FIRST

Im bouncing around...

CHAPTER 10

I'm bouncing around, my head cushioned by a hard cold surface and i'm moving, fast. i can't tell what is happening until i find the strength to pry my eyes open, the sunlight that streams down onto my face from the car window blinds me. As my eyes adjust i take a look around the cabin. i'm laying on the backseat of the vehicle, black leather seats are under me and the middle seat bet is strapped over my middle to keep me slightly in the seat over the rough terrain. i try my luck at sitting up when my entire chest aches with a sharp pain, i hiss out and collapse back onto my seat, i rest there for a second trying to catch my breath. His scent wafts into my nose and i quickly whip my head around and spot the back of his head in the drivers seat.

"Maximus" i whisper trying to catch his attention. he slightly tilts his head in my direction signaling he heard me.

"Where are we going?" No reply.

"What happened back there?" No reply.

"Who were those men?" Nothing.

"Can you please stop the fucking car!" I yell. Maximus swerves sharply onto the highway edge and throws the car into park before throwing his door open, opening the one by my feet and dragging me out.

He roughly shoves me against the side of the car, his chest touches mine everytime he takes a breathe in, he's seething with anger.

"What the hell is wrong with you!" i scream in his face

"What the hell is wrong with me?" he growls

"YES! i was the one who was attacked in her apartment and nearly killed with no explanation!" I push at his chest but the movement makes my chest burn. if he wasn't holding most of my weight against the car then i would collapse considering i can barely feel my legs.

"You shouldn't have been nearly killed! you're a werewolf for christ sake! you should've been able to take down those pests with no trouble especially considering i'm your mate that must mean there is some strength in that little body of yours!"

i'm taken aback by his words but there's no way i'm going to let him spin this on me.

"Listen here! You know nothing about me or my wolf, I wouldn't have been in danger if those people weren't after your ancient ass for whatever the hell you did to them you stupid good for nothing fossil!!" I take deep breathes in and out to calm the rage in my body. i want to punch him or kick him or something but i could never. I almost miss the way he freezes when i mention his "ancient ass"

"Y-you b-believe me?" he speaks slowly

"I had dinner with my family before your little friends showed up and my grandfather took the liberties of filling me in on your background"

"what do you mean, filling you in on my background? there are no records on me...atleast there shouldn't be..." Maximus looks deep in throught when i stomp on his foot with my good leg

"Can you talk about this later! we have bigger issues at hand-" before i can begin my interrogation Maximus drags me to the passenger seat while mumbling out a "Not here" before hopping in the drivers seat.

"Max-"

"Madeleine, please just wait until we get there" With that i shut up and just look at him. That's when i noticed his bloody dried shirt and jeans, his hair is to useless and his hands are stained red.
my mouth drops open as i start at him, my heart speeds up like its gonna burst out of my chest

"Max! what happened, oh my god are you hurt? did they hurt you? we need to get you cleaned up. oh my god this is all my fault" i run my fingers through my hair staring at him.
