The Guardian Wolf And Her Alpha Mate
The Blessed Ones – A Blessing Or A Curse? Chapter 34

Mila POV:

"Kill me?" I laugh emotionlessly. "Just brilliant."

Staring at me in shock at my lack of reaction, I look up at her with a bored expression. "Anything else or can I be left alone again now? I don't care if I'm told 5 minutes before being killed or 2 days. But nice try for scaring me Rebecca, it was so very upsetting." Rolling my eyes I look at Bruno as he watches me conflicted

"Well I hope it doesn't get to you too much until the time comes" Rebecca says, her voice cheerful as she's unable to hide her glee.

"Seriously?" I ask her with a cold laugh.

"I'll be fine. But

thanks for your concern, if you'd like I could give you something that would upset you.? You know, just to be even?"

"Come on Rebecca, funs over" Bruno growls as he comes to hold her waist as Rebecca seems oblivious to my comment.

"How disappointing" Rebecca sighs before spinning on her heel and marching from the cabin.

"Oh Rebecca!" I call sweetly. "Would you be a doll and turn off the light on your way out? After all, I wouldn't want your mate here to have to see my horrible-looking face."

Hearing her footsteps pause, I hear her huff in annoyance before leaving without turning the light off. "Worth a try" I mutter before standing myself up and walking over to flick them off.

"So I'm going to be killed?" I chuckle to Bruno as his hardened face gives nothing away. "Well, I'd like to say I'm surprised, but I'm not. I knew it would be a strong possibility, now it could be interesting to at least know why I'm being killed? If it's just to please your girlfriend then I have to say that's pretty wasteful. Giving in to her demands despite knowing you've been *****g others in your time apart, although maybe that's why you want to kill me. I suffered through the evidence didn't I?"

With that Bruno growls before storming over to the door and snapping it shut decisively. "Do not mention that" he orders me.

"I would have already if I actually gave a st*t" I shrug. "as much as I hate Rebecca, im not going to cause her any more distress that could potentially have a harmful effect on the pup, the pup at least is innocent. Tell me Bruno, is that why you rejected me? Because you knew Alia would be out for blood if we were still bonded and we saw another female pregnant with your pup?"

Seeing his lips pursed, I nod in realization, "it was," I chuckle.

"Well, im not complaining" I tell him. "Either way I got the outcome I wanted." "You're taking this awfully well" Bruno comments as he watches me closely

"As opposed to what? Fly off the handle, break some s**t?

Oh no... I had to BEHAVE, didn't I?" I ask him innocently. "So are you killing me to get one back on Axton? To make him suffer a great loss? Or are you doing it to get back at my brother? Or simply to make your life easier?"

Firing off the questions at Bruno, I watch closely for any type of reaction. When his expression stays the same, I slump back as I think about what else may be the reasoning. "It's something to do with Rebecca's father," I muse quietly.

Seeing Bruno's eyes narrow slightly, the movement so minuscule I could have imagined it. "Ah." I chuckle. "Got to keep the father-in-law happy."

Seeing another glint of silver over Bruno's shoulder out the window behind, I freeze as I look around frantically.

"What are you looking at?" Bruno growls, spinning to follow my line of sight.

Recovering quickly, I force myself to talk. "Just how much I wish I had got some fresh air today" I whisper pathetically.

Snapping his head back to mine, he sighs before looking to the sky outside. "Look, Mila, I know it's too little too late, and for that, I apologize. But I do want to apologise for my actions, although I cant say I'd change them as I am all too aware of the type of man I am, I would like to acknowledge how hard it must have been for you."

"You're saying that before I die?' I ask him quietly.

"I feel I should...yes" he agrees slowly

"Well don't" I snarl, my anger returning with a vengeance." What's done is done."

Seeing another hint of silver behind him, I yawn dramatically before glaring at Bruno. "In fact, I'm quite tired and would like to go to bed. If you could leave, I'd be more than grateful" I say with a sneer.

Wordlessly, he stands up, looking torn as he opens his mouth. But before any words tumble from his mouth, there is a loud thumping on the door followed by shouting.

Storming over and flinging the door open, Bruno snarls loudly, "WHAT?"

"There are a number of unknown approaching, we also have suspicious activity and scent trails a mile south of here Alpha" I hear a male tell him breathlessly and Bruno swears loudly.

"Stay here, you'll have guards" he orders me as I throw my hands in the air.

"Where the f**k do you expect me to go Bruno? I'm bolted in for goddesses sake. Just f*****g leave" I snarl.

His eyes flash at my attitude, but hearing more shouting from outside he growls loudly and steps from the cabin.

Hearing the bolts slide loudly against the door, I slump back down on the sofa, embracing the quietness of my cabin once more.

"There's still hope Mila" Alia tells me quietly. "Do you think that's Jax coming to us?"

"I doubt it" I whisper dejectedly. "Unknown scents, they would know if Jax, Axton and Alex were after us."

"But Nova can hide scents" Alia says hopefully.

"Can she change them?" I ask her.

"I..I don't know" she answers me.

"Well settle in Alia, for now. We aren't going anywhere" I mutter, not letting my hopes rise only for them to fall and upset me further. Standing slowly, I wander to the fridge and get out some juice, robotically pouring myself a glass and then making some toast. Sighing loudly as I take a bite, I turn to walk back to the sofa but movement catches the corner of my eye. Snapping my head up, I freeze as my eyes meet those of a man stood directly outside of the glass doors. His hair long and silver, his body tall and lean as his pale skin stands out brightly in the moonlight. But what has me frozen is his eyes, his bright red eyes that are staring directly at me.

"Vampire..." I breath as I make no effort to move. As he moves his arms upwards, his eyes glance around before focusing back on me making me flinch. Holding his hands up in a peaceful gesture, he offers me a small smile before slowly pointing to the door. Not relaxing my posture, I slowly shake my head, indicating I can't open it. "Can we trust him?" I ask Alia.

"I don't know" she huffs back, her hackles raised in my mind as she watches through my eyes. As I'm debating if trusting a strange vampire or waiting for the death that Rebecca's father has promised me, I see the man bring his hand down to rest on the handle as a soft gold light envelops his hand. A second later I hear a quiet click as the door unlocks. Swinging it open, he silently steps into the room. His movements slow and deliberate as his hands return to his peaceful gesture. "Who are you?" I whisper as he continues moving closer.

"You're Mila?" He asks, his voice velvety and smooth as his expression stays relaxed and gentle.

Nodding slowly, he smiles widely. "Always remember that life moves on, when times get tough..look up to the stars" he tells me quietly as my body slumps in relief.

"Jax" I whisper before the world turns black.
