It was already starting to get dark, soon I started to get cold, but I kept walking steadily without letting Gregory notice my discomfort. All I wanted was for him to hug me.
- Are you curious?
He took my hand and stopped when we stopped in front of the abandoned park, while smiling mischievously, he pulled me over to a wooden bench.
- Don't make that face. He smoothed my hair. - How old are you?
"Twenty-five," I replied grudgingly.
- So you haven't had the maturity yet.
He was having fun with my situation.
"And to think that in two years you'll be complete for me." - licked his lips. - Do you know how old I am?
"More than twenty-seven, that's for sure.
It was obvious that he was past the age of maturity.
"So smart," he smiled. "My wolf part has chosen very well.
I stared at him, he was quite young just like Triton, but he didn't have half the charm of him.
- I'm sixty-seven. He licked his lips once more. "That's why you shouldn't call me sir, understand?" He pulled my hair towards him, sniffing it.
"Got it," I pulled my head back.
"Kristine, don't displease me. He slapped me. "If I don't have to punish her."
I put my hand on his sore cheek, I wanted to punch him in return, but I was at a huge disadvantage.
- I see you understand.
This time, instead of pulling my hair, he came against me, sniffing me. I was shaking inside, I was fragile, and I knew that if I continued like this, the situation would get disgusting.
- You smell wonderful...
-Violet!
Gregory jumped off the bench, I did the same more subtly so he wouldn't try to grab me. I was relieved, I would recognize that voice anywhere, Triton hadn't completely forgotten me, I wished it was true.
"If you touch her one more finger, I'll kill you!" Triton growled and moved closer to Gregory.
"She's with me because she wants to." Gregory confronted him, as he was much taller, it seemed that Triton was at a great disadvantage.
However, Triton was undeterred.
"Like she's going to go out with a madman like you." Triton stared at him. - Which of her friends did you threaten to hurt?
Gregory took a step back, and his hand reached for me, but I dodged. He turned and stared at me, I swallowed hard and stood still. Triton didn't like his attitude and forced him to turn around, the two were face to face and looked like two males in dispute.
"I think it's time for you to leave, little wolf." Gregory laughed.
"It's time for you to shut up." Triton growled.
Gregory pulled Triton by the collar of his shirt and headbutted him, I was surprised by the smile Triton sketched after being hit.
- Now the board won't complain if I do that!I
didn't even see how Gregory ended up on the ground, what I do know was that he was in a lot of pain in the hand he had used to hold the Triton, I paid more attention and his hand seemed to be very crooked. -
Have you given up yet? Triton adjusted his shirt. - Don't think you're going to get away with it after everything you've done.
It was ominous when I saw Triton's wicked smile, watched as Gregory stood up, then he tried to punch him with his good hand, but he was too clumsy and even I would have been able to dodge it.
Then, in one swift motion, Triton twisted his wrist and gave him a knee to the stomach, Gregory dropped to his knees and spat out some blood.
Still motionless, I squinted at Triton, he was very nervous and didn't seem to notice my presence anymore. I was a little disappointed, I confess that I wish he had found us because he was worried about me, but it is a fact that the story was not like that.
I shake my head, what had happened to my decision to have no men for a while?
"And what are you going to do?" Gregory laughed. - Kill me?
- My task is to find out who was causing a ruckus and resolve the situation. Triton commented, he was a little calmer. "We have two options, either you can be helped and become a good wolf, or you have no salvation and I will have to kill you."
He said it so calmly that my arm hairs stood on end, I had never seen someone speak so coldly, this must be more proof that the whole time he was just having fun with me... How was I so stupid to think he really wanted me to be part of his pack?
"Are you going to kill me?" Gregory kept laughing.
And it's been confirmed that he's insane, however, the worst thing about this whole situation is that I'm pretty sure Triton will kill him.
"Don't worry, I don't mean to kill you. Triton smiles. "Because I must first see if you have salvation, then you go with me to the house of my friend who has kindly come to help me."
- Are you so incompetent that you can't handle a mission on your own?
Apparently, Gregory was asking to be killed.
"I'll just go with you." Gregory suddenly became serious. "If Kristine comes along with me." He smiled mischievously.
I would have punched him if Triton hadn't done it for me, then gritted his teeth and grabbed Gregory by the collar of his shirt. Triton was actually very strong and I admit that scares me a bit.
- Say her name one more time with that filthy mouth of yours and you'll regret it!
The caramel in Triton's eyes was so strong that even I was frightened.
"Wait, I get it..." Gregory laughed again. "You're jealous, aren't you?"
Triton didn't answer, took a deep breath and pulled out his phone, it felt like he was reading a message.
"The council has decided that you can't do it anymore, because you've already killed four innocent people and it seems that this is the second city where you commit these murders.
"I only managed to kill three in the other, the security there was much greater than here. - Gregory commented. "This city is wonderful, it has such careless people, it was easy to kill them.
I gritted my teeth, how could he be so inhumane? I wanted to get closer and give him a beating, but I was afraid of losing control or irritating Triton more than he already was.
- But you know what was the best? Gregory smiled. - To find a wolf as angry and seductive as Kris.
One more punch, I should be sorry, but I was loving watching him get beaten. He deserved it for everything he did and yet I felt like a monster watching him suffer and do nothing.
"Triton..." my voice came out so low that I didn't even hear it myself. - That's enough. - was a little louder.
Triton was very tense, but as soon as he heard my voice, he relaxed his muscles and sighed. Then, without delay, he used both hands and turned Gregory's neck, breaking it.
The body fell, Triton remained still without looking at me, I approached slowly, took a handkerchief from my bag and wiped some blood from his hands. -
Thank you. - he thanked quietly.
"I'm the one who has to thank you," I gave a small smile.
I looked at him, he was looking like a tamed wolf, the color of his eyes was less intense.
"Are you okay?" he asked, still not looking at me.-
I am. - I answered, still looking at him. - But you don't look so good.
"It's because I lost control, until I heard you talking to me."
Finally he looked at me, gave me a small smile and gently placed a hand on my aching cheek.
"It was him, wasn't it?"
"Don't worry, I'm really fine." I put my hand on top of yours.
Then I take both of his hands and notice that one of them is starting to swell, I assume the punches were pretty hard, so I remember he got headbutted.-
Does your head hurt? - I asked, already placing my hand on his forehead. - You men really don't know how to argue without fighting.
He laughs a little and squeezes my cheek which is not hurt.
-Let's go... I'll take you home. He grabbed one of my hands and pulled me carefully.
"But what about the body?" I stopped, and then he stopped.
- Lorraine will take care of it. - he affirmed and pulled me, hugging me. "It's going to be okay from now on, Lorena knows how to take care of it without the press knowing the truth."
I was speechless because of a hug, it was the stupidest thing that ever happened to me in my entire life. But I took advantage of it and hugged him back, he sank me a little deeper into his chest, smelling his scent from so close was very good.
When he let go of me, I lowered my head so he wouldn't see me so blushing and walked beside him, just imagining what our goodbye would be like.
