Chapter Twenty Nine

The footsteps from behind the tree started moving around to me. I rolled my eyes seeing the old man come out with a smirk, "Who do you think it would be my dear."

"This is all really fun and all, I mean being knocked out over and over again and having my head feel like it just got ran over by a semi is a blast, really it is, but I am not in the mood for this crap. Just let me down and I won't kill you."

He roared into laughter, "You're serious aren't you?"

"Duh." I said with a shake of my head.

"Oh no Katherina, Bret has a plan for you; right after I kill your mate."

My heart dropped to my stomach, he is doing this to get Ryder? "Well sucks for you I don't have a mate." I said sounding sure of myself.

He chuckled evilly again, "Sure you do."

"You're stupid mutt of a grandson broke our bond." I pointed out matter of factly.

He just shook his head at me, "You don't know mates at all, and you really don't even know men. You see we are very possessive when it comes to our things, it's in our nature. It's the reason why Bret is doing what he is to get you by his side and under his control again,"

A loud deadly growl echoed in the woods around us. This made the old guy smile showing his teeth, "And why your mate came for you. You are his and his alone." He said never breaking his evil freaky grin.

And as he finished his little speech another furious growl came but this time it was right behind me. I turned my head to see but I could move and see behind this big stupid tree.

"This will be fun." Old man said then back up changing into his wolf. He was huge, like Ryder and Max huge, with grey fur. He snapped his teeth up at me making the wolf behind the tree snarl and jump in front of me protectively. I knew it was Ryder growling from behind me but not seeing him was making me antsy. And now that I could see him that antsy feeling went away and worried overcame me. Old guy was old no doubt about that but the older a werewolf is the stronger and wiser they are.

Bret's grandfather stayed where he was in a slight crouch baring his teeth at Ryder waiting patiently for Ryder to make the first move. But Ryder was smarter than that. He was already crouched in front of me growling at the old guy getting angrier by the second. Ryder took a step towards him snapping his teeth belittling Bret's grandfather and if he is anything like Bret he wouldn't let that go, and he was exactly like Bret. He advanced Ryder in a few short steps and snapped at his head. Ryder ducked and moved out of the way biting the old guy on his back throwing him away from me.

Old guy was up and back on his feet attacking Ryder the same moment Ryder attacked him. Their bodies collided and all you could hear was snapping and growling. When old guy got a hold of Ryder's neck my heart stopped. "No." I cried out. "Ryder," I cried out seeing Bret's grandfather jerking his head from side to side. "Please, please Ryder. Fight." I whispered to him begging him to get up.

The ache in my heart was killing me. I fought against the wires trying to break free. I ignored every puncture mark they made in my body, I struggled with everything I had but nothing worked. I didn't give up and when my eyes landed on Ryder's so many unsaid words were screaming through our eyes.

A loud snarl from Ryder surprised me, he used his claws and clawed at the old guys face making him hiss and loosen his grip on Ryder giving Ryder the chance to get out and just like that he was out and attacking the old guy, snapping his teeth into old guys flesh and ripping chunks out. One by one Ryder ripped Bret's grandfather apart. And with a death hold on old guys throat Ryder growled fiercely and in one quick sharp movement of his head Bret's grandfather was dead.
