Chapter 22

Justin

The yelling that came from outside stopped me midway to pulling out the money needed to pay for Katy's things. With my werewolf hearing I was able to detect the voices as my mate's and her father.

My wolf did not like the tone that Kevin was using.

I growled and ran outside as I heard the car driving away and Katy's scent moving, meaning that she had gotten in just as her father had commanded.

My wolf wanted to take control and run to Katy but with the number of people and cars around, I could not take the risk of exposing myself.

I ran in human form and speed which was still quite fast but not as fast as the car. The speed of the car was another thing that my wolf was not liking.

'What kind of man speeds away with another man's car and his mate?' I thought.

'Why is he driving so fast? He could kill our Katy and why are you not running any faster? Just let me take control,' my wolf growled inside my head.

I did not want to reply to him because I knew that if I did then we would argue again and end up not talking for a long time. He has been in the back of my mind for a while and not talking to me now.

My mind was so focused on trying to calm my wolf down that I did not sense Katy's smell getting closer.

Her sweet voice calling my name was what brought me back to reality.

"Katy! Katy, I'm coming for you, baby girl," I yelled, praying that she could hear me.

Just as my eyes landed on her, she stopped running and was about to fall when I used my inhumane speed to rush to her. Making it on time, I caught my beauty and picked her up. She opened her stunning eyes and smiled up at me. I smiled back and whispered, "Go to sleep, Kitty."

"What do you mean I can't cross here? And keep your voice down. You do not want to be the reason that my mate wakes up," I whispered to the boy doing border patrol.

He stopped me as I was about to enter the Silverstone pack's territory saying I was an intruder. The only reason why I did not strangle him was the peacefully sleeping girl in my arms.

I had been walking for about three hours and it was beginning to get dark when I reached the border.

"Matt, I came as soon as I could. What is this about an-" a voice, that seemed to have been running, paused making me snap my head up.

"Stan?" I growled.

"Justin," the man with features similar to mine said. He looked shocked; relieved even and all I did was scoff.

As if feeling the tension, Katy began to squirm in my arms, which meant she was slowly waking up. 

"Uhm could we enter? I'd like for my mate to rest after everything that has happened."

"Yes, of course. I'll lead the way to the pack house," Stan replied.

All I could do the whole way to the house was to clench and unclench my jaw as I saw how beautiful and refreshed the place was. It looked as if nothing ever happened eleven years ago, like if I were to tell you what happened the first thing on your mind would be that I was lying.

"Justin. Baby, calm down and put me down please." I heard a soft voice said.

"You want me to put you down?" I asked.

"Yes, my love. That's what I asked," she smiled touching my slowly growing beard. I did what she asked of me and she went on to touching my forehead, arms and chest from the inside of my shirt.

"Oh my goodness. Justin you are burning up."

"Baby, I'm a werewolf. I'm always this hot."

"No, Justin. Our bodies are touching most of the time, I know your normal body heat and this is way higher. Justin? Baby, are you listening?" She snapped her fingers in my face which made me think that she was trying to get the spinning surroundings to stop.

'Can she feel the spinning as well?'

"Justin? Justin! Don't just stand there! Why aren't you helping my mate? Justin!" Katy's panicked yelling seemed to be fading with every word she said. I wanted to comfort her but I felt my body leaning towards the ground and my eyes closing.

Third Person

Katy finally settled her head onto Justin's body. After looking at him for nearly two hours, waiting for him to wake up, she broke down.

"Justin, please wake up. You know my family is in South Africa and with what happened with my dad, I don't even know what I'm going to do after this so baby you can't leave me. You are the only thing I have. Please Justin. God, please wake him up." She sniffed and tried to wipe away her tears.

A soft knock came from outside the door and a tall brunette woman with grey eyes walked into the room.

"Has he woken up yet?" She asked Katy.

Katy shook her head and wiped away more tears that were flowing.

"Oh honey. I am so sorry. Don't worry, okay? If there is anything that I know about Justin, it is that he is strong and a very good fighter. I also know that he would do everything and anything for the people he loves to be happy. Having him makes you happy and I don't think he would take that away from you." The woman rubbed Katy's back.

"But what if he doesn't wake up, Mrs Silverstone? What if I have been a horrible mate and he chooses to take away my happiness, what would I do then?"

"Honey, you look tired. Why don't you hop in next to your mate and try to get some sleep. It's already late so maybe Justin is being his lazy self and feeling like staying in bed until dinner is served the next day like he used to do in his teenage years." Mrs Silverstone opened up the blanket so Katy would get in. She then walked over to the young girl and pulled her into a long hug.

"Call me Amy if you want. I'll bring breakfast in here in the morning so you won't have to face the whole pack at once."

"Thank you," Katy smiled leaving Amy to nod and exit the room.

When Amy had closed the door, Katy began to undress and finally got into the bed next to Justin. She snuggled into him and sighed, closing her eyes.

"You are not a horrible mate, Kitty." A husky voice spoke.

"Justin?" The surprised girl nearly fell out the bed due to the amount of shock she felt.

"I would never leave you, my love. Now get back to being my cuddle buddy and we'll sort everything out in the morning, yeah?" Katy nodded multiple times and kissed Justin's face before settling back into their previous position.

"You don't understand how much I love you, Justin."

"I think I have a clue because I love you even more."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

"Sleep then?"

Justin chuckled, "Sleep then."
