Out Of The Dark

Chapter 4

After school I found myself heading towards the forest. My school bag was slung over one shoulder as i trudged my way through the forest. I didn't really know what i was doing walking through the woods. I just have a tug in my gut pulling me towards some invisible destination. 

I kept walking until i found myself in a big clearing. It was a meadow their was tons of flowers blooming in the green grass. Their was even a little stream of Crystal clear water running through the meadow. High above sunlight streamed down on the meadow. Casting a light haze through on the meadow. It literally took my breath away, it was so beautiful i couldn't take my eyes off it.  I walked to the middle of the meadow and sat down. I started to pull out the grass with my hands for something to occupy me. 

I let my thoughts wonder to Ace. How am i supposed to work with him on a project for school, with my brother always their. If my brother found out about Ace their would be a fight between the two packs sooner then expected. I could always go over to his house, but then what about his pack?. I sat their contemplating my thoughts. I was so deep in my thoughts that i hadn't noticed the sound of approaching feet.

I looked towards the forest half expecting a person to come out of the shadows of the forest. But to my surprise it wasn't a person it was a wolf. The wolf was as black as midnight, it cautiously walked over to me. 

"What do you want?" I said to the wolf as it laid next to me and set it's head on my lap. At first i thought it was a normal wolf. But now that i think about it, no normal wild wolf would even come near a human. Let alone lay beside me and put its head on my lap. That's when i noticed the little white patch of fur on the wolf's cheek. With a jump of my heart i realized it was Ace. My heart started beating faster and i felt butter fly's flutter around in my stomach. How did he have this affect on me?, was it because we are mates?. 

"You know it would be easier to talk to you in human form." I said to Ace as i started to run my hand along his head feeling his soft fur. He started to make a sound out of pleasure, that kinda sounded like a purr. I smiled down at him knowing that he wouldn't change back even though i asked him to. 

I jumped at the sound of a twig snapping. Ace jumped to his paws fully alert, he started to growl threateningly. A guy with blond swept hair and green eyes stepped out from the shadows of the forest. That's when i got the urge to shift and kill the man, the mans scent was horrid it was like rotten eggs mixed with pickles. That's when i knew this guy was a fallen angel. I started panicking because i hadn't had any training about fighting fallen angels yet.

"Now what do we have here?, what a pitiful sight. Ace i can't believe your mated with a werewolf. How unlucky can you get?, i will just have to kill her for you." The fallen angel said looking at Ace then he turned his gaze towards me. 

In one quick movement the fallen angel had me in his grasp. He picked me off of the ground by my neck his hands tightening around my throat making it impossible to breath. I looked at Ace from the corner of my eye, black dots swam in front of my eye sight making it hard to see. I gave Ace my most pleading look hoping he would save me. Ace had his teeth bared and his ears was flat back against his head. But he seemed not to be attacking yet.

I could feel myself losing oxygen fast i concentrated hard on not to pass out. But black spots was clouding my vivsion and i couldn't breath. Just as i couldn't hang on any longer, the fallen angel got knocked over. Realsing me from his powerful grip, I landed on the ground gasping for breath. 

When my breathing finally started to become normal, and my vision was clear of black spots. I looked over to Ace. He was still in his wolf form, He was beside the unmoving figure of the fallen angel. Ace limped over towards me slowly, his hind leg seemed to be hurt. I rushed towards him not waiting for him to come towards me. He gave out a small whimper of pain, before turning back into his human form. Ace was only wearing low cut jean shorts, he had no shirt on showing his well defined body. I looked at his right leg and noticed that it was bleeding heavily. 

"Oh my gosh Ace!" I exclaimed pulling him into a hug before he collapsed into my arms like a rag doll. I gently placed him on his back on the ground. he was unconscious, that's when realization hit he is losing to much blood. I knew i had to get help and fast. But who could i ask for help?, I then made the quickest decision of my life and probably the stupidest. But right now Ace needed help or he was going to die and fast.

I shifted into my wolf form and howled the biggest howl i could muster up. I waited impatiently for somebody to shift. Finally after what seemed like forever i heard my brothers voice.

Cassie, whats wrong?

I need you to help my mate, he saved me from a fallen angel and he is losing to much blood he is going to die. I thought to my brother quickly i started to walk back and forth out of pure anxiety that my mate could die.

Okay i will be their right away! My brother said back in my thoughts. 

I shifted back into my human form and ran over to Ace. He was now pale like really pale. I grasped his hand in mine. 

"Don't worry Ace you will be just fine hang in their." I whispered to him even though he couldn't hear me. I then heard my brother's voice from behind me.

"That is the Dark Divine pack's Beta!" I cringed at the tone of voice he was using. 

"Just please help him! he is my mate!" I pleaded to my brother helplessly. I was on the verge of crying.

"Fine just because he saved your life, but after that i want him out of our territory and you are not to see him anymore!." My brother said firmly, I nodded not arguing with him knowing that Ace was on the verge of dieing.  

"Deal" I said my voice thick with growing tears.
