My Alpha is A Cowboy

Chapter 18

Danielle P.O.V

I have no clue as to what is going on. This day is so against me, first Ryder and his brother, now this. Someone picked the wrong day to fuck around.

"Ryder, I swear, if you don't slow this fucking car down I will personally end you," I screamed as we drifted around the corner. He gulped and slowed down. I mean seriously, we don't need to go at a deathly speed to the house I was staying at, it was seriously like right down the road, I mean come on dude chill, it's my family and all, but really, we don't need to die on the way to saving them.

After we pulled up, I grabbed a knife and stood next to Ryder as he shifted into a wolf. He's so pretty. No- focus... on that pretty fur that's so- STOP! Looking at me, Ryder's wolf raised an eyebrow as best as he could. I nodded and started to walk to the house. Ryder leaped in front of me growling and stopped me dead in my tracks. Nudging him with my foot I tried to get him to move again. He turned to me and growled, that scared the shit out of me and I definitely stopped. No one wants a giant ass wolf growling at them, even if you do know them. A couple wolves went forward and walked into the house. Ryder started to walk toward the house and I followed.

When I got inside everything was a mess. The furniture was shredded,and blood drops were on the floor. I gasped and teared up, I hope that's not my family's blood. While Ryder was walking to the kitchen I walked to my parent's room where I found more blood stains. Heart beating, I pushed open their door only to find three dead and I mean very dead wolves in their room. My parents? Nope. I looked around in their room and got to their closet, it was slightly ajar. Mustering up my courage I nudged it open, finding Dylan and my mom sitting there with their hands over their mouths. Once they saw it was me they screamed and jumped on me.

Ryder came bounding into the room snarling. My mother grabbed her knife and was ready to jump on him, when I placed myself in between them. Looking at Ryder I raised my eyebrow and he shrugged, as much as a wolf could shrug.

"Mom-" I started but she cut me off.

"It's happening again?! Danielle, the whole reason we left was because of this now it's here happening again! And where the hell is your father?!" As soon as the words left her mouth my dad came limping out of the bathroom, with blood running down his leg.

"Honey, please stop shouting. And don't worry about me, I was just stitching this bad boy up. Oh, Danielle, please explain to me WHY YOU ARE DEFENDING THIS ANIMAL?!"

I cowered back towards Ryder and he growled stepping in front of me. Dylan slightly smiled and my parents gasped, shock evident on their faces. "Danielle? Are you-?

"Yes. Now for the love of god chill out," I tapped Ryder's back, "go change. You can go to Dylan's room and borrow some of his." He looked at me with this look of 'are you crazy, you're parents are mad at you, I'm not leaving you?!' "OH FOR FUCKS SAKE, RYDER, GO. I'll be fine." He pouted and walked off, "sorry," I whispered knowing he could hear.

"Ryder?" my mom asked, "like the one you brought over for dinner a while back?"

I smiled sheepishly and nodded my head. She stared at me and then walked out with my dad right behind her. Dylan walked over to me and wrapped me in a hug. "She'll get over it." Dylan let me go, smiled at me, and walked out of the room.

"Hey, some of my men caught some of the wolves that were running away and took them to the holding rooms, I have to go back. Would you like to go with me and stay for awhile and let them cool down?"I smiled at him and nodded.
