Catch Me (Werewolf)

Chapter Six

Grown More Hostile

"Come on babe, you can't run away from me forever." He let out a loud chuckle, wrapping his arms around my waist as he dipped his head into the crook of my neck.

All of a sudden, he was ripped off my body. My shoulders momentarily sagged before I blinked my eyelids a few times, trying to figure out who my savior was.

Even without having to see who it was, the scent had already revealed who it was.

Nathaniel.

"Did you call his wolf to save us?" I asked Ace while she wagged her tail in delight. I sighed, blinking a few more times as I tried to keep myself awake.

A few punches were thrown, mostly aimed at Dion's stomach as he groaned in pain. In a split second, his collar was grabbed forcefully as he was lifted off the ground.

"Stay away from my woman. Clear?" He let out a low growl before dropping him to the ground in ease.

I felt my headache worsened as I began to lose my foothold. I was about to crash onto the concretes when a pair of arms lifted me, securely wrapped around my waist. Knowing it was Nathaniel, I pushed him away.

"I don't need your help." I muttered, turning to leave before a hand was grasped onto my wrist, pulling me into his arms. Taken aback, my mouth was left agape before a smirk was tugged on his lips.

His fingers gently tilted the back of my head such that my eyes leveled with his before his lips crashed onto mine. My eyes widened at his impulsive move, making me struggle under the kiss.

However the more I struggled, the deeper I fell.

In addition, part of me - my wolf - was trying to take over control in which I intercepted, pushing her back. Yet, I felt myself giving in, gradually shutting my eyelids as I deepened the kiss.

Adrenaline cursed through my veins as I felt tingles from his touch. I hid my odd excitement, trying hard to mask my emotions. The moment his hand touched my butt, I felt the scene being replayed across my mind again.

It successfully pulled me back to reality, making me realise what I have done.

Immediately, I pulled away from him as my eyebrows creased in frustration. My fingers lightly massaged my temples as I glared at him. "Look babe-" I threw a punch at his jaws, interrupting his words.

"Which part of don't ever touch me, do you not understand?" I frowned in anger, my eyebrows slightly tilted. questioningly. I swept my hair to the back, my fingers tugged on my hair tightly in frustration.

"Enough is enough, Nathaniel." I began, my eyes softening at the bruise formed because of my punch. "I didn't reject you since I first met you. But I have also never wanted to accept you from the start. So, please give me a break and leave me alone." I sighed, feeling Ace whimpering at my words.

Apparently, she was against my stand this time.

I turned to leave, about a few feet away from him when a hand rested on my shoulder blade. "No, I can't." His words stopped me dead in my tracks.

"I won't let you have your wish. I can agree to anything but this. You are mine." He firmly stated. At that moment, I felt my stomach churned in what seemed like excitement.

Part of me had never felt this before, wanting to give this relationship a try. Yet, a part of me just couldn't seem to accept him.

All of a sudden, I felt bile in my throat before I dashed to a nearby drain, spilling out all of the contents. I coughed a few times, feeling my cheeks burning from the effects of the drink.

I felt a hand rested on my back, slowly rubbing circles on it. I wiped away the contents stuck on my lips with the back of my hand before I leveled my eyes with his.

He seemed deeply concerned. Why do I have a feeling that he was pulling me towards him no matter how hard I try to push him away? What the f*ck was going on with me?

Arms pulled me up as I was cradled in his arms. Frowning, I opened my mouth to speak when he shut my lips with his index finger. "Listen to me for once, babe. Let me send you home."

I blinked a few more times in astonishment before I slowly rested my head against his chest, trying to keep myself from drifting off to sleep.

Unfortunately, the silent ride and his steady heartbeats were enough to lull me to sleep.

"Shelly, wake up!" A deafening scream ringed in my ears as I stirred in my sleep. I felt a pair of arms resting on my shoulder blades as it shook me vigorously.

I frowned, prying my eyelids open before a slightly fuming Elena stood by my bedside with Starbucks coffee in her hands while her shoulders tensed at my glare. "Geez... Why can't you just give me a break for once, Elena? What's so important that you had to wake me up from my sleep?" I groaned as I threw my pillow at her direction in which she caught it with ease.

A slight frown appeared between her eyebrows before she massaged her temples as she let out a grave sigh. "Your knight in armor had specifically instructed me to pass you this when you wake up." There was a pregnant pause as she handed me the coffee before she continued, "Why were you in dashing knight's arms last night? Details please." She clasped her hands together as she looked at me with the brightest puppy eyes in the world.

I blinked a few times, sweeping my hair to the back as I recalled last night's event. Then, it hit me that Dion's 'coincidence' appearance in the club was linked to her 'excuse'. It was surely not a coincidence.

Frowning, I set my eyes with the most vicious glare in the world. I watched as her face paled from my glare, mentally smirking at her idiocy. How dare she try to set me up with Dion?

Because of her rash move, we almost hooked up.

"Spill. Why was Dion in the club while you excused yourself that you wouldn't be joining me?" I started, my hands clamped onto the duvets. I watched as she swallowed a lump in her throat nervously, her eyes not daring to meet mine.
