The Rejected Wolf

Chapter 21

Andy POV

I tensed up the moment he walked out into the clearing. He was laughing...

This guy is crazy! What the hell is wrong with him?

"So, that's what you are sweetheart." He started laughing again.

Logan growled at him.

"That must be the mate. He looks rather ordinary compared to you." I growled at him.

How dare he insult our mate!!! My wolf snarled.

Then Logan lunged at him, but before he could reach him, another wolf had jumped on top of him. Although not as big as Logan, the wolf was still large. His appearance was rather plain, a dull grey wolf.

The wolf jumped off my mate as I lunged at it. I circled him, waiting for him to move. I swear if he weren't in his wolf form, he would be laughing... he was enjoying this.

You can't cheat this time! Freak! He mind linked me.

Connor!!!

Why was he fighting with us?

He jumped at me before I had a chance to reply. As he knocked me down, he bit my hind leg, causing me to howl in pain.

He went for my throat, ducking, I avoided his teeth from puncturing the skin. I growled at him as I bit down on his front paw, while clawing at his back. Before I heard him whimper, I felt the bone snap in my mouth. I shook my head, tearing part of his leg as I released him.

As soon as I was off of him, I saw Logan and Alexi jump on him. They kept him down while two of our wolves shifted into human forms, before grabbing a bleeding Connor and carrying him away.

They're taking him back. He will pay for this. Alexi mind linked.

I just nodded at him; my eyes glued to the hunter who was just watching us as if we were the entertainment.

When he walked up to me, he smiled. I glanced down at him, he was at least six feet tall, but my wolf was taller.

"Now we know what you are, we have no use for you." He said as he nodded to his men. I hadn't noticed that so many hunters had entered the clearing. There must have been dozens of them, all carrying large guns. I jumped in front of Logan and Alexi before they could fire.

I heard the shots echo in the clearing. I was going to die.

My mate is going to die.

My brother is going to die.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice everyone was silent. The wolves and the hunters were frozen in shock. As soon as I opened my eyes, the blue light shone brighter than before, like the sun had just appeared in my hands.

The moment I tore my eyes from them, I noticed a wall between us and the hunters. It looked like a waterfall suspended in mid-air. The water was so still and clear I could see right through it. All the bullets were stuck in it as if frozen in the air.

What the hell?

Little one? How'd you do that? Logan mind linked.

I have no idea. I replied honestly.

After realising my hands were glowing, I was pulled from my thoughts... not paws! Hands! I had shifted! Great... I'm naked in front of a field of men... and my brother...

Why does this stuff happen to me?

Logan sensed my panic and walked away...

Seriously?

Soon after, I felt warm hands on my shoulders. I knew it was Logan from the sparks that went down my arms. Taking the t-shirt, he handed me, I quickly changed into it and realised all the wolves were averting their eyes.

I need to remember to thank Logan later since I know he must have told them all to look away. By 'told' I mean threaten, let's be honest.

On me, the shirt was huge, reaching my knees.

As I looked up, I saw dozens of hunter's yelling at each other, their hatred for us making me shiver.

"Shoot the blonde!" he shouted to his hunters. It took me a second to realise he was talking about me.

It seemed as if the ice was melting in front of us. It was getting smaller and smaller...

What's happening?

We're getting weaker. My wolf answered me.

What do you mean weaker?

Doll, I am exhausted after spending so long here. I have tried to conserve as much energy as possible, but I'm too tired.

As she spoke, I felt myself growing tired. It was like my muscles were getting heavier and heavier. Crap, she was right.

"What's happening little one?" Logan asked me.

"I'm getting tired, I can't hold it for too much longer." I felt his arms go around me. I allowed myself to lean on him, trying to steady myself. I could feel my mind fading, the world going black as I fell into Logan's arms.
