Saving Her From Herself

Chapter 7

*Theo POV*

I visit my dad like I do every second day.

"Theo the gossip is……."

"Dad enough, you have issues, what person at your age is so into gossip?"

"It is important to know what is going on"

"But most of it isn't even factual it is just nonsense"

"But in the middle of nonsense is truth, how else are we meant to know about other packs?"

"What do they say about us? Does everyone know we have a weak alpha?"

"No as we have such a strong Beta that cleans up all messes so word never gets out"

"Are you saying I should not pick up the slack?"

“Of course not, do you want us to fall?"

"Okay as long as everyone thinks our alpha is great"

"Theo you can't be jealous, do you really want to be the Alpha?"

"Well not really, but it just annoys me that Dean the useless i***t gets to be it"

"Stop with unhappy thoughts, what has happened with that girl?"

"Nothing dad, I just have to wait and even then, probably nothing"

"Come eat some food"

Dad is a feeder, any problem, eat some food. Sad, eat. Happy, eat. Your mouth is empty, eat. Jason links me

'Theo, I got news of the next fight venue, it is in 2 days'

'I will come to see you soon'

"Dad I might get to meet her, hopefully she walks willingly into my trap"

"Theo, you have no idea how to chase girls, they like sweetness and kindness, well until it is time for bed"

"Dad……. First of all, shut up……….she is unlike other girls, the same tactics won't work, I just have to go with instinct"

"And then what do you plan to do with her?"

"I haven't got that far yet, I just want to understand"

He smiles as he starts serving food.

"Eat"

I roll my eyes but start eating, lucky I have a good metabolism otherwise I would be so fat growing up in this house.

I find out the details of the fight. 2 days later I get in my car and drive. I never tell the alpha when I leave, I have an apartment off pack lands that I stay at often when I can't stand being in the same building as him, as long as I can get back to protect the pack if the need arises, he doesn't care.

I drive to a completely new city this time. I pull up just before the fights are due to start. I get out of the car and walk towards the venue, as I go to pay the entrance fee the security guard studies me.

"It's you"

"Whats me?"

I look at him in confusion.

"A little girl gave me a note to give to you"

The corner of my lips twist up. He digs around in his pocket and pulls out a note and hands it to me. Written on the top piece of folded paper is.

"Blue eyed god?"

"That is how she described you"

"What else did she say, why didn't she see me herself?"

"She said she is scared, you don't beat up the little girl do you?"

"No, she is my mate, she is just scared of the mating mark"

He raises his eyebrows.

"Really, if someone as handsome as you has trouble marking a mate, what hope is there for the rest of us?"

I nod. It was a total lie but I don't want these guys to think I'm actually chasing her down to beat her up. He continues.

"You are a lucky man, she is quite the little looker, she has plump little lips, she gave me a kiss on the cheek and I swear I nearly blew my load"

The other security guard hits him on the back of the head.

"You can't say that about someone's mate"

"Why not, hopefully my mate's going to be stunning"

"If she was stunning should reject your dumb ass"

"That hurts"

I leave them to their pointless conversation. My mind full of plump little lips.

I open the note and read.

'Beauty does not bring immunity,

Give me my money,

Thief'

I laugh. My interest only grows.

I scan the area, I have a feeling she is watching me. I scan the ground but that doesn't feel right. I can't imagine she is one to stick to norms, I scan the rooftops until I feel her burning gaze.

Okay you sneaky little ninja. I will play your game. I pull her stack of cash out of my pocket in a mocking way, fan in my face with the notes. I make the signals for her to come walking to me and I'll give her the money.

I know my chances are slim to none but it's worth a shot anyway.

I laugh as I see a large pebble come hurtling towards my face, her strength and accuracy is very impressive. But the best bit is I know exactly where she is now I just had a general idea before.

I catch the rock at the very last second turning it into powder with my fist. I shake my finger.

No no no naughty little girl I'm not that easy to get rid of.

I put my fist up to my lips opening my hand in front of my face and blowing gently letting the cloud of rock dust below out into the air.

I store the money back in my pocket. I go from 0 to 100, she is not hugely far away but she is quick I have a lot of ground to make up, I run to the base of the building she is on and launch myself up grab the first balcony use the momentum in to propel myself up the five stories before landing swiftly on the roof.

Of course she has well and truly gone by now but I pick up her scent and follow her. A chase over the rooftops is something I've never experienced before but it is quite a rush of adrenaline. Finally I catch a single glance at a mess of long beautiful golden hair streaming out behind the little figure of her.

It was only a split second she is that agile and that quick.

Finally after a workout through the night the rooftops start to thin out. She stops, her scent fills up the area.

"J why are you running from me?"

No answer as expected, what the security guard says runs through my head.

"Are you scared of me?"

I can't imagine her being scared of anyone, but she is so flighty and mysterious.

"No I am not scared of you"

My heart leaps through my chest. Even though her voice is echoing and distorted it is definitely angelic.

"That is good then, I promise I mean you know harm, I don't have bad intentions, I am not a creep even though I am starting to feel like one, I just felt something different when I looked in your eyes"

I pause. I am not sure what else to say.

"Hopefully one day you will come to me, my name is Theo by the way, even though I like your name for me, it's very original"

I hope she will come to me, I don't want to actually force her. I heard her speak and saw a glimpse, so it was a fruitful night. I bend down put a tiny stack of cash in the ground, since she didn't fight I know she is not getting a pay day, but if I hold the rest of the cash hostage to try and lure her to me. I take a couple of steps and turn back

"Bye J"

I launch myself down the 7 stories landing smoothly, shoving my hands in my pockets and walking back toward my car.
