Chapter 24- The Golden Wolf.

 

 

'A wolf?! My supposed-to-be human best friend just turned into a golden wolf?!'  Ella thought in horror as she stayed where she was on the ground.

"Ella!" came Edward's voice but it was faint, she could barely hear it as her eyes stayed fixed on two of the people she cared about most. The golden wolf- that she didn't dare call Daniel- was eyeing Johnathan with a dangerous glare, its teeth bared as he and Johnathan circled each other. Both of them waiting for the other to make the first move.

Ella could faintly make out Edward's worried voice asking her if she was alright but she was frozen on the spot and she felt cold. Cold as if she was freezing from the inside out. The wolf was waiting patiently for Johnathan to move and finally Johnathan leaped forward on to the wolf. The two slammed into each other and the force of the impact caused the ground to shake as a lightening sound was heard.

The two monsters were clawing and teething at each other. Cries of pain and roars of fight were heard from the both of them. In a few minutes the wolf had Johnathan pinned to the ground under him. The wolf's bared teeth were so close to Johnathan's face as he snarled warningly. Johnathan's face was turned to the side and his eyes were clenched shut as he gasped and tried to wiggle under the wolf's weight.

 "I am back! I am back!" Johnathan cried desperately. The wolf huffed and let most of its weight rest on Johnathan. Johnathan started to shake slightly. "I swear it is me! I swear!" Johnathan begged and turned his face towards the wolf's so their nose touched. Johnathan fluttered his eyes open so the wolf could stare into them. Johnathan's eyes were back to their amazing blue colour, his skin back to its bronze tan and he no longer had deadly fangs.

The wolf looked in Johnathan’s eyes for what seemed like an eternity before sniffing him. The wolf then nodded his head in approval before he moved from on top of Johnathan. The wolf then moved to Edward's and Ella's side to stand as a guard.  Ella was sobbing into Edward's chest, her hands clutching the front of his dress shirt as if he was her life line.

"I am so sorry Ella!" Johnathan said but he didn't dare step near knowing well that if he even thought about doing so Edward and Daniel would rip his throat open. Ella nodded through her sobs but she didn't lift her face from where it was buried in Edward's chest or loosen the grip she had on his shirt. Johnathan stared at her sadly for a minute before his brother's angry voice told him to leave and he quickly did. He speeded from where he was and entered the palace. The first thing he saw was his cruel mate sitting there on the bottom step of the wide stair case in the middle of the large foyer. Ellie was smirking as she examined her black painted nails. Her legs were crossed and the dress rose up to her upper thighs giving Johnathan a very nice view of her long legs. But frankly he was in no mood for that he marched towards her and grabbed her upper arm as he roughly pulled her up. Ellie started to protest but the murderous glare he gave her made her shut her mouth shut as he lead her up the stairs and to his room.
