Dani woke up to the rays of light on her face , it was already morning or maybe mid-afternoon, the sun caressed her face and it felt good. She realized that she was off the ground , he was carrying her and running at the same time , he took a moment to look down at her before taking his attention back to the road " You finally woke up , I was beginning to think I gave you too much to drink, maybe way more than you can handle , you have been sleeping since forever. But don't worry about a thing , we will be home soon." He looked down at her and smiled , a very appealing smile , a smile that was melting her stronghold. He was not looking at all like a man who was doing a lot of work carrying her, he didn't look like going through any difficulty at all, he was carrying her as if she does not weigh more than a sack of rice.
She looked about her, and the only thing she could see that was contant were trees and then the sky and his face , his pale face " Where are we ? " She asked a little bit confused.
" Oh if you are asking about the car , I have dished it out , it will only slow us down and I cannot risk it, Running is way better and faster than the car. It will not take long for your sisters and conri find out that it was me who actually carried you , I want to be long gone before they do. Them finding out won't be on my side at all. I have to get you in first, completely settled "
She tried to break herself free from him , struggling and kicking " Then let me go you son of a bitch! " Somehow the air was not disturbing their communication , it was as clear as if they were seated beside each other.
" Uh ? You know I have been called plenty of things , but the son of a bitch is not one of them. I will advise that you don't get on my nerves, you are going to make me stop being nice to you , and that is exactly what I do not want to do "
" Then let me go, I never said you should be nice to me , I never begged you to. Please let me go home , take me back to my sisters" she said still struggling.
" I am afraid I cannot do that. I am already taking you home , where you belong. As for your sisters , if they want to , they will meet us there. It is high time they came back to the pack anyway. I am not going to allow what is happening between your sister , the Alpha, and Dante to affect you , I don't want you to get caught up in it " He said as he started to slow down his pace.
" I don't even understand a bit of what you are saying , what do you mean ? " She calmed down, a little bit confused.
" Do you have any idea how distracting you are right now , my wolf is jumping for joy , but I cannot claim you until I feel you are ready, not that I really need your permission , I am just trying to be a gentleman "
" That is none of my business , that does not give you the right to take me away from my people! Gentleman my foot! " He looked down at her furious face , but the only thing he could see there is a charm , he was definitely charmed and it was getting difficult by the minute to keep himself under control.
" You are my mate ! you are bound to me , I tell you what I want and that is what you will abide by" He growled at her , dropping her in front of him so she could face him.
" No , I do not answer to anyone , I will not answer to you. I do not care what you think you are , you cannot talk to me like that, you are not going to tell me what to do "
" I knew you were going to be very stubborn the very first time I realized that you were my mate " He straightened out his shirt that has been rumpled from her gripping " I am sure you are hungry, come let us get some food to eat , so we can continue on our journey , it is already past noon "
" No , I prefer that I starve , I am not going anywhere with you " She looked about her , she could not see a decent restaurant anyway.
" If you are worried about the place , there is not a reason for you to be worried , Just trust me, I know a pretty decent place at the end of the road, and it is a werewolf restaurant so we can do as we like."
" I am not going with you," She said, folding her arms on her chest.
" You have no choice darling , I am famished and I must eat. If you do not feel like eating , then so be it , I won't force you but you are coming with me " He grabbed her and shove her to his front. Dani didn't argue anymore , she was not about to stay in the woods by herself , she does not even know the way back home even if she was given the opportunity to run back , and most importantly, she did not bring her phone with her. Maybe if she goes with him , she could see someone who could give her their phone for just a little while, then maybe , just maybe she will be able to speak with her sisters.
" Good ! you should have acted this way from the beginning , nice and meekly "
He asked for a plate of the diner's specials for that morning and it turned out to be a large meal , he asked her again if she wanted to have some food , it was already afternoon and it would become too unbearable later if she does not eat now
" I will eat from your plate " She looked up at him for any show of displeasure.
" You can have as much as you want , I am sure there is more where this one came from "
" Good , thank you , I might as well eat to my heart's content " They were almost done with their meal but there was still no one she could meet for their phone so she suggested that they stay over and start moving the next day.
" It is only afternoon my darling , I cannot waste any more time in here , when home is not far off anymore , we will be back home and into my bed in just a few hours"
" No please , let us stay more " She begged desperately , because if they leave then , Her sisters won't be able to meet up with them, that is only if they have managed to find out that it was Viktor who kidnapped her.
" If you plan to stall because you want them to meet us here , you know very well that would hardly be possible , they are all going to be coming by car , and it is not possible for your sister to come running in her wolf form , I heard that her wolf is sleeping. And I bet she would allow Conri to come to find you without her. For that reason alone , it will take them more than two days to catch up with us. Keep yourself safe before they come here to meet us "
" And how am I going to do that ? you are not letting me be , you are always telling me what to do"
"That's the point. that's the only thing you can do to keep yourself safe. Just do everything that I ask of you. if you do that and obey me, then we will not have any problems at all " ...
