Mountains And Plains [OLD VERSION]

Chapter 24

I felt something nudging me. Whatever it was it wasn't patient. Something cold and wet touched my cheek. I tried to move my body but it was still paralyzied. A nudge again. This time to my side and I finally felt my body waking up. A groan left my lips and I turned my body to the side opening my eye.

I saw a forest. It was very different from the one village was. Whole place was radiating with calmness and light. I was laying in a small patch of grass illuminated with full moon.

I can swear I was in the lake....

Your body is still there...

A soft voice rang in my head and I turned around. There sat grey she-wolf with light blue eyes staring at me. Her stomach had white fur while her back had black.

It took my mind a minute to registrate that a wolf was sitting in front of me and when it did, a small scream escaped and I crawled away from her. My heart was pounding and my body stiff with fear.

A snort rang in my mind.

Pfff... chicken...

I felt anger raise up in me.

Well sorry but I have never slept in a freaking forest with a wolf staring at me nor "left" my body in the middle of drowning....

If she was a human she would have rose her eyebrow.

You are one of the them. Humans with a mate who has an inner wolf and you never heard about meeting your inner wolf?... her voice was sarcastic.

I was raised overseas. If not for some circumstances I would have been at home and not with those people...

I frowned when I felt a small tug in my chest. After such a long time I finally felt homesick.

If not for my oh such a goody mate I would have had a chance to go home but noo he just had to fucking mark me!....

Whitout feeling what I was doing I rose my voice. And with that tears came. Why was I so emotional all of the sudden was not for me to understand.

Oh please, don't start to cry, chicken...

The she-wolf snorted and I clenched my fists.

And you shut your annoying snout! I don't need you to make the situation even worse. I rather cry when no one can see than keep everything inside in order for them to see my weak point!...

I shouted this time.

But you let me see it...

She replied calmly but I could see her body shaking a little bit.

You could be not even real for all I know...

A vicious growl left her throat.

I'll show you who is not real!

She shouted and flung at me taking me by surprise. I felt her teeth sink in my throat and huge wave of pain flung through me. I fell on my back my hands trying to throw her away from me while I scream from pain.

Suddenly, my eyes flung open and I was met with cold full moon and red water. My whole body was burning with need of oxygen while my neck was bleeding. I trashed my body from panic trying to get to the surface.

But the depth I sank previously was gone and with only two kicks I was out of the water. I started to cough while taking in the precious air. Anger was boiling inside me.

I swam to the shore and clenched my neck where the blood was seeping from.

'So this is how you play you carpet material' I growled out of anger.

Shut up you mortal! She shouted back and I felt pain in my head this time. I closed my eyes and I felt an insane smirk appear.

'Well, I hope you are cozy inside because you are not feeling the fucking ground anytime soon' I growled again.

'Ary!' A voice rang by my side and for some reason it was a lot louder than it should be. I hissed and flinched back from the source. Turning my head I saw Zared looking at me seriously.

'What?!' I shouted back with a frown, still angry.

'What was with your babbling just now?' He asked calmly and I snorted.

'I feel sorry for your wolf. This one has some attitude issues' I said and stood up. Zared followed.

'Ary, let me take care of your wound' he said but I turned my back to him.

'No. This little princess with the title "my inner wolf" will do it as an apology' I said coldly.

I felt a strong grip on my hand and I was sharply turned around. I could see Zared's grey eyes lighten a bit. His wolf was surfacing.

'You must treat her properly' a growl left his throat and I felt a pin of fear but pushed it aside.

'No. I'm treating her just like she treats me' I said. Zared's grip got tighter and I gritted my teeth from pain.

'Mr. Zared's wolf, I thought that inner wolfs were supposed to be your second half that you could trust and rely on. Not throwing insults, injuring and rubbing salt on your wounds and breaking your spirit even more.' I said my words towards the wolf inside Zared.

'Breaking the... spirit?..' he asked surprised. At this time it was clearly the Zared's inner wolf since I knew he wouldn't let his feeling showing like a lit christmas tree.

'My boat gets smashed, I see all people I swam with get drowned, then I'm saved only to be kidnapped and marked.' I could feel tears forming in my eyes about to burst out. I was breaking down but I kept on talking 'Then I'm thrown into a "my inner wolf" who only reminds me all this shit. And do you know the best part?' I asked with my arms wide open and my tears streaming down my cheek like a waterfall. 'The fact that there is no fucking way out of this God forgotten place! I'm stuck here, away from my family with people who live in fucking forest with beasts inside them! But let's make this whole situation even worse by forcing me to become like all of you!'

My rant was cut short by Zared's arms pulling me into a bear hug. I kept weeping my face burried into his fur while he stroke my head. The feelings I was bottled up finally came flooding down.

'And here I thought my meeting would be full with rainbows' I said when I calmed down.

'Rainbows?' Zared asked confused and a weak chuckle escaped my lips.

'Woman has to dream' I said and pulled away from him 'Sorry, I made your fur coat wet' I said looking at dark spot.

Zared looked down to the spot and back to me. I shifted my eyes away from him, embarrassed after my show.

'Forget about it. We must clean your wound' he said but I shook my head and took a step back from him.

'No. Let her do it' I said and rubbed my eyes that were full with tears and water.

'You will bleed to death. The wound is a lot serious than you think' he said and I crossed my arms.

'And my little princess has to learn some respect' I said seriously. I could feel her pacing inside me but she blocked her feelings so I didn't know the reason behind her pace.

Zared sighed.

'Okay. Let's go home' he said and I turned to the exit only to woble to the side but before I could fall Zared cought me.

'Ary...' he started but I interupted him.

'Drop it. She has to reflect to her actions' I said and walked into the tunel.
