His 'Kitten', Abbie Davis [best books to read in life TXT] 📗

glaring the bastard in front of me.

“Your Grandfather,”He said pointing at my necklace,”That mark means that a wolf can’t hurt nor kill you. Didn’t you know that Kitten? Or why would you be wearing it now?”

I looked at it as I knew the stories behind it. Grandpa was a strong hunter and some say he hunted with the wolves. I had always wanted to be like that but could never find a way to. After that attack on me I never had the chance.

I shut my eyes hearing his voice tell me the tell over again. It warmed my heart hearing them.

“Once there was this huge bear that attacked me Amelia,”Grandpa said telling a hunting story,”It had to be ten feet tall with razor sharp claws.”

“Grandpa I know THAT story,”I would say every time,”Tell me the one about the mark again.”

“Well my little pup,”He said bouncing me a little before messing my hair up,”You should know that one. But I guess I’ll tell  you one more time.”

I grinned to let him know I was ready.

“This mark was passed down to the strongest of the family. One day I think that might be you. Well this mark means that we are one with the world. Even though some of us are scared and others fearless they don’t make the world go around. No it take one who can balance out being scared and being fearless.

“At one time many years ago, my great grandfather at that time era was walking in the woods. He soon came up on this maiden in the woods who was lost but yet found. She told him that she had lost her pack. Not knowing that she meant wolves he agreed to help her search for them.

“When they finally came up on the pack he realized what had happen. Men and wolves were never the type to get along like they did. But as a thanks from the alpha wolf for returning his child he was given the mark necklace and book. He thanked them for not eating him alive and went on his way.

“He was scared of them but not at the same time. He took the things and went home to his wife and kids. Every night though the pack would watch after the family for they were the pack’s human kin now. A kind of bond that grew to much more.”

“What happened next Grandpa!”I said bouncing on his lap.

“When the man son was old enough the mark was passed down and only went to those of the family that were worthy of it. Hence why your father doesn’t have it. I think one day it will go to you my pup. To change the world. And remember to call on our wolf kin you only need to howl for them. They will know our call for help.”

“Even if that means losing them?”I had asked at the time.

“We will never lose them,”He said kissing my forehead,”For we are family to them and them to us.”

“Yeah I know it,”I spat at him seeing what Grandpa saw in me now,”What’s that to you?”

“It means something different to wolves,”He said leaving,”And again you wouldn’t be able to break through those chains. Not even your ‘wolf kin’ can.”

He left me there as I tried to get out of them. I couldn’t no matter what. Maybe I can call for help...But that might put them into danger and I have never seen the size of their pack like this one. No I can’t put them into danger like that.

I looked at the chain as I got worried now. I guess this is punishment for running again. I sat on the bed thinking of anything that could help. But nothing useful came to my mind.

Chapter 11

I laid there as Garroth was asleep. I could sleep but he made me lay here with him. He had me in his arms against my wishes. I just want an answer on why this is only happening to me right now. I mean I didn’t do anything! Why must this happen to me?

I looked out the window at the moon. I was really pretty tonight. I got out of his arms and went to as close as I could to the window to look at the stars one last time. I got to the chair next to the window with the chain pulled tight. It was as far as I could go. He really isn’t letting me out of this house is he.

I watched the stars as it was peaceful right now. Everything seemed perfect at the moment, well except for the fact that I’m chained up in here. Like a caged animal.

“Hello Human kin,”Someone said scaring me,”Are you alright?”

“Who are you?”I whispered as she leaned on the window.

“Oh silly it’s me Kimmy!”She said as I noticed the same girl I called my friend.

“You kept this from me,”I said as she laughed.

“Sorry but your grandfather said it will be best till something like this happened,”She said as I rolled my eyes,”So how ya doin?”

“Can you get me out of here?”I asked watching Garroth,”Without him noticing I left again.”

“Hey a third time's the charm,”She said just staring at me,”BUT you said that wolves are mean and monsters.”

“I take it back.”

“I’m messing with you Melia. I know you had your reasons for saying that. Now how would like me to help you?”

“My parents!”I said in a whisper,”Do you think you can lead them here?”

“Really,”She said with the look,”Amelia my pack has members to spare. We can get you out of here.”

“No I don’t want to risk starting a war,”I said as she nodded,”Thanks Kimmy.”

“Yeah, Yeah, I know,”She said leaving,”Just hold on Amelia.”

“I’m chained up,”I said as she gave a laugh.

I watched her leave me there with hope again. I looked at the stars secretly thanking them for sending Kimmy to my rescue.

Soon arms went around me picking me up. I looked behind me to see Garroth was there. He placed me on his lap and rested his head on my shoulder.

“The stars are pretty aren’t they,”He said calmly.

“Yeah there are,”I snapped not wanting this.

“I can tell you who killed him you know,”He said gaining my attention,”Your Grandfather.”

“How do you?”I asked as he looked hurt at my venom words.

“I was there during it,”He said going into a trance it was like,”The night he died was dark and stormy. He was headed to you wolf kin pack. Trying to find a way to get rid of the wolf that had attacked you. He knew that you forgot about the stories he told you and that you were thinking they were just fake. So he took actions into his own hands.

“I followed him knowing that you cared for him deeply and loved him. He saw me but didn’t attack but just allowed me to follow. He went to turn back around when it happened. The beast attacked him.

“I went into action as your wolf kin came to help. But there was nothing we could do. The beast had won that fight. I knew I couldn’t let that happen so I brought him here to see if there was a way to heal him. But when we got here he was dead.”

“You let the monster get away!”I screamed at him.

“Your wolf kin went after him,”He said calmly,”I had to save your grandfather. We buried him just outside this house. The tombstone is here and everything. If you want to see it yourself.”

“I do,”I snapped as he got up and took the chain off of me.

He took my hand and lead me out and to the back of the house. There it stood. It was a huge tombstone but not just any old stone. It was beautiful.

The stone was marble with jewels in it writing his name out and the mark. It was as tall as me with a picture of him engraved into it. There was dirt, where I guess his body laid. Flowers around it that I use to pick with him in the summers. Rose, sun flowers, tulips, and spider lilies, all arranged around him with a little part open to the person.

“Grandpa,”I said in a whisper. I didn’t believe he was being truthful about it all. The reason you couldn’t find anything but the mark was for he was here. Waiting for...me. “You really did try to save him.”

“Why wouldn’t I?”Garroth said behind me,”I love you Amelia. And I just want you to be happy here. I tried so hard to make it that perfect little fairy tail for you. But I guess I should have asked you to come with me.”

“You did all of this for me,”I said in disbelief. I had only saw that he took me from my home and didn’t see what he done FOR me.

“Yeah,”He said looking a little embarrassed,”You’re my world. I don’t want to see you get hurt again by that wolf. The same one that pushed us into the river. I just want what’s best for you and everything.”

“Garroth I didn’t know,”I said feeling bad,”I never been in love before.”

“Well now you can be,”He said coming close to me,”I promise Amelia I won’t let anything happen to you. I promise that I’ll do anything I can to make you happy. I will go to the ends of the world for you. Please just give me a chance.”

I looked into his blues eyes and saw that he was being honest with me. He also was using my name instead of Kitten. I looked at the grave and wanted to fall into tears seeing it.

“You didn’t call me Kitten that time,”I said as he laughed.

“Yeah I noticed,”He said rubbing the back of his neck.

He came closer to me and our faces were only inches apart. He soon closed that space and kissed me. At first I didn’t kiss back but soon I did. Something just felt right to. It was also my first kiss.

It was sweet and short. He ended it all to soon in my opinion. He looked at me as if I was all he saw in the world. I looked one last time at the grave and threw myself into Garroth’s arms and broke down. I had to cry about this before it killed me.

“It’s alright,”He said petting my hair,”You’re alright my little Kitten.”
