He is mine

We can't have whales flying from trees, now can we?

Chapter thirty

I headed downstairs, wishing they would all just be gone already with every step i took. The descent felt like it lasted forever before i eventually reached the end. I walked fast--really fast--making a sharp corner and before i know it, i was falling backwards from the impact. A force snaked around my waist, pulling my body flush against a hard and firm surface. It took me awhile to get my sense of balance in check.

"Whoa there little lady," I pulled away quickly, noticing how inappropriate it looked being in the arms of a strsnger. A very good looking stranger, i realised as i looked up.

"Who're ya?" He rudely asked and i fumed. "No, the real question is who are you?!"

"Rude little pup, I oughta spank that pretty ass of yers." I gasped, beyond mortified. I scanned the surrounding for wandering ears. Thank god, no on heard. "Listen here you pervert, you're disgusting and i have zero tolerance towards jerkasses like you so bugger off retard!" I flipped him the finger and side stepped him, heading for the kitchen. He must be a member of one of the visiting packs, fortunate for him, i'm too busy for his crap.

Richard! I internally gushed when i found him hoisting a tray full of breakfast, failing to notice me. "Ri--"

"Old man, there was---hey! This little pup disrespected me." That sick bastard emerged from behind me and starting pointing fingers. Why is he being so informal with Richard?

I glared and stomped on his bare feet with my combat boots claded one. He yelped and fell, rolling onto his side whimpering in agony. "Alice!" Richard scolded me, pushing me aside to get to the perv. My eyes widen in outrage. WHAT? Excuse me?

"Aus, you okay?" He patted 'Aus's' back. I grabbed his wrist and pulled it towards me. "Let him suffer!"

"Alice, are you crazy?" He looked at me like he was convinced that i was indeed--crazy. My eyes were going to pop out of their sockets, "You mean you right? You're not seriously asking if i'm crazy, right? He's a disgusting pervert, Richard! He wanted to spank my 'pretty ass'." i did air quotes for more effect.

His face changed from confused to murderous in zero point one second. He turned to the man groaning on his side, pushed him onto his back and sent a powerful punch flying at the perv's jaw, giving the stranger another reason to cry out in pain.

Richard didn't stop at one, in fact, it didn't seem like he'll be stopping anytime soon. I jumped into action, clinging onto his back and whispering soothing words, he snapped out the trance mid-punch, "It's okay, I'm okay."

"I'm fine." He patted my arms that were linked around his neck. I loosened my grip and let him go. Austing groaned with perfect timing. Stupid pervert. "Who is he, Richard?"

"My ward." He sighed. "Fuck you old man." He slowly got up, rubbing his jaw that was quickly forming a dark bruise.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM?!"

"WARD?!" We both screamed simultaneously and i made a disgusted face.
