Sixteen

Louisa walked briskly beside her cousin as they made their way towards the Bamey house. It had been a crazy day already and it wasn’t even noon. She was sure there would be more excitement to come, and she wasn’t sure if she was ready for it.

Life since the attack on her village had been very different from what she was used to. Nearly everyone she knew and loved had been ripped away from her, including her mate-to-be. There was a certain agony that could only be understood by someone that had cared and lost just as she; and the werewolf walking a few feet ahead of her knew what she felt.

From the second she picked up on his scent, she knew he was protected by the coupling he’d shared with Liam. An ursithrope’s mate was always protected, and despite the fact he was not an ursithrope, she could not allow her cousin to bring harm to him. It would be frowned upon in the eyes of Urseth. She had done the right thing.

She gripped the handle of her hatchet as her eyes darted around them, taking in each sight and sound as she tried to become acquainted with such sacred ground. Kadenburg was her home just as much as anyone else’s. She had a right to be here, just as her grandparents and great-grandparents had so many years ago.

She’d just celebrated her 19th birthday a few days before her world was turned upside down. What a foolish girl she was to ignore her gut instincts; she knew something terrible was approaching, yet she was far too eager to order the silly flowers and get the finishing touches on her wedding gown. How very selfish of her. Her greed had cost her everything and there wasn’t any way to bring them back.

She pushed the thoughts aside as she glanced at the human male, watching curiosity get the best of him. He was trying to pull the arrow free from the wolf’s shoulder and he was only making it worse.

“Ow,” Dimitri growled, shooting a glare at Rutley. “Just leave it alone for now. I’ll pull it out when we get to the house.”

“It’s going to get infected,” Rutley frowned. “It’s going to take more than a band aid to fix that booboo.”

“He will be fine,” Beau stated in annoyance. “It’s not like I killed him.”

“You sure did a damn good job at trying though,” Dimitri muttered.

Louisa sighed, dropping her gaze back to the ground. She decided that it was better to get trapped in her thoughts for a while longer. It was agonizing to think about her mistakes, and it killed her on the inside to think of her lost mate-to be; but her mind was the only place where she could be with him, and oh, how she wanted to be with him.

“I love you, Xiong Liu. I promise that I will do whatever I can to make you happy.”

His words still echoed in her mind from time to time.
