he’d
fallen in love with Liam. If it wasn’t natural, then how was it possible ?
The soft groan sounding from the female pulled him from
his thoughts again as he gazed down at her once more.
“You need to wake up,” he insisted as he moved his hand
down to smack her cheek gently with his palm. “I’ve got to get you to a safer
place.”
He watched as her eyes finally opened. They were as
green as freshly cut grass in the summer time. He could almost see his
reflection in her gaze as her eyes widened. She sat up quickly, nearly
knocking him backwards as she looked around.
“What the hell happened?” She demanded as she moved her
arms to hug around herself. “Who are you? Why am I here? I..” she seemed so
confused as she lifted her fingers to the back of her head, wincing. “Ow.”
“You’re hurt,” he offered as he leaned around her to
examine the back of her head. He didn’t see a wound, but there was dried blood
that served as evidence to a cut that had previously been there. “You must’ve
hit your head pretty hard, but don’t worry. It’s nearly healed.”
“Nearly healed?” She asked with a small scoff. “I’m
not Wonder Woman.”
Dimitri pulled back to gaze at her again, lifting a
brow. “No, but you’re an ursithrope, are you not? You heal just as quickly
as I do.” He lowered his gaze to the gash on the top of his left hand. Thomas
had taken a nice bite out of his paw before he managed to kill him.
“An ursi-what?” She asked quizzically.
Both brows shot up high on Dimitri’s forehead as he
stared at her. She wasn’t serious, was she?
“Did you receive a concussion?” He pondered aloud as he
shifted to sit in front of her. He kept his eyes on her face, already well
aware that the only thing she was wearing was the oversized t-shirt that reeked
of a male ursithrope. The scent was similar to Liam’s, and he was confident
her mate was related to him.
“Judging by how much it hurts, I’d say I knocked the dickens
out of it,” she muttered as she reached her hand back to touch the tender
area. “Am I bleeding?”
Again, Dimitri leaned over until he could get a better
look at the back of her head, even though he’d already done so once. “No, the
bleeding’s already stopped.”
When she didn’t respond, Dimitri pulled away to meet
her gaze. He wasn’t sure what to make of the expression on her face, but it
was a mix of confusion and distrust.
“Who are you and why are we in a cave?” She asked.
“I’m Dimitri and I’ve brought you here for safety,” he
nodded. “But we’ll have to move soon or else they’ll find us.”
“Who will find us?”
“My pack.”
“What do you mean, ‘my pack’?”
“My pack,” he repeated impatiently. “My alpha. My
family?”
He could almost see the gears working in her mind as
the girl’s mouth fell open and before he had a chance to say anything else, her
fist found a good sized rock nearby and it was colliding with his temple.
Dimitri cried out from a combination of surprise and
pain as he fell back, reaching his hand up to cradle the side of his head.
“Why did you do that?!” He asked as he closed his
eyes, groaning from the splitting headache he’d just received.
“You’re the wolf!” She exclaimed as she struggled to
stand up. “You tried to kill me!”
“No, I didn’t!” He argued as he opened one eye to look
at her, feeling the hot blood that was trickling down the side of his face. “I
saved you.”
So this was what he got for betraying his pack and
saving an ursithrope? Pain pulsated through his head as he moved onto his
knees, trying to push himself up with one hand as he felt his inner wolf
desperately trying to resurface.
No, no. Stay calm! He pleaded as he steadied his
breathing. She’s only frightened of us.
But the sudden kick to his ribs
made the wolf howl with anger and Dimitri clenched his teeth as he fought the
change. She was making it unbelievably difficult for him to protect
fallen in love with Liam. If it wasn’t natural, then how was it possible ?
The soft groan sounding from the female pulled him from
his thoughts again as he gazed down at her once more.
