Chapter 10
The human was well hidden behind the bushes but I picked him up quite easily. He was hiding stealthily and observed Alexia and Zane from a distance. I waited, hoping the stupid human would turn and leave, but he suddenly took something out and aimed at them. It was a weapon.
My reflexes kicked in and in a split second, I was on the other side of lawn, pinning the human down on the ground before he had a chance to attack. Alexia and Zane shouted my name when I zoomed past them clearly confused but I was too preoccupied. I was still in my wolf form, my teeth vibrating from the deep snarl, ready to rip the human’s head.
“What are you doing?” Alexia said to me, horrified. She came up to me and tried to push me off the human but of course I wouldn’t budge. “He can’t breathe!” she shouted and I noticed he was turning into different shades of red so I let go of the human. I changed back to my human form but pinned him down just in case he would escape.
“Are you OK?” Alexia said to the human but he looked at her as if he had just seen a ghost. He tried to pull out his weapon but I kicked his hand before he had a chance and took his human weapon. The human screamed in pain and Alexia scolded me again. Zane put his hand on her shoulder, trying to calm her down and she instantly relaxed at the touch of her brother. Anger shot through me, surprising me. Was it jealousy? I was officially crazy.
“Do you even know what this is?” I yelled at her, holding the gun in front of her face. It wasn’t just a gun. It was a special gun that held silver bullets, one of the few things that can injure us and possibly kill us if it hits a vital organ. “He’s a werewolf hunter,” I spat out the word, disgusted. I should’ve been more responsible and took him out sooner so Alexia wouldn’t have to be involved in this.
“Who sent you?” Alexia said, ignoring my outburst.
“No one,” he grunted and tried to look unafraid but I saw through his mask.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
“Don’t mess with me kid. Answer her,” I growled even though he wasn’t a kid at all. He looked somewhere between Alexia’s and my age with dirty brown hair coming down his face probably from days of traveling. If he came traveling this far and to this specific house, then had a reason to be here. To kill me.
“Do whatever you want. I’m not going to say anything else,” he said harshly at me but continued to stare at Alexia the whole time. What was his problem? She was my mate. Again the jealously was driving me crazy. I didn’t like this new feeling I seemed to have.
“Just take him prisoner Luce,” Jace said, coming up behind me. I barely noticed him coming up behind me. He held a smirk on his face and looked very interested. “I’ll take him to the dungeon downstairs. It hasn’t been used since the old days. How fun would that be,” Jace thought out loud and winked at Alexia. When his mind was set on something, he definitely never let it go. It was probably wise to put the human there until we got more information from him anyways so I agreed with Jace.
“Take him, Jace,” I said, letting the human enough space to get up but not enough to make a clear escape. He seemed to have figured it out too because he got up without running but continued to stare at Alexia. She looked a little frightened and shocked but she didn’t dare look away. Zane also seemed interested in our newfound prisoner.
Jace took him by the arms and dragged him away. All the way to the house, he continued to stare. Alexia and Zane looked like they had just seen a ghost. I saw them holding each other’s hand tightly as if sending a secret message that was only meant for them.
“What’s up with you two?” I asked confused.
“T-T-Travis,” Alexia whispered.
