I wasn't always like this, Cama seeney [microsoft ebook reader txt] 📗

asked angrily, what was I going to do kill everyone in my room and escape with my son before anyone noticed that’s stupid, wolves can talk to one another so why can’t they? 'She was thinking that killing everyone in the room was stupid back down Gabe' Liam said looking at me weirdly, Stop reading my mind or I’ll read yours. I thought in his general direction.

‘That’s the smartest thing I’ve heard all day, let’s go princes’ He stepped closer still I just looked squarely at Liam – he was after all the biggest problem. He could call off Gabe, I doubt Gabe could subdue Liam.

 

You can mind read?  He asked with a startled look on his face

Of course, I'm an Alpha. I can compel, mind read, suggest, heal my warriors, I can pretty much get into any other wolves mind.

 

I could almost see the direction his thought were leading in. 'Don't make me do that, there guilty we all know it. Don't make me be the one to condemn them.' He nodded once and smiled once before leaving, dragging Gabe with him. 'Well that was lovely, I think I need a run after that, Caiden wonna come?' Dustin asked. I was really, really excited then not so 'I've already proven I can beat you' I said with a sad face. 'Erm we have your kid, I doubt you’ll do anything stupid. Plus Liam already said you thought killing us was stupid.’ Dustin told me drily. I jumped up squealing, I kissed Blake on the cheek before running to where a bag of my clothes were stored, and they had appeared there sometime today. I quickly rummaged though until I found a sports bra, three quarter length jogging bottoms and a white tee-shirt covered in the face of a howling wolf.

 'Where are we running?' I asked Dustin as he led me to the outside world. 'Well our compound is large, so our land is to hide us.' He said as we left the extravagant front door. Surrounding this ancient home was a beautiful, dark and dangerous forest. This forest, much like the home, looked as if someone hadn't touched it in years. Like a preserved land should, I could hear the animals in the forest scurry before we even entered.

 

Foot fall after foot fall we emerged further and further into the dark, abandoned forest. It was so beautiful, so untouched. The dying logs on the ground were left to degrade naturally, I bushed them with my fingertips jumped over there unstable heap.  The wind rushed through my unbound hair, I hadn't something to fix the problem. I landed knees bent crushing the leaves before sprinting forward again. I didn't need music today, the forest seemed to breathe a beat that I could run to. The scent of years and years of game crashed my senses with its mouth-watering scent. I shifted quickly, still running I gave chase to the nearest hair. It was slow, uncertain of my new scent. I quickly caught the fat little juicy hair, I could honestly say its blood was made of the finest wine as it ran down my throat and across my face. I stopped, half to let Blake catch up and half to eat. The sound of flesh ripping filled my ears, as my stomach growled for a bigger taste of this treat.

 

Its flesh was fat filled instead of chewing horrible muscle I gnawed and gobbled the whole hair in seconds. An amused chuckle stopped me mid chew. I looked round at Blake uncertainly. 'Hungry, were we?' He asked smiling, he slowly walked up to a newer by tree and rested as I finished the rabbit more slowly this time.  When I stood, he pushed off the tree and began jogging in one direction but my short bark stopped him. I could smell something in the underbrush, he turned looking at me confused. I twizzled my ears around trying to pick up nearby sounds but couldn't hear anything. I lifted my nose to the wind, there I smelt it again! I growled quietly confused. Dustin was looking at me and then something behind me confused, my hair stood on end – we were being trailed but that wasn’t the problem. I shifted my weight, behind us Gabe stood looking at me oddly I shook my head and started forward smelling the air. I growled before springing forward, whoever it was they were close. Really, really close.

 

‘Shit, Caiden slow down!’ Gabe half whispered quickly running after me, I checked my speed so I was only a little in front of them but I came into the clearing well before them.

 

 

Millie stood alone in the middle of the clearing. I knew it was her, I caught her scent miles back, but it smelt different off. Her eyes bugged out of her head like she was in pain. I knew immediately something was wrong. How could she follow me here? She didn't have the power to summon me, did she?

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

 My farther started forward, he held my dearest friend in place with an Alpha’s command. I had to do something. ‘Millie, swear allegiance to me, I swear you will be safe here!’

‘I wish to become one in your pack, I swear my life as well as my wolf’s: blood, body and soul is yours to command.’

'Traitorous little....’ he sighed before continuing, shaking poor little Millie. She was always compassionate and sorry for me, but never had she been hit in her life, he whole body shook with fear she was free of his commands but not free of his hands. I would have given mine just to save her, and I would have too if Liam’s hench man hadn’t been holding me back. 'What are you going to do when the boy no longer needs you? When he could break your spine with a flick of his tail. Grow up kid and think long term.' His voice became the fatherly one I have always craved. The dad who made the worst pancakes in the word, but because he made them the lumpy batter didn't matter even when dry flower exploded from the half burnt batter. It was the best because he made it. I took an involuntary step forward.

 

'You would always tell me to grow up 'stop being a child.' Guess what all I needed was you dad. Ever thought of that, you weren’t the only one who misses mum, I lost a mum my brother and farther that day. Maybe after all this you are the one who needed to grow up and stop being a child. Only children hit out when upset – I thought we taught children not to flash their fangs farther' I spat venomously, 'Are you jealous dad, that he’ll be the one to quote break my spine and not you? Tired of being a childlike monster want me to act scared? Would that make you feel better? Unhand Millie now!' I asked angrier than before, this anger filled range made me want to charge forward even more, but I knew deep down that if I charged there was little chance I would live. Little chance Leo would have a mother.

 

'Awh sweetie aren’t you even curious as to how we found you? You do know you have a tracker implanted in your arm right? You were always a little flight risk. Even better news though is that our plan worked, we've been working for years on this one. Your mother didn't die like I told you, she too was a traitor, and she died trying to save some stupid pathetic dragon kid. She gave you up for this scum. They told me you couldn't be trusted, and they were right. And now you've lead us right to them. In a matter of hours thousands of wolves will be here to tear you all limb from limb. Darling we have you to thank, you have always fallen after your mother for predictability.’

 ‘Are you just jealous she left you for someone she loved more?’ Shouted Dustin, always on my side.

I vibrated with the growl that left my human lips, pressure built up in my chest. I could do nothing, I had done all this. Something in me fell into place, I no longer felt broken.  I felt dangerous, someone who shouldn't be fucked with. I didn't feel broken, no I felt like a pipe under too much pressure it was going to break something else as it exploded. Never had I been so angry, he killed my mom. She just like me had helped the dragons, difference was that I was punished for breathing not being a traitor, no that came later. A much deserved later. 'Bring them and I will destroy you traitor.' I was fine with being predictable, I was not fine with being made as a skape goat. ‘Millie come to me.’ I commanded her. She clawed at his face and tried to break free but he quickly caught her in a choke lock. ‘Unless you bring Sol here in an hour I will break her neck.’ He shouted at me as Gabe picked up my buckling body and carried me back.

 

…

The forest no longer seemed calm but in disarray. The poor small beasts living within cried out, many being hunted at once. We truly were under attack. And it was all my fault. I needed this stupid thing out of my arm now. I scratched at my arm again and again so deep it began to bleed heavily on Gabe’s shit. Dustin gently took my hand ‘Dan will get it out and search for anything else on your person’ He told me reassuringly, though he did not let go of my hand.

 

As soon as we entered the house exploded with sound. ‘Damn did she find out he was tracking them and attack him?’ Asked what I assumed was Daniel he smelt like owl not dragon. I didn’t respond I was too struck on Liam he was busy scanning my brain for what happened.

 

Slow down your making me dizzy! I complained quietly as he sped through my memory without my permission.

 

Right, yes sorry. Tell me what happened.

 

We met my farther, he has Millie. He wants Sol for her, if we don’t hell kill her. He’s brining all the counties wolves here. I have a tracker in my arm maybe I don’t know. They found us Liam. They found me. My-my mother she help-ped a dragon they-they thought I would too. He-he killed her. This is all my fault.

 

Tears threatened to stream down my face in an endless heap. ‘Hey shh it’ll be okay – we dragons are made of solid stuff. Aid, T, Caleb go see if you can find Carter he shouldn’t be out there alone right now. Levi, Dustin go find Leo and Jesse now! Take them to Caiden’s room it’s got reinforced windows – more secure. Yhea her room is best. Doc – err Dan see if you can get that fucking thing out of her. Scan some shit see if there’s anything else. And Caiden calm down you sound like you’ve ran a marathon.’ I laughed nervously as Doc – I mean Dan took me down into his lair.

 

I led on some
