Chapter 10 Daxon POV The alpha training wing was quiet . Too quiet . Everyone else was out drilling or breaking shit in the field , but I'd stayed back . Probably the first time I ever listened to my old man when he said , " Take the heir role seriously . " Whatever . I was bored as hell and halfway through carving a dagger into the desk when it happened . I smelled her . Wildflowers . Fresh rain on scorched earth . Sweet cinnamon and heat . It hit me like a sucker punch to the gut . My wolf , Talon , let out a deafening roar in my head , so loud I actually staggered . " MATE ! " His voice exploded through me like a lightning strike . " What the .. " I swore out loud , eyes wide , body going rigid . I stood so fast my chair crashed backward . Heart racing , vision tunneling , blood pounding in my ears like war drums . That scent was everywhere , on the walls , the floor , in me . Talon went feral instantly . " SHE'S HERE . SHE'S OURS . " " Shut the hell up , " I growled , storming to the classroom door and yanking it open . Across the hall . I saw a glimpse . Silver and blue tipped black hair disappearing into the classroom . Elowen . Fucking Elowen . It was like someone threw a match into a tank of gasoline . 1/4 11:55 Mon , Sep 22 Chapter 10 Talon lost his damn mind . " CLAIM HER . MARK HER . NOW . " " I swear to the gods , I will muzzle your ass , " I hissed , pacing like a caged beast . This couldn't be real . Not her . Not the girl who never bowed . Never submitted . Who snapped back when I growled and stared me down like she had nothing to lose . The one I couldn't stop thinking about even when I wanted to . And now the scent was so thick around me I could taste it . The bond had snapped into place , clear and vicious and undeniable . Elowen Skye was mine . And I wanted to puke . Or scream . 64 Or tear something in half . Talon rumbled again , his voice deeper , almost purring now . " Perfect . Strong . Ours , Touch her and see .. " " I will punch us both in the throat , " I snarled , slamming my hand into the locker beside me hard enough to dent the steel . This wasn't supposed to happen . Not to me , Not like this . I was the alpha heir . I had a plan . I had control . 2/4 11:55 Mon , Sep 22 Chapter 10 And now fate had just bitch slapped me with the one girl I couldn't handle . Talon ? He was drooling like a lunatic . Me ? I was one breath away from losing my entire damn mind . And this was only the beginning . Elowen POV 64 The bell screamed through the halls like it knew I was about to lose my damn mind . My legs moved on autopilot , backpack slung over one shoulder as I shoved through the door of Wolf Pack Politica like I was escaping a warzone . And then ... BAM . The air shifted . Thickened . Crackled like lightning . I stopped dead in my tracks . So did he . Daxon Stormclaw , There he was , stepping out of Alpha Training like the universe had planned it this way just to mess with me . His golden eyes met mine . Locked . Loaded , Lethal . It was like the world just stopped breathing . The hallway blurred . The noise faded . All I could hear was the thunderous roar of Lyssira in my skull , screaming : 3/4 11:55 Mon , Sep 22 Chapter 10 " MATE . MATE . MINE . Ours . Claim . Now . Bite . Bite him NOW . " My breath hitched . 64 My whole body buzzed , heat pooling in places I had no business feeling anything for that smug , royal prick . But Daxon ? He wasn't doing any better . His jaw clenched , fists balled at his sides , chest heaving like he was holding back a beast . I could feel his wolf . I could feel him . My wolf clawed at my ribs , practically foaming at the mouth . " He's perfect ! The moon made him for us ! " " Absolutely ... fucking ... not , " I growled under my breath . Daxon flinched like I'd slapped him , then snarled , deep and low and entirely too primal . He took one step toward me . I stepped back . We stood there , two alphas , mate bond sizzling in the air between us like an electrical fire . Then , at the same time , like we'd rehearsed it in a past life , we turned on our heels and stormed in opposite directions without another word . 11:55 Mon , Sep 22 Hunted Hybrid Aegis War Saga 1 Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
