4 Secret Place

I walked into the room where I was supposed to sleep with Xavier. After changing into comfortable clothes and getting ready for bed I came out of the bathroom to see my so-called mate laying on the wide sofa which I think wasn't broad for him because of his well-built muscular (not too muscular) body.

"Stand up." Before I could even process what was happening, I was standing in front of him saying this.

He opened his green eyes, which by the way were beautiful. He looked at me with his eyebrows pulled together.

"Stand up," I said again, and this time he listened to me.

"What happened?" He asked while looking at me, up and down.

Without saying a word I made myself comfortable on the sofa, all the while he was watching me.

"What?" I raised a brow at the guy who was looking at my every move without even blinking. "Go sleep."

"Ummm.....I was sleeping here," he said to me, confusion was written all over his face.

"More like trying-to-fit-myself on the seat." I rolled my eyes. "I don't want this poor thing to be in pain all night, go and sleep on the bad Mr. green eyes." I mentally punched myself, why would I say this to him?

"A what?" A soft smile touched his lips.

"Just go." I was about to turn, but he stopped me "I can't let you sleep here. It's so uncomfortable here," he said and for a second I want to hug him but restrain myself.

"I'm good here."

*******

I was eating my breakfast when Mr.green eyes enter the kitchen and not only this he was half-naked! His black hairs were wet as water drops down when he shakes his head.

I coughed and fastly drink the water that was in front of me.

'Today's morning is amazing.' My wolf is surely going crazy.

'No, it's not.' I blocked her so she can not say anything else.

"I didn't know you are that poor," I told him while eating, pretending that I didn't just choke on my food because of him being naked nor I saw him smiling evilly when he saw my reaction.

"Huh?" He looked cute when he is confused.

Don't admire him, you idiot. I scolded myself.

"Don't worry I will buy you a shirt so you can wear that." I stopped myself from laughing when I saw his face change from baffled one to shocked and then blank.

"I have enough clothes, I don't like wearing much at home. Other girls never complained about it though." He replied with a smirk while eating the breakfast that I don't know why I prepared for him.

"Well, boys never complained when I workout in bra and shorts but it does not mean that I would roam around like that in front of every guy. Everyone has different likes and dislikes." I didn't expect it but the next second I was pinned on the wall.

"What did you just said?" Xavier looked like he could kill anyone right now.

"I said something? When? I think I forgot it." I said sweetly and went back to my food which was nearly finished.

While my angry mate whose eyes were turning purple, blue, black, and green which means he was fighting very hard from his powers which were taking over him, he took his shirt and went outside. Not to forget closing the door loudly.

I feel bad seeing him like this. But it wasn't supposed to make him this angry. I don't want to hurt him but wasn't that my plan? To give them pain? Take my revenge and then leave them after all this?

This all is driving me crazy!

*******

I kept walking until a familiar feeling of calmness took over the anger and confusion. I looked around me, still the same.

Green, just like Xavier ey- stop it, Stella. The trees surrounding me were not only calming, but they make me feel protected. Each plant fighting for the sunlight as every stem of the tree was trying to reach the top. A big river with blue water which was meeting the sky from my point of view.

My secret place, which not many people know, was still the same. But I wasn't. I wasn't the same innocent and naive kid without my wolf. Seems like it's true that people change but not memories and places, they always remain the same. This place knows everything about me, every time I cry here, every pain, every weakness but still, it was the same. Helping me and saving me from my problem.

*****

I once again sat in the same place for an hour just watching the river and admiring the beauty of the place. As being just 10 years old the tree and deep water were interesting for me.

I don't know what to do it wasn't like I had anything to do and just thinking about going back was making me scared as in anger I had slapped my small sister and I don't think her mother would go easy on me.

The sun was half inside the water as that was what it was looking like. Just when my eyes were about to be closed I heard someone.

"Is anyone here." A stranger shouted from trees. Should I run or help him?

I walked toward the place from where the voice was coming as I don't think it's good leaving someone like this.

I knew this place very well and that's why I never got astray in these dense trees but anybody new would surely be lost.

I saw a boy who would be bigger than me, his back was facing me. I looked at him and I think he was hurt as his hands were bleeding.

"Are you okay?" I asked slowly and he turned around to face me. His green eyes with fair clean skin and red lips were making him look good but the blood on his clothes was making me afraid.

"Hey, Who are you?" His voice was beautiful. Soft but firm.

"I'm Stella, I usually come here. What are you doing here?" I again asked him.

"Well.....uh.....I was just running from a wolf who was chasing me," He said.

"You went outside the pack!" I looked at him like he is an idiot, why would he do that?

"Please don't tell this to anyone." He said but I don't know what to do. I wouldn't have liked it if someone had told something about me to my father, so I nodded to him.

"Are you lost?" I asked him, and he moved his head in a yes.

********

I opened my eyes fastly, just to see myself wet by the rain.

Oh, God!

I looked at my clothes which were now see-through and without even thinking I made a run for the house.
