Tall, Dark, and Wolfe

Chapter Seventeen

Hey Guys I know a few of you are excited that I am updating again. So I hope you all enjoy this chapter as well :) Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Years Everyone!

Eric could say that he and Giselle went home and mated but he would have been lying. Giselle may have warmed up him a little but she was still upset at the fact that she was forced to marry him. He could tell from the passion in her eyes that she valued her freedom more than her safety. As much as Giselle wanted to deny it Eric knew that it would have been only a matter of time before another male werewolf would have gotten to her. It was an amazing thing that she even lasted as long as she did on her own. It was good that his pack had got her before rouges did. If they had then she probably would have been raped and possibly beaten daily until she could either no longer breed pups or she outlived her usefulness.

Females wolves were born rarely so each female is precious and she be protected as such. That's why the females in his father's pack are never treated harshly and their punishment is less severe than a males. The only time a harsh punishment is given is when the female commits a crime too severe to ignore. Such as betraying the pack.

Eric knew that he and Giselle would have to fully mate soon since as heir to the pack he was  expected to have his own child within the first year of his mating. He hoped she would be willing because he doesn't want his father to find another reason to blackmail her. He want her to like him since they are going to be together for the rest of their lives. He rather it be a good forever than a bad one.

But for now Eric decided to get some much needed sleep next to his mate.

AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Help Us!!!

Hurry up and grab some water!

Giselle and Eric was awoken to screams outside their house. Eric wasted no time in getting dressed and rushing outside to see what was going on. Giselle was much slower in getting up since she wasn't fully awake but the smell of smoke in the air powered her to get into action. She hurried up and rushed out the door to see where the smoke smell was coming from.

At first it was hard to see since the smoke was blowing towards the house instead of away from it. She noticed that several pack members was surrounding the fire that originated from the trees that was outside Giselle's and Eric's house. She could hear Eric yelling orders to the pack members and his father was trying to figure out what was going on.

She felt someone tugging on her robe and turned around to see that it was Josie. "Josie, what happened here?" She could see Josie shaking in fear of something.

"Its..its..its..," Josie could barely say the name.

"Spit it out!" Giselle demanded.

"Damien, it was Damien."

"Who is Damien?" During the total length of time Giselle has been with this pack she has yet to understand who Damein is and what he did.

"Damein is.."

"My brother." A voice came from behind Giselle. She jumped and whirled around to fine her new husband behind her. She had not heard him approach her.

"You have a brother!" She said shocked.

"Yes I do, we don't mention him because became a rouge and had not caused us any trouble since he left the pack," Eric stared at the fire that was almost put out, "But I guess the rules have changed now," A wistful look appeared on his face. "Josie, did you see Damein here or someone else?"

Josie looked him in the eye, "Yes sir I seen him with my own eyes as he ran away."

Eric eyes flashed for a moment, it was too quick for Giselle to see what type of emotion it was. "Alright Josie go inform my father of what you saw and tell the pack warriors to be on the look out for Damein and more rouges but don't tell anyone else of who you saw."

"Aright sir," Josie replied as she set off to do as she asked.

Giselle narrowed her eyes at him, "Is there any other surprises I should know about?"

"At the moment no I don't think there is," he stated to her, "Come on, lets go get some more sleep my father and the other Alphas can handle what is going on here."

Giselle was going to insist on them staying up as well but she started yawning. She guess that now that everything was settled her body didn't feel a need to be up anymore. So she turned and made her way back to the house with Eric following right behind her.
