MY MATE, MY PROTECTORCHAPTER TWENTY - NINEEstelle's POV. We finally arrived at the pack land, the car stopped at the pack house. Immediately it did, I knew they would have sensed us approaching, some members including Sam, Kyle and Diane came out of the pack house as we alighted the car. I didn't come down , I sat still in my seat. Darius opened the door of where I sat and poked his head inside, "Elle?" He called gently as he stretched his hand forward. "He brought her?" I heard someone whisper. Kyle took my hand and gently dragged me down from the car. "Why did you bring her back?" Diane asked as she emerged from the little crowd with Sam and Kyle. "We were worried sick about you, you told no one before leaving. What if something had happened to you?" She was now standing right in front. "I'm too tired to start a banter with you" Darius replied softly and tried to walk away but she blocked him. "Diane please…" he begged but she didn't move, "we don't want
MY MATE, MY PROTECTORCHAPTER THIRTY.Darius's POV. "Alpha?" Sam called from outside Estelle's room. I looked at Estelle to ask if he should come inside and she nodded. "Come in Sam" I said and Sam opened the door and entered. "I came to apologise to Estelle, I'm really sorry about everything I said to you, I didn't mean to" he Said. Estelle smiled and said, "it's fine". "Thank you. Alpha, when you're done, I'll like to discuss something with you" he said. I nodded as he left. "I wanted to ask, how did you become a rogue?" I asked Estelle. "You want me to tell you my whole story?" She asked and I nodded. "Well,I went rogue when I was 10 years old, we were attacked and it was on my birthday". "Your tenth birthday?" I asked and she nodded. "Yes, it was the morning of my birthday and I was on my way to school. My father was the Alpha of our pack and my mum was the Luna. I was the only child then but my mum was pregnant and they said it's a girl agai
MYA MATE, MY PROTECTORCHAPTER THIRTY - ONEEstelle's POV. "Inform Kyle and Sam quickly" Darius said as he stood up. "I already did Alpha," Ezra replied. I stood up quickly the same time Darius did. He rushed following Ezra and I did too. "Stay here" Darius Instructed but I didn't stop. I kept following him, as we got to the dungeon, Sam and some few members were there too. They were just standing at the entrance and a few of them had guns in their hands. "How did it happen?" Darius asked, facing one of them, I recognized him as the guard that was in the dungeon the last time I was brought there. "I went to pee, leaving him at the door. Suddenly I heard screaming and I smelled blood. I rushed in but only found his dead body " the guard explained. "You didn't see who did it?" Darius asked. The guard slowly shook his head. Everyone suddenly moved back in an alert position. 'I smell fear and danger,' Mira said in my head. I didn't move, I stood sti
MY MATE, MY PROTECTORCHAPTER THIRTY - TWODarius's POV. "He couldn't have gone too far, I'll search around here. Line up as many of your boys as possible at the border. No one should go out" I said to Kyle as I kept running, sniffing the whole parameter for any strange scent. "Ok Alpha" Kyle said and ran off. We were all in panic, the escaped prisoner was very deadly and dangerous, everyone feared him, even our parents then. He has been in the dungeon for more than seven years now, the fact that he's a deadly beast before, we couldn't let him roam around like a slave. We had to lock him in there and he has almost gone feral. Now that he's out, I'm sure he'll kill anyone he lays his eyes on, I was pretty sure he'll even feed on a werewolf like himself too. "Sam?" I called through our mind link , he responded immediately, "yes Alpha?. "Have you sent everyone home?" I asked him. "Yes Alpha, I've asked some of the sentinels to keep parading the residents to make s
MY MATE, MY PROTECTORCHAPTER THIRTY - THREEEstelle's POV. I stood at the window staring outside, the pack house was surrounded by armed guards while Some were in their wolf forms, everyone was in panic, the gates were shut and all doors locked. I couldn't see Darius or anyone I recognized around, but I knew they were members of the sentinel. I was really bored, so I returned back to the bad and lied down staring at the ceiling. I was starting to drift off to sleep then I heard someone scream. I stood up startled, the whole room was filled with smoke, thick black smoke. Coughing, I rushed to open the window and look out, Fire!. I could see a few guards lying dead on the floor, others were running fat away from the house. The whole place was surrounded with fire. I rushed to the door in panic then I remembered Ezra had locked it from outside, I became scared. I tried to force the door open, pulling furiously but it won't bulge. I shifted quickly and tried crashing
MY MATE, MY PROTECTORCHAPTER THIRTY - FOURDarius's POV "Is that smoke?!" Someone exclaimed, I saw black thick smoke rising from the pack house ahead. "What the fuck!" Someone else said again, my heartbeat quickened as I saw flame spreading rapidly. As we got closer, I saw people running away from the pack house. I couldn't sight Diane or Estelle among the fleeing crowd. The gate was burning rapidly too, it would be hard to gain access, everywhere was dark and choking. We all stopped abruptly as we got to fence, no one could go in further. My head was throbbing hard and I started panicking, pacing back and forth in distress. "I can't seem to connect with Diane" Sam said as he approached me, she must be unconscious. She can't sleep in this kind of situation. I tried linking with Ezra too but I couldn't reach him too, "I'll find a way in '' I told him, taking off. "It's too dangerous Alpha, the fire department is almost here" he said as he ran after me. "I can't
MY MATE, MY PROTECTORCHAPTER THIRTY - FIVEEstelle's POV. Finally an ambulance approached us where we sat in silence. As it halted, the nurses rushed to us. One of them carried Diane and some went to help uncle into the car. "Are you okay?" One of them asked me and I nodded. He gave me a bottle of water to drink and a wet hand towel. "Use It to wipe your face, your nose too," he instructed. I thanked him and did as he Instructed. "I'll drop in to check on them later" Darius said to the nurses as they shut the door, the ambulance drove away. "This is a big disaster" Darius sighed as he stared at the half burnt house from where we stood, the rogue wolf was still in the loose which means things are not entirely settled. "Let's go," Darius said as he started walking back to the house. I followed him, I couldn't stop thinking about the brief meeting with the rogue wolf, I wondered why he didn't attack me too. "Do you have any idea why uncle acted like that
MY MATE, MY PROTECTORCHAPTER THIRTY - SIXEstelle's POV. "Elle?" I heard Darius called. I looked back and saw him walking towards me,I looked back quickly but the man was gone. "Estelle?" Darius called again as he got closer, he noticed me looking at the woods ahead and he had a confused expression. "Everything alright?" He asked. I quickly shook my confused expression and I forced up a smile. "Yh , yh" I replied to Darius and he nodded. "Let's go" he said as he pulled me. "What did you say?" I asked. "They told me I needed to let him rest, he's sleeping for now. I was unable to get any clue" "Ok" I replied briefly. I kept looking back at that particular tree he was hiding at but he was really gone from there. "Have they found the rogue yet?" I asked Darius. Apparently we were walking to the new house. "Not yet, no one has spotted him again," he replied. I knew the man I saw earlier was the man they were coming for and that same man was someone I
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
