A Werewolf's Revenge ~CURRENTLY ON HOLD~

chapter 21

                                                                  *Back at the McGregor estate*

                  Dakota watched as Courtney drove away. When she was gone,he shifted and put on a pair of shorts that Matin had given him.

"What was that about?" Matin asked. Dakota was trying to figure out the same thing.

"I'm not sure,but don't trust her. She doesn't like Azura and they are the furthest thing from friends. She attacked Azura at the mall the mall the other day. But she's a part of Cameron's pack ." He shook his head and sighed. "When she's keep on an eye her."

                  He walked off to get his phone. He had stayed behind not wanting to go out today,he wasnt in the mood to go exploring.Besides there were too many people anyway and someone was needed here at the house to keep an eyeon things.he found his phone and called Azura and informed her of what just happened. Once the phone call was over,heh went back over to where Matin was patrolling, an uneasy feeling trying to settle over him. sometime had passed when several vehicals drove up to the gate and blew their horns. He went to the gate to check it out and the sight that met his eyes left him shocked; immediately he called Eric.

<Azura's POV>

We had gotten downtown when we noticed the excitement in the atmosphere. There seemed to be a festival going on today. Mollly squealed in excitement. "We have got to go check it out !" Demarcus looked at her with a raised brow and a smirk he tried to hide.

"I agree,it looks like so much fun."Tiffany said smiling with Eric's arms wrapped around her. the others readilky agreed,ready to have some fun. I looked at Caemeron and raised a brow. He lokked at me with the same expression.

'It's up to you. what do you want to do?' He asked. I looked around at everyoneand they looked at me expectantly. I smiled and nodded my head. "Yea, let's go." i said with a laugh. We had found several good hangout spots as we toured Sunset city. for a town that was supossedly overrun with rogues,the scent of wolf could be found here and there.. It was odd in my opinion. I shrugged it off,not worrying about it too much.

"MOLLY!" I heard demarcus and Cameron shout. It brought me out of my thoughts. Iturned to look in the direction they were facing and took in the scene that was before. Molly was on the ground looking shocked with Jerome covering her body with his,breathing heavy. Everyone rushed to them. In the distance i ould hear Squealing tires. I turned in time to see an orange and blue pick up truck speed away and turn the corner. I growled at the retreating vehical before turing back to Jerome and Molly.

"Molly,Jerome are you guys ok?" Eric asked as he helpedJerome stand. He was a little wobbly on his feet. Demarcus had beaten Cameron to Molly and was checking her from head to toe. Cameron stood back ,not wanting to interfere. He looked over at me and I at him. I broke contact and looked over at Jerome.

"Demarcus, I'm fine. Jerome saved me." She said a bit tightly. She looked over at Jerome and Eric. "Is he ok?" she asked worried.

There was a pain-filled whine closely followed by a very threatening growl."It looks like he's been clipped. His hip is going to be seriously bruised,but he should be happy thats all he's walking away with. It could have been much worse." Jean said looking from me toCameron and then to Molly.

"It's all my fault!" she cried. "if i had been paying attention,none of this would have happened."

Jerome looked sad  then uncomfortable. He didnt know how to deal with crying females. I had a feeling that this was no accident, but wasnt 100% sure yet.

"Molly, don't cry. I'll be fine. It's just a bruise,it'll be gone tomorrow. Please don't cry, Molly." Jerome pleaded.

He had done what anyone else would have; he protected his pack mate and omega. He looked to Demarcus for help.  Demarcus nodded and pulled Molly into his arms and whispered something in her ear.  She stopped crying and looked at him. He smirked and she looked ready to smack him. Everyone sighed in relief.

"Do you guys want to head back to the.." I started to ask, but my phone rang and cut me off. It was Dakota. I wasn't sure why he hadnt come with us,but i didnt want to pressure him into coming.

"Hello?" I answered. Dakota didnt waste any time getting to the point. I listened to him as he spoke. I can honestly say that I wasnt expecting the news he relayed. Seriously? What the fuck? I looked to Cameron,who was eyeing me closely."Ok D., thanks for letting me know. I'll catch you later." I said and hung up. i took ka moment to take in what I had just heard.

"What's wrong Azura?" Cameron asked along our shared link. I ignored his question and asked one of my own.

"How did Courtney know where I stayed?" i said in a quiet voice. Everything seem to stand still.

"I dont know. She left before we did, to go see about family." he said as if he were in thought. I growled not liking the sound of that.

"Azura what's wrong?" Demarcus asked with concern colored his voice. I looked over at him then back at Cameron. I opened my mouth to speak until i heard Eric's exclamation.

"Seriously?Wow." He said talking on his phone. When he noticed that everyone was looking at him,  he turned his back to us all. "Yea, sure, no problem...Ok...talk to you later bro." He hung up the phone and fixed an unreadable expression on his face before turning back around.

"What's up Eric?" I asked ,eyeing him curiously.

"Oh nothing much just talking to Dakota." He said waving it away.

Did Dakota tell Eric what was going on? Why would he even bother telling Eric if he'd already told me? I didn't llike that all. I wanted to press for answers,but  i Had more pressing matters to deal with at the moment.

"In light of what has happened, i think its safe to say that we ought to call it a day and head back to the house.We've spent more time out here than we anticipated." I said looking at them all. I fixed my mouth to say  something eles when Eric quickly interjected.

"No! Let's stay, it would be a shame to miss all of this fun." He said a abit desperately. We all looked at him as if he had lost his ever loving mind.

"Dude, Molly was almost ran over and Jerome was hit by a car. Who the hell's going to stay here and have fun with that fresh on everybody's mind?" Jean said with a sneer.

Eric growled at him and Tiffany touched his arm to calm him. Natalia did the same to Jean. The tension was palpable, emotions were running high and nerves were fried. Both Molly stepped in and calmed them both.

"Actually Jean, it wouldnt be such a bad idea. It'll give everyone a chance to wind down. I dont mind, i think it would fun." Molly said soothingly with a smile.

"Do you think you can handle staying out here or do you want to go home?" I asked looking to Jerome. He looked at me as if I seriously insulted him.

"Are you for real Zurie? I'm not dead or bleedding out,so yea im fucking good." He snapped at me. I growled but soon found myself being pulled away.

"Watch how you speak to my mate." Cameron said in a deathly quiet voice that had everyone quietly watching the exchange. I calmed myself knowing that getting upset wouldnt help solve anything. Jerome turned his head and submitted to him.

"Ok chill." I sighed. "We'll stay for a little while and then we're leaving. It's time to go when I say it's time to go. Do I make myself clear?"

Everyone nodded their heads. I grabbed the back of Cameron's shirt and yanked him backwards. "Let's go." I said and started walking towards the festival. That was the end of that conversation; case close. I ignored the  looks they were giving me as i contiued walking, pulling Cameron along with me.
