. Something inside of him stirred. A feeling of pride and a desire to protect, took root in every single vein in his body.

Somehow, this feeling overwhelmed Calleb. Maybe it was the result of being able to taste how it felt to lose a mate, therefore, he felt the rush of protectiveness toward her.

"Are you okay?" Calleb asked the girl, whose name was still unknown. "Are you hurt somewhere? Do you want to see a healer?" He bombarded her with questions, disregarding the person that both of them just used as the landing mattress to take their fall.

"No, I am fine. I am sorry," the girl said, shaking her head, yet her eyes were glued to Calleb's curiously.

"Hey, you should ask me whether I am okay or not," the man was a young warrior, who was unfortunately knocked off by them while walking under the stairs. "I feel like I have broken a few bones," he complained.

"No need to be so dramatic, you will recover just as fast," Calleb said in a grumbling tone, but his focus was still on his mate.

The girl in front of him had beautiful long curly, dark- brown hair and a dimple was made visible on her right cheek whenever she smiled. It was very adorable. Calleb felt a desire to give a long kiss on her cute dimple.

Behind the two of them, a certain warrior was still grumbling, while holding his injured arm and walked out of the room, staying away from the two of them. Yet, his annoyance didn't even have much effect on Calleb and his newly found mate.

"What is your name?" Calleb asked the most basic question that he could think of right now, aside from the urge to mark her right there and then.

"Arabela," she said.

"Arabela," Calleb repeated her name and the name beautifully rolled off his tongue. He loved how it sounded when he said her name. "I like your name."

==============

"What? What did he say?" Raine was feeding Aurora when Calleb called her all of a sudden and informed that he found his second chance mate.

The first person that came into his mind when he found Arabela was Raine. He wanted his Luna toknow about this before anyone else. He didn't even think about telling this to Torak.

Of course, Raine was excited and happy beyond words. She was elated, yet the following information that Calleb told her made her frown.

"Why wouldn't Alpha Rodrigo let her go to our pack?" Raine gave Aurora to the a female werewolf there to be fed, while she walked away to have an uninterrupted conversation with Calleb.

"He said that his pack lacks members, thus I should be the one to move to this pack instead," Calleb said in an irritated tone, while staring daggers at Alpha Rodrigo in front of him. fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m

Meanwhile, the Alpha looked nervous when he heard Calleb saying that. Originally, he just wanted to have the Beta join his pack. Of course, having Calleb around was a big advantage for him and his pack, but he didn't know that the situation would turn very tense like this.

Alpha Rodrigo started to regret his decision.

Not to mention that Calleb didn't even bother to confront him further when he rejected his permission to take Arabela away. The Beta didn't talk much and immediately called the Supreme Luna.

It was bad, but it would be worse if the Supreme Alpha also got involved in this tangled situation. Everyone knew how the Alpha spoiled his Luna.

"That's ridiculous!" Raine growled. She despised anything that stood in Calleb's way to get his happiness.

"That's what I thought," Calleb agreed calmly, while intertwining his fingers with Arabela's. He knew he would win this argumentation, hence there was nothing to be worried. "I have every right to bring Arabela to our pack."

A spell of silence followed his words and Calleb could imagine what kind of expression would Raine make right now.

"Give the phone to Alpha Rodrigo," Raine hissed viciously and this made Calleb smile knowingly. He knew Raine would take care of this matter for him. "How dare him to act like that!"
