Human Mate - Completed #Wattys2018 Longlisted

Chapter 5

E L L I A R E

I woke up from my sweet slumber only to hear the water running from a white birch door with a golden door knob.I closed my eyes and inhaled the sweet scent coming from the bathroom.I twisted the door knob and opened it.

I saw Haiden with just a towel hanging on his hips.His perfectly sculpted body was on display.A heat came up to my lips as I gave out a shriek.I covered my eyes.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to look it's just that..." I trailed off as I felt a pair of hand around my arms.A small gasp escape my lips as sparks exploded.I felt so...unreal

"It's okay" He reassured me,my eye sight still dark,due to the fact that I'm still covering my eyes.
"I'll go now.." I quietly said as I turned around.I took my hands out of my face before leaving the room,a heat still on my cheeks.

I quickly closed the door and plopped onto the bed.A glass shattered with a rock flying onto the bed.I let out a loud scream with the sudden shock.I stared at the rock,a tint of red on it.I furrowed my eyebrows.A door slammed open.I turned around to see Haiden only in a pair of cargo shorts.

"What happened?" He asked,looking at me worriedly.I pointed to the rock.His eyes landed on the rock and shattered glass,a small growl escaping his lips.

Growl?

Okay,I'm getting confused.First he growls then his eyes change colors.

Now his eyes were changing colors.It turned from ocean blue to a black eternal abyss.It flickered as I noticed something in his mouth.Something sharp.

Fangs?

I looked down to see his nails sort of extending...

Claws?

I moved myself away from him,slowly going away.I pushed myself up into a corner.I was breathing fast,getting scared.A howl was sounded outside with loud growl too.I peaked out the window to see wolves.Red-eyed wolves.

My eyes widened at the sight.I looked around to see him with a worried face.He reached out his perfectly-now-normal-hand to me.I flinched away,to see only a frown on his face.I looked up and down on his as I tried to ignore his glorious 6 pack.

Sure I've been in the woods but come on,I haven't met a guy since I was 16.I gulped.Just as I was about to place my hand on his,the door slammed open,making me retrieved hand.

"Alpha! The rogue are attacking!" A man said.Haiden,who was called Alpha let out a sigh.
"Get the warriors out now and the female and pups in the safety room" He said with so much authority.The man curtly nodded before closing the door.

"Come with me" He said,taking out his hand to me.
"Please,I want you safe" Something about those words made me fluttery inside.I stood up with my hand in his as he led me out of the room in a hurry.

As soon as he left the room,he let go of me before locking the door.I stayed silent,staring at the door for a while.
"LET ME OUT YOU IMBECILE!" I yelled,banging my hands on the door.
"I'm sorry but it's for your safety" He quietly said,sadness seeping through his words.

Growls and howls were heard from the outside.I ran to the window which was broken but I was cautious.I saw wolves fighting and snapping snouts at one another.Haiden came out with only shorts.

Fur sprouted out of his skin,fangs replaced him teeth and his nails were replaced with huge sharp claws.His figure crouched down onto the ground as he turning into an animal.A wolf.

Their...Werewolves?...

I never knew such creatures existed.

Red-eyes wolves pounced onto Haiden.He pushed them off before letting out a loud growl,booming through out the field.

They all fought each other.My green orbs were only on Haiden.He was fighting off 7 wolves.A 8th one was creeping up behind him,.Haiden was busy fighting off the others,he didn't even hear the red-eyed wolf behind him.

Blood was shown on his black-matted fur.The claws of the wolves scraping against his fur,blood seeping out.He was getting weak and he might even die.

My eyes widened before looking down the window.
"I think I can survive this" I thought before placing my foot over the edge and jumping off,landing into a bush a bit hard.I had a scrape on my knees and elbows.I didn't care at the moment.

Just because he kidnapped me doesn't mean he has to suffer.Okay,I'm going too soft on a man that kidnapped me.

I ran and ran,dodging fighting wolves in the process.I came just in time.I jumped right behind him,the wolves claws digging into my stomach flesh.Pain quickly came to my wounded stomach.

A wince came out of my mouth.Haiden turned around and saw me,horror filling his eyes.

He shifted back into his human self,quickly putting on a pair of shorts around his ankle.

Blood poured out of my open wound as I fell to the forest ground.The grass surrounded my unmoving body.Labored breaths escaped my mouth as everything stopped.

The wolves stopped to stare.Haiden ran to me and took me into his arms.Warmth filling me.He seemed so nice for a kidnapper.I coughed on blood as it dripped off my mouth.

"No,no no no" He quietly repeated,tears forming in his eyes.
"I just found you,don't leave me.Please" He begged,his tears now falling onto my cheeks.I placed my hand on his cheek unconsciously.He leaned against my hand.
"No one.." I stopped,struggling to breath.
"Deserves to..die" My voice broke.
"Don't talk like that,you will be here later.Don't leave me" He said,gripping onto my hand tightly.

The red-eyes wolves all began to retreat.
"Get the pack doctor! Now!" He growled.A few ran in while the others tended to the injured one.My eyesight began to get blurry.He quickly lifted me up in his arms.
"You'll be all right.I promise you Elliare" He quietly said as he ran into the big house.He stepped over dead bodies of wolves.

My eyes felt suddenly heavy now.I struggled to open my eyes.
"Open your eyes.Stay with me" He said,running faster.I just couldn't.My eyes began to shut as I only saw pitch black.

H A I D E N

I couldn't believe that my mate that didn't like me,saved me.The scene kept replaying in my head over and over again,hoping it was me who got injured.

I ran and ran,with her in my arms.Crimson red liquid substance continuously seeping through her open wound.Her blood now stained my skin.

I soon reached the surgery room.A bed was now there with a few pack doctors already there.I gently and quickly placed her on the bed.A chair was placed on the side of the room.I held her hand as I saw her chest barely rising up and down.I took her hand in mine.
"Please stay with me" I begged quietly.

The doctors did what they did.
"Alpha,the wound is heavily damaged.It's going to be fatal if we don't do anything.Our treatment is not going to work" He explained.

"Unless,you do the 'Entanglement Of Bonds' " He said.

The Entanglement Of Bonds if just similar to marking but instead of just one mark,you mark her on each side of the neck.Possibility she would turn into a werewolf and a link would appear,being able for the two partners to see each other's thoughts and feel each other's feelings even stronger.

But,there's a downside to it.It could also be fatal.The process could go wrong in every way but I have to do this.This is our only hope.I can't live without her.

I nodded.I would do anything for my beautiful queen.

And that's a wrap! How did you like it? Is it good? Great? Horrible? I know it's too soon for this to happen but eh..
Anyways! Sorry for the long update!
