Chapter 8

MILA

Well that was a long day at the cafe.

Everyone was talking about the town meeting and wondering what the council were going to suggest and do about the pack of wolves.

A few members were contacted and told to meet up, Gloria being one of them.

Due to being 17, me and Emily were left in the cafe to lock up. While everyone was waiting on news. We were busy making sure everything was sorted and ready for tomorrow.

As I locked the front door, Emily received a message from George “They came to an agreement. They are going to let the wolves in the town on a temporary basis for now to make sure the people are okay with it before they make it permanent” she says.

She looks at me with a blank expression on her face, I think she is trying to read me.

“That’s great” I say sarcastically “I have to hide who I am now and have to be careful where I go again” I snarl. I am pissed, wolves want to come into town and I have to hide due to Sapphire and me being a White Wolf.

Emily looks at me and gives me a small smile, “Dad wants you to come over tomorrow and he will explain and make sure we have a potion ready for you to mask your scent”

I nod at her and turn to head in the direction of my apartment above the cafe. Emily grabs my arm and pulls me into a hug. I know she is worried about me. But I can’t help how I feel, I am so pissed. I hug her back. “I will see you at the house in the morning” she says as she turns to leave and heads to the car. She waves me goodbye and drives away.

“You okay Mila, you seem pissed” says Sapphire.

“We have to be extra careful now that the wolves are coming into town” I say sounding annoyed. “Can we go for a run now, think we both need it and we don’t know when we can go for another run next time” I say. Sapphire is stretching her paws and wagging her tail.

“Yeah we should, but we go behind the cafe, the pack won’t be there” she says with a sigh. I make sure the cafe is locked up and I place my keys under the flower pot and strip off. Sapphire shifts and runs straight into the woods behind the cafe.

Her paws bound along the dirt, lifting leaves as we pass. The woods at this time of night is so peaceful. You can hear every single creature stirring and flowers coming to life. The move in the wind giving off all the scents that they have combining the fragrance of the forest. I wish we could stay here in the forest forever. Sapphire heads up the mountain path which looks over the whole of the town. We look over the branches. We can see a huge mansion being build on the new pack territory.

“Stay in the shadows Sapphire, we don’t want anyone to know we are up here” I say quietly. Seeing everything through Sapphire eyes is amazing. Her senses show me and make feel everything too.

We lie on the ground in between two trees. No one can see us from here but we can see down on everything that is our home.

After an hour or so, Sapphire has fallen asleep but is suddenly awoken but the stent has of rotten eggs and death.

Rouges, three of them.

Sapphire gives off the aura that we are not there and starts to run through the trees. They are coming close to us and they are fast. We have been running for 15 minutes when we both realise that we are heading into the pack territory. This ain’t good.

“We need hide Sapphire” I say “lets shift back and I can climb a tree till they go” I suggest but Sapphire ignores me. She keeps running, But we suddenly come to a complete stop when I can smell that scent again, mint and forest, the intoxicating scent that makes me want to have whatever it is.

A loud growl comes from behind us, as we turn around. Sapphire growls loudly, the three rouges come out from behind us. One of them has shifted back into his human form, he stares at us. Sapphire growls really loud.

“Look what we have here boys, the boss will be happy to see the white wolf he wants” the man smirks. He is now standing in the middle of the other two wolves as they are growling at me. “Take her alive, he wants her but I think we should have some fun first, what do you think?”

All of a sudden the one wolf on his left which is brown comes charging towards us. Sapphire crouches down and pounces on him and latches onto his neck and snaps it, we can feel his life instantly gone, “Good one Sapphire, be careful of the other two” I say trying to give her some words of encouragement “Thanks Mila, lets finish them off” she says but before she can, two wolves come out from behind the rouges. The big black one and a golden one. They are snarling at the rouges, “Sapphire run, we need to hide” without saying anything Sapphire runs as fast as she can, making sure our scent isn’t looming for them to find us. We run all the way to Georges house as we know we need to see him due to this.

There are no wolves following us.

We keep running till we are straight at George’s house, who was standing on his poach looking at us with wide eyes, he opens his door and puts a protective barrier up on the house as soon as Sapphire bounds into the house nearly missing the dining room table as she skidded in.

I shift back into my human form to face a stunned George, Sybil and Emily looking at me.

“We went for a run behind the cafe, we thought we would go as we didn’t know how long it would be till we could go for a run again” I say with tears running down my face “We headed to the clearing on the top hill but still stayed out of sight by being in between two trees. We must have fallen asleep as we were woken up by the smell of rouges. We ran as fast as we could till they caught us. We were surrounded by three of them, Sapphire killed one but two big wolves came up behind them before we could finish them off. I think they were from the pack” I finish.

I am completely a sobbing mess.

I know I have messed up big time as George always wants us to hide.

I look up through blurry eyes to see Sybil kneeling beside me and pulling me into her arms. “It’s okay Mila, it would have happened sooner or later.” She says and looks up to see George with a worried but fierce look on his face. I can feel his power coming off him in floods, Sapphire is whining in my head as she can feel him too. But before I can do or say anything, Sapphire pushes through and pushes me back into the darkness with a block on me.

I am in darkness yet again due to my wolf, why is she doing this?

I have had enough of this, I want out. I want answers.


SAPPHIRE

I had to come through.

I need to tell them before Mila suspects.

“Mila didn’t know who they are but I do, Mate was there but I covered up who we are from them. They were shocked to see a White Wolf but they have no clue who we are” I say feeling Mila trying to break the block I got on her.

“Mila wants to come through. We need to tell her why, I can’t keep lying to her” I say shaking my head to stop the headache that Mila is giving me.

George is looking shocked and concerned but he changes into a blank expression I don’t recognize “We can’t tell her, she is not of age yet and I promised I won’t” he says with a firm voice.

“Faith would want her to know, she will be blind going into everything, also we are causing a rift in their bond, I can feel it between them” says Sybil.

I look at her with sad eyes as I know for the last few days Mila has been wondering why I have been distant.

“Please I can’t keep doing this to Mila, she is my human and I love her” I say with a sad voice.

Emily comes closer to me and holds my hand.

“Dad their bond needs to be fixed or they are not going to be able to do what needs to be done when the time comes” she says.

What the hell is she on about, I look at her confused but Emily just holds my hand.

I look at George, he hung his head and shakes it “No, we will wait. I am going to give you a potion to drink Sapphire, it will make you and Mila sleepy for a few hours. I will concentrate on a the potion for masking your scent and also making sure your mate doesn’t know who you are. We will tell her but hopefully not before her birthday.”

All of a sudden shooting pains come through my head, I grab the potion he has in his hand and knocking all back. Within an instant I black out. I am completely in darkness and so is Mila who I know is sleeping. She is going to hate me and never forgive me. I know it.
