Protecting Her

Chapter Eight

Sarah Woods

Holy. Shit. Mason was about to kiss me...and I wanted him to. I craved his lips on mines, it's been a whole day since that almost kiss and I can't stop thinking about it. I can't stop imagining how it could've gone, his lips on mines, his hands on me and mines on him.

I snap out of it quickly, fuck what has gotten into me. I haven't seen him since that almost kiss, I don't know if its me avoiding him or him avoiding me but I haven't seen him in a whole day.

I speak too soon, I see him running out of the woods followed by the warrior wolves. I bring my knees up to my chest as I sit on the roof of the house. Why am I feeling like this towards Mason? Why do I want his touch?

I snap out of my thoughts when the blue sky starts turning grey out of nowhere, I look up with wide eyes as I recognize the fog that's blocking the sky. We're under attack.

"Sarah! Get to the safe room, now!" Dad mindlinks me, I jump off the roof landing perfectly on the ground as my wolf teeth start coming out and I growl seeing vampires running towards us

"Sarah! Listen to your Dad! Go!" Steve says running out of the house and shifting in time to tackle two vampires away from me

"Sarah.." The voice is back, I look around for where it's coming from
"What do you want? Why the blood bath when you can come face to face with me" I say
"I want you and I want your pack to make us stronger" The voice says, it's more masculine than before, it's my biological fathers voice
"You're my dad...aren't you?" I ask then hit a vampire sending it flying across the field
"Yes, I need you Sarah. Please, let them bring you to me" He says as I lock eyes with a vampire
"If you really need me, you could've came for me yourself and years ago" I say then attack the vampire snapping its neck off

"Sarah!" I turn around to see Dad running towards me in wolf speed then I'm in the safe room
"Honey, you're hurt" Mom says looking at my arm, I see blood, a scratch
"Why didn't you listen to me? You know what, we'll talk later" Dad says then leaves again closing the door behind him as Mom holds me from following after him

"Mom, this is my fight. I should be fighting too. They want me!" I say, she shushes me as she runs her hand through my hair
"Sweetheart, he just wants you safe. He doesn't want you in harms way. He loves you too much to let you put yourself at risk" She says, I sigh

"He spoke to me" I say
"Who?" She asks
"My biological father" I say, she turns a little to look at me
"What did he say?" She asks
"That he needs me, he wants the pack, he wants strength. He is just using me" I say as a tear slides down my cheek
"Oh honey" Mom says in pity

"How could I have been so foolish to think he wanted to meet me, that he wanted to be a Dad to me. All he wants is power and strength..not me" I say, my voice falling into a whisper as I cry, Mom holds me tightly.

"He doesn't deserve you Sarah. He is not worthy to have you as a daughter" She says kissing the top of my head as she rocks me with her softly
