His Wee Honey

Chapter 13 - Stranger

Mabel's POV -

It had been a week since Noah's grand reveal. Yes, the whole werewolf thing i was still coming to turns with, but no, i hadn't ran from my problems but i had decided to face things head on.

And by head on i mean i hid in my house the whole week - again - and only allowed Noah to visit 24 notice.

I couldn't help that my brain was still whirring, trying to take in all this new information. Practically a whole new world was shoved in my face and i was pretty much told to accept it because my fucking 'soulmate' belonged in it.

My heart pounded at the thought of Noah, he has so far been so patient and loving with me. So much so that i was really starting to buy into this whole 'mating forever business'.

Speak of the devil, a melodious knocking tune tapped on my door, i smiled to myself as i peeled myself out of bed to let Noah into flat.

Smile still on my face i wrenched the door open, only to drop into a frown as i took in who was actually at my door, he was handsome, sure, but he wasn't my Noah.

"You're not Noah." I practically huffed at the man like a petulant child.

He smirked and i grimaced away from him, he looked dangerous, not even that, he actually looked like he had murder on his mind as he started blankly at me.

He was tall, perhaps 6'0, with dark - almost blood like - red hair that was buzzed close to his head, piercing black eyes and a thick smirk that stretched across his obscenely handsome face. Was he a wolf shifter?

"Can i help you with something?" I croaked at the nameless man, he was starting to creep me out, just standing there.

He clicked his tongue at me, "Can a man not just look upon Noah's pretty wee mate?"

I sneered and took another step back into my house, beginning to close the door on the man, i absolutely didn't like the feel of him.

Just before i could fully shut the door a sleek shoe jammed the door opening and the man pushed his way inside slightly, just crossing the threshold, he grinned menacingly at me, pearly whites practically gleaming, i shuddered.

"He took everything from me," his hasn't gripped my door, his knuckles turning white and the wood cracked, "and i swear to you 'honey', i'll take everything away from him."

Tears glistened in my eyes as my hands began to shake, but i straightened my spine and glared up at him, "listen, you can't just come to my home and threaten me, i don't know who you are but you need to leave, right fucking now, before i get Noah to take away your eyes for looking at me like that. Then you'll have something to cry about."

A manic laugh bubbled out of the man before his foot retracted from my doorway. As quick as i could, i slammed the door and slid the padlock into place. I trembled in place and i scanned my open room for my phone as i continued to listen to the manic laughter on the other side of my door.

I need Noah.

My legs were like jello as i launched for my phone across the room, it took a while but i managed to find Noah's name and dial him.

It rang twice before he picked him, i almost sobbed with relief, "Noah, oh God!"

"Hey honey, have you missed me that much?"

"Noah please! Y-you need to come over, right now!" I was almost in hysterics, how on earth was i supposed to explain what was going on?

The next time he spoke he sounded serious, "baby? what's happening? i'm coming over, stay on the phone, let me know what's going on."

I heaved into the phone, "A-a man, so scary, at my door, threatening me. He knew y-you!"

Noah inhaled sharply on the other end, "i'm coming sweet girl, is he still there?"

At this point i had slunk onto the floor, clutching my knees to my chest protectively, "i can still hear him out there, walking around," i whispered.

"You're okay baby, is everything locked? i'm nearly there."

i scanned my surroundings, brain finally starting to catch up to the danger lurking outside, my body ceased the shaking.

"I'm checking." I whispered for him.

"Good girl."

I stopped short, my breath growing rapid again as i took in the scene in front of me, my front window and the blinds were open, and i watched with terror as the red headed man slipped his fingers onto the open window and began pulling it open, all the while keeping eye contact.

"Noah, he found an open window, help me!"

Before Noah could respond, i shoved my phone into my pocket and ran for my bedroom, i had to get out of here.

I slammed the door shut, no lock, i cursed. The window. I skidded over and unlocked it, lucky for me it was large enough for me to shimmy through.

I ripped it open and began to pull myself outside, only the be stopped short by a little tapping rhythm that echoed around my room hauntingly, he was in the house, knocking at my bedroom door.

A scream of terror ricocheted up my throat as i clung to windowsill.

"Mabel!"

My name was screamed beneath me, my hands grew clammy and i slipped from my hanging position. I hadn't thought all this through, i was on a second story building, with nothing but space between me and the ground.

Breath whooshed out of me and i clenched my eyes shut, what a stupid way to go out, at least scary redhead man didn't get me.

Instead of the harsh impact i had expected, i landed somewhat graciously into two thick trembling arms and i gasped on impact.

"Baby? Goddess... Mabel? Please be okay."

I cracked my eyes open slowly, Noah's frantic face was pushed up against mine as he scanned my face for any damages or signs of pain.

I heaved a relieved sigh as i nuzzled further into his chest, seeking more comfort and safety.

"I'm okay now, but Noah, i think he's still in there."

Noah growled deeply, the sound rumbling into myself, "stay here sweet girl, let me good check it out."

He placed me gently on shaking knees, he quickly gripped my chin between his forefinger and thumb possessively and pressed a quick kiss to my lips before he turned and stalked away. Body shaking with rage.

I stared at the blank space he left, focusing on calming my whole body and mind, it couldn't have been more then 10 minutes before Noah reappeared, looking more angry than when he left.

"Come on baby, you're packin' your shit and moving in with me," he held up his hand to cut me off before i began to protest, "i'm not hearing no arguments from you, go pack, you're not safe here."

I wanted to deny him, demand my own space. But i would be lying, i was falling for Noah, literally.

He made me feel safe and protected, the fact he came over here for me today? means the world. I knew he wouldn't cross any boundaries i set just because i was moving in with him.

I sighed and looked him at him through my lashes as i gnawed on the side of my lip, "okay, can you help me pack?"

He smiled, a real one, as his eyes softened. He stroked a thumb down my cheek as he responded, "mhm, let's go little honey."
