Ours novel Chapter 44

Nala POV

After I catch up with jenny, I tried calling her but she kept running so I jumped on her. She's crying, I don't know why but I don't like this I don't like seeing my friend hurt.

"What's wrong? Who hurt you? Who do I have to kill" I ask her meaning every word, no one hurt what's mine.

When she keeps crying I try a different tactic "Shh shhh come on let's go somewhere private to talk."

I know we can't go back to the house too many people, too many ears to have a private conversation.

So I take her to the best place to have a private talk, a cave deep in the wood, it's a bit of a hike to get there.

The first time I went there it was with Mathew and Zach, it's where they told me their story.

Being a wolf has its perks my balance is better than it used to be, I'm faster and I can go longer.

By the time we made it there, jenny is sweating and swearing about the hike. I can't help but laugh at her at least she's not crying anymore.

"Sit down, talk to me, why were you crying?" I ask her with my best stern voice.

She shakes her head no.

"Come on jenny you know you can trust me"

Again with the head shake.

"Jennifer I'm your Luna and friend you know I'll never laugh at you or hurt you"

She shrug

"JENNIFER talk to me, I can't help you if you don't talk to me"

She looks at me with teary eyes and burst into sobs, damn is this how my mates feel when I give them hard time. Shit, I really should try and behave.

I do what the guys always do to me when I break down crying I hug her close, I'm petting her hair trying to calm her down, yeah maybe yelling at her wasn't the best option ever.

After about ten minutes jenny is calm enough to talk to me.

"I'm sorry jenny I shouldn't have yelled at you, but I don't like seeing you hurt that's all," I say in a calm voice.

She just nods.

He walks out with Nala in his arm while I'm still sitting on the cave floor, next thing I know someone is lifting me by my arms

"You okay?" the voice asks and I nod.

"Okay pup I'm taking you home, you gave your parent the scare of their life," he says and I nod again.

He doesn't let me walk instead I'm being carried bridal style. When we're out of the cave and I can finally see who's holding me it's the beta.

"I heard Nala saying you were crying you okay now" the beta ask

"Yes sir," I say in a law voice and avoid all eye contact

"You know if someone hurt you or says something bad to you all you have to do is come and find me," he says.

Yeah right sure I'll do that when the pigs fly, but I just nod at him.

"My name is Ryland, I'm beta of this pack, sheriff of this town and I'm your Luna mate. But I can assure you I'm nothing like your old beta that scumbag deserves to be crucified for what he did to you. So let me tell you this again if anyone, and I mean anyone ever hurt you or try to bully you. Jennifer, you come straight to me and I promise you I WILL PROTECT YOU"

I did not expect those words from him or the intensity of them but I believe him, I'm putting my trust in this pack dominants and I pray to god I won't be hurt again.
