Brave Heart

Chapter 9. "White wolf and white lies."

-Christians POV-

Watching Isabel in such pain was killing me. My wolf was clawing its way to get out to tend to Isabel. I wanted to take away any fiber of discomfort from her. It was clear that she was shifting, she was finally going to have her wolf after 20 years. I was beyond excited to finally meet her wolf; but I was also worried for how she was going to react and feel. She kept whimpering in my arms as her beautiful eyes kept flashing up at me. I want to spend the rest of my life with this woman; the time we have spent together has already been breath taking. I would be damned if I let anything happen to her. She is my Luna; and I will protect her against anyone and anything for the rest of our lives. I let my hand rest on top of her head, pushing away any strands in her face. She was begging for the pain to stop, to take it away. Oh my Isabel...

"I wish I could love, I wish I could take all the pain away." I placed my lips to her forehead. The contact with her was so much more... electrifying. My wolf began howling in my head; he wanted out... he wanted his mate. I sniffed the air and felt my eyes darken. Her scent was so strong; I couldn't get over that smell. I felt like I was in a daze.

Mate, I must be with mate.
My wolf Xander kept pushing on the walls... I had to fight him hard to stay away.

You will have your chance soon, I need to be with Isabel right now...
I clenched my eyes shut in hopes he would listen to me for once.

"I found it!! I found her necklace. Andrew quick where is she!? She has to put it back on now!" I heard Isabel's mother frantic in the distance yelling quickly at Alpha King. No... No she will not do this again. She will not do this to Isabel or her wolf anymore. I let out a deathly growl, my wolf was getting agitated. He didn't like the thought of his mates wolf leaving him. And I didn't either. Her eyes landed on Isabel and she was booking it over to us as if getting that necklace on my mate was life or death. No...

Isabel's pain was growing rapidly, I heard her bones beginning to crack. It was the last phase before she would turn. She is too close for her wolf to just be locked away again. She let out a deafening scream. As much as I wanted to hold her, I knew she needed space. I backed up ready for her to transform. Her mother was near and unclasped her necklace trying to put it on Isabel. No.. My wolf took over, I took quick strides over to my mates mother and held her back as she tried to get that horrid necklace back on Isabel.

"Enough! You cannot just put that damned thing on your daughter because you are afraid." I growled lowly. Angry, furious at how her daughter is in pain yet her one focus was that charm. Her mother gave me stone cold eyes; fighting me to get out of my arms.

"You have no idea what you have done... both of you don't know what you just did to Isabel." Marie was hysteric with tears and horror. I heard the thrashing stop; and my wolf sniffed the air. My head shifted fast in Isabel's direction. There she was... her beautiful wolf. A white magnificent wolf... I have never seen one before. They haven't been found in centuries. They are so rare... so powerful any of their kind left had to go in hiding. They were in danger from the human world, and our world. Everywhere they were hunted and taken for their gifts given by the moon goddess. Her mother stopped fighting me and dropped to the ground with her head in her hands.

I walked closer to where Isabel now stood as her prominent wolf. I was so proud to have her as my mate. She seemed to be adjusting to her new form well, observing her territory, and listening for the sounds around her. I noticed her looking right at me and in that moment, my wolf lost control. He was pacing and howling in my head.

I need mate now. Mates wolf knows who I am.  My wolf was getting antsy.

I approached Isabel and held out my hand to her. She tilted her head and backed up for a moment. Until she sniffed the air once more and came closer and closer. Her structure was large; no doubt the amount of power she holds within her. Her muzzle dropped towards my face and gave me a big sloppy lick to my cheek. I couldn't help but chuckle at my mate as after she let her tongue hang to the side and she sat down. I let my fingers comb through her fur, she leaned into me enjoying my contact.
