The predator stopped. A deathly threatening growl erupting from him as he turned around towards the omega.
Keiran's eyes turned red and his canines expanded, ready to transform into the alpha wolf he is to protect his mate. "Evelyn, what are you doing? Stay still!" He sneered at his mate who was inching closer to the tiger.
Maria tried to stop Evelyn by grabbing her hand but the poor woman didn't have any energy left in her to win against the very persistent girl.
"David! Shoot!"
The omega heard a shout from above which made her eyes widen. "NO! " She cried, taking a few more steps towards the tiger.
Keiran's eyes widened and he growled when his mate leaped towards the tiger. "Evelyn!" He shouted petrified when the girl stood in front of the furious predator with her arms wide open to protect it.
The tiger froze.
The animal stood confused for a second, inspecting the trembling human in front of him. He took a few steps towards the girl and circled her slowly, sniffing and growling in the process.
It was obvious that the tiger was still on guard.
Keiran was a few feet away, frozen in his position. One wrong move from him and the tiger could easily pounce on his mate. But the alpha was ready to transform and fight the predator in case something bad happened.
The tiger stopped in front of her and slowly came forward to sniff her.
Evelyn suddenly felt calm for some unknown reason.
Her trembling hands slowly reached towards the troubled predator.
He was a little hostile at first but then stayed still as her hand inched closer to his head. The omega's small hand met the soft fur of the dangerous creature in front of her and suddenly, a train of emotions rushed through her mind.
Pain, loneliness, fear, anger, confusion, and helplessness were all part of it. She looked into the tiger's eyes that seemed like two endless black holes of sorrow.
"H-Hi, " She croaked out, her voice trembling.
The tiger purred in reply before taking a step closer to her.
"Evelyn! " Keiran shouted in panic, taking a few steps towards the omega before she put a hand up to stop him.
"I'm fine, " She said with a small smile and then wrapped both her hands around the tiger. She buried her face into the predator's fluffy fur. "I'm sorry you had to go through all that, " She whispered sadly, hugging the predator close.
The tiger only whined, snuggling into her more.
The sight was an astonishing one for everyone who witnessed it. Mr. Walker's jaw was on the floor while David looked like he still couldn't believe this was happening.
However, Keiran stayed alert and tense. His eyes were still glowing red as he watched the omega interact with the animal.
"Keiran, come here, " She called her mate with a small smile. The alpha sighed and slowly took small steps towards the girl. She took his hand as soon as he was beside her and put it on the tiger's head. "He's cute, isn't he? "
The alpha frowned before he nodded.
Has his mate always been this daring and carefree?
"Hmm… " Keiran hummed and petted the tiger, his eyes turning back into its normal dark blue color.
The predator was busy snuggling into Evelyn's chest and drawing little giggles out of her. It annoyed Keiran a bit but he chose not to say anything.
"Maria! "
Everyone turned around to see Mr. Walker who came down by using the rope Keiran tied. He immediately went towards his mate and hugged her. "Are you okay, dear? " He asked the lady who nodded in reply with a small smile.
The alpha of the Bluemoon pack stood up with his mate. He turned to Evelyn with wide eyes. "How…?" He whispered. "We tried everything to tame him but nothing worked… How did you do that? "
Evelyn felt the tiger stiffen as Mr. Walker came towards them. He let out a small growl that made the alpha stop.
"Hey, stay calm, " Evelyn slowly patted the tiger's head, making his growl turn into a pur. The omega looked at the older alpha. "Maybe you should have tried to communicate with him rather than trying to dominate him, " She said, her words coming out like a sharp knife towards the alpha.
"Mr.Walker, we can talk about this later. I think we should get our mates treated first. I'm sure they are injured from the fall, " Keiran intervened.
The older alpha nodded before looking at his mate. "I'll arrange for that, "

"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," Evelyn nodded at her mate.
"Do you feel any pain when you walk or move your hands? " The alpha asked worriedly.
Evelyn shook her head."No, there are some scratches on my legs and hand but they already treated it,"
Keiran hummed. "Mr. Walker is waiting for us in their packhouse but we can go to the room if you want to rest,"
"No, I'm okay," The omega smiled. "Let's go to the packhouse,"
Keiran stared at his mate for a minute and sighed before taking her face in his hands. Evelyn felt her heartbeat speed up as she stared at the alpha's eyes."You scared me so much today," He breathed out, his nose touching hers.
Keiran leaned down the next second and kissed the omega's plump lips, making a soft gasp fly out of her mouth.
"Mhhmm…" Evelyn moaned softly and clutched the alpha's shirt in a tight grip.
They kissed for a few minutes before pulling away from the lack of oxygen. Evelyn was beetroot red while her mate had a cocky grin plastered on his face.
"Come on, let's go," He said and took the omega's hand in his.
Evelyn was too flustered to reply so she just nodded and followed the alpha.

"I don't know how to apologize or how to say thank you," Mr. Walker said with a sigh. "Whatever I say won't be enough…You both had to go through two life-threatening experiences in our pack in just two days." He looked at the young couple sitting opposite him.
"You guys even saved my mother's life… Our pack will forever be grateful to you," David said and slightly bowed to show his gratitude.
"It's not anyone's fault… I think things happen for a reason…" Evelyn gave them a small smile.
"Don't say that, dear. If it weren't for you, my mate wouldn't be alive now," Mr. Walker shook his head. "And as to thank you for what you did, I, the alpha of Bluemoon pack, vows to grant you any of your wishes now or in the future when you'll need it," He said with a hand on his heart.
Evelyn's eyes widened as she heard the words. "What?" She breathed out before looking at her mate.
Keiran had a faint smile on his lips. "You can ask him whatever you want," The alpha said to the girl.
The omega was about to refuse before something came into her mind. Evelyn stared at her mate for a minute before she gulped. The girl turned to the alpha of the Bluemoon pack. "Anything?" She questioned with her eyebrows furrowed.
"Yes, dear," The alpha nodded with a smile."Anything,"
Evelyn looked down for a minute before she took a deep breath. She lifted her gaze towards the awaiting alpha in front of her.
"I want… I want you to release all of your animals…"
