Chapter 4


    Now everything became quiet and all the guys stare at Ben, wondering what he will do. Ben growls


    loudly and shifts into his lycan and takes off to the forest.


    “Well he will have a hard time now, deciding” Andrei say


    “Yeah but please tell the brats to pis s off so we can spend some time with Nora instead. I can’t stand


    the sight of these idi ots any longer.” Linus says and points at Emily and the triplets.


    Daniel growls even higher and all four girls get the hint as they run to the car and drive off. Daniel


    carries me inside still in his lycan form which is huge. But my fear dies out as he seems just as


    comfortable in this form as well. He walks past things without destroying them.


    Daniel puts me down gently on the lounge before he wanders off and Linuses and sits down next


    to me.


    “He will get dressed and then he wille back” he says and I nod.


    “Where are the others?” I ask him.


    “Well some are chasing Ben and the others are trying to find our lost friends. They were supposed to


    meet them this morning but they wanted to see that you were okay first.” Linus exins and I just look


    at him in shock.


    “Oh, okay. Can I ask why Ben reacted so strongly against Emily and the matebond? I thought it was


    really rare for you guys to find your mates?” I asked him as I was so confused by Ben’s behavior.


    “Ben’s little sister was also bullied and she died when she was gangraped by a pack of rogues. She


    was tricked by a couple of females in our pack” Daniel exins while he walks inside.


    I stare at him in horror. What is wrong with people?


    “You remind Ben of his little sister but not because of your appearance, you don’t look alike but your


    personalities are really simr and she was also a bit weird” Linus says and Daniel chuckles.


    Daniel takes the seat on my other side and puts his arms on my/shoulders. I take a deep breath and


    smell his scent and let itfort me.


    “Andrei and Ben told me that you have been thinking of bringing me to the lycan kingdom and taking


    me as your chosen mate” I say and look at Daniel.


    “Did they say that? Tra itors.” Daniel muttered and blushed slightly.


    Linus chuckled.


    “It isn’t so bad actually and you won’t di e because the bond will be artificial”


    “Artificial?” I ask and look at Linus in confusion.


    “Yeah, with a witches help” Linus winks at me and earns a


    growl from Daniel.


    Well it is tempting but I don’t know if I want to live another life with Emily again, sigh.

    “Let’s not talk about this right now. Let’s take a swim instead” Daniel say and pulls me up in his arms


    “But I didn’t bring a swimsuit” I protested and tried to get down and Daniel just smiled at me.


    Linusughed and followed us outside and I really tried my hardest to get down from Daniel’s arms


    when I suddenly was airborne and then I hit the water. I will ki ll him.


    I force my body to rx and I sink to the bottom of the pool andy still. I could hear Daniel and Linus


    shouting my name but I didn’t move at all, I even closed my eyes and relied on my senses and my wolf.


    Both guys dived into the pool but Linus reached me first as he grabbed my head and forced it up,


    probably to look in my eyes. Daniel grabbed my arm and turned me over and I let him when I felt Linus


    touch my lips with his thumb | opened my eyes.


    Linus screamed underwater although only bubbles came out but he didn’t move away fast enough as I


    headbutted him hard enough to draw blood. I started to spin my body around and flung Daniel into


    Linus’ body and they crashed into the wall. They tried to untangle themselves from each other and I


    swam up to the surface in the meantime.


    As I broke the water surface and took a deep breath I was lifted by a pair of strong hands, Ben.


    “Impressive water dance. Are you perhaps a mermaid?” Ben chuckled.


    “Yeah, almost, I have always been really good at holding my breath” I some water


    say and shake my head and ssh


    onto Ben that is blushing real hard.


    “Your tank top made your skin visible” Linus said as he climbed out of the pool. I looked down on


    myself and noticed he was indeed right.


    “I will go get you a shirt,” Daniel said while Ben turned around.


    “He will probably get one of his own to drench you in his scent. By the way, Nora, what is that scar on


    your back?” Linus said and I frowned but touched my shoulder.


    ‘Oh, that. Well I told you guys that I am one of the top warriors in this pack and one day on training I


    encountered rogues and a lot of battle happened. Then someone shed a silver knife down my back


    and I was put in aa for roughly a week to be able to heal myself” I exin and look away just as


    Danieles back with a ck shirt in his hand.


    Linus was right, the shirt had Daniel’s smell on it and I chuckled at the thought. All three guys had


    turned away from me now so I could change my tank top. Cute.


    “Ben? If you don’t mind that I ask but what are you going to do now? With Emily I mean.” I ask him


    when I have finished changing and Ben looks back at me.


    “I don’t know. We don’t get a second chance mate like regr werewolves do but neither me nor my


    lycan likes her. She is mean and superficial.” Ben growled and looked


    away with a sad expression.


    “You know, Emily hasn’t always been this mean. When we were younger, we were best friends but I


    think that the pressure from our school friends and her dad turned her into a mean bi tch.” I exin and


    now all three guys stare at


    1.


    “Don’t defend her, Nora. she isn’t worth it, our lycans can sense when someone is rotten and Emily is


    rotten to the core. She will never change.” Daniel growls low and Linus nods his head.


    “So how about we go inside instead and y something? Forget about the boring stuff for a while. I


    know they have some cool stuff inside that I want to try atleast once.” I say and all three guys agree


    with me. I push away the thoughts that invade my mind. If their lycans can sense that about Emily, then


    what do they sense about me? Sigh.


    The rest of the day was absolutely one of my best. We yed a lot of games, the xbox is my favorite so


    far although I always lost but it was so much fun to y with others. Then weughed a lot so my


    stomach started to hurt but we cried even worse when Linus brought food that he cooked.


    The other guys came and joined us two and I finally got to meet two of their lost friends, Fred and Nick.


    Theyined about the food so offered and made enough sandwiches to feed half of the pack. I


    was highly praised by the guys and Daniel was busy growling at all the guys when they touched me.


    We allughed at him and he blushed as he couldn’t control his lycans possessiveness.


    “Hey Nora. I know this isn’t my ce but the time has really flown away and shouldn’t you do some


    girly stuff before the ball?” Grey asked me and I gasped in horror. I had put up a me ntal block on the


    mindlink, not wanting anyone to disturb my fun time.


    And as I drop the block, I also drop to the floor clutching my head as my mom’s loud voice is ringing


    through it.


    *NORA! Where in the world are you? Youngdye home this instant or you will regret it*


    I whimpered at her voice and answered. *Yes, mom


    Once the ringing stopped I opened my eyes and looked up into Daniel’s gray eyes. He had catched me


    before I crashed onto the floor. I noticed that all of the guys looked concerned for me.


    “I’m okay but I should get home or my mom will ki ll me. I will see you guys tonight? At the packhouse?”


    I say and give them a small smile.


    “Yeah we will see youter. Can we meet by the forestline?” Linus asks and all guys rx as I smile


    and nod.


    I practically ran home and to say that my mom was pi ssed off was an understatement.


    “You go take a shower and shave, we don’t have much time to get you ready for tonight. Only 45


    minutes. Hurry!” my mom said and looked on the verge of a breakdown.


    It was my absolutely fastest shower and shaving in my entire life. My mom was satisfied and started


    with my hair


    by curling it. Then she tried to do the makeup and after a bit of arguing that I won, she didn’t put so


    much on my face. Some eyeshadow and lipgloss.


    Then she showed me the dress, it was stunning. A deep emerald color, one shoulder and the skirt


    red a bit but stopped around my knees. Mom put my hair onto the shoulder that was bare and


    covered my scar elegantly and also made sure my scent could be smelled by ease.


    My mom took a pair of ts out that were decorated by green rhinestones.


    “Come, let’s show your dad” mom said and I nodded my head with a bright smile. Even I think that I am


    beautiful.


    “You are so beautiful, my baby girl. But you really need to go now or you will bete” dad said and


    hugged me.


    As I walked down the stairs and out of the packhouse I was ambushed by Emily and the triplets. They


    kicked me behind the knees and I fell down in the dirt. When I tried to get up Emily growled and took


    out a knife. The triplets held me down while Emily cut my dress into nothing, she even cut my skin so I


    bled all over it.


    I trashed against them but I was tired and slow in my movements, the knife, it must be silver ted.


    “This is your own fault. You little slut. That lycan is my mate and you will not be in my way, do you


    understand” Emily growled and stomped down her shoe in my face before kicking me in my stomach.


    Emily and the triplets walked awayughing, they left me there bleeding and crying. My dress was


    destroyed. I cried more as I once again showed them that they could trample all over me and I couldn’t


    even defend myself. Weak and useless.


    A low growl came from the forestline. I had forgotten about the guys, they couldn’t see me like this but


    as I tried to move Daniel was crouching beside me. He wiped away my tears.


    “I have decided now. I am going to reject her.” Ben growled and I didn’t say anything. I noticed all the


    other guysing out too. They either gasped or growled when they


    Sw me.


    Linus came over and put his jacket on me to cover me and I nodded weakly at him.


    “Take her back to the mansion and heal her” Ben said and I


    felt Daniel as he lifted me up in his arms.


    I put my face in his neck and cried in silence.


    “Everything will be okay Nora. Let us deal with this.” Linus said and Daniel started running.


    As we came up to the mansion my wolf woke up and sniffed around. Something smelled nice but I


    couldn’t put my finger on it.


    A new face greeted us and Daniel told me it was Tristan. and I nodded and mumbled a hello. Tristan


    took the jacket away from me and his eyes flickered ck as his lycan


    looked out.


    “I will fetch the balm” Tristan said while Daniel put me


    slowly and gently down onto the lounge. I took off my torn dress and looked down on my wounds just


    as Daniel


    growled low at them.


    Tristan came back with the balm and gasped when he saw me, both him and Daniel helped rub on the


    balm and made the wounds close themselves.


    “Well you can’t wear this dress anymore, pity because it was very pretty. But you know I actually have a


    dress with me and I think it would fit you perfectly, miss Nora.” Tristan said and I turned to look at him


    and shook my head slowly


    at him.


    “Don’t bother, I am not going there anymore.” I say and Tristan looked at Daniel.


    “Yes you are. Because I want to have your first dance you know.” Daniel says and lifts my chin so I look


    directly in his


    eyes.


    “You should go, miss Nora. To show them that you are not


    are.” easily broken down. Show them how strong you


    Tristan encouraged me.


    “Thank you. Yes I should go but I don’t have another dress and my hair and my makeup is destroyed


    so it’s not any use for me to go there” I say and stare at my hands.


    Tristan takes one of my hands and kisses it slowly, earning a growl from Daniel.


    “I have everything you need soe with me and I will make you shine like the star that you are, miss


    Nora”


    I giggle at him, he really is nice. I follow him to his room where he shows me the dress and helps me


    with my make up and my hair and then helps me with thecing on the dress. When we are finally done


    Tristan helps me down the stairs where we meet Daniel and he smiles.


    When we made our entrance at the ball everyone went quiet and the whispers were louder than I


    thought.


    “Who is that?”


    “Are they lycans?”


    “Are


    “Isn’t that Nora?”


    “Is she mated to both of them?


    “Lucky her”


    And so on.


    “Nora, may I have your first dance now?” Daniel asks and I ept.


    We take ce on the dancefloor and we start to dance. It’s a very calm and slow dance and I can hide


    from everyone that stares at me. Daniel chuckles at me and I turn my face -up to him and he bends his


    head down to me and ces a


    soft and gentle kiss on my lips.


    A roar is heard and Daniel is ripped away from me by a man that smells divine. The strange man


    growls one word that


    makes me freeze along with everyone else here.


    “Mine!”
