White Wolf’s Curse

GRAY

I am going to kill whoever it is in this wood. They need to stay away from her. I am so sick of everyone touching her. They just need to leave her alone. She is mine. I can’t rationalize it, but it is there. I watched her all weekend and it wasn’t enough. I need her to fucking breathe.

My paws pounding on the ground don’t even feel a thing as I run to defend her from whoever thought that they could come here. This is a place for me and her. I am close to the border when I catch the scent. I am even more pissed when I recognize it. I start tearing up the ground as I race towards it. He is still in the woods, but close to the border of our property. His black wolf is standing there staring at me.

What the hell do you think you are doing? Your mother told me that you think you are mated to that thing.

None of your business. You aren’t even my father.

Only because you never treated me as such. I am still the father that raised you.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Not even. My dad isn’t some absentee father. He has always been here for me. Just like now, you are not on my side. You haven’t even heard a word from my mouth about this. You are just a prejudiced jackass.

Don’t you dare talk to me like that.

I will talk to you however I want. You want some respect, earn it. Learn to fucking talk to me if you want a relationship with me. But you never did. It was always about your precious little girl. I was the mistake.

You are not a mistake. Who the fuck told you that?

Your little girl, she told me about how you talk about me behind my back. Now I am going to make this perfectly clear. You stay away from her. I will not hesitate to fight you on this. She is off limits. I hear you even talked to her and I will kill you. She is none of your business.

Which one is she? There are two there.

Doesn’t matter, leave them both alone. Leave the whole family alone.

You are awfully demanding today.

I don’t care what you think. I am not backing down here. Leave her alone.

Alright, how about this. We will sit down and talk about this. I will hear your side and we can come to a rational adult decision about this.

There is nothing to talk about. Just leave her and her family alone. I am not going to stop meeting her either.

Even though you aren’t sure she is your mate, isn’t that dangerous considering your lineage?

I pause. He’s right. What if I am wrong? If he hadn’t howled I would have marked her. I was right there and I was biting her skin. She is flooding my senses and I can’t think straight. I sit on my hunches and sigh. You’re right. I am being too rushed. I love her. I’m not going to hide it. But maybe you’re right and I should put some distance between us until her birthday.

Good then at least we agreed on that. I am not going to say that I am thrilled with her being a part of that family, but from what I have heard she doesn’t really know any of this stuff. None of them do. So I am sure she isn’t holding some old family grudge against you. However her aunt is in town and she will. Don’t let the rest of that family catch you.

I won’t. I’m going to go take a break. I think I might have some things to think about.

Alright son. If you need to talk I am here.

I just nod and head back to the house to shift back. How the fuck could he be so right about something like this. He doesn’t understand shit, but what he said is right. I don’t want to lose her.
