She Doesn T Care
Delphi's POV I held the knife tighter in my hand and pressed it against the big man's neck, getting ready to mutilate him if needed."I'll ask you one more time- Who sent you?" I demanded. I was taken aback when none of them even tried to attack me or struggle their group member free. I could've taken all of them but he didn't even try to attempt to get out of my hold.I had taken a wild guess of who the leader was, but after their reaction I was not so sure of my judgement. The way they stood calmly made me question my earlier prediction."Luna, this isn't you it looks like." The one to the right stated, trying the diplomatic path."I am not your Luna. Don't talk bullshit to me, who are you? And what do you want?" I spat, my grip on the man below me was slipping, he could easily get out of the hold if he wanted to. His weight was definitely an advantage. "Delphi?" I heard someone's voice call out to me from behind. I recognised that voice to be Caleb's but didn't turn around. "Who are these people?" He questioned coming beside me, trying to sunder him from my hold. " I don't know. I just noticed that they have been following me for a while." I muttered smoothening my skirt. Caleb had held the man in a tight grip, from which now he had started to struggle against.His reaction to Caleb's hold was much different from what it was to to mine. He was actually struggling against the hold and succeeding. Seeing his actions made me even more dubious. He could've taken me down if only he had tried. I got his scent before I saw him, he was walking with purpose towards us making me frown. "Sylvester?" I breathed out, his stride made him even more attractive to me, he had a serious look on his face that meant business. I put the blame for the increase in my heartbeat on the fact that I had not seen him in quite a few days and my body remembered that.
Now is not the time, Delphi. I muttered to my own self. The physical attraction between us would eventually be impossible to resist, to me it was already feeling like it. "Let my men go, Alpha Caleb." He ordered snaring at a confused Caleb.
"You sent men after your mate?" Caleb spoke again. "Who does that?"
Sylvester didn't pay attention to him and looked at his men now standing in a line with their heads bent in-front of their Alpha. "You can leave now, wait for me in the pack house. There is some instructions to be given." His voice was heavy and held a reprimanding tone. After they gave him a small bow they left and Sylvester turned to me."I need to talk to you alone. It's important." I took time to analyse his expression, and it made me reach to a conclusion that it was indeed urgent. He was not fooling around, behind his professionalism I saw the concern. It made me wary of what was to come. "Whatever you have to say, you can in-front of me." Caleb continued standing with me. I was grateful for his support but I was safe with Sylvester there was no question about it. He would without a doubt do everything he could to keep me safe. I knew that much. Before the two men could start a growling battle again, I stepped forward. "Caleb, I'll talk to you tomorrow, okay? There is something he needs to say and perhaps I will regret my following actions but I have to meet him alone. Tell Lola I'm sorry to have ditched her." I put my hand on Caleb's chest and gave him a meaningful look. "If you say so, take care of yourself, Delphi." He whispered and shot one look at Sylvester. I didn't have to turn around to know what Sylvester's mood was. He was angry, I could feel his wolf circling right at his control. Calm mate, calm mate. Lyra chanted in my head and took control of my actions. Before I could understand the consequences of my doings my hands were on Sylvester's face, trying to calm him down. "What is it that you wanted for me to know, Sylvester?" I asked, looking straight into his grey eyes that were lighter now. "Not here. Let's go to the pack house, I'll explain everything." He gestured for me to follow him. "Why can't you tell me now?" I demanded getting a hold of his arm, ignoring the sparks, I continued my interrogation. "Why were your people following me, Sylvester?" My neutral reaction to it all was rather confusing. He had men keeping an eye on me, but I was giving him a benefit of doubt for some reason. "Delphi, please, let's go to the pack house. There is a lot I've to explain." He tried once again. But I had reached my limit of empathising. "No. Why should I?" I exasperated, much to my wolf's dismay. She wanted nothing else but to go to him.
"Someone is after you, Delphi." That shut me up. Seeing my lack of response he walked towards his car with me in tow. He opened the passengers seat and gestured me to get in. While I was more than capable of opening the door myself, it felt nice to have someone to want to do it for me. The ride to the pack house was quiet as I looked outside the window and feared the inevitable. The last time I had been in the car had been a difficult time and I made sure not to thing about that too much. We went inside the pack house and came face to face with the three men that were instructed to follow me. They were all standing in the same order. It looked like they were more disappointed in themselves than he was.
"I'll see you all tomorrow. Do as you were instructed earlier." Sylvester spoke in his Alpha voice, displeasure coating his ever word. I would be scared if I were them. "Come with me." He told me to follow him upstairs.
"Whoa, okay. I'm not going inside your room. That is a big no." I shook my head seeing him push open a mahogany door. "Don't worry yourself, though I want nothing else but for you to be in my room, we have serious matters to discuss. It's my office." Sylvester's husky voice sent my wolf to a frenzy and me quite close to it. He sat beside me on the office sofa and turned to face me, the close proximity caught me by surprise. "I got a message from an unknown number yesterday, Delphi." He started, the seriousness on his face alerted me. "It was a message threatening you. Now, I'm not so stupid to believe in a random message. I want you to know everything and that is why I am disclosing this to you. This is not to be repeated, Delphi. Not to anyone." I nodded at him with utmost sincerity, "The pack borders were breached yesterday just before I received the message. Not only that, this morning somebody left this at the door." He stated thrusting a bunch of pictures my way. I hadn't even noticed them in his hand before. The pictures were of me everywhere, in my room, in the car, the cottage; everywhere. And though I believe someone could zoom in and capture pictures, the pictures looked to have been taken from a very close angle. The pictures continued to confirm the severity of the situation. My hands shook as I slowly put two and two together. I wanted to deny such a scenario could ever arise. "I didn't know what to do, so I sent some of my men to be around you. Now, I know you can-" before he could finish, I hugged him. His closeness and worry for me was too overwhelming with the current circumstances in hand.I needed to feel his presence, the safety. I needed to believe they couldn't get me. I felt tears running down my cheek, knowing that I had run out of time.
He didn't say anything more but simply comforted me. "Thank you, Sylvester." I murmured into his chest. It had been so long since I had someone else worry about the monsters of my past, I had forgotten how much I needed that support.
He had changed or perhaps he had always been this way and I was too indifferent to notice. He had emotions that could not be faked, the concern in his eyes. Moreover, the fear.
I had hidden so many things to say but I didn't know how. "I'll not let them get you, Delphi. Don't think about it." Sylvester whispered in my ear, caressing my hair slowly. It calmed the storm in my heart by a fraction. He didn't know what he was dealing with. He didn't know what he was trying to protect me from.
And he deserved to know. For some reason, I felt the need to confide in him.
Shouldn't I?**********
