Caught In Between (Caught Series #1) (Completed)

Chapter 4- Damion (Edited)

When I stepped out of my truck all I could smell was Lavender with some sweet Honey. "Mate," I whispered.

Bane growled, and I knew that he also smelt it. 'Mate,' he said. 'Go get her.'

I couldn't agree with him and walked away from my truck with Chloe and Mike following. I kept sniffing and followed the scent. The scent lead to the most beautiful girl that I had ever seen, trying to climb out of a beat up Chevy.

Her red hair was tied into a braid, and it looked like it would reach the small part of her back She was maybe 5'8 and looked as if to have muscles. Well, it might be because that she's climbing out of a window from her truck, I thought myself.

"Need help?" I asked, trying not to smile. She would make a fine Luna and would probably keep the others in check. I was sure of that. She shivered slightly at the sound of my voice, and I knew that she felt it. I couldn't help but take a sniff of the air and smelt that she was a human.

"No," she replied, getting out of the truck, landing on her feet. She sounded rather annoyed, but I was sure that it wasn't because of me. She kicked her truck's tire. "Stupid truck."

"Mate," I whispered. I couldn't help but whisper it, because it was true. This female was my mate. And, I found her at last. I cleared my throat knowing that I did have to say something. "Uh... are you sure that you don't need help?"

She turned around and studied us before turning her gaze back to me. And boy let me say something, her eyes were the uniquest things that I had ever seen. She had green eyes that had specks of silver in them, and it looked normal.

"No, I'm fine. Door's jammed, but a hammer should fix that." She nodded her head towards her truck "I can do that later." She cleared her throat. "Um... I have to get to work." With that, she turned towards her truck, reached inside it and pulled out something. She slung it over her shoulder and started to walk towards the restaurant.

'Do something,' Bane said. 'Mate, getting away.'

"Wait," I called after her.

She stiffened but turned to look at me, and this time I studied her face. Her face was beautiful, but she seemed to have huge black bags under her eyes. I wondered why she had them, but I wasn't going to pry. I knew that I would find out later.

My wolf howled in approval, glad that she was her mate. I looked her over, loving the fact that she had muscles and looked like she could take care of herself. I felt a small sense of pride come over me, glad that she was mate, even if she was a Human.

My eyes landed on a scar tip that was on her neck and saw that it trailed underneath her shirt. A frown appeared on my face because it looked really old. Someone had hurt my mate, and I was going to kill whoever did it.

'Our mate is hurt! Kill whomever did that to her!' Bane yelled. He growled and started to try and take control of us. My eyes started to turn a darker green, because of Bane trying to take control.

The female stiffened and pulled her shirt over her scar. Her whole body was tense, probably because I was inches away from switching into wolf form.

'Alpha, calm your wolf. She is scared,' Chloe said, seeing the scar along with Michael. Pity filled her voice, and I knew that both of them were very upset like I was about the change in events.

I closed my eyes and got Bane under control, even though he wasn't happy about it. I took a couple of deep breaths and ignored everything. When I opened them, all I could see was red hair before it disappeared into Ruby Tuesdays.

My thoughts were muddled, and I didn't even know that we had been seated. I could smell her everywhere here and didn't understand why.

Bane was wanting to find her again and take her in our arms. He kept on growling, wanting to me to move and follow her scent. However, it was everywhere, and we wouldn't be able to find her with just her scent.

"Hi, I'm Bethany Ann and I'll be your server today," a voice that sounded like an angel said, even though it sounded slightly jealous.

I blinked, getting my head and looked around the room confused, before spying Chloe besides me with Michael on her other side. We had been seated, and I hadn't realized it. I shook my head, clearing my thoughts and looked up to see the green/silver eyes staring into my green ones. I couldn't help but smirk when she looked at me, making her lips thin out, before the turned back into a fake smile.

"What would you like to drink?"

Bethany Ann, I thought. That is what she had said. What a beautiful name for a beautiful girl.

"I would like two Cokes and one Diet Coke, please," Michael said, quickly.

"Are you calling me fat?" Chloe asked with a huff as she folded her arms around her chest. A smile danced on her lips because Michael had gotten really uncomfortable. "Can you scratch the Diet Coke and get me a Sweet Tea instead?" she asked.

A real smile grace her lips, making her look more beautiful. "Of course," she said, writing it down. She cleared her throat, glancing back at me. "I'll be right back with your drinks." With that she turned around and walked away to get our drinks, swaying her hips a little.

"Well?" Chloe asked, turning to Michael. She broke me from looking at my mate and made me focus on the conversation that she was having with her mate. She folded her arms across her chest and raised an eyebrow. "Do you think I'm fat?"

"N-no, I-I don't think that you are fat, Chlo. I-I thought t-that you liked Diet Coke," Michael said, stuttering.

"I do, but I'm from Georgia, and I'm craving some Sweet Tea. It's not my fault that my parents thought it would be "fun" to send me and my brother to Colorado." Her Southern accent became pronounced, when she talked about her home town. She kissed Michael's cheek, making him blush deeper.

"You-" I said, but I was cut off by Bethany Ann's voice. I made sure that I could hear what she was saying, using my wolf hearing. I wanted to know what she was saying, because she was my mate, and I wanted to get to know her.

"No, you shouldn't do it," she said. "It'll be hard to tell the person that you are married to that you did... you know."

What the hell was she talking about?
