Unexpected

chapter 4: what?

[Bay’s pov]

Why does she always do that? We haven’t even been here 3 minutes and she takes off. Little does she know, over half the guys at this party have had their asses beat for the s**t they say about her. Quite vulgar things to be honest. You’d think they'd know better than to talk about a man’s sister that way right in front of him.

Shortly after Sarah walked off with Liam. I make my way towards the drink table and spot Adam holding my sister's hand while they walk away from the table. What the hell is he up to? How many times do I have to tell him to stay the hell away from her? He’s the definition of a man w***e. He can play with whoevers’ feelings, or f**k around with whoever he wants, but not my sister. And not Sarah.This time I'm gonna have to beat his ass so he’ll learn. I try to follow them through the crowd but they successfully sneak off. I run my fingers through my hair and try to think. Where could they have gone?

---------

It’s been over an hour since she took off. I looked everywhere I could think of, with no luck. I ran into Sarah quite a few times. I was sure Alex would’ve been around her by now. She always takes off but usually for only a couple minutes. Say what you want, that I'm overbearing, over protective, and I am. My sister and our Gram are all I have, and to be honest, Alex is kinda reckless. Constantly wanting to go places she shouldn't, constantly wanting to do things that could get us in a lot of trouble. It’s easier to know where she's at than to worry. I wish she'd understand the dangers out there. Wait-f**k she had to have gone into the woods! How f*****g stupid is she??

As I get closer to the woods I hear hushed voices around, from different couples who split off from the rest of the party. I walk a few feet in, but close enough to still be seen from the party.

“ALEX WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GO!” Immediately after yelling, I hear leaves and twigs breaking. And my sister pops up out of nowhere.

“I'm right here. No need to get your panties in a bunch” she shrugged, a look of confusion on her face. Her face went blank as she looked at me. “Listen Bay, I love you. But we're gonna be 18 soon and we're old enough to do s**t without each other.”

“You took off without a word, after telling me you wouldn't be gone long. Its been over a f*****g hour Alex!!” Are you kidding me? Does she not see the problem in just disappearing? I’m fuming. “Why the hell are you out here? Where did Adam go huh?”

She sighed and shook her head “He went back to the party. Nothing happened Bay and if it did it’s none of your damn business!” She took in a deep breath “You know what, whatever. Have you seen Sarah? I need to talk to her about something.”

[Alex’s pov]

“We're not done talking about this. I’ll wait until we get home but this isn't over” he looked into my eyes and I nodded. Of course I wouldn't make it out of this without a stern talking too. I internally groaned. He points me in the direction he last saw her and I take off, not wanting to talk with him about anything that just transpired. Adam was still passed out when I left. Who was that guy? I need my best friend.

After walking around for a few minutes, and a few drinks to calm my nerves, I found her sitting on Liam's lap by the fire. Which also happens to be the complete opposite direction from where Bay pointed. After finishing my drink, I throw my cup in the fire as I approach the group around it.

“Hey Sarah, come with me to the bathroom please?” I looked at her with pleading eyes, when her eyes widened and she nodded. Grabbing my hand and pulling me through the drunken teenagers, we eventually made it to the bathroom on the second floor. Quickly she locked the door, turning to me as I sat on the edge of the tub.

“Okay what happened?” She looked at me with concerned eyes. I told her everything that happened from the moment I walked into the woods with Adam. By the time I finished she looked at me with shock written all over her face. Her brows furrowed as she sat in thought for a minute.

“You're sure he said mate?” she asked.

“Yes! He said it multiple times. His touch sent tingles through my entire body and it was like I was in a trance! I'm a human, I shouldn't have a mate! Especially not one who drinks human blood to survive...” I visibly cringed at the thought.

She looked at me, I could tell she was thinking hard based off of her facial expression.”Alex, we’re gonna get Bay and we’re going to the cabin.You guys need to have a talk with Gram” I nodded as we stood up.

“Umm, okay? What could possibly be that important?” I questioned.

She looked at me with wide eyes, “Everything.”

I circled back around to see if that piece of filth was still there and he was. Not too surprising, given my strength. I half expected for the human to still be on the ground. Instead I found him struggling to walk. “Well hello there. I do believe we have something to discuss...” I chuckled and within a second I had him pinned against the tree, fear filling his eyes. My fangs are out, and I'm sure my eyes are glowing.

“Please don't kill me, I didn't do anything wrong! “ he pleaded for his life, his body shaking with fear.

“Oh but you did do something very wrong, naive human. You touched what is mine. And for that, you will be my dinner tonight. And you will stay FAR away from my Alex. Do you hear me? If I see you touching her ever again I will not hesitate to rip your head off of your shoulders.” I said calmly. Before he had the chance to respond, I bit into his neck, taking just enough blood to leave him feeling dizzy but still alive. “I won't wipe your memory. Let this be a reminder of what will happen next time.”

I left him collapsed on the ground, half conscious. She is mine. Every time I blink I see those beautifully mesmerizing green eyes. I can still feel her lips dancing on mine. This is not who I am! I'm ruthless! I've murdered and hunted humans for thousands of years! She is a weakness. But I want her more than I've ever wanted anything in my life. Mate? I never thought I'd get one, I was so sure that I missed that opportunity.

I'm not sure what to do about this. But I do know for sure that every man that touches her that isn't me will die. She is mine, and only mine. There is that little problem though isn't there? She doesn't know what she really is...I couldn't tell either. Maybe it's because she isn’t of age to awaken yet. I can tell because of my sense of smell. For now I'll keep an eye on her till her birthday.

Venturing further into the forest I reach my Castle, heading straight for the shower. This is gonna be the longest weekend of my life.
