The Couple

Chapter 22: Monster lives inside of me

Christian

I am learning to manage things. After 3 days and so much planning, finally she forgave me.

After failing with my two previous plans, I was sure of my new plan. If Moon Goddess chooses her for

me, she can’t stay away from me for long.

I asked, well more like commanded Tyler to send her in for the meeting in his place. I reached earlier

and changed the table to a booth and bribed the host to not let her change the table. And before

leaving the office I instructed Tyler to not reach through mindlink and contact using phone like a human

when I am with my human mate.

Ethan called me urgently, and I know with the danger on the border, I can’t ignore his call. Greg wants

to meet me suddenly. He was out to trace the rogue for three days and returned today, I hope he got

something.

I just hope he returns with the rogue or atleast some information about him. As per the description of

previously captured rogue, my rogue and Greg’s rogue from New York aren't the same. But we can’t

take the risk as they both can be related. Sometimes, even rogues stay in packs without calling it a

pack.

I reached my pack office and found Ethan and Greg sitting on their seats in front of my desk and stood

up as they sensed me. They bowed and I nodded them back.

“So, what is the update?”

“I couldn’t find him, Maybe he left the surroundings too. No one saw him before and knew anything

about him. He arrived on Saturday and was gone for the whole day and just returned for the night.

Same on Sunday but when he returned after midnight that day, he left.”

“Any information from the inn he stayed in?”

“All fake. I suspected, Bryan confirmed this evening.”

“Any other link to get him.”

“None.” I took a deep breath and stood to leave before Greg spoke again.

“Alpha, but I saw something else when I was returning back.”

“What was it?”, I turned to face him.

“My mate’s brother was with Celia coming out from a restaurant holding hands.”

“Did you say anything about it to Little?”, I took my steps forward to him. My wolf is angry how can a

gamma question him. He doesn’t like him being questioned.

“No alpha.”, my wolf made Greg bow to him.

“Good and its none of your business.”

“Its not safe to keep that girl close, she can be a danger to our pack.”

“Are you telling your Alpha what to do?”, I am hovering over him and my wolf wants to take over and

ask him personally.

“No, I am sorry”, and as I was about to turn and leave.

“But Alpha, I don’t think Jeenee will like her brother and her human friend hanging out behind her

back.”, damn his fearlessness which I loved in him when I first met him made me choose him as my

third in command.

“And you’re going to help me to hide from her, won’t you?”

“Yes Alpha.”, he might be fearless to me but his wolf can’t be, in the end he will always obey his alpha

and be loyal to me.

“Is there anything I should know, Alpha being your third in command?”

“Just know, I am the Alpha and always stay on alert.” and I left without turning back. I could feel his

curiosity and I am not in the mood to feed it.

I told Ethan to not fill him in as it will be his punishment to question his Alpha and tell him what to do.

He might be my third in command but he can’t overpower me.

I went home and to my cold bed. I wish I could have my Heaven here with me. Now, I know why other

wolves want to have their mates as soon as they turn eighteen. Maybe so then, they don’t have to

return to a cold bed and they have one who is waiting for them.

I took off my clothes and went to my bed grabbing Celia’s shirt which Mary got for me. It smells vanilla

mixed with roses like her. It helps me in sleeping. I wonder if she is also thinking of me as she goes to

her bed.

I fall asleep and dream of her sitting in my garden talking and laughing with Mumma, Little, Mary, Aunts

Selena and Karen. When I came from behind and got her in bridal style to take her to our room.

I wake up around 5 in the morning and start my day with running in the woods and doing some work

out before I get ready and start my day.

I need to start preparing for the war, I don’t want it to happen but if I trust the prophecy it will happen

and I will need more soldiers and more experienced.

I need to protect my pack and their Luna but can’t tell them about the upcoming danger. I don’t know

how everyone will react, many will oppose Celia like Karen did but can I blame them? No.

I called my heaven to know if she is upset about last night and I am happy this time she trusted me and

wants to give me a chance. I won’t let you down my love and I will protect you.

I want to meet with Ethan, Dadda and uncle tonight, so I can’t see her. I want to discuss the rogue and

our preparation for the war. I want to start early training of pups and advance training of each and every

soldier. I will train with the best ones every Sunday morning.

And tomorrow she will go to some club with her colleagues and Jeanne. I am happy she is taking

Jeanne with her but I don’t want any men to try on her or else he will be dead. She didn’t invite me but I

want to go and have some time with her but I also know she needs some time alone as well. So, I let

her go and enjoy herself as I don’t want to suffocate her with my love.

For Saturday, I thought about focusing on my business, Dante Construction Company and the source

of income of my pack. Many members of the pack work here but many work at others places in town

too.

Every pack member gives a small amount of their income to the pack so other things of the pack like

training or meetings can be done and help others in the pack. But most of the pack matters are taken

care of by this company.

I was working at my office when Mary mindlinked me and called me home immediately.

Why is everyone in urgency now?

We need to go to a pub. The colleagues with whom Heaven went to the club included Harris and it was Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

his plan. After Little, he is planning to harass my Heaven. I will kill him this time.

Since Celia doesn’t want to upset her boss she went. No worries, let him make a move to anyone of

those two ladies and he will regret his birth on Earth.

He is the same guy who harassed my Little back in school and wanted her to be his girlfriend. I beat

the shit out of him at that time. The only mistake I made was leaving him alive. I made his life a living

hell back then and after school, he went to some architect school and started the same company as

mine to compete with me.

Tonight, I will remind him how I beat the shit of him years back and kill him this time.

We reached the pub. The music was blazing and people were grooving over the beats on the dance

floor. As I entered I met the sweetest and inviting smell of my mate among the smell of sweat, lust and

excitement.

I traced the whole pub and found my sister and my mate dancing and enjoying themselves over the

dance floor. Mary asked me and Ethan to stay quiet and keep our eyes on them from far.

We went to the bar and ordered our drinks. As I was admiring my mate and her grooves, I spotted that

bastard behind them.

He was trying to get close to them and join them in dancing but my girls are too smart for him to

handle. They don’t let him get even near them let alone dance with them. Seeing his attempts, we three

laughed.

Seeing all those people dancing and enjoying, Mary suddenly wants to enjoy herself too. No one can

understand these women. Just before in the car she was instructing me and Ethan to not lose our

concentration and keep our eyes on the girls.

No wonder she is pregnant and her hormones are the worst. Ethan told me how she is always moody

now, she is angry at one moment for not giving her enough time and is crying at another for being

angry at him. I want to experience this phase too, I also want these frequent mood swings of my

Heaven.

Just the thought of having kids with her excites me and my dick.

I divert my mind and try to calm myself. I keep my eyes over my Heaven and my Little. Right now, I

need to protect them from this womaniser.

It doesn’t look like they will need me and it makes me proud of my mate and my Luna. She proves that

she is the right choice of Moon Goddess.

I was looking at her when my Heaven turned and looked down in my direction. She smirked, I wish I

could mindlink with her, so I can tell her what she is doing to me and what I want to do to her.

She is dancing seductively as she maintains eye contact with me. She knows what she is doing to me

right now and I can’t join her on the dance floor. I can just stand here and see her torturing me.

In her black dress that just rested above her knees with a little bit of cleavage visible and a backless

dress, she looked hot, tempting and every time she twirled around, the hem of the dress got up a little

bit and showed her thighs which sent my dick jumping.

She was torturing me and my dick as I saw that son of a bitch taking his chance again. He was

standing in between Celia and Jeanne. That rascal was trying to get advantage of both. My wolf is

angry and wants blood.

I rushed towards them and punched him hard in the face. Ethan, Mary and Greg ran to us.

“What the hell?”

“How dare you get near my Ce….?”, I grabbed his collar and punched his face again. This time he fell

on the ground.

Celia was trying to stop but my wolf wanted Harris Fieldson’s blood. He doesn’t want to stop. I sat over

him and threw uncountable punches until he fell unconscious. I was on my verge to bring my fangs and

claws out when Ethan grabbed my shoulders to shake and bring me out of the trance.

I realised Celia, my Heaven was watching me beating the shit out of him with shocked and angry,

confused, fear. Seeing her like this sent a shiver down my spine.

I was about to turn into the monster I am in front of her. Shit.

Heaven ran out of the pub and ran without the knowledge where she was going. I followed her, I

wanted to calm her, hold her and say sorry for what she witnessed just now. She shouldn’t have seen

it.

I was calling her name again and again but she didn’t stop.

“What the fuck you think you were doing? You almost killed him. If it wasn’t Ethan, you wouldn’t have

stopped.”, she shouted as she turned.

“I am sorry, you weren’t supposed to see that.”

“If I wouldn’t have been there, would you have killed him?”

“Heaven, listen to me that bastard was harassing you. He has harassed Little before.”

“You could have killed him.”, I got close to her and held her arms.

“I would have and I will if he tried something again with you or my Little”, something shifted in her and

she fell in my arms. She was sobbing in my arms, throwing her hands on my chest and pulling at the

same time.

She was scared to see me like this. I am afraid what will happen when she will get to know I am a

werewolf and a monster lives inside of me. Will she like to turn? Will she even accept me?

She fell silent and her tears dried over her cheeks, she was hiding her face with my body as she stayed

in my arms outside the club. Ethan and Mary walked out to us.

“Sorted out everything, no one will say anything and I will make sure Harris will not file any complaint”,

Ethan knows how to handle these fights in town.

“Where is Little?”

“As soon as the fight broke out Greg took her. She is safe with him. She didn’t see you both coming

out. Don’t worry.” Well, it wasn’t my first concern but knowing it sent a relief to me. I just wanted her

safe and sound.

“Take her home Christian, she needs to rest. I will handle grandma and mom, you stay the night with

her.”, Mary assured me.

I took her off the ground and she still kept her head hidden in the crook of my neck as if it was her who

did wrong. She is still a baby, my baby.

I sat her on the passenger seat of my car and took her to her apartment. I wanted her to be away from

that bastard but taking her to any other place will not settle good with her. I won’t be able to reply to her

if I took her to any empty cabin in the woods.

I took out her keys from her purse and laid her down on the bed. I took off her shoes and her dress, got

her to wear my tshirt and covered her with a quilt. I took off my pants and went to bed beside her.

Brought her to my chest and she fell asleep immediately. Seeing her sleeping in my arms, I let out a

sigh I didn’t know I was holding.

Next morning, I went to training with the fighters while she was still sleeping like a baby with Bryan

guarding her in the apartment and returned before she woke up without me by her side.
