Chapter Fifty-Six: Drawing them away from her
Travis
I grabbed Tillie’s hand, pulling her closer to me as Ryan turned away from the two of us. His body contorted and a loud cracking
sound filled the silence of the forest. His skin rippled as the shift took hold of him. He hunched over and Tillie let out a cry as she
stiffened beside me. She tried to pull her hand away and I gripped her tighter. “He’s okay.”
*Travis, let me go. He’s hurt.” She said, trying to pull her hand away again and I shook my head.
“No, he’s not, Tillie,” I said as he fell forward. Dark fur sprouted from his skin and his clothing ripped at the seams as his legs
seemed to pop out of place. “I promise he’s not hurt. Ryan’s shifting.”
We watched him change from a man into a black wolf. His fur was just as dark as his hair was when he was human. He was
goddamn beautiful. Tillie gasped beside me and I looked down at her. Her hand covered her mouth and her eyes had gone wide.
“He’s a wolf.”
“We’ve been telling you that.” I smirked and she shook her head, pulling her hand back.
“Travis, he’s a wolf.” She repeated, looking from Ryan’s wolf over to me.
“Yeah, sweets he’s faster like this. We all are.”
He dipped his head and I nodded. “I’ll take care of her.”
“Ryan.” Tillie said, taking a half step forward and he let out a huff, shaking his head.
“No, sweets. He is going to lead them away while we meet up with Jason. You can fawn over Ryan in his wolf form when he gets
back to the house.” I said, feeling a lump form in the back of my throat. I didn’t want him to fucking leave us. If he were here, I
would be able to keep him safe. Logically, I knew that he could take care of himself. He was strong and fast.
Hell, he trained our pack. He had bested me more times than I could count, but I still didn’t want him to leave. The thought of
something happening to my mate filled me with fear. I closed off the link that I shared with both him and Tillie. It wouldn’t do to.
make either of them panic from what I was feeling.
It would make it harder for Ryan to concentrate on what he needed to do. He was fast and I knew he would stay out of danger.
That he would come back to us. He had to. We had only just found our mate. We had only just found each other.
We were supposed to grow old together. Fighting and fucking and keeping up with our human mate.
“Travis.” Tillie said, pulling me out of my thoughts and I shook my head as Ryan seemed to disappear into the forest.
“He’ll be okay.” I said, more to myself than to her. She nodded, biting her lower lip.
“I’m sorry, if I hadn’t come outside” She started to say but I turned to her, putting my finger over her lip as a howl rang out. It was
Ryan. He was trying to draw them deeper into the woods away from us.
“It’s just Ryan. I would have come into the woods anyways. This just sped things up. It means we’ll get to the good stuff before
“Thank you, he’ll be okay right?.” She said and I dipped my head down to press my lips to hers.
“Yeah, he’ll be fine. You know you can always thank me with that dirty mouth like you did for Jason.” I smirked and her cheeks
grew red at my teasing.
“Travis.”
“Let’s go going.” i held her hand, pulling her away from the trail and onto a path that was well worn and had fewer leaves and
things she might trip over on it. She was human, so it wasn’t easy for her to keep quiet, and I didn’t want to alert anyone out
there of where we were. “Step careful, sweets.”
We made our way through the woods and I started to relax. Maybe Jason and Branson had been wrong about the hunt. Perhaps
it wasn’t a pack hunt and just the wolf that Tillie had told us about and a few others. If that was all, I hoped that this would all be
over before it began. Normally, I liked a good hunt but this wasn’t the same as what I wanted to do with Tillie, Jason, and Ryan.
This wasn’t how I wanted to hunt. This made me feel like prey and I was an alpha. I was anything but prey. My wolf hated this.
He wanted to
take Ryan’s place only he wouldn’t do what our mate was doing. No, he would have dragged us straight into the fight and that
was a bad thing
We had no idea how many of them were out there hunting Tillie. Or even just there for a hunt and fuck.
There would be none of that if Jason, Ryan, and I had anything to say about it. My mate wasn’t about to be fucked in public
unless it was where we could enjoy her. She would enjoy it too. I had already given her a taste of what it could be like. But what
they would do wouldn’t be something fun and they wouldn’t care about how she felt during or after.
A twig snapped behind us and I whipped around, pulling Tillie behind me as a sable colored wolf came into view.
