Chapter 7

Dante's POV

“Mate! Mate!” My wolf, Bolt whispered to me silently but urging me at the same time.

What? What the heck was Bolt talking about. I tried to ignore it, because it is obviously not possible, I am far away from werewolfs and I don't remember hearing about any hidden packs around here, werewolf packs don't like to hide, they make themselves known, But the force of Bolt urging me on was unbearable, so I quickened my steps, it looked like I needed to be quick, as I entered in to the almost silent room, the darkness of it first engulfed me, but it felt good that Bolt has not deserted me completely, I became quickly accustomed to the darkness, I heard a voice pleading and then silent before I finally saw the girl laying on the floor and a man who could be no more than fourty five years old was over her and trying to get something off her body, why was she not fighting back, I wanted to shout at her and shake her back to reality but it was not my place, and I didn't think it should bother me so much, but I was there anyway, there is absolutely nothing else I can do except to listen to Bolt and get the intruder away from her, and truth be told I am more interested to know how she can speak to me with her mind.

I moved closer, trying not to alert the both of them of my presence

As we got closer, Bolt’s voice became very clear and he was still repeating the same damn thing! “Mate! Mate!”

“Oh goodness Bolt, I am not in for your freaking jokes, don't make me turn back”

“No, we have to save our mate!” He said again, sure this time and consistent as if my thoughts don't matter.

“Damn you!” This was not what I signed for when I came to the country or even the community, and if Bolt was saying this, then there is no lie in it! But how can I come here to face the one thing I have been trying to run away from, in an unexpected place. And in a human! Oh shit! Me finding my mate here and in a delicate creature is beyond me.

I was angry, this was not what I planned for, this is beyond my thinking! I just felt like my whole world became scattered and disorganized.

This whole thing would not have been known to me if the intruder didn't exist, or perhaps if his plans didn't exist in the first place! No Damn it! Everything would not have happened if I didn't come there at all. At least then I would not be a part of this situation at this time.

I didn't wait for any explanation, I went close to them, dragged the man off of her and snapped his neck from his body, there was no way he would survive that...

...Bolt! That was his doing, I usually think about things before I do them, Bolt doesn't, he believes the longer you think, the more hesitant you would be. Even if I am not an hesitant person, there are some things I still would like to think about before doing them, and this would have been one of them.

“What are you doing here” The girl still in shock looked up at me and asked the most ridiculous question! Is she not supposed to be happy that someone has come to her aid, she should thank me till her knees drop. I looked at her very well now, It was the girl from this morning, What kind of sorcery is this! I met her this morning, how come I didn't find out about this. The moon goddess must be having fun playing with me.

“I have no idea Dante, I have no idea. But we must protect her” Bolt replied to my thoughts.

I looked around trying to find the grandma, I could sense three people, but I was only seeing two, and one of them is dead on front of me.

“Come, let's get you up” But she pointed to where her grandmother was, she was badly injured, and for an old human, it might not be appealing to bear the pain, and from the looks of it she was passed out, but she will survive.

I carried the girl up, as she was not able to stand by herself and wanted her to get something to least cover the nakedness of her body, so I gave her my shirt, But then, she hit me with the most pleasant scent I have ever breath in my entire existence. Damn!

She was not going to allow me carry her to a safe place, she was more worried about her grandmother, so helped her sit and went to the grandmother, she would need a really huge caring and a lot of treatment for her to heal in the next couple of weeks.

She could not understand the fact that I had heard her thoughts and her cry for help but I would rather not explain, explaining to a human would be a total waste of time. She would not believe it anyway.

“Who was that man? What business did he have with you?” I will ask the questions.

“I have no idea, I thought perhaps he was just going to steal something and find his way out, but he had something else in mind. And... To... Think my grandma was almost killed is unimaginable, what would I do if something he's happened to her? She is okay right?” She was crying, how am I supposed to console a crying girl. She was not even worried about herself, seeing her worry about her grandmother hit straight home, only if I had this kind of love from my own family, instead of allowing me to leave my pack shamefully, they should have stood their ground and fought for their remaining son. . .Maybe a part of them thinks I did it, they might still think it was all a mistake and that I would not deliberately kill my brother, but it would be hard for them to believe I was not the one holding the gun, that I didn't even touch the gun at all, or that I had not put bullets in the gun, but who defend me? The gun was mine, everyone knew it. The only other person present that day was my ex fiance, whom I found banging my brother on our bed, she was the only one who was present and could have told the truth but how could she choose her shame over my innocence, how could she not say a word about what happened that day. Since then and even before I left the pack, I have not set my eyes on hers since the whole thing happened. Even if it would be out of the respect she had for me, if not love... She should have said something, maybe that something would have helped me mourn my brother very well, with my family with me, maybe that something would have prevented me from losing everything that was ever important to me.My life, my family, my innocence and my title.

If only there could be a love as these two women shared, who only had each other to depend on.

I passed her my handkerchief “I don't think it's safe for you and your grandmother to stay here until you know who that person was and if there are more coming”

“Uh.. U hm.. No, we will be fine here, he did not sound like someone sent him not do we have anyone to be afraid of in particular, so I don't think there should be any other issue. I will report this to the police and maybe they will find out who he is”

“I am sorry, I can not let you do that”

“Why not? That's the best way. What am I suppose to do with a dead man our my living room” she looked at me shocked with eyebrows almost joining together and I liked the look on her face.

“I will take care of that. What you should be worried about is what the police will say about having a dead man in your house in the first place. Who are you going to say killed him?” I knew this was going to be a mistake. Bolt! Do you see what's happening? I said, communicating with my wolf, he pushed me to kill the man in the first place.

“I see it, and you are going to handle it, that's why we are here to protect her from all harm, especially this”

“But I didn't sign up for this, I didn't bring myself into this house” I communicated back. “This is why I do not like putting myself in human’s business”

“This is different. This is our mate”

“I will take care of the body, and everything that comes after! You do not tell anyone about this, especially the cops” I said to her, and it seems she was relieved that I was going to take care of the body.

“Can you walk?”

“I think so” she stood up and she was better than before.

“I will carry your grandmother, and you will follow behind me”

“What? Why? I told you that we will be okay here. You said you will taken care of his body, what more should we be afraid of?”

“Until I am sure that I don't need to run from my house again at your expense, you will stay at my house, is I think everything is quite alright then you and your grandmother can come back to your house, that's okay, but before then you will come with me”

“I don’t understand why you are doing this when you don't really need to”

“I don't understand either” all through this time, I practically could not take my eyes off her, I felt like the hotness of my blood was going to pop out my veins knowing fully well that she had nothing under the towel and my shirt, it was driving me freaking crazy.

“Wait, I need to call me friend, i don't want her coming here to meet all this mess” she said, looked at me and explained further “We were supposed to meet this evening, is she is not able to reach me, she will defiinitely be here. I just need to call her and tell her what happened”

“Yeah, that should not be a problem” She started to make her way up the stairs when I held her back “ Use the one in my house, I will get you everything you need tomorrow” For someone who said he would not mind the humans’ business, I was deep onto it.

And thank goodness she didn't argue anymore.

I carried her grandmother and headed towards my house and all through the short journey back, I was wondering if I did good by listening to Bolt. He would be the death of me!

“But what about your family? Would they not be worried that you are bringing in a stranger into the house?” I was not expecting that question.

“What family?”

“Your wife and kids?”

I could not help but laugh “I'm sorry to disappoint you love, I do not have any family, I stay all by myself”
