2 Chapter 2: (2/2)

”Mother and the others will find us in due time. We can't run from the kingdom.” I remind her, reluctantly following her so we could continue this mindless argument. The uncomfortable pit in my stomach growing every moment we walked.

What in the world was this feeling...?

”You are correct.” Pairs said spinning on her heel and grinning at me darkly. ”You cannot but here you are running from them.” She delightfully points out to me, spinning on her heel again and skipping towards the commotion.

”I-I am not!” I bark angrily, marching after her quicker form when s.n.a.t.c.hing her arm roughly. ”You don't even realize what it is you've done. They will find us and punish us for leaving. It is your fault we are here and I-”

”Oh shut up, brother. At any point we've been gone, you could have contacted them and have us taken back to the capital. But here we are.” She s.n.a.t.c.hed her arm from my grip and spun around with an easy smile. ”What? Are you scared of what they will say about you? How the prince of the demons was rejected by a wolf s.h.i.+fter?” She taunted dangerously making me twitch in anger.

I was about to s.h.i.+ft when we heard the loud and worried screeches of the witches. A sharp pain ran through my chest making me double back and sag against a tree. Pairs cried in shock, reaching for my arm when I pushed her away and rubbed my chest painfully.

What the h.e.l.l was happening to me...?

”Hurry! Nava and Levi will be treated by the interns. Khole will be treated by my mother and I!” Faye yells, the name Khole sounding unfamiliar but dreadful in my mind.

I shoved past Pairs, tracking this Khole and wondering what it was that made my entire body throb in pain and need. It was as if my demon had taken over my body and it was tracking down what it wanted.

This Khole...

Who was the woman?

”Dylan... Dylan!” Pairs caught my arm, watching me with worried orange eyes. ”What's wrong? Wh-”

”My mate.” My demon admits to her, my orange eyes revealing that it was he who was controlling my movements. I was beyond shocked at the words that left my mouth just as wide as Pairs's mouth.

My feet moved quicker than my thoughts before I smelt the revolting scent of her, the scent was horrid and disgusting but that only made my demon want her more. Which I didn't understand since she was gross and smelly.

I wanted a clean and good scented mate.

Not what I was smelling.

Some of the witches and wolves around me hissed and snarled at my presence, not liking that I've stormed into the coven as if I owned the d.a.m.n place. If I truly wanted to, it'd be mine.

But that is not for my intrusion, I am here for the smelly girl.

I brushed past several lingering people, baring my teeth at the weak and buffing my shoulders for the strong. The challenge I was presenting dared for them to come and battle me, I truly wanted them to stop me from seeing this smelly girl.

Maybe my demon would snap out of focus and realize that nothing in the coven was mine.

Nothing.

But my demon ignored my thoughts, shoving a door and making two women jump at the intrusion. The wolf from before, Zavier, bared his teeth at me as I snarled at him low within my throat.

”Great. Your sister can't seem to make you come and now we can't seem to make you stay away.” Dawn grumbled, clearly annoyed with my presence as I ignored her and dropped down on the ground beside Faye.

The horrid smell coming from the small girl who was limp against the ground. Her small blond curls sprayed around her head as her cherry lips looking b.l.o.o.d.y and cut. There was a deep wound on her head, revealing the matted deep red color in her blond hair.

My mate's clothes were tattered and ripped up from G.o.d knows who what. Several scars and scratches were clearly seen from underneath the clothes, the thin fabric making her s.h.i.+ver.

I quickly threw off my jacket, lifting her small form against me while putting the oversized coat on her. Her stench was strong but my demon did not care.

He cared for her wellbeing.

”This is unexpected.” Dawn mumbles to herself when Faye placed a hand on my shoulder making me snarl at her dangerously. Zavier roared in anger as she held her hand out to him and smiled at me.

Though it was strained and concerned, it seemed genuine causing my demon to relax a bit.

”Dylan. We need to see her injuries. The one inflicted to her heard may cause her to lose her eyesight. I need you to relax and let us look over her.” Faye whispered softly as my demon growled under his breath and held her closer. ”Please, Dylan... I need t-”

Before we realized what happened, an ear-piercing scream rang through the room.
