Wolf Bond

Flinching, I cover my ears with my hands when an unreal growl errupts from him and he instantly shifts into his wolf. Only this time his wolf looks menacing and has a crazy murderous look in his eyes.

Leaning his head down, he inhales the piece of fabric which Donovon was holding in his hand and let out another furious growl.

My eyes fell on the fabric and I feel like I have lost the ability to speak as I realize to whom this belong to.

“Micah...” His name fall from my lips, as disbelief echoes in my word, “No, it is impossible...” I shake my head, not believing that Micah can do something like this.

No, it can’t be possible D told that person was some woman... so it is definitely not Micah.

“No, you must be mistaken, Micah can’t do something like this.” I glance at him then back at the piece of cloth which belonged to Micah’s shirt.

This is the shirt which Micah had lend Donovon to wear a few days back when Donovon had come to meet Ella since his shirt got dirty.

The next moment I hear the cracking of bones and Donovon furious face appears before my sight.

“Mistaken?” He narrows his eyes at me, “This is his shirt, that day Oliver pointed out the smell on this shirt belongs to the person who tried to take Ella. Micah has been fooling us all this time by pretending to be our friend.”

“No, he is not.” I shake my head refusing to believe that Micah might do something like this. “Moreover, D has said it’s some woman, so it can’t be him.”

“Maybe he is working with her and helping her.” He counters back. “Or maybe he is using someone else for his dirty business.”

There is a point in what Donovon has said but something in me tells me that he can’t do something like this. My heart is strongly telling me that Micah will not break my trust, and I choose to believe my heart as sometimes what you see is not the truth.

“Donovon, I refuse to believe that Micah is behind this.” Looking down at the floor, I shake my head, “He is just not like that...” Raising my palms, I shrug and let my hands fall on my sides.

“Why are not you believing me?” He asks frustratedly.

“Because, I know him.” I can’t help but feel annoyed because I don’t know how to convince him that he is wrong.

“Donovon, I don’t know how to make you believe but Micah can never do anything to harm me. He is my friend, he helped me in a way that no one did.” I run my hand through my hair and sigh.

Micah walked into my life when I needed someone who doesn’t treat me as if I am fragile. Everyone who was part of my life knew what had happened between me and Donovon and I could feel the pity in their eyes even though it was unintentional on their part. Whereas Micah... he never treated me differently, whenever I used to be upset instead of trying to divert my mind like others used to do, he would force me to talk about it. He used to say that I should not keep it inside my heart, and let it out of my system because keeping it inside means living with negativity which will only cause harm.

He taught me that my happiness should not be limited to a single person, and I should learn to find happiness inside me. I can’t tell in how many ways he has helped me.

“Ivory, why do I feel there is some other reason why you are siding with him, instead of believing me?” He gives me a look which I don’t like at all.

“What are you trying to say?” I lock my eyes with him. “Just say it clearly."

“Did something happened between you and him?” He clenches his jaws, “Do you have feelings for him just like he has for you?” His tone acussatory.

“Are you out of your mind?” I narrow my eyes at him, “Why the hell you would even think of something like this?”

“Ivory, I am not blind that I can’t see the bond which you two share.” He scoffs, “He even accepted in front of me that he loves you, and currently I feel that he is not the only one who has these feelings in their heart.”

I know how he feels for me, because this is one thing about Micah that he never hesitates to share how he feels. But at the same time he respects other person’s feelings too. He knows he can be never more than a friend to me, and I will always love him as a friend.

However Donovon's accusation makes something snap inside me, and before I know my fist connects with his face making him stumble back.

He touches the corner of his lips and wipe the blood as he looks at me in shock and disbelief which soon turns into anger.

“Listen, you piece of shit.” I glare at him clenching my hands to stop myself from hitting him again,“I have never tried to find solace in other man’s arms even when you were with someone else. So never again question my loyalty towards our relationship because next time if you do then I swear your bones will not be the only thing which I will break.” Warning echoing in my tone.

Ironically, this is something which Micah has helped me to realize that I should never let myself or my feelings taken for granted. There is one thing when you go to any extent for your loved ones, but it is completely another thing when you allow them to belittle you and your love for them and let them walk over you.

And I refuse to tolerate his nonsense.

Without waiting for his reply, I walk outside the room slaming the door behind me.

Going inside Ella’s room, I pick up her up from her crib and press my nose against her head and inhale deeply to calm my anger. Fire is angry as hell, and demanding me to go back to him and rearrange his face.

Not wanting to stay in the same place as him because at this moment I don’t think I can tolerate him anywhere near me, I pick up Ella’s diaper bag and decide to go to my house while taking Ella with me.
