The Guardian Wolf And Her Alpha Mate -
The Blessed Ones – A Blessing Or A Curse? Chapter 24
Mila POV:
Waking with a start, I sit bolt upright in my bed as it takes a moment for my eyes to focus. Looking around the room, still swathed in darkness, I stand up from the bed and stumble to the high window. Pulling back the curtains I shriek when my eyes immediately meet a pair of dark brown ones staring in. "GET AWAY" I yell in a panic as I rush to close the curtains again to the low grumble of the mans laughter following.
Tip-toeing to the bedroom door, I peer round and cock my head listening closely. Not hearing anyone else within the cabin, I take a deep inhale and once that confirms I'm alone, I pad through to the kitchen making sure not to look out of the small window I pass on the way.
Opening the fridge, I see it fully stocked and pause momentarily taking it all in. Inside the shelves are full to burst with all different kinds of meat, fresh fruit and vegetables and plenty of dairy foods. Looking at the amount of food in there, I realise Bruno doesn't plan for me to be moving elsewhere anytime soon, even with the typically large appetite I have due to being a wolf, the amount of food in there will easily last me the week.
Sighing, I begin pulling everything I'd need for a large omelette out before making a coffee and beginning cooking. Knowing I had no idea what was to come, I needed to make sure I kept healthy and strong, especially for Alia. I will never allow Bruno to weaken us again.
Halfway through breakfast, my sharp senses pick up on muffled voices nearing the cabin. Pausing, so I can listen closely, I close my eyes and focus. "Meeting tomorrow afternoon..." ...surprise them.."
"She will be here by this evening and we can proceed then." this I can tell is Bruno's voice, hearing him near the cabin, my eyes fly open and I quickly pick up my cutlery continuing to eat. Looking down, I study my omelette as I methodically cut it and take small bites.
Racking my brain as I try to think of what meeting it may be, I come up blank. Realising it most likely has something to do with Bruno's plans, I decide to not question him and see if I can hear anything else of worth during my time here. With the mention of a woman coming, my body goes cold at the assumption it will be Rebecca. Remembering the malicious smirks she would direct towards me, and the way her eyes brightened whenever she saw me in pain I growl lightly just as the front door swings open. "And what's got you so angry at this time of morning?" Bruno asks in amusement as he sits down in the chair opposite me.
"Wouldn't you like to know" I reply back snarkily for him only to chuckle, his eyes bright with intrigue.
"I see you've made yourself at home" he comments as he takes in what little food I have left on my plate.
Shrugging, I don't grace him with a reply, instead I continue to eat until my plate is empty. Once finished, I lean back as take a sip of my coffee, looking across at Bruno where I sense a more positive energy surrounding him today.
"May I get some fresh air today?" I ask as my gaze moves to the beams of morning sunlight filtering through the trees above. "I cant be cooped up like this constantly Bruno."
"Ooo I like it when you say my name" he smirks making me simply roll my eyes in response. "Yes, I will accompany you for a walk this afternoon, we can walk around here and if you wish to eat outside I can join you."
Pausing as that wasn't exactly what I had in mind, I quickly weigh up my options. Going outside was necessary, for my well being but also so I can take more details of where I am currently being held. In my dazed state of arrival yesterday, I hadn't taken in anything bar the fact we were in a clearing in a forest. "Ok" I quietly reply.
"You want to do both?" He asks in slight surprise.
"Wolves need fresh air, of course I want to be outside. Don't take it as I want to be in your company" I reply coldly.
"That's more like the Mila I know" he chuckles. "Tomorrow I have something important to discuss with you, I require your cooperation in something important" he starts as I look at him curiously.
"Or else?" I ask slowly.
"I think you know" he grins as he cracks his knuckles.
"And theres the Bruno I know" I sneer back at him.
"The one and only" he smirks. "I have some guests arriving later today, they will be wanting to see you so make sure youre presentable. I'll have some clothes brought to you after dinner. Is there anything you need as I will be busy until this afternoon?" "Nothing that I think you will agree to so...no" I huff as I cross my arms angrily, my heart aching as the thought of mate lingers in my mind. "Am I allowed to train?"
"Train" he laughs. "Why would you feel the urge to train Mila? You have your yoga equipment, if you wish to do some this morning then I am more than happy to ask Harry to oversee you for a short 30minutes."
"Is this your way of buttering me up to try ensure I cooperate?" I ask him bluntly.
"Yes" he admits immediately, "like I said Mila I don't wish to hurt you if it can be helped. Just take what I'm offering for now, it will be a lot easier on the both of us. trust me."
"But I don't Bruno, I have absolutely no reason to trust you" I scoff. "Is Harry the one who was peeping in my bedroom window this morning?"
"Excuse me?" He bellows as his eyes jump to meet mine.
"You heard me, I opened my curtains and was met with some brown eyes, I knew they weren't yours" I mutter.
"That bastard" he growls before slamming his fist on the table and storming out the cabin, the door slamming shut behind him as his good mood evaporates.
"As polite as ever" I grumble while taking my dirty plate to the sink and rinsing everything clean. Sighing I pour myself a glass of apple juice and then take a seat on the sofa, thinking through what Bruno had said. Suddenly there is a loud roar from outside and I shoot up off the sofa, recognising it as belonging it to Bruno. Yet this time, his anger didn't seem to be directed towards me.
Running to the window in the bedroom, I pull the curtains open and gasp in surprise as I see Bruno's slamming the man I assume to be Harry into the ground, where blood is pouring from a large gash on his chest while his eyes roll back as he passes out. "You do not EVER touch Mila, don't forget why we are here.
She CANNOT come to harm" Bruno seethes as he turns his furious glare on the men who are gathering around him. "If I see your hungry eyes on her I will not hesitate to do worse than I have today with Harry, all of you may consider this your warning!" Spinning slowly, his blood splattered face looks to me, his brown eyes taking in my surprise. Taking a shaky step back, I feel the bed hit the back of my legs and I sit down in shock, staring at the wall below the high window where I can no longer see my ex mate. "I just need to stay alive and out of harms way as long as possible" I mutter to myself. "I can do this."
"We can do this Mila" I hear Alia murmur quietly to me.
"You're back" I breathe in relief as tears fall down my face.
"I am" she says confidently. "Its time to show that man, he is no longer our Alpha."
