Withered Love

Realization

As we exited the elevator I noticed that there still was no one in the main area of the pack house, was all of this just show? What did he think he stands to gain by trying to get me? I wondered. Yes, I am a Lycan but that doesn't mean that will bring him any monumental wealth or form of gain. Not to mention that he is not my mate so he is delusional if he thinks I would ever accept him in any form. 

I could feel my stomach flipping at just the idea of that man touching me in any fashion as I felt a wave of nausea wash over me. I stopped for a second holding my stomach momentarily trying to setting it just a touch. My mates looked to me with concern filling their faces as I could tell they were worried about the baby, along with my condition. 

I took several deep breaths knowing I needed to calm myself because our departure needed to be eminent without any hesitation. As we reached outside in front of the pack house we looked around the empty grounds, no warriors, or anything for that matter. All the small buildings you would imagine would be for those who didn't want to live in the pack house would reside in were completely dark, not even a shimmer of light from them. 

I shook my head as I  nodded to my mates in anticipation of leaving this ghost land of a pack. 

"Are you alright mate?" Drake asked.

"Yes, more than ready. What was the purpose of all of this? He couldn't have actually thought he would get ahold of me, could he have? This is just so odd to me. Why have packlands with  no pack? Did he intend on taking over ours?" I sputtered out.

So many questions lay heavy in the air yet no matter the explanation this is over, isn't it? I wondered to myself. I walked up to the vehicle with my mates at my side as the door opened for me, I stepped into the car not sure what to expect after tonight. Tiredness seemed to overwhelm me as I wanted to sleep for what felt like a year washed over me. As my  mates climbed in behind me they set on each side of me as I curled up and fell into slumber. 

I felt my mates shift slightly as I looked up with blurry eyes wondering what was going on. I could see an expression of concern on their face as they quickly looked at one another. 

"There is a vehicle following us from the pack lands. You think he has the balls to follow us?" Drake questioned. 

"If he is totally crazed then yes, your mom was already gotten out by some of the warriors and the others are around us as well. He would be a total idiot to try anything!" I spoke softly still felling groggy. 

"I will rip his head off if he even thinks of coming to our pack lands! I am feeling a bit frisky and ready for a fight." Kade chuckled. 

We grinned at him knowing he wasn't joking about what he would do. He is fierce and aggressive to say the least. 

"Get some more rest while we are on our way back, if we run into any problem we will wake you." Kade whispered against my neck. 

I sighed out as I snuggled closer, closing my eyes and breathing his scent in deeply. It still amazes me what affect my mates have on me. I felt myself sinking deeper as slumber took hold of me. I began hearing my mates talking in hushed tones yet they held an angry undertone to them.

I wiggled in Kade's grasp as my eyes opened as I saw their expressions as if they just got caught doing something they shouldn't have been.

"Is it still following us?" I asked sleepily.

"Yes, and it seems a few others joined up with him. Nothing to worry about pet we have this not to mention we are already almost to the pack lands. Let them try, I want to play!" Kade growled low.

I let a low growl rip from my throat as I began to feel my rage increasing. I felt my body begin to tremble as the thoughts of that bastard trying to come and still raise havoc in our pack. I took several deep breaths knowing I would not be able to control my Lycan for long at this rate. I shook my head as I looked to my mates, they recognized the expression on my face instantaneously. 

"Please control yourself, we are almost to the pack love. You don't want to tear the vehicle up or end up busting out the door and harming someone outside of that Alpha." Drake whispered calmly. 

I know he is right but the rage within me seemed to be set ablaze begging for release and that release consists of Ferris's blood coating my claws. Well that or his head at my feet, either will do. My mates held me close knowing their scents and touch would help calm me to a controllable level.

As the vehicle turned I looked out the window seeing we had turned onto the road for our pack lands I took a deep breath knowing we were almost there. Where if my rage gets out of control I can let my Lycan out without harming anyone, other than him! As we arrived at the center of pack the car parked in front of the house as I noticed Drake's mother standing there waiting for us.

We climbed out as Drake and Kade began instructing the warriors to expect Ferris to attempt an attack. Could he honestly plan on attacking with few warriors while this pack is full of them? His loss, his life I am referring to just to be clear.

We all stood on the steps as I had a wide grin on my face waiting to see if he would be so stupid to do what I think he is about to attempt. Bring it on!
