Heartless

Waiting

Chapter 55

"Damn, how long does it take to bring charges against Carson and the others?" It has been almost an hour since Creed's uncle and the other councilmen were shut up behind closed doors. Creed been lightly rubbing the back of my neck trying to keep me calm. I was restless and jumped up from my seat and paced back and forth.

"This is unprecedented. They are about to get rid of half the council." Klaus stated staring down at his phone. He was here along with a couple of more members of the CIF.

"I know." I stated with a huff and plopped back down next to Creed. "I just hate waiting."

"Any news James?" Creed asked as James re-entered the room.

"No, it was Natasha. She's back home from visiting her mom's." James sat on the other side of Creed.

"She and Samantha okay?"

"Yeah, they are okay, ready for me to come back home. I hope this shit is finally done, so I can go back to my family and Colin can take his family back home." James bend over putting his head in his hands.

"Soon brother, everything will be back to normal." Creed patted him on the back.

"Are you fucking kidding me! Normal? There's no normal after today. Half of the council is about to implode!" Sanders rose from his seat and walked towards us. He was Klaus, right-hand man and an all-out asshole. We've always clashed during the days I lived at CIF. "What do you think will happen when all this filter down to the packs? There will be no law and no order. All because your bitch had to be a fucking nun."

I didn't care that he called me a bitch, but I took offense to him calling me a nun. I was doing what I know was right. I jumped into his face my hand wrapping around his throat. I felt the hard metal of his gun at my temple. "I'm not some blind, mindless robot that follow orders that I don't agree with. You have the balls to put that gun to my head, then you better use it!" Creed was at my back growling lowly barely controlling his wolf.

"Hey, hey Sanders put your weapon up. We don't need to be fighting with each other. That's an order." Klaus ordered.

My nails elongated piercing into his skin. "Listen to him, Sanders. If you don't, it will be the last thing you ever do." I threaten my voice dropping and my wolf shoving her dominance over to his wolf. Our eyes remain locked but I could feel him wavering. "Put the gun down and I won't touch you."

His eyes flickered to Klaus, I gave him his out without looking too weak. Sanders removed the gun from me head and placed it back into its holder. I released him and he backed up raising his arms in the air. "I'm sorry, this waiting is getting to me. I didn't mean any of that shit Pesch. You know too much time on my hands is not good for me. My mouth gets the better of me sometime."

"No problem." I resumed my seat. However, Creed was not so forgiving. He pounced on Sanders and pinned him to the floor and began punching him.

"She promised not to touch you, but I didn't! Don't you fucking ever put a gun to my mate's head or even aim it in her direction!" Klaus and his men rushed to pull Creed off Sanders, as me and James watch the show. After a few unsuccessful attempts, Creed got up. I went to him grabbing his bloody knuckles and pulled him out the room into the ladies' bathroom down the hall. I locked the door, before cleaning the blood off his hands.

"You didn't have to do that." I kissed his clean knuckles and then wrapped my arms around him.

"Yes, I did. He needed to learn that if he messes with you, then that means he will be messing with me too." My heart accelerated at his revelation. I pulled his face down to give him a simple, sweet kiss. Soon the sweet kiss heated up quickly to one with passion and need.
