Chapter 61 - Chapter 61

Xavier

I stare at the woman lying in front of me, I'm still angry- because from the moment she and the other two humans entered my area, I smelled her and my wolf jumped with excitement - mate!.

but the reason I'm angry is that guy- she called him Stan, I saw the look in her eyes - who is he? are they together? is she married ?. I huff, I don't even know her name- and I'm already jealous, is this what it's like to have a mate?.

The bigger problem here- is that I ate one of her friends- how is she going to react when she learns about it?, I look around, and notice that the snow has started to pile up- I look at my mate who's lying unconscious on the ground, she's turning a little blue because of the cold weather- her clothes have absorbed the water and moisture- I have to get her into a warm place, my place.

I reach out to grab her, but then I stop as I notice that she's wearing a necklace, a cross- then she's a believer, unlike me- I lost faith along with my sanity and humanity since everything that happened to me in the labs, yes, everything went down the drain, except for the monster that I am. I shake my head, reaching down, I put an arm behind her back, and anther under her knees, then I left her up in my arms. I look down at her, then out of no where Rain pops into my memory- this girl is shorter than her, curvier, she's wearing all bkack but I can see the outline of her body. Her skin is darker in color, her hair is long and wavy, fill lips, eyes smaller than Rain's, and chubby cheeks- I grin to myself- I can work with that.

Walking back to the pack area, I pass by the corpse of the other werewolf, her attacker, fucker actually thogh her got a chance against me. I admire the wounds I caused on him, while the ones he did on me have already healed. Then I remember that Stan of hers, I mind link with my beta Fang - "Fang", he responds quickly "yes alpha", I grunt in disgust "did you take care of the human make you dragged away minutes ago?" , he confirms "yes alpha, he's in the cells, the healer has taken care of his wounds, and now he's resting", I pause as I reach the boarders of the pack area "alright, I'm already here- did you put someone to keep an eye on him?" he pauses for a second, then answers "I'll put Beast in charge" I nod and smile to myself, Beast is terrifying even to werewolves- this man will pee himself when he sees him. I look down at my mate- let's see who's the real man worthy of you now.

Rita

As I start to come to, I feel warmth surrounding me, I frown in confusion, then I open my eyes slowly, instead of the dark snowy sky, my eyes meet a wooden ceiling, I frown and blink a few more times , then I remember the blazing red orbs staring down at me , I gasp and sit up, feeling a pang of pain in my forehead, I reach out to touch it carefully, my fingers touch a bandage- a bandage!, this means that someone found me and saved, they must have saved me from the werewolf. I smile widley, I must thank them, I move to stand up, but then I look down at myself and realise, I'm not wearing anything but my underwear and bra underneath the sheets- this makes the smile slip away, did they take off my clothes? I look around and find my pants and shirt layed on two chairs beside the fireplace, my shoes are put aside- so they only took them off to dry them, I huff a small laugh, I'm too suspicious of people.

Wrapping the white sheets around me I stand up and start looking around. The room I'm in is huge, it appears to be a bedroom since not only that there's a big bed in it, but also cupboards,and a bathroom with a shower. the room is very dark in theme, the walls are actually painted black,

the furniture is dark wood, the only white thing is the sheet I have wrapped aroud me. but then my eyes spot a black wooden box, curious , I walk towards it, it appears to be black because it had caught fire once, and it has metal imberioded paintings of wolves- my fingers trail them, then I look at the lock which has the shape of a wolf's head with it's mouth open .

"Curious, little mouse?", I jump and clutch the sheets as as turn around, there, standing at the door, is a tall guy, broad shoulders, light skin, dark eyes, perfection- he crosses his arms, causing his muscles to git out, I gulp and look back up into his eyes, I shake my head and huff a small laugh "oh, I'm sorry, I was just looking around and found this box interesting", he looks at the box behind me briefly , then back at me, then smirks "of course you did", I clutch the sheet with one hand as my other hand reaches to push my hair back from my face nurviusly "um, thank you" , he raises a brow "for what?" , I smile "for saving me from that werewolf, I don't know what happened since I fell and my forehead hit a rock- but I'm guessing you found me and got me here.. so, thank you", he stays quiet for a moment, he looks down , his smile long gone, he looks vey serious as he looks back at me and says "I did not save you from the werewolf", then he walks into the room slowly, suddenly I feel uncomfortable with him getting close to me, so I walk backwards, until my back hits a wall- "um, what do you mean?", he smirks, as he takes slow studied , calculated steps towards, almost like - a predator stalking his prey. Then he steps right in front of me, leaning closer, invading my personal space, he studies my face and says "you see, I am the werewolf".

My blood freezes in my vients, and I shudder , my eyes widen in fear as realization hits me, he grins widely- just lke the werewolf did, and then I see his fangs elongate, "do I look more familiar now?", I gasp in fear , he leans closer, but then my instincts kick in - I raise my knee and hit him in the crouch, a normal man would crumble and fall to the ground- but this man or beast , took two steps back and checkled, I take the chance and run past him, but then he steps on the tail of the sheet that I have wrapped around me , and I stumble to the floor , the next thing I feel is his weight on top of my back, I try to get back up on my feet, but he grunts "don't do that", my butt lines up with his crouch, and I can feel him getting hard- I stop and go numb, breathing hard I say "what do you want from me? why am I here?", he pauses for a moment but then says calmly " I will tell you only if you promise to behave, I'm going to get up now, you will sit and listen to the end- ok?" I weigh my chances, since this guy is much stronger and faster than me, my chances of escaping are close to 0%, so I take a deep breath and nod, he stands up "smart girl", I get up slowly, wrap the sheet around me and sit in the bed calmly, he grabs a chair , spins it and then he sits on it with his arms resting on it, "we may have met the wrong way, in the worst place and time ever- but you need to understand something, we were meant to meet at some point", I narrow my eyes at him "what is that supposed to mean?", he raises a finger "good question, and I'll answer it. Now, what I mean by bad place and bad timing- is that I am sorry for eating your friend - the one with the camera", I shiver at the memory of Stan telling me what he saw , but then I remember " Stan! where is he? " , I stand up attempting to go search for him, but a growl makes me freeze, I look at the guy sitting in front of me, and I swear I could see his eyes glow red for a second , he speaks through clenched teeth "sit. down. " , I gulp, and sit back down slowly, he sighs " your .. friend is safe, you don't need to worry about him- on the other I see you're not scared or surprised by the fact that I actually ate your friend",I nod slowly and look down " Stan told me about it right before you attacked us", he smiles and nods as if proud of himself, "good, now, before I say anything else- I have some questions to ask you", I cross my arms and look him in the eyes "and what makes you think I'm going to answer those questions? afterall it depends", he tilts his head "depends on what?" , I raise my chin "on how long I'm going to be here, I'm just a passer-by,you and I are not going to see each other after today", he suddenly bursts out laughing, like I just told him a joke, I wait for him to compose himself, he finally stops and turns serious again "tell me, what's your name?", I sigh "Rita Rodrigez" , he bites his lower lip and tilts his head, as if remembering a sweet memory, "Rita…" , hearing my name coming from his mouth- caused a weird feeling to stir inside of me, something I couldn't explain. His eyes meet mine , "you feel it too?", I frown, "Idon't know what I'm feeling" he stands up slowly and starts walking towards me, I crawl back on the bed, my heart pounds as he climbs on top of me- I should scream, kick, tell him to get the fuck off- but I don't. It's as if it;s the most convenient thing in the world, like we've been married for years, his eyes bore into mine as he whispers "Rita- you and I , are mates , you are mine", then he leans down, and his lips touch mine.
