The Alpha's Indian Mate

Chapter 31

Chapter 31

My heart fluttered in my chest as I gazed upon the scene before me wishing it all away. I looked at the tied up girl in the chair with blood pooling around her like air leaving a balloon. She was deflating and fast. Estelle was going to die soon if I didn't do something quick. Mrs Jennings stood next to her, a dagger twirling in her fingers, shinning and shimmering like a beacon of death.

I looked to my mate and he stared back. His eyes were a deep green and his teeth were bared - he was on the verges of shifting.

"Amberry please do join us. Your friend Estelle here had soo much to tell. I am sure you would like to hear some of it" her voice was still the same but she had icy hardness to her tone that made shivers scatter down my back.

"Lost for words are we darling. I must say you were one hell of a chemistry student. Makes me almost sad to think I would have to end you"

Drew growled at her.

"Why are you doing this when quite clearly you're up against a whole pack?" I asked trying not to let my fear show even though my heart was running marathons.

She smiled and took a step forwards. Drew instantly pushed me backwards and took a leap towards her - shifting midair.

The moment passed in slow motion and I watched with horror as the hunter slashed at him with the knife. It took its aim before Drew could pull away and his wolf howled in anger. Ignoring the wound to his chest he pounced on her again and this time he was far too fast for her.

Meanwhile I ran over to Estelle and began to untie the rope holding her hands and feet to the chair. She was still breathing but her pulse was a barely detectable whisper.

The hunter stabbed Drew again with the dagger and he roared before taking one huge bite out of her shoulder. Blood splattered everywhere and the hunter yowled in pain and agony. Drew retracted from her pitiful form as she writhed in pain on the floor. His eyes met mine and for a second I saw regret in their depths.

I turned back to Estelle and soon Drew joined me back in his human form and lifted her into his arms. We ran out of the school building and towards his car. I pulled open the back door and he laid her across the seat. She was losing a lot of blood.

Reaching into the boot, Drew pulled out a first aid kit that I took and began to patch her up to the best of my ability as he drove us to the hospital. After finishing with the last bandage I maneuvered into the passenger seat. We were going at breakneck speed and a minute later Drew pulled into the hospital.

Estelle was taken into ICU immediately after we arrived and we both sat in the waiting room, both lost in our own thoughts. After what felt like eternity the doctor stepped out to speak to us.

"Your friend is stable for the moment. She's lost a lot of blood so we've given her a transfusion. Has her next of kin been informed?"

"I called her dad. He should be here soon" Drew replied.

The doctor left soon after and we went back to our mutual silence. Not being able to take it any longer I turned to Drew.

"What's going to happen now?"

He glanced at me.

"Estelle's going to get better and we're going to ask her to tell us what this vision of hers is all about. I am not taking the risk of not knowing if it means phsycopaths like Jennings are going to start coming for you"

"Do you think Jennings has any allies? Anyone who would want to take revenge?" I asked almost afraid to find out.

He tugged a hand through his golden locks and sighed.
