Dangerous Red Riding Hood(Editing)

Chapter 9 / Lysander's P.O.V

I suck in a breath as I replay her words. "Everything..." She finally wants to open herself up to me. "Does that mean that you finally trust me? " I ask, trying to mask the pain that was evident in my voice, but fail miserably. She looks up from the ground, right into my eyes and I see regret flash through her's. She reverts her eyes from mine and stares at the ground again. I hear a small chuckle, much to my surprise. "Yes, you could say it like that and now just sit down because we are going to take a lot of time! " I do as she says. She takes a deep breath. "Okay,..here goes nothing.." She says as she sits next to me. "I am going to tell you about George, but before that, I have to tell you a bit about my backstory for you to understand how we even met." She looks deep into my eyes. "Everything that happened, happened in the past, remember that! " Something about that sentence seems to reassure and to worry me. I don't know why. I just nod, waiting for her to start. "Ok..so first of, my full name is Jane Valerie Wels..."- I just close my eyes, replaying her beautiful name. She seems to undestand and chuckles, but still continues - "...I had a wonderful childhood, everyone was calling me 'Little Red Riding Hood' because my grandma sewed a red hood for me. Everything had to come to an end eventually..." - Her eyes become hard -"...My mother died and my father started drinking and abusing me..." - My eyes become wide in shock but soon narrow as I feel my fists clench. She sees in which state I am but still continues her story -"...When I finally had enough from him bullying me, I ran away, I wanted to my grandmothers house and on the way there, I was held up by an Alpha. " She stops talking and stands up. We just stare into each other's eyes and I feel myself relax a bit. She takes my face in her hands and our foreheads meet. "Everything that happened, happened in the past. " Jane tells me, calming me and Blake even more. She stands up straight and starts staring at the wall. "He told me he was my mate..."- I close my eyes, attempting to steady my heavy breaths. -"...I believed him and I had to find out the hard way that I wasn't. Everyday he would find an excuse to hit me. He was very brutal, but I fell for him and I realised to late that that man didn't love me back and just caused me pain. I thought I would never love someone more than I loved him..."- I feel my heart break -"...That was before I met you..."-She chuckles at my shocked expression-"...When I escaped from the packhouse, I went to my grandmothers house." She starts chuckling but there are tears in her eyes. "This is the real story of Red Riding Hood..."- She starts laughing and I take her in my arms and hug her tightly-"...The one where she was hurt by the wolf and her grandmother was dead. " She doesn't make a sound and that is scaring me senseless. I try pulling away but she just holds me tighter and that's when I hear her little, barely audible sobs. "Shhh...It's ok. I will protect you from him! " I try to sooth her. She pulls away just moments after I said it. "No." -"No? " -"You are not going to put anyone at risk just because of me! " Her eyes become hard and dangerous. "You are my mate, of course our pack and I will protect you. You are the Luna of this pack. " We start having a staredown. She clenches her fists. "Then what if I..." -"No!" I cut her of. "Don't even think about that! " I say in a low, dangerous voice, which scared her. "Look..." - I sigh -"...I don't want anything to happen to you and all the packmembers sure also don't..."- I take her hands in mine and squeeze them a bit -"...besides even if we didn't want to, you are our first priority, because a pack without a Luna is a fallen pack. " We stare into each other's eyes and suddendly hear a grumble. "Someone is hungry! " I state with an amused grin. She just blushes and pushes me away. "Shut up, I haven't eaten all day ."
