I Promise To Fight

Chapter 4: The Truth Will Set You Free or Be A Reason To Keep You Locked Up

Dameon's POV

My mate, Ariadne Smith. I finally had her. Just not in the way that I liked. I was hoping that I could take things slow and then find a way to convince her to stay with me but I was running out of time. She was safe with me and our pack now. She was family and family always protected one another. They would never get her, I couldn't let them. That's why I needed her to stay with me and become my wife. I had a better chance of keeping her safe. It was the only way considering the amount of time I had left which was nonexistent.

As I opened the front door to the house, fatigue was starting to set in. I was in a 5 hour meeting to talk about the issue of rogue werewolves spreading and causing havoc on the east. If I didn't figure out a way to handle this problem, it would soon get out of control. I needed a fast solution.

Sighing at all the things that I needed to take care of, I walked up the staircase to Ariadne's room. The guards moved out the way to let me knock. A few seconds later she opened up the door. With her milk chocolate colored skin, long dark hair and kind brown eyes she was a beauty. My beauty.

"Yes..."

Her voice was soft as silk and seemed nice enough but I could sense the feistiness lying underneath.

"You wanted answers and here I am to give them to you."

"Okay. Well then I am all ears."

She opened the door wide enough to let me pass. Entering the room I noticed that it was as nice and neat as the day she came here. She sat on the bed and not knowing where to go I decided to nonchalantly lean on her dresser. I hoped I looked casual enough.

"Okay so what exactly do you want to know?"

"I want to know why I'm here? Why I can't go back to my family? Why you really want me? Is it because you claim that I am your mate? Nope not good of an answer for me, I need to know more. Why do I need bodyguards? Where is everyone? Is it just us? Who are you really because your name isn't going to cut it for me. I need to know more information."

By now she was up and pacing, back and forth. Glancing at me every few seconds. I couldn't answer all her questions just yet. Doing so would only push her away when I needed her to stay.

"Wow there speed racer. One question at a time please."

"Huh...um... Okay I got one. Why am I here? Please do not say it's because I'm your mate. That's not a good enough answer. You and I both know it."

"It's for your protection."

"My protection? So are like my guardian angel? What? Were you sent here to protect me from the gods?"

She let out a little laugh at that. It warmed up my insides.

"Uh... Something like that."

She raised an eyebrow, silently begging me to go on.

"I can't exactly say. You just have to trust me. It's for your own good."

"Yes I know, I know, I know. You want me to trust you. That's what you keep saying but how can I trust someone I know little about? It doesn't help either that I have trust issues. Also for my own good? Please carry on because I would love to know how you leaving me in the dark is for my own "good"."

"My love, all will be revealed soon enough. It just takes time. Be patient and the truth will show itself to you. I will explain but I cannot tell you everything."

"I think I've been patient long enough. Tell me what's going on! I'm getting tired of your mystery shrouded answers. Tell me the truth!"

"You know I can't Ariadne."

"I don't anything Dameon!"

She was fired up now. Gone was her peaceful tranquility and a raging fire was taking it's place. It was unfair but I was starting to become very angry and frustrated.

"I have tried to be decorous and considerate. I was going at my own pace but you have been so exacting and impertinent when you have no idea what's going on. If you would calm down and let me explain then maybe you'd know. Huh... There's a lot of issues happening right now and I was hoping that it wouldn't turn out this way but I have no choice. There are some nefarious people after you and it's not safe where you live. Your family was in danger too and I know that you would have been devastated if anything happened to them. Hence why I had my... "friends" come and get you. I apologize if they scared you, they like to have a little fun even though it's not the best at times. Yes it is just us, a few maids and a couple of guards for additional protection and to guard you when I am away. You will not leave this property. Its too precarious and I can't let anything happen to you. Also you'll meet the rest of the gang later. You will not be returning to Chicago. Your family is updated on what's going on, they think you are living with your aunt Marcie and will return during the vacations. But it is to perilous for you to go back there. One more thing about myself is I love blueberry muffins. Now if that is all I will be returning to my bedroom. I've had quite a long stressful day. Get some rest because you will be needing it tomorrow. Sweet dreams and goodnight my beloved."

"But...but..."

I walked up to her and kissed her smooth, soft forehead silencing her. Then I quickly left her bedroom before she could regain herself and bombard me with some more questions. She will find out what I truly am soon enough. I can only have faith that it would not mess everything up. She can't run off when I finally have her.

'•*_*_~~*_*_~~•'

I was on the beach taking a nice needed run. Even though I was tired, my wolf was demanding to be set free. Since I lived on a secluded spot on the beach I knew I couldn't get caught. I still had to be careful. There could be lurking eyes. Lurking eyes does not equal good in my case. Stripping off my clothes so it wouldn't become similar to shredded cheese, I shifted forms signing in relief. Light raided off of me brighting up the beach. Colors ranging from gold to silver shone in the night sky. One thing I hated about being a alilf is that our kind was as bright as a blue giant. It was challenging trying to sneak up on prey or other predators but not impossible.

After roaming around the beach for an hour and scaring harmless animals to death, I decided it was time to go back. I shifted and grabbed my clothes. Putting on my shoes I felt the feeling as if I was being watched. That's when I looked up to see a pair of startled eyes staring straight at me.

Oh. My. Fuck.
