IGNITE

Chapter Two - Cult or Something

*Bex’s Point of view*

 I wasn't sure why but it really bugged me that Mike just stormed off without even glancing my way, but it did. 

 Kurt gave me an apologetic look, I smiled trying to look as unfazed by it as possible. This was a short stop on the way to freedom no need to get involved with any drama here, in a few hours I’d be back on the road again, but I really did need a decent sleep id been driving for hours and was pretty exhausted. 

 When we stepped into the castle once again I was shocked it was even bigger on the inside, it was stunning I was standing in a large entranceway, with a beautiful marble floor looking out into what appeared to be a large living area with couches, bean bags and the biggest Tv I had ever seen. Off to the side, there were 2 very large tables and a massive kitchen. How many people lived here I wondered, the kitchen looked as though it feeds hundreds maybe more! 

 Kurt must have noticed my question look and said “ we have a really big family” with a chuckle. 

 “Right,” I said as a beautiful girl bolted down the stairs and into the room.

 She was a bit taller them me, slim but with curves in all the right places, Dark brown cropped hair tanned skin with dark green eyes, she looked as though she had stepped off the Victoria secrets runway. 

 She squealed and hugged me, knocking me a bit of balance I managed to save myself from falling over. She stepped back and looked me all over “Hi I’m Nina I’m so excited to meet you” she said beaming from ear to ear “Hi” I replied courteously “I'm Bexley, but everyone just calls me Bex” I gave her a small smile. 

 “I'll take you to your room and help you get settled,” she said giving Kurt a passionate kiss before grabbing my hand and dragging me along behind her.

 As we were making our way upstairs, she filled me in on some details, Kurt was her partner and then had been together since they were kids. It appeared that she was Mike's younger sister and they have all lived here their whole lives. 

 I was starting to wonder if this place was some sort of weird cult, who needs a place this big and why do they all live together. Mental note to keep my wits about me, I need to get involved with some creepy cult group.

 We made it to my room and when I walked in again I was shocked, this was their guest room? Of course, it was it the room looked bigger than my house, with a large bed in the center with floor to ceiling windows that I imagined would have a stunning view in the morning.

 There was a huge bathroom, and walking wardrobe with a large mirror and vanity area for doing makeup/hair. “WOW” was all I could manage as I slowly walked around the room taking it all in.

 Hmm maybe I could join a cult if this could my life, I thought to myself jokingly.

 Nina stayed for a few minutes and chatted about life, I told her a little about Tim and why I was out here at this time of night, she was so bubbly and nice I couldn’t help but like her, after being stuck with Tim so long I had lost most of my friends and I was in desperate need of some girl talk. 

 After a while, Nina left and I snuggled into the world's comfiest bed and I was out like a light.

 That night I dreamt of running from an evil man, who somewhat resembled Tim, except repulsive and he seemed to be speaking a foreign language, almost chanting it desperately trying to find me, then there was a massive wolf he looked menacing but I wasn’t scared of it, in fact, I felt relief that it was here with me. As the wolf lunged toward the Tim like figure I woke with a jolt. 

 What the f**k kind of nightmare was that I thought to myself, this running away business was really messing with my head! 

 I looked at my phone at 5 am, I had hardly eaten all day yesterday and I was starting to get rather hungry, maybe if I sneak downstairs and grab a quick bite surely they wouldn’t miss a few slices of bread and a glass of water I thought.

 I got up and tiptoed down the stairs and back down to the first floor, I was so busy keeping quiet that when I stepped in the kitchen I didn’t notice the figure in the dimly lit room. I walked into what felt like a brick wall. “Oh s**t,” I said stepping back, and there he was Mike standing there in nothing but some loosely fitting track pants hanging off his hips. I'm pretty sure my mouth hit the floor, he looked like a god, He was taller then I remembered yesterday, f**k he was sexy, with Tanned skin, defined muscles, and the sexiest chocolate brown eyes id ever seen. His dark hair was tossed and his face unshaven. 

 “Sorry I just needed something to eat, I haven’t eaten since yesterday morning” I blurted out almost flustered why was he making me so nervous!

 He sighed and stepped further into the kitchen and started rummaging in the fridge, you could cut the tension in the room with a knife, I’m not sure what I’ve done to this man but whatever it was he’s clearly annoyed by my presence. 

 He appeared again with 2 glasses of OJ and chicken sandwich placing them on the counter and taking his glass with him back to his room. 

 I finished my snacks, washed my dishes, and made my way back to my room, I couldn’t stop thinking about Mike he was the sexiest man Id seen in my entire life, and for some reason he hated me. 

 The sooner I get out of here the better!

 *Mikes Point of View*

 Just knowing she was sleeping on the floor below me was driving me wild, My wolf was going crazies he didn’t care that she wasn’t one of us, he had waited long enough to feel this way. It was taking up so much of my energy to fight him.

 Nina would take good care of her, but no doubt she would try medal and push us together. She was a sucker for romance and had been trying to set me up with several she-wolves over the years of course I wasn’t interested in anything serious with anyone other than my mate so most just ended in one night stands. Now I know my mate is human things are different I might have to look at some of those she-wolves again. They won’t satisfy me the way my mate would but a wolf would make a far better luna than a human would of that I was certain.

 I was in an ice-cold shower trying to calm my wolf when Nina linked me to tell me she had settled Bex into the guest room. She also told me, that Bex was running from a controlling Ex-boyfriend. This infuriated me more than it should of, What kind of arsehole would control her to that point of not even letting her feed herself! 

 I smashed my fist into the wall sending shower tiles flying damnit why am I letting her get under my skin like this I thought.

 Looking around the bathroom I sighed I would have to get that fixed tomorrow, but right now I needed to try to get some sleep it had been a long night and I was ready for it to be over.

 I woke early as always to get a workout and before the rest of the warriors woke for training. 

 I wandered down to the kitchen to get a protein shake, as I turned to leave the smell hit me moments before she slammed into my naked chest, she looked up and her stunning bright blue eyes took me by surprise she was gorgeous from head to toe standing there in tiny shorts and tight singlet that showed off all her curves. The moon goddess had blessed me with the most breathtaking woman I had ever laid eyes on if only she was a wolf then I could take her and mark her as mine right here right now. 

 She looked flustered as she told me how she hadn’t eaten since yesterday morning, was I having the same effect on her and she was me? I didn’t think the mate bond worked on Humans, Id has to look into that later. 

 But right now I was pissed that she hadn’t eaten she couldn’t even look after herself how could she possibly look after our pack!

 I whipped up one of my favorite sandwiches roast chicken and salad, with a glass of OJ and left it on the counter for her as I marched back upstairs, in a hurry to get away from her before she noticed the growing bulge in my pants and before I lost all self-control.
