Uncertain Desires Ch. 04

"ASSHOLE LET HER GO!" I roar to the man running up to him. I swing the pipe striking him in his ribs, causing him to fall to ground on his knees. Prying Bell out of his grasp, I turn her in the direction to the restaurant.

"Bell run!" I instruct.

Before Bell even had a chance to move, the man then brings two fingers to his mouth and makes a quick whistle. At that moment I hear an engine start. Van lights turn on, and four men jump out of the vehicle, all wearing black face masks.

They run past the man on the ground and head towards our direction. I push Bell behind me and I hand her the pipe. One man comes at me with full force and I use his momentum to hip toss him into the trash cans. Right before I can recover my balance, a man comes up behind me, ready to strike me in the head with a bat when...

"Elly look out!" Bell warns before she takes the pipe and hits the man hard on his back thigh, causing him to fall.

I use this moment to thrust my knee into the mans face, breaking his nose and causing him to hold his nose in pain. I try and focus on the others when all of a sudden I get tackled to the ground by one of the fatter men, getting the wind knocked out of me.

"Elly! Get off..." Bell gets cut short when one of the men lunges quickly at her, and holds a chloroform soaked cloth to her nose until she passes out in the mans arms. Who then drops her hard on the ground.

"Guess your MUTT boyfriends aren't coming to your rescue, you little bitch!" The man on top of me cruelly taunts.

"The fuck are you talking about boyfriends. Why don't you guys just get your repulsive hands off of us and leave, before I get up and kick all you pathetic asses! You lard- assed prick. " I reply sharply, then head butt him in the mouth, causing him to bite his tongue and drool blood.

"You little cunt! Andrew give me that cloth. After you and Jerry help get Freddy out of the garbage!" The guy orders, taking the drugged cloth and harshly putting it to my face.

As I try and get the cloth off, I over hear the guy who I kneed in the face, whose name I understand is Jerry, say something to the guy named Andrew.

"What do we do with these bitches?" Jerry asks to Andrew, as they walk towards Freddy in the trash cans .

"Boss wants them brought to headquarters. Says when those Cross Pack Alphas come to retrieve them, he has something special in store for those little dogs." Andrew replies out loud with a triumphant smile.

At that moment I start to feel the effects of the drug beginning to work and I begin to fade out. Right before I black-out, I couldn't help but hear a menacing growl.

Ben's POV

"Are you sure these gifts are enough?" I say questionably. While focusing on driving to the restaurant.

"Yes I am." Damien says as he looks at the two bundles of thirty white roses and two deluxe heart shaped boxes of gourmet Belgium chocolates.

"Your talking about girls who had a choice of any restaurant in town and chose a regular family steakhouse. I don't think they'll mind how many gifts we give them. Damien responds at the stupid question.

"You got a point there." I say agreeably.

We arrive at the restaurant and I get first to help Damien with the gifts. Once we both have our own gifts in hand, we begin to walk to the entrance.

"Damien wait." I say suddenly.

"What is it?" Damien states, as we both stop in our tracks.

"Let's just make sure we're on the same page. We are not going to rush things. We need to make sure the girls are very conformable with us before we tell them the truth about everything and the real reason of why we did what we did at the bar." I tell Damien sternly, not wanting to repeat the past incident again.

"I know brother. I just hope when Elizabeth realizes the truth about us being werewolves, that she won't reject me." Damien responds worryingly.

"I know what you mean. Lets just make this night as special for them as possible." I say to Damien, continuing to walk the entrance of the building.

We are just about to enter when suddenly Damien stops dead in his tracks, its at that moment that I can see why. I faintly smell the scent of both our mates and it reaches the doorway and heads off down the sidewalk.

"Why would they go down..." I begin but am soon cut short, when we hear a harsh yell in the direction where the girls scents were.

"You little cunt!"

"My mate! She's in danger!." Damien says quickly, he then drops the gifts and runs full force towards the sound.

"FUCK!" I distraughtly state before dropping my own gifts and join Damien hurriedly down the sidewalk.

We see van lights in the distance and as we get closer to them the scent of our mates become stronger, but their scent is mixed with something undeniable that causes the wolf in me to growl...fear.

Damien's POV

I make it to an alley first, and the scene that I see drives me close to madness.

There are five masked men, two of which are getting another out of fallen trash can's, one of the men appears to have a broken nose, another is holding his ribs with great force. However its the fat one that had my full attention on. He was the largest man here and he was on top an unconscious Elizabeth, I see in my peripheral vision Isabella, who is also laying on the ground unconscious.

At that moment Ben arrives by my side and he is equally enraged. I'm unable to hold back a menacing growl, my wolf immediately taking over, I then transform.

"Fuck their here!" I overhear the guy holding his ribs say.

"YES THE FUCK WE ARE!" Ben roars angrily at the men, he then grabs the man holding his ribs by the neck and looks at one of the two men holding the man in the trash cans.

"Now, If you don't want your little boyfriend here to get his neck broken I suggest you tell us your business here, and the reason these two girls here are passed out. Ben states. Showing his seriousness, he tightens his grip on the man's throat, causing him to squeal.

I however start to get into a pouncing stance, never taking the man on top of my mate out of my sight, all while listening for the mans response.

"Okay man be cool we'll talk!," The one of the two men exclaims. "We were assigned a task to capture these women and bring back to our boss, in order to lure you guys there."

"Wait! Your part of that Association that is going around killing our kind!" Ben angrily shouts.

"That's right you werewolf scum! And we're here to make sure you guys end up just like the rest of your kind that we've killed. Perfectly mounted on our bosses wall!" The man on top of my mate says as he slowly begins to stand.

"Oh! Is that right." Ben states in a calm tone.

I then hear Ben, through our werewolf bond, a telepathic command.

"DAMIEN! KILL THEM All!"

I immediately let my wolf take over. I launch at the fat lard that dare touch my mate, let alone talk about all those innocent people, as if they were mere trophy's of a hunt. Knocking him down on his back, I instinctively rip his sagging throat out. As he lays there holding his gushing throat I crush his skull with such a force, chunks of his skull splatter all across the ground. My eyes then focus on the three men near the fallen trash can's. I manage to get two of them on the ground. I use my razor sharp claws to slash their jugulars, crimson blood drips from my mouth and sprays the walls of the alley, the coppery smell of fresh blood pollutes the air...

Using his friends gruesome death as a distraction, Andrew uses this opportunity to sneak back to the van. He quickly drives off, leaving his one living companion in the grasp of one pissed off Ben.

I recollect myself mentally, pushing down my killer instincts enough to talk to Ben telepathically.

"What should we do with him?" I question to Ben, gesturing to the last guy trembling in Ben's hold.

"As much as I would love to snap his weak little neck, lets bring him to the grounds for interrogation. In the mean time I will have to be satisfied with this." Ben states before he tightens his grip even more around the guys neck and bashing his head off the wall enough to knock him out. Ben drops him to the ground with a thud.

I quickly use this time to rush to Elizabeth's side. She appears to have a few scrapes from the guy being on top of her, but is otherwise OK. My wolf and I whimper at the realization of getting her involved and harmed in something she had nothing to do with.

"Damien look here." Ben urges. Turning around I see Ben protectively and gently cradling Isabella in his arms. He ushers to a cloth on the ground.

I walk over to the cloth and sniff it. A familiar scent fills my nose, as I discover how the girls got unconscious.

"Chloroform." I state bluntly.

"Indeed it is. We need to bring our mates to our pack grounds. Now that the hunters know of them, we need to make sure their out of harms way." Ben says while nuzzling Isabella's neck soothingly.

"Go bring the car around, I transformed and destroyed my clothing. I'll stay here and watch over the girls and our little friend." I state.

I lay down beside Elizabeth, gently nudging her head until its laying on top of my torso, to make sure she's somewhat conformable. It also was an act of making sure she was protectively secured by my side.

"Alright. Just stay here and I'll be right back with the car." Ben states, as he slowly and reluctantly places Isabella gently next to Elizabeth and starts running towards the car, while mumbling something under his breath about him being the only guy allowed to touch Isabella once she was on pack grounds.

"So much for taking it slow, huh Ben." I mentally link over to Ben, with a chuckle.

I look down at my beloved kitten and start licking her face affectionately.

"Oh my love... please understand the truth."
