Chapter 10: Insane Ani

Chapter 10: Insane Ani

Ari's POV 

"I am cold" Aniston told me and started rubbing her palms together to stay warm.

"And whose fault is that?" I started walking up the hill to get back to my car. "Come on, you can change into my dry shirt"

 We started walking to the car when she spoke.

"Why did your brother run away?" 

"To find Bella…his mate" 

What was the point of trying to deny I was a werewolf? 

Aniston was one too. I can smell it.

"I am sensing there is a story" she said.

"Storm rejected her" I made it simple.

"Why? Because she wasn't perfect and he wanted perfect?"

She seemed pissed.

"No. On the contrary, he has been in love with Bella since he turned fourteen years old and found out he could grow pubic hair" I told her bluntly.

"Gross" Aniston murmured and I hoped It was because I said pubic hair not that my brother was in love with his mate. "If he loved her, then why let her go?"

"Because my parents thought she was beneath him and threatened to throw her and her family out of the pack if he acknowledge the bond between them and so, he rejected her…and she left anyway"

I watched Aniston's reaction. She blinked and she blinked again.

"So, your brother is a wuss" She said in a serious tone.

"He was trying to save her life and her family's" I tried to explain.

"No. He took the easiest option. Your brother is a coward" she yelled. 

Now, she was pissing me off!

"What was he supposed to do?" I asked her.

"I don't know. Maybe stand by his chosen one! Maybe they leave the pack and start over somewhere else! Maybe he keep his D*ck out of her twin sister! He had a thousand and one thing to do but he chose to be evil"

It was my turn to blink and look at her blankly.

"Bella doesn't have a twin sis….oh, I get it now you are talking about you, selfish much?" 

I asked her and continued walking. Aniston followed me closely.

"Oh thank God, there is your car" 

Aniston pointed at the Aston Martin like I didn't have eyes to see for myself.

When we got there, she opened the door and popped the trunk of the car while I stood there and stared at her in surprise.

"You didn't lock the car doors? What are you, stupid? This is an Aston Martin Car, it's a rare vintage and you left the freaking doors open!" 

"Dude, chill! Whoa, I found your duffel. I am taking your shirt and shorts. I am going to change here, while you go somewhere else to change…and no peeping!" 

"You don't interest me, Aniston. I prefer my woman…sane, so, don't flatter yourself" I went closer to the trunk and took some clean clothes and off I went to the nearby woods to change but when I came back, Aniston was standing by the bridge…. again.

"What the f*ck?!"

"It's not what you think…I wasn't trying to jump or anything, I came to pick up my slippers and I bent over to catch a glimpse of the river when I…. please, don't be mad" Aniston had a frown on her face and she was clutching her bosom.

It took a while but I came to a realization of what was playing out in front of me.

"A-aniston, where is my father's key?" I asked her in a low voice. "Where is the key?!" I yelled this time.

"Oops, I swear to our goddess, I didn't mean to but your shirt is way too big on me and the key just slipped from my bra into…into the…" her voice trailed off.

"Into where?" I asked her.

"Into…there" Aniston pointed at the river.

I blinked.

Please, let this be a joke! I prayed silently in my head.

"You did what?" I asked her.

"Sorry, Ari. It wasn't intentional" 

"I feel so much better" I told her sarcastically "This is what is going to happen. You are coming with me back to the bayblue pack to explain to my father how you lost his keys and if he needs something to punch afterwards, you are going to offer yourself up to him to use as a punching bag. Do we have an understanding? Good, come on let go" I pointed at the car but Aniston took a step back.

"Yeah, I am not going to do that" Aniston said

"It's not a suggestion, I said get into the car…"

 I hardly finished talking when she took off running into the woods nearby and I clenched my fist.

I do not have time for this…I really didn't but I wasn't going back to my father who had a thing for knocking people unconscious…without his keys or Aniston to punish.

I went back to my truck and I took out the rope inside it and I went after her. One way or another she was coming with me.

Aniston was halfway to the entrance of the woods when she noticed that she wasn't alone, I was behind her. Her hair slowly slipped from the loose hair band and fell all over her face.

 Then she entered the part of the woods that looked darker with taller trees and more hidden parts. If I let her disappear in this part of the woods then she would be truly free and I would be screwed.

So, instead of simply following behind in a non threatening manner, I placed some energy in my pursuit.

My patience soon wore thin when she entered the dangerous part of the wood that was filled with snakes and other vile creatures that would most likely want a bite.

Catching up to her wasn't as difficult as she thought it would be.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

"I will as soon as you explain to my Dad what happened to his keys" I told her.

She tried to break free but I took the rope and I bound her hands and feet and I got her to look at me.

"I do not have time for this! I do not have time for you! So, be quiet and we are taking a trip to the palace to get my brother back and if you insist on giving me a headache, I will place a duct tape on your mouth"
