Rowan Whitethron Santiago
Blood thundered in my brain, as I kept replaying what she told me. She was only seven when she ran way. Gavin mind linked me. She was only seven years old when she ran away. I don’t think I could have survived by myself.
“How old are you now?” I asked her. It felt as if a knife pierced my heart. It bloomed with sadness for her. Why do I feel like this? I have never felt like this for anyone.
“She is twenty-two years old and I am twenty-five years old.” Ethan replied. He was watching Evalyn closely, concern and love evident in his face. I clutched my hands together, a feeling blooming in my heart.
“Why did you run away?” Gavin asked Eva
“Rogue attack.” I had a feeling that there was more to it than she was letting on. My heart ached for her.
“How did you manage to survive on your own? What did you do for food?” Gavin asked her softly.
“Ethan took take care of me. We had some money and we managed with that. Then we met a witch who covered our scent and took care of us for a few years.” She replied, her words filled with pain, as harsh memories took over her mind. I wanted to take her worry away. I wanted to make her feel happy.
“What about your parents? Are they alive” Gavin asked. Ethan reached for her hand clutching it tightly. She looked at him, an understanding passing between them. They are very protective of each other. If he didn’t make her feel safe and protected. I would have killed him by now.
“No they aren’t alive. They saved us. They bought time for our escape.” She replied. Tears threatening to slide down her cheeks.
“I am sorry.” Gavin said, his eyes filled with pity. I simply stared at her. Pain and anger for her visible in my posture.
“Have you killed anyone? I asked her. My voice barely audible.
“No, we aren’t rogues. We are just mere werewolves who has went through a lot.” Ethan scoffed.
I let out a relieved sigh. My gaze lingering on her. She was so beautiful. I wanted to make her feel safe and protected. I want to f**k the hell out of her for making me jealous. God dammit I have mixed feelings for this woman.
“What are you going to do with us? Are you going to kill us?” She asked me. Worry visible in her eyes
.“We don’t kill female wolves.” I replied.
I was taken aback by the question. What does she think about us? Does she think we are monsters or something? Somehow her opinion matters a lot to me.
“What about Ethan?” She asked in a quiet voice. Exhaustion visible in her eyes.
“Well as much as I want to kill him. He hasn’t done anything bad.” I stated, thinking of a solution.
“So, are you going to let us go?” She asked me, sounding hopeful. No sweetheart you’re mine now. I plan on doing a lot with you.
“No, I am not letting you go ever.” I said harshly. Adrenaline and pure lust pounded in my veins. I wanted to take her raw right now. I was ready to lunge at her. My claws emerging out. Surprise visible on her face.
“I have a proposition for you. You can join my pack, or you can stay here.
“She seemed taken aback. She looked scared but what is she scared about.
“We can’t join a pack as we are already part of a pack. Our pack ceased to existence when our Alpha died in the battle, but we are still bonded to the pack. The pack still exists through our lifeline. When there are no remaining wolves of the pack then only the pack will be truly gone. We are lone wolves as no one claimed the Alpha title and at the same time we can’t join a pack.” Ethan explained.“f**k. I am not letting her go. They are staying here no matter what. She is mine now.
“Then stay here as guests.” I told the first thing that came to my mind. Gavin mind linked me. Are you sure Rowan? he asked me. Yes, I replied.
“What!! We don’t want to be a burden to you.” Ethan said, assessing me.
“Please, you will be more of a burden if you are out there. You two possess a threat to my pack and those who step into my territory as you are lone wolves. We don’t see you as a threat, but others might not see you the same way we see.“I looked at Eva, she looked deep in thought. Her nose scrunching slightly, looking adorable.
“We want certain privileges. If we must stay here.” She told me. The way she told me, confident and sure made me appreciate her even more. A challenge in her tone. My hard c**k jerked in my jeans when her velvety voice reached my ears; precum leaking from my purple head.
“It depends. What exactly are these certain privileges you were talking about?” I asked her intrigued.
“A separate room for each one of us.” She demanded immediately.
“Done.” I replied hoarsely.
“You should let us train with you.“I hesitated before answering I didn’t want her to get hurt.
“Okay but female wolves don’t usually train with us.”
“That is not a problem. I can train with male wolves.” She said smiling devilishly and winking at Ethan. Who rolled his eyes? What type of relationship are they in?
“You should allow us to enter the forests and let us use for mobiles.”
“Done. Sweetheart but if you try to run away. I will find you and tie you up to my bed. Am I clear?” I said, dangerously. I heard her heartbeat flutter at my words. Especially when I called her sweetheart. Seems like she is affected by me after all. My wolf beamed at me in happiness. Such an egoistic d**k he is.
“Yes, it is clear.” She replied masking her emotions expertly.
“I will leave you two alone for few minutes, no f*****g around otherwise you’re restricted to meet each other. I will send one of my pack members to take you two your respective rooms. You can find fresh clothes in the wardrobe and basic toiletries under the basin in washroom. Feel free to ask anything.”
Me and Gavin left the room. As we reached my office. I looked outside the window watching the kids goof around. Gavin slumped on the chair and asked me.
“As much I felt the pain in their words. There is a part of me that can’t help but wonder if they are lying or not.
“You’re right but my gut is telling me to trust them.” I said my thoughts all over the place.
“Let me guess the girl is off-limits. Don’t hurt her Rowan. She went through a lot. You have to give her some time and I have a feeling that Ethan and she are closer than friends.”
With that he left the room. Shutting the door behind him.I couldn’t help but wonder if he was her boyfriend or just a friend. My blood boiled over the thought of him being her boyfriend.
No matter what. Eventually she will be m
