Chapter 18

MILA

I smile at him.

“Your pack is in the cafe, you will have to go around to the front of the cafe” I say “But I have a request or well more like a secret you will have to keep.”

“What’s that?” He asks with a weird look on his face. “Don’t tell anyone who saved you please, I don’t want people knowing” I say as I move to get up onto my feet.

Sam looks at me with curious eyes as I stretch my arms out to check them “Why? You saved me. My brother will be happy with that.”

“I know but I’m sorry but no one should know, not even your pack, Sam, this town is my home and I don’t want there to any problems” I say as I help him to his feet.

I smile at him.

I have to think on my feet with what to say to him next.

“I tell you what, you don’t tell anyone about me, just tell them someone pushed you out of the way and you didn’t see who it was and I will meet you at the border and show you around, maybe tomorrow.” I say.

I feel my pockets, once I found what I was looking for I grabbed my mobile out. I grabbed a piece of paper that was nearby on the floor and lucky for me due to the cafe I put a pen in my hair, through the elastic band that held my ponytail tight. I wrote down my number and handed it to him.

“What’s this?” He asks, looking at my number.

I smiled down at him.

“My number, when you want to come for a tour of the town or even just want to sneak away, I will meet you here.” I say to him pointing to the clearing behind the cafe.

He looks at where I am pointing to and smiles “You would do that for me” he asks.

I nod and turn to him “Yeah only if you keep this a secret. I don’t want anyone knowing” I say.

I was about to walk away but I was suddenly stopped by a small pair of arms wrapping around my waist from behind. Sam hugged me. I smile to myself. I turn around and place my arms around him. Luckily my wounds have healed or he would have been covered in my blood.

“I will keep your secret, what’s your name?” He asks.

“Mila” I say.

I turn to leave “Mila, Why don't you want anyone to know you are a werewolf?” He asks, catching me off guard.

My blood runs cold and I turn to look at his blue eyes staring back at me. I gasp “How did you know?” I asked.

He looks at me and pauses for a few seconds “I’m a werewolf but my wolf is not here yet as I’m only 9. I have another three years yet till mine comes. But I can smell your scent when you were fighting that rogue” he says, staring at the lifeless body on the floor but turns to look at me “I won’t tell anyone as I can keep a promise.”

“Do you think we can trust him?” I ask Sapphire who seems more curious of the boy as I am. “I think we can,” she says, wagging her tail. I think my wolf likes like. "He smells like mate" she says, suddenly.

They must be siblings.

I look at him and smile “Sam, Can you keep another secret? My wolf is very different. I don’t really like wolves much as they are horrible, especially the ones like that man. I don’t want anyone to know and most of our town knows but we keep it a secret as I help deal with the rogues.”

He is looking at me with eyes in wonder “Your wolf is different how?”

“He asks loads of questions,” Sapphire giggles to me "I like him."

I giggle “My wolf Sapphire thinks you ask too many questions and she likes you. She is just a little different Sam.” I have to leave out the power we have, I don't want to scare him.

Sam laughs “Sapphire sounds cool, Ox my brother's wolf is grumpy and doesn’t like to play” he says.

“SO, can you keep my secret? I would like for you to be my friend, to be honest I only have one friend but it be cool to be friends with you” I say.

His face brightens and smiles.

“Yes I will keep everything a secret Mila and I definitely will be your friend too” he says as he gives me one last hug.

He turns to walk to the front of the cafe to go in and I head back in through the back way.

As I walk in I literally run into Gloria who has a big smile on her face but takes a look at my arms and her eyes go big “All sorted now” she says but there is loads of commotion out the front. Gloria keeps looking at me.

“She knows what happened,” Sapphire says and smiles.

Gloria nods her head as if she is talking to both Sapphire and me. I nod.

“I think you best go and clean yourself up, stay upstairs for a while as I think they will want to check the grounds or something but they won’t find him there, I contacted Barry a few seconds ago and he is disposing the body as we speak” she says turning but looks over her shoulder at me “He’s a nice young man, just stupid and horny. He will come around my dear” while giving me a wink as she goes through the door.

Sapphire giggles while I’m left gaping at her.
