Chapter 20
THEODORE'S POV:
My warriors, friends, and I kept on running through the forest to search for Natalie. Suddenly, I got the scent of Natalie's perfume. I sped up my paws and started following that scent. Suddenly, I got a whiff of Carl's scent too. Oh Moon goddess, please protect my mate, Natalie. She is stupid, I cannot believe it. Despite warning her not to step out of the mansion, she disobeyed me.
Natalie came running and hugged me. "Theodore, please save Abram, Carl will kill him"
I was shocked by listening to her. How does she know Abram and Carl? And why will Carl kill his brother? I swiftly transformed into my human form and asked her.
"Natalie what are you saying? How do you know Abram? And with whom did you escape and why?- ---Wait----did you escape with Abram?", I asked and she nodded affirmatively.
My eyes started turning black and my wolf started empowering me. "Why?" I asked furiously. "Theodore, you can lecture me later. You can even punish me but please save Abram. Carl will kill him, Theodore, please save him. I don't want him to die", Natalie begged.
I was hurt and annoyed at the same time. I saw my mate crying for some other guy, who was my enemy's brother. But still, I cannot understand, what was she saying. Why will Carl kill his brother? Steven, Daniel, Zen, and my warriors came. I ordered Daniel and Zen to take Natalie back to the pack.
"No, Theodore I won't go back until Abram is fine and I see him with my own eyes", Natalie replied. "Natalie, you are my mate. Do you fucking get that? I being your mate and an Alpha of Blue Moon Pack orders you to go back to the pack with Zen and Daniel”, I yelled furiously and she flinched back. Tears welled up in her eyes, but it didn't affect me, this time. Even I was hurt.
Zen, Daniel along with some warriors took Natalie back to the pack safely. I started to search for Carl and his brother Abram.
"Theodore, where are you going?", Steven asked. "To search for that bastard Carl and his brother Abram. I want to see Steven, whether Carl kills, Abram, if he doesn't kill him, I am going to kill that son of a bitch"
"Theodore, please act maturely.”, Steven told gripping my hands.
"Steven, you want me to act maturely? How will you behave when you find your mate Anne crying for some other guy? I could read Natalie's eyes, she has the fear of losing Abram, just like I have the fear of losing her”, I yelled angrily.
"Theodore let's return to the pack, please, I am begging you", Steven told and I nodded. We returned to the pack.
I directly went to our room where I saw Natalie sitting on the bed and crying, while Kylie, Anna, and Cassandra were trying to console her.
When she saw me, she came rushing. "Where is Abram, is he safe?"
I clenched my fist angrily listening to Abram's name from her mouth. "Theodore, I am asking you something. Where is Abram?"
"How do you know him? And why are you so concerned about him? Do you like him?", I asked calmly.
"Theodore first you answer my question is he safe?", Natalie asked which made me more annoyed and I pinned her to the wall.
"You need not worry about him, he's not your mate. I am your mate, so you better answer my questions” I yelled angrily.
"How can you be so possessive Theodore?" Natalie asked angrily.
"Because you're my mate and I love you. I can't hear any other man's name from your mouth. Do you get that?", I roared, holding her jaws angrily.
"You know what Theodore, this is your bloody insecurity. I thought only we humans have these tendencies, like possessiveness, jealousy, never knew that you werewolves too had these stupid tendencies”, Natalie yelled back at me.
"These tendencies like possessiveness, jealousy which you're talking about, is there in humans as well as animals who love someone deeply. Just like you have these feelings for Abram. Isn't it?", I asked clutching her waist.
"You're sick, bloody sick. I went with Abram to my house to get this locket which dad gave me on my eighth birthday", Natalie yelled showing that locket.” And stop getting jealous of Abram, and better be thankful to him, he has gone against his brother to save me, to save you, to save our entire pack”
I felt happy when she said "our pack’, But wait, what is she telling? Abram went against his brother, that's next to impossible.
"Natalie, can you please tell to us everything in detail?", Steven asked.
Natalie narrated to us everything, how she met Abram in high school, and how did they become friends. They went on a dinner date and on the way back to their home, they were attacked by a wolf. Abram asked Natalie to run away from there and Natalie did what she was said. The next day she got to know that Abram was killed in an animal attack. Today morning, she saw Abram, peeping from the window and when she called him out, he ran from there. Natalie was about to follow him but the Omegas stopped her way. Later, at noon when she was fast asleep, she heard some noise from the room and her sleep got disturbed. She saw Abram in the room. Abram told him how his brother Carl is behind her life as she's a healer and a destroyer of evils. Abram later asked her about the locket which Uncle Neil gave her on Natalie's eighth birthday to which she replied that it is at her home. They both went together to get that locket and on their way back to the pack, Carl stopped their way. Abram asked Natalie to run away saying that he would stop Carl from chasing her. Natalie ran from there, hoping to get help for Abram.
Listening to her we all were shocked.
"What will you say now, Theodore? You should be obliged to him that he saved me, he saved you and your pack by notifying us about Carl's plan beforehand", Natalie told bitterly.
I still could not believe what she said. I very well know Abram, he loves his brother, how and why will he go against him?
"Does Abram love you?", Steven asked and I looked towards Natalie waiting for her reply.
"Yes", Natalie replied. "Do you love him back?", I asked clenching my fist angrily.
"No", She replied not looking towards me.
"Look into my eyes and say that you don't love him back", I said.
"Are you crazy? It's not a movie-going on", She told frustratedly.
"Yes, I am crazy. Look into my eyes and say that you don't love him*, I told clutching her arms.
She looked into my eyes and replied, "I liked him, but since you've come into my life since I have got to know the entire truth from you, you hold a special place in my heart and no one is going to take that place"
I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her tightly. She hugged me back too and whispered, "Theodore, I don't want to live in a pang of guilt my entire life. Abram tried to save me if god forbid something happens to him I'll not be able to forgive myself"
"I'll go back to the forest and will search for him.", I replied kissing her forehead.
"Thank you", She replied with tears in her eyes. I wiped off her tears and whispered in her ears, "I Love you"
She blushed red and I smiled looking at her.
"Girls, take care of her. We'll be back by evening", I told and left from there for the forest with Steven, Daniel, Zen, and other warriors to search for Abram.
