The Fate of the Unknown

Chapter 50: explanation

I explain everything that had happened to Caitlyn. She is furious. I keep trying to calm her down. Her and her wolf are wanting to rip Eric to shreds. While she is freaking out and fighting for control, Maverick comes running out. Clearly panicked.

“What is going on?” Maverick asks Caitlyn who ignores him and is still pacing trying to calm down.

He looks around and sees the scene in front of him. Eric still unconscious on the ground. The table and chairs knocked over. My smeared makeup.

He walks over to me and asks very gently, “please tell me what happened. I’m assessing the scene and might be able to guess… But I would really like to know what happened.. In detail..”

I look at Caitlyn who was still pacing. I could see her eyes shifting colors as she did.

I look back at him and said “it’s a very long and uncomfortable story. I’m all my fault. And I’m sorry I ruined the night.” I say starting to tear up again.

This causes Caitlyn to come to a halt, and rush to me wrapping her arms around me. Then pushing back a little so she could look at me. She wiped my tears away with her fingers. “Look at me Lex. NONE of this is your fault, and YOU didn’t ruin my night. You should have let dad deal with him before. But THIS is NOT your fault!” She stated sternly.

Maverick nods his head and then looks spaced out for a minute. Mind-linking someone, maybe?

Soon my dad and multiple guards come out.

My dad looks beyond furious. He and the guards go to collect Eric off the ground.

“I’m sorry!” I shout.

My dad turns his rage filled eyes to me and like a click of a pen his eyes changed to empathy. He walks over to me, gives me a tight hug, and helps me to a chair. “You have absolutely no reason to be saying sorry. NONE of this is your fault. I will be dealing with him later. Can you please tell me what happened?”

I explain to him how I came outside to sit down. How he came out after. Kept questioning who knew I was out here or knew I was gone. How he kept getting closer and touching me. And how he had grabbed me where he shouldn’t have and kissed me. How I screamed and head butted him. Making him fall backwards. I flipped the table and stood up. But stupidly stood full weight on my broken leg. Then he slammed me on the ground. Making my head hit table and then the ground. How he climbed on me, pinned my arms, and stuck his hands up my dress. I closed my eyes due to the picture of pain and fear, that’s when someone ripped him off of me. I didn’t see it happen as I had my eyes closed.

“So you didn’t see who pulled him off of you?” My dad asks skeptically.

“Well.. I didn’t see who did the action. But once I felt he was off of me I sat up and saw it was Dimitri who pulled him off of me.” I quickly reply.

Caitlyn looks at me and her eyes became huge. I didn’t tell her who pulled him off, mainly because she didn’t ask.

It was quiet for a moment.

“Dimitri? As in the prince of darkness?” My dad ponders.

I nod my head.

“Now why was he over here? Was he invited to the party?” He questions trying to figure this all out.

That’s when I heard his voice again, “I was out for my evening stroll when I heard a blood curdling screaming. I followed the sound to find him on top of your daughter. As she had begged him to stop and I could smell the blood from the impact of the table before she hit the ground.” He pauses. “Which probably will need stitches.” He states as he slowly approaches us.

My dad sat in thought for a moment, then quickly stood up, and shook his hand. “Thank you! You saved my daughter from unwanted contact and I will forever owe you.”

“You owe me nothing. I am just glad I was able to prevent what could have happened..” He replies with a little bit of anger building towards the end of his statement.

“Very well. I think we better head in and call it a night.” My dad states. Everyone starts to head inside. I stand up and look at Dimitri.

“May I have a word alone with your daughter?” Dimitri asks my dad.

“I’m not sure if I should leave her alone with anyone right now..” my dad says almost as if he was thinking out loud.

“I understand your fears. It will only be a moment, and then she may join you.” He simply states.

My dad nods his head and looks at me, “I will be inside if you need anything. I’ll get you a plate of food together for when you come in. Ok?” He asks me.

I nod quickly. He does a half smile and heads in, closing the door behind him.

It was quiet for a moment.

I start to shrug his jacket off, “you must have come back for your coat. Hold on a second.” and hand it to him.

“I never left.” He replies. Somehow making my heart stop. He never left?

He start to smirk. “I can see those wheels turning. I never left. When your sister threw the door open, it caught me off guard. I fled, but I wasn’t far, and I definitely didn’t leave. I just knew I needed to get away from you… I find it hard to keep my hands to myself around you.” He says making my insides do a flip and making me blush.

He grabs my hand and kisses the top of it. “Until then my little dove.” He says and then is gone.
