Stuck Between Two Alpha Brothers

I trudged along the hills, my every breath getting labored after the next. I pulled out my cell phone and tried powering it on but the screen stayed blank, I sighed. No battery life left, my backpack felt heavy on my back and for a moment I considered dropping it but I breathe in deep and tried gathering strength.

‘Come on Reyna, you can do this ‘ I said to my self and took a step forward and grinned when I saw civilization. I put more spring to my steps and hurried down the hills shouldering my backpack carefully not to let it slip off my tired shoulder. The sky rumbled and lightning flashed in the sky.

‘Please don’t rain’ I begged the universe, but it seemed the universe was in no mood for prayers because as soon as I said that in my head, the rain poured heavily without warning and in seconds I was as drenched as a sewage pipe rat. I managed to reach the restaurant and I rushed in soaking wet, the restaurant was devoid of customers and I thanked the universe again. A waiter placed a menu and I ordered and sat waiting, he served me hot scalding tea and without hesitation I downed it in one gulp. The rain continued pouring harder and I sighed as I drank the last of my tea. I couldn’t stop now, this was my third day roaming after my own father had sent me away for being “useless” as he put it. I dropped the empty ceramic cup and got to my feet and headed out of the restaurant, the rain poured harder and I stepped inside it, pulling my sweater around me. From the corner of my eye, I could make out five huge men stalking me as I turned one swung a club, my reflexes kicked in and I dodged. Another backhanded me and I went flying but as he came again, I tripped him and slammed my fist into another face. I didn’t turn in time to see one raising a club and he whacked me in the back with it, I collapsed to the floor

“We are gonna take you things and do as we like with you, pretty……” his voice was cut short as a blur went past and his head flew from his body, the other dudes stared in shock then from the shadows a tall very handsome roguish looking man emerged from the dark and he scowled.

“You shouldn’t be attacking a lone lady” he said, his voice was dangerously deep and ice cold and it gave me chills. These guys obviously knew him because they literally trembled.

“We didn’t think off that” one said and stepped back. “Please forgive us” he begged but the stranger only smiled, a dangerous smile and he stepped closer and in the blink of an eye extended his claws and stabbed them in the heart and they slumped to the floor unconscious, the rest tried to run but he whipped out a gun and shot them both in the head, he turned back to me and I cringed.

“You are okay?” He asked nonchalantly as if he didn’t really care that I was, he pulled out a small bottle of brandy and opened the lid and drank, he offered me to drink but I shook my head.

“Am I free to go” I asked and he stared at me for a while then he burst into laughter and shook his head.

“Free to go? So this fellas can catch you again” he grinned then he scowled immediately, “Nope, you are coming me with me” he said and I backed away.

“No” I said and he turned sharply. His green eyes looked like marble.

“No?” He said dangerously and I backed away until my back was to the wall.

“How can I trust you?” I said and he tilted his head and threw away the now-empty brandy bottle.

“You can’t trust me” he replied honestly, “So it’s better you come with me or I knock you out and carry you myself, you don’t want that do you” he said and stared at the sky that threatened to pour out more rain.

“Why?” I asked and he pushed back his long dark hair.

“You are a fucking lone werewolf, you can’t survive” he said and I narrowed my eyes.

“How do you know that I am a werewolf” I asked and he scoffed.

“I can literally smell it in you, stupid. Now if you don’t mind let’s go before I knock you out” he grabbed my arm and pulled me forcing me to follow he stopped in front of a car and roughly pushed me to the other car door.

“Get in” he said and I slipped in the back.

“Where are we going?” I asked and he started the engine.

“Home” he said and the car lurched forward.

The stranger pulled up in a beside a large grey house and he came down, he didn’t even make any move to open the door for me, the door opened and from the house emerged another dark haired guy who looked somewhat like him, I guess they must be brothers.

“Jake, where are you manners. You should have opened the door for her” he said and help me opened the door, he smiled at me.

“Pardon my brother, he is a bit rash sometimes” he said and Jake turned he smiled slowly.

“A bit rash? No John. I am rash” he said and smiled and walked off. I stared at John and offered a smile.

“Thank you” I said and he nodded, he took the backpack from me and slipped it on his shoulders.

“Come in, Selena was just whipping up something when you came” he said and walked in. I stopped in front of the house and looked around for a second and sighed. Here I was entering another pack again, hope I feel at home here and hope the pack members were as nice as John.

Let’s do this Reyna

I took in a deep breath and walked in
