Chapter 12 - I am not scared of you!

(Ronan's pov)

All the boys were injured on the floor and on the other hand Nyla saw the real me yet I focused my self to my brothers rather than explaining the situation to Nyla!

One by one I carried each one of them to their room, they're young and it might take some time for them to heal themselves.

By the time I was done taking care of them, I noticed Nyla was gone and that scared me from inside!

What if she tells everyone about us????

I was about to rush to her house when her sudden voice from behind surprised me!

"Where are you going?" I slowly turned my head to her and there she was standing with a tray in her hands.

"I thought you were gone!" I murmured.

She smiled and replied "I am not scared, Ronan!" Her answer shocked me, she indeed is different from all the humans.

"I was making soup for the boys!" She said.

Our real identity was exposed in front of her eyes still, she was unbothered and not scared at all.

"Are you not scared of us?" I asked.

She rested the tray on the table near her and walked over to me, she held my hand gently and fixed her gaze at my face.

"I knew you were special, and I am okay with it." Her words made me smile for fhe first time since we met.

"Oh! you smiled!" Her expression was priceless.

All of a sudden, she dragged with her to my room and locked the door from inside.

"Sit on the bed" She commanded and I exactly did as she said.

She took out the first aid box and started treating the wound on my right arm.

"Where did you get the first aid box?" I asked.

"I stepped out for a moment when you were busy taking care of the boys!" She replied with a warm smile on her lips.

As she was treating my wound, my eyes were only fixed at her and it was that moment when I realized that my heart wants her!

"Do you still like me?" I asked with curiosity filled eyes.

"I do!" Her reply was short but she made herself clear.

"Though I want to know one thing, how does it feel to be a wolf?" Her question was strange like her yet I was enjoying our conversation.

"Powerful" She nodded her head as if she understood the meaning.

"Why did you come here, Ronan?" She aksed the question I was hoping she would never ask.

"I can't tell you!" A look of disappointment flashed on her face as she heard my reply.

She must be thinking that I am still keeping secrets from her but it was for her sake only, her life is different and it's better if she don't get involved in my dark world. My world is full of enemies, and I am scared if I fall in love with her, she will become the target of those who hates me!

"But why are these wolves keep attacking me?" She asked.

I was as clueless as hers, why on earth somebody will attack her???

She just a normal human then why?

Maybe it was me who they wanted to kill and she was just a bait to lure me into their trap!

"I have no idea!" I replied.

"Ronan, I heard wolves are destined to be with their mates, do you have a mate?" She asked fixing her gaze on my lips to hear the words.

She is my mate and here I am maintaining my distance from her, she should marry someone who can make her happy, I can only fill her life with sorrows!

"I do have one!" Her hands slipped off my arm, and her eyes turned red but she clenched her tears from falling down her eyes.

"I need to go, Aunt Isla must be worried for me!" She was hurt and tried her best to control her emotions and with a pale look on her face, she left.

I watched her back as she walked towards her house but she didn't turn her face for once!

"Was I too harsh?" I questioned myself.

As I was about to enter my house again, Austin surprised me with his presence!

"Wow! why are you here?" I asked.

His face was missing his usual fun charm, and his eyes were intense as if something bad happened!

My hunch turned out to be true...

"We have a problem, Ronan!" He said in his deep voice.
