I Give You.. by Shannon Burton (i am malala young readers edition TXT) 📕

As Angel got up I tackled him to the floor and called for Skye to hold him down.While Skye held him down I made him beg for mercy. I listened to Angel's carefree laugh. It filled every corner of the room with light. Angel's smile and happiness became like water to me;detrimental to my survival.

I straddled his waist and looked down at him in all his perfection. Skye released him but we continued to stare at each other.Angel sat up and wrapped his arms around my waist.By then the whole pack was standing in the living room with looks of awe. They had never seen their alpha like this.Angel became uncomfortable with the silence and stood us both up.Ciara ran over to her uncle and begged to be picked up. Angel picked her up and nuzzled her cheek. It was a very sweet moment.

"I'm hungwy untle." Ciara said.

Angel laughed and took her to the kitchen for a snack.I needed time to myself so I headed to my room and crawled into bed.I had been here for a month and I knew there was no way I would be able to find the strength to leave. This house had grown on me and so had everyone that lives in it. But most importantly,Angel.He had gotten under my skin and filled every available corner of my mind. I was overflowing with Angel and I knew that soon nothing else would matter.He had stolen my thoughts and made them all his own.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door and I was torn from thoughts only to find the object of my thoughts walking in.

"Hey,you alright?" Angel asked with concern.

"Yea I'm just thinking."

He laid down on the bed next to me and wrapped his body around me.

"Watchu thinking about sweet heart?

"You. Always you." I said,as I snuggled closer into his warm body.

The week passed uneventfully but the tension could be felt through out the pack. We knew that David was planning something but we didn't know what it was or when it would happen. Angel kept us all close to the house and it soon wore our nerves thin.Tempest hadn't been heard from in days and that was another problem that left us weary.

"Nini can you take us to the lake." Ciara said.She and another little girl named Tahlia wanted to go swimming but Angel felt it was to far from the house. I knew he was right but you just couldn't keep a pack of 20 werewolves in one house together for so long. Things had already started getting ugly between pack members.

"Let me go clear it with your uncle and see what we can do."

Ciara bounced around with enthusiasm and pushed me in the direction of her uncles downstairs office. I knocked lightly on the door and saw Angel talking with Skye.

"Hey is it alright if I take Ciara and Tahlia to the lake for a small swim. I swear we will be careful." I said quickly.

"Niara I am saying yes, but please please be careful." He got up from his desk and caressed my cheek with a feather light touch.I leaned into his caress.

"Go ahead and go. You have 40 minutes. You will also take Gerard."

I nodded and went to gather the girls and Gerard.Gerard was one of the best pack protectors we had.He was lean but deadly.He had blonde hair light brown eyes,and a permanent scowl on his face.Let's just say he isn't always in the best if moods.

When I made it back to the living room the girls and Gerard were standing there ready to go.

"How did you guys know he would say yes??"

"Well the girls came to me and said you went to ask if you all could go to the lake.Angel can't deny you in anything so I told the girls to hurry and get ready. Now here we are." Gerard explained.

I looked at Gerard as if he had lost his marbles.Did Angel really give me all that I wanted? I would put that theory to test later but right now I was ready to get out to the lake.

The rose garden was still as beautiful as the first time I had seen it.When we reached the lake I laid out a blanket under the same tree that I had told Angel my secret. It was warm out today.

Gerard stood by the lake with his back to the forest watching the girls with careful eyes.The girls splashed and had the time of their lives.I pulled out a book and read for a while.Thirty pages later,I looked up to check on the girls and my heart stopped.

I tried to warn him but I was to late.A figure slithered out of the forest behind Gerard and snapped his neck.I screamed for the girls to run but they weren't fast enough.The guy grabbed Ciara and Tahlia and dragged them a few feet from where I stood.

When I met the mans' eyes  I became confused.There was no way that he could be involved in this

"Matt,what in the hell are you doing here?" I questioned.

"Well I wanted to take you out on that date but then a very special somebody offered up something better."  

Doctor Brayden was in on this shit to.

At that exact moment Tempest emerged from the tree line and I knew exactly who that special somebody was.

"Now you have two options bitch.Come with us quietly and we let the little brats go,or we kill them and take you.Your choice." Tempest cackled.

There was never really a choice.I couldn't let those girls die.I knew she would kill me as soon as I surrendered but that was a price that I was willing to pay.

"Let them go and I will come quietly,but you must let them go first."I surrendered.

"Good choice." Doctor Brayden said as he let the girls go.

The girls turned and I told them to run as fast as they could back to the house.Doctor Brayden took a step towards me and bound my hands behind my back.We began walking through the dense Forest.We had been walking for 15 minutes before we reached a dirt road.A black SUV was parked on the dirt road.Doctor Brayden shoved me onto the backseat and shut the door. That is when I heard a beautiful growl. The wolves had come for me.

"Fight them off while I start the car." Tempest yelled at Doctor Brayden.

His eyes grew wide as saucers when he realized that Tempest was going to leave him to die.

Tempest hopped in the front seat and locked the car doors.

Doctor Brayden clawed at the car and yelled.

" You bitch! I did everything you asked of me.." He cried out.

Tempest started the engine and took off down the road. That  moment 5 huge wolves emerged from the forest and tore Brayden to shreds. One of the wolves began chasing the SUV.Angel.I knew it was him because only he possessed eyes that blue.I screamed his name and he ran faster but I knew he wouldn't be able to catch us with Tempest driving like a bat out of hell! Tempest eyes were focused on the road but if I could pull my hands all the way to the front of me I might have a chance. So I began scrunching my body into a ball and pulled my bound hands under my butt.My shoulders were twisted at an odd angle and I almost cried out in pain.My arms reached the bottom of my feet and I pulled my feet through.My hands were now bound in front of me and I took a deep breathe and focused on what I had to do.

"I am going to be so happy when he is all mine again.You have just brainwashed him into thinking he could ever be with someone as broken and as used as you are.I cant wait to see what David does to you." Tempest sneered.

She knew.She knew about David and she was going to deliver me to him in an act of revenge.My anger flared and I knew what I had to do.

I sat forward in my seat and said,"Angel will always be mine.In life and death."

I brought my bound hands around her throat and pulled hard.She used her free hand to claw at my hold on her. I knew  there was a huge possibility that I wouldn't survive this and I had come to terms with that. Tempest began to gasp for air and she released her hold on the steering wheel. It took all of 5 seconds for the SUV to flip.

That pack was my pack.No harm would come to them because of me.I would give my last breathe for them and their beautiful alpha.

When I woke up my head was killing me and everytime I breathed in I felt like I was being kicked.It hurt like hell and I was trying to figure out who in the hell would do this to me.As I woke more I began to remember things and it registered in my mind that I had been in a car accident.When I opened my eyes fully it was dark and warm.Too warm.I tried to push the blanket off of me but I couldn't make it budge.I started feeling around on the bed and my hand met something rock solid.

"Niara please don't do that." A voice whispered huskily.

I knew that voice well so I grabbed tighter.I heard a low groan and giggled.

Angel shifted off the bed and a dim light came on.

"Be good.I know your in a lot of pain." Angel said from across the room.

I admired his beautiful body.He had low slung shorts on and everything else was bare.It turned me on to see his muscular physique and I found myself crawling over to his side of the bed sexily.

"Aaaw come on Angel, I can be good." I pouted sexily.

All I had on was one of his shirts and I knew that it was ntirely see through with the light on.

He gave a low growl and moved towards me.Every part of his body flexed and I became terribly wet.He was so hoy I moaned for him to move faster.When he stood directly in front of me he pushed me down onto the bed so I was lying on my back.

"Were not having sex Niara.You were just in a car accident and I don't wanna hurt you anymore then you already are."

"But Angel.." I wiggled my hips and taunted him.

"No and thats final." He growled.

"Ok so I guess that means your going to leave me
