Werewolf Destiny Page 4

  The loud sigh of Trein woke up a few night birds, which unhappy to fly from a nearby branch. Amanda was so scared by this sound that instead of grabbing Withell's helpful arm, she tripped over a protruding root and once again collapsed like a long one to the ground.

  - You could have kept your dignity and accepted my help," he muttered, pulling the girl up despite her loud protests. - Unless it was an encouragement for closer physical contact.

  He smiled in this way, which she hated most of all his cynical smiles.

  - Why did you bring me here? - with a sluggishness, she followed the werewolf, who, not threatened by her companion's complains, continued her journey, not caring about a completely silent knocking on the leaves, which predicted the inevitable rain.

  - You are even worse than your sadistic brother," she noted, but it did not make any impression on him.

  He has already heard it somewhere.

  - Be happy that you are not yet pregnant," he joked, pleased to note that they are already close to their goal. - If it were up to me, you would already be.

  - If it was up to me, you wouldn't have anything to do with the children, because I would have ripped it off a long time ago - growl, stopping violently behind the boy's back. - What now?

  - I found this place - he proudly unloaded his breast, satisfied with himself as never before. - Now we will see what you are hiding there under your skirt.

  - You are perverted and abnormal - she sighed resigned. - Besides, I'm wearing pants now, as if you hadn't noticed.

  - Lala, it's just a saying - he giggles - loosen your thong.

  The girl gave him an annoying look.

  - How did you become an alpha at all? - She whispered to herself, not expecting an answer, but Trein answered anyway.

  - His parents suspected that Jasper would not be as eager to extend the line of our noble lineage as I am," he confessed, gliding down her back with a challenging hand.

  She pushed him away upset.

  - The idiot - she burst into the outsider, moving away to the clearing and leaving the amused boy behind.

  - Honey, it's only a matter of time before you wriggle beneath me out of pleasure," he joked, for which he was solidly shoved in the head.

  - Please, spare me your stupidity and just disappear - she fucks, looking around a completely ordinary piece of forest, which differed from the rest only because there were far fewer trees growing there.

  She saw nothing unusual about it.

  Meanwhile, Trein squinted and gave her an ominous look, which she could not see with her human eye. It did not promise anything good, which she found out a moment later.

  - Very willingly, luno - he pissed and before Amanda realized the situation, he was gone.

  - Oh, shit - she purrred, realizing that a warm bed in her new room was not such a bad idea.

  She carefully looked around the clearing, trying to stay calm, but the lack of any living soul next to her slowly led her to a very real horror.

  - Trein? - Having made sure that her companion really left her alone in the middle of a dark forest, she slowly set off on her way back.

  She had no complete idea which way she came here at all and which way she should come back, but she decided to try.

  Anyway, she had no other choice but to do so seemed logical and reasonable to her.

  - Damn werewolves - she repeated like a mantra, in the blink of an eye, tearing through the trees.

  ●●●

  She had the impression that a good few hours had passed and she was definitely worried that nobody interested in her disappearance.

  Of course, she did not have it against any of Withell's dogs, but the intended one could show at least a little interest in the fate of his partner.

  Her knees and hands were broken, scratched and torn in every possible place. She was hurt literally everything, and as if it wasn't enough, it had been pouring like an onion for several minutes.

  Her clothes were soaked to such an extent that she wondered several times seriously whether to undress into her underwear. She found that it would be much warmer for her then than in her still wet pants and T-shirt. However, she was afraid to meet an accidental man who might experience a shock on her almost naked look.

  - This is not really happening - she honed her teeth, trying to hide under a fairly large chestnut.

  She had the impression that it was raining less abundantly there.

  It would be a dream come true to find something in this wilderness where you could dry yourself off and hide. She did not count on either one or the other.

  - It is difficult, I will wait here until it stops raining - it rolled up into a tight ball and squeezed as much as possible between the large branches of the tree.

  She would never even suspect that she could sleep in such a place, but fatigue won over common sense.

  Perhaps she was swayed by the moderate tapping of the rain on the leaves, and perhaps by the indomitable talent of the one who was watching over her all the time.

  The rain stopped raining a long time ago, and Amanda, unaware of the fact that a whole pack of cotton wool was looking for her, slept well on.

  Maybe she would have a chance to wake up if someone did not care about her well-being and sweet unconsciousness.

  The girl did not know that the mysterious guardian had saved her life for the second time, and the debt of gratitude continued to grow. Besides, the guardian was in no hurry to take back her property. He wanted everything to go on the natural course. Although he was mad at his brother, a moron idiot, but there will still be an opportunity to give him a solid demonstration of manners and teach him respect for women.

  He smoothed Amanda's sleeping cheek, saddened by looking at her bruises and scratches. He had difficulty in refraining from healing these wounds, but decided that if Jasper had been nervous about being a walking hero and being able to take care of his own, it would probably not be a big problem for him to heal his partner.

  He spent a lot of time with the brunette, although most of him was not entirely aware of it and knew that the prince could not deal with such a trivial problem. She had already built a solid wall around her, which would turn into an invincible fortress after this event.

  If the werewolves had at least a bit of reason, maybe the alpha would understand that the partner should be his eye in the head, not a decoration at banquets and a free sacrifice, fulfilling all his orders.

  Besides, he was unnecessarily worried about such things. No cure has yet been invented for idiocy, so both Withels' disease was incurable.

  - Soon you will forget about them - he sighed quietly, the last time he looked at the client.

  They remembered, so he had to flee. This time, however, the smell will remain and Jasper will immediately realize that the main enemy has long been acting.

  He was curious what a werewolf would do to protect his property. He had an irresistible impression that this would have a very negative impact on Amanda, who would not obey the will of the new owner.

  The owner's word itself was disgusting, but he swallowed it with the idea that thanks to the prince's too sure approach to the matter, he would gain a decisive advantage.

  Actually, he already had it, but the more, the better.

  - See you later, Hale - he kissed the still sleeping girl on the forehead and fled, leaving her for the werewolves.

  With the sunrise, Withell appeared, looking with disgust at his soaked, frozen, and battered destiny.

  He wrinkled his nose, realizing that her scent intertwines with the one he hated above all else.

  - Sneaky vampire - burked, taking Amanda in his arms.

  She was still sleeping, but he knew it was because of the intruder's magical skills. He hoped that he had limited himself to this and hadn't touched his partner, who would now be contaminated by someone who, in pure line, came from a vampire king hated by the whole clan.

  - And that's a surprise - Trein came out of a series of worried wolves who were snooping a
round the tree where the brunette spent the night. - Our little sleeping queen found herself.

  Jasper was yawning at his brother, pissed off by his complete ignorance of the whole situation.

  - For the next offence, I will be forced to cut you off from the herd," he announced threateningly, letting him know that he knows everything. - I don't know what you're playing at, but it's starting to annoy me.

  The Trey has provocatively touched the shoulders.

  - I don't do anything that our multi-generational tradition wouldn't require - he snorted disrespectfully. - I don't consider this bite to be a lazybones, and if you want it to change, make it fully dependent on you.

  Elder Withell shouted at the younger one. He did not intend to listen to sermons from a werewolf who had spent his whole life staring out the window and had never done anything useful to the wolf community.

  - It is not for you to decide what to do - he pressed Amanda harder to himself.

  - Come on - Trein was hitting him in the shoulder by a friendly way. - If it wasn't for my involvement, you wouldn't even know that your opponent is playing on your nose.

  - If you force me to do so, I will call a meeting and the main topic will be to remove you from the position of the second alpha - Jasper passed his brother and gave orders to his subordinates, disappeared between the trees.

  Trein saw his brother in such a state for the first time and for the first time he was really scared. Everything seemed to indicate that the bond had taken control of him a long time ago, although he told himself that he only cares about what belongs to him.

  - Beautifully - he purrred, turning to the deltas that were looking for vampire traces.

  He knew that they would not find anything anyway. The enemy was too clever to leave behind anything more than a smell. Anyway, he did not do it by accident. It was a clear warning that the game had just begun.

  ●●●

  Amanda woke up a few hours later, sleepy and not quite remembering what actually happened.

  The first thing she saw was Jasper's face, on which there was a visible relief.

  - I'm glad that you finally woke up - he got on a gentle smile. - We were worried about you.

  - About me? - Somewhere around her heart she felt warmth, but this feeling disappeared quickly.

  - What shot in your head to go to the forest alone at night? - The artificial smile disappeared, and was replaced by this well-known raw word.

  - Ask your brother - she fucks, turning the other way around. - He dragged me there by force, and you still make an idiot out of me and pretend you had no idea. Fuck you.

  - We'll either talk more politely or we'll start talking differently," he growled, annoyed by Amanda's childish behavior. - How about your memory?

  - Give me a break - she put a pillow on her head, completely ignoring the person sitting next to her.

  - The last warning, Hale - he didn't mean to mess with her. - You're finally going to start behaving properly for your age, are you still going to play the puffed-up six-year-old princess?

  Outraged brunette broke off from her bed and moved to the bathroom with a lively step.

  - And you? - she stopped at the door and gave him an angry look. - When will you finally stop pretending to be stupider than taller?

  Withell stood up and moved towards her, but she slammed the door in front of his nose.

  - You are hopeless! - She screamed. - I am not going to stay here anyway, so get lost! I don't give a damn about those mongrels you made a group of mutual adoration. You can forget that this will ever change.

  The werewolf sighed resigned and leaned against the white wood, trying to keep the rest of the peace.

  - You play with fire, Hale whispered. - I am on the verge of endurance, and the thin line holding me in mind can be broken at any time.

  - You know where I have it? - It snorted warily. - I'd love to tell you, but my parents raised me.

  - I doubt it, Amando," he replied venomously. - No one would want to have such a daughter.

  - Fuck you.

  Chapter VII

  Jasper was impassioned at the door, wondering how much of his patience really limits.

  Hale certainly exceeded a dozen or so and he still did not apply the final punishment, although at first he was convinced that he would do it without hesitation.

  He combed light hair with his hand.

  - Are you going to sit in this bathroom for long? - He asked and, as expected, received no answer.

  The girl decided not to speak for some reason. The problem was that Withell was really losing control of himself and was not sure why the door separating him from his offended partner was still in one piece.

  - Hale, I asked you a question - in his voice there was a steel note, which was the final attempt to force the brunette to answer.

  - Leave me alone! - She screamed, which was a nice change for the silence he had been anxiously listening to for an hour.

  Of course, he wasn't worried about Amanda's condition, but if she decided to do something to herself, she would certainly make a mess, and in addition he would have to bring a doctor and be ashamed of the lack of respect that a girl should give him.

  - I let you sit there as much as you wanted to - he got frustrated - and now get out before I force you to.

  He breathed deeply, getting up from the floor and with relief straightening the bones.

  - You have no right to command me! - He had to admit that she appeared brave and impressed him, but in the end he did not intend to endure it any longer.

  - Amando, get out of the bathroom immediately - he squinted, without even putting any special effort into it. - I will not repeat myself again.

  He knew perfectly well that the future maiden will always be subjected to him, because he bit her. Besides, he was in a higher position, which strengthened this bond considerably.

  She left; crying, wet and shivering with cold.

  - Can you tell me why you were taking an icy shower? - he really couldn't understand the limitless stupidity of this miserable creature. - You know we have hot water too, right?

  The look she sent him was several degrees cooler than her body.

  - Not your fucking business! - She moved away from him and instead of going to bed as he assumed she would do, she started jerking off with the door from the balcony.

  He really couldn't believe this miserable image of poverty and despair, and he had no idea what the girl was trying to achieve with her behavior.

  - They are locked - he made her aware of what she was crazy about.

  - I hate you! - She screamed again, and he finally came to the conclusion that after a night in the forest she had become mentally ill.

  He did not see any other logical explanation.

  He approached her, gently grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him. He saw his reflection in the darkened irises, which he liked very much. Luna should look at her Lord with admiration and submissiveness, which of course he did not count on in this case, but he could afford such abstract notions.

  - What's happening, Amanda? - He deliberately used his name, not his surname, as he used to do.

  He wanted her to feel more comfortable, which he did not particularly manage to achieve.

  - Get away from me - she sighed, losing the desire for further manifestations of aggression. - Get out and it is best never to come back.

  He laughed sinisterly, but did not let go of himself. The other hand wrapped around her waist, rapidly attracting a brunette to her carved torso.

  - You belong to me - he whispered in her ear. - Have you forgotten?

  She hit him hard in the arm, but did not even feel it. He was entertained by the girl's growing annoyance and enjoyed the darkening emerald of her eyes with every moment. Besides, she was so delightfully warm and nice to the touch. The very possibility of keeping her so close to each other was an extremely pleasant experience. He definitely wanted more.

  - Take those dirty paws, stupid dog! - She wa
nted to be vulgar, but it was clear that she did not use such words often.

  In her mouth they sounded strangely strange. She admitted it to herself.

  - The tongue, darling - he warned her, which was slowly becoming a habit. - I don't like your limited culture.

  - I don't give a shit what you like - she was growling dangerously, still trying to get out of his arms. - And let me go, damn it!

  He did not want to be the monster she thought he was, but he had no choice.

  - One more unpleasant word, Hale, and I'll take you personally to your friend," he sighed, almost crushing her in his arms.

  She blinked several times, surprised by such a turn of events.

  - To Dagmar? - She asked in disbelief, what now surprised him for a change.

  He couldn't believe that the girl wasn't afraid to spend the night in dungeons and in a residence full of werewolves. Of course, no one will touch her, because the marking will clearly discourage everyone. However, he still looked at his partner intrigued.

  - Yes, to Dagmar," he confirmed, and she radiated happily to send him a murderous look after a while.

  - I would rather spend my whole life with her in dungeons than spend one day in a common room with you - she was growling, jerking forward rapidly.

  He let her go, wondering how to use it against her.

  - Okay, it will be just the way you want it to be - he pissed and let go of Amanda, who fell on the window, not expecting such a move from Jasper. - You have five minutes to pack up.

  He left the room, closing the door behind him.

  Hale could not directly believe in her own happiness. She didn't want anything so much as to check if her roommate was all right, and if she did, they would both lose their noses.

  She had no intention of letting anyone treat her like that, let alone her loved ones.

  Amanda did not intend to pack.

  She did not treat this as a few days' trip, but as a chance to escape. Maybe she should keep up appearances, but she didn't care what Jasper thought of her.

  She would most willingly not watch it at all. Someone else could take her to the Main House and take her to Dagmar. She was quietly counting on it, but a firm voice from behind the door dispelled those vile dreams.
