The Wolves Howl
Chapter 7
(Tris)
I managed to distract Lauren long enough to follow Eric and Max to their secret meeting that I'm not supposed to know about but read from Eric's mind. Should have blocked me first. Eric sniffs the air but shakes his head and looks around. Then I smell a bad smell, a really bad smell.
"Jeanine." My jaw drops as Max shakes the woman's hand and I gasp slightly, narrowing my eyes at the witch bitch.
"We must move quickly. If we're going to stop Johanna and the rest of the vampires from hurting your Luna. I don't like you and you don't like me, but Natalie and Andrew are my friends, I couldn't forgive myself if anything happened to Beatrice. And wish Christina well from me." Vampires… What? Jeanine makes my wolf want to tear out her throat. I can't believe Eric went behind my back and made a deal with her. I snarl and Jeanine's head snaps around.
"Beatrice. This isn't what it looks like." Jeanine stumbles through her words and I look at Eric.
"Tris…." I shake my head and turn away from him before running and shifting.
I just run and run and run and run. I don't even want to look at him. Why do people always think they know best for me? I'm perfectly capable of looking nice after myself but people still think they need to look after me. I'm not a child anymore and they all need to stop treating me like one. I can protect myself. Then a stench, a disgusting stench hits my nose and I stop dead in my tracks shifting back and quickly dressing.
"Hello?!" I call out and try to use my advanced sight to look around but it's too dark and I can't see well enough.
"You should've stayed where your mate could have protected you." A mans voice whispers and I'm injected with something that burns and causes me to black out.
(Eric)
I've got all I my men and women out looking for Tris. She ran off before I could explain anything to her. I'm doing all of this for her. All of it.
"We'll find her. Don't worry." Four says and I feel a sharp pain in the back of my neck. Suddenly I feel my bond with Tris flare and howl in pain.
"Tris!" My wolf takes over and forces me to run. I shift and then Ares forces his way into control.
(Ares)
I push my wolf body faster and faster, following the flaring mate bond all the way to the stop where those vampire bastards have my mate.
"Take one step closer and I tear out her throat with my fangs." Johanna spits and I growl at her. She grabs my mate and her cohorts spirits off.
"If I kill her, you all suffer." I whine as she tightens her grip on my mate. My sweet. Poor. Little. Girl.
"Get away from her now. Get the hell away from my sister vampire." A guy's voice says and Johanna drops my mate in pain. She sprints away and I get to my mate, whining and licking her cheek. I look up at the warlock boy and he smiles at my mate.
"Look after my little sister wolf. She's got silver running through her veins. Get her back to your doctors." He magics up some clothes for me and then disappears. Thank you. I change back and pick my mate up, purring into her ear. My poor girl. My poor little mate. I sprint back to dauntless with her tightly in my arms and kiss her forehead as we make it.
"What's wrong with her?" Shauna asks as I lay her down and manage to pant out silver.
"We need silver antidote!" They take my mate away and then the number boy touches my shoulder.
"She's going to be alright, I promise." He says and I collapse to my knees, sobbing loudly.
"My mate." I say and Max comes into the room, taking me into his arms. He's like my father.
"Sh, Ares she's going to be fine. I've never seen you crack, not once. You need to man up, you need to he here for her." Max says and I narrow my eyes, growling loudly.
"You don't get it!" I snarl and shake, I need to calm down, I need to not shift. I've had so many years of control, I need to keep my resolve. I can't lose her so I can't lose control, if I give into my demons then I'll lose her. That's how I lost them. My parents.
