Descendant Of The Red Moon

Chapter 3

In front of me is standing a very tall and muscular man. With tall, I mean like really tall. I’m pretty sure he’s a little taller than dad, who’s already 6 feet tall. He had longer dirty blond hair and green vibrant eyes.

I’d probably find him really handsome if my mind wasn’t clouded with pure confusion and fear.

“Victoria?” he calls out again but I’m still not responsive.

I’m just staring at him, hoping that someone is going to come in and tell me this is all a joke.

He let’s out a sigh as he looks down and pushes himself of the edge of the desk he was leaning on. As he starts approaching me, I immediately start backing away which makes him stop in his tracks and run his hand through is hair.

“Look, I know that this is all really confusing but I’m doing this do protect you ”, he says as he looks back up at me.

How can he say that, he’s basically dragging me away from my home.

“You’re taking me away from my family…

And they are basically letting you” I say as a single tear escapes my eye.

“Oh sweetheart, you have no idea…”

Alexander p.o.v. (a few hours back)

Victoria has been home for a little bit now. I felt her stress and anxiety the moment she stepped in the house.

But this man is acting so immature and ungrateful.

I’ve known Victoria is my mate for over a year now and even after finding out their big family secret, I still did everything in my power to protect her and her family from any harm. I should have just taken her the moment I laid my eyes on her…

“She doesn’t know about any of this Alexander. We know what’s best for her”, Matthew Sullivan said.

We’ve been arguing about this for the past four hours and I’m really starting to loose my calm. Normal werewolfs would have taken their mate immediately yet I gave them more than a year to prepare her and tell her everything. But did they? No

They choose to be stubborn, like the situation was just gonna go away if they didn’t give it any attention.

“You can’t keep hiding from this Matthew”, I say after letting out a big sigh.

“I understand your situation but you’re staying away from my daughter and that’s final”

Okay, that’s it.

“IV’E BEEN PATIENT THE PAST YEAR. A WHOLE f*****g YEAR, SULLIVAN.

THEY FOUND OUT AND IT’S NOT GOING TO TAKE LONG BEFORE THEY FIND OUT WHERE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE” I yell slamming my fist on the desk. This human is really testing me.

His calm demeanor aggravates me even more as he just keeps quite as if letting a kid calm down from their tantrum.

“SHE’S NOT SAVE HERE AND I WON’T LET ANY HARM COME TO HER. EVEN IF THAT MEANS I HAVE TO DRAG HER AWAY FROM HERE” I add as my hands ball into fists.

“YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TAKE HER AWAY FROM US”, he yells back, standing up too.

“I HAVE EVERY RIGHT. SHE’S MINE”

This man isn’t just testing me but my wolf as well, who’s ready to rip his throat out any second now.

“SHE’S OURS. YOU’RE CAUSING HER NOTHING BUT MYSERY” he dares shout.

“DO YOU EVEN KNOW EVERYTING I DID FOR YOUR FAMILY THE PAST YEAR? YOU SHOULD BE THANKING ME ON YOUR KNEES, YOU UNGRATEFULL HUMAN”

“WHO DO YOU EVEN THINK YOU AR-“

“ENOUGH, the both of you”, his wife suddenly says barging in the office.

“She’s already confused enough, she doesn’t need to hear all of this” she adds, reminding us that the whole house probably heard our yelling.

Fuck

“I’m sorry Amanda but I’ve been trying to tell your husband that she isn’t save here anymore. I will protect her” I tell her, getting ready for her to start fighting me on this as well.

“To hell you will. I don’t ca-“

“He’s right, Matthew” Amanda whispers, grabbing both of our attention.

“WHAT?”, he yells turning to his wife.

“You have been noticing it as well, they are getting too close. I can’t lose her like that”, she sadly says to her husband.

I mentally thank her. I honestly don’t know what I would have done if they both wanted to keep Victoria away from me.

“My pack will keep her safe, I will protect her with my life”, I say turning to Amanda.

“I know you will, alpha”

Back to present

“No, YOU have no idea. You don’t know anything about me or my family. What even gives you the right to just decide something like that?” I half yell at him.

I’m safe here with my family and we never had any sort of trouble with anyone. This guy can’t just come in and start controlling everyone like he’s the king of all people.

I see him thinking for a moment at my sudden outburst. He slowly starts walking towards me again which makes me back up cause even though I’m getting angry, he has this intimidating and dominating aura surrounding him.

“I know it might see-“

“You’re acting like I’m some sort of property for people to just pass around. You can’t order everybody around just because you feel like it, who do you even think you are?” I say angrily.

All rational thinking is out the window. I’m not letting this guy tear up my family, whoever he is.

“Victoria, listen..”, he starts sternly.  I see he’s slowly loosing his cool as his hands are balled into fist beside him but who’s he to get mad in this situation.

“No, seriously? Who do you think you are?” I interrupt him again as I feel my back bump into the wall.

“Victoria, stop” he lowly threatens, standing right in front of me now as his eyes seem multiple shades darker than before.

“Is that something you do for fun, you sadist? Just plucking people away from their home. Do you enjoy hurting me an-”

My eyes closed on impulse as I had seen his fist coming up but ‘luckily’ he had punched the wall right next to my face.

Feeling his heavy warm breath suddenly on my skin, I immediately open my eyes and see him leaning in to my neck. I’m completely paralyzed as he keeps breathing in and out as if calming himself.

“Do you even now how hard it was to stay away?”, I hear him whisper so quietly I almost wouldn’t have heard it.

After a few minutes he pulls away and looks deep into my eyes. Standing this close to him I notice how divinely attractive he actually is. His hair fell perfectly, even though he had run his hand through it multiple times, with a few strands falling into his face. His eyes, now I saw them up close, weren’t just green but even had some gold in them. I would believe it that if you looked in them for too long, you would get completely lost.

Even the rest of his face was perfect; his cheekbone, eyebrows, perfectly shaped jawline,…

When I focus on his lips I see that they’re turning into a big smirk, you’d almost forget he just punched a hole in the wall.

That’s when I realised I’ve been staring so I quickly snap my eyes back to his, seeing to cocky expression playing on his face.

Just as I see his mouth open, probably to make a stupid remark, we hear someone knocking on the door.

I hear him sigh and he carefully takes a few steps away from me as we both watch the door as my mom peeks through.

“Victoria, there are a few things I need to ask Alexander. Maybe you could get your bags ready?” Mom asks me with a small smile.

I just quietly walk outside. I don’t really know how to respond. I’ve cried, shouted and been quiet yet none of my reactions have had an effect whatsoever.

As I make my way to the backdoor I hear the four guests and dad immediately stand up and look my way.

“I’m just getting some air, relax”, I say with my eyebrows slightly furrowed. They seem to relax a bit and give me some space again. Good…

This is so frustrating.

I know that they’re not telling me something and I don’t understand why.

We never had secrets in this family…

Maybe if I had known I would have come up with a rational decision but since I don’t, there’s only one impulsive solution I can come up with.

So I make a run for it…

It’s completely dark here.

I’m constantly running into trees or tripping over branches. The only reason I’m not already calling for help is that I know that the distance between me and the street shouldn’t be longer than a mile. That is if I’ve ran in a straight line, which after a few minutes, I’m certain of that I didn’t.

I hear leaves and twigs snapping all around me, alerting me I’m not alone.

I really shouldn’t have run of.

Great idea, Tori.

Just f*****g great.

After a few more minutes, I finally see the street lights from afar and start working my legs even faster but before I could I’m forcefully rammed against one of the trees.

“ARE YOU f*****g CRAZY” I’m pretty sure this is the French Alexander dude.

“DO YOU KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THAT WAS? YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN HURT” he shouts again as his fingers dig in my shoulders.

“It was worth a try”, I mutter, expecting him not to hear that.

“Can you just stop acting like a little child?” He slightly loosens his grip on my shoulders.

“f**k you”, I say and a few seconds later the smirk is back to his face which pisses me of even more.

“Once we’re home, gladly sweetheart”, he says slyly as he starts dragging his fingers slowly down to my waist which makes me flinch.

Not because I didn’t expect him to do that but because it feels like weird sparks go off wherever his fingers touch.  

“Se-riously?” I stutter even though I wanted to sound annoyed.

I could mentally facepalm myself.

Stuttering in front of you abductor, good move…

“Oh, I’m very serious”, he adds as his eyes start trailing me up and down.

Oh, I don’t think so honey.

“Hey perv, eyes are up here”, I say as a take his hands of my body.

“Allright then, I think it’s time to leave”, he tells me holding out his hand.

“Still not going”, I say  as I keep my gaze everywhere but at him.

“Victoria…”

“Nope”, I tell him again to which he rubs his hands in his face.

He’s kinda cute when he’s frustrated.

No, nope, he’s not.

“Why do you all have to be this stubborn”

“It’s a talent” I answer him.

“Okay…”, he states and my eyes almost pop out their sockets.

Oh my god.

He’s not gonna take me.

I can stay here.

“The hard way then” he says and throws me over his shoulder before I could even react.
