Sorry for the Wait.

Chapter 4

It felt like an eternity passed as I tried to stare down all of the other people in the lobby surrounding me. I kept my stance even though my back leg, and now newly broken ribs were screaming in agony. I kept up my low growl too just to insure that none of them got to close to me. It continued on this way until the female started to talk.

"I told you she was a threat," she exclaimed while showing her newly bitten wrist. I growled very loudly at that claim. If anyone had the right to complain about being threatened it should be me.

"Shut up Elena! You were the one who attacked her first. We can clearly see you're lying just by the way you're acting." The older male with a blad head said. The female seemed to be shocked by his reply.

"Now you're taking her side because of your sons so called love for her." She screamed back. The male started to growl at her again and she answered it right back with her own. I could see the start of a fight starting with them. I started to get more on edge around all of them. Finally the male who seemed to be in charge ordered them to stop.

"I've had enough. Elena we will be having a talk later about you ignoring a direct order but for now we have a hurt and defensive young women to take care of."

"I'm not going to help her." She yelled back and then both of the older men started growling at her. Mean while I tried to move myself further into my corner to get out of the way of their fued.

"STOP IT ALL OF YOU! You're all scaring her more so get out! I can take care of her by myself." Ordered the man who I was distracted by before. I saw him standing of to the side yet he was the closest one to me.

All of the others looked at him in shock yet with the nodding of the male in charge all of them filed out of the room until it was only the man and myself in it. I still help my ground but was less focused on trying to back myself into the corner. The male just watched me with worried eyes.

"How badly are you hurt?" He whispered to me as he tried to come closer. I growled at him lowly and he stopped his movement. His blue eyes found mine, I could see the depth of sorrow he felt. I felt my defenses want to melt right at that sight but I stopped myself. I would not be caught off guard. Yet my instincts were screaming at me to give in and let him come closer.

"I'm sorry, none of that was supposed to happen," he said. He crouched down to my eye leave and let out a big sigh.

"I'm noting going to hurt you I swear. I'm your mate you have to know I'd never hurt you. It's impossible for me to even think about it." At his words I became even more confused. He's my mate? What does that even mean? I definitely do not know that he wouldn't hurt me. I slightly cocked my head to one side in confusion as well as skepticism. He looked at me wide eyed.

"Did you not know?" He asked. I looked at him with even more confusion. He lowered himself closer to me making me growl out again.

"Here," he said as he held out his arm with his hand reaching towards my face. I looked at his hand skeptically.

"Hold it in your mouth and all you need to do if I hurt you is bite down." He added. I looked at him shocked. Is this man stupid! He waved him hand closer to my mouth and waited for me to grab onto it. Slowly I opened my mouth and closed it around his hand. And then just as slowly he move closer to me with his other hand stretched out to touch me. As his hand slowly came down on the top of my head a warm fuzzy feeling started to invalid my system making me want to move closer to him.

"You feel it too." He said with the intentions of it sounding like a statement but it came out more as a worried question. Looking into his eyes all I could see is hope and worry, and due to that and the fuzzy feelings I could not stop myself from giving in. I moved closer to him and cuddled close to his chest without letting go of his hand. At this action he let out a sigh of relief.

"I've got you angle don't worry," he whispered into my fur as I slowly fell asleep.
