The Blind Second Chance

Chapter Fourteen

Emerald
~

I groaned feeling the senses rush back to me as I woke up. I slept really good last night, well except my visions that I had. I stretched a bit and my hand accidentally bumped into something, err rather someone. I pulled back yelping a bit and the person started to move.

I shuffle backwards and then was stopped as I felt an arm around my waist, the person tugged on me pulling me closer. My breath got heavy and I smelled Dylan. Wait. This is Ryder?!? I put my hands on his chest and started to pull away, only to make him pull me closer. He put his head in the crook of my neck making me gasp.

"R-Ryder" I whispered. He moved again getting comfortable and I heard his soft breath in my ear, feeling the tickling sensation on my neck. I bit my lower lip and sighed. He is such a heavy sleeper. I whined softly. My hands went up and they caressed his soft face. They found their way to his hair and I started to play with it and he groaned starting to get up. I pulled away and felt him grab my wrist.

"What are you doing?" He growled softly sounding half asleep.

"You wouldn't let me go, I needed to wake you up"I gulped almost stuttering on my words, feeling how close he was to me. 

"S-Sorry I uh"

"I'll just go back to my room I didn't mean to-"

"No" he growled and his grip on me tightened. "I'm moving your stuff into my room. You are staying where I can see you got it?" I nodded and he let go of me. His heartbeat slowed and I got up, swinging my legs over the bed. I yawned making my way to the door.

"Where are you going?" He barked. I froze and kept my head down.

"I-I'm gonna get breakfast" my voice had squeaked a bit. He growled and I heard shuffling of the bed sheets and he stood up.

"Not in those clothes your not. I'll send someone to get you breakfast"

"What clothes?"  He chuckled.

"Your in my shirt and just your undies, my shirt reaches high thigh" his wolf was coming out making me bite my lip and want to hide.

Please let me out, mate is nervous around us

Kya no! Not now

Ooo so you plan for the future

If she was in front of me I would want to smack her. I growled and heard him walk. I heard a door shut, he went to the bathroom. I heard the shower go on and I sighed.

I know you know you want to join him. Even though you can't see you would want to be in the presence of our mate naked. She purred.

Why are you so horny?!

No reason. I just think it's fair. He saw you naked you should be in his presence when he is-

Shut up! I walked to the bed, sitting back on it and rubbing circles on my temples. I heard him curse and my head shot up. I shuffled over to the bathroom door.

"Ryder? Are you ok?" I heard the shower go off and he groaned.

"I forgot my towel, its on the bed"

"D-do you want me to get it?" It was maybe a few seconds until I got a response.

"Yes" his voice was low. I went back over to the bed, searching for the towel. I managed to grab it and steadily walked back to the bathroom. He opened the door and my face immediately turned red.

"Y-your towel" I squeaked out making him grunt. He snatched it out by hands and then walked past me.

Approval rate...over infinity!! Kya was jumping around making me mentally groan. Ryder went through a drawer and I heard him getting dressed. He then stopped for a moment, his heart rate slowing. It was like that for a few minutes. "Ryder? Everything okay?"

He didn't respond at first, then he let out a curse and rushed. I then felt a piece of clothing hit me in the face. "Put this on. We need to go now" I felt around feeling it was sweatpants and slightly blushed.

"What's wrong?" I said slipping into them and pulling the waist band.

"Someone near the borders of the pack was murdered, there seems to be rouge activity" I stifled a gasp and then he grabbed my wrist pulling on me. I stopped dead in my tracks.

"I-I don't think I can g-go with you"

"Emerald don't be stubborn we need to go. Now" his grip tightened making me whimper as he led me through the pack house.  I almost tripped a few times, catching myself, trying to keep up with his movements. "Oh cmon" I then felt him pick me up bridal style making me shriek and he started to run.

"Hey put me down!" I slapped him on his bare chest and he grunted mumbling something. I sniffed the air as he put me down smelling wolves they all seemed to be of a heart that rank. Then blood. I whimpered smelling it and a man approached us.

"Alpha, June Anderson. She had a Mate, Louis Anderson and 2 kids. No one survived except the toddler. It seemed as if four rouges were present. There was a note left by the adults and eldest son's body" I heard a piece of paper being snatched away from the mans hand and into Ryder's who read it.

"The gleaming shade of green
The shallow shade of red
For soon poor Emerald
Will be dead" I froze.

"Is the note signed?" I whispered a bit, my voice small.

Ryder growled. "J.C . Emerald who is that? I want to know now!" He barked. I whimpered again and my head was low.

"Jarl...Jaces father"

"Your stepfather?" I nodded feeling tears stream down my face.

"The man who spoke through his letters in riddles.."
