Eric's pov

Eric's pov :

I was in a place surrounded fully by dark. I didn't knew where I was. At first I thought that I was dead but then I started hearing my pack members voices through mind link, they were all depressed and unaware of the fact that I was listening, they would let out all of their frustration through the mind link probably thinking that it would not work since I am in comatose state.

From those mind links I came to know about everything that occurs in the pack. I knew that the situation was not good as they would beg me to come back.

At first I tried to mind link them to comfort them and open my eyes, move my body but all in vain. For the first six month my uncle would came in to inject me with wolf's bane but he eventually stopped realising the fact that I am not going to rise and shine anytime soon.

He hooked me up with some machines just to make sure that I was alive. Yesterday I heard through the mind link that my uncle is going to give the position of Alpha to his son and that he probably won't need me alive after the ceremony. I thanked the moon goddess for that, finally I'll be able to get out of this misery.

I was waiting for all of this to end. To become free again, to feel myself alive, to become able to move again. I was happy, you all must think that I am selfish, I am feeling happy about dying and leaving my pack into the hands of someone unworthy, someone who will lead this pack to it's doom.

But being in coma all this time I am now dying to get free. Get free from this horrible cage.

I was imagining about my afterlife when a scent caught my attention it was the most heavenly thing. I wanted to move towards the source but my given state wasn't allowing me to.

I heard as the source of that mouth watering scent moved towards me. Someone was removing all the patches attached to my body. I could hear someone breathing. I felt something slight brush over my chest and then felt tingles all over my body.

Then something happened, something that I was wishing for, something that I had losed hope for. I felt my wolf after such a long time.

Then I felt myself slowly gaining the control of my body. I opened my eyes and stared at the girl trying to remove the patches on my left side. I felt her stiffen and then her violet eyes met mine and I was lost in them instantly.

My wolf was trying to gain control, while I was still lost in her devine scent. Her lips parted slightly as she started at me intently probably trying to grasp the situation, her plump pink lips were so tempting that I couldn't resist more and kissed her.

I felt her get shocked a little bit, but she quickly recovered from it and kissed me back. Our kiss was soft and passionate with our lips moving in complete sync.

I wanted to take her right here but suddenly got aware of my condition when I heard my wolf.

I realized that I have grown a beard and have long hair plus haven't taken a bath in long time. I must really look like a freaking caveman. Breaking our kiss my mate whose name I am yet to know pulled me out of the small room I was in.

I stumbled a bit but then regained my posture, I guess that's what happens after lying down for 2 years. My mate bought me out of the pack house and to her car. She pushed me to the backseat and got in with me she told the driver to take us to the nearest town.

She told me her name and when I asked about where she was taking me, she refused to answer.

The car stopped in front of a salon. She hopped out and practically dragged me. I was shocked not only at my state but at the thought that I met my mate when I looked this hideous.

After seeing my reflection I silently thanked the goddess that my mate didn't reject me at first sight. She asked the barber to give me a classic hairstyle then took the keys from her driver and drove away. What was she thinking?

Most importantly what is she going to do? These were my thoughts,but I was afraid to know, I mean I am not in my best condition right now and it would be completely normal for her to reject me.

I asked the man standing in front of me whether I can take a bath before the haircut and he agreed to let me use the staff's bathroom. The bathroom was actually very small, but luckily had a bottle of shampoo and a bar of soap. I started to undress and noticed that I was still shirtless. I took a quick bath and saw as the water turned light brown.

Wow how can Ariel still kiss me with all this dirt on me, I bet I tasted horrible. I shook my head to get rid of all these thoughts. We'll eventually make it up to her my wolf said.

I walked out of the bathroom and asked Ariel's driver to get me a bubble gum.

Ariel returned after about an hour and I was happy to see her. Luckily she didn't left me behind. She bought a suit for me to change into. I took it and quickly changed.

I saw my reflection and was surprised not only by my mates fantastic taste in clothing but also because how much better I looked now, much better than before.

Satisfied with my look I stepped out. First thing that caught my attention was my mate standing there all dressed up, she also applied light make up.

I noticed that she was looking at me instantly making me self conscious. She then had a distant look in her violet eyes, meaning that she was probably mind linking someone. I also wanted to do that, by using our mate bond a thought came to my mind.

Maybe I am thinking ahead of myself. Ariel walked towards me a placed a light kiss on my lips instantly getting rid of all the negative things in my head. She then intertwined our fingers. "Let's go", she said in her melodic voice.
