Rain
I let out the loudest scream that I could ever manage- my legs gave up underneath me and I fell to the ground with my eyes shut and my hands on my head. It was a weak move to protect myself from the sharp long claws and canines that seemed to be as long as my fingers. While I sat there with my eyes shut I could hear all the yelps and growls, flesh tearing, howls- and when I smelled the familiar iron I knew it was blood, so I made sure not to open my eyes yet. Suddenly everything fell quiet again, I gathered my courage and opened my eyes slowly, I saw Zevrus's naked legs covered in blood, I looked up slowly until I reached his face- his chest was heaving and he was looking down at me, he was covered in blood and his eyes were glowing. "Zevrus, are you-" my voice was cut when I heard a growl from behind me, in an instant I felt jaws clamp at my shoulder and the pain was hot white- so bad that it made me let a blood curdling scream out, then I was flying in the air and for another second I felt myself hit a tree, I hit it so hard that it cut the breath out of my lungs and I fell to the ground with a loud thud.
My vision started to blur, I blinked a few time as I lay there on the ground- I saw Zevrus and the black wolf staring at each other, then the black wolf started to shift in a human form, when he finished he looked at me with a scowl and a sneer of disgust- then everything went black.
Zevrus
I stared at Rain lying on the ground- limp and unconscious, I started to boil and I looked at my brother
"Cedric, what the hell is wrong with you? What was that for?"
Cedric was my older brother and the alpha of the pack, he looked me up and down then he looked at Rain -then he nodded once and looked at me again "I am making sure that you, brother, don't get that human tick all over your ass", I scowled at him and looked at Rain again as I spoke "the girl is safe- she didn't show any aggression or attempt of an attack, we just talked-" I was interrupted by Cedric's hollow laugh "talked? About what? Since when do we talk to humans Zevrus? Have you forgotten that they are only food and play toys to us?" Cedric had a special hate for humans- his mate was captured by a group of R.A.Ws who surrendered her to the scientists, they made several experiences on her, she ended up going wild and nuts and in the end they had to put her down and throw her in the heart of the ocean.
Being a werewolf's mate is like being a second God who walks on two legs. Cedric loved and worshiped his mate Tyla before she died, after her death he transformed into a blood thirsty beast, he never showed mercy and he started to hunt and eat humans- werewolves usually kept their distance from humans, we only fed on wild animals like deer and boars- but Cedric's mate's death affected not only him but also our whole pack who also loved and respected their deceased luna.
I shook my head and sighed , this is gonna be hard "Cedric, it's been 3 years..you need to let go and forgive- I understand your anger brother, but this human girl over there has nothing to do with all the shit that happened with the R.A.Ws and the scientists" Cedric was quiet, but he looked at her direction with wide eyes and anger, he sure wasn't gonna lay off. Finally he took a deep breath and returned his gaze to me "Zevrus, we need to leave before a patrol comes here, I don't want my pack to be exposed to danger just because of a human bi-" I couldn't stop the growl that erupted from my chest "don't" I warned him.
Cedric was a little surprised and confused, he stared hard at me and then back at Rain- he was quiet and I could tell he was thinking hard about something, he clenched and loosened his fists a few times then he lowered his head and closed his eyes "Jacks!" he called for his third in command -Jacks has the reputation of being a complete animal, especially with human females and she wolves alike. He stepped past the other wolves who are now in human form and looked at Cedric with a sober look, Cedric still had his eyes closed when he spoke "go get the girl, we are taking her with us- you boys should play a little, it's been a while since you had some fun", I froze and at Jacks who suddenly widened his eyes and his face broke into a sinister look when he gazed toward Rain- she was laying on the ground on her back, her face was facing the other way exposing her long delicate neck, her wavy hair was splayed all over her head, arms at the sides of her body- but then I noticed her legs, the black dress she was wearing seemed to glide dangerously up exposing the white pale flesh of her long legs all the way up to her thighs.
I looked at Jacks who was staring at her with wide eyes and a grin, he licked his lips and walked towards her- I growled as I stared after him, he stood there looking down at her as if looking at a feast, then he bent down and reached an arm under her thighs, he slid his hand under them then grabbed a hold of them while the other arm sled under her neck- then he yanked her up as he stood- her head fell back, letting down a curtain of wavy hair, her eyes were closed and even from where I stood I could see her dark long lashes closed over the top of her cheeks, her lips were slightly parted, and her neck was now fully exposed to everyone- Jacks eyes were travelling down her body and studying her cleavage which thankfully was covered, but the problem was that her dress gilded even shorter now that Jacks was holding her up- her underwear was showing and exposing the bottom of her ass.
When I was done looking at how beautiful my mate was- I caught Jacks' gaze- and he was looking at me with that shit eating grin, I growled warning him not to do anything rational other than following his alpha's orders- but Jacks was Jacks, so he yanked her again making her body jump in his hands, and this time one of his hands was on her ass- that sit me up, I took two steps towards him and with an unhuman growl I said "put her down", Jacks didn't budge, instead he squeezed her ass with his hand- at that point I lost control and charged at him, but before I could reach him Cedric stepped right between us- he growled at me "calm down" I kept staring at Jacks with a warning look "put. her. down. NOW!"
Cedric glanced behind his shoulder at Jacks and nodded once, Jacks hesitated but then he started to lower Rain down- everyone else started to groan in disappointment , looks like they had high hopes for tonight, tough shit- cause this is my mate not just some hooker ready for a gang bang.
Cedric was looking at me intently while I watched Jacks put Rain down, of course the fucker had to tease me -when he finally put her down, he reached a hand and patted her breast. I sure as hell was thankful that Rain was unconscious because Jacks has already violated her body with his looks and touches.
Cedric cleared his throat so I would look him in the eyes "Zevrus,what aren't telling me?" He waited for me to answer, but when he noticed that I hesitated he took a deep breath ,closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose- apparently he knew what I was going to tell him and now he was praying that he's wrong. I pull back my shoulders and tip my chin proudly "the girl's name is Rain, and she is my-" Cedric finished the sentence for me "mate, of course, of all the options my brother's mate would be a human, a fucking filthy human, an ENEMY!" he punched a tree next to him creating a hole in it, I wasn't fazed by his anger- but the others backed off a little, they knew better than to approach Cedric while angry.
I took a deep breath "Cedric, this is not another human, she is my mate and you know what that means- she has to be close and protected not only by me but also by the pack"
"I don't need you to teach me the law, why the hell do you think I'm pissed? It's because I don't want a human in my pack! It's wrong and it's not fair for Tyla! Humans killed her!"
"But those humans weren't Rain!" I lost my temper at the thought of Rain unprotected and disrespected by my brother and our pack.
"Fine, you want to be with your mate- you go to her place, I am not having a human girl in my pack" Cedric pointed at Rain and glared at me.
I was going to shout back but a sound of a siren cut through the park- it was the police, SHIT. I looked at Cedric and immediately our pack started to retreat to the trees -we can't risk being seen , if the police sees us they would send a message to the R.A.Ws and that would expose our pack and the others in the area. I stood there hesitant as the last of the wolves disappeared into the bushes- now it was only my brother, Rain and I there, Cedric had ducked down and his eyes were rolling and darting around, he looked at me and hissed "come on, what are you waiting for?! Let's go" he ushered with his hand, but I stood my ground - his eyes widened with anger and confusion then he looked at Rain, he understood my silent message I'm not going anywhere without my mate. Cedric looked at the ground and started to look around as he thought and calculated then he looked back at me and nodded- that was all I needed, immediately I walked towards Rain and ducked beside her, after a quick check of the surrounding I noticed the two cops with the flash lights were retreating to their car- I slid my hands under Rain's body and lifted her up, she was light and felt good in my hands. But there was no time for those thoughts, I ran fast with Cedric on my tail and we vanished into the darkness towards our compound
