Chapter 4: An old foe, keeping her safe!

“What?” He exclaims.

“That’s my name, make sure the K is pronounced but the g is also pronounced as a z so it’s Akgzna” I tell him.

Tell me your real name”

“What do you mean” I decide to act innocent and pout.

“You can’t possibly tell me your name is…”

“Akgzna”

“It’s ridiculous…”he points out bluntly.

As I’m about to give him a snarky reply,I hear a growl behind us. TF?!

“Stay behind me” my mate goes in front of me and looks around.

“Maybe it was…shit!” A black wolf jumps in front of us. My mate growls at it.

“Shift” he says in an Alpha tone. Oh double shit! “I said shift” he says with more authority.

The wolf goes behind a tree and shifts into a man, probably 28.

“It’s a pleasure to see you again with company, your majesty” the man says mockingly

“What are you doing here? I’m warning you… leave!” My mate says in a low threatening voice.

“I can’t leave now when such a beauty is with you, how about we share?”

“Unlike you, I would never do such with my mate so stay with your vile thoughts and leave, Edward”

“You wound me, your majesty” Edward says with fake sadness.

“If I were trying to wound you, you wouldn’t be breathing, now leave”

“Hmmm…let me think this through…ok, I’ll leave but I’m not sure about them” he points behind us where 5 brown wolves were growling at us. Kinda seemed like they had rabies.

“So the plan is simple, you run back to the pack house and don’t look back” my mate says lowly.

“I’m not leaving you here, it’s either you come with me or I fight with you”

He sighs before nodding.

“Fine” he runs towards the wolves and jumps, he shifts in midair and lands of one of the wolves, snapping his neck in the process.

I look at the two wolves charging at me and also shift, I run towards a tree and one of them bumps into it, amateur! The other one runs faster and almost bites my tail, I turn around and catch him by surprise, I bite his leg, I can taste the coppery taste of blood.

I hear more bones snapping and look at my mate who was snapping the necks of the last two wolves.

I’ve always hated that sound, it’s just…I can’t explain it. It’s weird. As I’m about to run to him, I feel intense pain on my lower abdomen, another wolf came out of nowhere and bit me. I yelp in pain, my mate looks at me and Edward takes the chance to charge at him and bite his leg… that’s the last thing I remember before the darkness…

I wake up to hearing my mate and Sarah talking to each other worriedly.

“I thought Edward was gone forever, how could I have missed this?” Sarah mutters to herself.

“It’s not your fault, I was careless and didn’t watch out for her and now Edward escaped with that rogue that bit her. Sarah, I’ll be back to visit but right now, I have to go back to my pack. I’m worried that Edward will attack there and I have to be there, I hope you understand”

Sarah kept quiet before humming in agreement. I feel arms around me before the sparks come back. I think he’s carrying me. I’m too tired to even open my eyes but I try to. At first I’m blinded by the light but my eyes adjust to it. I look at my mate who is carrying me.

“Where are you taking me?” I ask him hoarsely as he places me in his car.

He remains silent until he sits in the driver’s seat.

“I’m taking you home” he clenches his fists on the steering wheel as he drives.”I’ll wake you up when we reach there, sleep now”

I hum lazily before allowing sleep take over…

I don’t know how long I’ve been sleeping but all I know is that I’m in an unfamiliar white room with creme curtains and silk blankets. What’s going on? I look around to see anything familiar but – Click! The door opens, I pretend to sleep as the person enters, I cannot recognize the person’s scent. She smells like lavender and mint, I know it’s a ‘she’ because of the clicking of her heels.

“It’s quite evident you’re okay, you look pale. Wake up and take a shower, there’s some lunch waiting for you downstairs” the lady says in a soothing voice, I decide to open my eyes.

She looks…wow! She looks like a super model or something. She’s short but her features…she looks elegant and has a calming aura around her. She smiles sweetly at me, the door opens once more. My mate comes in wearing a concerned look.

“Where am I?” I ask the two in front of me.

“You’re in Lee’s house” the woman replies.

Lee? Who’s that? I think my confusion is evident because she laughs and looks at me in amusement.

“Your mate, and my son, Liam Montez” her son! She looks like she’s in her early 30s!

“Your son?Not your brother?” I ask her once more. Are my ears deceiving me?

“I’m 46 this year, Liam is 24. Speaking of which, what’s your name?”

Oh crap! I look at Liam who smirks at me.

“Azkgna”

“Now you’re just a liar! Did you forget your own name, Akgzna?” Liam leans on the wall

“I need water please” I look away from him.

I hear him chuckling, stupid me!
