Chapter 140: Chapter 140: The Intoxicating Scent
Cyrus looked at her with a deadpan expression, his eyes hard and cold, while Sara trembled under his gaze, trying to make herself smaller and hide as much as possible.
But he was not taking any of the hints to leave her alone. No, he could not. Not when his chest was restless, not when his mind was screaming for answers, and not when his wolf inside him was tearing him apart.
Just last night, he had been wandering in the pack ground when suddenly he caught it... a scent.
It was familiar, so familiar, yet unlike anything else he had ever known. A scent so intoxicating, so deep, it wrapped around him like chains of silk. It pulled him in, closer and closer, until he was submerged completely, like his body was no longer his own.
The scent crawled into his skin, slipped into his blood, and made him relax in a way he had never relaxed before. Every breath, every inhale, only made him crave more.
He wanted it. No—he needed it.
And when he was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly heard a whisper. It was from his wolf, Alex.
"Mate."
Cyrus froze. His blood ran cold, then hot, then wild. His chest tightened. His breath caught. His eyes widened in disbelief.
Mate.
He had found his mate.
His whole body trembled at the word, at the thought. He could not believe it. For so long, he had buried the hope, telling himself fate was cruel, that the Moon Goddess had forgotten him. And yet here it was. His mate. His true fated mate.
