Chapter 5 Five

Chapter 5.

" Please, is there a way, I can send a letter across to a friend quite a long distance from here?" I asked and she nodded.

" It's easy, just use the crow" She answered and I muttered "Oh".

" Also, do you know a nearby inn, I can rent a room?" I asked and she nodded.

" Where?" I asked.

" My house" She replied, and I found my mouth agape in shock.

" What?". I asked in bewilderment scanning her expression while wondering why she would offer such.

' Was I wrong about her?' I wondered, still in shock. ' Was she probably like those girls?' I thought.

" I doubt it" Zack answered. " And don't you dare compare our mate to those sorts of girls ever again" He warned, but I just ignored him, my eyes still on her face.

" Why would you suggest such?" I asked and she blushed furiously, her whole face red.

" Don't you know it is wrong for a young maiden like yourself to suggest such to me?" I asked again, and she turned to look away in embarrassment which only annoyed me further.

" Are you going to answer my question?" I found myself growling, and she quickly turned to face me, with a timid expression which I for some unknown reason disgusted.

" Please do not take my words the wrong way?" She pleaded fearfully. " I did not mean it in whatever way you are probably thinking" She added and as I scanned her expression properly, I noticed beads of sweats starting to form on her forehead.

' She was terrified of me!' I thought and felt my heart sink to the bottom.

" You have successfully scared our mate" Zack growled, and I felt even more bad.

" I did not mean to" I told him, and he snorted before sinking to the back of my head. I turned to look at Emily who was now trembling, she looked so fragile, and I felt the utmost urge to protect her. To calm her fears and I did unconsciously.

She shook violently as I moved closer to her, and wrapped my arms around her shoulders.

' Probably from nervousness' I thought, and chuckled.

" I am sorry" I apologized, and she stood still instantly.

" I did not mean to scare you" I added. There was silence for a few seconds until I felt her relax comfortably in my arms. Her head was placed on my shoulders, so I had to move my hand to her back and started patting her gently.

" Zack!" I called out to my Lycan.

" Yes" He answered.

" Can she feel the mate pull?" I asked him totally confused to why she would be comfortable or should I say be so relaxed on a stranger's arms. A wolf which could probably hurt her and dump her body anywhere hidden in the bush before disappearing.

" You really are weird" My Lycan commented with a sigh and I smirked.

" Care to enlighten me on why you just called me a weirdo?" I asked him and he grunted.

" A normal creature or should I say Lycan, will be happy his mate, is getting comfortable and feeling relaxed with him" He replied. "Which points to the beginning of trust" He added and I scoffed.

" On the first day of meeting?" I asked.

" Well, it does happen" He replied. " And do not pretend, you do not enjoy the feel of her being in your arms" He said, but it seemed more like mocking to me.

' Well yes, I love the feel of her body in mine and obviously do not want her to get up' I thought and suddenly her pet cat, Skyler meowed. Both I and Emily were distracted from the moment and turn to look at the cat who threw us, or should I say Emily a look of grievance?

I guess its annoyed I and Emily completely forgot it's existence.

" What is it Skyler?" Emily asked.

" Someone is coming" She replied and Emily hastily got out of my arms. I felt empty surprisingly and hitched to drag her back into my arms, but that would seem weird.

" Coming from the weirdo" Zack mocked, but I decided to ignore him, for I was not in the mood to batter with him.

" Thank you for informing us Skylar" Emily appreciated and Skylar threw me a proud look.

' What the hell?' I thought trying to resist the urge to wring the neck of this silly cat. I thought it was terrified of me few hours ago.

' Looks like it has grown wings' I thought, throwing the cat a death glare, and it whimpered in fear exactly like it should before turning to look away from me.

I grinned victoriously.

" You can't even spare the poor cat" Zack commented with a scoff.

" How close are these people?" Emily asked, while packing up the items she used on me into her Duffel bag.

" About 30 meters away" She responded.

" Your ear are really sharp, aren't they?" I commented, now feeling suspicious of this cat.

' Why didn't I hear any sound?' I wondered and just then, I heard a twig snap and I raised up my head in alert.

" We need to leave now?" I told Emily, and she nodded before throwing me a glance filled with worry and I found myself wondering why.

" Can you get up and walk?" She asked, and I felt her words was on insult on my part.

" Chill bro, the girl is obviously worried about you" Zack said.

" Well, I don't need it" I told him and he smirked.

" Are you sure?" He asked and I kept quiet. I ignored Emily's question and got up despite the pain, and was able to find my balance on my feet. Emily came to my side and wrapped my arm around her shoulders trying to help me.

I wanted to reject it but do not have the luxury of time to as the footsteps were getting nearer. Emily helped me out of the forest with her cat trailing behind us.

Few minutes later, we arrived at a big mansion. Not as big as mine though. She took me inside and I was wowed by their taste of decorations. Just then, Edward Shan came down the stairs and I widened my eyes to see him.

' What the hell was he doing here?' I wondered.

" Father" Emily called out to him joyfully, and he turned to look at us, his eyes popping out of its sockets at sighting me.

" What the hell are you doing with the Lycan king Emily?" He yelled.

"Lycan what?" Emily asked in disbelief.
