Chapter 49

When we stopped the car we saw Jacob and Adrian running towards us, looking panicked
“What’s wrong?” I asked them
“A young she-wolf went on a run and got surrounded by rogues. We went to help her” Jacob answered me
“Is anyone hurt?” I asked
Jacob gulped “No, We all managed to get back but there are two wolves we can’t seem to find and aren’t answering us”
“Who?” I asked my mind going on all the people I knew, my heart racing.
“Xavier and Ethan”
Ethan’s P.O.V.
I threw the wolf I was fighting aside and he landed and didn’t stand back up. I couldn’t believe the rogues actually had the guts to go on my land.
I heard a girlish a girlish scream and I spotted the thirteen year old that got surrounded trying to hide as three rogues surrounded her. I ran towards her and got to the first rogue just as Xavier got to the other two. We fought them off with ease and I managed to kill the wolf I was fighting.
The girl was still whimpering on the ground and I motioned for her to leave seeing as there were no other wolves other than the two Xavier now was fighting, she nodded and left. Now there was only me and Xavier with the two rogues.
I immediately jumped in and took one of the rogues on and soon enough we had them both on the ground. I was about to shift back when another rogue came out of nowhere and lunged a Xavier biting him on his side making Xavier howl before he pushed him off. I immediately lunged at the left rogue and bit him straight on the neck, he struggled against my firm hold until he went limp. I let him go and scanned the area for more rogues, giving myself a satisfactory nod before heading over to Xavier.
I found Xavier on the ground in human form, bleeding heavily from his cut. I shifted to my human form and pulled up my jeans.
“Okay just stay still I’ll tell the others where we are” I said and tried to communicate with my pack but strangely I couldn’t
“Already tried and I couldn’t” Xavier said “Somethings definitely wrong.
I sighed and looked over at his injury “Then they’ll find us soon” I tore off a piece of my pants “But until then we need to stop the bleeding, this should be starting to heal already but it isn’t I don’t know why.”
“I think it’s something to do with the air. Didn’t you notice a weird scent? And that’s why most of them left after a while, so it won’t affect them, just us”
I sniffed the air and found he was right “Bastards” I said “We’ll deal with them later right now we need to take care of this” I said applying pressure to the wound.
“Help me up, and we’ll walk there” Xavier said trying to stand up. I pushed him back down
“Are you crazy? you wouldn’t make it, you’r not healing wolf now.” I said “We’ll wait for them they’re bound to find us” Read full story at
“Then you go and get them I’ll wait” Xavier said groaning as I put more pressure on his injury
“And leave you here to die if the rogues come back?” I asked “We’ll just wait”
Xavier lifted his head and looked at me doubtfully “Why are you doing this?” he asked and I stared at him confused
“Doing what?” I asked and he took a breath, wincing at the pain on his side
“Helping me. I know you hate me. I am your mate’s boyfriend in the end” he took a breath “don’t say it wouldn’t be easier for you if I died”
I couldn’t help but be offended, did he really think I was that low? “One: I’d never take advantage of your moment of weakness if I wanted to kill you. I’d want to do it in a fair fight.”
“Two: I respect you as alpha, you’re a good leader for your pack. And no matter how much I hate you for being with my mate, I wouldn’t want your pack to lose it’s alpha”
“Three: I don’t involve my personal business in my alpha ones. We have a common enemy and you were hurt in battle so I help. That’s the right thing to do”
I sighed “And four. The most important reason actually; having you dead would hurt Lily too much. I don’t deny that she loves you, no matter how much it kills me. And I won’t have her grieving her best frie Boyfriend” I corrected myself, clearing my throat. I looked at him with determination “But don’t get me wrong, I’m still going to give my god damned best to make her be mine. And if you hurt her” I chuckled dryly “That injury is going to be the least of your worries”
Ethan? Come on Ethan answer us already I heard Keith’s voice in my head
“I can hear my pack” I told Xavier, he shook his head
“I still can’t hear mine” he said and I nodded
“It’s because your injured”
Yeah Keith I said We found a few rogues that stayed that’s why we didn’t go back with the rest of you
