The covenant
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I got scared."
I see two male wolves eyeing me, their faces beet-red, and their fists clenching at their sides. They shift into wolves, growling at me with such hatred that I watch foam start to come out of their mouths.
"Waya! Atohi! Enough!" Yona transforms into a wolf, jumping in front of me.
"Why are you protecting her?" the wolf boy yells.
"Because she didn't mean to," Yona replies.
"So what, let's kill her," the other boy screams.
"You will have to kill me first," I watch as the hair on Yona's back stands up.
"And me, back off my girl," I hear Cedric's voice, and instantly, I feel safe. I know he will never let anyone harm me. I watch as the bear appears, walking towards us. They look so confident, strong, and mighty.
Yona was the first to shift into his human form, his eyes filled with madness.
"She's your girlfriend?" he asks Cedric, visibly annoyed.
Cedric, Colton, and Connor all laugh, smirks on their faces.
"Yes, she is. Is that a problem, Alpha Yona?"
"Saturn?" Yona looks at me, and my heart skips a beat.
I look down at the ground, unable to face him. I want to say no. I want to say I wanted him.
I nod. I tried to find the words to speak, but I couldn't. It was clear he wanted nothing to do with me. I felt like he ripped my heart out of my chest. It was her! Chhaya! He was loyal to her; it was clear as day. She was his sunshine, the girl he loved, not me.
I watched as he chewed on his lower lip. He looked at me for a brief moment.
Chhaya lets out a soft moan as she stirs, drawing his attention. I watch in silence, my heart tightening, as he leans down to place a gentle kiss on her forehead.
"Waya, Atohi, bring Chhaya back to base," he commands, his voice leaving no room for argument. They nod, instantly complying with his orders.
"Keep her away from my wolves," he hisses, the madness in his tone cutting through the air. His words feel like a personal attack. Confusion floods me. Why? Why is he acting this way when all I feel is love for him?
"She was already warned to stay away," Cedric yells.
"Good." The single word was said with such coldness. Yona's face was red, he was clearly mad.
I can feel Cedric's strong grip tighten around my arm, and I can't help but flinch at the forcefulness. "Let's go," he barks, his tone sharper than I've ever known it to be. The emotion in him is troubling. What's his problem? He's never treated me like this before.
Tears prick at my eyes as he drags me away, harshly.
"Hey, you don't have to treat her like that!" I hear Yona shout, his voice filled with rage.
"Mind your business," Cedric snaps back.
