The Wolf's Guardian

CHAPTER 11. IS TIME TO GO

EVEY'S POV

I regretted the way my words came out as soon as I said them. I still love Shay. He was my mate and the love of my life after all, but Drew is growing on me. There are things that I am starting to appreciate and like about him. The damage is done, I could physically feel his heartache when I said that I could never forget Shay. Nevertheless, he is still standing now in front of me, shielding me from Ellie's fury. I always thought she had a thing for my mate. They had to train together several times, and although I am not the jealous type, Ellie was always around him, and it was evident that she was in love with him.

"You should've rejected him. He should've never taken you as his mate. I should've been his mate. If he had chosen me, he would still be alive." Ellie spills her venom, trying to look around Drew. I can't take it anymore, I took her rudeness and sarcastic comments for years, even before Shay died.

I step around Drew and hold his hand. I want him to know that I want him despite my confusion over the death of my first mate.

"You are not going to come to my house and yell at me about things you know nothing about!" I yell back.

"I know, I was there, fighting for our pack, but he had to get distracted by you! It was the fact that he knew you were in the field and saw you were in danger that he went to you! You were supposed to die, not him!" That is the worst of my memories, I can still see Shay pulling that big gray wolf off me and fighting him to their deaths. I can't help the tears that defeat me as she starts reminding me how it happened. The sound of thunder makes me come back, Ellie cowards when she realizes my mate is growling at her. He is the one making the thunder sound, or is his wolf.

"You better turn around and leave, warrior. I don't want to have to tell Alpha Scott that I killed one of his warriors because she was disrespectful with my mate." Andrew commands her with almost the authority of an Alpha.

"Shay loved me. Before he knew he was your mate, he loved me, and shortly after he found out, he didn't know how to reject you." She is still spilling venom, but I don't believe it, Shay loved me the moment he found out. He knew before me, and he waited a whole year until I could feel it, too. He never had anything to do with her. She has to be lying.

"You are lying! Stop soiling his name. LEAVE!" As soon as I say this, the wind starts moving the trees with fury. It picks up more, and it pushes Ellie, almost flying her landing very close to a tree. Luckily, she isn't harmed.

I let go of Drew's hand and try to charge towards her, but my mate stops me.

"Evey, you are obviously way stronger than her. You could hurt her. Let her go." He reasons. It is at this moment that I realize that it was me who pushed her somehow with the wind, I created the wind with my anger.

"I knew you were a freak. You are a danger to us all. You are done!" Ellie says with anger, getting off the ground and shifting to her wolf.

Andrew follows immediately, an explosion of clothes being thrown in every direction as his clothes shred and his big gray and black wolf reveals himself. It is really big, very intimidating, but Ellie doesn't seem to mind.

I almost think that I saw Ellie's wolf smirk, and instead of going towards me, she goes towards him, but he dodges her easily, bitting an ankle. I don't think he wanted to hurt her. It didn't look like a deep bite. He was probably trying to scare her a little. Ellie is so upset that I don't think she measures the reality of what is going on. Drew is a Beta. After all, of a strong, well prepared pack, he could kill her if he wanted to.

She tries again. This time, she manages to claw his chest with her front paw. The impact of what she did sent me back to the moment where Shay was killed, and a feeling of anger overtakes me. I have to help my mate!

"ENOUGH!! LEAVE!" I hear myself command her with a strength and command that I don't recognize. She doesn't stop. Now that I got her attention, she jumps at me, but the second she touches me, my body ignites, is on literal fire, I am in flames, but I don't feel like I'm burning, is different is like a self defense mechanism.

Ellie is now on the floor, her body burning. She has now shifted and is screaming in pain. Her body is on fire!

Drew shifts back and tries to roll her on the dirt to stop the fire. I run to get a water hose, and I spray her. The fire stops, but she is badly burnt. I run inside to get ointments and other things to help mitigate her pain.

I can't believe I did this. I am a danger to everyone.

"She attacked our mate, and she attacked us! She is a warrior. She could've killed us. It was self-defense!" My wolf is furious at Ellie's attempt to harm us, and at everything she said about Shay.

"Evey, call your Alpha and tell him to bring the doctor." Drew commands. I barely notice he is naked, his well defined abs and muscular arms are covered in a tattoo design. Is a wolf under the full moon in the forest fighting another. It is almost like it is telling a story, but I don't have much time to look or ask because he runs to his truck and comes back wearing pants and a shirt.

"You should also get dressed." He says, trying not to look at my naked body. I guess I am not flammable, but my clothes are. I can't help the feeling of embarrassment, I have never been on the skinny side, but I wouldn't consider myself overweight. I have always had big breasts and curvy torso and round butt. Most she wolves are skinny, and the few ones that train are so well defined that it is not difficult to feel embarrassed being around them. My mate has probably seen his fair share of perfect bodies, and now he is stuck with me.

"Evey, please, I need you to get dressed. I don't want others to look at you like this." I give him the ointment that I have with aloe vera and other things that will help Ellie. Is my fault she is like this.

"We need to take her to the bathtub. We need cold water and lots of ice." I have to do whatever it takes to help her pain. She is crying in desperation and pain. Her body is red from the burning. Drew just nods and runs outside while I try to calm myself and find something to wear.

"Lily, something really bad just happened. You and Alpha Scott need to come, bring Dr. Smothers, he needs to treat someone badly injured." I don't want to tell her over the link that I nearly killed someone just with my anger, I have to tell her in person.

"Goddess, Every. What happened? Are you alright?" She asks, worried.

"I am fine, I have to tell you in person. Please don't ask me anymore, just hurry." I respond, blocking her out.

It felt like hours since I asked Lily to come, but it just had been minutes.

After some time, Dr. Smothers comes and starts giving instructions for her to be taken to the hospital. Once gone It was just Lily with her mate and my mate.

"Evey, I think you should consider leaving the pack. After what happened today, Ellie is going to want to hurt you, and I won't be able to stop her. You almost kill her, and you heard the doctor, she might not recover 100%" Alpha Scott is firm. He is looking at me and at my mate at all times. He doesn't want to upset him, but he doesn't have a choice. My time in my pack is over.
