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 ELEVENEstelle's POV 'He treats us badly', Mira said as soon as Darius left. I sighed and buried my face in my palm. I don't even care about him right now, I'm just confused why I'm beginning to have nightmares about my past back. I thought maybe the shock from Diane's assault must have caused it. I can never forgive Diane for the pain she put me through, I can never forgive Darius too for locking me up, the fact that I'm his mate made it hurt more. A knock on the door but I ignored it, the person knocked several times but I still ignored it. And then the person was unlocking the door, "Don't come in, I don't want to see you" I yelled. "It's not Darius" Ezra said and the door opened, he was by the doctor that attended to me before. She smiled at me as he entered but I snubbed it, looking away. Why would she even smile at me, she acted rudely the last time we met. She brought out her equipment and started checking some of my body vitals.
MY MATE MY PROTECTORCHAPTER TWELVEDarius's POV. "I came to check you immediately I received the letter but you weren't in your room" Sam said as he spread out the anonymous letter sent to us from some unknown source. " You're a clown if you think the past sins of your pack would go unquestioned and unavenged. " The letter was brief and threatening, I tore the sheet into two and mould it into a ball, then I tossed it into the trash can. "This threat certainly comes from rogues, maybe the RR. we have to be super careful and vigilant at all times". I told Sam. "Yh, we have to increase our security, because this particular problem is not something that can be completely erased or solved, more of them will keep coming for us." Sam said with a worried face. "I know, our only option is to fight back" I said and Sam nodded. At that moment, Kyle came in after knocking, I called on him too. "Hey guys, sorry I'm late. I was delayed by something " he said as he joined
MY MATE, MY PROTECTOR.CHAPTER THIRTEENEstelle's POV. I woke up to a stench of dried blood and wet earth. I felt my cheek wet too, it was on the floor. I opened my eyes slowly but I was in a dark space, I sat up trying to make out where I was, blinking my eyes several times. Then I remembered I was taken by someone, I remembered everything that happened. I felt the wound on my leg was already cleaned and bandaged, I knew it would heal soon. I was unable to see anything because it was too dark, I tried walking around and I hit a wall. Tracing it with my hand, I realised it was like a four corner room but no door. It was just stuffy, dark and reeked with blood. No single ray of light entered the room, I know I'm not dreaming so I'm probably locked up in an underground cell or something. I raised my hands up and it hit the roof, tracing around I found the metal door, the opening to the space. Then I began hitting it furiously, I continued hitting and I heard footsteps
MY MATE, MY PROTECTORCHAPTER FOURTEEN Darius POV. "All these because of a worthless rogue girl?" Diane fired as she barged into my office. We had already returned to the pack house and I was determined to invade the RR territory . I had the intention to save Estelle because I knew they'd treat her badly if they smelled our scent off her but also to finally end them. We know the camp they built was mainly to strategize their attack on my pack and they were coming for us, but now I know if we don't go soon, it's not bad if we go meet them ourselves and end this finally. "Not only because of her, RR is a threat and we need to eradicate them. If we don't act first, they will." I replied and walked past her out of the door and she followed me. "You're right but why would you just call for war all of a sudden, without forewarning" she said trying to catch up to my pace. "It may be sudden but it's not war. because we didn't let people know? We've received numerous th
MY MATE, MY PROTECTORCHAPTER FIFTEEN.Estelle's POV I was back in the dark room, sitting alone. I remembered the hair band my uncle gifted me on my birthday back then, it was always on my wrist. I brought it out and packed my hair up with it, I felt the urge to cry, feeling nostalgic about my past. I couldn't remember much but the little I remembered, I wish nothing ever went wrong. I really wish I could find the killer of my parents, my uncle, my entire pack member. I started footsteps, people running up and down. I sat up curious to know what was happening, but I was already locked in. 'Maybe Darius is here already ' I told Mira, though I had little hope that he was truly the one. I know he hates me, so why would he come for me? 'but he's our mate' Mira replied to my thoughts. 'I can't feel them though, hopefully they're the one' Mira said. I planned to start hitting the door but it opened. I was a little bit excited but it quickly disappeared as I saw bi
MY MATE, MY PROTECTOR.CHAPTER SIXTEENDarius's POV "I'm sorry", the words left my mouth too quickly and it's because of many reasons. I felt I was already late to come and save her,she had gone through so much pain already. I untied her from the pole, she was just shivering as she put her hands over her tiny body. I used the gag to wipe off some blood on her body, I rummaged through the tent and found a cloth she can put on. A long black shirt so I pulled it over her head, down to her knee. She started sobbing with her hands covering her mouth, I knew she'd feel very bad after what happened. I pulled her closer and wrapped my hand around her in a hug. "I'm sorry" I said again as her small body Was shaking against mine. I didn't know what I was doing but I just know I loved the position we were in, I loved as my arm was wrapped around her. I rubbed my hand up and down her back. "You must be really tired, let's take you back to the pack " I whispered into her ear, th
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
