Two days later
Location:Black eagles hunters clan
Kara's POV
"You don't intend sneaking to your all lovable lake do you?" Alex questions, dizzily hopping down the bed after observing my wierd and early morning hastiness.
Yeah,she spent the previous night at the royal cottage,an offer once declined but eventually accepted.
"Certainly not Alex,I intend undergoing my morning routine jogging,we both know maintaining hot, sexy and bootilicious body are one amongst my major specs" I lie.
"Oh great,you mind I tag along?" She ask, heading towards my wardrobe.
"I really am sorry Alex but tagging along ain't possible" I lie, ransacking suitable lies within my blank head.
Where's one's f**king intelligence when desperately needed. I grunt.
"Why so?" Expectantly,she questions, arching her perfectly craved brows.
"You're without luggages and clothes,you don't intend jogging within your revealing nighties,do you?"I ask, a nasty expression evolving my face.
"You lend some, We frequently lend stuffs and our clothes are similar sizes" she presits.
"Forgot mentioning am short on yoga pants,earlier the previous day,they were assigned to the laundry mistress for proper and adequate hygenic washing" I brew deeper lie, denying her access to my wardrobe.
"Oh" she mumbles, realization dawns on her.
"Am really sorry" I apologise, pretentiously feigning hurt.
"Nah.....,it's alrighty,am a hundred percent okay, continuing my smooth nap seems best"she exclaims, blanket covering herself after leaning on the bed.
"Safe jogging" she wishes, gradually shutting her eyes.
"Why the delay, commence your jogging,go maintain that bootilicious curves " she grins.
"I'll return early babe,I promise" I assure,chin pecking her before exiting the room.
"Lake,here I come" I mumble, strategizing excellent sneak out methods.
"Oh dumb guards, patiently awaiting my day of reckoning,my day of unsuccessful sneak out" I chuckle, successfully bypassing an unaware patrolling guard.

Location:Red blood pack
Damien's POV
"We both crave her presence,her alluring hot vanilla and strawberry stinch brews beautiful and giggling butterflies within our stomach but what really are your intentions heading down the lake today?" Ryder questions.
"Conversing Kara, obviously" I scoff, adjusting my T-shirt collar before the huge mirror.
"Yeah we crave and desire Kara's presence but aren't you more troubled by her departing words during our previous encounter?" He questions, sounding extremely serious.
"Troubled?,what for?" I requestion, feigning ignorance.
"Quit terrible pretence and ignorance Damien,we both recall getting threatened two days ago by same huntress you intend seeing. Guess am yet to mention this but I don't intend dying,not now and never within the nearest future." he huffs.
"Her threat wasn't genuine Ryder,they obviously weren't from her genuine state of mind. She was enraged over the death of the teen huntress we murdered during her rescue" I explain.
"Explain such to our enraged mate" he scoffs.
"Scoff your lungs out Ryder,it changes nothing, we're both heading to the lake regardless the associated danger and neither you or anyone switches my intentions" I chuckle, heightening his continuous mummurings.
Since childhood,he's been a pretentious wolf, continuously forgetting we both share and experience similar feelings,either positive or negative. He feigns rude and tough rather his all softie and gullible heart towards Kara frequently ruins and exposes his pretentious nature.
Huffing undesired past off my head,I leap down my heightened window, hastily diverging into my secretive route towards the woods.
"Limited time before death" Ryder continuously whisper, intentionally fustrating me.

Location: the woods (the lake)
Damien's POV
Arriving before the steady flowing lake, eye roaming and scanning the area,a huge frown eludes my face.
Sniffing continuously while striding the entire lake,my unhappy frown broadens, ruining expectant hope.
"Something seems off right?" Ryder mentions, experiencing similar wierd and suspicious feelings.
"Yeah, something definitely seems wrong,a familiar but wierd stinch currently revolves the atmosphere rather the shore appears empty and habitants void" I explain, gradually leaning against a shore spot once shared by Kara and I.
Thoughts relating her bestows undesired sadness within Ryder and I. Despite sounding unborthered,the sadness buried within frequently taunt's and haunts Ryder. It haunt's us both and earning her undying and powerful trust seems our only antidote.
"I made a mistake didn't I?"
"A mistake shielding our genuie and true nature from Kara,from my mate,it was a dumb decision right?" I ask, earning deep heaves from him.
"Wasn't the perfect decision but you routed such path beneath essential reasons, reasons beneficial to us all" he exclaims.
"Was my worst decision Ryder,it ruined our relationship with our mate" I regret.
"Quit wierd and dumb attitude Damien,we both feel her undesired departure,it's associated hurt and extreme pain but you chose such route not for selfish reasons rather for her very protection and at the expense of the alphas throne. Saying this feels both wierd and hurtful regarding her being my mate but if she fails recognizing and accepting your actions and it's reason then definitely,she dosent deserves our love" he finalizes,stuffing hard encouraging words into my ears.
"Thanks alot" I force smile.
"Thought werewolves had enhanced senses and hearing abilities?" A familiar voice booms, enlightening my gloomy and darkened expression.
"Certainly we do" I reply, stopping mid air a whistly arrow.
"Seriously?" I ask, tossing the broken arrow towards the voice's direction.
"Yeah seriously" she chuckles,safely hopping down a sycamore tree.
"You don't wield that all day do you?" I inquire, staring wiredly at the black coloured crossbow clutched within her tight grasp.
"Of course I do, you don't expect I pay unarmed visitation to a werewolf,my kinds greatest and most despised creature" she grunts, flaunting the cross bow.
"Impossible believing you once earned my heart" she face palm.
"Hasty advice, observe your steps,the grounds are werewolves trapped?" She smiles.
Ignoring her warnings,I proceed questioning the recent popped up question bothering my thoughts.
"I once earned your heart?" I ask.
"what currently am I to you kara?" I arch a brow, shortening the distance between us both.
"Why are you here Damien?" She ignores both questions, shielding desperately her emotions.
"Am here for general relaxation,am currently undergoing my limited lesiure?" I lie.
"Your turn,why really are you here?" I ask, ruining her facial expression.
"I literally own here,I discovered this shore,you encountered me here,oh right,your pevertic nature led you here" she mocks.
"Quit lies Kara" I mock
"I ain't lying" she defends.
"Certainly you are,your expressions and nervousness ruins your pretence" I mock harder.
"Okay whatever,I lied,I came here hoping to experience and feel your presence" she opens, avoiding eye contacts.
"She cares" I laugh victoriously
"She f**king cares" I laugh harder.
"Quit dumb acts Damien, we're both different species,you a Werewolf, I a huntress,co-exitence between us is impossible and threatening you seems best,it's for our safety both" she explains.
"Safety from what?" I foolishly ask, enraging her once caled temper.
"You still don't get it do you?,you're yet to view the future from my point of view" she chuckles wiredly.
"From my dad Damien, safety from my dad,there'll be no hesitation ripping your head if eventually he uncovers our frequent meeting,he's unstoppable Damien, regardless your alpha abilities you're no equal against his combat skills and unlimited experience"she explains.
"Same way you mentioned Kara,your point of view not mine, similar to you I solely believe a positive work out in our relationship and your assistance alone emerges such reality" I exclaim, hardening her enraged grip around her cross bow.
"You.. you..you nitwit!, don't you get?, co-exitence between us is impossible and neither you nor I can change that. Guess threatening your life seems best compared to mere friendly conversation" she huffs, slamming her blonde hair across my dumbfounded face before heading towards the lakes route.
"No Kara wait up!" I call.
"I've got answers about my undetectability and your wierd howl!" I scream, halting her hasty step's.
"That wasn't a howl Damien,it was an excessively loud frightened scream" she defends, earning huge scoffs from me.
"Quit ignorance Kara,we both knew that wasn't a scream and regardless that,am a Werewolf,an alpha,I recognize a howl whenever and wherever heard" I state.
"Whatever Damien,you intend explaining your undetectability or judging me all day seems best?" She scoffs.
Kick-ass attitude,one amongst her coolest personality pulling me nuts. I thought.
"Damien!!" She calls, snapping me back to reality.
"Your explanation and answers to your undetectability!!" She orders, staring expression cringed at me.
"Er...rmmm, regarding that,the answer seems pretty obvious,we both are one, that's our answer" I blurt, stylishly gazing towards her deeper cringed expression.
"One?" She chuckles, anger and fustrastion laced.
"That makes no sense and possesses zero solution to the question" she blarbs.
"Think through it Kara,am your mate,we both are one,am your missing half likewise you my missing half signifying I am part human so...."
"Being akwardly part human and incomplete werewolf makes you undetectable by the werewolf detector" she concludes, realization gradually dawning on her.
"Well that's totally absurd" she once again scoffs.
"Absurd?,what better explaination have you towards my undetectability" I ask, gazing expectantly at her dumbfounded and clueless self.
"Listen Kara,am a werewolf and you the huntress. Regardless your clans excessive studying and readings on werewolves,we know ourselves better. I know myself,my abilities, capabilities and limitations,I explaining our mate bond resulted my undetectability ain't any guess ,it resulted from combination of my numerous abilities and knowledge on werewolves,so I'll advice you accept it on adventure on personal and unfriendly research" I finalize, earning huge defeated sighs from her.
"Whatever Damien,you don't intend skipping my wierd howl right?" She whispers, shyly twinging her fingers.
"She's curious and inquisitive" I mock, earning deadly glares from her.
If really looks could kill, certainly I'd been a lifeless corpse.
"You responding or not?" She huff's.
"Well,same reason princess,we both are one,am your mate, a werewolf,your missing half, frightened at my genuine appearance temporarily triggered your roar" I explain, earning unsatisfied nods from her.
"Spill it out princess,your inquisitive appearance appears visible" I urge.
"How's that's possible?,I doubt that" she questions.
"Well am an alpha Princess,an alphas roar alone affects me and you a human roared an effective roar,no doubt you tapped from my powers using the mate bond" I explain, observing her relaxed and less inquisitive expression.
"Okay, thanks alot for the explanation and doubt clearance" she appreciates, heading for the lakes exit.
"Wait a sec,you leaving?" I ask, grappling hold her departing arm.
"Yeah,of course" she responds, arching a brow.
"But hat ain't fair..” I whimper.
”we crave ourselves Kara,We need ourselves,the mate bond is driving me nuts, permitting your is impossible" I plead.
"I really am sorry Damien but coexistence between us is impossible,guess permitting my departure seems best" she states, slightly slipping from my grasp.
"No Kara,that's impossible,the mate bond is extremely powerful to reject. Stare into my eyes Kara,stare into my eyes and claim you despise me likewise the matebond" I dare, pulling her closer.
Heaving deep breaths, flinging her hazel eyes open,she blurts the words.
"Yeah Damien,I despise you and reject the mate bond,I desire nothing relating you so letting me go seems best because I feel totally nothing for you" she heart stabs, breaking free my grasp before exiting the shore, abandoning me rejected and shattered.
