The Secret Argent

Part 34

A pair of hands grab me. These hands sent sparks through my body. "Oh no! Not again!" I mumbled to myself. These hands cradled me into there arms. I was afraid to look up. Afraid to see the persons face. Afraid of rejection again but I'll have to eventually. I look up and see Liam. LIAM??!! Liam's my mate? He's definitely going to reject me. I whimper and start to cry.

"Shhhhh," his voice sounded like heaven music. "Everything is alright, you'll be alright." Him saying that gave me a sense of comfort and relief. I relaxed into his arms. He continues talking a few seconds later. "I'm going to have to pretend to hate you but don't worry I don't. I'll still have to go along with beating you till you're almost dead, I'm going to hate it every second, but we're going to get out of here together. We're going to have a family together, if you want me. Just be patient, please?" I nodded. I'd wait centuries for him if I had to. Suddenly, we were surrounded by men and women with guns aimed at me. I also had a knife to my neck. When did that get there??!! Doesn't matter, what matters is that it's there. So deep in thought I didn't realize that I was lifted off the ground and into the hands of people with wolfsbane gloves. Seems like everyone here has them on, maybe that's why I couldn't recognize Liam as my mate. I look towards Liam, who is talking to his people, he doesn't have his gloves on. As if he can feel me staring at him, he looks at me. For a split second I had hope, but that disappeared when I realized he was going to beat me continuously till the verge of death.  He seems to be studying me as if he was a hawk looking for his prey. He walked away from the group of people. "What's your name princess?" The ominous in his voice hadn't gone unnoticed.

I looked at him vemonously, "It's Scarlet, Scarlet Argent-Hale." They all looked at each other with puzzled faces. 

"You said you're a Argent and a Hale??" They all looked unconvinced.

"Yes, my mother is Kate Argent and my father is Derek Hale. They had some history together when they were little kids, if you know what I mean." Liam walked closer to me, he grabbed my chin with his bare hand. It took all of me not to nuzzle into his touch.

"Fascinating,  are you a hunter?" He replies with a hopeful glance.

Felix pops out from the crowd, "She can't be, she's one of them!"

Liam slowly stands up, ready to do something about his out burst but I beat him to it by saying,"Yes, I'm a hunter. I was born into this not bitten. I haven't bitten anyone or taken a life. I have hunted my own kind. I 75% hate my own kind, 25% percent I don't because there are some decent people of my kind that are trying to good." That silenced everyone, except Liam, of course.

"She's a hunter and hunter's don't harm other hunters. So no harm is to be done with her."

Again Felix spoke up, "How can we trust her? She's still one of them, lying and manipulative creatures."

I decide to chime in with the first thing that pops up in my head. "You can call my uncle Chris."

Liam pulls out his phone and dialed someone, which I'm assuming is Chris. "Hello is this Chris Argent? Ah, yes. I'm speaking with you concerning Scarlet. Is she your niece? She is? No harm will be done to her. I promise." He looks around to all his people. "She is not to be harmed in any way, does everyone understand? She is one of us but is special in a way.." He looks at me and smiles, I freeze. Am I not going to be beat up? Is my life going to turn up for the better? Am I finally going to get the mate I wished to have? Please let that be so..
