My Destined Werewolf Mate

The night was growing darker and mystified with every passing minute. The intense nightfall breeze along with the sound of owls hooting aloud all around was clearly echoing the entire area.

After slowly regaining her consciousness, Eva breathed heavily, trying to open both her eyes, blinking them softly. She could sense both of her arms were crossed behind her back, tied hard with a rope. As she peeped her eyes, she could see herself lying down amidst deep dark woods on the grass facing sideways.

Her legs were free as she could move them a little bit. But her body seemed much heavier with an unknown tingling pain all over. Her mind was still feeling dazed and puzzled. The back of her head where she was hit was throbbing with a palpitating sensation which was quite difficult for her to endure. 

But as soon as she gazed at the front, in the middle of such a dark forest, she could see a thick pile of timbers and sapwoods being arranged just a few steps away from her. As soon as she tried to look at the woods curiously by raising her head a bit up from the ground, she could hear dense footsteps just behind her as if someone came walking up to her. 

"Are you up?" A dark, intense loud voice growled amidst the forest while summoning her. Eva quickly rested her head down in the same position as before and laid still without moving her body. She tried to act lifeless as before as her heart was throbbing in fear with the grave danger approaching her gallantly.

"I know you are up. Do you think your poor acting would convince me actually?"

Suddenly after the completion of these coarse words, someone grabbed her hair roughly from behind which immediately caused her to whimper aloud in pain. The brutal person was grabbing her hair exactly at the same position where she was hit. Crying with such a piercing pain sensation, the person mercilessly raised and made her sit up from the ground forcefully while she tried to peek at the person who was tormenting her.

Her eyes rolled out in tears and angst by taking a glance at the person. It was Thomas who was doing these horrible things to her holding a proud victorious smirk on his face. He clenched his grip on her hair behind while she was glaring at her, shooting flares through her gaze.

"You bastard! Ho-How dare you! How dare...ughhh!" Grumbling in a husky voice, she whimpered in pain.

"I didn't expect you to regain your senses back in 2 hours after that sharp hit! I guess you are much stronger than how frail you look, Miss Ricci..." He tossed a wide heinous chuckle while scanning her from head to toe.

"LET ME GO BASTARD! LET ME GO--"

"SHUT UP!"

All of a sudden, he grabbed her by the cheeks quite harshly forbidding her from speaking a single sentence anymore. He further clenched his grip on the back of her head and tears of immense throbbing pain rolled down her eyes which she was enduring though.

"I will rip out your tongue out if you dare to scream, you little bitch! I don't like loud noises!" Grumbling in a dense sonorous pitch, he whispered those harsh words right in her ears which caused a shivering chill down her spine.

"Why...Why...are you...doing this...to me? What...did I do wrong? It's the first...time...I have met you today...Then why..." Her quivering voice trailed off as she started to sob bitterly in fear, squirming helplessly. Tossing a wide evil seer, he released her soft cheeks and her hairs from his grasp and stood up straight on the ground.

"You really think we have just met today?" He proudly proclaimed aloud, gawking at her.

"Huh?"

"You are such a naive woman, Miss Ricci... It was quite easy for me to capture you into my trap...haha!"

Hearing his vicious vague remark, she gulped her saliva while surging her eyeballs at him. Quivering in dread, she mumbled in a gruff voice, "wh-who...who are you?"

Immediately after her question, a dark black wave of flash surrounded him all around, and within a flash of a second, right before her eyes...Mr. Beck was standing instead of Thomas in the exact same attire which she had foreseen earlier in the station, holding a devilish smile that surfaced on his mandibles.

"Surprise!" He clapped his hands aloud in the air. His voice sounded much delightful with his shimmering eyes gleaming in happiness.

Eva was deadpanned in shock and horror to watch Thomas transforming himself into Beck just in the flick of a second. Swallowed in awe, she started panicking while trying to fidget her arms from the hold of the rope tying her too hard.

Tears started rolling down her reddened cheeks while helplessly she tried to glimpse around them. But not a single soul was present there apart from both of them in that dense woods.

"How...How is this possible? What's happening... here?" She uttered in dismay.

"This is called... shape-shifting, baby!" He promptly answered, chuckling wider, staring at her.

"Shape...shifting?"

"Nothing is impossible when it encounters the mysterious side of this world, sweetheart. You should have been well aware of it since you are dating a non-human creature too." This time the smile he had on his face all along faded, occupied by a creepy expression on his face as he tilted his neck while ogling at her. 

"You...You know about Ze...Zeus?" Gulping her saliva, she murmured her query.

"Of course! I had to know everything about you before I could pounce on you..." He took a bold step closer to her and hearing his dark proclamation, Eva shuddered in fear shoving herself back from his approach. 

"Don't...Don't come closer to me! Ze...Zeus would tear you into pieces if he knows about what you did to me..." She growled aloud, frowning her grimace.

"Really? Did you think your warning would actually scare me? Hahaha...What a fucking joke!" He continued stepping closer.

"I am warning you...stay away from me..." She was scrambling herself on the ground backward, looking all around the woods restlessly.

"Awww, you seem so darn helpless right now. Your frightened small face is exciting me too much to torment you furthermore!" Scowling his grimace, he licked his lips with his muscular long tongue.

All of a sudden, he halted his movement, and with a flash of blackish-red flame, her purse where she had kept all her belongings appeared right on his hand. Eva noticed her purse in his grip and screamed out in panic, "my purse!"

Beck took a small glimpse at the purse and raised his chin up smirking at her. Looking all calm and composed, he opened it and took out the hematite pendant, clenching it tightly.

"Your beloved lover must have thought that he has succeeded to protect you from my approach just because of this darn pendant... But little did he know, you are too naive to remove it on your own...Haha!" His intense laugh echoed in the entire woods as he twirled the pendant on his hand, showing it to her.

Helplessly looking at the black sparkling pendant, she was clenching her fist behind, rustling on the grass.

Without uttering any more words, he gripped the necklace tighter in his hand and threw her purse on the ground. Boldly he walked straight towards the heap of woods that were piled up just a few steps away from her and turned his neck behind giving her a spooky smirk before responding. "Now you will see...what happens to your shield..." 

"Wh-What are you doing with my pendant? What the heck do you intend?" She screamed aloud, sounding extremely distressed.

"You will see now..." Quickly, he shifted his gaze back to the wood and a spark of black fumes appeared on his spare arm. Immediately, he steered the blaze towards the woods and in the count of three seconds, a massive fire ignited the timbers turning the entire dark area glowing red as hellfire!

"What do you plan to do? Why are you lighting up the fire?" She shrieked again.

"Say goodbye to your precious pendant...little bitch." Viciously he grumbled out his words and tossed away the pendant into that anomalous firewood leaving her deadpanned in shock.

"NOOOO! NO!!" She yelled out in a screeching tone trying to stand up from the ground pouring her entire strength, bawling her eyes out as he threw her cherished necklace into the fire. "NOOO! PLEASE NOOO!" She continued screaming as her shivering legs couldn't gather up the strength to stand up from the ground, while her head was throbbing in immense pain.

"Now... who will spare you from me...little bitch?" He turned around back to her, proclaiming his heinous voice with a dark proud smile on his face. "His dark eyes immediately transformed entire black without the scleral part, making his appearance fierce as a monster sending chills all over her spine as she looked up at him.

"No...I can't die like this... I have a reason to live...I have Zeus in my life now... Please... Please let me live..." She pleaded inside her mind, sobbing in terror.
