Human Mates

Chapter 16

Eleanor's P.O.V.

-Recap-

We started almost at the end of the yard to the patio doors. It took us four minutes just to reach the doors. I touched the doors first, and cheered. Addison was panting and patting my back. "Finally you're not last." She teased me. I stuck my tongue at her and fell to the floor. 

----

As I fell to the floor, I began panting. "You okay?" Addison asked, I nodded my head, "Just tired."

We heard growling in the background, Addison and I turned our heads to get a better view. It was a group of wolves, I'm not sure if it's a pack or rouges. I looked at their eyes, it was a orange and yellowish color.

We shared looks and ran inside the house. Locking the patio doors, Roxy and Skylar looked at us like we grew two heads. "What happened?" Roxy asked.

"Rouges, in the backyard." I said, still trying to catch my breath after running to the patio doors. They both lowly growled and I think Skylar mind linked the guys. They immediately came down and looked at us just in case if we had any injuries.

A crashing sound was heard, from behind me and Addison. Someone tackled me, and forcefully pulled me up. Rouges were surrounding me like a barrier from Ashton.

"What do we have here?" A rouge asked. "Seems like the Alpha's mate, sir." The guy holding me said, obviously ignoring the growls from Ashton.

He was holding me up by holding my right arm, I tried to kick him, but he blocked it. His grip didn't falter which disappointed me.

I tried punching him with my left arm, but his palm acted as a shield and blocked yet again. His large hands covered my fist, he enclosed his hand crushing my hand. I winced, but made no noise after that.

He let go of my fist, taking his hand to go to my throat. He lifted me up right when I was on my tip-toes. On instinct, both of my hands went to his wrist to try to pry him off. He didn't hold me enough to stop my breathing, but it still seems like I'm suffocating.

"What are you doing here rouge?" Ashton spat. "Oh, you know. Just visiting your beautiful mate." The rouge said, touching my hair. I shivered in disgust.

Ashton growled. The rouges that was once surrounding me, separated. Ashton and them had a perfect view of what was going on.

The rouge's grip tightened, causing me to try to pry him off again. "If you're visiting, them why're you trying to kill her?!" His voice didn't sound like Ashton, it might be his wolf.

"We're not." The rouge said, glaring at the rouge who was holding me. He just shrugged and his grip tightened once more.

Ashton growled once more, "I swear, if you hurt her any more." He threatened. The rouge's back was facing them, making them have a clear view of what my face color was, his grip tightened once more, causing my face to be purple, if I saw myself.

I couldn't breathe, trying to pry him off, but his grip never faltered. "That's enough, Nick." The rouge said. Nick dropped me, breathing in clean air. I held my neck where he was holding me, and rubbing it.

I looked up, seeing how much distance there was between Ashton and I. It wasn't that much, maybe I should run for it.

I tried standing up, but Nick pushed me back to the floor. "Let's go. We'll be back." The leader, I'm guessing, whispered the last part in my ear. I shivered in disgust once more before they shifted and ran into the forest.

They ran up to me, checking if I was okay. I only nodded my head not able to get his words out of my head. What does he mean by he'll be back? What does he want? Or who does he want? Questions ran through my mind.
