MY MATE, MY PROTECTOR
CHAPTER TWO
Darius's POV.
I was in my car driving through town, I was just driving around surveying the environment. A call came in and I picked up my phone to check who it was, the screen displayed 'Jared ' and I kicked it up.
"Hey" I said to Kyle, my Gamma on the other side of the phone.
"Alpha,I got a call from Jared saying he needed to attend to something so he needs someone to fill in for him" Kyle said and I could tell he was driving from the sound of vehicles and hooting sounds.
"Ok, so you're headed to the south border?" I asked .
"Yes Alpha, but immediately I got the call, I sent Dylan to keep watch for me till I got there but he texted me now that he sensed some rogue along the border line" he explained.
"Rogues?!" I yelled through the phone, I wasn't far from the south border so I turned my car immediately and headed there.
"Yes Alpha" he confirmed.
"I'm going there already, meet me there in five!" I commanded and hung up.
I hated Rogues, we had a bad history with them and all I've ever known is they're trouble. We never welcomed them and always drove them away even if they were just by the borderline.
I parked my car and transformed into my wolf form. My wolf Drogo, is a Red wolf and red wolves are rare species of wolves, we were known to have more unique traits, for being mostly vicious and tough, our senses were more heightened and our characteristics are supreme to other wolves. Red wolves are rare but it was oddly a common trait in the nightfall pack.
All nightfall Alphas always had red wolves and a few pack members too.
I was running very fast through the woods as I couldn't wait to lay my paws on the trespassers.
As we went further, I sniffed more than one of them. I sniffed up to five different scents but there was one that was closer and it caught my attention more.
A sweet scent, mixture of Vanilla and wet earth which was oddly relaxing and it drew me closer. As I got closer, I loved the scent more but also it gave off another scent, Rogue.
I finally got to the scene and saw a dirty white wolf lying on the ground, she was looking ahead of her and when I looked in that direction, I saw four other werewolves scurrying away. She looked confused before she realised what they were running from, she turned to face me and she was surprised.
Surprisingly, the white wolf was big, the fact that it's a she wolf. She stood tall as I approached her… "Rogue" I roared as I got closer but my wolf started acting strange, he inhaled the air in the environment happily wagging his tail, I was mesmerised by her ocean blue eyes as she stared back into mine, 'mate' Drogo said.
My mate? I was surprised, the person I've been waiting for all my life is finally standing in front but she's a Rogue werewolf.
Kyle had arrived at the scene in his human form and I was caught up admiring my mate standing right in front of me. I didn't notice when he hit her head with his gun as she turned towards him. She howled softly before she fell to the ground.
"Mate!" I howled as she fainted on the ground. Her wolf immediately changed back to her human form and she curled up lying on the floor. Drogo became furious as he glared at Kyle because he just hit our mate.
I quickly shifted back to my Human form before I lost control of Drogo.
"What the fuck?!" I yelled in Kyle's face who just stood there staring at me.
"She's a rogue!" Kyle said.
"She's my fucking mate " I yelled and I just got more angry, to think that a rogue she-wolf is my fucking mate.
"I'm sorry Alpha '' Kyle said, I bent down to examine her and she was still breathing. I picked her up and kicked her backpack over to Kyle. He picked it up and we started leaving the scene.
"Call Dylan and tell him to come with some of his boys to comb the area, Eliminate any rogue they find" I commanded and Jared nodded affirmatively.
We drove to the pack house and I immediately sent for the pack doctor. As I entered the centre room, everyone present there turned to look at us and they were all standing in defense form.
"I smell Rogue" my sister Diane said as I entered, they all diverted their eyes to me and the Rogue shewolf in my arms.
"Who is she ?" Diane asked as everyone relaxed seeing she's unconscious.
"Found her at the South border, it appeared she was being chased by some wild rogues and she ran into the territory, Kyle hit her and she became unconscious " I explained to them.
"So?, Why did you bring her here?" Diane asked with a raised brow.
I hesitated before speaking, "she's hurt" I said and everyone just stared at me like I was dumb or something.
"She gives off a strong aura " my uncle, Damien said, sitting in one corner of the centre room.
"She's a rogue, Darius, she has to be taken far away from the Pack land, who cares if she's injured?" That was Sam, my Beta.
Drogo was already getting frustrated as it continued telling me to go get her treated quickly. I ignored him and tried to appear calm.
"I'll help you if you can't do that" Diane said as she moved closer and tried to take her from my arms. I couldn't contain Drogo anymore as he growled loudly, I bared my teeth, snarling at Diane as I held the rogue wolf to my chest.
Everyone was surprised and Diane backed down immediately staring at me.
"Mate" Drogo growled threateningly. "She's my Mate and she stays to get treated!" I said In my Alpha voice and everyone's head went low, immediately submitting to my order.
MY MATE, MY PROTECTORCHAPTER THREEEstelle's POV. I woke up, my head was throbbing painfully, I opened my eyes, but everything looked blurry and out of focus. I was lying in a large bed, and the pillow beneath my head was soft and plush. I blinked my eyes a few times, trying to clear my vision. The room was bright and airy, with sunlight streaming through the windows. It smelled of flowers and fresh linen. Slowly, the environment came into focus, and I realised where I was, in a strange bedroom, not in a dirty abandoned hut, not by the Riverside, not beside tree roots, but I was on a comfortable bed in a nice room. I tried to sit but the pain in my head shot through sharply and I winced. I adjusted myself against the headboard and tried to remember how I got here. 'mate' Mira said softly in my head, and then I remembered everything that happened. Oh my Goodness! I'm not supposed to be here, and I just found my mate! And he is a pack member of the Nightfall pack. It has
MY MATE, MY PROTECTORCHAPTER FOURDarius's POV "Go down" I yelled at the girl in front and she just stood there staring at me like I was dumb. "I'm not your subject, " she said blankly. Drago snickered in my head, he was jumping around happily, 'mate' was the only thing he was saying. The more I looked at the little rogue in my front the More I got irritated. What was the Moon goddess thinking to give me a wild, untameable wolf as my mate, my other half? "Take her!" I ordered as two of my pack members seized her arm. She tried to free herself wriggling against their hold. "Stay still, you've caused enough trouble already" I yelled at her, she stopped for a bit and continued again making it hard for the guys to hold her down. I noticed she was proving to be strong. "Let's go, keep still and don't force us to use wolfsbane on you" I said to her and her body relaxed a bit. 'She's our mate idiot, take it easy on her' Drogo threatened me in my head and I j
MY MATE, MY PROTECTOR.CHAPTER FIVEEstelle's POV. "What's your name?" I asked the boy that brought me from Darius's car to the room. He hesitated before he answered, "Ezra," he said. "I'm Estelle" I told him and he just nodded. "I'll be outside the door if you need anything" he said as he closed the door gently. Recalling what happened back in town, so the green haired wolf, Diane is Darius's Sister and he's the Pack's Alpha. No wonder she was a little bit strong. 'There's probability Mate might reject us' I told Mira, she has been sad since our encounter with Darius. The way he looked at me like he should just end my life instantly, I know he hates me and I've begged him to let me go but he has refused. 'i won't accept his rejection ' Mira said firmly. 'If he proposes rejection, Mira, we'll have to accept it' I told her and she only whined more. Even if Darius was ready to take us, other pack members would have no choice but the hate will never leave their he
MY MATE, MY PROTECTORCHAPTER SIX.Darius's POV."Fine, go ahead!" Estelle yelled, and I just couldn't. I wanted to but Drogo wouldn't allow it. She has frustrated me and I find it so hard to control Drogo, to stop him from taking over. I took a deep breath, I felt I just needed to get her out of sight, out of my head. "Ezra!" I called and he rushed in, I could smell fear in him. "Take her to the dungeon!" I commanded him and he had to obey. Estelle immediately shifted to her wolf as Ezra pulled out a syringe containing wolfsbane. I couldn't push Drogo back anymore as he took over my form, Ezra shifted too and charged at Estelle, but Drogo was quick to action, he crashed into Ezra which put him off balance, he landed on his side but stood on his paws back and went low in front of Drogo. Drogo proceeded to hit Ezra again but Estelle was quick to get in the way, hitting him off balance. We fell back, against the wall and I immediately shifted back. "I'm really so
MY MATE, MY PROTECTOR. CHAPTER SEVEN.Estelle's POV. He kicked the door and threw the keys In his pocket. Mira whined realizing he was really locking us up. "Are you really going to do this?" I asked as he turned to leave, he stopped with his back still facing me. "Darius?" I called as he stood still. He turned slowly and I could see hurt in his eyes. He cleared his throat and frowned his face, "just for some time, I need to think" he finally replied. "Think about what ? There's nothing to think about, if you're not going to kill me, don't let me suffer''. "And you don't deserve to suffer?" He asked coldly, the statement hurt me. "Do I?" I asked as I studied his face,it looked like he was struggling to mask some emotion and he just put in the frown. His eyes couldn't even meet mine, he stared at the floor and I patiently waited for his response. "Who cares, you're a rogue" he said and walked away. "I'm your mate!" I said, reminding him, hoping it would t
MY MATE, MY PROTECTOR.CHAPTER EIGHTDarius's POV. Estelle's voice kept ringing in my ear as we drove out of the pack land, and every single time my heart would ache a bit as I remembered how she looked at me when I left. I sighed, I hate everything, I hate the fact that I hurt her, I hate that she's a rogue, I hate that she's my mate, I hate her and right now, I even hate where I was going to. I'm in pain and I can't even get my mind off her. I was with my Beta, Sam and a few other members. We were on our way to the moonlight pack. "I really hope Gary accepts our request, he's our last chance right now" Sam said turning to face me, he was the one driving. "It won't be easy, we have a pretty shitty history " I said and the others laughed. Gary is the Alpha of Moonlight pack, but before their pack grew large, they came to school in our pack land. Gary and I were mates back when we were younger and I literally made his life hell while they schooled here. We actually ha
MY MATE, MY PROTECTOR.CHAPTER NINEEstelle's POV . "Uncle! I'll be late for school" I yelled as I ran out of our house happily, to the car. My uncle always takes me to school, he's also my Dad's Beta. "I'll be out in a minute Elle" he replied back from inside the pack house. I was getting impatient, today is my birthday and I knew my classmate would throw me a surprise, I just couldn't wait anymore. He finally came out with the cake my mum baked for me, he helped me into the car and he placed the cake on the other side of the seat. He turned round to the driver's seat, my mum and dad were standing outside the pack house to bid me bye. It's how they do everyday, my uncle would drive me to school every morning and come pick me back, while mum and dad would see us off. Sometimes with my elder brother, also Alpha to be. I was smiling and waving at them when my mum's face suddenly twisted into a frown and her hands flew to her stomach, she fell on her face, to the g
MY MATE, MY PROTECTOR.CHAPTER TENDarius's POV. I couldn't sleep, nothing else was on my mind, only Estelle. She was all in my head and it was annoying. Very annoying. I instructed Ezra to inform me when she wakes but I haven't seen him and it's midnight already. It's possible she's still unconscious but one part of me really wanted to talk to her and apologise while the other part just hates the things she was doing to me. I decided to go check on her, whether she's awake or asleep. I left my room and locked it, I went to the room she's in and it was just adjacent to mine. I entered and met Ezra standing beside the bed, I looked down at Estelle and she was moving while murmuring. "Why didn't you call me?" I questioned Ezra. "She asked me not to" he said, he moved back as I moved closer to the bed. I placed my hand on her shoulder and her body calmed a little then winced in pain. "Stay away from me" She quickly sat up and I grabbed her arm. Ezra left, 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
