UNDERWORLD WATCH

Chapter Five

Chapter Five.

Ashton was a little tense as he waited outside.

He felt as if he was being watched. Like something was crawling all over his skin. He shivered looking around but he could spot nothing but the vast lands of trees. He shifted uncertainly on his feet trying to shake off the feeling.

This was not good. Not at all. If he's attacked right now he'll have to expose himself. It wasn't the right time yet. No one's supposed to know what he is yet.

He sighed in relief when he saw Noah exit the house. But tensed slightly at the other man's expression since he didn't seem to be pleased with what he'd found out.

But that's not the big problem right now. They were followed or tracked down by someone and they really had to go. He had a feeling they were going to attack soon.

"We have to go."

He announced as soon as Noah reached him. Noah frowned but nodded his head in understanding. Before he could start the bike, a grey blur nocked him down. Startling Ashton out of his seat. He turned just in time to duck an attack from a charging wolf. He spared a glance at Noah and was glad to see he was okay. He turns back to the wolf now facing him with its teeth bared in a snarl.

He spread his legs and raised his hands in a fighting stance and waited for it to attack. It growled and pounced. He grabbed it by the neck keeping it from snapping his neck with its large teeth, throwing it away from him. It skids to a halt turning back to him. It jumped at him scratching his arm before he could move away. Although he could heal easily, he doesn't want injuries that would be hard to explain. He held its front paw twisting it until he heard the familiar pop. It fell down with a whimper. He hoped Noah was too focused with his battle so he didn't see that. He wasn't ready to explain who he is. Not to a vampire. He doesn't trust him enough to.

He heard the pounding of paws and swore. Others were coming. Of course. Werewolves rarely travel alone. They move in packs most of the time.

He moved to the motorcycle and turned it on.

"Hurry up! We've got to go!"

Noah jabbed the wolf with a knife in the causing it to whimper. He rushed to him and took his seat behind him.

"Go! Go! Go!"

Ashton didn't need to be told twice. They skidded out into the road but he could still hear the wolves catch up.

Why were these dogs so fucking fast.

He heard a ripping sound and a growl. Noah let off a stream of curses. He was scratched. He could smell the blood. "Go faster!" He stepped on it and they zoomed away.

He could hear the receding sounds of paws on ground. He was losing them, but he didn't dare slow down. He heard an angry roar as they rode into the night. He let a smile spread at the small victory. Their Alpha wasn't pleased.

Now he just had to find some place to rest. Daytime was almost upon them. And from the way Noah was slumped on his back, he was drained. Probably from losing a lot of blood. He hadn't seen the injury yet but from how it sounded. It couldn't have been good. This fueled him to go faster. He knew there was a town up ahead. He just hoped it's not too late to get a motel or hotel room.

......................

Lukas Rosendale roared in anger as he watched his target ride away. He'd almost had him. His pack members flinched away at his anger. He closed his eyes changing back to human form. His beta and gamma-third in command, right beside him.

"We'll get him Lukas, don't worry," Cam his beta said trying to reassure him.

He nodded. "Yeah. He's hurt and the sun is almost out. They have to stop in the next town, enough time for us to catch up."

He motioned to two brown wolves. They changed back and approached their fallen member. The one who Noah's companion had hurt.
He grins and let's the change take over his body. Soon after a giant black wolf stood in his place. He howled into the night and his pack followed his lead.

He was going to find his brother and he knows Noah Black has some connection with his disappearance. Or he could find where he is. Whatever the case, the only way to find him is through him. And he'll do anything to find his baby brother. Even if it means killing his new bodyguard, whatever he is.

'I'll find you Noah. Wherever you hide. I'll find you.'

He led the pack back into the forest and they disappeared among the tress.
