Her secret mate

Animal inside takes over

Berly breathing, I stared at him. My whole body was on a new level of pain, and it was not helping my already fuzzy brain that was barely functioning from the lack of oxygen. It took me a moment to fully understand what he was asking me, but I was too slow. A moment letter he was leaning over me again with a disgusted angry look on his face.

“Talk, you ungrateful little cunt…”

With those words I felt a hard slap across my cheek. A loud wounded animal sound left my mouth as I clung to my stinging cheek. Tears were rolling down my cheek as the pain got worse and it started to sting my eye.

“TELL ME WHAT YOU DID TO HIM!”

He jumped to his feet and looked ready to kick me, but before he could do that a dark figure appeared right bind him, grabbing his shoulder and forcing him to back away from me.

The familiar low growl made both me and Darcies father to freeze.

I needed to link a few times to clear my vision from tears. Then I could finally see who saved me. He stood behind the older alpha forcing him to shiver in fear.

The growl in the other man’s chest sounded more and more like a threat. There was no doubt in my chest that he will attack at any moment. But I can’t let him do that.

“Darcy…”

My voice was barely a whisper, but it was loud enough for his sensitive ears to pick up, because not a moment latter he was crouching over me. Not saying a word, he just gently wiped away a tear and then his eyes moved lower. His face darkened once more, and another low growl rumbled out of his chest. Without even looking, I knew that he saw blood there. I could taste the coppery substance on my tongue.

I knew that if I did not stop him and got his father out of the room, this will end bloody. The animalistic rage that was forming in his eyes told me that he was only millimeters away from attacking his own father.

“Darcy…”

I called out to him again and it broke the trance that the little droplet of blood had him under and his animalistic eyes turned to me.

Slowly I opened my eyes, indicating that I want him to pull me in for a hug and he dived into me with a bit too much force, knocking into me a little to harshly, drawing out a little cry sound pain out of me. Instantly his body softened as he released a sound that I could only call his wolf apologizing for hurting me.

It was a lot clearer now as to what was going on. This was not really Darcy… this was his wolf reacting to me being in pain. I guess he did not care that we are not destined mates or that I am not yet part of his pack. For him, I am pretty sure I was already his. Not only in the s****l was, but also as a pack member. The bond we have is stronger than most packs for each other. So, it’s only natural that he would react like this to me being in pain.

In pain, I let my hands wrap around him, seeking the comfort that his body could provide. Relief filled me and I could not help myself, but embrace him a bit tighter, even though I was in some serious pain.

Sure, he was not completely himself, but he was moving…. He was awake.

With happy tears stinging in my eyes, I looked up and saw shocked Darcies father staring at bot of us. His pupils still blown up in fear. Everything in his body language told me that he was genuinely scared of his son… and rightfully so, because if I had not pulled him back, Darcy would have most definitely tried to kill him.

As if he could feel me thinking about him, he lifted his eyes and met mine over Darcies shoulder.

Confused he stared at me with questions in his eyes, but I just shook my head as I mouthed RUN to him. Sure, right now he was he was clam, but he was still not in control. Goddess only knows what he will consider a threat to me and what he will do once he is no longer distracted.

The older man stared at me for a few minutes and after a short nod started to get up slowly.

As he got up and made the first move to go, Darcy’s body froze and I am sure that we both waited for his reaction in complete and utter fear, but a second latter he relaxed and pulled me in closer.

Darcy’s father moved fast and I listened to his footsteps getting quieter as he walked further away from the house.

Only once I no longer could hear him did I pull away from Darcy and placed my palms on his cheeks.

“Darcy… baby…”

He opened his eyes that still had the animalistic sheen to them.

There was not a trace of Darcy in them… not a trace of his human side.

Shit.

This was not good, he was never out so hard that there was nothing but wolf in his eyes. Goddess only knows how long he will be like this… or… or if it’s even possible to get him back.

After I did not say anything for a few moments his face furrowed in confusion, but I knew that I had to reassure him, before his emotions escalated and cause even more problems.

“Shh… it’s okay… I’m just so happy to see you back…. I was so worried.”

He face soured and I knew that it was not the right thing to say. s**t.

I took a deep breath and pushed a fake smile on.

“It’s okay…. It’s okay…. Come here hold me please.”

I said knowing full well that taking care of me will overpower the emotional turmoil in him and it worked. He pulled me in and we sat there like that on the floor up until he fell asleep on my shoulder. Now was the question would he wake up himself or still in his wolf…. If it will ne his wolf… hell… I do not know what I will do then.
