My Ghostly Wolf Protector (Book 1; Newly Rewritten Version)

Chapter Three

As I sat here on the back porch at Byrons families property, I couldn't help but think about everything that is going on. It's been almost three weeks since we got here and I'm still not to sure about everything going on. My dad and I know very little details. They won't share with us even though they are the reason my dad and I are in this position. Instead of leaving me alone like I had asked, they kept on. Now look, whoever their enemies are, they are after us too. I am so pissed about that.

Donna has tried talking to my dad but he just goes on like he's never meant her before. She should have just been honest. It could have ended differently. My dad may have walked away but at least it wouldn't be this brutal. And who knows maybe he would have given her a chance at something more had she just told him the truth about everything. It's not like she didn't know that we knew about them.

I sigh, closing my eyes as I feel a gentle summer breeze flow across my skin. It feels so nice. And I'll admit it is very peaceful out here on their property. Lucky assholes blessed with this place. Opening my eyes, I see Tallis standing before me. I just sit here looking at him, not knowing what to say to him.  He just bites his lip, turns his head to stare off into the trees in front of us as a little breeze ruffles his hair. Then he looks back to me.

"Did he ever tell you everything that happened after his kidnapping?" he asks me in whisper. Looking at him, I do feel for him. This couldn't be easy, given that Axe is his mate.

"Not everything but some details. I'm not sure he wants to share everything with me, or anyone for that matter. Not that I can blame him," I said softly to him. He nodded his head.

"I am so sorry for how we treated you. We should have never allowed ourselves or anyone for that matter act that way towards you," he said as he braced his hip on the railing in front of me.

"It is what it is. Can't change the past," I told him with a shrug.

"Could you ever forgive us for what we did and said to you?" he asked.

"Honestly I am not sure Tallis. What happened was torture and very brutal. It wasn't just verbal attacks. So honestly I can't say yes but at the same time I can't say no," I told him honestly. "Future is always changing and so do people. But as of right now, no I can't and won't. I do that then you'll never get what you did was cruel and far beyond hurtful," I finished as I turned my eyes away from him. What I said was the truth. Maybe one day I could but that day is today, tomorrow or any time soon.

"I understand that. Not like we deserve it. But just know I am truly sorry and while that can't fix anything, I will never let anything happen to you again. And when we start school we will make sure that no one comes near you," he finished as he sighed.

"I'm not returning back to school. I'm homeschooling. I will never step foot on that property again. That place became my nightmare and I never want to lay eyes on it again if I can help it. Sure as hell don't want to sit in those walls with all those who hurt me the way they did," I told him. He just looked at me shocked by what I just told him. Not sure why. Sighing I stood form the swinging bench and headed towards the back door. Heading inside I took one last look at him to see him deep in thought. Whatever he was thinking about looked to be taking toll on him. But that was not my problem. He needs to deal with his demons himself. Just like I had to at the hands of all them.

I was laying watching TV, trying to figure out why I am torturing myself with this sappy chick flick. This was not me and I hated this type of shit. I feel like I want to throw up in my mouth as this dumb girl falls for this guys lies. I mean seriously. He just wants to get into her pants and she can not see that. Gagging, I finally free myself from the torture of this movie and see Nightmare on Elm Street is on. Hell yes, now this is my type of movie. Horror and guts. Getting more comfortable I stared at the TV as Freddy was chasing on of the characters.
