!!!YOU NEED TO READ THE WHOLE CHAPTER BEFORE JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS!!!

Beta Crucifero above ;) 

Someone's POV

The scene unfolding before me seemed straight out of a dream. I had to blink twice just to make sure I wasn't hallucinating—this wasn't like the recurring dream I'd been having... No, this time, he, the dream had a face.

A shiver run down my spine, sending goosebumps rippling across my skin. But then, a warmth exploded from within me, like I had become a walking, talking bonfire, heating up the entire room. 

I faced the most stunning, unexpected creature I had ever laid my eyes on.

And trust me when I say that I have laid them on many.

I took my time soaking in the sight of the person who was supposedly tailor-made for me, like a custom-made suit but with less polyester and more soul.

He was huge. Massive. Khal Drogo was nothing in comparison, in both beauty and ferocity.

His shoulders were larger than mine and I could already imagine grabbing them in a certain situation... which I wished it could happen at this very moment.

I felt so aroused and needy. The majestic creature must have felt it too, judging by his sudden sniffing and change in eye colour. Without breaking eye contact, he stalked towards us.

My dear Goddess, his smell was so delicious! So tempting I could drool.

When he reached our spot, he harshly removed the hands of the girls, who were still clenching my arms.

"Go back to the pack house. Later we will discuss your punishment for touching and hurting my mate." He snapped with a voice that emitted power and wildness.

It only made me stare at him in awe and pride.

'Mate is defending us!' My wolf was jumping in joy and excitement.

The she-wolves paled and bowed before running away, as if a devil was chasing them. I would have felt bad if their scratches on my arms were not that deep.

Besides, I was too preoccupied with mentally categorizing every detail of my mate's face and solving this mystery called love at first sight. 

He was slightly shorter than me but definitely larger. Like a sexy bulldozer!

His eyes, blazing with an intense fiery red, snapped back to me. Of all the emotions flickering across that face- the same face I couldn't tear my gaze away from, shock was the dominant one.

I couldn't help but touch him...I had to.

I literally threw myself on him and started to kiss him fervidly. His response was immediate, with an approval growl that made me stir like never before.

Sparks exploded everywhere we touched, like little atomic bombs of emotions. His manly scent intoxicated me, while my wolf was yelling to mark our mate. To mark what was created for us.

I did not let him repeat it twice. My lips moved to his thick neck peppering it with open mouth kisses. I made sure no inch of that tantalising skin was left out.

I felt so powerful when I heard a choked moan. My fangs elongated and sunk into my mate's neck as his sweet blood flooded my mouth.

A heartbeat later, a lightning bolt zapped through my entire being.

The fine specimen that I could proudly call mine, let out a ferocious and yet sexy roar.

And, without asking for a permission that I would have  gladly granted him in a microsecond, he showed me a set of fangs that would make a shark hide in shame before returning the favour and marked my own neck, opposite of where I had marked him.

Pain and joy fought for domination over my body as my wolf howled in primal animal satisfaction.

I had never felt so complete in all my life.

As I closed my eyes, ravishing in the electrifying sparks, two thoughts crossed my foggy mind:

I would never be alone again and... I had found my mate!

Elena POV

I could not believe what I had just witnessed.

Marco, my childhood friend and rock had just marked his very own mate, which happened to really exist!

And by the looks of it, the newly discovered mate seemed to be part of the notorious Black Devil pack. Just to make the situation more spicy, he was not an ordinary werewolf.

The tremendous aura of power radiating from him did not go unnoticed.

My best friend was mated with none other than Beta Crucifero himself, also known as the Killing Machine.

Perhaps Marco did not mind or, worse, was blind to the rumours circulating about his mate. I had heard my older pack members murmuring that he was a savage killer, with his ferocious red wolf and reddish eyes fuming in constant anger. And apparently he had no mercy towards any living creature who dared cross his killing path, regardless if it was a child, his granny or their pet. Once the Alpha had commanded him, he was in execution mode, following the orders without hesitation or regards for morals. Despite that, a mate was supposed to complete someone else's soul, so... Maybe it could work, or maybe Marco would end up as his snack?

Well, I guessed Marco had made this Machine his own now: they were almost having sex in the corridor of our school, in front of an astonished crowd.

I stifled a laugh, shaking my head in utter disbelief, while the blonde girl standing before me seemed to have lost her voice. It was like a scene straight out of a silent movie.

When we finally snapped out of it and realized how close we still were, we promptly shuffled apart—me pretending she didn't exist, and her continuing to shoot daggers with her eyes.

If looks could kill, I'd all be goner.

As the newly formed couple took a breather, oxygen was important, the crowd around us slowly dispersed. It was as if they didn't want to catch any residual ferocity from Marco's mate. 

Amidst the quiet murmurs that filled the air, it was like nothing out of the ordinary had just happened.

I caught a couple of distorted sentences here and there, with people chiming in on the absurdity of the situation.

''He will surely rape him while sleeping and then kidnap him to his cave in the woods..''

''Damn such a shame they are gay!"

"The Alpha won't approve a Beta of his rivals in our territory"

I sighed, growing bored of all the chatter and gossip.

"I wonder when the Alpha will finally find our Luna"

I felt a twinge of annoyance, unsure why, but I decided to focus on that particular conversation. It was between a boy and a girl that smelled like Black Devil, likely first-years,  whispering closely to each other.

"Cornelia will kill her! She has always acted like a Luna even though none really respected her as such" The little guy said ~ let's call him Al.

"Pff! Who would want that superficial wolf as a Luna! And Alpha treats her like any other warriors anyway" The girl chuckled ~ let's call her Pin. Al & Pin.

"I wonder if he'll ever give up his freedom once he finds the real Luna," Pin mused aloud, and I felt a knot of tension in my stomach.

"I never saw him with any girl... maybe he only had some, just to keep his wolf at bay while waiting for his mate?" Pin whispered, in a very dreamy way.

"All the pack women are in love with him, come on! Including you!" Al replied, giggling softly. 

Then Al whispered much lower, like he was about to speak forbidden words. "Also , did you know, he doesn't believe in soul mates? It's probably because of the legend, and what happened with his pa.."

Then two sudden and thick arms engulfed me, squeezing the air out of me. If I wasn't a werewolf, I'd need to buy a new spine right about now. 

Titilas was pouting, upset that our eavesdropping session had been cut off...same with my airflow.

When Marco's hug lessened in intensity, another terrifying growl silenced my wolf. Well, the entire school went silent... and maybe all the nearby towns as well.

Marco and I gingerly turned with a similar face of stupefaction, mixed with some apprehension. And there he was.. a furious wolf staring at me like he could tear my heart out.

"Mine!"

Did you get it? :D The first POV was from Marco, not Elena! He is the one who found his mate!!

Surpriseeee! :)
