Chapter 3

Once I open them I find myself across the room and smack face first into the wall. Then I look at his bed and find myself sitting on it. I start to say hey I'm getting the hang of it but I look towards the ceiling and find myself falling once again.

I find myself being caught by two very strong arms. I look at them and am amazed at how big and rock hard they are. I then look at his face for the 2nd time since meeting him. And I am awestruck at how perfect he is. And werewolves are all perfect. But this man is more perfect than perfect. He is a god.

As I think that I see him have amusement on his face.

"What?"

"Oh nothing. It's just umm when werewolf meets their mate they can both hear each other's thoughts. But since you are human you can't hear my thoughts. I hear everything you are thinking of me right now."

"Oh, okay. Umm. Well then that's awkward. Umm. What are you thinking of me."

"I'm thinking how unfair it is that I've got my clothes off and you don't."

To not be awkward I give him a snared remark as he puts me down and goes a few feet away.

"Umm. I'm not the one who ripped out of their clothes. And I'm not ready to umm. Go there yet with a relationship if that's what you're saying. I've been running from the supernatural for so long now with so many close calls and I'm not sure you're not gonna change your mind and kill me."

He suddenly looks very upset by my words. Then he gets this mischievous grin on his face and starts stalking towards me.

I can't help the fear he gives me. I think he's trying to look sexy or something. But I've had wolves look at me the same way then turn around and try to kill me. I've killed 3 wolves each with me barely escaping with my life.

His face makes a horrified expression as I forget he can hear my thoughts.

I then feel like I've done something wrong. And if I know anything about wolves or werewolves you be very submissive towards an angry wolf, especially an alpha, so the chances of them killing you are lower.

I lean against the wall and slide down and curl up into a ball on the floor. Trying to get myself to stop an anxiety attack from occurring. I don't usually get anxiety attacks unless I kill something to defend myself.

Then he speaks

"Layla don't submit to me."

"Why?" I squeak out.

"Because you are the same rank as I am. And I will not have you being afraid of me. I want to make you feel love. And I want to make you feel loved by all 200 pack members here. Which by the way are dying to meet you."

"Two hundred?! And why me? I'm no one. I'm a mistake in evolution. And now I'm being hunted for it. I have nothing. They slaughtered my family, not just my parents. Anyone related to me disappeared. And now I know where. I didn't try to help them. I just ran and didn't look back." I sob.

"My anxiety attack is on the verge of happening." I whisper to him

I suddenly hear his bones cracking and reforming into his wolf.

I go to look up but he lays his head on mine causing me to look back down under the weight. I am sitting on the floor on the verge of an anxiety attack and he's not going to let me even look at him.

My breathing suddenly becomes ragged and I can't catch my breath.

He suddenly grabs me by biting down on my skinny waist a little bit. But not enough to even start to pierce my skin. He's so careful with me. Like I am some beautiful fragile thing he doesn't want to break. He hops up on his huge as fuck bed. And puts me in the middle while he goes and lays down at the headboard. He then looks at me and then to his side. Like he wants me to lay down on him and use him as a pillow.

"No, I uhh. I'm fine thank you though Bentley."

He suddenly got a pouting look on his face. And I hear his voice in my head for the first time due to him opening some link or something.

"Either you lay on me or I'll lay on you!" He says with a half serious half daring tone.

"Umm. Why? I'm fine right here I'll just pull the blanket up and wish myself away."

As soon as I say that he is up in a flash blocking me from getting the blanket.

"Ugh I'm cold let me get the blanket you stupid furry wolf-man!"

I hear his voice in my head again.

"That's right I'm furry. Meaning I'm warm. And I'm a werewolf so I'm naturally warm. Humans are average 98° while we are average 105°."

"Damn that's hot... wait not like that. Well yes like that. Well.. Ugh." I say and plop on the bed right before him on purpose so I don't lay on him.

I then feel his teeth on my wrist. And suddenly he's pulling me by my wrist with his wolfie mouth. And a stupid wolfie grin.

"Ugh your face reminds me of a toddler getting his way from his mom and he now has that special toy that every little boy wants."

I suddenly hear his bones start to crack.

"Umm hello. Wolfie you are not going back into your human form. I told you I didn't want to lay on you. Because it's my weakness. My friend used to have a german shepherd that let me sleep on him and it was so comfortable and I would sleep so well that her parents had to pry me off of him. Please don't take my wolfie from me."

"Wait, did I say that? Sorry Bentley I'm so tired. I've slept about 1 to 2 hours every night for the past 5 months. If i sleep now you won't be able to get up and do whatever you werewolves do" I say this and start to get up.

He suddenly growls at me and scoots me closer to him and snuggles his head to my collarbone area.

"Did you just growl at me?" I say and try to get up to look at him but his giant wolf paw goes to my back and pushes me down causing me to make a hmph sound.

He then speaks to me again. Which is getting really creepy.

"If I can't take your wolfie away. You can't take my human away." He all but growls in my mind.

"Ugh fine. You'll regret it though. I snore in my sleep."

"You think that's bad. I find things to eat in my sleep." He says in my mind and looks at me with a shit eating grin.

"Welp. Well I'm off the menu. And remember. I can teleport. And get to the top of a tall tree within 10 seconds. So try to eat me and you'll have a human to convince to come back."

He growls and shifts me so I'm laying on his belly and all his paws are on my back. He then licks my collarbone.

"I want to mark you so bad." He says in my mind.

"What's that mean? And will it hurt?"

"Umm we can talk about it tomorrow. I'm so comfortable with my mate snuggling with me. That I could be a werebear and hibernate."

"Those are real too? Oh god are mermaids and unicorns real too!?"

"I'll tell you everything tomorrow. Now go to sleep before I decide to change back into my human form and make you sleep with me like that."

"Umm. This is fine. I'll sleep now. But what happens if I have to pee in the middle of the night. What if I teleport into a tree again and you aren't there to save me?"

He then moves his head up with his snout right in my face and stares in my eyes and speaks through my mind.

"Layla. The minute you move out of my grasps I'll be awake. I'll be on guard for every possible threat to you. As long as you are with me. You are no longer in danger. It's my job to keep you safe and if anyone or thing puts you in harm's way. They'll meet my chompers." He says with a big wolf yawn showing off his needle sharp teeth.

"Okay big tough cujo. I believe you. But you better live up to that promise. I want to go back to school."

"Yes Layla. I forgot to tell you. You'll be going back to school tomorrow. Although you missed the 1st day. But I know the principle due to me going there and being a senior also. He's human but knows of our kind due to him seeing me. But he's sworn to not tell anyone so he's left alive and well. Now goodnight Layla."

"Goodnight Bentley." Only response I get is him holding me tighter and growling in a happy tired tune."

The next morning

I wake up not entirely remembering where I am. But the first thing I notice when I wake up. Is the giant fur coat I have on top of me. Yes the giant werewolf is bigger than a horse. Is on top of me sleeping. Weirdly I'm not being crushed by his weight but I can't move an inch out from underneath him.

I start to wiggle out from underneath the beast. But I stopped when he started to wake up.

"Can you get your huge self off of me? I need to pee."

Bentley just lifts his head in his wolf form and just looks at me. Then he shakes his head at me and snorts.

"What's so funny? You ass? Let me up!"

Bentley then just looks at me and does this weird wolf grin/smile and lays his giant wolf head on my chest which ends with his snout on my chin.

"Ugh you're so lucky you're an alpha and somehow my mate. But if you'd done this to me before everything happened. I would grab your balls and rip them off."

He gets up so fast in his wolf form and goes out through a door that has a smaller door cut in it allowing someone in wolf form access outside and inside.

I am about to get up but then Bentley comes rushing through the door still putting his pants on telling me to wait. That he doesn't want me to teleport and get hurt.

"If you didn't want me hurt, why the hell did you sleep with your whole wolfie body on me last night. I could have been hurt then?"

"Because you would have gotten cold. And I had no blankets so best thing to use as a blanket was your big cuddly bad wolf."

"Big cuddly bad wolf? That's a new one? How could you be cuddly and bad?"

"Don't tempt me kitty cat?"

"You've already started on the pet names?"

"Ooh this big bad cuddly wolf has so many other names he could call you. Like-"

I'm about to reply when one of the Werewolves who helped capture me runs in.

"Alpha vampires at the south border. They are demanding Layla's presence and yours. They claim to be on our side."

"Well looks like we're going pee and seeing some vampires." He says turning to me.

"We're going?"

He suddenly shifts into his wolf and rips through his clothes. And without warning he leans down on the ground asking me to jump on.

I get on and he starts running towards. A house a good acre and a half away he then runs so fast that I cant even see because everything is a blur. Then we are suddenly su the bathroom door.

He then slants his body down causing me to slide off.

I turn around to see him turn around and lay down like a puppy.

"Good wolfie, now keep guard while I use the bathroom."

He then jumps up and is next to me in an instant. Then he speaks in my mind. And stalks me walking around me in circles nipping at the loose parts of my clothes.

"Tease me and I'll mark you and mate you right here right now. With your 100% approval of course. But you cross the line first and continue teasing me. I'll take that as an approval to mark and mate you and make you fully mine." He says and gets on his wolf haunches and puts his paws on my shoulders.

"Be careful my little mate. And don't take to long in the bathroom. We have vampires to meet. And don't be afraid of therm. Or I'll have to kill them for scaring my mate."

I turn and run to the bathroom. Slamming the door shut. His words send exciting shivers all over my body. This stupid mate bond thing is going to be the end of me. I then hear his wolfie chuckle.
