Chapter 6. Could you put some clothes on?
Analyn POV
I flung myself into a corner as a chair flew at me. Luckily, I was able to dodge it.
I saw a bulky man standing in the middle of the club, fuming
"Let's not fight, Alpha Dominique. We both know this is the neutral zone since humans own this club. We can all be here, so why don't we try and have fun?” Theodore was saying. He hadn't transformed into his wolf yet. I wondered why. I bet this Dominique person would be a lot more intimidated then.
Dominique growled. “I was having fun until your pack member dared to hit on my mate. Why don't you hand him over to us, Beta, so we can punish him our way?"
Oh snap, hitting on an Alpha's mate? Who was the idiot who did that?
"I didn't do it on purpose. I had no idea she was your mate!" the idiot spoke.
Okay, I don't need to stick around and watch someone get torn apart, I though and got up slowly.
I couldn't take my eyes off Dominique as he transformed into his wolf form. I've never seen it in real life, and it was a lot more disturbing than I thought.
He was a big grey wolf. His steel grey claws extended from his large paw, and his sharp white teeth shone under the led lights. His ears were pointed straight forward, and his neck hair was raised. Three other wolves stood behind him, all grey. And they were inching toward Theodore and his buddies.
Alpha Dominique suddenly hunched over and lunged at the poor guy who dared to flirt with his woman, and pretty soon, they were both rolling on the floor. It didn't take long for Theodore and others to transform and jump right into that pile of mess.
I really needed to get out of here, I thought and started to panic as I watched the wolves jumping on each other, snapping teeth, throwing each other against the wall. Most people at the club screamed their way out, so I needed to do the same. I looked around to see if I could spot Shirley or Tessa, but they were nowhere to be found. Maybe they evacuated safely when I wasn't looking.
I saw an opening to run for the exit among the chaos and decided to go for it.
Then the worst thing that could possibly happen happened. I tripped and fell right in the middle of the fight.
I ducked and tried to blend in with the floor as I watched the wolves clawing at each other. One of them almost hit me.
Fear overwhelmed me. If one of those claws tear through my skin, I was done for.
"Get out of the way! Crawl!" someone screamed. I didn't know who he was, but it didn't matter. I tried to crawl as he instructed, but I couldn't move a muscle. I lay there helplessly. What was wrong with me? It was as if I was frozen in fear. I felt tears running down my cheeks.
"Look what a cat dragged in here.”
My heart nearly jumped out of my chest as I heard a hoarse voice speaking in my ear. I managed to turn my head. I didn't have the chance to move away as a strange man jumped in front of me and loomed over my face. I didn't know which pack he belonged to.
He leaned closer and dragged his nose over my skin in a long sniff. "Mmm...a human girl. No wonder you smelled so delicious from a distance. Guess you hadn't had the chance to escape. Don't worry. I'll protect you," he cooed.
I looked behind him. The others were still fighting, not paying attention to us. I had a bad feeling about this man. I knew I couldn't trust him. "No thanks. Just let me leave the club. My friends are out there."
"Hmm...no. I think I want you for myself," he hissed near my ears. "I think you'd make a great slave.” Oh, hell no.
"Get off of me!" I screamed and pushed the perverted wolf. He must not have stood his ground too firmly because I was able to move him out of the way and drag myself forward. I didn't get too far as I felt him grab my leg and drag me back to him.
This was the worse bachelorette party ever!
My legs were suddenly free. And before I could gather my thoughts, I saw the perverted man flying across the room. His bloodcurdling scream echoed through the walls, and I closed my eyes. The alcohol was starting to wear off, and I felt the fear inside me was getting stronger.
Like I said, worst bachelorette party ever.
But I suddenly felt a pair of arms snaking around my waist and lifting me off the ground. Oh great..who was trying to kidnap me this time? With my eyes still shut, I started sobbing harder. "Keep your eyes closed and hold me tight,” a deep, husky voice spoke. He was carrying me somewhere with his arms wrapped around me tightly. His embrace was warm, I felt safe. I nodded and buried my face in his shoulder.
I opened my eyes as soon as he sat me down on a table and looked at his face.
Ambrose looked at me with an expression that looked like a mixture of concern and annoyance. I guess he thought I was a real pest for being in this situation. I expected him to yell at me and call me a weak human, but he said nothing. Instead, he reached out and held my chin up.
"Are you hurt?" he asked.
"No," I said quietly.
He brushed some of the hair off my face. "Why didn't you leave the club like the rest when the fight started? Are you an idiot?" he barked.
"I'm sorry," I whispered. I was too afraid and tired to argue with him. I just wanted to go home.
His eyes softened. "Sit tight while I go end this stupid fight. I'll take you home after," he said.
I didn't say anything but nodded to let him know I heard him.
I stared at him as he transformed right before my eyes, mesmerized. His fur was pitch black and shiny. And he was massive.
He swatted some of the rival wolves like flies then hunched over in front of Alpha Dominique. Alpha Dominique snapped his teeth. Saliva dripped down his teeth. Ambrose didn't even flinch. He closed in on him like a hunter to his prey.
Ambrose wasn't an alpha yet, but his movements showed he was born for that role. I felt the heat radiating between my legs.
Wait, what's happening? Am I getting turned on by my future husband? Unacceptable.
Dominique attacked first, and I expected some kind of epic battle, but it was over in a matter of seconds as Ambrose grabbed Dominique by his throat and threw him across the wall. Then, he transformed back to his human form and stood there completely naked. I guess his clothes aren't wolf transformation proof.
Dominique didn't move, and his wolf pals backed away in fear. "This fight is over. Take your alpha and get the fuck out of the club. Don't forget to pay the damages to the owner,” Ambrose barked.
I watched in shock as they dragged Dominique away as he was still unconscious. Just how strong is Ambrose?
Ambrose walked back to me. "You ready?"
"Um...yeah, but could you put some clothes on first?" I said while struggling to keep my eyes away from his thing.
"I don't carry around extra clothes in case a fight breaks out,” Ambrose rolled his eyes.
"Well, you really should though. And can you turn back to your nice, fluffy wolf version? I don't think it's decent for a young lady such as myself to walk around with a naked muscular man. What would the neighbors think!" I gasped.
Ambrose let out an exaggerated sigh. "I have extra clothes in my car. I'll pull over by the entrance so just wait for me." With that, he strode outside. I've never seen someone look so naked and so confident at the same time. I looked at my phone, and there were twenty missed calls from Tessa and Shirley, but I decided to ignore them for now. They left me, so I was still angry at them.
He drove me home in silence. My heart was beating fast. I wasn't scared anymore but being near him had this weird effect on me. I couldn't explain it.
"Tha...thank you for saving me back there," I said as he walked me to my door.
"You are to be my Luna soon, so I better not see you be so reckless again,” he said grimly.
No promises there.
"Okay, well...goodnight!" I said and proceeded to go inside, but he grabbed my wrist. "What?" I asked.
"Just one more thing,” he said and leaned so close that I thought he was about to kiss me, but he stopped right near my ear. "I better not catch you flirt with another man again,” he said in a hoarse whisper.
