My Lovable Possessive Mate novel Chapter 2

And after he got involved in drugs, their relationship started going haywire. There were always fights between them, about how he was becoming a jerk just because of his mom's death. That really pissed my brother off. So, when the opportunity came, that we were going to the countryside, he broke up with her, giving the "long-distance" reason.

I had to admit, his girlfriend was self-obsessed and always cared about her Facebook likes then anything. So, in a way, it was good, but I'm not a good judge. Me and my brother never had the 'talk' about love or life.

I was happy with how things were sailing, my father who had promised to quit drinking and my brother who had also promised to quit taking drugs. I could see hope for a better happy life. And this place was the one which would do that

ALLEN POV

I was sleeping, but somewhere I could hear a faint howl. This disrupted my peaceful sleep. I went near the balcony to see where the voice came from. I could see nothing but woods topped by a full moon. I knew that wolves usually try to howl during full moon.

so, I ignored the voice but there was no luck. Although aunt had warned us about not going anywhere close to the woods. Something in me was curious to know where the voice came from. It is always a human instinct to be curious about what we don't see.

So, I opened the back door slowly, not to disturb my boys. I was only wearing a white frock, which made me feel the chills in the wind. As I went closer to the woods there were only tall huge trees, which was making it difficult to navigate myself towards the voice. But, something in me was feeling relieved and scared at the same time.

I walked for 10 mins before I saw a lake, man was it gorgeous. The moonlight danced over its surface reflecting the sky. It was mesmerizing, I could watch it a whole day without blinking my eyes.

Some abrupt noises disturbed the surroundings. I could see some shadows moving across the pond. Fearing they would spot me. I hid behind a rock.

As I strained my eyes to look closer, I could spot wolves.....they were freaking 4 times the size of humans. Now I was in deep trouble. I had to wait before they left the grounds, or who knows I would be their main dish. By their movements, I could tell that there was a pack who were going against a grey wolf.

We both ran for our dear lives. We never looked back until we reached the house, closing the door and locking it, even supporting it with a chair. 'Thanks bro' I said with a smile. The look on his face said that I was about to get an hour lecture and also be grounded for a week.

And... it started

"WHAT DO YOU THINK you are doing here deep in the woods? Do you know what would happen if I wasn't there on TIME? You would have been EATEN!! Me and dad would have to search for your broken legs and hands. What was in your MIND while you did that........' and it went on for 2 hours like I said.

"you're GROUNDED for a week" he said and left. But the rush and excitement we both had while running was something we never felt in a year. I was happy to see my grumpy possessive brother back to life again.

I went back to sleep after a hot bath.
