Chapter 5

Elaina pov. ''Mate'' he said and started to walk towards me, not taking his eyes off of me. Everyone walked back and made a path so he could reach me with no problem. I was shaking with fear. What do I do? ''Elaina'' Emma whispered quietly next to me with fear in her voice. I quickly looked at her and saw her looking in my mate's direction. I looked back at my mate and only then did I see his beta walking behind him growling as well. His beta was looking at Emma and growling. I growled at that. He is not going to hurt my best friend. My mate and his beta walked up the stage. My mate was about to walk towards me but I growled at him and then at his beta. I stood in front of Emma protecting her from his beta. His beta growled at me. I was standing in the way of his prey. He is not going to hurt my friend just because she is human. He has to go through me first. My mate looked at his beta and growled at him because he growled at me and then looked at Emma and then back at me. I growled when he took a step forwards. Emma whimpered behind me. I saw Molly walk next to me with Jack, Dylan and Luke by her side. They all stood with me in front of Emma protecting her from the beta. My mate took another step forward and now it was my brother that growled at him and walked in front of me. Dylan, Luke and Molly followed him and now they stood in front of me and Emma, protecting us. I took Emma's hand and pulled her into my side. No one is going to hurt her. Not even my mate. My mate growled at my friends, ''My mate!'' His beta growled as well and I growled back at him. ''Let me get to my mate!'' Alan, my mate, growled at my friends. I growled at him. He didn't even care that his beta was thinking about killing my human friend! Alan looked at me with hurt in his eyes when he heard me growl at him but I didn't care. If he is letting his beta kill my friend just because she is human then he deserves my growl and so much more! I guess the rumors are true after all...My mate is a monster.... ''Then tell your beta to back off of my friend!'' I growled at him and he looked at me confused. He looked at his beta who was growling and looking at Emma. ''You think he is going to kill her because she is human?'' Alan asked me when he turned to look back at me. His beta whimpered when he heard his Alpha say that. I looked at the beta confused. Emma heard the whimper as well and she looked up at him. He was looking at her with sadness in his eyes. With regret. ''She is his mate!'' Alan said to me and I relaxed a little bit. ''Then why is he growling at her!'' Molly asked him, still guarding us, just like the boys. ''Because he just saw his mate god dammit!'' he said angry at her, ''I growled as well when I saw my mate or are you deaf? And all four of you are guarding our mates and not letting us get to them! What do you think we would do!'' ''He was growling at me when he was coming here!'' Emma spoke up next to me. I smiled inside my head when I realized that she just talked back to an alpha, ''No one was standing in front of me then!'' ''I'm sorry'' Alan's beta finally spoke up and I felt Emma shiver next to me, ''I didn't mean to scare you. My wolf just took control when he saw you.'' I looked at Emma and she nodded at him slowly. I smiled at that and heard a groan. I looked at Alan who just did that and he already was looking at me. ''Will you four just let me go to my mate already?!'' Alan said angry and they all looked at me. I nodded at them and they slowly walked away. Immediately Alan walked towards me and pulled me in his arms with his nose in my neck. ''Finally'' he whispered against my neck and I let out a small smile. I couldn't move. My hands were by my side because I didn't manage to pull them apart from my body before Alan hugged me. So I was stuck now but I didn't mind it. I heard the crowd clap and I looked at them. They were all smiling. Some were still shocked from what happened just seconds ago. I looked at Emma who just like me was in her mates arms. But unlike mine, her arms were free. Lucky!
