A Tainted Love

Chapter Sixteen

Amos's POV

I couldn't find Hannah anywhere. I wanted to talk to her, but I had searched all around town. The only place I hadn't been to was Lily's place, but I was sure that Lily would have let me know that she was taking her to her house. If she did and hadn't told me, I would be furious.

I walked toward my sister's house and beat on the door. It took a moment, but the door was opened and my tired looking sister opened the door. "What do you want? It's freaking late and I was in bed," she snapped at me.

"Don't speak to me like that sister. I want to know where my mate is. I know you must know, or you have her hear with you. I need her." I looked around her, trying to find my mate. I had been having urges ever since I found her. Now that we were at my home, I needed her.

"You may not have her. She is asleep and needs to stay that way. I'll bring her over tomorrow, but I'm not leaving you two alone." Lily tried to shut the door in my face and I gripped the edge and pushed past her. She growled and grabbed my arm, but I pushed her across the room and she landed on the couch. It tipped over, taking her with it.

My eyes cleared and I seemed to realize what I did. I wanted to go over to her, but my wolf was pushing me toward the room where Hannah's scent was strongest.

I opened the door and looked in. She was lying on the bed with no light but from the open window and the almost full moon. She had half the covers over her slim body, but most were dragging in the floor.

I moved toward her. I felt an arm on my shoulder and turned to find Lily standing there with anger on her face. "I told her that I would protect her. You will not have her," she growled at me. She kept her voice low as to not wake Hannah.

"I just want to lay next to her." I walked over, jerking out of Lily's grasp. I climb over Hannah, careful not to touch her or rouse her. She was facing the door, so her back is to me.

"What are you doing?" Lily growled. She moved into the room and I couldn't help but growl as she got closer to us. She stopped as my eyes glowed in the darkness. "As long as you only sleep, I'll let you stay. You have to be gone by the time she wakes up though," Lily compromised.

"Thank you. Now leave." She turned and left, shutting the door behind her. I close my eyes and take in Hannah's scent. She smelled so good to me. Lily's scent was soon forgotten as Hannah's engulfed my senses.

I wrapped my arm around her to see if she was a heavy or light sleeper. She kept snoring lightly, so I moved her up against me. She smiled in her sleep and moved closer to me.

"Garret," she said, rolling over and burying her face in my shirt. Something akin to a purr sounded in my chest. Thought she thought I was Garret, I would still cherish this moment. Soon she would be saying my name in her sleep rather than that one man's. I still couldn't believe he had defied me and bit my mate. She was mine! No one else could have her.

I held her close and soon drifted off to sleep. I dreamed about Hannah and me having a son. Then the dream turned horrible and I found that Hannah wouldn't let me near my son. I didn't know I was moving, but I must have woken up Hannah, for I heard a scream, bringing me back to the real world.

Hannah's POV

I felt warm arms pull me closer to them and instantly thought of Garret. I snuggled closer and fell back asleep. I remembered mumbling Garret's name, but after that was a blur.

I had a nightmare about Amos and him raping me. I was kicking and screaming, trying to get away. I opened my eyes, glad to be back in the real world. I looked around and found I couldn't move. There was someone lying on top of me. I hoped I was back in the tent with Garret and that his was him.
