MY MATE, MY PROTECTOR.CHAPTER SEVENTEENEstelle's POV. I was back in the dungeon, but this time the cell I was put in wasn't locked. The one opposite mine wasn't locked too, it was dark, very dark but I couldn't stop staring. Then I thought I saw a wolf, lying down numb, I felt drawn to it. No one was around, I was alone and opposite this dark eerie cell. I decided to check in there. I walked out gently out of the cell I was in and slowly approached the dark one, the closer I got, the more I couldn't see anything. I went back and took the torch that was in mine so I could see better. I opened the door of the dark room gently, I put my torch forward but before my eyes could capture anything, I saw a very huge hairy wolf, it leapt forward at me and I screamed as it was about to land on me, but instead I landed on a hard floor. I opened my eyes, and it was in a brighter place. I quickly stood up and realized I was back in the usual room. This was like the third time I was waking
MY MATE, MY PROTECTOR.CHAPTER EIGHTEEN Darius's POV The meeting with moonlight pack was successful, it was just for them to allow our pack members to come and join them in their school for the main timebours will be completed back, imthe while school was burnt down to the ground during an invasion by some rogue werewolves. We were always having problems with them, they are very adamant. Moonlight had no choice but to agree because we've once welcomed them to our pack school in the past. They are the closest to our pack land and the only ones that would easily agree to help us. We were done and now returning back home, I went with Kyle and Ryan, he's also a member of The sentinel. "The next thing I need from you now is that you'll arrange a schedule for your boys. They'd be leading the students to school to and fro everyday. The highest two grades would have to remain home for the time our school would be completed" I Was talking to Kyle and he was listening, agreein
MY MATE, MY PROTECTOR.CHAPTER NINETEENEstelle's POV. Finally, I could feel them coming closer, I ran to the window side and I saw their car pulling up with another ambulance which I guessed belonged to the medical team. "Please let me follow you down?" I asked Ezra and he nodded, accepting. I followed him and we left the room, going downstairs. This was the first time I got to see the pack house well, I've always been confined in that room and out the window. It was big, and I know only the important members live here but it was much bigger than I expected. Finally we were descending the stairs to the general sitting room and few people were present. I only recognized Sam who was lying on a couch with Diane hovering above him. Kyle was sitting also, but his face had few plasters on it and his arm was bandaged. Another guy badly injured too was sitting on the floor, Irene was beside him. My eye finally landed on Darius, he seemed less injured, only had a few plast
MY MATE, MY PROTECTORCHAPTER TWENTY.Darius's POV. Estelle shifted immediately, I knew she would leave. Her wolf head scanned the room slowly till it landed on me. I couldn't tell the expression on her eyes, like a mixture of pain and regret. Drogo whined sadly in my head, I felt the urge to stop her but I didn't know how. I wanted to say something, apologise but I just couldn't. Estelle seemed determined as she slowly walked out the front door. I feel Drogo trying to shift and I know he'd make me go after her but I just didn't want to. I remained still. Slowly, her breathing started to become distant as she walked farther. Then I couldn't hear her again, she's gone and I just stood there staring at the door. I really am a Dump Alpha. "If she didn't have our scent on her, RR would have let her go, they wouldn't have hurt her and a fight wouldn't occur sooner. If we didn't have her scent on us, those rogues may have let us go peacefully, although it's now clear they
MY MATE, MY PROTECTORCHAPTER TWENTY ONEEstelle's POV Back to the life we're used to. I chose not to return to the path I came from, I'm afraid of coming across some dangerous people who we've had a bad history with. I wasn't running again, I feel we've run far enough from nightfall. I was still in my wolf form, the next plan was to find a town to spend the night. All my life of being a rogue, I've never ever thought of settling down with a job and a permanent house, but now, the thought started seeping into my head. I knew the first plan was to get a job first. Night time, and I knew we've come very very far. I approached a little town and I knew humans lived there too, back to my human form I entered, surveying the environment. I remembered I forgot my precious backpack, the only thing I have left of my past and pack. 'This place is a little crowded and busy for such a little town' Mira told me. She was now finally speaking, seems the mate effect has washed o
MY MATE, MY PROTECTORCHAPTER TWENTY - TWODarius's POV. It was getting dark and I knew I've gone far, very far from the pack land. I was starting to get hungry too. I thought of giving up and going back but I just couldn't leave her, my heart felt attached to her so much but my mind was the opposite. Both weren't agreeing together. I stopped to focus on the environment so I could hunt an animal to eat. After some time, I couldn't find any one near. I figured the area I'm in must be close to a town or a pack or anything, a settlement. 'What have I dragged myself into' I told Drogo as we slowly approached a huge tree to lie at its root. Drogo howled, not an exciting one, just to let out the anger building up in me. I felt really angry, not at anyone but myself. I also wondered how she could have gone so far. I knew it was because of the mate attraction, I'd lost her scent since. ' We've come too far to go back home ' Drogo said as he noticed I was starting to get ti
MY MATE, MY PROTECTORCHAPTER TWENTY - THREEEstelle's POV. "I live alone actually," Akan said as he opened the door of his apartment. I went to survey the house, it was mini and cute. Less luxurious but had lots of furniture. "Would you like to have some fruits?" He offered as he brought out a bowl of fruit from the refrigerator in the kitchen, the kitchen is linked to the sitting room. I saw two more doors and I know one of them is just the bedroom. "Yes thank you" I said as I grabbed an apple and devoured it. I just realized how hungry I am. "It's late already, we'll talk more tomorrow" Alan said as he yawned softly. I was really nervous spending the night alone with him in the apartment, in a strange land. I've done nothing close to this before and I was really scared. Although I was thankful I didn't have to sleep alone in the darkness, outside in a land I'm new to. "Ok, Thanks for your help" I said. He nodded and disappeared into one of the doors I guessed w
MY MATE, MY PROTECTORCHAPTER TWENTY FOURDarius's POV. I was walking behind sophie as she took me to her father. As we walked past some buildings which were all arranged in a row, all looking alike, I thought I picked Estelle's scent. I stopped abruptly and sniffed again, harder but I couldn't find it anymore. Maybe i didn't hear it in the first place, I controlled myself not to growl because I knew l'll scare Sophie. She didn't seem to notice my reaction behind her, she was just skipping gleefully between the crowd. "He'll be at home, his shift today t is until later " she said as we turned down into a street, after passing a few houses, she finally stopped in front of one. It had a little gate, closing up the fence. "Dad?" Sophie called as we entered the house , unlocking the door. I was welcomed with the smell of freshly baked pastries. My stomach growled in response to the smell, Sophie looked back at me and giggled. "You're still hungry?" She asked and I nodded.
MY MATE, MY PROTECTORCHAPTER FORTY - NINE.Estelle's POV. Listening to Darius's heartbeat as I placed my ear to his chest, I was unable to sleep. I turned to face Darius and his face looked very cute as he was deeply asleep. I put my hands on his cheek bone that was almost perfect and I traced it down to his jaw, no doubt my mate is very beautiful. Even his wolf was scaringly beautiful. 'I'm happy Mira' I confessed, I couldn't tell where the joy was radiating from. I was just so glad that my mate was finally mine. Hours later, I still didn't sleep, I kept admiring him in his sleep till he woke up. "You didn't sleep?" He asked in a husky voice as he rubbed his eyes. "I was busy," I replied with a smirk. He got up and pulled me after him. "Doing what?" He asked with a light yawn. "Watching your face" I replied and he chuckled. He placed a kiss on my forehead. "C'mon, let's go down" he said and held my hand out of the door. Everyone was present an
MH MATE, MY PROTECTOR.CHAPTER FORTY - EIGHT.Darius's POV. Estelle didn't reply to my confession but I wasn't expecting one actually. She may need time to think about it but there is no way her answer would be the opposite, I mean she's my mate. Destined partner, chosen by the Moon goddess. As I let go of her from the hug, my thum gently swiped the huge mark on her neck, I felt her body shiver a little in my arm. I pecked the spot and I knew the effect it would have on her. I smirked knowingly and she slap my shoulder playfully. Later, we started preparing to go back home. I wouldn't let her stay alone in another room again. She'd stay with me so I'll be able to watch her very well, And she'll always be by my side. I called the pack to check anyone that could come pick us or send a car and Dylan came, he's part of the sentinel too. "Hey" I greeted him as I helped Estelle balance on the seat. He greeted back and we drove to the new house. We met Lex and
MY MATE, MY PROTECTOR.CHAPTER FORTY - SEVEN.Estelle's POV. I was back to running, I thought I was free from that, guess I was wrong. I was gliding and zig-zagging through the forest trees. I could hear her paws thudding behind me but I couldn't see the person chasing me. Suddenly, the environment morphed and I was on a clear road, still running. I looked back and I saw a huge white wolf with only its left forearm missing but it was still running. I gasped realising who it was, Uncle Rex!. Ahead in the distance I saw a figure standing with its arms stretched out. It was like they were cheering me and urging me to run faster into their arms. I increased my pace but uncle Rex was catching up. I started painting heavily, I was getting tired already. I looked back again and he was right by my tail, looking forward, the man 8s Darius but he was still far. Uncle Rex caught up to me and jumped on me, I managed to escape and continued running, Darius cheer kept me g
MY MATE, MY PROTECTOR.CHAPTER FORTY - SIXDarius's POV. "I think she has fainted?" I said checking her breathing, it has changed. I checked her body and she was badly bruised. "Yeah, Irene too," Ezra replied in a low voice. I picked her up in my arms and we stepped out of the house. "This place is a wreck" Sam said as we looked back at the wooden cabin in silence. A plank fell from the roof breaking the silence. "I'm sorry Ezra" I said to him silently, since it belonged to his parents. "It's fine actually" he said but I still sensed the sadness in his voice. "I should have told you where they were but I lied to you, I feel guilty, I feel this wouldn't have escalated if I didn't help" he said. "Don't blame Yourself Ezra, you did but because of your mate and we all understand. It's fine, I've forgiven you" I told him to reassure him and I felt his mood lift up a bit. "Thanks Alpha" he said and picked up his mate too. "We can rebuild this
MY MATE, MY PROTECTORCHAPTER FORTY - FIVEEstelle's POV We woke up to being tied with a silver chain, we couldn't try to break it so it wouldn't burn us much. I noticed he also injected us with Wolfsbane rendering our wolves helpless. This is the second time I was trusting somebody and putting my life at risk again. Although sho would ever thought my own uncle could do this, perhaps he wasn't who he claimed to be. Or probably all those years of being locked up had made him mad?. He locked us up in the bedroom, under the bed and gagged our mouths, he's truly a psychopath no doubt. I felt betrayed and pained. "They'll come for us, they'll come to save us" Irene kept whispering to herself as she was sobbing uncontrollably. Lex also refused to talk since we woke up. I couldn't even recognize the emotions running through my head. Suddenly we heard paws thudding the ground, as if a group of werewolves were approaching. Irene paused for a bit then she continued, "they
MY MATE, MY PROTECTORCHAPTER FORTY - FOURDarius's POV. A sharp pain coursed through my whole body and it made me jump from the bed, I held my chain in pain as I winced. I noticed it was morning already since the sunlight peeked behind the curtains. 'I've been feeling it since midnight but I didn't want to wake you, you had to rest. But it feels so urgent ' Drogo said while I left the bed, dragging my feet to the bathroom. 'mate?' I asked, unsure of what was causing the pain. If she was with her family, she should be fine. 'I think so, they're in pain ' Drogo replied and I started feeling uneasy, panic set in as I rushed to clean up in the bathroom. I rushed downstairs and I met Ezra pacing forth and back. "You felt it too?" I asked already assuming he must be panicking for the same reason I was worried too. "Yes Alpha, she's in danger. She needs help…", he was Interrupted as the door opened, Sam and Kyle came in, both of them panting. I rais
MY MATE, MY PROTECTORCHAPTER FORTY - THREE.Estelle's POV Uncle Rex continued his story, "Silver moon turned a blind eye to everything that was happening. We didn't ally with other packs like some did, we refusee to go them for submission. We were pretty confident they wouldn't come for us, plus I and Dave used to be close friends. We believed we we were safe from their trouble, although we prepared for it just Incase. Dave betrayed me…" He paused and I could sense he was sad. "They came for us?" Lex asked and Uncle nodded slowly. "It was unexpected, that day was supposed to be a good day and it was ruined. I was driving Elle to school on her birthday when they suddenly attacked, I never understood how they got in. They knew I was the pack's best fighter and I was their first main target, I didn't fight initially trying to get Estelle to safety. After she ran off, I started fighting bit their soldier was large, they were too much and we were overpowered…" he paus
MY MATE, MY PROTECTOR.CHAPTER FORTY - TWOEstelle's POV. After Irene had dressed the wound and it stopped bleeding, we all got in the car and she drove away, away from the pack land. We finally stopped but it was in the woods. She took the car off the main road and parked it in the woods, then we alighted and she led us further into the woods. "This place used to belong to Ezra's parents before they passed, we always came here too since it now belongs to them," Irene explained as we approached a wooden cabin. She pulled the keys from her pocket and dangled it in the air. "Nice" Lex said as we got there. Irene inserted the key into the keyhole and the lock clicked as she twisted it. It opened and the door opened, she entered first and navigated her way through the dark until she found the light switch, she flipped it and the room was lit up. The whole space smelled of Jasmine, which indicated a member of the Nightfall pack. Mira softly reminded me of mat
MY MATE, MY PROTECTOR.CHAPTER FORTY - ONEDarius's POV. "Get some people to start cleaning up the burnt house. Well start construction as soon as possible" I told Sam. We were sitting in the living room of the main house. Kyle entered and Joined us. "We've searched the whole land, no sign of them. Probably they've left the pack land" he reported as he came in. I asked him to look for them if they were anywhere in the pack land but they couldn't find them. "Just ensure everywhere is heavily guarded, I can't afford to lose another member to that asshole" I told him. "Sure Alpha" he replied. Diane had woken up and had already returned home, my uncle won't be able to speak again. My insides boiled with anger as I thought of Rex. Again I was scared, if Estelle later finds out about the truth, she may turn her back on me and probably hate me finally. She wasn't my enemy, Rex is the enemy. I didn't care whatever transpired between him and my family, he killed my p
