Forgetting The Painful Effort

Chapter 36

Lewis' POV

We spent about two hours in the clearing, and it seems that Darrick had fun, so I'm glad that I decided to take him on this date.

Now we're in our way back to his parents' house, and I'm listening to Darrick as he tells me what he was doing with his friends, before I found them.

He's stops talking when we hear that someone is running in our direction.

I look at the direction that the sound is coming from, and I can see that a naked girl is running towards us.

She's crying, and it looks like she's trying to cover herself with her hands, but it isn't working.

I smell the air, and I quickly realise that she's from this pack, so I decide to see what's going on.

"Wait here." I say to Darrick, and he looks like he's about to argue, but I walk away, before he can say anything.

Thankfully, he stays where I left him, so I walk the rest of the way to the woman, who's now sitting on one of the fallen trees.

"Are you alright?" I ask her, and she nods slightly, although I know that she's lying.

She doesn't even want to looks at me, but I decide to not make her do it.

"Do you want me to take you to the pack house?" I ask, and she shakes her head.

"Why not?" I ask.

"I don't want to go through the pack lands like this." She says.

"I can give you my shirt for now." I suggest, and she looks at me for a few seconds, before she nods.

So, I take my shirt off, and I hand it to her.

She put it on, and then she tries to stand up, but she quickly falls again, so I guess that she's in pain.

She starts to cry again, so I go towards her, and I put my hand on her shoulder, but she quickly pushes it away, and she starts to cry harder.

"Wants going on here?" Someone asks, and when I turn my head in his direction, I can see that it's one of the guards.

I know that he's a guard, because he's usually guarding the pack house, so I see him pretty often.

"I'm not sure." I say, and then I look a the girl again.

A few seconds later, I can feel that he's gripping my neck tightly, and I hiss in pain, before I glare at him.

"What are you doing?" I ask him harshly.

"What did you do to her?" He asks me, and I roll my eyes.

"I just gave her my shirt, and I was about to take her to the pack house." I respond, but it seems that he doesn't believe me.

"I'm sure that the Alpha will want to talk with you." He says.

Before I can say anything, I hear that the other guards are coming here, and one of them takes the girl in his arms, before he leaves us alone.

He goes it he direction of the pack house, but it seems that the girl is scared of him, because she's crying even more now.
