Chapter 20
"Get off me!" I huffed and pulled her away from my body roughly that she lost balance and made to fall heavily on the ground, my hand stretched itself out and caught hold of her before she could hit the ground,
She smiled, and I frowned staring at my grasp around her hand,
"You are really caring and..." She hadn't finished those words before I released my grasp, letting her fall finally,
"Get lost!...you are being so lucky I'm in a good mood, no matter what you had done for me, just know you are bound to die by my claws!" I scoffed walking away at the same time.
I'm surprised I hadn't killed her instantly for stepping into the secret garden.
I don't know why, there was no mate scent from her but just her touch was giving me goosebumps like for real, I don't understand,
She groaned and rose from the ground, I didn't care to check on her talk more of turning my gaze not until I heard her footstep running to catch up with me.
What the heck!
I turned sharply and glared so hard at her, I could sense she had lost her fear for me.
"If you follow me, I'll surely kill you!" My voice thundered through the garden,
"I am not following you" she shrugged and walked past me,
"Then where are you going to?" I asked with a frown.
"Finding my way out of here, the school bell has rung for the break over, I can't bear to miss a single teaching" she sighed.
I let out a scoff before sitting right on the bench there, she isn't aware of the magic around here, there was no way she was going to find her way out except I made it so.
"Where is the path to leave here!!" She grumbled after some minutes of going to and fro.
"You remember when I said I would kill you right? you remembered when I said you aren't going out alive right?. You should remember all that and get ready for your death instead of a way out, you will die before leaving!" I huffed without glancing at her, "You are still going to kill me?" She asked and I rolled my eyes at her.
"How did you still get your wolf powers after that night you foolishly saved me?.and how didn't they find out you saved me?. I'm certain if they find out, you would be killed instantly!" I scowled.
"Thank you for covering my wounds, it helped save my a*s, if they had seen a fresh wound, they would confirm I'm the one!" She breathed, bowing a bit.
"It was a mistake!" I muttered with a hiss.
"My wolf powers was restored immediately, I don't know how?" She exclaimed with a shrug.
"And now, you surpassed me with your speed, I couldn't get you, don't tell me you aren't a mere wolf?" I furrowed my brow and scrutinized her from head to toe,
"I'm not a mere Wolf, I'm a miserable one, I am alive by chance, just let me go" she pleaded.
"I'll only let you go if we fight here and now, and you were able to give me a single hit for an hour, just a single blow from you, and I'll admit defeat!" I sneered and stood up while she moved back slowly.
"In one hour, If you don't hit me once, I will dig out your heart!" I growled with heavy breath towering a bit to look at her, she really looked like an ant in my eyes,
"I can't fight. You...' she whimpered.
"But you can outrun me right?.you can restore your lost wolf powers?.f**k!...you really take my words lightly now, I guess the fears are gone until I break your bones!!!" I roared so loud that the whole place shook. Lena's POV.
"Just when I thought we would survive, it all became worse" Elena my wolf sobbed in fear and sadness,
I whimpered with her and took steps backwards as my gaze was fixed on the handsome but scary Xander in front of me,
He has a great body, his torso looked so enticing with those pops of muscles from his chest down to his belly, all noticed even with the school uniform he wore,
Just the moment he roared, I felt the cold chills of fear taking over my entire body, I couldn't move anymore, his face had turned from being a bit soft which it was to that of a blood-sucking demon, I could already see fangs form in his mouth, his eyes were turning blood-red.
I raised my head slowly, so I could see his eyes clearly, I have a short figure which is very much visible when standing in front of this giant Xander in front of me,
How on Earth would I fight with him and have a chance of hitting him for once, I'm weak and miserable!
He took steps forward to me while I moved backwards, fretting so hard.
"You won't fight me, right?" He growled and I shook my head sideways vigorously,
"Then don't blame me for killing you" he growled and made to attack me.
"I will fight you!!!!" I screamed in fear, knowing fully well that I was going to regret it, which I really did.
For hours, I kept fighting with the wind, each attack from me was dodged so easily by him, all the force and little powers I got was wasted as I got no chance to touch his cloth, I was breathing so heavily but kept trying, he would be standing in front of me, but I won't be able to hit him, he finds out my motives before I unleash any on him.
I tried stopping the fight, but it seemed he was doing something to my head as I found myself fighting the more even when all my strength was sapping away.
Hot tears filled my eyes, my whole bones were weak, and I could feel my joints become sour, my fingers were shaking that I couldn't make a strong fist.
"You got to keep fighting, keep on!" He scoffed, and I really kept on, it was impossible to stop, and I knew he was using magic on me without knowing I was dying,
I had passed through a lot and my wolf is weak, my entire system is worn out, I got no strength, especially when I can't shift and had been subjected to a lot of t*****e recently. "Xander... I'm...dying..." My voice sounded more like a whisper, I couldn't talk normally again, not when I lost all strength.
My attack was like touch, and yet, I hadn't given him a single blow, my eyes closed, and I lost consciousness, everything turned around my eyes, I felt real dizzy losing my head, "Xander...please..." I pleaded, but it was in my heart as I couldn't make any sound, I must have made a mistake of thinking Xander had turned soft a bit,
He was still the cruel monster who doesn't care about anyone, he knew I was dying yet won't stop.
I fell heavily to the ground and everything blackout.
Hutton's POV
The school bell rang for closure and my eyes roamed around once more as joy surged through me, a deep sigh of relief escaped my lips with a huge smile filling my face,
It has been a long she went in there and hadn't come back, I don't need a soothsayer to know she must have been dead already, no one goes in there and come back alive.
Words can't explain how relieved I am, at first, I had thought she would come back alive soon as she had always found a way of being alive even when death roams around her, I couldn't just wait to get home and tell Dad of her death,
I picked up my back bag and head out of the class hurriedly, I got outside and saw almost all the students gathered around something, they were all watching a scene which made me curious,
No one was heading home as they stood around and stared at whatever must be going on,
I sped to the crowd and my eyes nearly popped out at what I saw, the shock I felt left my legs wobbling.
Right there in front of me and every student was Xander carrying Lena in his arms as he walked out of the garden, gently taking each step at a time.
She was motionless and that gave me a little spark of joy, maybe she was already dead, I don't care if he decides to bring her out.
"What are you doing with my mate??" I huffed with a pretence grimace.
He paused his pace and turned to me with a sneer.
"You killed her?..you killed my mate..." I faked a cry.
"Is she your mate?" he asked, with his tone deep and rough,
"Everyone knows that you killed her because she is my mate, you hate me so deep, let me have her body please!" I shrilled, bringing out murmurs from all the students as they moved back with their heads wagging in sadness and fear. "Fool." I heard him scoff before dropping her there on the floor, walking away immediately.
Xander's POV.
It was more like I was running than walking as I head home, my head was filled up with different thoughts which I couldn't comprehend.
"What is this I feel about that young girl?" I asked my little wolf.
"Her wolf looks so beautiful with white fur" Kane, my wolf, replied with a deep sigh.
"You also admire her?" I exclaimed, but he hissed and lay down, shutting his eyes.
"I don't have anything to do with admiration, I still want her dead!" he scoffed,
"what if she turns out to be our mate?" I asked in a whisper.
"Then we will have to kill her instantly!" he blurted,
"Yes, mate, it is a weakness which would make one vulnerable to their enemy." I howled and grit my teeth.
"Why do I feel like we won't be able to kill her after finding out she is our mate?" Kane mumbled, and I felt cold chills run through me, his words sank into me and for real, I felt it deep in me...
I won't be able to kill her, just today she should have been dead, but I saved her with my inner energy after she collapsed from fighting with all her strength, it was clear she would die if I had left her in the garden, I don't know where the great pity towards her came from.
I had taken several steps away only to find out I couldn't leave her, my heart was so heavy, my inner wolf was restless, I couldn't find peace, it looked so unreal but really happened.
Not only that, but I ended up going back to saving the life of the same girl I should kill instantly, and I even brought her out in my arms.
