The Golden Wolf by Rizonne Alexander (books to read fiction TXT) 📖

did not give me any explanation to my apartment being spotless. We both sat on the bed and when she typed in the name a company called Gordon LTD popped up. “Check for photos Joanne!” I said. She scrolled and there he was. Flynn Gordon. “Do you know him Lyra?” she asked me. I felt my face go pale and put my head into my hands. “Fuck!” I said out loud. “Who is he Lyra?” Jo asked me. “My mate.” I responded trying to not even look at her face. “OMG!!!!!!!!! What? How?” she kept shouting. This is the reason why I did not want to tell her. “Can you just calm down please?” I said taking my packed bags to the lounge. “No way Lyra, how did this happen?” she asked. I looked at her. Honestly, I knew if I told her this will happen. “At the club Jo, that is why I collapsed. I saw him in the crowd, our eyes met and our wolves howled.” I said. “Are you not happy? Excited? I am! Fucking finally!” she squealed with joy. “It’s complicated.” I said. “What you mean it’s complicated? After all these years you have found your mate Lyra, you are free” she said in a more angelic voice. “I know yes but when he came near me, I flinched. I was in attack mode. Even so when his near I become weak.” I said as my confusion took over. “I understand, you had years of abuse and you don’t do well with acceptance. I get that and I understand that. For the becoming weak part when his near; that is because your mind is rejecting and your wolf suffers when you push back nature and what is due to her. She yearns to be out, to run and be free. You haven’t run in a while have you?” she asked, “No I have not since I escaped the pack.” I said sadly. “Well that is the problem Lyra, you are pushing him away. I know it’s not your fault but the key word in this whole situation is TRY.” She explained. “Can I tell you another thing?” she asked. “Uh yeah sure?” I replied. “You don’t need rehab anymore.” She said, “What do you mean?” I asked. “You not sick anymore, your withdrawal symptoms are gone and I haven’t seen you on edge yet since I got here.” She said. “I don’t understand?” I said confused. “You weakened your wolf further when she already was weak. She had nothing to rise for. Your drugs and lifestyle she accepted and allowed you to get high. As a fully accepted wolf nothing can harm us except death by a weapon. I can snort a whole pack of cocaine and not flinch, I can drink a case of vodka and not get drunk. My wolf won’t allow it, our wolves protect us. When your wolf found your mate, she rose a little, not completely because you still pushing away. She’s healing you now.” Joanne explained. “I see, so she is healing me but cannot completely because of me.” I stated. “Yip.” Jo said. I walked to the kitchen to grab a glass of water. Everything was so overwhelming and it was a lot to take in. I did not know I was weakening my wolf but I couldn’t help it. My mental capacity for life tipped over. “Joanne, so what now?” I asked. “Now you need to think carefully, by the looks of it Flynn is not pushing you into anything. He probably read you a mile away.” She explained. “What if I don’t want to be with him?” I asked. “Lyra, remember I told you that no wolf in your father’s pack has shown the no sign of the gift. I still believe it’s you. I really do believe so. I need you to just try okay. Now go unpack your bags and let’s go shopping.” She said hugging me.

Days turned into weeks and no sign of Flynn except for the weekly flowers that would just pop up on the kitchen counter. It became a routine I got use too. I started work as a waitress at a nearby café, it was a good change coming from being a stripper. My new boss Mason was really cool, he was supportive and always allowed me the overtime that I needed. Almost every week Joanne would throw out my old clothes and replace them with new ones, she was really keen on getting me fixed up with a new look in case I ever bumped into Flynn. I appreciate everything that she has done for me, she is the only family that ever cared for me. Ever since that day that I got discharged from the hospital I did feel more alive than ever, I even started to hit gym. I ate, slept and breathed. I felt clean and healthy and I am proud of how far I have come and with the support too. It is still hard for me to open up about my past and to forget it, I can’t. Have you ever wished for something so long and when you eventually get it you doubt it? That is the phase I am going through at the moment. After my shift at the café I walked home. From work to the apartment is really close by and its good exercise for me as well. I think I picked up over 15kgs, toned down the muscle but still look rounder than what I did previously. I walked up the drive way unlocking the door and walking in. I smiled looking to my left, this time they were pink roses. I walked up to them picking up the note that came along with it and it read – Are you ready now? Flynn Gordon. That was the third are you ready note he has sent me. Nope I thought and chucked the note away in the bin. I cupped the pink roses in my hands and embraced the smell. “That is literally the third time you are doing that.” A voice said behind me, I jumped and screamed as if my life depended on it. I turned around and there he stood. Hands in his pockets, all suited up with no expression other than disappointment on his face. “Flynn” I said holding my head as the pain started to take over. “My head” I moaned. As he came closer it got worse. I reached out my hand to stop him from coming closer. “accipit mihi enim tuus sum” I started to hear chanting. I fell to my knees as the words burned through my head making me scream even more and then suddenly it stopped. I dropped further down onto the floor with my hands, breathing heavy and trying to catch my breath. “What……. Are you… doing here?” I slowly voiced. “I needed to speak to you, come take my hand.” He said. I looked up and saw a woman, she was clearly a witch based on her wardrobe. “What have you done to me?” I asked. “Get up Lyra and I will explain everything.” He said. I reached up and took his hand. He helped me up, I turned to take a glass of water. My head was clear, no pain. I walked with them to the sofa and we sat. “I brought Safar with me to help you with the pain. I can’t speak to you when every time I come near you collapse or pain inflicts your body.” He said to me. “Thank you Safar, you may go now. Payment will be with you shortly.” He told her and she left. I sat on the sofa dumbstruck. I was in a room with my mate.

 

Chapter 3

 

Lyra’s POV

“Before you say anything, you had a witch cast some sort of spell on me?” I asked, “Uh yeah, to help you Lyra.” He answered. “Who said I want your help Flynn?” I said. “Why are you acting like this? He asked. “Look, I don’t need this right now okay. I really don’t and its best that you leave now.” I demanded. “Look you can’t keep pushing me away like this, we are mates. You are mine and I am yours.” He stated. Those words sent shivers down my spine. This man does not understand that I am not ready for this. “Lyra Zoe Mucker, look at me please.” He pleaded this time. I looked at him and his silver eyes glanced at mine. I could feel the radiation between our wolfs. I could feel the yearning, the wanting and the needing but I was not ready. “Flynn, I am not ready.” I finally said something. “I understand but allow me to make sure every day you are okay until you are ready for me.” He asked. “Alright but…… boundaries! You cannot just pitch up here when you want okay!” I said to him. He started to laugh, he tilted his head to one side and looked at me. “Can I knock when I come around then?” he asked smiling. “Well that is what normal people do yes.” I stated. “Well Miss Mucker, you still have a lot to learn about me not being just a normal person okay.” He said getting up and making his way to the door. He turned to me and said – “You do have the gift, Safar saw it in you.” He left the apartment and the door closed shut. I sat there in utter shock. “I have the gift?” I said out loud. I stood up and walked to the mirror on the other side of the room. I looked at myself, staring. I have the gift. I am future Alpha of the Luna pack. I smiled, my dad is in for a very big surprise. I turned around and headed to my bedroom. Lights out world. Alpha Lyra is coming hard and strong.

I woke up to the smell of really strong coffee. I stretched out of my bed and yanked my morning slippers from beneath the bed. I checked the time, 08:26 am. “Joanne, don’t you think it’s a little too early to harass me?” I asked and shouted at the same time. I walked out in my nightie to the kitchen. “Argh! So early Flynn? Really?” I moaned. He sat the kitchen table drinking coffee and reading a newspaper. Not noticing me I tapped the table. “Uh halo?” I said. He looked up at me smiling, I swear he is so handsome and although Safar healed me; my heart raced for his scent. It enchanted me to the depths of my stomach. “Good Morning Lyra, well let me get going.” He said and folding up his newspaper, grabbing his suitcase and making his way to the door. “Why do you wear a suit? What work do you do?” I asked stopping him in his tracks. He turned around and smiled at. Fuck his so hot I thought to myself. He came closer putting his suitcase back onto the kitchen table. “Well Miss Mucker, I’m the owner of Gordon LTD, the oil company. I established it.” He claimed. “Okay, and what pack are you from?” I asked. “The Luna pack.” He stated. “Excuse me? That is my father’s pack!” I shouted, “I do know that yes, he is my Alpha.” He said replying. “I don’t understand, how am I able to find my mate now only when years ago we were together, possibly under one roof?” I asked almost crying. “Look, there is much that I would like to explain and tell you but I have to go now. Take my card and make an appointment with my assistant for you to come over to my building okay.” He said leaving. He came closer to hug me but I pushed him away. “Don’t.” I said firmly. He nodded his head and left. Just when I thought my life is somehow coming
