Fight or Flight

I didn't know what to do. Between being dragged back to the room, and having grey leave me I felt guilty. To me, I hadn't done anything wrong, but I still felt like it. I didn't want to be here. I didn't need to be protected when I can take care of myself just fine. I don't know why they were trying so hard to protect me. Even if I was his mate he didn't even know me. He had no idea of my past or anything. What would he do if he found out? From what I read in books, a mate was disrespected if they were not a virgin. So what would happen to me if I got my hopes up. Would I be thrown away like the dirty trash I was? More than likely. No one wanted someone like me in their life.

It wasn't long till Jaimie came barging into the after-grey left. Rushing me out of the room. "What's wrong Jaimie?" The look he was showing was making me worried. "We have rogues attacking us, I must gather you and everyone who can't find the safe house" I followed Jaimie as quickly as I could. Knowing the situation was dire I didn't question Jaimie one bit.

"We must fight Anna" I heard her before I sensed she was in my head. "What?... I don't know a single thing on how to fight…I'll only get in the way" Was she crazy? "I will do it, we are strong enough for mere rogues!" I began to panic I had no idea how she the idea into her heart. "How?" I had to believe in her. If she believed we could do it, I had to believe too. "We change into our wolf and I'll take over…Don't worry about the young alpha I will take care of him to" I turned away from Jaimie running the opposite way. "Sorry, Jaimie! Get everyone to safety! Don't worry about me" I changed mid-conversation not listening to what he had to say. Then Diana was in control.

I watched through her's and my eyes in the back of her mind. She was strong. So many had tried to grab at her but missed sorely. I watched on with amazement as she fought the enemy taking down one by one or two or more. Soon they had hightailed it back to wherever they had come from. Even though I wasn't the one fighting I felt the power we had and what we could do. "There is much more than that child" I perked up as I heard her speak.

We headed back to the packhouse. Even though in wolf form Diana walked with a sense of purpose and power. "What the fuck are you doing Anna?" I turned to my left seeing grey covered in blood walking towards me. My heart scampered out of place as I worried for him. If it was his blood or not. Diana growled back in return. "Alpha or not you do not speak to us like that! And I helped protect your pack young one" Diana was furious I could tell.

"Is that you Diana?" His question was answered with an angry growl of a yes. "You're willing to risk the safety of your human half? You had no idea what enemies were attacking and still risked fighting. What would you have done if Anna couldn't take it?" Grey was not backing down. "God or not, you and Anna are my mate and I will do everything I can to protect her, but you do not help when you come and fight a battle you do not know anything about" He was mere inches from our face. Snout snarling as she lowered herself realizing the situation at hand. "I knew I could fight, so I did." She had let me take back control, sitting in the far back of my mind sulking to herself.

I walked on ignoring the angry alpha tired of it all. Feeling the exhaustion my body felt. But I did know one thing, I wanted the control Diana had. If I was going to be stuck here I might as well learn how to fight. So no one would have to protect me again. I changed back to a human growing even more tired as I headed to where I would be locked up once again.

I sat up as I heard the bedroom door open and close. In walked grey. "What are you doing?" Grey stormed into the bathroom completely ignore my question. I sat and waited till he came out.

Boy was I mistaken. He was delicious, I licked my lips in anticipation for he was only covered by a towel and left little to the imagination. My eyes roamded from head to toe devouring every bit of him. My core pulsed as I thought of all the dirty ways he could have me. "I know what you're thinking I can smell it" His voice was gruff. I flushed with embarrassment as I covered myself under the doona. Hoping to hide from him. I heard the rustling of clothes being put on. Wondering if I could peak a look. Instead, I stayed under the covers.

I turned around as I felt the bed dip behind me. "What are you doing?" I scowled hating the thought he could just come to lay here and try something. "Going to sleep Anna, I'm exhausted from the battle. Can I please just lay here for the night with my mate in my arms" The pleading look he gave me undid the anger I had? Feeling guilty I nodded my head in agreement.

AS much as the alpha man was overbearing and arrogant. Could it be possible to give it ago? Would I be walking away from the best thing that could happen to me? Or was it going to just get worst? I didn't want to have to start all over again. Getting myself on track all these years was hard enough. LEaving my parents being on my own, always on the run. Was it okay to settle down? What would grey think though when he knows the truth. Would he be disgusted with me? I didn't want to find out the truth and be broken all over again. I don't if I would would be able to make it alive.

Turning back to face the other way. I felt his arms wrap around me pulling me closer to him. For some reason, it made me calm to be near him. I felt relaxed and soon drifted off to sleep.
