Page 24 of Silence Falls a New Alpha
Did Jace’s words really get to me this badly? I’ve felt this way before she turned eighteen. Before my father could respond he was knocked into by a running Alexander. Odd he should have chased those intruders off the territory. There was no way Alexander and his men were done. He shifted while he forced his way upstairs, the stairs looked so tiny under his wolf form for a brief moment.
"Dylan, it's Katie’s smell. Since she’s finally eighteen every male will be going crazy for her. Some can control the feeling more than others.”
My eyes widened as I realized that was why Alexander was in such a hurry. No. No one could have Katie but me. I wouldn’t allow another man to touch her, to ruin her. My father made his way to our old members to prepare them for the possibility of a retaliation war while I charged upstairs. Katie I’m coming! I yelled out telepathically to her, it was as if I begged her to wait for me. To keep Alexander away. It felt like it took forever to reach her room on the fifth floor. The hallways were a blur as tunnel vision took over. I couldn’t remember if I passed anyone else along my way or not. My pace quickened as I headed to Katie’s room. I had to reach her. God, please let me make it to her on time.
Finally, I reached the fifth floor. It felt like it took me ages to get here when in reality it didn’t take long at all. I couldn’t seem to shake the mental image of Katie with another man as I ran here. The door flew open easier than I thought it would. That’s when I saw him. Alexander was on top of her. His hand on her inner thigh while she laid there pressed against the wall. He was moments away from fucking her like I so desired. I was almost too late.
I snarled and pushed him off her as rage took control. Books flew off her bookshelf as Alexander crashed into it. He tried explaining himself and seemed horrified he was about to fuck her. I didn’t care and punched him in the face while Katie stood there watching us.
Alexander got up and looked at Katie as she had started to cry. When he stormed out, I grabbed Katie. I was furious and wanted to go after him, but Katie was crying her eyes out. It took everything in me not to kill Alexander for almost taking what is mine, who is mine. What pissed me off more was that she didn’t even try to stop him. Hell, what if she was fucking enjoying his hands on her? I tightened my grip on her which caused her to wince in my arms.
"I'm sorry-" She said to me as she pulled from my grasp and rushed to her closet. She grabbed a pair of clothes as if she no longer felt clean in the dress she had on. Like her clothes disgusted her and reminded her of what just happened.
"Please excuse me." She ran into the bathroom and locked the door behind her, my handprint still on her arm. Do I wait on her, or do I get after he sighed as I stood there my fist balled up? I looked at the mess I caused in her room. The books were all over the ground and on the broken bookshelf.
Oh, how she loved to read, and I broke her bookshelf. I’ll have to buy a new one to make it up to her. I bent down and started to pick up the books, thankfully none seemed damaged. I heard the door unlock and stood up before she caught me cleaning. She smelled and looked amazing. Her baggy crimson sweatpants and black shirt were adorably oversized on her. I couldn't help but smile as I walked toward her and effortlessly picked her up. She was as light as a feather and so warm against me, and I could hear her heart going crazy. This felt amazing, but I knew I had to go. I needed to handle what just happened with Alexander. I don’t care what he said, he knew what he was doing, and as a result, him and I had unfinished business.
I laid her down on her bed. It just seemed so soft and relaxing I figured it would help. She seemed upset and I was torn if it was because of what Alexander was going to do to her or at me because I stopped them.
"Dylan-" she stared at me with those watery eyes of hers. Her voice was soft, and it made me lose my train of thought when my name rolled off her tongue. I leaned down and kissed her forehead with a smile on my face. I couldn’t be mad at her no matter how hard I tried. She must have expected something else as she held her breath. No kiss from me until I finished what I started. It's time to break someone's face or even kill him.
I know for a fact he could have controlled himself. If I can control myself around her then so can Alexander. He decided not to due to his feelings for Katie. I reached her door and opened it slightly. I looked back for one last glance at Katie before I headed down to beat Alexander into a bloody pulp.
"Please don't go!" She cried out for me. I froze in place. She knew where I was headed, any person in their right mind would have known. Did she want me to stay because she wanted me or because she wanted to save Alexander? He wanted to claim he couldn’t control himself. I’ll show him what it felt like to not hold back. They would both know. Katie sooner than him. I closed and locked her door with a lustful smile on my face as I turned and went to her bedside.
