Episode 2

A bit of the past

My name is Lucca Salvatore and I am 29 years old. Ten years ago, my wolf made a deal with the Goddess to resurrect the wolves. In return, she would give us a destined mate chosen by her to be only ours. She said that she had already been born, and so we have been rescuing wolves for 10 years. With each new ambush, I fight, searching for the scents and aromas of the women, but I can't find her. Discouraged, I call my beta, Attila...

Lucca: Do you think the goddess tricked me?

Atilla: Of course not, brother. Why do you say that?

I take a deep breath. He has full knowledge of everything, and even though we are alpha and beta, before that, we are friends.

Atilla: We'll find her, okay? I could have asked for one for me too, hahaha

Lucca: She will restore the destined ones as soon as I unite with mine. The problem with being the chosen one is this: the goddess does not give details, and we are already going to another human prison, and still nothing of finding my destined one. The stories say that as soon as we smell the scent, we will know that she belongs to us, that the bond is so strong that it is almost impossible to leave each other's side, our wolves recognize each other, and the bond becomes complete after we put our mark on them.

Atilla: That's why, man, I didn't choose any. I want to experience that, the butterflies in my stomach, the recognition, the feeling of belonging to a single person. It's surreal.

The trackers come in and say we're going to invade.

We follow them, and the invasion begins. More than 69 wolves were found in captivity, and their situation was terrible. Some cells were full of bones and fur.

Atilla: This is terrible, Alpha. There are wolves that have never emerged, so their healings are very slow.

I see a young man being taken to the ambulance and I'm uneasy.

Dexter, my wolf, gets restless.

Lucca: She said our mate was already born, not a man, Dexter.

Dexter: Go see... Mate.

I follow and see his condition. It's terrible. His injuries are huge, his hair is long and completely disheveled, he's very thin and certainly malnourished. After taking the pills, he'll be unrecognizable... I leave and find, once again, that I haven't found my mate.

Lucca: Follow to the pack. Take the wounded as fast as you can, and those who can, introduce yourself, I'll be available.

We all follow, but that young man left me uneasy. I think it's because of the situation or his scent mixed with something I don't understand.

It took about 5 days to get to the pack, and I keep thinking about the young man I didn't see again. I'm on my way to the truck when Allyna calls me and I end up walking faster.

Allyna: Alpha, I'd like you to see something...

Lucca: You know I was going to you.

She laughs and we walk to the room she leads me to. As I get closer, I smell roses and my heart races. Dexter howls, calling for someone, and the truck room is the same as the young man's... When she opens it, I am bombarded by the smell that arrives. I close my eyes and inhale deeply...

Lucca / Dexter: MATE...

Allyna: Oh my goddess, you found her...

I see a beautiful woman lying on the bed, her hair washed and combed, her curvy body makes me salivate, her lips are so inviting that I want to devour them.

Lucca: I thought it was a man.

Allyna: We all thought so. I bathed her and took care of her. The vitamins took effect very quickly, and it scared me, Alpha, that's why I went to call you...

Lucca: She sleeps so peacefully. What's her name?

Allyna: Maia, but I don't remember her last name...

I inhale her scent and as I turn to leave, Dexter howls in pain... Shit, I had forgotten. I go back and sit on the side of the bed. She needs to recognize me or my wolf will feel pain. Suddenly, her eyes meet mine and I get lost in those beautiful and unique [eyes].
