Here I am with most awaited chapter of Running bride.

🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼

Unknown POV

Today again I got a call from alpha Joseph, he knows my answer still asks to accept her daughter as my mate. His daughter, Nikki is nice friend of mine. She is friendly and caring, she is perfect.

'She is not our mate' my wolf argued.

He is not ready to accept other female as our mate. A wolf can find their mate once they turn eighteen. I am going to turn twenty-eight in next three fucking months. Almost ten years, I have waited for my mate.

I went to each and every mating ceremony. I helped each and every pack in need, just to meet my angel. I met each and every rogue personally before punishing them. Stayed in human cities for business as an excuse.

My pack think, it's high time for me to accept someone willingly but my wolf disagrees. Last year I tried, and my wolf disappeared for months.

Without wolf, my strength reduced. I was just a strong human. My physical strength, hearing power too got reduced. My pack members were worried about their future. They needed a Luna but I gave them a wolf less Alpha. Still, they respected and supported me like a family.

Last night I had a dream, a weird one.
I saw a beautiful girl with brown wavy hairs falling from a building. She was hurt, still running from something, then fell into river. She tried, but couldn't swim against stream and hit her head with a stone.

I rarely had dreams, so having a dream was weird itself. But weirdest thing happened today is, I can feel my wolf after seven months. Who is this girl? How she made my wolf alive? Is she the one my wolf is looking for?

I am so happy that my wolf is back. But it was just a dream, I wanted to know about this girl no matter who she is. My wolf and I believe that only our mate can do such magic.

It's been seven months, my wolf hasn't been out. Now it's time to let my pack know about this miracle.

'And find our precious mate'  my wolf commented. Yeah, I agree with my wolf.

I looked out of large window, beautiful deep green forest and mountains is all I can see. I needed a run, my wolf needed to run. I jumped out of window. When I touched the ground clothes are shredded, and I was on four legs. It felt so good to be in my wolf form after so long.

My wolf is dark black with some gray on my neck. Eyes are mixture of green and golden. He announced his comeback with a long haul. I can feel my connection with pack members getting stronger. Pack is happy to get him back.

We ran through woods for a long time. Now, I was on highest peak of a mountain. Forest looked so beautiful from here. I come here whenever needed to clear my mind.

Who's she? I can't take my mind off her. Is she my mate? Where is she? Why she was hurt? From whom she was running. From her fragile figure, I know she is human. I don't mind, all I need is to hold her, be with her. But how do I know that she is real not just my imagination.

I need answers and only one person can answer that. I smiled widely and ran towards last mountain in my territory. Yeah, she chose to live farthest mountain in my territory.

When I reached top of the mountain, I found spare clothes in woods. My pack always keeps some spare clothes in case someone needs. I went to lake nearby and cleaned my sweat. Now I am standing in front of a small house in my human form.

I knocked on the door, “ Aunt Liliana, are you inside?"

"Yes Alpha, please come inside."

When I heard sound of unlocking the door, I pushed it and went inside. She doesn't need to come and open it. She is a witch.

"How many times I told you not to call me Alpha?"
She smiled,"You are my Alpha and every one should respect him. Can't take risk of getting an alpha angry? Can I?"

"You never leave a chance to tease me."
"Oh trust me teasing you make me happy and powerful."

I stared in her eyes, "Can you call me son, just for today? Like you used to do years ago."

Our eyes locked for few more minutes. I know she was reading my face. Then she broke the silence.
"Your wolf is back."

"Yeah, you tried so many things, but he  never came back, but this morning he is just back and.."

"And? Speak up my child" Yeah I have to tell her. She is my only hope.

"Last night I had a dream about a girl. She was hurt. I feel connected with her. And next thing, my wolf is back. Is she the one? Or she is just my imagination."

"Hmm, give me your hand." She just held my hand and chanted few words.

"What do you remember about her? Tell me everything."

"Her beautiful eyes, wavy hairs and most importantly I felt her endless pain."

"My child, She is real and a human. She is deeply hurt, emotionally and physically. Her soul called out to soulmate for help unknowingly."

"Where is she? I will kill each and every fucking ones who dare to hurt her."

"I can feel some wolves around her. Someone is hurting her constantly." My blood is boiling now. I want my mate in front of my eyes.

"Aunt Liliana, please help me. Tell me, how I can find her? She needs my help and I need her here with me" I will destroy whole pack who hurt her.

"Call out your wolf my child, I need your blood."

My wolf is ready to do anything for mate. He already believes that she is not just a dream, she is our mate. I gave her my blood.

She drew some designs in the floor, and continued to chant for next few hours. Finally, she opened her eyes, face filled with happiness and worries.

"Our Luna is not in danger, but someone is constantly hurting her. There is something blocking me to reach her. I need time to figure it out."
She said our Luna, my wolf is jumping with joy inside me. But I'm worried about her.

"How we can find her? My wolf won't calm down till we find her."

"I can try to connect your soul with hers. You can enter into her dreams only when her soul calls for you. You can meet her in her dreams, comfort her. Your Alpha wolf will give you power to show your love to her." At least we can meet her. This much is not enough, but we need to work this out.

"I need to go to my mother, your grandma to find out about this hidden barrier. She can break any barrier and find out where exactly your mate is."

Again she took my blood and chanted few more words. I can't feel her, So, I waited for her to call me out. Little I know she can call me only when she is hurting. This is going to hurt me even more.

I came back to pack house. Now I don't want to be alone. Sun is already setting. I don't feel like eating, so, I directly went to my room. I let myself fall on bed. I can't sleep.

It was early morning when I felt her pain, she is calling me to save her. No one hurting her but she is in pain. Not sure what to do I imagined pulling her in my room. She is beautiful. She is sitting on a chair in front of mirror.

I went to her, her hazel blue eyes saw me with curiosity. I asked for her hand and she willingly gave me. Her hands are so soft and fragile. I don't want to hurt her, never in this life.

I kissed her on knuckles. She blushed, her beauty is mesmerizing. I took her towards the forest. I want to spend some alone time with her. She said she wants to paint the house. I said yes to her. It's her home too she can do whatever she wants to do with it.

Even in dream my presence made her feel better. That's all I wanted to do, make her feel better.

She asked me about where we are going. I told her that wedding venue is in forest. I want to kiss her but wonder what she is going to think of me? A jerk, a Playboy, and what not. She is human, we need to take things slowly. I leaned to kiss her on forehead.

Suddenly, everything vanished. I can't feel her pain it means she woke up from dream. I wonder who's wedding we were talking about?  I think this part of dream was from her side. I happy to know that she is also adding things in our dreams.

I can't wait to meet her, hold her, love her. And kill the ones hurting her.
