Chapter 13: Don't Hurt Her

I hate fate! I hate destiny! How could the moon goddess force me into one of them?!

When I first got on the island, the first thing I anticipated was something flowery. The scent was so odd but it was the most pleasant thing I had ever perceived. My wolf whooped in excitement as he chanted " Who owns this smell."

I was glad at the sensation I just felt there but the war was more important. In the middle of the battle, my wolf howled in frustration, wanting to call out to and take outermost control.

We needed to finish what we came here for first.

Everything was almost going well until I held her until our eyes locked. How could I feel this indescribable feeling! I couldn't take it, I needed fresh air so I left.

I ran off to stay away from her so my wolf wouldn't make me do something terrible. Despite our hate, my wolf wanted her.

She was more beautiful than any other female we had ever set eyes on. I'm saying this not because of what I was thinking, but because she is beautiful. It was torture for me, my wolf and I fought over who would stay in control. I had so much to lose if I ever accepted her.

One, she won't ever accept us! We killed her people!

They killed ours first!… I shouted back.

That is just number one.

Number two, we destroyed her home.

Number three, she's one of the werecreatures eaters… I scoffed.

She's not… He snapped… She saved Riley and that makes her different.

Still the same thing. How would explain to everyone that our mate is one of them?

They all know how this thing works, they won't question it. Okay, maybe they will but we won't let them. It isn't our fault we destroyed her home.

That wouldn't change a thing.

They are the reason we are still looking for the Seven Rings of Mosel. I cannot be with her. I can't let her destroy things.

Kale, please go back. I can feel she's suffering, she's dying, they are killing her.

They won't disobey me, I gave an order.

Not a command! He shouted angrily… They will kill her!

They won't.

I itched my eyes, it has been hurting for days now. Even my ears, the entire body was aching.

My eyes and ribs were worse. It was like I was punched, all my ribs felt broken and my eyes were swollen.

My body also itched, like a faint whip pain was there. For three days – in three mornings – my body was on fire. Maybe the moon goddess was punishing me for destroying her tribe.

Stop deceiving yourself! That's what it feels like!

Listen Killian, and don't interrupt me again… I snapped.

Then kill her! I dare you! If you kill her, we lose a huge part of our trust and if she dies, The chief warrior's wife won't forgive you.

I hope you remember that? You are already feeling it, the weakness. When we close our eyes, we see death.

Kale, we are dying because she is dying, go back.

No.

You are just too stubborn!

Adamant… I corrected.

The ringing of my phone abruptly cut off my mental conversation with my wolf.

I huffed and glared at the phone. I can swear I warned them not to call me. I furiously ran across the room to the table and picked up the call without looking at the caller ID.

'What is it,' I snapped.

'Kaley,' Rick's voice broke in.

My wolf whimpered, we hate to see or hear him cry.

'Big boy, why are you crying?'

'You promised me, you vowed to me that they wouldn't hurt My Vanessa, you promise.' He wailed.

'Vanessa, who's Vanessa?'

'The lady that saved us, my future wife.'

" Huh.. did you just say your future wife, I guess you must be drunk." Well, that's the least of my worries.

Oh, they wouldn't hurt her, huh?… My wolf said sardonically.

'' She's is going to die because of you, they are killing her. Her face, body…

She lost her eyesight! You promised me!'.

Anger surged through my body as my eyes turned black, my wolf take over. I crushed my phone in my hand, surrendering to the change.

Killian roared in my head before moving our bodies.

We ran out of the cottage, shifting as we ran. Our mighty paws hammered on the ground, breaking twigs, crushing plants and every small creature. Energy pumped through our veins, the energy to get back to the pack before our mate dies. I could feel my spirit being dragged away, it was killing me but I had to get there soon enough. Killian who wanted to save her more than I did run all night, not stopping for even a drink. We were getting exhausted, but it didn't matter, we had to get there. Before dawn, we crossed our boulders.

'' Zoe, have clothes ready for me before I get to the gate of the house.' I sent a message to my beta via the mind link.

'Are you back? I thought you said you'll be back…'

'Forget what I said,' I snapped. 'Just bring me something to fucking put on!'

'Yes alpha,' my nostrils flared. I slowly brought into a jog. The guard wolves bowed as I strutted past them.

When we got to the gate, Zoe was there holding a pair of black well-polished shoes, black jeans and a shirt. Ironically, I would be wearing such a colour in a situation like this. 'Alpha,' he bowed. I shook my head. He looked away as I shifted.

One thing I spent three years learning how to do; wear my clothes between a shift.

I snatched my jean trousers from him and wore them before I changed completely. I took the shirt and slipped it on. 'Have you been checking on the new slave?' I asked as I wore my shirt.

'Should I have checked?' He asked confusedly. I gritted my teeth. I didn't tell him to. I quietly wore my shoes, mentally calming my wolf.

'I'll be back,' I ran into the house, sniffing the air to find her.

I can't smell her!

Calm down Killian, breathe… I pleaded, closing my eyes. Wheezing with my eyes still closed, I focused my attention on picking out all the unwanted scents, separating them and fishing out hers.

'Kaley!' My eyes snapped open. 'You came back!' Rick was running to me.

'Where's she?'

'They took her to the dining hall!' He shouted.

" They?..

Killian growled in anger.
