Calm Me Mate

Chapter 4

I am running, as fast as my paws will take me. I feel the wind blowing thru my fur, the bristles of grass underneath my paws. I am weaving around the trees. Being the alpha, my speed is immense. I start to slow down, as I approach her house. Her house is white with light blue shutters, two stories high. With my enhanced eyesight, I can see thru the window of the back door. What I see next enrages me. That woman has her hands on my Malia! I can literally see her nails digging into her arm. I should not show myself. After all these years, I have been very careful. Only show myself to my mate, that's it. I cannot stay idle tho. I do not know what this crazy woman will do, this woman who is my mate's mother. This is one of those times that I will just have to intervene. At this point, I don't give a damn about me. My mate's safety is on the line and I will not have her suffer.

***Malia's POV***

"If you divorce me, you will never see her again! You will not take her away from me!" Yells my mother. Never see dad again? She cannot do that! "She is 12. She can decide for herself. As of right now, you will let her go. You are scaring her. It's bad enough that she has to see you act this way." My mom starts to say "I will do no such-" Then there is a low menacing growl. I turn my head towards it to see the black wolf. I have not seen him in a while and now all of a sudden he is here. Not so great timing. I have never heard his growl be so threatening, he has always been gentle. He also has never been in my house! I feel my mom's grip on me loosen for a split second and I take advantage of it. I free my arm and am able to take a couple steps foward. I start to feel her fingertips on my skin tho. The wolf snaps his mouth in her direction and she retracts her hand. His teeth are so big! "Come here Malia." Says my father cautiously, with uncertainty in his eyes. Again the wolf growls, barring his teeth, and takes a step foward. Right now, to be honest, I am a little scared of him. I have never seen him angry. Then the growling stops so I look at him. He is coming towards me, I don't move. Something tells me he won't hurt me. Maybe its because he never has before. "Do something!" My mother screams. "What would you like me to do? As if I could do anything. He is threatening us, not.." trails off my my father's voice. The wolf is now right in front of my face. His eyes boring into mine.. I do not know what to expect so I just stay still. I do not dare move a muscle. His snout comes closer to me, towards my neck. He sniffs me. Then he rests his snout on my shoulder, closest to where my neck and shoulder meet.He nuzzles into the groove of my neck. There he is, my sweet wolf. His eyes glance to my arm. The part my mother was holding."Oh no! You leave my daughter alone." Says mom. In one swift move the wolf takes my shirt in his fangs, at the back of my neck and throws me onto his massive back. I grab the fur around his neck because I definitely do not want to fall.. Out of the corner of my eye, I see my father bow his head. I don't even know what that's about! The wolf starts to turn so I squeeze his fur a little tighter. He heads for the door.
