Motherly Instincts

Chapter 17

Chloe's P.O.V

Have you ever been in a tense moment, where no one knows what to say so you sit there in silence, avoiding all eye contact? Well, that's me right now.

Picture this. here i am, sitting my pregnant ass down at the kitchen table with Linda, Cassie, hunter, and Jack. just sipping on my cranberry juice slowly, the noise very annoying yet i don't stop. Cassie is beside me glaring holes into the side of hunters head. jack is beside him, his face the picture of pure discomfort, and hunter, stares at me sullenly while Linda swirls around her mug.

Yup, this was more awkward than the time i ran out on the football field at 7 years old in my underwear screaming about the cookie monster being my best friend, while my mother chased me with my pants in her hand.

What? so i was a little cuckoo, I'm sure everyone is like that.......

Anyway, I'm sure you could imagine how tense the atmosphere would be. No one says anything, only the sounds of us breathing fill the air. I quickly glance at hunter over the top of my glass, blushing when his gaze meets mine.

It pains me to watch him, looking at me like he could actually want me back. The girl had left yesterday, apparently hunter had kicked her out afterwards. I didn't see it. I don't particularly like watching my was-boyfriend's hoe bag leaving his room with that stupid smug smile stuck permanently on her stupid face.

Hunter continues to look at me, and i turn away before he can see the hurt and longing in my eyes, Cassie's glare never wavering as he continues to stare shamelessly. We continue like this for several minutes, the silence only getting louder; like an annoying buzz in my ears.

I really can't tell you who made the first move to talk, seeing as i had day drifted off and woken up to find Cassie with a knife in her hand as jack tries to restrain her

"You stupid son-of-a bitch!" she snarls at Hunter, his hands held out in defence as he leans back in his seat. I have to blink a couple of times to actually come to terms with what was happening here. Linda's hand grabs hunter's shoulder and slowly slips in front of him defensively.

"Cassie, put the knife down" Jack cooes in her ear, tightening his arms as her thrashing gets harder. "No! he hurt my friend! he cheated on her, and i will NOT calm down" Her words should send pride through me, and in a way it does, but all i feel is sadness and empty. Hearing it is definitely worse than just thinking about it.

i slowly stand up, everyone too concerned in disarming Cassie and their shouting that they don't realize I'm up and gripping the chair for support. Taking in a deep breath i do the first thing to catch their attention.

Scream.

My scream is loud and shrill, and everyone jumps and twists towards me, fright and panic on their face. They start to come toward's me but i stop and hold up my hand. "I may have spaced out a bit but what the HELL am i looking at?" I say with a raised eyebrow.

I don't expect a guilty look from Cassie and i don't get one either. she just makes a "hmph" sound and crosses her arms. I turn to Jack, who in turns just stares at me. I keep my gaze on his, looking at his eyes as he fidgets and lowers them.

Breathing deeply, I look around at all four of them, Linda having a look between wanting to be amused but angry. "So i am looking at nothing?" I ask again, and everybody nods quickly. My shoulders sag and i drum my fingers a bit. a tingle goes down my spin slowly. My eyes widen and i push away from the chair suddenly.

The noise has everyone jumping up, and yelling as i run as fast as i can while fat, outside. He was running towards me with a smile, while the guards tried to chase after him. My eyes widen dramatically before screaming in happiness.

He leaps towards me and brings me to his arms, and i hug him back tightly, sudden tears spring to my eyes. I can hear a snarl behind me but I don't pay attention. He might of been an asshole sometimes, but he was there for me when the others weren't . "Damien, what are you doing here?" Je stares down at me as i pull back.

Suddenly his face breaks out into panic, glancing behind him quickly. "You have to come. now!" he says, trying to gently tug me towards the forest. I open my mouth but I'm quickly pulled out of his arms and into Jack's. he grasps me tight as Hunter sends his fist straight into Damien's face.

A scream leaves my lips as he pummels into him, blood quickly appearing. "Stop it! leave him alone. HUNTER!" I scream so loudly that it grabs his attention and he pauses mid punch. This gives Damien leeway, and he knocks hunter in the jaw.

Hunter falls to the ground and Damien straddles him, nailing punch after punch into each other. I struggle in jacks arms, crying loudly. "Please, stop it. Damien stop!" No one listens, and the fight becomes more gruesome. Cassie's arms are also around me, and i struggle even harder.

"Chloe stop! he's a rouge and tress passing. Hunter will get rid of it" She doesn't know how i am connected to him, doesn't understand he was and is my friend. I stomp on jacks feet but he just grumbles.

Hunter and Damien are both scrapping madly, and i fear one will get really hurt. Panic comes out from me, myself for Damien and my wolf's for hunter. "Please stop them Jack, please!"

I am sobbing, and i can hear his groan as he hears my choked cries. Sucking in all my breath i scream as loud as i have ever done before, dropping to the ground in a heap before Jack can catch me. both of them stop fighting, and are beside me in an instant.

"Chloe! oh god" Damien rushes, and Hunter pushes him away to get closer t me. "Chloe, what's wrong" He helps me up and i stand with his arms on mine. It feels so good, but i am angry, and anger outweighs my passion.

With strength i didn't know i had, i rammed my fist into his face. He gaps and stumbles back, and i kick his leg. I can feel some of the pain in my mate bond, but it is weak and my anger overshadows any feelings right then and there. "Leave Damien alone! don't you DARE come near us or i swear i will kill you!" My yell is loud, and pain, shock and panic Cross his face. "Chloe, please-" I stop him by walking up to Damien and dragging him into the house, past everyone as they try to talk to me.

I smile softly at him "Lets get you cleaned up" He follows quietly and i grab his hand. "Where were you, i left like 7 days ago" He stops suddenly and i turn to look at him.

He stares back at me and i see panic and fear on his face, with guilt clouding behind his expression. "What?" I squeeze his hand and he looks down at me. "Chloe" He whispers and i frown, urging him on. "You can tell me" I say and he runs a hand over his face.

"Okay" He nods and takes a deep breathe before making me go very still with fear. What he says has my blood pumping, my heart stuttering and my eyes widen commercially.
