Can't Be Tamed

Chapter Two: Perfect

CHRIS'S POV

"They're letting everyone fight? Children and women too?"My anger rose. The SOBs are letting others die for them. And my mate was going to be there.

"Yeah."

"I have to do something, show the pack her photo or something."

"We can't do that?"

"Why the hell not?!" I yelled at my best friend Damon, my patience was running out.

"Dude it's gonna take a lot of time."

"She's my mate, Damon."

"Are you sure? You know she's only sixteen or seventeen and you're twenty-one."

"The hell I am! I am not like you, getting drunk and considering the next attractive woman his mate. Sorry if I am harsh."

"Dude you were drunk last night too."

"Not so much as you."

"Fine! I hate arguing with you."

"That's 'cause I always win," I said with a smirk.

"Hope this mate thing is real, it'll change you for good."

"Yeah, whatever. Just do whatever you can about this."

"Yeah I'll tell those who haven't already left."

"Already left?" My mind panicked at the thought.

"Some people were so keen on vengeance that they hit off as soon as we announced of the war." He shrugged.

"What?! And didn't they inform someone, for instance, me?"

"Chris, we're not a pack. They can do whatever they want."

"Fair enough. Then I'll do whatever I want too."

"Chris! Are you crazy? You're supposed lead the main attack!"

"My mate's in danger and the last time I insulted her, this time I'm gonna love her."

There was smoke everywhere. Some cowards had apparently set fire to the houses. I tried to look into her mind again. Hell I didn't even know her name........wait it's Nicole Evelyn Price and right now she's running.......she's on the road and there's a Honda standing by. It's Town Square Street! I am such a genius!

There were people fighting, pelting stones, defending there families or burning with the same fire of vengence as I was, but now wasn't the moment. Then I saw a familiar face. Rage poured in, my wolf growled. This was the man that had killed my mother and my sister Christy. I paced towards him, my wolf about to pounce when a scene came into focus: Nicole and that too in danger.

I left the man as he was. Today's his lucky day I guess or maybe I'll take care of him after this. But my mind was drained of all emotion but one as I stared at the beauty in front of me. She was lethal, maybe trained too, who knows, she had come from a pack of sinners afterall. But she was nothing like them. Her innocence almost radiated off her. She looked so young, even with the fierce look in her caramel eyes. A few loose strands of her coffee-coloured hair hung down, she hastily brushed them away. The man fighting her suddenly shifted and her eyes widened with horror. That's my cue.

I jumped in growling,"Dude, lay off! She's my mate!" He stared at me, amazed and then nodded."Just find the person you want and finish him off, okay?" And with that he dashed away somewhere else.

I looked over at Nicole. She was still confused over this exchange, but she looked damn hot. I gave her a cocky smile and said,"Hey babe." That's when she threw a wicked punch at me which I dodged off somehow."Woah! Easy love, I'm you're mate."

"No, you're not! You're the enemy! You kill people!" She was fuming with rage.

"I came here to kill only one, which reminds me....." I looked around, searching for the man and found him chopping off someone's head with a battle axe. What a douche. There were bodies lying and in a really bad condition too. There were people shouting, crying, grieving. I winced at the sight, this wasn't what I had planned.....

Something hit me in the head to bring me to the present."Owww! Baby I'm trying to keep you safe here and you hit me. I'm sorry but I have to take drastic measures now." I pulled out a wolfsbane syringe and inserted it in her neck.She growled with pain. I caught her before she could fall.

I spotted Claire, my other sister, covered in blood. i eyed her with concern as I approached her."Did you kill him?" I referred to the man who killed Mom and Christy.

"No, but who is THIS?" She pointed at Nicole's unconscious form.

"She,uh, I've found my mate Claire."

Her eyes grew wide and then she pulled my cheek and squealed."I was waiting for this day since ages!!!" I pulled her into a quiet, dark alley.

"Right now I need you to take her home, at our place.NOW," I said handing Nicole over to her.

"But what about the killer?"

"You go ahead, I'll take care of him."

"But-,"

"Claire, GO!"

"Fine." She turned to give me a last look and said,"Be careful,okay?He's not that easy to kill."

"Yeah,bye."

Claire disappeared into the dark shadows of the trees and I take a deep breath and charged out. Today's the big day, my greatest wish would be fulfilled today. A stranger attacked me, he was a just a boy, maximum fifteen."Kid, you don't wanna do this."

"A, I'm not a kid and B, if you're such a smart-ass then prove it." He shifted into a full wolf and so did I. I thimnk he realised that he was smaller than me. He tried to jump on me but I knocked him on his head. Hard enough to make him pass out. I began searching again, this time I found him, the killer, grinning ear to ear at me. He had shifted back in his his human form but hadn't failed to recognize me in my wolf form. Of course he did, who could forget the son and brother of the women he exploited and killed.

"I was waiting for you kiddo."

So was I, you bastard.

"I remember your mother and sister exactly. And THAT I can never forget." At these words of his I attacked him. Either he dies today or I do.

He shifted too, his wolf had black fur, just like his hair. I tried to bite him in his shoulder but he pushed me of with his one paw. I fell on my sides and a pain gripped me but I ignored it. He was strong but he wouldn't win today, I won't let him till my last breath.I attacked again pushing him of the ground and stood on top of him, but I was overpowered again. He stood on top of me now and was just about to bite my face of literally when I used my favourite attack step : a sharp blow or smack,with my open paw, or normally called a "slap".

He was dazed for sure, not expecting such move. I hit him again, with all my might. For destroying my family, you dick. He fell on the ground, his eyes bloodshot and his face scratched horribly. Now I pulled up my final act. I gave one last glance to his barely-conscious body and drove my claws straight in. He howled in pain, but his voice drowned among various others. A tear escaped my eye, I had finally killed him, kept to my father's dying wish and my life's mission. But I suddenly remembered that I had someone else to go back to.

I slowly shut the door. Claire came running towards me.

"Did-did you kill him?" Her eyes hopeful.

"Yeah, I did." I smiled at her. She began to cry and hugged me tight.

"I can't believe it's finally over," she spoke through her sobs. I pated on her head and said,"Neither can I. Where's Nicole?" I looked at her with concern.

"She's in your bedroom, still unconscious-," Without listening to another word I rushed to my bedroom. I walked in, smiled when I saw her lying on my bed. I sat on the side and stroked her hair. I can't believe she was mate, she was mine. She was just pure perfection.
