RUN LIZZY! RUN! My wolf shouts. I shift into my pure, snow white wolf and run back to my pack.
I mind link to Eddie
Eddie! Wolves are coming to attack the pack! Get all the women and children into the bunkers. Then get Dad's Beta to get the best warriors to surround the main part of our pack while the trainees surround the inner circle! Hurry!!
I heard you Little Sister! I've already mind linked Beta Johnson. Please be careful!
As I run, the enemy wolves start to come closer to me. One of them stop in front of me, making me trip. When I get myself back up, I'm surrounded by three wolves: one brown wolf, one grey wolf, and one blonde wolf. One of them lunges and bites into my neck. It hurts like crazy, but I twist my neck graze the brown wolf's jaw with my teeth. He whimpers and the grip he has on my neck loosens. I rip out and lung for his neck. I cut off his oxygen and he falls unconscious.
The other two wolves are circling me. I bare my teeth into a snarl at them. The grey wolf lunges for my neck, I dodge it and bite into his throat. He whimpers in pain. Claws dig into my back, dragging me off him. But the claws come out. I look and see my older brother Eddie fighting the wolf.
Hello little sista. How are we?
Thank goodness you're here!
Why? You were doing pretty good before I got here.
Eddie finally knocked the blonde wolf unconscious while I did the same with the grey wolf.
Come on! We have to get back to the pack!
We run back as fast as our wolves can carry us. We came into the clearing of our pack house only to see mates pushing their women and children into the bunkers. Eddie helps one of our wolves fight a huge black wolf. When I look back at the bunker all the women and children are inside, except one little boy crying and shrieking for his mother. I run and pick him up by his shirt in my mouth. I quickly carry him towards the bunkers that were closing.
Wait! I have a child! A boy! I mind linked to every young woman in the bunker.
A woman with a tear-stained face pushed out of the crowd, "Mine! He's mine!" She grabs him from me. The little boy wraps his arms around his mother's neck. "I thought I lost you, my sweet boy." She sobbed.
I close the bunker doors and race out into the chaos. I was strong as I was fighting the wolves, but now I feel my strength waning. I'm not as experienced as the warriors in battle. My body isn't used to spending its energy so quickly.
Lizzy! Run! We have plenty of warriors! You're weakening. Get yourself somewhere safe! Go!
Please be careful Eddie. I can't lose you too
Jeez, woman, I ain't that weak! Have a little faith!
I run deep into the woods. I stop at one of my clothing points. I put some clothing in the bushes just in case I shift and need some covering. Once I get dressed in black cotton shorts and a baggy grey t-shirt, I hear a twig snap. I stilled. I listen for anything else. Another twig snapped, but it's closer. I felt as if someone was stalking me. I didn't hesitate to run in the opposite direction of the sounds. I hear footsteps behind me. I look over my shoulder and see a black figure chasing me. Then someone from my left tackles me to the ground.
We both wrestle on the muddle ground. Grunts an growls emanating from both of us as I try to get away. As the moonlight hit his face my eyes widen.
"Vince?!"
"Hello, little sister."
He's straddling my hips and pinning my arms above my head. "It's time you go." He says.
"Trust me, I will if you just let me go!" I shouted thrashing under his weight.
He smiles down at me with an evil glint in his heartless eyes, "No I need you gone...permanently. Wouldn't it be a shame if the pack found their precious alpha's daughter beaten to death. Then I will be next in line to be Alpha."
I growled up at him, "They don't appoint weak men as Alpha, Vince. You don't qualify for the position."
I buck my hips and he rolls of. I get on top of him and use the last bits of my energy to punch the asshole in the face over and over again, "Your request has been denied!" I shouted. He blocks one of my punches.
I feel Vince's fist collide with my cheek. His punches rain down on my torso as well. He stands up and starts to kick my side.
Kick
Kick
Kick
CRACK!
I scream out in pain. He broke my ribs. I curl into a ball, hoping to shield myself a little from his violence. I was weak right now. I had no energy left. So I tried to block as best I could. Vince grabs my shirt and rips it open, including my bra. I am totally exposed to him. He starts to go punch me again.
"Good Bye little sister," he pants. I close my eyes, waiting for impact. But it never came. I open my eyes and see the dark figure dragging my brother off me. He punches him until he's unconscious.
The dark figure growls loudly. I whimper in fear. This is it. This is the end. The dark figure turns to me, he kneels down so then I can see his face. I was expecting an ugly old scarred face, not an insanely gorgeous, sexy guy. I look into his eyes, there is an instant connection. Oh my gosh...it can't be. He growls at me, but not in a threatening way. I think he felt the connection too.
Mate. Mate. Mate. Mate! My wolf was repeating these words over and over again. In a way I was relieved in another way I was scared. Caroline said to me countless times that if my own father didn't want me anymore, how would a mate accept me? That fear of rejection cornered me into a panic. I slap my mates face. Hard. While he was stunned, I crawled away, only to be pulled back into his embrace. "Please just leave me!" I sobbed.
He forces me to face him. He cups my face and brushes away my tears. As I look into his eyes I frowned. I couldn't, help but feel like I knew him from somewhere. He pulls me into his lap while I cry. Once I calmed down my adrenaline wears off. Then the pain consumes my middle.
I moan in pain. My saviour stiffens.
"Where does it hurt most sweetheart?" He whispers into my hair. A shiver went up my spine as I heard his voice for the first time. It melted my insides in such a good way.
"My ribs. I think he broke them." Even breathing hurts. I hold my breath hoping it would stop the pain. It does, but barely.
"You don't wanna be doing that sweetheart. I've done it before. It's not fun. This is going to hurt, but you'll feel slightly comfortable." I nod. I'm so weak that I don't have the strength to speak. He takes off his long, black cotton shirt and puts it on me. I forgot that I was half naked, but it was night time, so I'm sure he wouldn't be able to see anything. After dressing me he shifts me between his legs with my back to his chest. He was right. It was slightly more relieving.
"Rest sweetheart, I'll protect you," his words bring me comfort. It was also like giving me permission to be weak this once and he can be my strength. I close my eyes, just when I'm about to fall asleep I asked him, "Who are you?"
But before he could answer, I welcome darkness as it comes to sweep me out of my pain and into peace.
