Episode 5

The plane is about to land. She grabs her jacket and carry-on bag to be ready for disembarking. She looks for a cart to carry all the suitcases she has. It's better to have too many than not enough. She heads to the waiting lounge, where she has been waiting for half an hour. She takes advantage of the time to let people know that she has arrived safely and that the flight was smooth. She puts on her AirPods to listen to some music until she spots a man holding a sign with her name written on it. She approaches him in a friendly manner.

Uma: Helloooo! I'm Uma Wolf, you must be Rock...

Rock: Miss Wolf, it's a pleasure to meet you. I apologize for the delay; my van broke down.

Uma: No problem, just call me Uma.

Rock couldn't believe the beauty of this woman, her delicate features, rare violet eyes. She was stunning from every angle. He knew she would attract trouble with all the vultures around, so he would try not to show her off to spare her any unpleasant experiences. He loads her suitcases into the back of the van and struggles with the passenger door before finally managing to open it. He feels embarrassed for Uma, knowing she will be overwhelmed when they reach the pack.

Uma: Tell me, Rock, what will we do within the pack?

Rock: I'm not sure, Miss. Usually, when an alpha assumes power, a new beta also comes into play.

Uma: There are no written laws about that, just old traditions. Just like no female has been an alpha before, we will break those customs together. You will be my beta, and I will be your alpha.

Rock: Thank you very much.

Uma: Tell me, Rock, are there many problems in the pack?

Rock: If I told you everything, you would run back to the airport.

Uma: We will overcome this place, and we will do it together. And if we can't, my dad will help us. We will find a way to make things work.

Rock: I will help you and protect you with my life... This place is dangerous for a young lady as beautiful as you. The people here are not like those in the city.

Uma: Don't worry about me. I'm not as delicate as you think. Trashy people exist everywhere.

Rock: I don't understand.

Uma: You'll see...

Rock: We're stuck again; I'm going to see what happened this time.

He lifts the van's hood to find the problem when a four-wheel-drive coming from the opposite direction stops. He curses inwardly; it's the Shiumi brothers, three degenerate bullies. He approaches Uma.

Rock: Hide until I tell you...

And he goes back to the front of the van.

Tim: Dear Rock, what happened to your latest model? Hahaha.

Rock: Nothing, guys, I'll solve it.

Lewis: I'll trade it for three screws and a nail. Hahaha.

Uma barely holds back, she breathes and waits.

They get out of their vehicle and approach Rock. They snatch the keys from his hand and start tossing them to each other, making Rock run back and forth as they burst into laughter.

Uma: Give the keys back to Rock...

Derek: Wow... Hello, doll...

Rock approaches Uma and stands in front of her.

Rock: Get in, Uma, and don't get out. Lock the door.

Uma: Give Rock the keys first.

Tim: What if we don't, beautiful Uma?

Uma: I'll break your faces.

Lewis: I like this woman. I want to be the first to have her.

Rock: Don't come near her, you degenerates.

He continues standing in front of her with clenched fists while the three Shiumi laugh at him. As they approach, Uma grabs Rock's body and puts him aside. She kicks the first one in the stomach, twists the hand of the one holding the keys, and punches the third one twice in the face, leaving them all on the ground.

Uma: Why won't it start, Rock?

Rock: The battery is dead. We need to buy a new one.

He approaches the van and, unnoticed by anyone, sends an electric charge to the battery. He throws her the keys.

Uma: Try now.

And the van starts. They leave in a hurry, leaving the Shiumi brothers on the side, complaining in pain.

Rock: I'm very surprised by what just happened.

Uma: I'm trained in combat and martial arts. My maternal grandfather was a great warrior and has been my mentor. I'm lethal in combat.

Rock: I believe you. I was very scared for you.

Uma: Thank you for trying to protect me, but I won't let anyone offend you.

Rock - This is what I was talking about, there are really bad people around here and you don't even know the worst of it. The new alphas can be challenged until they come of age, and there are around five alphas who want the lands. Only one of them has offered money.

Uma - We won't give in or sell.

Rock - Boris didn't want that either.

They continue their journey and as they cross the hills, a terribly masculine essence fills the air. Wow... it's very stimulating... wait a moment... it can't be... his mate... is nearby.

He tries to compose himself and uses magic to conceal his essence so she can't perceive it.

He doesn't want to know who she is.

She didn't come to find her mate, she came to help this pack, which is now her pack.

Her wolf becomes restless, she also senses her mate.

Onix falls on the rocks when he feels his unmistakable mate's essence. When he tries to find her... she disappears, turning into a wolf and running back and forth. But he can't feel her again, he wasn't confused, his wolf becomes desperate, he also senses his mate's distress.

He goes back for his horse and gallops to his pack, he sees Rock's old truck, but right now he doesn't feel like talking to him.

He arrives at his pack and goes up to his room, remembering the sensation he felt, it was sweet and delicious.

He isn't mistaken, his mate is close. But who is she?

He knows every female from every pack, and he doesn't find them attractive, too bland and silly.

He doesn't know if he should look for her, he doesn't know if he wants to find her, he is very happy on Saturdays at the bar with alcohol and women... Cards and bets. That's what he likes... absolute freedom.

He won't search for her, no matter how tempting her essence may be, he can do without a life partner, he has no doubt about that.

He doesn't know anyone who has died just because they haven't found their mate, they carry on with their normal way of life, and even better than that.
