A Pure Hearted Mate

Chapter 30: Blowing the Whistle

[ Rebecca Miller P.O.V ]

All I've known in this world. Is that a world with second class citizens and people are humans. As much as werewolves try to dress it up like anything else was irritating. When I had a mate, I was only reassured by how much he believed this to be true. 

He hurt me, took everything he wanted, but my strength and will was not broken. That same strength that helped claw my way out of the arrangement. Thankfully, I had my daughter. I was not going to do anything but live my own life the way I wanted to. But most people would want to leave the child with the father. I had that thought once, but once I held Autumn. I truly did love her once I met her and she became the only good thing out of the whole relationship. 

I couldn't follow my dream goals or took opportunities, because I was going to focus on doing jobs that I could provide for my daughter. It was only when had a job that I couldn't get a sitter for Autumn and had to take her with me to work that it happened. Autumn was about three, but then a police officer noticed that I had taken her with me. He offered to help watch her and he started to offer to help and we became good friends. After a while, I fell in love with him. 

He knew how the world was but he still believed that he could commit justice in the world that applies to even the Alpha's. In that way, he knew how the world was and decided to laugh and smile in the face of it all.

Even now, as I'm firing my Glock G45 Gen 5 9mm 4.02'' barrel handgun. I don't need to kill this complete asshole, I just need to keep him here in front of me. I need to buy time for Autumn to get away. I don't intend on killing. These bullets aren't the silver laced ones that my husband has in his guns for work. I remember that I told him one day that it'd be safe to learn how to fire a gun. He taught me and got me a gun of my own for protection. 

All these bullets can do is inflict pain and cause him some difficulty by hurting him a little. But I have to shoot at him a lot more now to gain his attention. I started to get frustrated and yelled after a while of this shooting which I've used about a couple rounds.

" Andrews...YOU WILL DIE BEFORE I LET YOU TAKE HER! " Andrews grumbled. " Ugh, seriously? You too, why does things have to escalate. She's mine, so give up shooting me already! " But when his bullets wounds were finally almost all healed up he started to shift. 

He became a hugely massive wolf and I fired out of pure instinct to protect myself. The bullet missed but I quickly was getting worried and checked my gun and noticed that Autumn was standing against their car. I noticed when he shifted the keys to the car along with other pieces of clothing were on the grass yard. But then I started to worry as I noticed he was growling angrily at me and was about to attack. 

I could feel even as I stood facing him that my legs were shaking as I tried to stand my ground holding my gun in both my hands trying to keep my hands steady. But in a blur I was pinned to the ground and my gun was out of my reach. Andrews kept the gun away from me and before I could try to find a way out of this. Pain is what was painted so vividly in my senses.

[ Autumn P.O.V ]

In that moment, time spad up as I tried to enter the car, but the moment I saw the image of the massive body of the wolf. The last moment I turned my head and body to see time starting to slow back down. I was caught off guard by Andrews sudden slashes, and Mom had no time to retaliate. Andrews moved away from her body and and started to move back and shifted back. I was startled by the sight of this and I was slowly starting to stagger on quickly numbing feeling in my legs.

My Mom was laying on the ground having herd the horrendous sound of piercing flesh, followed by a choked sputtering. A streak of warm blood splattered onto Andrews face. Mom's eyes were wide open in stark pain as her chest, stomach, and arms looked torn and lashed brutally. A choked sputter escaped her quivering lips. She limply laid on her back, lying in a growing pool of her own blood. I reached out to her, frozen in shock. "MOM!"
