The Girl He Marked

Chapter 32

Book 1 Chapter 32

‘You...you turned into a wolf; I didn‘t imagine that right?‘ | ask, my breathing becoming shallow and

rapid as I remember the scene from earlier. Something that will probably haunt me for the rest of my

life.

“You didn‘t imagine it, it happened, he watches me cautiously, as though I might scream again at any

moment. To be honest, I feel too lightheaded to scream. I lean back against the wall for support,

suddenly feeling very claustrophobic and panicky.

“How can this be happening? Werewolves don‘t exist, I ask, mostly to myself, and rub my eyes.

I know it‘s a lot to take in, I‘m sorry you found out this way, his low voice is soothing as he places his

hand on my shoulder. I let it stay there for a second, enjoying his warmth, before I shrug it off and take

a step away from him. He looks dejectedly at me and a tiny, tiny part of me feels bad.

‘You look very pale, sit down for a bit, he gestures towards the bed, I don‘t fight him as he places his

large hand on my lower back and guides me over. I sit down, but keep my eyes on him the whole time,

struggling to keep my gaze on his face, not his package. As if sensing my unease, he steps a few meters away and goes over to a drawer, he takes out a pair of boxers and I‘m very relieved when he

puts them on, covering himself, thank the Lord.

‘Perhaps I‘m pale because I‘ve just been kidnapped and I‘m terrified I might be killed, I snap angrily,

and he has the nerve to look guilty. I have to force my eyes not to drop to his beautifully sculpted abs

that are on display

I‘m not going to hurt you, I promise, quite the opposite actually, he comments and smirks at me, I nar

row my eyes at his implication,

I wrap my arms around myself and the fear of being kidnapped is pushed to the side by the horrible re

alization I‘m still just in my underwear. I quickly cover myself with my arms and look up at my kidnapper

who is watching me with an amused expression.

I open my mouth to ask for some clothes, or for him to at least look away, but the door flies open, and a

few weird things happen in quick succession.

Firstly, a man storms into the room, covered in dirt and scrapes and growls loudly at my kidnapper.

Then, in some strange turn of events, my kidnapper performs what can only be described as an

impression of a flying squirrel, as he spreads like a starfish and throws himself on top of me, kind of like

a base jumper. In turn, I squeal and fall back against the bed, completely covered by the hard, warm

body of my kidnapper as he uses himself as a human shield.

‘Get out, she‘s naked, he growls loudly, his head turned to one side so he can face the angry intruder.

The intruder ignores my kidnapper‘s warnings, grabs him by the shoulders and yanks him off me. I

jump up and wrap the duvet around me, needing to cover myself and it doubles as some form of

protection. I watch in shock and horror as the two of them fight on the carpet. They roll around,

throwing punches and grunting at each other. It really is the strangest sight. It becomes stranger when

my eyes land on my back pack by the door, the intruder must have brought it in with him.

‘What the fuck is going on?‘ A girl‘s voice breaks through the violence and my heart lifts in hope. The

woman is wearing a dressing gown and has terrible bed–hair, but seems perfectly normal and not

mental,

she might help me!

Oh my God, please help me, he kidnapped me!‘ I shout, I jump off the bed and run towards her,

still wrapped in a giant grey duvet. She stares at me with wide eyes and then turns to my kidnapper, venom ap pearing on her features.

“You did what?!‘ She asks, she looks horrified, and I feel like crying with joy that she is not a part of this

Lv.1

Please, get me out of here, I need to go back to my friend, we‘re camping in the woods, I explain,

reaching for her hand to try and express my desperation. She looks at me with pity, her expression

turns angry as she once again turns to my kidnapper.

‘Eli! What the fuck were thinking? Do you have any idea how mad mum is going to be! She shouts, I

look over to my kidnapper, apparently he‘s called Eli, I‘m not surprised to find him still on the floor with

the intruder, both of them in just their boxers.

This is one fucked up family.

‘Please, help me out of here,‘ I repeat, but she doesn‘t reply, and Eli jumps up.

‘You‘re not going anywhere, he says, but before he can finish, the intruder has him shoved against a

wall.

‘Are you crazy? Did you even think about the consequences? She‘s a human for fuck‘s sake!‘ The guy

shouts, but he only has Eli pinned for a few seconds before he overpowers him and switches their posi

tions, shoving the other guy against the wall. His words bring back the horrible truth that the people in

this room with me might not be human, the thought makes me lightheaded.

‘She‘s mine, I couldn‘t help it, he growls, I‘m about to announce that I am in fact not his, but his teeth

elongate, and his eyes turn dark obsidian and I‘m stunned into silence.

‘Guys seriously, fighting isn‘t going to solve anything, besides, it‘s three in the morning, I need my

sleep, the woman complains and rubs her eyes. As soon as she mentions the time, I suddenly feel

extreme ly tired, and not at all up for fighting anymore.

Tyler, just leave it, we‘ll talk about it tomorrow, go to bed, the woman orders, Tyler gives Eli one final

glare and then storms out of the room.
