Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Danger
I couldn't believe my eyes. I finally saw her. Is the goddess giving me my mate after all this time. But she gave me my mate in the worst time though. A war is brewing and it's something that could be harmful. I felt the blazing eyes of someone and then I looked forward. There in a black van were men. They had the hunter tattoo on their neck. It made me angry but I needed to stay calm. They know what I am. They are ignorant type of hunters. Even their tattoos are being shown as examples of gang groups. I ignored their blazing eyes as I followed Ashton. Ashton had parked the car a bit far as he needed to stop at a store for his mate.
It took us a while to reach there so it was a bit far. The vehicle must be near there so at least we don't have to walk back to the car. As Ashton got into the store I had stayed looking at videos on my phone. My mind wouldn't stop reminding me about my beautiful mate. My heart felt broken for a moment. So I looked around. Why does my heart feel heavy. The wind smacks my face basically and the scent of my beautiful mate hits my nose. I looked to the left. There's a light there and walking path also. But the moment I saw her. She was crying. Barely looking around. I noticed the black van staring at her. Grinning.
My body took it's chance and I jolted forward.
"Alpha?" I hear Ashton whisper out
I ignored him as I noticed the black van speed up and I noticed the door slightly open. Do they now shes my mate? How? Or are they kidnapping woman? I outstretched my hand and grabbed a hold of my mate by her waist. They barked their horn at us basically. A few gasped and other just rolled their eyes. I held on to her with all my life basically. I wrapped my arms around her body. The best sensation of my life. The tips of my fingers were gracing her skin. It feels so soft. I can't believe I bump into her again. Well basically saved her. I wouldn't care about giving my life to save her. My mate. My beautiful mate. We looked at each other and she was blushing darkly.
Her beautiful eyes. I felt hypnotized. I didn't want to leave from this spot. All I can do is hold her a bit tightly. I felt people near me but when they all saw she's ok nobody called an ambulance.
"Alpha?" Ashton calls out basically
"Ashton!" I snapped at Ashton he has to remember that in the human presence it's Luke not Alpha
"H-Hey..." my mate complains a little
My inner wolf whined and I got worried so I quickly apologized "Oh am sorry..."
I wanted to move my fingers and keep touching her skin but I have to control myself. I take in a slow breath and just relaxed a bit. But I just don't want to let her go. Not yet. I glanced at Ashton who was basically blaring at me. Through mind link he had spoken 'Alpha your eyes!' I blinked a bit as I didn't fully calm down.
"Ashton I apologize but this young lady almost got hit by a car..." I try to distract myself
"Al- I mean Luke it was still dangerous... What would have happened if you had gotten hurt?" Ashton tries to defend
"I'll be alright... But I just thought in the moment" I spoke calmly I wouldn't have even cared my mate is my world
"Are you sure your ok?" she asked her melodic voice gave me the best sensation in my heart
But my canine wanted to come forth so I tensed up I thought about flowers and a rainy day and my body relaxed so I answered "Yeah am alright... Don't worry..."
I helped her a bit but held her against me. I didn't want to let her go. The sensation of her by my side is amazing. I noticed the black van by the corner. Watching us. I relaxed a bit. But I notify Ashton through mind link. 'Hunters... They almost kidnapped her...' Ashton tenses up as he has bad experience with hunters. So he responded back through mind link. 'Their back... I can't believe this...' I nod at him as we knew we have to notify this to the council and the King. Their doing something risky and it could harm a lot of wolves and humans. Maybe even other species.
So Ashton acts normal and I presume he is texting his mate. Maybe even giving her a heads up if those hunters ever show up at the pack without notifying or permission. These type of hunters are never welcomed. Not even the more relaxed hunters want them. As those calm hunters only want to protect the innocent from a wild werewolf going full bloodlust mode. So they basically eliminate dangerous werewolves. Their even dangerous for our kind also. So their doing a great job. Even if they don't like us but if we don't bother them they don't bother us. Peace was given to us with a treaty. But they have been dead silent. We'll also have to notify that.
"Luke you hungry?" Ashton asked as he glances at my mate for a quick second
I caught the hint and say "Yeah I am quite hungry... Should we go eat?"
"Am sorry... I should go..." she tries to leave
"Oh... Wouldn't you want something to eat... I know you almost ran over but your desert got ran over" I tells her as I pointed at her destroyed desert
She slumps a bit and it made me feel like it was my fault but she spoke "Oh I can't... You must be busy..."
"Oh I insist... Ashton here has been hungry and I accidentally ruined it... And your desert got ruined... Let's go and eat something good! My treat" I tell her with a smile
Her stomach rumbled and I just wanted to smile even wider so she spoke a bit embarrassed "If you insist"
Excitement washes over me as I've been wanting to hang out longer with my mate so I say "Alright then! Let's go!"
Ashton goes a head to get the vehicle. As me and my mate stayed in our silence. I looked at her a few times. I couldn't keep my eyes away from her beauty. I just want to pass my fingers through her hair. I just want to hold her tight against me. Give her millions of kisses. Spoil her how ever I want. I want her by my side ever single day. But I can't kidnap her as this human laws are so different. I can't reveal what I am and what we are destined to be. But then I remembered about my job. I still don't have a personal assistant. Though what we do is not obligated but we'll make it up as we go. So I quickly mind link Ashton. 'Is the personal assistant paper work in the seat?'
It took a bit so a car parks near us. Not my car. Ashton mind links me. 'Yes it's here... But it's not the contract though...' I felt a bit bummed so I responded to him. 'Alright then forget it... If we had the contract she could have been with me quickly' He parks the car and gets out. A little shimmer is hinted in his eyes. A plan is brewing in his mind. Am I regretting this decision? Maybe. I hear a screeching woman. I glanced to the side. A woman panicking. Trying to pass through a crowd. She must have lost her child in the crowd. I felt a push and I looked at my beautiful mate.
She must be really hungry. So she gets in the back seat while Ashton is in the driver's seat. I sit in the passenger seat. Ready to eat. The music is too low but I can still hear it. I would put music for her but I don't know what she likes. So I'll get to now her better. I looked at the mirror and I noticed her without a seat belt. My worried side screamed at me and it's making me tremble a bit.
I glanced at her and I tell her "Put on your seat belt... Safety first"
She relaxed and I just looked at the outside. Ashton mind links me. 'Texas Roadhouse?' I glanced at him at first but I looked outside again. So I responded through my mind link. 'Yeah... Meat is what I need right now' He accelerates first but I felt the eyes of my amazing mate. I just wanted to smile but I needed to relax a bit though. I don't want to scare her away. I heard my mate sigh out and I felt a bit worried.
"Is everything ok?" I asked her as I noticed her eye snap to my peripheral view
"Oh yeah... Just worried about my friend..." in a way I knew she was lying but I needed to accept it
"Everything will be ok in the end... So relax and enjoy the meal today!" I responded
It's the only way to respond because if I knew what was wrong I would have given a different answer but she doesn't trust me yet. So I just smiled gently and I looked forward.
How will this play out?
