The Last White Wolf novel Chapter 21

The arms wrapped around me, lifting me from the depressing snow. I snuggled into them staining Austin's chest with my tears, "He hates me..."

"No, he loves you. Just give him time." Says the one who despises Milo... I wanted to say but now wasn't the right time to start an argument. He carried me back in silence, he didn't try asking any questions about what I did or let Milo do. "It's annoying." He breath adding noises to my sobs and the shuffling of his feet through the snow. "Milo's scent on you..."

"Sorry..." I tried to hide my face from him. He placed me back into the bed brushing my curls back.

"You'll have another chance tomorrow." Austin smiled, a small twist in my stomach erupted as I blush nodding. "Good night." He kissed my forehead before heading out of the tent. If he was still here if Milo ever tried to visit my tent, I knew things would become hell. I rolled over staring at the tent wall that the fire had cast a shadow of the objects in the room had. My vision faded out into blackness as I soon fell asleep.

Even though the water was cold I had no choice but to bathe in it. My body was sunk into the water of the river drowning in coldness. I tried to pay no mind to the temperature and just bathe but with each scrub and splash my body began to fall numb. Just by the small fact of what he said affected me, yet Milo didn't say anything about his. It's annoying... Milo's scent on you... I pulled all of myself under the water, letting the liquid run through the roots of my hair. Beautiful he said... Just what was so beautiful about me? My wolf, being the only white wolf is what made Milo love me, I was sure of it. If I had been a regular brown wolf or light wolf like my brother I'm sure he wouldn't feel that way towards me. There was absolutely nothing about me that sent people into awe, without my wolf who I can't even shift into, I'm still the same pathetic Chance.

A hand pulled me out of the water as I stairs at the owner. Silas wore an worried expression, more panic than usual. I gazed into his eyes questioning as he caught his breath, "Have you seen Milo?"

"Milo...? No? Not since last night..."

"Shit." he muttered standing.

"What's going on?" My heart was rapidly beating, its loud painful thuds slamming against my chest. Did something bad happen to Milo again? All because of me?

"But I want to help too-"

"No." He hissed pushing me forward again. "I don't need to worry about you while searching for that dumbass." In general I would have been happy that he was worrying about me but the fact that he was being a complete ass about it didn't quite please me.

I turned back around facing him in anger, "You can't just push me back and think I'm going to stay-"

He pushed me up against the tree that bordered the end of the forest, his hands digging into the bark above as his blue eyes pierced into mine. My words submerged back into my throat blocking the air that I needed to exhale. He hovered over me, keeping me trapped in front of him before his voice broke my thoughts, "You're going to stay. I don't want to have to worry about you when we're out there. Due to what happened last time there is a high percent chance of us getting attacked again." I clenched the bottom of the shirt I wore that brushed against my skin. "You understand now? Silas will stay behind with you," I nodded hypnotized by his presence as he pressed closely against me. Just the fact of his lips almost touching mine's sent my body into a numb state, and when they did my mind shot blank. He moved his lips over mine seductively and completely overtook by it my body bumped forward. I could feel him smirk into the kiss but continue, Silas and Forrest faces faded out as I closed my eyes wrapping my arms around his neck. His leg bucked in between mine causing me to groan as his knee slightly brushed against my middles.
