The Undesirables

Chapter 12

Kenai had a tight hold on my wrist, dragging me inside. He hadn't said a word since the car ride. Rose went back to her room without a second glance. I could feel the anger radiating off Kenai. "Stop Kenai, you need to talk to me" I said and he ignored me, Pulling me up the stairs. I pulled my wrist out of his grasp, "what happened to you?! You need to shed some goddamn light because you abandoned me!" I shouted at him. He slammed me up against the wall, his eyes were black, his breath heaving. "Stop Leilani, fucking stop!" He said lowly. He grabbed my wrist again and pulled me into his room. He turned around and looked me up and down. "Can I help you?" I snapped. His eyes snapped to mine, his jaw clenching. "You're covered in blood, shower" he said and went to walk out the door. Anger spread through me, out of nowhere this fire burned. He abandoned me, his pack. Slept with other women then try and come home. My body acted on its own, I shoved him and I shoved him hard. He slammed up against the wall, I dashed out of the room. I didn't want to wait around to see what would happen. I jumped down the stairs and saw rose coming out of the kitchen. I grabbed her wrist and pulled her with me. "What the fuck, why are we running?!" She yelled as I dragged her out the door. "I pushed Kenai into a wall!" I called back and her eyes went wide. I let go of her wrist and she matched my speed. I heard Kenai roar with anger, he would be coming after me. Had I shoved the Kenai I once knew, he would have gotten sad and upset if I really meant it, would probably ask me why I did it. This Kenai, or whoever this man was, was unpredictable. We took a sharp left into the forest. Rose ushered me up one of the trees and quickly followed. We climbed high and sat up against the trunk on two different branches. "So..why.. the hell...did you shove him?" She questioned while trying to catch her breath. "I lost my cool with him, got angry" I said quietly and she nodded. "I've been there with him but never had the balls to shove him, you're one gutsy girl" Rose laughed and I smiled. "Are we staying the night in the tree?" She asked and I shrugged. "I guess so, he seems like his hormones are everywhere and I want to wait until he cools down" I said and she nodded. "That's smart".

I leaned my head back against the trunk, "what do you think the man who kidnapped us meant about the hellhounds or about his master?" Rose said, turning to look at me. "I have no idea, around the time Kenai left with our pack warriors, there were stories of these monsters killing innocent packs then they went silent and seemed to bubble back up a few weeks after I left my pack" I said and she raised an eyebrow. "That's weird" she said and crossed her arms. "This is gonna sound weird but I've seen Kenai in his office writing in this leather bound journal, we could try to get it" she whispered and I turned to look at her. "You're Just now mentioning this?" I asked and she smiled sheepishly. "The key to his office is on a chain around his neck unfortunately" she said and I groaned. "Fuck, okay I'll get it" I said and she nodded. "Let's try to sleep" I said and she smiled and closed her eyes. I looked around, no sign of Kenai. We were very high up in the tree, the forest cast off an eerie feeling. Very horror movie type, it sent shivers down my spine. I closed my eyes, letting myself start to drift off.

I woke with a start, something didn't seem right. The world was too silent. Not even the wind dared to make a sound. I looked around, nothing was in the trees. I scanned the ground and froze. I gently touched Rose's arm and she opened her eyes. I motioned does her to be quiet and pointed towards the ground. Not too far away stood a monster. A large black wolf, it stood on two long legs. It's claws were like a velociraptor's claws but longer, thicker, sharper. It's eyes black as night, much darker than Kenai's when he shifted. It stood at least 9ft tall. It's fangs like machetes. Pure evil radiated off of it and it was making no noise. Fear was pitted in my stomach, my hairs raising. I looked at Rose, her eyes were wide and watering. The monster just stood there. "What do we do?" She whispered, I shrugged. "We need to get back to the pack" I said lowly and she nodded. "I think it's a scout, I can't see any others" she said and I nodded. Suddenly it let out this..this roar. This deafening howl that shook the earth. I cried out and covered my ears. My head pounded and it felt like the wind got knocked out of me. I squeezed my eyes shut. It stopped, I opened my eyes to see the monster running away. We both dropped from the tree. "I've never heard a howl like that, no wolf has a painful fucking howl" Rose whimpered. "We need to get back now" I said and she nodded. We took off towards the pack, my head still hurting from the monster. We reached the pack houses incredibly fast, the sun was rising over the mountains. "I'm going to find the beta" Rose said and took off toward the pack house. I bolted toward Kenai's house, I burst in the door. "Kenai!" I yelled, nothing. I ran up the stairs and looked in his room, nobody. I checked the other guest rooms and downstairs. I opened the door to his office to see him sitting at his desk. "Kenai, there was, it was huge. It was in the forest" I breathed out. "I know" he said lowly. "What are we going to do about it?" I asked and he looked up at me, he was glaring. "You're going to do nothing" he said and stood. He had me up against the wall in a blink of an eye, his hand hard on my jaw. "Next time you shove me, stay and face me instead of running away like a pup" he growled in my ear. I stayed silent and rigid. "You deserved it" I said and his eyes hardened. "The hellhounds are attacking again and I know it has something to do with you" I snapped. "It doesn't matter right now" he breathed out. My eyes fluttered to the white gold chain around his neck. The key to his desk. "Okay" I said. He looked taken aback, if I was gonna get that key, I needed his trust. He took my wrist and led me to his room. "You should shower, you're covered in dirt" he said.
"Shower with me" I said. He turned, his eyes wide with confusion. I needed that key off his body. "You want me to shower with you?" He asked and I nodded. He raised an eyebrow, I took his hand and he followed me into the bathroom. I turned on the shower and slid off my shoes. I took off my pants and shirt, he just stood there staring at me. I looked him in the eye as I took off my underwear. He sucked in a sharp breath, his eyes darkening. "Jesus you're so slow, I assume you're not gonna shower with your clothes on" I said and he snapped back to reality. He quickly took off his clothes as I stepped into the foggy shower. The warmth felt good, I heard him climb in and slide the door shut. His body pressed up against mine. I turned to face him, he bit his lip and moved toward me. His lips catching mine. I wasn't sure how far this was going to go, majority of me wanted it to go all the way. To mate him, my wolf was howling with pleasure. In the end, I was getting that key no matter my feelings.
