13 Chapter 13: (1/2)

”Come on. Sun's rising.” I tossed his bag at him, s.h.i.+fting within a moment before walking out of the cave with an annoyed huff.

The sun hadn't even started peaking over the horizon, but I couldn't stand being in that cave with him even longer. What he did last night hurt me and I know it was my fault as well.

I knew that saying I hated our mate bond would hurt him, but it was true.

I'd rather be alone for the rest of my life rather than risk everything for another man.

Another family.

”The sun's not even out.” He points out, looking just as tired as I felt when I looked away from him and marched back into the forest. I sniffed the ground, following the faint cinnamon and ash smell while allowing myself to feel the nature around us.

This was rogue lands and I knew a rogue was nothing like an a.s.sa.s.sin, but they can be just as dangerous in packs. I killed many rogues on this path when I was younger.

This place was where I released all my anger.

And there was a rogue pack nearby...

'Stay here. I'll be back before sunrise.' I spoke through our mate bond, suddenly despising while das.h.i.+ng for another direction. The rogue pack that I was heading to was always a problem and they somehow rebuild after I tear them apart.

It's been years since I've been there, but it would be very fun to tear them apart again.

”If you're going to go kill them, you're not going alone,” Levi tells me, walking beside me as I hissed at him like a cat.

Son of a b.i.t.c.h!

”Forgot to close the mind link. Now either let me come or we are heading for your pack.” He says in a stern voice before I s.h.i.+fting back quickly and shoved a finger in his chest.

”Don't tell me what to do.” I snarl as he grabbed my hand and shoved me against a tree.

”Don't stab me with your nail.” He warns, his blue eyes darker than usual when I twisted in his hold but it didn't work. I narrowed my eyes at him, lifting my other hand to shove him off me but he only grabbed that hand as well.

”You son of a b.i.t.c.h,” I growl while he shook his head and stepped forward to close to gap between us.

”Don't be mean. You're the one who's attacking me and is trying to kill yourself just to settle your anger.” He tells me, skimming his lips over my neck making me squirm.

”You're an a.s.shole.” I breathed out, leaning away from where he was kissing my neck. The feeling so erotic that it made all my anger fly out of me.

”You love it.” He growls, moving to the open s.p.a.ce where a mate mark was placed. When his lips kissed that area everything inside of me released making me yelp loudly. ”You loved that.” He notes, devouring that place with his lips causing me to squirm more against him.

”Oh Jesus! Levi, I can't-”

”What do we have here?” A low voice suddenly questions in front of us. The cold dead stare only darkened at the sight of me making my mind snap back to my childhood.

”Thomas...” I whispered, the heat of the moment gone as I softly pushed Levi off of me. He growled at the release, both of us wanting more but my old childhood friend staring at me in disbelief.

”Who the h.e.l.l are you and how do you know my name?” Thomas snarled, his curly dark blonde mane all crazed as his brown eyes narrowed in on Levi's blue ones.

”Calm down, Thomas. It's me, Nava.” I confess expecting him to jump in glee like he always did but he didn't. His eyes only grew harder before he lifted a gun which surprised me because wolves normally don't use human weapons.

”How the f.u.c.k do you know Nava?! She died five years ago!” He roared when Levi grabbed my arm and pushed me behind his body.

”No stop.” I pushed Levi away and stood in front of Thomas, my old friend shaking in pain as I unclasped the cape and handed it to Levi.

”What are y-”

”Shut up, Levi,” I warn, kneeling down and pulling up the leggings I had on. Thomas still had the gun trained on me and I knew that Levi could easily take it away from him, but I didn't want to do that.

Thomas would think we are enemies.

”Look.” I tossed the boot I had on and revealed our friends.h.i.+p tattoo. ”Tell me that no one else has our drunken tattoo.” I smiled widely seeing him shudder at the sight and drop the gun.

”Nava...” He clasped his hand over his mouth as I dove over to him and hugged him tightly.

”Yeah. It's me.” I squeezed him tightly and pulled away with a large smile. ”You have no idea how much I've missed you! You have to tell me everything! How's Dad, Mom, grandma?! Is everyone okay?! Any surprising mate couples?! I'm so excited to hear the new gossip!” I shout excited holding both of his hands and jumping a little bit.

I couldn't help myself around Thomas.

My wolf always grew excited around him and I never understood why.

Not like I cared!

”Oh, girl you got a lot to tell as well! Get that fine a.s.s over here and we can talk the whole way home.” Thomas growls when I laughed and hooked my arm with his.

Levi stood in the background, unsure of what to say but I knew that by the hold Thomas had on me he didn't trust Levi.

I couldn't blame him.

Barack was his brother.
