CHAPTER 10

The sun was about to set earlier than other days. It shows that the winters are closer than we expected. Though, the breeze was chilling the bones, but the hotness increased the surface tension when I noticed two wide eyes staring at me with horror wash off.

“What are you?” Martha asked.

“I am a she-wolf, a werewolf.” I started with pride in my voice.

“The Halloween is yet to come, so keep your idiotic jokes to yourself.’ she yelled at me but I could smell the fear rushing in her.

“I just showed a little teaser, if you want then I can show you the entire picture.” I smirked looking at her.

“I don’t believe you.” she snapped.

I focused my powers to shift in midair, and within a few seconds, I stood in front of her in my wolf form. Martha stands looking flabbergasted. Her eyes spoke of terror and she ran for her life. I jumped quickly and stopped her in her tracks.

“Help!” she screamed, but it baffled the voice.

I return to my human form and look at her in amusement, “I told ya!”

“Witch! You are a demon. Get away, lemme go.” she cried.

“Listen, Martha! I am not going to hurt you unless you do something to hurt me. I am trying to explain to you that Onyx and I are meant to be together.” I raised my voice.

“Onyx will never love you. You are not the type of girl he will ever look as a wife material.” she threw the poisonous words at me.

I lost my temper and grabbed her from the neck, “don’t you ever say that. He is mine and once i mark him, we will be bound together till eternity.” I let loose the grip of my neck and she fell on the ground.

Martha’s vision blurred and she passed out. I look at her in disbelief.

“Maybe I was wrong about you, but you are my only hope for now.” I whispered to myself.

I dragged her body to my rented place. I can’t take the risk of getting exposed. But what should i do with her? Oh! I hate this.

I chained her to the bed and went to take a shower. When I was back, Martha was struggling to get released from the chains.

“Bitch! Why the hell did you chain me here?” she asked aggressively.

“I know you will vomit it out in front of everyone that I Am not a mere human, I just protected my identity.” I stated.

“Screw you, bitch! Let me go!”

“Sorry, but I Can’t until i found a way to seal your fucking mouth.” I sneered.

“Oh! Well, my father has contacts with the police so they will come to search for me. Or I will scream at the top of my lungs until someone comes to save me.” Martha blurted out.

“No one is coming to save your ass. But I Can let you go if you help me.” I sprinkle some pepper on the topic.

“I will not help you. Fat chance!” she screamed at me.

“Whatever! Rot here till then.” I rolled my eyes and shut the door behind me. I can hear her cursing me loudly, but that is all going in vain.

“She will not help me, so I have to make a move by myself.” I thought and shifted in my wolf form.

I run wildly to Onyx’s house, though he will be pissed to see me, but he is my mate and he needs to understand that.

I stopped in the tracks before reaching his house. I transformed back to my wolf form and suddenly I realised that I forgot a set of clothes at home.

“Shit!” I cursed and climbed the wall up to Onyx’s room’s window. Luckily, he is not present here, so i sneaked and stole a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. They are loosely fitted, but they will work, at least.

I waited for him to come. I am nervous, but I have to make this happen. Soon, I heard the clicking sound of the doorknob and Onyx enter the room.

His eyes widened in bewilderness and he fumes at the very level just upon gazing at me.

“Hey! You were not there to attend the lecture.” I started the conversation.

“Why? Do you care? Or didn’t find anyone to humiliate?” he jabbed.

“No! I missed you.”

“Wonderful joke! I told you to leave me alone. Why are you here, Fiarra?” his voice stammers.

“I am your mate, I have every right to see you, touch you.” I stated and his eyes sharpen at me.

“I am not in a pleasant mood to tolerate this bullshit. My best friend hasn’t returned home yet. Her family is worried and the Police are investigating the matter, so choose your words wisely while talking to me.” 

“I thought you would throw me out of your home. It surprised me when you didn’t.”

He looked at me and replied with an unemotional tone, “I want to but I Am exhausted. I request you to leave.” he stands up and about to leave the room.

“Where are you going?” I asked.

“Ben and I will look for Martha. You can help if you want to.” he asked.

Now, I Am in a lot of trouble. If I refuse to help then my image won’t get clear in his mind and if I help them, I will die in guilt for leading them wrong. I can’t tell him I kidnapped her, not kidnapped exactly, but what I did for us.

“I will help you.” i will regret this, for sure.

For a while, I noticed a softened expression on his face.

“I will shift into my wolf. That will help because it will enhance my senses.” Why am I doing this?

“Thank you.” that’s all he said to me before going all zipped.

I shifted in my wolf form and jumped out of the window. Onyx followed me to the restricted area. I purposely brought him here so he will get distracted for a while and I will go back to my place.

I ran hard to the place, but what baffled me was to find Martha had escaped.

“Shit!” I cursed to myself.

“She will expose me in front of everyone and our wolf secret will be out soon.” 

I can’t let that happen. I have to stop her. I inhaled the air and caught her smell. She isn’t that far away.

I run in the direction from Where I got the smell and it’s getting stronger. I finally did the run when I blocked her way. She looked at me with a scared and terrorised glance, but suddenly her expressions turned dark.

“Catch her, guys!” That's all she commanded before i found myself trapped in a fishnet.
