Till Death Do Us Part

Chapter 4: Noah Scott

"Are you asking as my brother or ordering me as my Alpha?", my brother smarts back at me.

" Lucas, just let her go and we will deal with your actions later. " I say, clenching my jaw in anger,trying to keep my cool. And he knows this, he knows that I am fighting for control.

"My actions?Hmm...I guess that answers the question of who you are to me. " He says this as he pulls her even closer to him, her body flushed against his body, the fear shinning through in her deep, tear-filled, blue eyes.

"Lucas, do not test me. I will warn you one last time to let her go and then I have will not be asking anymore. I'll be telling you, forcing you. Now, do we understand each other?!" He let's out a deep throaty laugh and drops her. Literally drops her on the ground with a sharp thud, and her shriek pierced my ears.

Sighing, I walk over to her cautiously to keep from scaring her after my brother stalked off, stomping towards the house.

"Hey, I'm going to approach you, is that okay? I promise I won't hurt you. That's not what we are all about. "
I give her a small smile and motion towards her, as if to ask "May I?"

She looks up at me and I gasp, unknowingly. She's just so unlike anything that I have ever seen before. Even covered in mud with leaves in her hair, and those raggy clothes that she has on. She's just so breathtakingly beautiful.

If I didn't have excellent hearing I wouldn't heard her whisper what sounded like a name.

"Annastashia? That's your name, right? It's beautiful, like you." I say with a little smile and a slight wink.
"I'm Noah. Noah Scott"

At this point, I am two feet from being right next to her,"Can I help you up?" I whisper, bending down to her, approaching slowly.

She puts her hand out towards me. No longer scurrying away in fear. I give her a slight pull, not wanting to misjudge my strength and scare her. I hear her whisper a "Thank you.", keeping her eyes completely focused on the ground.

" So..Um..I need to ask you a few questions. You know, for safety? It's not that we don't trust you, it's just that we can never be too sure about anything these days. I don't want you to worry about that now though.
First, we should get you a room set up and some food in you, yes?"

She nods her head at me.

"Well, come on then" I start walking towards the two-story pack house, hoping she will take the hint and follow me.

I glance back once, to find her staring up at me, eyes full of distrust, curiosity, and something else that I just couldn't quite place.

I don't stop though. I keep walking, looking back occasionally.

Finally, after my fifth glance back , she just shakes her head and runs to catch up to me on trial.

As we approach the pack house, the others all gather at the door, eager to find out about this new girl.

"Who is that? What does she want?" She's hot", Is what I hear while we walked into the house. Everyone tried to crowd around her, scaring her more.

"Guys, chill out. She's a guest here and her name is Anna"

"Annastashia, actually. Please call me Annastashia." , She then voices.

"My bad", I say as I turn to her, " Annastashia, is a guest here and I would like her to be treated as such. Does everyone understand me?!"

They all quickly nod their heads in submission.

"Good. Now, I don't want anyone questioning her- That's my job only"

"Yes, sir." They all mumble in agreement.

I lead Anna...I mean..Annastashia towards the room she will be staying in. As I open the door to the room across from mine, I say, "I know it's not much but you'll be safe and I am right across the room if you ever need me. I'll send for someone to get you some clothing for your wardrobe. I will also run upstairs and get you some extra blankets for the night, as well as some towels. If we don't have all you need here at the pack house, make a list and get it to me. We will send someone out for it. Oh! And I'll need to know all the foods you like, can't have, etc. I am getting you a phone for emergency as well. If you ever need to contact me while I'm a way, feel freely to do so.

As she looks around the room, she has an awe struck face upon her. She pleads, looking up at me with her shinning blue eyes, " That's all very kind of you Mr. Scott but it's unnecessary. I would however like to come with to get clothing...and a job"

For some odd reason, I found myself staring at her, her eyes pulling me in, unable to focus on anything but her, the way her head tilts, the way she fidgets when she talks, never really looking into your eyes but when she does, that little flicker of light in her blue eyes...it's like being out in the ocean..falling deeper and deeper beneath. Before I even realize, I hear myself agreeing. So, I quickly grasp hold of reality and but in, "However, I must come with you. We will be leaving shortly. So take a moment to freshen up if you must. I'll be awaiting downstairs for you with some food that you can grab quickly "
And with that, I quickly rush out of the room, scared out of mind at what's happening, wondering what is happening for that matter. But just as I was leaving I hear her whisper, "What have I got myself into" in her strangely strong, no longer timid angelic voice. I can't help but think to myself how peculiar that is.
