Chapter 8
Pedro~~
I didn't think she would say it but she did. Kaity loves me! My thoughts made her laugh. So I can speak with Vasile tonight? He can arrnage for the ceremony to be tomorow. She stood up quickly, too quick for my liking. Kaitlynn looked at me and turned away. All I got from her mind was a feeling of panic. Then her walls went up and she walked away. She didn't want me? What? Why? I let her go, allowing my anger to boil over. Kaity headed towards the mansion. I walked deeper into the woods to let out my misery.
Kaity~~
I hated to see him hurting but I wasn't ready. Couldn't he see that? I passed the other four wolves. Jaque and Jen came over to me. There was an angry howl off in the distance. The guys looked at me and went into the woods. My little group started off to the mansion. We went into the locker room and phased back. "What happened? I thought you were happy?" Jaque asked. "Better question is what did he do?" said Jen. "Ugh, everything was amazing. We had fun, we were relaxing... he said I love you." "Thats why you're upset?" "No, I was happy! I told him that I love him too." I explained. "Then what happened?" they asked in sync. "He said we could do the bonding cermony tomorow morning. Seriously? I just met you, we shared I love you, and now I have to bind myself to you?" I whined. "I just needed some air!" I huffed. I phased and walked back out of the mansion.
Jaque~~
Jen and I decided to follower Kaity when she phased and walked back out the door. We didn't want her to feel alone. Pedro was a little pushy but he was right. I told Sally what was going on before we ran after Kaity. We ran for about thirty miles then slowed down to a walking pace. Kaity seemed sad. She was probably fighting with her emotions and her wolf. Jen tried to play with her but Kaity was unresponsive. We had been so distracted that we didn't realize how far we had gotten. We weren't paying attention to our surroundings. Jen and I were a few steps behind Kaity when she walked into a hunter's trap. A huge steel cage slammed down on her. I rammed my body into it, no luck. Kaity was fighting just as hard when we heard voices. I growled in their direction, but I nudged Jen into some nearby bushes. I needed to Kaity help, she needed Pedro!
Pedro~~
I was ripping the woods apart. Pulling down branches and ripping bushes up. Suddenly, I felt my alpha making me calm down and submit. I turned to face him. There stood Vasile, Fane, and Decebel on all fours. I bared my neck to Vasile which he nodded to. They phased into human forms. They stood there naked, "Well, tell me what happened. What did you say to her?" Vasile asked. I phased, "I didn't say anything wrong! She just doesn't want me. She rejected me!" I growled. "No she didn't. All of this new. She always thought she was human. Now her world has been turned upside down. Asking her to bond with you you so soon after that is quite a shock. Its like demanding that she marry you right now. Let the shock wear off and she will open up." Vasile stated.
"Alpha!" Fane said urgently. He spoke to Vasile and Decebel in romanian. I didn't understand but they mentioned my mates name. There was distress in their voices. "What is it? What happened to Kaitlynn?" I demanded. "Get Peri!" Vasile commended to Fane. Fane phased into wolf form and took off in a sprint to the mansion. My body became tense, I reached out for her. She was pissed! She wanted to be free, she wanted to escape. Luna what happened? ~I walked into a trap. I'm in a metal cage and surrounded by hunters. I could feel her fear, i knew my eyes were glowing. Pedro? ~Yes my love? ~I need you! I heard the distress in her thoughts. I took a step to go to my mate. Vasile put a hand on my chest to stop me. "Peri will get us there..." "Did you say my name?" the Fae, Peri, questioned.
Vasile told her what happened. We told her where the hunters would be driving to. Fane had rejoined us in wolf form. We followed suit and phased. "Everyone huddle together." Peridiza cloaked us in invisibiltiy and then flashed us to my mate's location.
We arrived by a gas station, unknown to the hunters. I saw the pickup truck. Kaity was slamming against the cage trying to break free. "Stay", commanded Peri. I growled at her. She rolled her eyes and flashed out of the area. The hunters opened the bed of the truck and pulled out the cage. They set it on thr ground admiring my mate. The hair on my back stood up. How dare any male look upon my mate. She is mine and mine alone to admire. "Have you ever seen a wolf like this? Its huge!" they remarked. One of them was looking at her tail. I inched forward wanting blood. "I think it's a bitch." they laughed. My lips pulled back, my eyes were glowing. My wolf demanded that we disembowl these insignificant creatures.
Peri was back, she had brought Jen and Jaque with her. I kept my eyes on Kaitlynn. The hunters were taunting her. While they laughed, Kaity stuck her muzzle out of the cage. She clamped down on a hunters leg, blood poured from the wound. Kaity sunk her teeth in deep. So deep, you could hear a crack and a blood curdling scream from the man. Another one got out a taser and electrocuted her. She hung on for as long as she could and then released him, collapsing to the ground. Peri immediantly removed the cloak. I growled as loud as possible. The hunters truned toward our group. There was fear in their eyes and in their scent. It was an amazing smell emanating off of them. I looked at my unconcious mate and took two steps towards them. They backed up, they were pray. I would not show them any mercy.
Peri appeared behind them. "Sleep!" she commanded. All four of the hunters fell to the ground asleep. I ran froward to enact my revenge. "Stop!" commanded Vasile. I glared at him, he stoodthere naked. I phased, "I will make them pay! Don't try and stop me Vasile!" "Pedro think about the big picture. Four men dead, others will come looking. It will only bring more trouble! If it were other wolves then you could perform pack justice. But these men are human and there are laws of society that we must abide by." he explained. I tried to see through the fog of red and my seething anger. Vasile made sense but this went against my nature. "I will put a spell on them. They will feel the same pain that your mate felt." Peri said. She walked over to the men and murmured something I didn't understand or I didn't want to understand. "When they wake up they won't remember anything! But everytime they try to remember today, touch a weapon, or think of hunting; theywill feel painful electricity running through their bodies!" she finished. My wolf seemed pleased with this punishment.
Kaity was still unconcious, I moved quickly to her. I ripped off the cage door and reahced for her. She lay there still in wolf form. Her breathing was shallow. I tried to gently lift her, she cried out in pain. I put her back down. "Let me help her Pedro!" Peri pleaded. I backed away from the cage. Peri reached through the bars and flashed Kaitlynn out of the cage. We all huddled around Peri as she flashed us all back to the mansion. I quickly ran to get some clothes on. Peri had laid Kaity on a cot in the infirmary. I went to her side. "I need her to phase back." Sally told me. "I don't know how to thelp her." "You can use your dominance to make her phase." Vasile explained. I covered Kaity with a blanket and did as Vasile told me. I also used our connection to get her wolf to help. It took a couple of minutes but she phased back, still unconcious. I turned her onto her back. Sally stayed there with her eyes closed for a long time. "Well...?" I pleaded. "I fixed all of the damage but I can't wake her up. I don't know how long she will stay like this." she whispered the last part. "What do you mean?" I asked. "Kaity's in a coma." Sally shuttered. My wolf growled. Now we wait I told him as I held Kaitlynn's hand.
