The Heart Broken Mate

Chapter Eight

"You're quite fascinating." He says taking a step towards me.

I take a step back, "Oh yeah? How so?"

He smiles, "Your fast even though you're so young. Not to mention you can shift in seconds."

I take another step back, "I'm sure I'm nothing special."

He shakes his head, "I've never seen a wolf so amazing. I mean other than me. I'm quite amazing."

I sigh, great the wolf has an ego.

He laughs, "Yes the wolf has an ego."

I sigh even louder, "Can you stop reading my mind?"

He shakes his head, "I like knowing what your thinking."

I roll my eyes, "Make it quick."

A look of confusion crosses his face, "What? Make what quick?"

"You're still gonna kill me aren't you? Just make it fast."

He shakes his head, "I'm not gonna kill you, Skyler."

"You were last night. What changed?"

"I was gonna take you and then let you go and I was gonna say you escaped but you did much better. You actually escaped from ten of my best men!"

All most suddenly the smell of mutt enters my nose. Blondie must have smelt it too because he begins pulling his pants off. I turn away and I yank my shirt off. We shift just as four wolves come into view. It's the three wolfs from the river last night and another wolf that's brown and much smaller.

I watch as blondie protectively steps in front of me. All four wolves crouch in attack position and they begin to growl. I didn't notice it before but blondie has a patch of black on his tail.

I watch closely, waiting for the next move. The three wolfs from the river all lunge at blondie at once. I go help but the small brown wolf jumps on my back and begins biting me. 

I fall over and I use my back legs to kick him off. He gets slammed into a tree making him whine. I jump up and I run over to Blondie. I jump on one of wolfs that's biting his neck. He backs off and growls at me before running off into the forest.

My wolf takes over and I begin chasing him. I kinda feel bad about leaving Blondie but he's Alpha for a reason, he should be able to fend for himself. The wolf and I reach a clearing with a large tree in the middle at the same time. He stops so I stop. I growl at him readying to kill him.

I growl deeper when about four mutts come out of the forest. God these wolfs are massive. I turn in a circle growling at them all.

Skyler! Think of something or you're dead!

They are starting to surround me so I take off in a bolt in the only direction a wolf isn't standing. I run through the forest jumping off trees and logs to become faster. 

Hey, I'm a coward but I'm an alive coward.

I stop when all noises stop. I turn around expecting to be attacked but no one is there. They must have given up! I make my way back home and I shift before eating and falling asleep.
