Mystery Wolf

Chapter Ten

Chapter Ten:

 

 Zak was standing there, looking at me and Emily with wide eyes. Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit. I glanced over at Emily who was glancing at me as well. How did he..? And why was he...?

 'WHAT THE HELL?' He yelled in confusion.

 'Uh, s-she's not Calla. Pff, have you been taking your meds Zakky?' Emily laughed, but it sounded shaky and nervous.

 'Yeah! Ha-ha, who's Calla?' I laughed, but it sounded just as fake as Emily's.

 'Oh cut the shit, I heard your entire conversation. Oh and congrats on finding your mate.' Zak said with a smirk.

 Emily sighed and I growled. This guy seriously pissed me off on a daily basis.

 'Now you listen here asshole, I don't know who you think you are-'

 'Hey guys!' a new voice interrupted.

 We all turned out heads to see none other than Payton running towards us. Oh my god did he hear?! He sensed the tension between us all and cocked his head, confused.

 'What's going on? You look really mad, Mystery.' He commented.

 I cooled myself down and cleared my throat.

 'Nothing, just uh...chatting. What are you doing here?'

 'Well I was hoping that I'd run into you so I could remind you about pack watch tonight. You always seem to be out here at one point or another.' He laughed.

 'Oh, okay. Well-'

 'So Payton, any girls you're interested in?' Zak asked slyly.

 Payton paled and shook his head, frowning. I resisted the urge to snap my jaws at Zak and snarl. That jackass better keep his fucking mouth shut before I shut it for him!

 'You know, moving on right after your girlfriend was slaughtered is so...cold don't you think?' he smirked.

 Emily looked at Zak in confusion as Payton took a step back, looking nervous and a little scared.

 'Back off Zak!' I snarled, stepping forward as I prepared to throw myself at him.

 Emily nudged me and motioned at Zak and that's when I saw that his eyes weren't their usual bright blue. They were...green? He turned his gaze to me and smiled maliciously. This...this wasn't Zak.

 'Awe, is Mystery mad that I'm interfering with her m-'

 I pounced on 'Zak' and we began to fight. Whoever this was is a whole lot stronger than any wolf I'd ever met. He threw me off of him and ripped into my shoulder. I yelped in pain but managed to kick him off of me before he could do any further damage. I attacked again and went for his side. I managed to leave a large gash and he howled in pain. I jumped back just as he snapped his jaws at me. I heard Payton gasp and I turned around to make sure he was okay. But suddenly, his blue eyes widened.

 'Mystery, look out!' he screamed.

 I turned but Zak had already knocked me down and started to choke me. I growled and fought but he didn't let up. That's when I felt his weight suddenly fall off of me with a snarl from another wolf. I coughed and looked up as my vision faded to black. Was that...was that Payton?
