The White Wolf

Chapter 8

        I woke up in a strange place. "Where am I?" i asked myself. I noticed movement in the corner of my eye and whipped my head around. When i saw Alec standing there all of the memories from the night before came flooding back. I instantly cowered away from him. He frantically tried to explain himself but I wasn't listening. All I could think about was how my mate literally and figuratively stabbed me in the back.

         "Baby? Baby? look at me please I only have a few minutes to explain."

         Were the words that broke me out of my thoughts. "What's left to explain you obviously never loved or even liked me."

        "No,no,no baby I did this for you, for us."

        "How? How did you do any of this for us?" I said with tears welling up in my eyes 

        "James and your father said if I didn't do this then they kill you slowly and make me watch and I couldn't bare the thought of living a life without you. I would rather them not kill you because without you in my life it would have no meaning." He said, his voice quivering.

        I stared at him with silent tears streaming down my face. Before I got to say something James walked in and Alec instantly moved away from me. As soon as he was away from me I missed the warmth that accompanied him. James got closer and closer and I felt a cold breeze accompany him. I don't know if it's a coincidence or if it was really him but it sent chills up and down my spine.

        "Hi darling." I didn't want him calling me that and apparently niether did Alec because I heard a low growl coming from the direction of Alec. I inwardly smiled at the fact that my mate was so protective of me. But unlike me James wasn't so happy because as soon as James heard Alec's growl, Alec was pinned up against the wall by his throat. Seeing my mate being threatened by the man I hate just as much as my father made something inside me snap. Instead of cowering away I shifted. I swear if he puts his hands on my mate again I'll kill him. James turned around very slowly knowing that I was crouched and ready to tear his throat out. I made eye contact with him and shock was all that registered.

         "A white wolf? You're a white wolf? I can't believe this. My future wife and Luna is more valuable than I could have ever imagined. No one has seen or heard of a white wolf for centuries."

         Before he could start his next sentence I pounced on him. I snarled and lookeed him dead in the eye. From what could I see in his eyes he was both afraid and admiring me. The admiration kinda creeped me out a little bit. Okay... a lot. But I didn't let up I stood there snarling in his face until my mate had enough time to recover. Alec stood up and immediately shifted. WIth my mate standing by my side I felt unstoppable. My white wolf looked small compared to my mate. But we complimented each other. I slowlystepped off of James. James was quickly on his feet and shifted into his horrendous mud brown wolf. James' wolf had bald patches of scar tissue were it was impossible for his fur to grow back from injuries. I wish that Alec and I could mind link because I just wanted to leave but he had other things in mind. He quickly pounced on James and clamped down on James' throat. I saw the blood quickly spurt and gush out of James's neck. I instantly looked away. He made sure James was dead before turning to me and whimpering like a puppy. I turned my head and tipped motioning for him to follow me. After we were out of the underground bunker James had me in, I took off at a blazing speed I could hear Alec's pounding foot falls behind me. I went to the only place I thought was safe, the waterfall.

        Once I reached the waterfall I shifted and put clothes I had stashed in a tree, on. I sighed staring at the beautiful waterfall. I finally heard Alec and turned around. He had taken his clothes off at the bunker and put them in his mouth so he would have something to wear.he had his head down. He looked so ashamed of what he had done. I walked up to him and put my arms around him. I don't think that was what he was expecting me to do because he stood there in shock for a moment before he put his arms around me. I sighed heavily thinking about what to say to him but right now I just wanted to enjoy the feeling that accompanied his arms. I realuctantly pullled away and looked at him.
