Chapter 11

As I walk up to the tree where he is I can't help but to feel a bit nervous about asking him these questions.

As much as I don't really want to ask him for fear of the answers, I'm too curious to not ask them.

Once I get closer to him, he grins and waits for me. I understand why he waited in the bushes. He didn't want anyone to see him, I just wish he didn't have to hide.

" Hello Connor," I say.

" Hey amber." He says.

The second I stepped next to him, his arms wrapped around me in a small hug. His touch sends tingles through my skin. " I miss you, amber," he says.

I chuckle. " It's only been a day, but I can't complain, I missed you as well," I say with a grin.

" Good."

He lets go, but keeps hold of my hand. He leads me deep into the woods.

We go to a quiet spot in the woods. " This is where I've been sleeping every night," he says.

" Why here?" I asked.

" For one thing, it's closer to your house, so I can protect you if needed, and two. Look up."

I did as he said and what I saw was stunning. The place we were at was free of all branches and showed off how amazing and beautiful the view of the stars was. You could see constellations and the moon.

It was a full moon and the beam of light from the moon shinned down on us. It also shone on the flowers and trees that surrounded us, making the place look amazing. It was beautiful, and I have no idea how I didn't notice it when we first arrived.

" Now I see why you sleep here," I say.

He smiled down at me and led me to the base of the tree closest to us and we sat down. Me cuddled up at his side and his arm around me, keeping me warm.

My head was on his shoulder.

' Now your chance to ask him the questions.' Says my wolf.

She was right. I had to ask sooner or later.

" Hey Connor, I have a few questions I need to ask you," I say.

" Ask away."

" Well, today, remember how I told you about the rogues that attacked me and my friend Tasha?" I say.

He growls at the memory. " Yes I remember. What about it?" says Connor.

" Well, we took one captive for questioning, and he wouldn't speak to anyone or answer any question unless I was the one asking them. So my father took me into the interrogation room today to talk to the rogue," I say.

This time a loud growl rattles through his chest. I can see the anger about that in his eyes. His arm tightens around me in a more protective way. " Why would your father take you to talk to one of the rogues that tried to kill you?" If it were up to me, I'd yank that rogue's head right off his shoulders for trying to hurt you in the first place," he says angrily. I smile at his protectiveness of me.

" My brother John asked the same thing," I say. He nods, but stays tense.

"OK, please continue?" he says.

" Well, I was asking him questions, and don't worry, he was chained up with silver cuffs, and I was well protected. I had a bunch of guards there, along with Alpha George and his son Kurt and my father."

He seemed to relax a bit after I said that. "OK, so what did he say after you asked him the questions?" he says.

" Well, I was asking him why he attacked me and why he would only talk to me, and he responded by saying his boss told him to only talk to me if I managed to survive the attack."

" Why you?" he says.

" He said his boss wanted to see how strong I was. If those three didn't show up, then that means they were captured or killed and I survived the attack. He also said, for some reason, that he didn't know because he never asked. His boss was completely obsessed with me." I felt him tense up even more at my words. I continued on. " I asked why, and he said I would have to ask him that myself, then he stopped talking all together and wouldn't say another word." I finished.

" Who is this boss this rogue is talking about?" he says. It sounds as if he's trying to keep his anger from boiling over. He also sounds a bit panicked.

" He said he was the most huge, powerful and dangerous rogue ever," I said.

He tensed up even more. " No. Not that rogue," he whispers.

He stands up and walks away from me over to a tree and punches it. " What's wrong, do you know who I'm talking about?" I ask.

He nods. " Sadly, I did. I met him face to face under terrible circumstances."

" May I ask what happened?" I say.

" I'm sorry. I don't think I can talk about it just yet," he says quietly. Even in the dark I can see tears shinning in his eyes. Pure rage was seen as well.

I stood up and walked over to him. " It's OK, Connor. You don't have to say it," I say, putting my hand on his shoulder.

He smiled and rested his head on my hand. " Thank you, Amber."

I nod. I also wanted to ask how he escaped the prison, but I don't think now is the best time, so I'll have to ask tomorrow night.

" I can't let this rogue go anywhere near you. He's so dangerous and evil looking, he could be considered a demon. To me, he even looks like one and acts like one. He will kill any man, woman or child in his path with a second's hesitation," says Connor.

" So what are we going to do?" I ask. A bit of panic filling my body.

He turns to look at me. " Don't panic. I will help anyway I can. You are my mate, and it's my job to protect you, even if that means losing my life in the process, "he said protectively.

" You don't have to do that for me, you know," I say.

" I know, but it's my job. I like you too much to let anything happen to you. Right now you are everything to me, and if anything happened to you, I would go crazy. I will protect you and stay close to your house," he says.

" What if someone sees you though?" I say.

" Not to worry Amber. No one will see me. I'll make sure of it, "he says.

I nod. He pulls me into a hug and I bury my face in his chest, breathing in his scent.

He puts his chin on my head. " I won't let anything happen to you. I promise," he whispers to me.

We stand there for so long before we go sit against the tree again and enjoy each other's company.

I try cuddling with his side again, but he moves me to where I'm sitting in his lap and I can't help but to smile. I lean back and rest my head against his chest. Together we just sit there enjoying our alone time while we look at the stars.

Sadly, all good things must soon come to an end. After a while, we decided I should head back to my house.

He walks me all the way there. I kiss his cheek, and we say goodnight, and I turn and walk into my house, careful not to make a sound.

I then close and lock the door and quickly make my way up to my room and look out the window to see him looking up at me.

I smiled at him and made my way to my bed because he motioned for me to. I smiled even wider at that.

I laid down and tried to fall asleep.

It's nice knowing I have a protective mate like him.

He's nice, and right now I couldn't ask for a better mate, and with that I finally fall asleep with a smile on my face.
