Chapter 33: Survival Has Teeth

The wolf from my dream was here. It was physically here. It was massive, with glowing blue eyes. He looked pissed. Monica shook next to me.

“Holy fuck…. I can't do this!” Monica's voice was laced with fear. She dropped the knife she held at my side. She turned to flee. Before she got the chance. The black wolf pounced on her. Chad was nowhere to be seen. Of course, P.O.S. The wolf growled in her girl's face. Monica began sobbing. I couldn’t let her die.

WHY SHE WANTED YOU DEAD.

A deep, angry male voice sounded in my head. I stood in disbelief. The wolf was looking at me. Cold fury in his eyes. I knew he wasn’t mad at me but, I froze on the spot. We stared down each other. No one is budging. I think he was waiting for my answer.

I AM

Holy crap, this was crazy. “Because she wasn’t acting alone. There is something bigger going on.” I tell the wolf. I think I lost it. This couldn’t be real.

Explain

“Give me a minute. This is cray.” I tell him trying to get my thoughts in order.

Hurry, I am losing my patience.

I try to think of everything that happened.

“Danni!” I familiar voice sounded behind me. “Whats– HOLY SHIT” Joel was standing behind me.

“You see the wolf too?” I asked.

“Uh, yeah. Are you okay? Lets get you out of here—” Joel says as he goes to grab me. The wolf let out a growl that made all of us stop.

NO ONE TOUCHES YOU.

“He doesn’t want you to touch me,” I explain.

“You can understand him,” Joel asks in disbelief.

“You can't?” I ask, just as confused.

“No.” Joel shook his head as he walked away from me. “Is this distance okay?” Joel asked, looking from me to the wolf.

YES

“He said yes.” I answer out loud.

“Danni. What is going on?” Joel asked, I can see people starting to gather. In the corners of my vision.

“I don't know!” I want to cry. I want Luka. I am scared and feel alone.

TELL THE GIRL IF SHE MOVES SHE DIES.

“What?” Tears burn in my eyes starting to blur my vision.

DO IT.

“Monica? Don't move, or you will die? The wolf wanted you you know?” I say confused. I didn't even look at her. I hear her sob out a response. I hope she agreed. The wolf approached me. Just as he was about to reach me I see Joel move towards me. The wolf growled.

“It is okay, Joel, He won't hurt me,” I tell Joel as the wolf approaches me and sits. His tail wraps around me. I am instantly relaxed. I rub my face in his fur and enjoy his warm. I feel safe, and I calm down. I am hit with the scent of sandalwood and citrus. Luka’s scent.

“What?” I questioned out loud.

I am his. He is mine. We are one. Like you and the white wolf.

My eyes bug out of my head a bit. I want to ask questions.

Not now.

Right. I have to tell them what's going on, even if it doesn’t make sense.

Yes.

“So I am not sure if this was going to make sense. It sounds crazy to me.” I begin unsure of what to make of all this.

“Whatever it is. Tell me so I can help.” Joel reassured.

Yes. I want to know why you want her life spared when she tried killing my mate's person.

My eyes widen, but now wasn’t the time for that. I would have to talk to Luka about it later.

“So, Chad wanted Monica to kill me, so that my death would cause the Holloways and Lycans packs to be thrown into chaos. But I think he meant family and not pack? He was talking about being alpha and ruling everything?” Who were the Lycans anyway? I still didn’t know.

Luka Lycan is full pack name.

I looked up at him. I had no clue. “I don’t know why Monica had to kill me for this to happen?” I don’t know why It would throw the families into chaos? It doesn’t make sense? I am a nobody.” I say out loud. The black wolf growls at me.

You are the most important thing to us. Stop that.

“Danni. You are family to us. You always have been and always will be family. We love you.” Joel tells me and the wolf growls at Joel. Joel steps back. “We love her like a sister. It’s okay. I understand.”

“So why is it so important that Monica kill me? What good would that do for Chad?” I ask. It didn’t make sense.

“Because she's human. And if one of us retaliates against her. There are so many laws broken that we would lose everything. This is neutral land. No killing.”  Joel explained. But that confused me. We are all humans.

No, you are not.

What? I look up at the wolf and felt dizzy.

Get on my back we are leaving.

“What? I am fine.” I say out loud.

I felt your diyyiness. I am going to take you to him. He will care for your injuries.

“Danni? Are you okay?” Joel asked, concerned.

“I–” I go to lie.

DO NOT LIE.

“I think I need to see a doctor. I am feeling a bit divvy,” I tell Joel.

“Need me to help?” Joel asks wondering if he should approach.

I will take you. Tell him to punish her for what she has done to you.

“Uh… No, He is going to take me?” I Look up at the wolf. He nudges me on the arm to continue. “He is taking me to Luka and he wants the girl punished.” I tell Joel and he looks at the wolf.

“It will be done.” Joel says.

The wolf huffs an approval. Then proceeds to get into a position for me to climb his back.

“How are we going to get down to the elevator,” I asked

No Need. He is here.
