Love me, Love me Not

Chapter 8

Antonio and I were walking onto the pack grounds with Andres and Javi as wolves behind us. Antonio had his arm wrapped around my shoulder protectively to keep any pack members away from me and us in general. These wolves are extremely large by the way. Javi and Andres towered over me by atleast 3 feet and their paws were gigantic. The Pena family wasn't like other werewolves, they were royalty. Literal royalty and Carlos was the alpha of the pack. Being that Andres was the oldest, he should've been, but he didn't want the responsibility so he's just the healer and Antonio is the beta. I knew we were getting close when I heard a low growl come from Andres' throat and Antonio's grip on me tightened.

The grounds weren't large at all, it was like a culd e sac, with a large field in the middle. About 10 or 11 houses for all the pack members and their families, and one large mansion for the Pena family themselves. Pena sr was especially evil and I had to avoid him at all costs, it's not that he hated me, he just hated my species. He took any pretty girl and used them as a sex slave, and he would impregnate them so they'd have his pup, if it was a girl, the pup would die and so would the girl, if the pup was a boy, It would stay alive and the girl would be allowed to stay in the pack. It's pretty cruel but it was Pena sr. None of the boys loved their father, they all hated him, but they had no choice but to respect him.

Eventually I smelled my mates scent come into the distance and i immediately felt a small sense of relief. Even though I didn't want Carlos to be my mate, I knew he would protect me from any threat against me in his pack, and I loved him for it. "Sariba.. what are you doing here..?" Carlos asked as he came up to me and grabbed me from Antonios grasp. Andres and Javi went behind the bushes and came back out shifted and changed in shorts and a tank top. "And why are you bleeding?" He growled as he saw the wound on my arm that his older brother had caused earlier in the evening. He went into the bathroom and grabbed a wet clothe and began to clean the dry blood off of my wound as I winced in pain. "Andres decided to attack me this evening.." I said as I winced in pain. Andres immediately had fear flash across his face because he knew what would've happened if he attacked me and he did it anyways. "I'll deal with him later.. what are you doing here." Carlos asked again. His eyes were black with anger from hearing another one of his brothers had attacked me but it seemed he was more focused on why I came on his grounds.

I don't blame him. I never came over here because of his father. Not unless it was extremely important. "The Scrubbans.." I began. Immediately Carlos growled loudly caused all three of his brothers to do the exact same. I winced and covered my ears at the loud noise as my hearing was extremely sensitive and he knew this. "She said she had a plan.. that they were getting in trouble." Javi said rolling his eyes. Please lord don't hate me for plotting against my own boyfriend. I'm just devious, I'm not evil. I just hate Eastern fleabags. "They have a handful of new vampires and they recruited a shifter and a demon.. they're going to cause nothing but mayhem.." I said looking at Carlos. "I think it's time to attack Carlos.." I continued. He looked at me in shock as did Antonio. Javi and Andres weren't really phased with what I was saying because they rather attack me than know me. I got up and started pacing back and forth when no one answered me. Eventually Antonio opened up. "Are you okay.. you want us to attack your boyfriend?" Antonio asked hesitantly. I laughed the coldest sounding laugh I could muster. I sat beside Carlos and put my head in my hands and screamed. " Kill one of them." I said quietly.

Everyone in the room gasped. It was quiet for a few minutes and Carlos' German shepherd Sydney came in and jumped on my lap, so I was officially stuck here for awhile. Ten minutes went by and all the brothers were still looking at me with shock written all over their faces. "You want us to kill one of them?" Andres finally opened up and asked. "Yes." I answered. I was very sure on this. "Why?" Carlos asked confused. This wasn't like me, I know. But they'll understand. "I need them to hate me Los, I can't keep pretending. I'm tired of pretending to be someone I'm not, and I'm tired of pretending I hate you." I said quietly. I looked down at the floor in shame as I continued to pet Sydney on the head as she began to fall asleep on my lap. "I told you they'd hurt you." Carlos said quietly to me. "I know.. just please.. I know what you're capable of." I asked pleadingly. I looked at them with the biggest puppy dog eyes I could muster. Finally Carlos sighed the biggest sigh and nodded his head and agreed. "Fine.. but you stay here for awhile." He ordered me. I was completely okay with that. Hopefully I get what I want and they hate me.
