Roman the Arrogant

Chapter 7

A man I've never seen before came into my line of sight and made his way towards me.

"You're not Roman." I said as I started to think of an exit plan.

But speed and strength would be my downfall if I tried to run away. The man looked to be 6 feet maybe taller, he had tanned skin like Roman but his physique was lacking in my opinion. Okay why am I thinking about this man's body when he could be here to kill me. Get your head in the game Bella and think.

"Nope I'm the big bad wolf." He smirked evilly.

This guy really needed to work on his intimidation skills because they were laughable at best.

"Then I must be little red and we all know the what happens to wolf at the end." I said getting into the best fighting stance I could posture.

I stood no chance if I ran and I wasn't surrendering, so I guess I have no choice but to stand my ground and fight. As soon as I raised my fists up to my face the big bad wolf fell to the ground clutching his stomach.

What the hell is so funny? Never mind this, now's my chance to run. I started running opposite of him before he yelled for me to wait and that he wasn't here to hurt me. Call me naïve if you want but I sensed that he was telling me the truth. But just in case I kept my distance as I turned to face him. He slowly got up and wiped the tears from his eyes.

I rolled my eyes, "Who are you? And if you're not here to kill me then what are you doing out here?"

He smiled and started to walk in my direction.

"Stop right there if you ever want to have kids." I threatened.

He backed away with his hands between his legs.

"Better. Now answer me."

"I'm Emilio, Alpha Roman's beta and best friend. Roman sent out a search party to find his mate. That must be you and you're luck I'm the one who found you. Roman really needs to teach how to fight." He said trying to hold back his laughter. It wasn't even that funny.

Emilio's eyes hazed over, I don't know what he's doing but he's going to pay for laughing at me. I ran up to him and kicked him right where the sun don't shine. He fell to the ground and this time out of pain.

"Oh, come on my tiny feet did not hurt but that's what you get for laughing at your Luna." I said looking down at him on the ground.

Out of nowhere I was being swept off my feet by strong arms. I immediately knew it was Roman who was hugging me.

"Bella, are you okay?" He asked after setting me back on my feet.

I nodded before wrapping my arms around his midsection. He quickly embraced my small figure once again and leaning down to kiss the top of my head.

"You had us worried to death. Don't ever run away again. Promise me."

"I promise." I said inhaling his calming scent.

Roman must have seen his beta on the ground because he got into a protective stance.

"Emilio what happened? Are there rogue's nearby?" Roman asked as his eyes search the area around us.

Emilio shook his head and was barely able to mumble one word. "Bella..." Emilio was the only word he managed to say.

"Bella's safe Emilio. But who did this to you?" Roman asked enraged that someone had injured his beta.

I slowly started to back away when Emilio looked my way.

Roman turned his attention to me and asked. "Kitten did you see who did this?"
