Chapter 90
As she got closer she said something, I couldn't hear, I was busy watching Bella. She seemed so intrigued by the situation but not in a good way.
Claire finally walked up to me and with all the courage she could master, she strangled my testicles to death. I did not see that coming and had caught me off guard. Was she insane! What did she think she would achieve by doing that.
Regaining my composure, I remember to look at Bella to see how all this was affecting her. I look and there she is right on the ground looking like she is losing it.
Without hesitation I slap Claire off of me and immediately rush to my wife's side screaming her name. of course Claire might have been hurt as well as I hit her across the face, but it is what she deserves. She can't just come and wreck a home and not expect to get a blow from me.
As I got to her side, I threw myself to the ground where she lay. It stung my heart so bad to see her like this. If I had known that the game was going to be this sick I would have declined.
I was reluctant to touch her, what if she got up and recoiled from my grasp, I wouldn't be able to handle that. I know she didn't love me as much as she said she did, she admitted it herself that time when she refused to clean herself.
With that thought I felt my heart clench and squeeze. Of all things in the world I respected a woman's choice. I was just happy that I got whatever I could and that she did not tell it to my face the way it is. I don't think any man would like it if they were told that they were not loved the way they thought. A man likes his pride.
She really looked unconscious now, I had to check if she still had a pulse. Quickly getting done with that and being satisfied with the results, I scoop her up in my arms and carry her in the direction of the car she dropped from.
Moving to cover the distance, I notice a blue vintage car parked close to my beta stride's car. The car looked haggard and aged but still in good condition.
"Aiden" Claire calls my name, I stop and try to compose myself. This was not the time to lose control of everything and go batshit crazy and pissed just because a bratty girl didn't get her toy.
"You are going to regret having to walk away from me Mr. Davis" she continues. I contemplate just walking away and let her say her offences like I could give a damn. For all I care she could go get hit by a bus, or she could just have a personal intimate meeting with my two fists if I hadn't promised myself not to hit in a state of anger. The only way you were getting me to hit a woman is if I am angry, so it is out of the question.
I think about it real hard and make my finale decision, as I lift my foot of the ground in the direction of the car, I hear it. My sweet little Raven, she giggled behind me. I immediately turn and see Claire holding her and Rafe in a man's arms. Whoever the man was I didn't matter, what mattered was that I could see my pups all safe.
"You see Aiden," she gives me the pleasure of narrating to me what I must have seen coming. "I do not want to make this hard for you, the rules were simple and all you had to do was follow them" she says sounding more and more exasperated with every word she drew out.
I remain silent, I saw no point in trying to see reason with an insane person, it would have gone well if she chose to listen, she didn't. and it was all my fault now. "Women" I say under my breath
She sees my straight and serious face and realizes that I am not interested in chitter chatter like a bunch of women gossiping in a salon. She went straight to the point and nailed. Boy did she nail it hard.
"You see Aiden, if you take a step and leave with your wife in your arms like that then you better get ready for black clothes. Mourning should look nice on that pale skin of hers" she says mock-checking out my wife's face. I knew she couldn't see it but I felt protective and shy aware from Claire's gaze.
She had to be bluffing right, if she had wanted she would have killed them long ago.
"Think I am bluffing?" she reads my mind "Aiden, I will not hesitate to call a group of friends who are enthusiastic about werewolves. Give them something more precious, werewolf pups coming from the Alpha himself." She pauses and looks me in the eye, "Do you want to know who those friends are?"
"Who?" I couldn't help myself but ask.
"The humans" she says all calm hearted. "I've found myself in good friendship with them, they do have a burning passion for werewolves if I might be so bold."
She looks to her right where that man stands with my pup in his arms, "See Antony, I told you he wouldn't believe me." At this point of course I was sure she was capable of anything that started with crazy. But I was focused on the Antony guy, he looked like a person I have never seen before. He was not from these parts I could see.
I study him further and catch him sneak a glance towards Claire. It was not just any ordinary glance, it looked like a lover's glance. He had longing in his eyes, I could see he was in love. Boy if I could warn you I would.
