Chapter 4 - Chapter 3: Connected by blood

"What's taking you so long? We got our ass beat up while you're taking your time!" Caden slam the chain on the floor while staring at Chris trying to hold Grace from moving around. He was covering her mouth yet the only thing that bothers him was the fact that Chris's arms was around her waist. The fabric of her cloth was so thin that it was impossible for him not to feel her warmth. He growled unconsciously.
Chris chuckle. "Its alright. You look fine to me. Same ol' same ol'. Who's the chick?"
Caden growled once more making Chris flinched. "Okay, okay. You can stop doing that alpha shit. Who is she?"
Again Grace continues to struggle against his hold and when she finally got out of his clutches, she felt her body pulled backwards until her back rested on something hot and hard. Moreover, she didnt miss the huge bulge resting on her back and she froze in her spot.
She tries to pry away the hand clutching her waist but Caden was so strong and what he said next made her shock.
"She's my mate. I'm taking her with me."
"What?" All eyes turn to Caden.
"This little thing over here is your mate? You sure about that, Cade? She has vampire smell all over her."
"Yeah, I'm sure and I'm going to work that out of her after this, isn't that right, sweetheart?" Grace open her mouth in disbelief.
"Careful there, sweetheart. You open your mouth that big makes me wonder if you want something in there with you." As if on cue, he lick his lips making her bit hers instead.
"Please let me go! I promise I won't let anyone know you escaped. Please, Alex will look for me. I.."
"Never spoke of other man in front of me, got it? Especially that low life asshole!" Caden roared at her. His voice was so angry and menacing. She felt her body shivered from the way he tighten the hold he have around her waist.
"W..well if you don't let go, I will scream."
Caden smirked, "Just try, baby."
Grace was annoyed by his taunting and starts to open her mouth when Chris move forward and wrap a cloth around her mouth. Her scream was muffled by the cloth and her scream became startled when Caden flop her on his shoulder like she weighed nothing.
"Move now. Escape route safe?" He ask Chris.
"Yup, we killed a few vampires on our way. We're safe?"
Grace made a surprise tone, continues to bang her hand behind Caden's back as a sign of her opposing what Chris has just revealed. These vampires are innocent. How could they kill them and causally talk about it as if it was nothing?
Her banging didn't affect Caden at all. He starts to storm off towards the exit and heading straight to the outdoor. Back where he found her, few vampires came carrying guns but the wolves was able to subdue them quickly.
Caden holds a smug look on his face, proudly looking upon his fellow werewolves and how strong they were. Quickly they ran outside leaving the compound. Sun above them starts to rise and it broke Grace's heart seeing Alex was running behind them.
"Emmaline!" He screamed but the ray from the sun hits the ground making him stop darting towards her. His skin that was expose to the light started searing creating black smoke.
Dark veins protrude all around his face as a sign of anger. He didn't care that he was on fire when he still tries to walk forward but Eric quickly caught him in time and drag him back under the shadow of the gate walls.
Tears fall from her cheeks. So did the tears pooling in the eyes of the blonde prince.
...
"Please, just bring me back. I swear to you Alex won't do anything to you. None of you will get hurt. Please."
Grace continues to plead with the wolf. She couldn't move around in the car much since she was sitting on Caden's lap and he wrapped his arms around her body.
Though the truck was huge, the space was quickly filled by the wolves with one still wounded after carried by his friend from Alex's mansion.
"Won't do anything? Did you see what he did to our friend here?" Chris says to her while snacking on the potato chips on his lap. Chris Durant from what she heard his full name was from Caden was a gorgeous man. Blonde man with blue eyes. his skin was so tanned and athletic. He looks like spend hours at the gym daily with how big his muscles were. Well, almost all of them are especially the big guy currenlty holding her like a vice.
Caden was the epitome of a greek God. He was huge and sinfully gorgeous. She wouldn't stop blushing in his presence and he knows it too. Thats why he always grin everytime she she tried to sneak a peek of his face.
"That's because you broke into his mansion. Anyone would be upset if someone tries to enter their house without permission!" She wiggle her butt to move but it made her jumped when she felt Caden's erection hardening beneath her.
"Keep on moving like that, angel. I don't mind spectators. It'll be great kink for us." Caden wink at her. She stare forward, annoyed by how perverted he was.
"Your boyfriend captured our pack member who made a small mistake of entering your area. He didnt know better and rather than interogate him nicely, he tried to kill Aiden. You try to speak of justice on behalf of your boyfriend is hilarious."
"He is not my boyfriendf!" She r5aise her voice.
Eveyrone was quiet for awhile. Caden felt a smile tugging his lip but he kept a stoic impression,, "What is he then? Trying to chase after you even under the sun. Why does he matter?"
Grace looks down, "I don't want to speak about it with you."
"Why?If he means nothing to you, just admit it now!"
"He does mean something to me. You will never understand."
"And why is that?" Her answer made him angry.
"You're a wolf. You wouldn't understand those affection!" She turned her head to face Caden and quickly regret her choice of words.
The car was quiet once more except for Chris speaking from aside, "No offense, alpha but I don't like your mate that much."
Well, I don't like you too, she thought.
How rude.
...
It was a two hour drive to Lithia Moon pack base. Hidden from sight, they were careful to blind fold Grace as they enter the forest of their homes. After Caden's father had attack Alex's parent, they had to find a new home to hide from their enemies and finally a strong base for the pack. No one knew except for wolves around them where the pack were.
Quickly as they arrived at the compound of the land own by Laroux's family, Grace's blinfold was ripped open. She shook her head at the tight sensations and her eyes widen at the mansion in front of her. It was a huge mansion made from woods. Dark brown and very elegant. Simple house was built around them as well and all the women and children alongside around them was running to her.
She covers her eyes not redy to accept the attention but quickly peek through her fingers seeing the villagers was actually welcoming the wounded wolf. She moves backwards but Caden stood like a rock behind her, not willing to move even an inch.
The coolness of the forest gave her goosebump. She felt her nipples hardening from the coolness of the forest wind and quickly realise her vulnerable state. She covers her body with her hand even though it does nothing to cover her body.
Caden notice this and take off his leather jacket. When he tries to put it around her, she flinched away but Caden forcefully put it on her shoulder and pulls her towards the mansion. All eyes stays on them and Grace was so embrassed by the scene he was making.
Passing by a group of women, she hears them whispering 'mate' and it made her blush even more. One woman don't look that happy though. She was so beautiful with her golden brown locks in a pony tail and her tan skin look gorgeous in the black tank top she was wearing. her bright blue eyes stare daggers at her back.
Entering the mansion, she was dragged to a large office. Grace's foot bumps on the edge of the carpet, causing her to fall face down. Caden couldn't catch her in time and she moan in pain. Her hips hurt as it hits the floor and her arm grazed on the carpet making it red.
"Caden James Laroux! What did you do?"
A voice boomed from the door. Grace turn her head and saw an lady around mid 50's quickly ran towards her.
"I..I didn't mean too. She bumped o the thick carpet edge. What was I suppose to do."
"Stupid son! You see a lady got hurt, you help. Not just stare at her as if she would be okay all on her own."
The lady brings Grace to stand but stop when she sniff at her and frown, "Why she smell like vampire? "
"We saved her mom."
No you didn't! You kidnap me! Take me back now!"
"No can't do, angel!" He move closer to her. His face was only an inch close. She can feel his warm breath on her skin.
"You are mine. You are not going anywhere!" His voice deepens, making her gulped at how dominant he was being.
"You don't hve any right to keep me here!"
"Make me."
"What the hell is going on here?" The lady spoke gain.
"Mom, this is Grace. Grace, this is my mom, Luna Marian.'
"Who is she son?" Marian ask again and her hand was crossed meaning she meant business.
"She's my mate mom. Grace is my mate."
Marian mouth opened in shock.
"Why, I'll be damned. Why she smell like vampire though?"
Caden turn his gaze on her, making her step backwards until she reach the wall, "Time to explain, angel. What are you, a human doing with a vampire, huh?"
