Part Wolf

New family

It was close to sunset as the three sneaked out of the house into the forest, Agatha bringing down the seal that she placed earlier.

Elize stayed close to Zack, not wanting to let go of her mate for another second. She linked her hand in his, cherishing the feeling of the warmth that spread inside her at the touch.
Zack looked down at her and gave her a blinding smile every now and then as they continued to walk past the tall trees.

In the faint golden glow of the setting sun, Elize could see how his handsome face wore an expression of being content. She remembered how he looked so innocent as he lay there sleeping on her bed the day after he marked her, how she wanted to do nothing more than touch him. They never got much time alone together, unbothered by other things. But today finally, she got some time with him, away from all the supernatural politics and her recurring pains, Elize thought.
She was so caught up in her thoughts that she was startled when Zack stopped. Elize slammed into his back. She could see Agatha's features growing tense beside her.

Zack suddenly dropped his hand from hers and pushed them into the pockets of his torn shorts. Elize crunched her face in protest.

"We've been waiting for you, Alpha Zachariah." A familiar voice
spoke from ahead.

Elize peeped from behind Zack to see the source of the interruption. There, in a clearing ahead of them stood Mikail and Nina. A scowl started forming on her face, seeing the unwelcome wolves once again. Memories of the redhead sticking her tongue down her mate's throat flashed before her eyes.

Elize reminded herself to breathe as she tried not to give in to her irritation. She might not like them, but they were members of Zack's pack.

Nina waived at her excitedly, which earned her a glare from Mikail. Elize smiled back at the she-wolf, not wanting to come off as rude.

"I don't remember anybody telling me about inviting mutts to our side of the Island," Agatha remarked with a smirk. Elize held in her laugh.

Nina growled at Agatha, suddenly crouching down in an attacking position. Mikail stood beside her unfazed, his gaze traveling between the Alpha and Elize. It was getting more uncomfortable by the second.

"Okay okay, guys let's not fight. We're all friends here." Elize interrupted stepping out from behind Zack.

Nina relaxed, smirking at Agatha.

"Alpha, we need to go." Mikail insisted, stepping forward.

Elize looked at Zack, hoping that he'd insist on staying on a while more. He kept his face directed at his pack members, ignoring her stare. The crunch of footsteps on the forest floor diverted her attention back to where the other two wolves stood.

"Wait, what's wrong with your scent Zack? You smell weird." Nina said walking towards them.

Zack kept his face neutral. There was a hard expression on his face, one that Elize remembered from when she first met him.

"It's nothing," Zack said stepping away from the witches.

"It's be -"

Before Agatha could finish her sentence, Zack was pushed to the ground. Elize was petrified as she watched Nina sit on top of her mate and started raining kisses all over his face.

Rage boiled inside her as she moved towards the two. Elize could feel a numbing pain as she did. Something was shifting inside her but she didn't care. All she wanted was to tear the bitch into two.

Agatha caught her hand before she reached them.

"Tranquillitas." She whispered into Elize's ears.
