6 chapter 5

Elias gave no indication to how he felt about my annuncement other than a thoughtful look," I suggest we keep this quiet for now. No need to stir up trouble especially while you are unable to defend yourself. well just say your a new wolf to the territory. not a lie as your shifter form is a wolf"

Werewolves could detect a lie both due a sent the it gives off and the increase in the heart beat. It made it difficult for me to be around them and hide what I am. Hence why I tried to avoid them. If only I had known how close I was.

Taking my silance as agreement he went on, "I'll set you up with a room in the pack house and 2 guards until you are well enough to defend yourself and decide if you still need them or not. I think it best you stay here where Asia can make sure you are properly healed. Although I will not force you to stay it is my duty see after your safety, if I may, while with in my territory."

I want to snap that I dont need his help that he can take his guards and his coddling and shove it. But it would be a death sentance for me to leave in my condition. Summoning as much dignity as I could while clothed in the most atrocious puke green gown I had ever seen. And trying not to think about how it was open in the back and all he had to do was take a step over to the side and he could probably see my bare ass. I replied gruffly "I understand. Thank you."

The corner of his lip lifts slightly as if he is amused by my reluctance of his help or perhaps my failing atempt at pretening I wasnt bothered by my lack of proper clothing, "I will leave now to prepare a room for you. Asia will be back shortly to finish tending your injuries."

I watch him leave admiring his broad shoulders and muscular physic. despite his overly formal speech and the fact that I was practically naked while speaking with him I decided I find him quite sexy.

After Asia finished she brought me a pair of sweat pants, a plain black tee, and matching sports bra and underwear. I quickly put it on feeling much more comfortable out of the horrible green gown. and after she put my arm back into the sling I was made to sit in a small waiting room

Two twin giants came to the door. The previously mentioned body guards I assumed. They both had military style haircuts and dont mess with me frowns that seemed permantly etched on to their stony faces. The predatory aura oozed from every pore of their being. they were built like those body builder you suspect were on steroids. Giant bear men! I swallowed a snicker at the thought. Their muscular bulk along with the harsh look in their dark blue eyes was unnerving. I immediately decided i never wanted to be on their bad side.

"We are here to take Ms. Storm to her room to rest." Giant number 1 said.

"Elias said we are to guard you during your stay." Giant number 2 added after noticing me.

Their voices were so deep they sounded like the rumble of thunder. They would never pass as human. At least it would take a very powerful, or very stealthy being to get past them. I'll be safe enough with them around, even if they make me a bit uneasy.

The walk to the room was quiet. I was too tired to do anything but fallow the two men. Who introduced themselves as Grant and Garrett Rosen. I would definitely not know how to get anywhere at this rate.

Grant, previously known as giant 1, was only distinguishable from his twin Garret by a scare on the left side of his face. It went from the corner of his eye all the way down to his strong jawline. I thought it actually made him better looking than his brother. Perhaps because it showed that he wasn't invincable and made him just a bit more approachable.

Upon reaching my room Grant opened the door. "This is where you will be while you remain here. If you get hungry there is a small pantry with snacks and a mini fridge as well. If you want a meal we can take you to the kitchen."

I shook my head, "No, I think I'll just go to sleep for awhile."

"let us know if there is anything else you need. There will be a shift change in 12 hours. Do you wish to be woken up in time to be introduced or would you prefer to be left to sleep?"

I yawned my eyes already trying to close, " No thanks I turn into a fire breathing monster if ok wake me up before I'm ready."

I heard a soft chuckle as I entered the room, but I couldn't be bothered to care. I instantly fell in love with the bed. Id marry it if it was allowed. It was gigantic like 2 king sized beds smushed into one. The blanket was unbelievably soft as where the pillows. snuggling down into to the luxurious bed I was instantly dead to the world.

****

over the next few weeks I pretty much stuck to myself in my room. Other than Grant I didnt really talk to anyone. Garret was adament about sticking to his post at the door. Grant didnt mind talking and keeping me company. After getting approval from Elias anyway.

I began to think of Grant as a bear and have decided that he must be a werebear. It happens sometimes that weres of diffrent types would join packs of other species if they lived in their territory. Were-bears are feircely protective of the ones they care about. Even more so over their life mates.

Unlike in the books and movies I've read life mates are chosen not some random person you instanly have a bond with, they are someone you develop a feelings for and once real love has been established a bond forms and if the partners are ready the bond is sealed by a bonding ceremony. this is a mixing of their blood poured onto a pure gold ribbon that is tied around their hands and wrists. this action binds their souls creating a life mate. Breaking this bond damages the soul and is a extremely taboo.

I wondered if Grant or Garret had a life mate yet. I also wanted to ask about Grants scar. But I felt I wasnt close enough yet for that type of personal questioning. Also I didn't want to lose the only person I had to talk to by making him mad. We watched alot of streaming channels and played video games as well as I continued to heal.

Soon I'd be out of this cast and able to shift again my skin tingled with anticipation. just a few days more and Id be free to go back home. At least I hope I will be. Elias could decide to make me stay. or the rest of his pack could find out what I am and I would be forced to accept his protection or run away again.

I was supposed to be watching a movie but my mind kept drifting. Grant was currently off guard duty. It was currently the replacements that refused to acknowledge me except to shadow me when I went to the kitchen or library. they made me so pissed off with that that I wanted to rip them to shereds or burn their blank nasty faces so I didnt have to see them anymore. I huffed it wasnt really their fault it was just that it accentuated my lack of any freinds or even acquaintances here. and I was slowly losing my mind to boredom.

Suddenly a knock came to my door. I paused the movie and lazily streached before heading to open it expecting it to be Grant or Garret informing me of shift change. Instead it was Elias looking exceedingly handsome in a tailored dark grey button up shirt that showed his broad shoulders and black slacks. the sent of expensive but tasteful after shave clung to him. His blonde hair, shaved on thr sides and long on top was pushed back and styled neatly. As my eyes took in the intense look on his face my heart sank.

"Katalena, I fear we have a very big problem."
