Chapter 5

I curled up in a ball in my bed and squeezed my eyes shut. "Night mum." I whispered and I felt the bed dip behind me. Zayne wrapped his arms aroune and pulled me back to him so my back was pushed against his chest. He nuzzled his face in my hair and he kissed my shoulder. "Let me mark you." He whispered, sending chills down my spine. I froze. "Please." He begged, getting desperate. I sighed and closed my eyes. "Okay." I said, my voice as low as a whisper. I know he's having trouble keeping his wolf at bay and I don't want any other guys to touch me because I'm not marked. He started placing kissed down my neck until he found the spot. I held my breath and waited for the pain to come. He bit down into my neck causing me to bite my lip down hard to stop from screaming in pain but then again it made me want to turn around and kiss him senseless. He pulled back and licked up the tiny bit off blood that came from the now healing cut. He kissed it gently, making bolts of electricity shoot through me. He put his lips to my ear. "Now there you go, you're officially mine." Avery's P.O.V "But what if they come for me and find out I've told you and then kill me for telling you or-" Blake cut me off with a kiss. "Sorry." I muttered, blushing. "Sometimes I just ramble on a bit..." I mumbled. He chuckled and pulled me close to him. "It's cute." What? Rambling on about crap? Adorable. "And don't you even dare to think about worrying because no one will ever hurt you with me here." He cupped my face and looked into my eyes. I showed him a watery smile. That was the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. "Do you promise?" I asked him and he frowned at me. "Promise what?" "Promise me that no one will hurt.me with you by my side and I'll be able to relax." I smiled at him and he smiled back, pecking my lips quickly. "I, Blake Harveson, promise to you, Avery Rose, that I will protect you and nothing will hurt you with me here." I yawned and opened my eyes, stretching my arms up above my head. I frowned when I noticed Zayne wasn't there. Rae whinned and I rolled my eyes at my wolf. So needy. I climbed out of my bed (eventually) and had a quick shower. I wrapped a blue towel around myself and stepped out back into our room. I tied my hair into a bun and looked at myself in the mirror. I gasped and gently ran my finger over the beautiful mark on my neck. It was half a moon (standing for the Half Moon pack) and it's outlined with blue. I dragged my eyes away from the mirror and picked out an outfit. I took a pair of dark pink silk short and a green tank top. I skipped downstairs but stopped when I heard voices talking in Zayne's office. I leaned next to the door and stayed silent. "What?!" Zayne roared. "Sorry Alpha we couldn't stop him, he had back up." Another male voice spoke. "What do you mean you couldn't stop him?! Of course yoy could have stopped him! You could have killed him!" Zayne fought back. "We-" Zayne cutt the guy off. "Maybe if you had killed him they couldn't be killing our pack members!!" My breathing hitched and I decided I should probally go away now. I raced down to the kitchen and started to cook some bacon and eggs. I hummed along to One Way Or Another by One Direction. "Hey Liz." Zayne sighed as he sat down at the table. "Hey." I smiled and pecked his lips quickly before serving up the fry up on two plates. He moaned as he ate and sent me a grateful smile. I smiled back and started to eat mine, sitting down opposite him. "So..." I said casually, "Any important Alpha stuff I should know about?" I asked, sipping my orange juice. He chocked on his food. I got up and patted his back. "You okay Zaza?" I asked him and he nodded and swallowed the food. "Yeah." He coughed, "I'm fine." I sighed with relief and sat back down. "Well?" I prompted. He looked down at his clean plate. "N-No." I raised an eyebrow at him. "You sure?" This time he arched an eyebrow at me. "Yeah I'm sure, why?" I looked down at my feet. "No reason..." He nodded and we sat in silence until an out of breath Tyler came rushing in. "Zayne... rogues... killing..." He panted out and as soon as the words left his mouth, Zayne was elsewhere, leaving me alone in the kitchen. "Well fine then leave me with all the washing up why don't you." I mumbled and got up, taking the two plates with me. I filled the sink with water and waited for it to fill to the top. I turned the tap off and stared to clean a plate. I heard a cracking noise before all the water went red. I frowned and took out my hand. "Holy crap!" I gasped when I saw a slash across my wrist and I winced at the sight of blood. I quickly covered up my wrist, pushing down on it for pressure. I ran to the first aid cuboard and pulled out the mini kit. I searched through it until I found some bandages! Woop woop! Finally. Shame they had to be the wrong sort of bandages though. I screamed out in fustration. "I CAN'T FIND ANY BANDAGES!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. Ivie instantly came rushing in. "What happened? Who's dying?" Sha panted, searching the room for a dying corpse. I laid down on the floor and pouted, pretending to be half dead. "Me." She sighed and kneeled down next to me. "What've you done now?" I gently let go of my hand and blood spurted out everywere, making me clutch it tighter. I looked down at her un-consious body and frowned. "She passed out that quickly?" I questioned quietly, mainly to myself. "Could be that OR the fact that I whacked her around the head with one of your greasy saucepans." A rough voice laughed from behind me and I jumped up immediately. I took a load of steps back with I bumped into someone's chest from behind. It sent tingles through my body so I knew I was safe. I have Zayne with me. "Get our Rogue!" He demanded, using his Alpha tone. The guy fled but that is when I heard several more footsteps above me in the house. Zayne put two hands on my waist and spun me around. "I want you to so me a huge favour Liz." I nodded and listened. He cupped my cheek gently as he spoke. "Go to my Parent's house while I fight these Rogues off." I frowned. "I can help." He shook his head. "There are too many up there. The house is riddled with them. It's only up the road and this'll be finnished by tomorrow." "But-" He cut me off. "No, please. I just want you safe. I'll come and get you the second this is finnished." I sighed. "Fine, but promise me it wont take long." He sighed. "I promise." I smiled at him. "Okay well I need there adress." He chuckled. "Oh yeah! Of course! It's 70 OakTrae lane." I nodded. "Yeah I know where thst is." Zayne pressed his lips to mine and I quickly responded by kissing him back. We broke apart after a moment or two and Zayne pecked my nose quickly. "Be safe. Blake is going to take you there." "What about Ivie?" I asked, suddenly worried for my new friend's health. He smiled at me. "Turn around." I turned around to see Tyler with her in his arms. I sighed and pecked Zayne's cheek. "See you soon then." He nodded and opened his mouth to stay something but got chocked up about it. "Yeah, see ya soon." We sent each other one last smile before Blake (who had been standing there the whole time, un-noticed) quietly led me out through the back garden to the empty woods. I knocked on the door and it opened almost instantly. I was pulled into a tight hug by a strong female who I can only guess is Zayne's mum. "Hello dear! Why haven't you called me to say you were coming?" I coughed, struggling to breathe. "Sorry but I can't call you if I'm dead." I chocked out, my lungs gasping for air. She chuckled and let go. I sighed with relief. "Thanks." I smiled at her and she.opened the door for me. "Come in, come in!" I nodded and turned around to say goodbye to Blake but he was already gone. Zayne's mum shut the door behind us. "Hello." A man that looked like an exact replica of Zayne, only older, greeted me with a firm handshake. "Hi." I smiled at him. "Zayne told me the situation and we will keep you safe until he comes to get you." I smiled warmly at him. "Thank you sir." He chuckled. "Please call me Joseph." I nodded. "And I'm Kate." Zayne's mum smiled at me while introdicing herself. "And I'm Madelyn but please call me Liz." They laughed and we sat down on the sofa. "Lets do 20 questions?" Kate's mum offered and I shrugged. "Sure." "How old are you?" Joseph asked me. "19." I turned to Kate. "Where did you and Zayne meet?" I hesitsted to answer this. "At a cliff while I was having a walk refresh my mind." "Why did you have to refresh your mind?" Joseph asked as soon as the words left my mind. I shifted nervously. "Umm, my step father isn't exactly... Uh, the best father figure..." "What happened to your mother?" Kate asked softly. My eyes watered and I looked down at my shaky hands. "U-Umm, my step-father..." I coughed. "I mean she died." I re-phrased it quickly. "How?" Joseph asked, his voice getting softer. A tear rode down my cheek, remembering the scence. "My step-father-" I chocked on a sob. Kate patted my back soothingly and pulled me into a hug. I closed my eyed and stopped the tears. I took a deep breath and re-opened my eyes. I smiled at them. "Sorry about that." I said, trying to be confident. I don't want to seem weak infront of Zayne's parents. "No worries love, do you want to help me cook dinner?" Kate asked, thankfuly changing the subject. I nodded and we stood up and she led me to the kitchen. "Okay so what are we making?" I asked as she rumaged through the cuboards. She took out the flower and handed it to me. "You, are making the dessert while I, will make the main course." I nodded. "What is the dessert?" She grinned at me and handed me an cook book, open at a certain page. I looked down at it and grinned. "Chocolate cake." I looked up at her. "I like." She laughed and we got to work. I mixed the butter in with the flour and started up a conversation. "So, is it just us tonight?" She shook her head. "No, there is another Alpha couple coming but that's it." I nodded. "Okay." I poured the chocolatey mixture into the mould as Kate started talking again. "Zayne will be okay you know." I sighed and looked at her. "I know I just... I dunno. I hope he's safe." I admitted. She nodded. "It's like that when you first find your mate. Always worrying about them. I'm know for a fact that Zayne worries about you non-stop." She laughed. "How did you first meet Joseph?" She grinned. "Well, it all started on my 16th birthday when..."
