Think Again Alpha

Chapter 21

"Manus." I whisper.

He releases a vicious growl that pierces my ears. I whimper in defeat and look into his frightening eyes. Wonderful. I've gotten this far just to be eaten by my mom's ex-lover.

He snarls at me and I take a hasty step back. Apparently he doesn't like that, and he releases another heart stopping growl.

He raises his hackles and flicks his ears back aggressively. He is in full on attack mode. I stare at him terrified. He bends down to attack me. As he goes to jump at me, I watch him, fear holding me in place.

I tell my body to move but it won't. I'm stuck. As Manus is about to sink his huge claws into me, a black blob flashes across my vision, taking Manus along with it.

I hear a loud whimper pierce through the air and I watch a ball of brown and black mix together. Finally, they stop turning and I notice the black wolf landed victoriously on top of Manus.

Manus is one of the biggest wolves I have seen, and to watch him be over powered is amazing, although it's probably just due to the surprise aspect of the attack. It must have thrown Manus off guard. The black wolf moves to strike Manus's neck, only, it's too slow. Manus sends it flying. It lands against the building with a thud and falls to the floor in a heap. I stare amazed as the black wolf slowly gets to his feet and finally looks up at Manus.

That's when I see it. The familiarity of the emerald green eyes shining in the moonlight. That's not any black wolf, that's Jayden.

Manus lets out a vicious snarl and gets ready to charge at Jayden who is already weakened. My heart pumps wildly. I can't let this happen, if Manus is successful in attacking him now that Jayden's weak, the outcome doesn't look good.

Manus bends his legs, preparing to attack.  He then springs at Jayden with full force. I feel my heart sink to my stomach, I need to act now.

"No!" I shout and run in between Jayden and Manus.

I expected the impact to be strong, I definitely expect it to nearly kill me. What I didn't expect was opening my eyes and seeing Manus tackled to the floor by two more wolves. A brown one similar to my own, with sparkly blue eyes, and a light brown one. Mom and Will.

Mom looks at me and I know what she wants. She wants me to leave. I nod quickly and look up toward the roof.

To my dismay, Georgia is gone. Where did she go? I look around for her but I don't see anyone in human form besides myself.

I feel a nudge on my bare arm. I jump at first from surprise. Then I notice the sparks trickle through my body. I turn and lock eyes with Jayden.

So many emotions flash through me; happiness, fear, joy, relief, love. I can't contain my tears as they start to spill from my eyes. I hear a small whimper as Jayden bring his giant snout to my face and wipes the tears with his slimy nose. I laugh because it helped none, he just made my face more wet.

I reach up and wipe my tears with my wrists and Jayden motions toward his back. At first I'm confused, but when I see him bend down, I know he wants me to get on.

I don't argue with him and quickly hurdle his back like a horse. I grab onto the ruff of his fur and soon we are off. He sprints into the woods full force and I have to dig my head into his fur so that I can breathe.

A sense of safety flows over me and I smile into Jayden's fur. I intake his smell and enjoy his presence around me. He came to my rescue. Even if I didn't deserve it...

Fear hits me just then, shattering my happy little world. I have to tell him. He needs to know about Manus. Even if he won't want to talk or even look at me, he needs to know.
