Chapter 1
(Four/Tobias)
I'm walking through the pit just after lights out when I hear the piercing howl of a wolf that I don't recognise. I seriously thought that I knew every wolf in this faction, huh, guess I was wrong. I'm so lost in thought trying to figure out who howled, that I'm startled when I hear Eric's voice telling everyone to meet up in the pit, well I'm already here boss man so don't get your panties in a twist.
Last month Max stepped down as Alpha and Eric took his place being that he was next in line, but I do have to admit that he's a natural born leader, he just doesn't work well with others. Maybe if he finds his mate he'll lose his ornery disposition, maybe.
I'm leaning against the climbing wall when I sense my mate getting close and when I look up I see her sprinting towards me with determination in her beautiful green eyes.
"Baby," she breathes out throwing her arms around my neck, "did you recognise that howl? because I can't place it to save my life." She looks really frustrated.
"No." I shake my head as I hold her tighter around her waist.
"I've been racking my brain but I can't place it to any wolf in the compound, so I'm thinking that it's a first time shifter."
"Alright guys." Eric says as he and the rest of the pack come into view.
"I caught the sent going towards the chasm so let head that way." he finishes and turns before sprinting to the chasm as everyone follows behind him.
As we approach the scene I begin to hear whimpering and growling, and as we turn the final corner I see a beautiful snow white wolf tense and poised growling at three boys that are huddled in fear in the corner. When I begin to approach the wolf I notice its female so I get down on all fours making myself smaller and less of a threat.
"It's ok," I stick my hand out slowly, "we're re here to help." I run my fingers across her fur and I hear Eric growl behind me.
"Come here Eric, I think you can help her faze back." I have a feeling that she is his mate and him growling at me for touching her is a clear sign of that.
Eric gets down on all fours and begins to approach slowly just as I did, I begin to back away when I catch the small white wolfs vibrant blue eyes and it's then that I realise that this wolf is Tris, it has to be because I have only seen that shade of blue in her eyes. Over the past few weeks Lauren and I have become close to her, she has become like a little sister to us.
When I get far enough away I stand and pull Lauren to me telling her that I think that the wolf is Tris and judging from the look in my mate's eyes, I know she senses that Tris has been scared into shifting. I look over to the three boy and notice for the first time that it's Peter, Drew and Al. Yes, those sadistic little shits have done something to her.
"Sweetheart." I hear Eric say in the softest tone that I have ever heard pass his lips.
"It's ok, I'm gonna help you." Eric opens his arms and she looks cautious.
"Come here and I'll help you faze back baby." He says and Tris whimpers before climbing into Eric's arms, and that confirms that they are in fact mated, but not fully obviously.
"It's ok sweet girl." Eric says as he scratches softly behind her right ear and places a soft kiss to the top of her snout. I scan the rest of the pack and notice everyone is sharing the same shocked expression, well everyone but Lauren, she however is still glaring at the assholes in the corner. I nod my head and she all but runs up to Peter and grabs him by the throat and slams him into the wall hard.
"What in the hell happened?" She growls in his face and he looks like he's about to wet himself.
"What did you do to her you sick little shit?" She lifts him off the ground.
"S-She Just." Peter stutters and Lauren's eyes narrow.
"T-Turned into that creature." I look over to Eric right before the wolf turns human again and wrap's her arms tightly around Eric's neck and begins to sob loudly.
"They tried to throw me in the chasm." She whimpers out and she cries harder.
"Eric what's happening to me and why do I feel like I won't be able to breathe if I let you go, I'm so scared, what's happening to me?"
"It's ok sweet girl." Eric kisses her temple gently running his fingers through her hair.
"I'm going to take care of you." He rubs her back gently with his other hand.
"You'll be just fine baby." At this I hear everyone gasps.
"Did Eric just find his mate?" I hear Shauna whisper to no one in particular.
"Yes." Eric kisses Tris' temple again before removing his jacket and wrapping it around her to cover her nearly naked body.
"I did." Eric stands and walks over to me with his face serious enough to kill.
"You and Lauren make sure these assholes are locked up and no one is to touch them before I can get my hands on them." He glares at the trembling boys and clenches his fist clutching Tris tighter.
"I'm going to take care of my mate." he says before disappearing down the corridor with a still crying Tris wrapped protectively in his arms.
After Eric has left Uriah laughs loudly "Wow, Maybe Tris will help him pull that stick out of his ass." everyone laughs. I hear a low growl in my head and everyone begins to laugh harder at how different Eric's growl seems, now that he has mated, a lot less menacing to be honest. I turn back to Peter's trembling form and place my hands on Lauren's waist resting my chin on her shoulder.
"Well boys." I grin evilly at them and each of them share a worried look.
"I hope you enjoyed your time here at dauntless because you want be staying here much longer, hell you'll be lucky if we can keep Eric our Alpha from killing the three of you for hurting his mate."
