Runaway Trapped

Chapter 9

Violet's POV

When I woke up I felt really warm. I unconsciously snuggled into it more and then it moved. My eyes shot open to be met with someone's chest. Then I remembered yesterday.... I looked up to see a very adorable sleeping Derek. I want to pinch his cheek so badly. He looked at peace and I noticed he had an arm draped around my waist. I decided to get out of bed. It wasn't an easy task. Several times he pushed me back against him in his sleep. I wanted to laugh so hard at how he was being but I didn't want to wake him. Finally once I got out of bed I headed to the kitchen. I couldn't help when my mood dimmed suddenly.

Will Dex come back to finish what he had started last night. The thought of it had me shaking as I tried to make coffee. My hands wouldn't stop shaking. Then I thought of Derek.. He rescued me. I owe him my life. I got out eggs, bacon, and ingredients for French toast. As I made breakfast I wondered why I felt so safe when I was with him. He made me stop shaking last night and I don't know. It's just something about him. My wolf says that there is something off about him but I just don't know what. Just as I was finishing Derek walked in. He rubbed his eyes sleepily. His clothes were rumbled and his hair was a cute little mess. I smiled at him and he actually smiled back. "Morning" I said to him." Good morning" he smiled back as he came around the counter to give me a hug.

I embraced him and couldn't help but sigh. He looked down at me," You know we are going to have to talk about last night." I shook my head," No Derek we don't HAVE to." He rolled his eyes as he grabbed some grub. I grabbed some egg whites and two pieces of French toast. We ate in a comfortable silence. His eyes glazed over and he looked up at me with a sad glint in his eyes," Please tell me who did that to you." I looked away," I can't tell you Derek just don't worry about it." He scoffed," Not worry about it?!?! Do you remember what happened last night? Do you know what could've happened? That guy could come back any day! Then what are you going to do?!" My hands started to shake more," Derek just calm down okay? I can deal with this." He laughed," I don't know about you but the next time I see you I don't want it to be you tied to a bed being raped!"I flinched at his words and my shaking hands wouldn't stop. " Please Derek just stop" I said quietly looking into his eyes. They softened and he gave a short nod. I reached over the table to grab his hand in my shaking one," I just need you to be here for me right now Derek.... I- i- I have no one else." " I'm sorry V I just can't help when my wolf is angry." He said. Those words made my heart drop into my stomach, wolf? My heart rate increased as I registered those words. He's a wolf?! He must've seen my panicked look," It's ok I know your a wolf too. I'm not here to hurt you and I only want to help you." I calmed down as he said this words. I looked into his eyes seeing sincerity. I sighed and got up to put our plates away.

The rest of the day we watched movies. That whole time all I thought about was... Should I tell him why I am here? Should I tell him about my life? I just didn't know. Something told me I could trust him though. As we were nearing the end of one of the movies I sighed and looked over at Derek," Let's talk." He looked at me and nodded. " Ok so I really don't know how to say this so I'm just going to be straight forward with you." I sighed before continuing," Well I'm here because I ran away from my abusive parents and then I met my mate and ran away from him. That's why I am here. This is where I decided to settle down. I'm not in college yet. I'm only a junior in highschool." He looked shocked but kept his cool. He asked some questions and I answered them all honestly. Then I told him everything from my little sister dying to being kidnapped by my mate. He told me about how he's lived here his whole life. He also told me really heart breaking news. He told me about his mate. She is dead. She died from and unknown illness a month after he met her. He looked so broken. We talked for a while and I decided to break the ice." I want to tell you who molested me last night." I said. he nodded for me to continue. " You can not and I mean can not go track him down and beat the shit out of him. You need to be here for me and trust that this is the right thing to do." He looked reluctant but agreed. I blew out a breath," His name was Dex," I stuttered out trying not to choke up," He umm he was my boyfriend and then I had broken up with him because he was flirting with this other chick. He tried to get back with me but I told him no. Next thing I know I come into the building to get sucker punched and yea..." I trailed off. I looked at Derek to see his eyes were a bright green. He looked really angry so I placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder to relax him. I rubbed his arm and he cooled down. I held my shaky hand out for Derek to grab it. He took hold of my hand filling it with warmth.
