Werewolf Compilations

Chapter 14

"Oh."

The room fell silent; I could hear the crickets outside. My heart was beating out of my chest, and I felt

like I couldn't breathe while staring down at my hands resting on my lap. I wanted to get up and run into

the forest, and not dare to come back.

My mate.

My mate is standing five feet away from me, and I can't move, I want to run into his arms, I want to be

his. But I can't move. Katy is sitting on the couch opposite of mine completely shocked, like everyone

else. I feel like I'm going to puke, the tension in the room was slowly suffocating me. I stood up and

looked him right in his piercing deep blue eyes; I did not run into his arms. Instead, I left the room. I

speed walked into the kitchen and took a deep breath; the air was fresh and untouched by emotion.

This isn't how it's supposed to be! He was supposed to run up to me, hug me, kiss me, but all he did

was stand there, emotionless, come on I'm not that bad!

Katy ran into the kitchen and when she saw me her face softened. "Anna?"

I didn't answer I just kept looking at the white tiled floor beneath my feet. A tear splattered on the tile—I

didn't even know that I was crying.

"Anna, what happened?" She asked soothingly while walking towards me as if she has known me long

enough to calm me down.

I kept my stare on the floor. I wish I would just disappear! I could hear Jackson's voice from the other

room, but I couldn't comprehend what he was saying.

"I-I should g-go," I mumble.

Katy ran to me and held me in her arms.

"No, no don't talk like that!" She then held me at arm's length, looking at the tear stains on my cheeks.

"I don't understand." I sigh.

Her face falls, and she drops her arms from my shoulders. "None of us do." I can hear the sorrow in her

voice.

Nicole enters the kitchen and walks towards us with a sorry frown. "Oh, honey." She wipes a tear from

my cheek.

"Is he going to reject me?" I softly ask, though, on the inside, I'm screaming it. Would he reject me?

Well, I already feel rejected.

"He won't even try because if he does, I'll beat him up," Katy warns severely.

I chuckle and rub off the rest of the tears from under my eyes; I have to be strong, even if he does

reject me I already lost my mom, dad, sister, and brother. What's one more person, but I feel if I lose

my mate, I might just crack. If I lose, my other half-life isn't worth living.

"Come on let's go back into the living room," Katy suggests. I guess it's time to face the music. What

am I going to say? What will he say? Well, hopefully not the word reject. I walk back into the living room

with Katy and Nicole at my side, but Tyler is not longer here.

"Where did he go?" Nicole asks Jackson and Michael.

"He said that he was going for a run." Jackson answers.

"He just found his mate, and he's going for a damn run!" Katy yells at the boys. novelbin

"That's what he said before he left out the door!" Michael yells back.

Did he leave? I could feel it, the emptiness inside me started to grow. I have to go after him—even if he

does reject me—I can feel my wolf howling at the thought of being abandoned.

"I'm going to go find that son of a-"

"No, I'll go find him, so we could at least talk about what happened." I cut Katy off.

She glances at the boys then back at me. "Are you sure, it can be dangerous out there with the rogue

sightings recently."

"Ya I'll be fine, I got Alpha blood." I joke, trying to lighten the mood.

"Okay just be careful."

I nodded then went out the front door, shutting it behind me. The crisp Autumn air blew past me

causing me to shiver. I walked across the driveway and followed a dirt path leading to the tree line.

I walked through the woods freezing, and over-emotional. I past tree by tree hoping he'd appear when I

passed the next, but he never did. I walk over and sit on a rock on the now faded pathway. I try to relax

and calm myself down, stupid werewolf emotions making me go crazy.

A gust of wind blows agents my face, but I can smell him, the musky, woodsy, sweet scent that drove

me crazy. I stand up and run following his addictive scent. I start to hear voices the further I run, I can

tell one of them is my mate. I start to see him through the trees with another man, I try and quietly

sneak up on them but of course, I step on a twig, and it makes a snap noise causing them to stop their

aggressive sounding conversation.

"Who's there!" The other man calls into the trees.

Tyler's eyes go wide, he knows I'm here, he can smell me.

"If you won't come out then I'll drag you out!" He calls again.

I peek out from behind a tree and suddenly come face to face with the unknown man. He grabs my arm

roughly and drags me out towards Tyler.

"Let go of her!" Tyler yells using his Alpha voice. "Or I swear I'll rip you to shreds!"

His grip tightens around my arm, and his nails dig into my skin causing me to whimper.

"You're a pretty little thing aren't you." The unknown man trails his hand over my cheek, I try to face

away, but he grabs my hair pulling it to face him. "I might just keep you."

Tyler lets out a deep growl. "Jaxton I warned you."

"Oh no, please don't tell me his your mate?" He asked me while chuckling darkly. I wince as his

canines emerge from his mouth. "Well, we can change that." He laughs.

I shut my eyes as his mouth comes closer and closer to my neck, but all of the sudden I feel him being

torn off me. I open my eyes and Tyler has him pinned against a tree.

"I warned you." Then Tyler snaps his neck, and Jaxton's body fall limp on the forest floor. I take a deep

breath and look at Tyler.

"Let's go." He commands. I don't think twice before I follow him back to the pack house. That man was

going to mark me; he was going to use me. I shutter at the thought of being marked by a complete

stranger. We walk back in silence, not even a sigh or a cough. He opens the door for me, and I walk

into immediately be hugged by Katy.

"Anna your arm, it's bleeding! What happened?" Katy questions. I guess we're instant best friends now.

"I ran into Jaxton, and he saw Anna, he was going to... Mark her," Tyler informs Katy tensely.

"What! That psychopath!" Katy screams. She turns back to me and has a closer look at the scratches

on my upper arm. "Did he grab you or something?"

"Uh, yeah," I answer blankly, trying not to seem over-emotional.

"Let's spray some disinfectant on it to get his pervert germs off you; I'll be right back." Katy left to grab

some disinfectant or whatever and I was left alone with Tyler. I faced away from him as my nerves

surfaced.

"You should stay away from me." He says, his voice husky. "I'm not good for you."

My heart cracks a bit at his words; he's going to reject me I know it. I turn to face him, but he was the

one looking away now.

"But you're my mate," I whisper.

He turns to face me, yet again his face shows no emotion.

"You're supposed to be good for me." I continue.

We stand silently looking into each other's eyes; I felt complete just being around him.

"I'm supposed to, but I'm not." He turned around and left the living room, leaving me with an aching

heart.
