The Blue Wolf

Part 8

Arabella's Perspective:

I just stood there, like a moron, listening to Will. He hadn't noticed me yet, and if we had, he didn't give any signal that he did. "Michael, I don't care what the head judge of the council says. No ones going near Arabella. Especially when I haven't even marked her yet. She's already scared as it is. I don't know how she's going to react to me telling her I have to dig my teeth into her neck. And also, how dare they question if she's my mate or not? Simonetta has already confirmed it. And honestly dude, when are they gonna let the Erika thing go? It's been fucking three years."

Wait what? I thought they were Werewolves, not Vampires. Were Vampires real too? No way in hell was I going to cooperate with anyone wanting to bite into my neck. Also this was the second time I heard the name Erika. And why did I seem like I was being compared to her?

The gasp that escaped my lips was what brought Will's attention to me. With his eyes fixed on me, he quickly said "Mike I gotta go. See you down there." Then suddenly got up. He started walking towards me, his eyes never leaving mine.

I walked backwards until the cold wall hit me and I quietly yelped. When he was only a step away from me, I put my hands out and pushed him back slightly. With every bit of courage I had, I said "I swear to god, if you try to hurt me, I will fucking kill you."

William laughed lightly "I'm not going to hurt you, Arabella." I looked at him like he was stupid. I spoke in my smart ass tone now"Yeah um, I'm not too sure about that Sir, biting into my neck with your long, sharp werewolf teeth, I think that's what you would call....you know? Violence. And harming someone. So please stay away from me."

He took a step closer to me, I held my breath, pushed him back again, but before I could escape, he put his hands on the wall. Locking me in-between his arms. I could feel that warm energy between us. The one he talked about but I tried to keep my focus intact.

He smirked "I like when you call me Sir." My cheeks burned with embarrassment and my body felt hot all over. I turned my head to the right and closed my eyes for a second before I said "I called you Sir, because I don't know you, I have no idea who you are, I don't wanna know you, again thank you for saving me from those guys, but I'd like to go home now, and this is illegal, to keep me here, against my will."

William leaned in closer to me, his lips near mine. I could smell his minty breath. With only authority in his voice he said:  "This is your home now. Do whatever you want. I won't let you go."

This pissed me off further. I said irritated "Why the hell do you have to bite me?" He looked at a shorter curl of mine that was falling on my forehead and smiled. He touched it with his left hand. "Your hair's so pretty." I swatted his hand away from my face and tried to escape again. But this time he grabbed my hips, under the baggy sweatshirt I was wearing. His body gently against mine now.

He looked at my neck and said "I have to bite you to make you mine. It's called marking." He smiled like a child now. "It's a gesture of love."

I scoffed. "It's an act of violence. Please let me go." He was looking down at my lips now. He commanded "Arabella. Kiss me."

WHAT? WHAT THE HELL? HOLY SHIT I NEEDED TO ESCAPE FROM HERE.

At this moment nothing was pulsating through my veins but anger "Excuse me?" William smiled again, and said "Kiss me." I tried my hardest to push him away from me, but he didn't even budge. He said "You're cute."

I said "One, I'm not going to kiss a stranger. Two, back away from me." He smiled again and his blue eyes were now completely black. I was too distracted looking at them, so I barely registered when he closed them, leaned in to me and kissed me deeply. I used all my force and pushed him away.

I saw hurt flicker in his eyes for a moment before he said "Arabella." And moved in to grab me again. I slapped him right across the face and ran into the washroom. I locked the two locks that were behind the washroom door and thought of what to do quickly. I could hear Will saying something behind the door, but I didn't care.

I opened up the large washroom window, put the slip on shoes on my feet, that I had brought into the washroom before my shower. I climbed out of the window, outside of the bathroom. From standing on the roof, I looked down. It looked like it was about two floors up, and the grass looked soft . I quickly went back into the washroom.

Grabbed two of the blankets, wrapped them around me, like a cocoon, they would cushion my fall at least a tiny bit, and jumped off the roof. I fell on the ground with a thud and let me tell you it hurt like a mother.

I didn't move for the first half a minute. Then i slowly started moving to see if anything was broken. No it wasn't. But I'd definitely see bruises on the left side of my body later today.

I got up carefully. Leaving the blankets there. And looked around. I saw a very huge garden, that had big trees, big bushes, flowers, a vegetable garden. It looked like a okay place to hide.

I ran there quickly, in my pained state. I saw a big angel oak tree. There was a big bush right by it. I jumped in and decided to hide there.

I had been catching my breath and hiding in it for a few minutes when I heard a mans voice close to me laugh lightly and say "I'm sorry but that's a terrible hiding spot, Miss."

This was probably one of William's men anyways and I realized they'd tell William where I was within a short time. So I slowly made my way out of the bush. Embarrassed, I started removing the leaves and twigs out of my crazy hair. Then I looked up.

This guy looked just as ripped as Will, he was a boyish sort of attractive, he had black hair that he had styled in a slicked back way, he had bright green eyes. He looked at least to be in his late twenties. He had a Polaroid camera hanging on his neck, and a back pack on. He kind of looked like a tourist.

He stared at me a little too long and then cleared his throat. He extended his hand to me: "I'm Alpha Ryker, and you are?" I sarcastically said "Oh I'm Abductee Arabella Lone." and shook his hand. He chuckled and said "Oh yes, I suppose you must be having trouble adjusting here. I can understand."

The wheels in my head started spinning. "Wait you said, you're Alpha. Isn't there only supposed to be one Alpha in a pack?" He looked up at a Oak Tree that had red leaves and took a picture with his camera, waited for the picture then put it into his coats pocket. "Yes Arabella. That is correct. My Pack is The Eclipse Pack. I'm just here to take pictures." He pulled the picture out of his pocket and handed it to me. I looked at it and it really did look beautiful. I handed it back to him. He said "See I love leaves."

I spoke quickly "Look you seem like a nice person, can you help me escape? I'll do anything, but can you please?" Ryker made a strained expression "No I'm sorry: I can't do that. But I can take a walk with you? Would you like to accompany me?"
