Then his clothing ripped in half, and his abs started gaining hair all over it. And I watched him transform into a majestic white wolf with green eyes.
Wow, his wolf is gorgeous! I have never seen anything like him. I thought as a blush crept up my cheeks.
I couldn't tear my eyes away from his body while his bones contorted.
Everything was glistening, which was beautiful.
Is my wolf going to look like that? Or will she be a different color as well as size? I wondered as Christian finished.
Then he stealthily moved toward Darla, with precise steps.
His sharp teeth showed through his mouth. Spit started pouring from him.
But then, I looked at her. She crossed her arms in defiance. Is she not scared he could hurt her? I wondered as a growl escaped him.
"Darla, I warned you on how you talk to my mate! Now you are banned from this pack! Leave and never return!" He snarled, yet she didn't immediately depart from the room.
Darla widened her stance a bit at his words, defiance in her eyes. I see that you are defending that... That woman, who is not fit and strong enough to be your mate!" She replied defiantly and smirked.
Once again, her eyes flitted to mine, causing me to shrink back.
"What do you mean by that?" I mumbled under my breath scared of how she would respond.
Just as the words left my mouth, Christian turned and faced me. He squinted, concern etched in his face.
Christian's POV:
Despite screaming at Darla, my heart started beating rapidly in my chest. Anabelle's small question made its way to my ear, causing me to abruptly stop what I was doing.
I could sense Mark, my wolf, trying to push me to the back of my mind.
"Mark, don't do this. I can take care of her." I silently communicated with him, urging him to let me take my body back.
He was angry, "You don't understand what I'm saying! She humiliated our mate, something has to be done!" Mark spoke, his voice tinged with sadness, and agitation.
"I do know. But this isn't the way to go about it." I replied back, then turned toward Anabelle. Her eyes were droopy, and she looked defeated.
As I kept observing her, my heart felt like it was breaking in half. Looking at her, I saw tear drops forming on her eyelids.
Slowly, I advanced my way toward her, determination with every step.
"Ana, is everything alright?" I questioned, concern etched in my voice. Desperately I wanted to do everything in my power to make sure no harm came upon her.
If the first step was to ban Darla from my pack, then that's what I will do.
The silence between us grew, she didn't respond. She looked at her hands, and then back at Darla.
Curiously I knelt down and nudged her with my wolf, hoping she would hear me.
Anabelle's Pov:
While in the middle of my rampant emotions, I felt something nudging me.
Who's doing that? Are they trying to comfort me? Or are they trying get my attention? I thought as my eyes found theirs.
Peering deeper, my jaw dropped in shock. It wasn't just anyone. That's Alpha Christian! He was trying to communicate with me. His eyes glowed, concern shining through them.
Why? Why would he care about me? I'm new here, yet his affection for me is more than what he has for Darla! I wondered, as my heart began shattering in half.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. It had been so long since I had someone care for me as much as he did.
A sigh of relief escaped my lips as an onset of emotions came trampling through me. I was glad to have someone stuck up for me, yet I felt weak.
I tried to control my breath, but her words weighed down on me as a heavy that couldn't be moved.
His wolf bumped and nudged me again with his nostrils. Slowly, I looked at him, a sense of calm flowing through my veins.
Darla spoke, her shrill voice filling our ears. "Once you realize how weak she is, you will beg to have me be back."
When she finished speaking, Darla turned on her heel and walked out.
Slam... Darla shut the door with a loud bang as she exited the office.
Once she was gone, the silence around us grew heavy with the tension.
My legs felt like jelly as the words she declared weighed down on me. Everything she told him was like a kick in my chest.
Christian's Wolf's body started to twist and turn in unimaginable ways. Every crack of his bones were heard.
Watching in awe, I observed how the fur that was all over his body was now gone. He stood in front of me, his naked body glistening.
"Wow, this man is handsome!" I mumbled under my breath, while I licked my lips.
As if he noticed my gaze, Christian scanned me up and down, and squinted his eyes.
"You like what you see?" He asked, his voice low and seductive.
I was caught off guard, not expecting him to notice how I was looking at him.
Does he feel the tension between us? He must, because of the way he responded to my gaze. But was it only to quench his thirst? Or is there something else behind it? I pondered as I tried to think of how to answer him.
After a brief moment, my wolf spoke in my ear. "Accept it. Admit your feelings for him. You know he's your mate. No matter what happen, Christian will always be there for you."
As I listened to her, I sighed once again. She is right, I must acknowledge my feelings. But I'm too scared of how he's going to react.
You know what, I shouldn't be scared. Just because Kaden trampled on my feelings doesn't mean Christian will.
