The Vampire Queen

Chapter six

" i want to apolagise for how i acted the other day, I shouldnt of said what i did." I watch her for a reaction, but i get none, not even a sideways glance . she continues staring ahead like I didnt even say anything. s**t, guess this is going to be harder then I thought.

"The scent is just up ahead, shouldn't be too hard to track whoever it is down." She says as if i never said anything to her. I take a deep breath and can get the hint of a rouges scent, I start to panic, as soon as we get to the rouge shes will disappear again. I need to fix this now or I might not have another chance.

"look.. can we talk?" I run my hand nervously through my hair.

"Depends, what do you want to talk about?" She sighs as she tucks her hair behind her ears and I all i can think about is running my hands through her hair.

"Us..." I whisper. Scared that Colton would hear me.

"There's no us, I'm not what you want me to be, you made that clear enough"

"i know and i was stupid, pleae just let me try and make it up to you"

"why should i?"

"because we are made for eachother, thats got to count for something"

she stares at me blamkly.

"Please, just give me a chance." I plead, I glance at her quickly and catch her watching me, trying to decide if she should or not.

"Meet me at the cliffs tomorrow night, one chance thats it" shes sighs as she speeds up to walk beside Owen again.

"What was that about?" Colton says as he falls into step with me.

"Nothing just about the rouges, seems they are getting out of hand" I lie. I hate lying to him, as my future beta theres meant to be no secrets, he is meant to be like a second me, but i cant tell him this, i cant tell him about her. its too much of a risk.

"The Scent should lead you the rest of the way. hes tied to a tree..." Owen shrugs already turning around to leave

"where are you going? your supposed to show us to the rouge" I ask more to brielle then him, the idea of her leaving sending shooting pains to my heart. even though i know ill see her tomorrow it still hurts and sends a shiver of dread through me.

"the smell gives me a headache" she gives me a half smiles as she walks over to Owen and he puts an arm around her and gives her a kiss on the forehead before they walk off out of sight through the forest. I growl at the sight and have to try to control my wolf.

"chill dude, i get it they are discusting, I woulndt put it past them if they all sleep together." Colton says as he pats me on the shoulder and continues in the direction of the scent. the thought of anyone seeing or touching whats mine almost sends me over the edge as I feel my bones start to ache with the tell tale sign of my wolf trying to shift.

I hurry after colton, the sooner I get this done the sooner I can get away from here before I do something that will push her further away.

im going to win her over, one way or another she will be mine.

Brielle P.O.V

"What did that mutt want? I heard him ask you to talk?" Owen asks as we break through the tree line and start walking up the front steps to the house .

"Nothing" I mutter as I quickly walk ahead, not wanting to talk about it.

"Maybe I should go back there and ask him then "Owen smirks, clearly liking the idea of interrogating Greyson.

"Go ahead and see if I care" I call his bluff hoping he will drop it if he thinks I don't find it important. Owen stares at me fro a while before he sighs in defeat, he follows me into the kitchen and sits at the island while I put a baggie in a mug and nuke it in the microwave. I stare at the window of the microwave watching it turn round.

"Come on Bri." He says as he leans on his elbows.

I stand there quietly for a bit till the microwave dings and decided to tell him everything that happened, Owens always been there for me, not matter who upsets me or picked on me, he was there to sort it and to get them to leave me alone. he was like my older brother, the one that will always be there to protect me no matter the situation or the consequence.

"He said he wants to talk but I didn't want to so I changed the subject." I finally say and I take a sip off my drink. I look up at him and see him staring angrily out the window.

"Are you sure?." Owen says after a bit of silence, his jaw clenching.

"sure about what?"

"sure you dont want to hear him out, look Brielle, I hate that d**k but if you want to go talk to him im with you, ill support you. If you want to try with him I ll be happy for you and If he hurts you or breaks your heart then ill break his. I want you to know that no matter what you choose Im not judging, only supporting." he says while looking at me intently.

"I dont know Owen, what he said.."I start but Owen interrupts me, already knowing what im going to say.

"what he said is a d**k move and i'm not saying you should forgive him, just that you should here what hes got to say." he says as comes to stand infront of me and pulling me in for a hug. " just see how you feel when you hear him out, okay?"

"okay" i sigh.

"you should head to bed, its late" hes says as he pats me on the shoulder. just at the mention of bed I suddendly feel tired so I say goodnight and head off upstairs and get changed into my baggy tshirt and shorts and climb under the covers.

soon enough sleep over takes me.

the next day has gone by quickly while i caught up on my assignments and too soon its time for me to get ready to go see Greyson at the cliffs.

I quickly grab my leather jacket and head out to the cliffs.
