22. Run
"Hey, would you like to join me for a walk?" Quentin asked as Guen looked at him surprised.
" Ok. " That's all she said as she followed him out of the house .
Quentin begin to walk into the woods, Guen hesitated remembering the wolf , the alpha as Sinthia called him. What if she was his mate and he hurt Quentin if he saw them together?
" Aren't you coming? " Quentin stopped his pace and turned to face her.
" Do we have to go there? " Guen asked anxious.
" Don't be afraid. As long as you are with me no one will hurt you. " He smiled sweetly at Guen as he took her hand dragging her into the woods.
She loved the idea of him holding her hand. When he looked at her, when he touched her, when he was close to her she forgot all the problems, she forgot her father.
But everytime she felt closer to Quentin she reminded herself of what a monster her father was and how he would hurt Quentin and his family.
"We're here." Quentin smiled as he took her to the exact same spot that alpha , the wolf had taken her.
She looked around anxious.
"What is it? " Quentin asked her noticing her condition.
"Can we leave please?" Guen begged with her eyes .
"I told you not to worry, I'm here I will protect you."
"I am not worried about myself. I'm worried about you."
"About me?"
"Yes. Maybe you know the legend of the wolves, I talked to Sinthia she said everyone here knows. There is this important wolf, Alpha , the highest in rank. I kind of have met him, don't ask me how. I know it's crazy, but maybe I am his mate. And if he sees us, he may hurt you. Even though he is peaceful with me at least."
Guen pouted as she finished her speech while Quentin was looking at her amused with a huge smile on his face.
'She is worried about me. She cares about me. ' Quentin thought .
"I'm serious Quentin." Guen spoke again and he loved how his name tasted in her tongue .
"Alpha can't hurt me Guendolin."
"How so?" She asked curious.
"Let just say that me and him are close."
"In what sense?"
"In the sense that we go along well, we understand each other. And we have something in common apart from you. " Quentin smirked as Guen widened her eyes understanding what he said. Then she lowered her head with her cheeks blushing .
" Guendolin? " Quentin tasted her name as he put two fingers under her chin to raise her head. He always liked to call her by her full name.
He raised her head and their eyes collided like two commets at each other. Quentin was about to kiss her as he leaned down but Guen stopped him taking a step away.
" I can't do this. " Guen sighed as her chest raised and fell down. Quentin could hear her heartbeat and her breathing fastened.
" Don't you like it when I kiss you? " Quentin asked to mock her but with sad eyes. He thought maybe she wasn't that attracted to him.
"No, it's not that. I just can't." Guen looked everywhere but him.
"Then what is it?" Quentin took steps further while Guen stepped back until her back reached a tree.
"It's complicated." She answered refusing to look him in the eye .
"Explain it to me." Quentin whispered near her ear sending shivers over her body , he saw goosebumps on her skin and smirked proudly.
"You don't know me. I... I have problems of my past that hunt me and I.. I can't let you in my mess. " She stuttered.
" I think it is too late about that. Your mess is my mess now. " Quentin whispered again near her ear. Damn how much he wanted to mark her there .
He planted little kisses on her check until he reached her lips. He caressed her lips enjoying every touch he recieved from her as his hands moved sinfully over her body. Guen pulled him by the back of his neck running her hands on his hair , that made Quentin deepen the kiss. Nothing existed around them, it was as if they were parts of the same body yarning to find each other, and when they met it was difficult to stay away from each other.
' My twin flame ' , Guendolin thought.
'My mate. Mine'. Quentin thought .
His lips went to her neck as he found her soft spot, his canines became visible, he was about to bite her. It took all the strength to pull away from Guen and send himself far from her . He was holding into another tree with his back on her, trying to calm himself down.
Guendolin wasn't speaking, she stood there quitly trying to figure out what happened as she was barely breathing.
"I'm sorry. I thought I couldn't stop myself. I don't want to hurt you.". Quentin spoke with his back on her.
Guen thought maybe he was horny and that is why he moved away that way. Her face was red. She never experienced that feeling before.
The moment Quentin turned to face Guen, an wolf appeared near Guen, he runed fast to hide her behind his back. She thought she imagined how fast he moved.
The wolf was grey, not as big as Alpha but he growled menacingly.
"Quentin we should run. Alpha, alpha can help us." She spoke more to herself then shouted looking for the wolf she met.
"Alpha! Help! Alpha where are you!"
Quentin closed his eyes into her desperate calling, if he transformed right there she would know the truth. But if he didn't in his human form it was impossible to beat the rogue wolf .
"When I say run, you run ok?" Quentin whispered to her kissing her forhead.
"But you.."
"I'll be ok. You run in the direction of home, tell my father or beta Dalton about this, as soon as you see one of them."
Guen noded , as her brain was trying to process, 'beta Dalton'.
"Run! " Quentin shouted as she runned away from them keeping her head back to Quentin who jumped in front of the wolf ripping all the clothes he was wearing and transforming into a wolf.
Guen stopped and turned her full body to see him. It was alpha, it was the same wolf who saved her. Quentin was alpha? She stared as her tears washed her face. She saw how Quentin fought with the other wolf bitting him on the neck.
