Chapter 149
Astrid POV
Kael and Toren’s wolves immediately stopped, their eyes snapping to the car behind us. It was as if they were
petrified. They took a step back.
Xander must have sensed the hesitation. He removed the knife from my neck, turned, and ran away from there
shouting “wolves, wolves!”
“Fuck!” Aiden murmured.
| dropped to the ground on my knees, my mind too frozen to do anything else.
“Quick, quick!” I heard Xander’s panicky voice from the edge of the woods. He opened the car's door and
slammed it shut. The car sped away into the night.
Kael shifted into his human form and approachedwith panic written all over his face. The warm blood on my
neck must have reached my chest because | could feel my shirt soaked in it. “Astrid,” he murmured, his eyes
scanningeverywhere. But | was too stunned to comprehend the situation. My head was spinning again.
“You-" | couldn't finish my sentence.
“Yeah!” he replied, watching my reaction.
My gaze swept over the three brothers. Overwhelmed by a surge of emotions, | fainted.
“Fuck!” Kael rasped. | sensed him pickingup, but after that, | recalled nothing. And why was it that
something insidewas trying to surface? Like my soul that wanted to reach out to Kael’s soul or his wolf.
| didn’t know how to classify what | saw when | was unconscious. Were they dreams or nightmares? Black wolves
chasedand when | looked back over my shoulder to see those wolves, | saw myself looking over a furry white
shoulder. | gasped, and with a jerk, opened my eyes.
“Astrid!” Kael was lying right next to me. He tightened his grip around me.
“Kael?” My heart hammered in my ribcage. | didn’t know whether | should be afraid of him. “You're a werewolf?”
| stated, rather than asking. Or what happened towas just a dream?
He stared into my eyes intensely. “I am,” he said in a low voice, filled with a dilemma.
| gulped and distanced myself away from him. His features were illuminated by the soft light of the side lamp.
“Don’t hate me,” he said, his breath lodged in his throat. “Please don’t hate me,” he begged. His Adam's apple
bobbed.
Something insidepurred. Like it wanted to reach out to him and hug him to stop making him feel so
miserable. “I don’t hate you,” | managed to say, my words laced with a mixture of desperation and
apprehension.
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. “I couldn't see you being attacked,” he explained. “My protective
instincts about you flared. | know | should've restrained myself, but it was not in my control. My wolf took over.”

mind, but | asked, “Why didn’t you tellearlier?”
“I was scared,” he said in a guarded voice. “I thought you would leaveif | revealed my identity.” He rubbed
his chest as if anxiety tightened around his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe. He got out of the bed
and walked to the window, each step heavier than the last. “Being a werewolf around you felt like carrying a
weighty burden. | felt so hopeless that it was exhausting. You can’t imagine the overwhelming sense of isolation |
felt, yearning for you to simply acknowledgefor who | truly am.” He tilted his head upwards and surrendered
to the darkness behind his closed eyes. “Don’t hate me, Astrid. | won't be able to live without you. | don’t know if
you've heard of fated mates, but I think you're my mate.
The one destined for me. The one | was born to take care of.”
Oh. My. God. Yes, | had read about werewolves and their fated mates. | used to find it mythical, but this-this was
real. | think it was my conscience who coaxedto get up and go to my beautiful mate. “Kael...” | murmured
and jumped out of the bed to go to him. He stumbled a little when | wrapped my arms around his waist, pressing
my body against his.
Taken aback by my reaction, he turned toand curled his arms around me. He pinched my chin lightly to tip
my face up. “I love you so much that | can’t breathe. Do you understand that?”
| nodded, feeling

“Not in this lifetime,” | said.
“Fuck!” He slammed his lips on mine and | sighed in response. He pickedup by my waist and carriedall
the way to the bed. He pusheddown on the mattress. “You don’t know what you've done, Astrid. | feel as if a
weight has been lifted off my shoulders,” he expressed gratefully.
We were both breathless when we pulled away. | cupped his cheeks and said, “Can | see your wolf again?”
“God damn it, girl! My wolf wants to cout and show himself to you. Do you wantto shift?”
| nodded vehemently.
Kael got out of bed and shifted into his black wolf.
| gasped, thrilled to see him.

“You are so beautiful. | love you!” | cooed. He licked my face in response. | laughed more.
Finally, when | was exhausted, | curled into my wolf and closed my eyes with a sigh, feeling content and
euphoric. | never wanted this feeling to go
away.
Dreams followed. They were the same, but | wasn't afraid of them now.
When | woke up in the morning, | saw myself wrapped like a koala around Kael’s naked body in his human form.
Blushing red, | pushed away. He grinned and pulledback against him.
“When did you shift?” | asked. His erection poked in my belly and before I could control, | rubbed it. His cock
twitched.
“Stop it, Astrid,” he warned me, “Else | am going to lose control!”
