James POV.
“And who are you?” I ask the guy, he’s a handsome wolf, but now standing in his human form, he’s one hell of a hot guy.
“I’m your prince in shining armor,” the guy answers me, he too had the sass.
“Oh dear prince, how are you going to save me?” I ask him, he had no car, and he’s running with the girl sitting on his back.
“We’ll get another car,” he says, so his very smart idea is to get a car and try to get away? He thinks that the vampires are going to let us alone? They saw them, and they know me, they’re not going to let us go, we’re all as good as dead.
“And where we’ll get that one? It’s a stupid plan,” I warn them.
“Better than staying here for the dead, we’ll get a car, ditch town, leave the car behind, get another one, and keep moving, finally we’ll take a bus to our home and have dinner with the family,” he says.
“You really thought this through?” I ask him, it’s an idea, that if we could pull it up and hide from the vampires, they wouldn’t know where to find us, an alpha always fall with his pack, for me to run, it’s a one hell of a move, but what else do I have to stay for?
“I’m in, but where do we get the said car?” I ask him, I didn’t have one and they knew our cars, it’s why I didn’t bother to take any of them.
“We’ll go back to the station, ours is ruined, but we can pick one up,” he says.
“You mean hijack a car?” I ask him with a raised brow.
“Call that if you want, I call it borrowing without permission,” the guy answers me, I kind of liked him now.
“It’s breaking the law,” the girl whines.
“It’s staying alive,” the guy answers her, she pouted but he ignored it, it’s a weird relation they have, wolves should do anything and everything for their soul, but all he’s doing is fighting with her, I didn’t agree with that, I wanted to smack him and tell him to be nice, she’s nothing but a baby, she looks young and acts young.
“Fine,” she whines, a big pout on her lips.
We left the wood and I guided them back toward the town, I showed them the way, the guy was terrible with knowing our roads, when we made it there we had to pick a car to steal, I’m familiar with locals, but they don’t know me that well, we prefer to keep to ourselves mostly, and since I was always busy being the alpha, I didn’t have much time to socialize.
“Which car do we pick thief master?” I ask the guy, I didn’t learn their names yet, but I liked them, well I liked her, but him, I’d like to fuck him and maybe save his number for lonely and horny nights, it’s weird how I was feeling toward them two.
“We need to pick a quick car, we need to get out of here fast,” the thief says.
“Have you done this before?” I ask him.
“Yes, I did,” he answers me, at least I know we’re in good hands,
“When?” the girl asks him confused.
“We’ll talk about it after we get the car,” he answers her.
He looked around the street and then he picked a car, he decided on one, it’s not that new or old, it’s a sport cart which means it’s very fast, he stood near the door and took out a pocket knife, it took him a minute, a full minute to open the door, we both got in and he wire turned it on, he started to drive out of my town, the one I’m used to, the one that I called home for so long, I sighed in relief, I was very happy to be out, I don’t know how long I would last hiding every night, and running.
“So are you two going to tell me your names?” I ask them.
“I’m Stella,” the girl says happily, she’s very excited about this whole thing, must be her first time running and stealing a car.
“And him?” I ask her when he doesn’t give me a name.
“He’s Theo,” she says.
“So, Milo sent you both?” I ask, and the guy, Theo, he just smirks, while she looked guilty.
“You did something you shouldn’t have done?” I ask her, she looks at me with her cheeks turning red, giving me my answer.
“He never sent you, didn’t he?” I say, they have sneaked out and came over, but how did they know about me? Is Milo walking around and telling people around me?
“We’re…we’re…” she says stuttering not sure what to say anymore.
“We’re here for Milo, he’s moping and sad over your death, so we decided to play nice and come save you, so either say thank you or shut up,” Theo says in a cold voice, I had a feeling that’s his regular voice, always being mean, always being evil.
“Thank you for saving me, I’ll make sure to save you from Milo if we survive the ride back home,” I assure them, even if they did save me, Milo is going to skin them alive for doing this, putting themselves in danger like this.
“We’re going to survive the ride back,” Theo says between gritted teeth, he’s driving like a crazy person, eyes forward and backwards, no body was following us, they didn’t know we made it out yet.
“We trust you Theo,” Stella encourages him, how nice of her, how sweet of her really.
“I hope we do Theo, because I like staying alive,” I say, I wanted to stay alive long enough to have a longer chat with her, and maybe a night with him, and the beat Milo’s ass for telling people my business.
“Theo,” we’re an hour into our drive and the princess was jittering in her seat, she keeps looking at him with worry filling her eyes, does he scare her? She looks scared, I don’t know what their dynamic is like, and so I stayed quiet.
“Yes?” he says between gritted teeth.
“I need to pee,” she whines, so that’s what all the dancing she’s doing in her seat, she needs to pee.
“We can’t stop, we need to keep going,” Theo says and she looks ready to cry, she can’t wait until we get to the next town.
“Stop the car, Theo,” I order him.
“No,” Theo answers in the same cold voice.
“Theo, stop the fucking car, now,” I order him in a firmer voice, he turned to me with a growl, I’m not his alpha, but I’m an alpha, and I outrank him, he has to obey me, whether he likes it or not, he has to stop now.
“There’s no restroom around,” he says with a shrug.
“Just stop, she can go behind a tree or a bush,” I say, I don’t want her to have an accident, I don’t know how well she does when she needs the bathroom.
“Fine,” Theo says in a cold voice, he wasn’t too happy about it, but he stopped the car and I waited for him to help her, or maybe get out of the car with her, he should do something.
“Theo,” I say but he stayed in his place, he didn’t bother to get out or do anything, I opened my door and then turned to hers, I helped her out of the door, and walked her to behind a tree.
“Just do it,” I encourage her, going to the other side, giving her some kind of privacy, as much as possible.
“Can you not listen,” she yells.
“I’m not,” I assure her, well I was trying not to.
It took her a couple of minutes before she was done, I guess she got bladder-shy, when she finally finished, we joined the mad Theo back in the car, he still had the same pout on his face.
“You’re not my alpha, so don’t you dare use that voice on me again. I’m doing you a solid coming to save your ass,” Theo informs me in a hard voice.
“Fine, I won’t be your alpha, thank you for saving me,” I say matching his tone, the princess sat in the back finally relaxing.
“Theo, I think Milo is going to kill us,” the princess says after another hour, we made it to town, and we’re going to ditch this car and get another one, well steal another one.
“How so?” I ask her, how does she know if she’s getting killed or not.
“In my head, he’s really, and I mean really mad,” she says sounding scared.
“We’ll make it home by dinner,” Theo assures her, with his driving, we would make it there by dinner, but then the funeral would be tonight under the moon, or maybe tomorrow morning.
“He’ll kill him, but you baby girl, just give him your best kitten eyes, I’m sure he’ll spare you,” I assure her, if need to be, I’ll stand for Milo and won’t allow him to hurt her.
“Maybe we should call him?” she suggests.
“So let me guess this straight, he didn’t send you here, and he’s mad because you came, what do you two mean to him?” I asked them, was he just mad because they disobeyed him? Or was there some other stuff into this?
“I’m his soul,” the girl says, she’s the famous soul he told me about?
“And I’m his mate,” Theo says.
“And how is she out here without him?” I ask them.
“She’s also my soul, we share her,” Theo says, and my mouth falls open, they share her, and they left to save me? Milo is going to kill me, not them.
“Milo is going to kill me,” I groan, it’s not the vampires that are going to be the end of me, it’s going to be those two, and Milo.
“Why don’t you give him your best kitten eyes, I’m sure he’ll let you go,” Theo repeats my words to me, and I growled at him, I don’t like him anymore.
“You two are terrible, all three of us are going to end up dead before the night ends,” I groan.
“He owes us, he wouldn’t dare,” Theo says, right, tell that to his ass, he’s gonna be dead before the night ends.
“Keep telling yourself so,” I say making amends with the fact that there’s no tomorrow, I knew life was short, but didn’t expect it to be this short.
“I’m calling him,” the princess says, she got her phone from Thoe and called him, dead…
