The Painters Savior

chapter 9

Nervous.

That's the only thing that i was feeling. Chase said he wanted to have a talk. So i wait for him here, sitting on his bed while he showers. it was an easy day at school today and yesterday i didn't have work or much homework so i just hung around while chase had to do some business.

I didn't know what he wanted to talk about. Was he leaving me already? I knew he would but i didn't think it would be so soon. When the door opens, the bad thought in mind, i jump up and wrap my arms around him. Holding on to him while i still can. First he's shocked but he hugs me back. "What's wrong? Are you scared? It's nothing bad i promise."

He pulls away from me and sits me down on the bed. It was only once I'm sat do my eyes come into view of his towel. And only his towel. He's naked and i haven't even noticed. I blush while he turns to go change. How could i have not noticed that very important detail? Coming back, he laughs at my refusal of eye contact. "There's nothing to be embarrassed about." He didn't have the whole 8 pack and v line that all the girls swooned about, but neither did I and i would care for him either way.

Sitting down beside me, fully dressed, he took my hands. "I'm the alpha."

I look at him with nothing but confusion on my face, most likely looking like an idiot. Of course he sees my confusion, if not that would've been weird, and starts to explain. He starts off with; an alpha is like a king, or a president. All the pack members listen to him and have to do as he says. They physically can't they have this forceful urge of obedience and its difficult to go against it. He explains how that because of me being his mate i am what they call a Luna. I'm what he is and I'm just as important as him. My say is equally important as his. Than after him pausing to let the information sink in he says, "You'll be meeting the pack tonight."

I should be nervous, I know i should, but I'm not. My feelings don't seem to care. It's like something snapped and i don't care. i feel bad about it but i can't change it. I try to force something, to feel something! But nothing. Chase must think my silence is me being scared because he's quick to say "don't worry they'll love you." I nod not saying anything. No one loves me why would they even like me.

"There's one more thing."

I prepare for something to make me actually nervous and I'm right when he says. "I need to claim you." That's when they bite your neck or something. This actually makes me nervous and I bite my lip. "okay." If it means I get to keep him then fine. He smiles then pulls me into his lap. Bringing his lips down to mine, he wraps his arms around me. Slowly moving his lips against mine he moves my hair off of my neck. When my lungs are about to burst he kisses down my neck. I moved my neck over so It's easier for him and he starts nothing around before he starts sucking on one spot. He stops and asks with his lips brushing against my neck. "Are you sure?" I nod and I feel something sharp pierce into my skin.

It hurts and it burns. Everything burns and i let out a screech like scream. I feel like a hot liquid is swarming through my veins and it hurts. As soon as it was there, it was gone. Chase has taken out his fang things or whatever he calls them and licks the bite. It felt hot and it burned. Not nice. He kisses the bite and left a trail of .a tingling feeling all over. It was strange. Very strange. But i just went along with it. For him. As long as i get to keep him to myself than fine.

Putting his face in front of mine he asks, "How was that? I'm sorry I hurt you baby I really am." I laugh and say "it felt good. Hurt at first but its fine. It's all fine." I feel a sense of happiness spread through me as he smiles in relief.

I stand up and he tells me to start getting ready. I do. I take a shower and when i come back i see a pretty light blue dress. It's tight at the top but flows out at the ribs. There's a thick light brown belt and brown flats beside it lying on my bed. I gasp and run over to get it. This is probably the prettiest clothing I've ever had the chance to wear and I'm more than excited to wear it. I drop the towel and put a bra and panties on in the closet. I walk out and grab the dress.

A playful growl scares me and i drop the dress. I didn't see chase sitting on my dresser. A huge smirk was on his face as he watches my face turn blood red. "Don't mind me. It will be like I'm not even here." I shake my head and point to the door, using the dress to block his view. "out." He pouts and i shake my head giving him my serious face. He huffs and starts to walk to the door. My bad luck the door is behind me so he runs and hugs me from behind before i can even step away. He kisses my mark and i melt into his arms.

"You don't want me to leave do you?"

I shiver but nod, Forcing out a chocked yes.

"You sure?" He lightly bites my necks.

I gasp and push him out slamming the door shut. "Yes I'm sure bye." I throw my head back laughing and get the dress on. After I'm all dressed i curl my hair. Now I start to think back on not wearing makeup. I don't want them to think I'm ugly. I sigh and just go with it.

I meet a pouting chase outside and peck his lips before he grabs my hands and takes me down stairs. We walk outside and i see everyone. Thousands of people grouped together to see their new.. Luna. I really hope I'm not too disappointing. I walk on stage behind chase and sit down while he stands up to give his speech.

Not even 3 minutes after he starts his speech a loud bang sounds throughout the field. I feel it on my shoulder and I'm shocked by the pain i put my hand to it. But there's no blood. i look down at it then look back up at chase. He has blood dripping down his shoulder. Everyone starts screaming and running around when he's shot again in the left side of his stomach.

I scream and run over to him despite the pain i feel. I'm uncontrollably sobbing with his head on my neck. He's groaning in pain and is screaming for everyone to protect the pack. Everyone, of what must've been his guards, leaves and a few people come back to take chase pack. I try to go with them but they stop me and I'm screaming at them to let me go.

"Luna please they need to work on him."

I nod still crying and wait where this man tells me. He says his name is Jake and he's chase's beta, which is Chase's second in command. I understand and just sit there until he comes back it. It kills me. Not because I can feel every single ounce of pain but because I can lose this man that I care about immensely. And I know that if I lose him. I'll lose everything within me.

So that escalated quite quickly. How'd you like it. Leave feedback and i hope you liked it!!
