The Couple novel Chapter 28

Christian

We went to the bar to get something to drink but she is still a bit tense. I wish I can do something to assure I won’t repeat it and caml her down. Damn, I was never in such a situation to calm my girl and release her tension with all the people around us.

She is standing beside me leaning on the bar counter as if she doesn’t want to carry her weight anymore. I pressed against her and pulled her to me and she quickly leaned against me with her head on my chest closing her eyes. I felt her relaxing when the bartender looked at us smirking and served us our drinks.

I tried soothing her while drawing circles with my thumb on her thighs under her skirt as we sat close to each other near the bar. Alicia came to us and took my Heaven away for some girl’s talk and surely I was not invited.

I was talking with Ethan and Ross enjoying remembering our childhood days and how we pranked the whole town all the time. It was then I saw Peter at the bar spiking a drink while he got two drinks. I guess he is planning to take advantage of some girl which won’t happen in my presence. I went to him and ordered a red wine for myself. I started talking to him vaguely about anything. I can see he is completely annoyed with my presence and I love it. I took the spiked wine instead and went away.

I wish I could enjoy the night watching him anxious thinking why his spiked drink is not working on the girl. Just the thought of it was quite entertaining. But no worries, I will enjoy my night between the legs of my Heaven hearing her moans and screams with pleasure.

These human drugs won’t be affecting me much being a werewolf. They will have a really mild effect on us as compared to a human. I will be fine within a half of an hour while she would have been high under its effect for the whole night.

I was entertaining myself with the thought when my eyes suddenly found my Heaven anxious and nervously sipping her drink with her eyes lowered while Harrison was standing close to her and telling her something. Maybe he is threatening how hell her life will be on returning to office.

I made my way to her and put my drink behind Heaven on a counter as I draped my hand around her back and asked her sweetly if she is okay. She kept her gaze lowered while Harrison chose to reply to me instead of her.

“Hey Christian, I know we haven’t been on good terms but I want to tell you something. We have practically grown up together brother.” Realizing he is the reason why my Heaven is so upset and nervous. He still needs a lesson as the last one wasn’t good enough for him.

“Turn around and don’t look back until I ask you to. No matter what you hear, don’t turn back.” I whispered to her, kissed her forehead and waited till she turned around and I faced Harris with a growl.

I grabbed his collar and threatened him to stay away from my Heaven while he was smirking and trying to show me something over his phone. Without seeing, I punched him in his gut and he fell a few steps back. I was about to lunge at him when Peter came in my way and took my next punch. Then, I was grabbed by Ethan and Ross and tried stopping me.

Joseph interrupted in the fight and politely asked Peter to take away Harris. My wolf was in no mood to spare him but all these years, I gained good control over him and threw him back while taking control of myself. He was pulled away by Peter and Victor while I threatened him to stay away from Celia. I will make her shift to my company, she doesn’t need to work for that perverted man anymore. And this time she can’t argue.

Only when he left the house and Victor returned back. I returned to Celia who was drunk by now and crying her eyes with her head lowered laying on the counter in front of her. My eyes went to both the glasses in front of her and realised she drank the remaining of my glass’s spiked drink. Fuck, she is high under the effect of the drug.

I pulled her to me and she hugged me realising it was me. She is sobbing silently hugging me tightly like her life depended on me.

“I'll take her home.” Everyone nodded as I carried her above from the ground in bridal style and took her to my car. I sat her on the passenger side and buckled the seatbelt around when she drew me close to her and sobbed more. I wiped her tears away, watching her cry and wanting me to tear the son of a bitch apart.

I drove my way to a wooden cabin deep inside the woods. There are many cabins built at some distance from one another deep in the forest for newly mated couples. As a newly mated couple, they always need some privacy.

I, Ethan, Grega and Mason have our own private cabins well furnished and decorated by us while other cabins are not owned by anyone in particular and their beddings are changed after each use. They have just one bedroom with a kitchen and two bathrooms and a small hall. They are quite cosy but perfect for the honeymoon period of a newly mated couple.

I used to come here to release my tension and have some time alone here once within a month. I have photographs of my family around the cabin and a few more personal items that I don’t want anyone to see like Olivia’s gifted shirt which everyone thinks I threw away. I know Ethan and Mary still doubt if I actually threw it away.

She was crying and whining all the time in the car. She was holding my hand as she cried and kissed it a few times. She wanted to come to me and actually tried to get up until the seat belt restrained her activity.

I carried her inside and put her on the bed. I got a shirt for her from the closet here, not too many clothes, just a few shirts and pants. I started her getting out of that dress. When she pulled me to sit beside her, got herself up, hugged me and got in my lap crying.

“Please trust me, I also feel the same way. I won’t cheat on you. I won’t hurt you.” She managed to say all of that as she sobbed on my way. I tried comforting her. I rubbed her back, rocked back and fro with her in my lap.

“I want to have your children. I want to marry you, please don’t trust him. I do love you.” I was stunned by her confession although it was a drunk confession but still it sent a relief to my heart. Her confession calmed me down and made me forget everything in the world.
