Running With Wolves [On Hold]

Chapter 8, Orson

Slamming the door behind me I see Adan with an amused smile on his face, making me more pissed off than I already am. "Don't fucking say anything." 

Adan laughs out loud, just as I hear Eleanor growl out frustratedly inside of the room.

"She seems.. well.. just as how I expected her to seem after taking her against her will." 

I stare at him and scoff. "She's just adjusting." 

He gives me a look and I can tell he knows that's bullshit, I know she's not adjusting, if anything she has become even more outspoken about wanting to leave to return to the human realm, but I can't let her go, my wolf won't let me and for some reason... the thought of her going makes me sick to my stomach.

The mate bond is working faster on me than I thought it would, there's nothing I can do anymore, if I were to let her go now I would no longer be able to function without her around.

Adan hums. "You could always reject the bond." 

I snap my head towards him and snarl in his direction, my claws coming free and my wolf coming out. Adan holds his hands up in surrender. "It was just a suggestion, now I see it was stupid of me." He says with a nervous laugh.

Snarling I scoff out and try to calm my breathing and my wolf. "Keep your thoughts to yourself!"

"Yeah yeah." He grunts out.

The door opens and there stands a very grumpy yet beautiful Eleanor, dressed in the clothes I had got her the day she came here, she's wearing tight jeans with a plain top and the long thick cardigan she was wearing the day I brought her here, her hair is tied up and I can see every beauty mark and freckle on her face.

She really is beautiful, I would feel lucky if it wasn't for the glare she is giving me right now.

"Let's go then 'Just Orson'." She huffs out, crossing her arms, not looking at me but down the hall.

I will never admit it, but it hurts when she won't even look at me, that and the way she says my name like I mean nothing to her. Yet I know she doesn't know me, and I don't know her, but it still stings.

Nodding my head I lead the way and walk down the hallway and head straight for the stairs.

I don't miss the way her eyes scan the surroundings of the packhouse, I don't know if it's because she's curious or just looking for a way to escape. The packhouse is very open and I found no reason to put too much security inside here, but the way she's eyeing the exit makes me want to put the biggest lock on the door, and all the windows.

Now I realize how crazy I sound.

Adan looks at me like he could almost read my thoughts, and he probably can with how stressed I am right now, my pack members have sensed it also since Eleanor arrived, but there's nothing I can do about it right now, I just need Eleanor to accept her fate just like how I need to accept change.

I'm so used to being on my own, I never thought I would have a mate.

We reach outside and pack members are everywhere, minding their own business until Eleanor steps out of the packhouse with her flaming red hair and wide blue eyes, all eyes go to hers and I sense how uneasy it makes her, but I ignore it.

She will get used to it, she has to.

I turn to face her and she frowns as soon as her eyes meet mine. "I will be back in a few hours, until then Adan will show you around the pack." I tell her and she frowns deeper making me annoyed. 

'Keep your eyes on her the whole time.' I tell Adan through mindlink.

He rolls his eyes. 'Don't worry, I'll keep the princess safe' 

"Are we going or are you guys going to stare at each other all day?" Eleanor says, making me turn to look at her, she pulls her eyes away from mine as soon as hers land on mine.

Sighing, I decide to just let it go for now. "See you later." I tell her, hoping she turns to look at me.

When she doesn't I walk away in annoyance, each step pissing me off the further away I get from her, then I start to miss her scent when I can't smell her anymore, setting off a ton of emotions in my head.

Will she be okay with Adan? Will the pack be nice to her? Shit, should I have told them to mind their fucking business when they stared at her? 

I'm losing my mind, I have to be.

Growling out, I punch the closest tree to me and walk away, not feeling any better in myself, knowing the only thing that can calm me down is shifting and going for a run, but my wolf is too stressed to leave Eleanor with another male for so long.

I can't fucking win, either way, I'm going to be losing my mind one way or another because I fucking like her.

I like her, even that mouth of hers, and that attitude... I could bend her over my knee and spank her but damn if it doesn't get me riled up with how much she challenges me.

That shit she pulled in front of Adan had me almost snapping in front of her, I wanted nothing more than to rip the clothes off in front of Adan and show her just how much she belongs ro me and only only me, she can pull this shit once and only once, the next time she tries to do that in front of another wolf, I won't just walk away without punishing her.

I arrive at my office with a big problem in my jeans, luckily nobody is inside yet to see that I have a raging hard on for this mouthy redhead girl. I make it to my office and shut the door, I head straight for my bathroom and unbutton my pants to make this problem disappear.

Growling out frustrated, I grab my dick.

This is going to be one long fucking day.
