Chapter 10

:Tanner/ Darcy

I could only assume that Nel gave him this number and I was confident that he couldn’t be tracking this number because I made it untraceable. The fact that he called me let me know he had accepted what I had shown him which meant  he could be on my side if this shit hit the fan which I hope it doesn’t because I don’t want to get Sophia mixed up in all this.  ‘What do I owe the honor of such a pleasure  Darcy?’

‘don’t be snide with me Hybrid.’ He growled out to me with a slight accent. Being a prince he wasnt use to being treated as such but I didn’t care about formalities.  ‘Or should I say Joel. Yes I know about you I did some research on you moments ago. Why did you take Sophia away?’ he answered with a deep growl.

‘its Tanner to you I don’t go by Joel anymore. And why should I tell you why I took the girl?’

‘is she ok?’ he asked with a sigh. ‘is Sophia ok there? She’s not getting picked on or anything right? Is she fine there?’ he demanded sounding like he was trying to sooth his wolf.

‘she’s doing great here she’s liking it here.’ I answered with a smile. ‘she’s using my room for now sense she didn’t like the one I gave her, the men respect her because I warned them and the woman well they haven’t meet her yet but they will in time. We’re not as harsh as a pack to different people, we have humans here to so they understand her situation at the moment.’

‘good, and the video player you gave me’ he paused. ‘my sisters in it. why is my sister in that video why did you record that with my sister in it’ he demanded roughly.

‘Because she helped’  I answered with a simple sigh. I wasn’t going to go into details about how it had been his sisters idea to even record the interrogations. It had been her idea to go after those men. It had all been her plan not mine I could of cared less.

‘don’t lie to me my sister hates violence’ he whispered in a low voice in a vain attempt to deny what was in plain sight

‘we never forced her to do things that she wasn’t comfortable in doing Darcy. She did everything on her own accord. I never once asked her to be in the room as I got the information out. She had requested to be in the rooms no one forced her’ I answered soberly.

‘I don’t understand why do they think you stole my sister if she’s there on her own accord. She wouldn’t just leave the palace for nothing she’s only been out a handful of times…’ he growled out to me.  giving a sigh I combed my hand through my hair this guy, was getting on my nerves with all these little questions.

‘because’ I paused to gather my thoughts. ‘because she knew there was no other way to be with her mate’

‘she would of told me.’ he growled in a snappy reply that almost scared me...almost.

‘she couldn’t when she knew you and your family would of rejected the idea of her being with the male. Sense she’s seen it happen before she didn’t want to go through that so she snuck out and met up with him. From there she was brought here to live with us.’ I answered with a heavy sigh. ‘she did what she thought was right to be with her mate, we never stole her I have-I mean we have no need for a princess.’

‘Annabel’ love and tenderness filled his voice. It was the name of his promised. The Princess of the South Kingdom that went missing eight years ago or so the legend said. ‘It wasn’t a rejection that happened. It was a lie her supposed mate had a witch put a spell on her to make her think that it was she never met her mate she never had a mate.’ he answered in a growl. ‘she was mine that’s why her parents made it happen, that and the fact that our union of marriage would of brought the two Kingdoms together.’

‘Tanner…I have to pee’ Sophia whined as she  knocked on the door a couple of times.

‘I have to go, we’ll finish another time’ hanging up I unlocked the door as she slid in past me slamming the door as I slid out I rolled my eyes and tossed the phone down.

**

‘so who was on the phone?’ grunting I glanced over at her as she sprawled out on the bed her long locks of hair falling into her face as she rolled onto her side and propped her head up with her slender hand. Smiling at her I shrugged as I glanced down at the papers in my hands. Shifting through them I gave a sigh.

Would Darcy help if all hell broke loss? Would he help protect and keep Sophia away from Zachary her cold hearted mate who doesn’t deserve her. There was so many what if’s and so many scenarios that were running through my head that made me want to stop thinking all together as I looked back at her.

‘a business partner we had to talk about plans for something important coming up’ I lied  to her quickly with a great full sigh when she nodded in agreement .

‘my Alpha, Drake  use to lock himself in his study doing things like that ranging from bills to new building ideas for the pack houses , I would always have to bring him his lunches and things like that because he was always to tied up to come down for lunch.’ She gave a little sigh. ‘Tanner?’ grunting as I looked back up at her from the newspaper she rolled off and walked to me. ‘can you turn the heat up its cold’ standing on the heater I watched her as she curled up on it slightly shaking  her hands trembling as she suddenly sat up and moved to the head of the bed with blankets covering her trembling body. The shakes started from her shoulders and worked down racking her body making her teeth chatter together. Fear clenched me as I shot up to her.

‘is this what it was last time?’ nodding she bit her lip kneeling on the bed I pulled her to me her body shaking under my hands as I quickly pressed my lips to hers. Maybe if I distracted her enough to forget about Zachary she’ll get better. Wrapping my arms tightly around her I moved my lips against hers feeling the shakes slowly fade away into a slight barley noticeable tremor.

Sighing softly when she finally pulled away from me she rested her head on my chest her hands curled into fists. Groaning she looked up at me. ‘I hate how I get, I don’t like it its scary Tanner…whats wrong with me?’

‘so you don’t like how I make you feel?’ I teased lightly making her look up at me with a frown shaking her head from side to side with a worried look in her eyes. Her hands shaking slightly as she gave a huff.

‘I don’t hate how you make me feel…I like it-its umm… well…um…’ she muttered softly as she gave me a kiss shyly brushing her sweet lips against mine ‘I just don’t like how cold I get’ she answered as she smiled at me. ‘I like your kisses’ blushing she quickly looked down.

‘Sophia?’ I whispered to her with a smile.

Grunting I watched her bury her face into my chest her cheeks warm . ‘I like how you smell Tanner’

Running my fingers through her hair. ‘Sophia look at me please’

Groaning she looked up at me. ‘what is it? Did I do something wrong?’  she tensed in my arms as she threw her arms around my neck locking them she pulled herself up and crushed her lips to mine making me groan against her warmth as she managed to hook a leg around my hip. Blinking I watched as her eyes closed she moved her lips against mine softly her tongue being daring as it flickered over my bottom lip.

‘Sophia’  I gave a little groan of pleasure. This girl…this…little human was playing with fire as she daringly nibbled on my bottom lip for a second. Feeling myself almost grinding  against  her I locked myself up trying to control myself as she looked into my eyes with a  smile twinkling in them.

Grunting she pulled back blushing as she continued to brush her lips over mine. ‘yes?’ she asked with a whispery laugh.

Shrugging I kissed her once, twice feeling her tighten her hold she pressed closer. I couldn’t understand how she knew how to get her body this close to mine. Hell I didn’t even understand how a virgin knew how to get into this position. Hooking her other leg around me I smoothed my hands down her back cupping her cute butt in my hands making her give a startled little laugh as I tackled her back into the bed. Grabbing a pillow with one hand I used the other to prop myself up as I slid it under her head. Sophia’s body felt right against mine I  liked how she pressed her hips up slightly trying to get closer to me as she gave little whimpers of need. How her legs tightened around me till she pressed her warm core against the bulge in my pants.

The sound almost like music as I let her kiss my neck sending shivers down my spine as I found myself pinned down under her with her straddling my waist her hands flat out on my chest as she wiggled around for a second before giving a little puff of air. . ‘I’m doing this right aren’t I?’ she muttered nervously as she shifted on my waist till she had found herself  gasping with a glanced down at me with a nervous smile she bit her lip as she settled her cute butt on my bulge. I didn’t know if I could take any more of this. Her fingers trailed over my chest making me give a little whimper. How long could I control myself with her acting this way to me?

Nodding to her she leaned down and kissed me. Her hair falling like curtains on either side of my head.

**

Groaning softly I gave a startled yelp when she nipped at my shoulder her teeth testing the skin as she glanced up at me. rolling over I pinned her down burying my face into her neck I flicked my tongue along the sensitive spot making her tug at my hair with a little whimper. Growling against her skin she squirmed with a little giggle making me growl again.

Glancing down I quickly pulled myself away from her when I found her hands at the zipper to my pants. ‘No’

Frowning she reached for me. pushing her hands away I shake my head.

‘Sophia don’t’ I whispered as I held her hands in mine.

Frowning she looked down. ‘I did something wrong didn’t I?’ she tensed with a frown. Shaking my head I sighed.

‘its not that Sophia…its just…well I don’t want to go to far. What I want, isn’t something you can take back after its been done.’ I whispered softly. ‘I don’t want you to end up regretting going to far so soon. Things like this Sophia’ I sighed. ‘we shouldn’t do till you know what I’m talking about’

Biting her lip she shrugged. ‘I don’t have a choice do I?’ shaking my head she nodded. ‘I um…I think I peed my pants’ she blushed as she went to leave.

Smiling I grinned at her. ‘that’s not pee’

‘then what is it…why…why is it umm…wet?’ she tensed with a frown. I groaned inwardly hadn’t she taken like health class or something?

‘it means…shit…that you…that your ready for me to take you’ I blushed as I said it feeling like a total dork saying it…it sounded better in my head when I had thought of it.

‘ready to take what?’ she frowned at me with curiosity in her eyes.

‘remember when you walked in on Ben and his girlfriend?’ nodding she waited. ‘in that kind of way’

Blushing her eyes widened as she glanced down at my crotch. ‘you mean…umm…like attack me?’

‘I wouldn’t attack you’ I sighed softly out in frustration I wished she would understand without me having to go into details. ‘its not attacking sweetheart. Do you remember how I made you feel seconds ago?’ nodding I licked my lips. ‘remember how I made you feel good?’ nodding again I smile. ‘I would make you feel ten times that’ her eyes widened as a bright pink colored her cheeks.

‘umm…well…umm…Tanner?’ grunting when she went to pull me back to her she put my hand over her heart. ‘is this normal?’ feeling its rapid beating and fluttering I sighed.

Nodding to her she blushed.

‘why-why does it do that?’ she muttered softly as she held her hand over mine.  ‘I don’t understand why it does that’

‘I guess it means you like me’ I answered with a smile. ‘or that your scared’

‘I’m not scared…you don’t scare me Tanner.’  She shakes her head. ‘I’m not scared anymore…I- I like how you make me feel Tanner.’

‘I like how you make me feel too Sophia.’

‘what do they call…what Ben was doing… I mean there has to be a name’ she suddenly demanded with a determined look in her eyes.

‘some call it making love, other sex. The name varies from person to person’ I answered with a blush.

‘making love? Is there a difference between sex and making of love?’ she asked suddenly a glint of curiosity in her eyes

‘well…um yes…umm… making love its well um when two people love each other and do it…and um sex…it  has no love in it…sort of like a hand shake?’ I muttered with a slight frown. I had no clue how to explain it to her. I had no idea how to tell her these things I mean I didn’t know how to I’d never had a sister…

‘o’ she nodding slowly as she chewed on her bottom lip. ‘um Tanner?’

‘yes?’

‘if-if we um… you know… um what would it be for us?’ she blushed as she let go of my hand.

Tipping her chin up I made her look into my eyes. ‘I would call it making love sweetheart’ I watched a little smile curl her lips as she tried to hide it. ‘and it would never be anything different.’

Nodding with a bashful smile she gave a little huff. ‘I should go take a shower’ stumbling off the bed I watched her walk to the bathroom. Closing the door behind her.

Flopping back with a frustrated groan I rolled onto my stomach. Sophia, how could she be so innocent yet so experienced? And to think that idiot Zachary has her for a mate. The bastard didn’t even appreciate her, here he was cheating on her with another woman. When Sophia was here with me. Yes that sounds hypocritical but Sophia deserved to have a taste of what a mate gets. I knew Zachary wouldn’t see it that way, but I knew she deserved to know. I liked her I knew I did and I knew she had to feel something for me.

Sighing I listened to the sound of the shower go on. Closing my eyes I forced myself to clear my thoughts.

**

‘Sophia?’ groaning she rolled over to face me with sleepy eyes. Chuckling I tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. ‘never mind go back to sleep’

Muttering to me she rolled back onto her stomach and passed back out. Getting out of bed I reached for the phone as it rang.

‘you called?’ I answered knowing who it was.

‘We never finished our conversation Joel’ Darcy huffed with a slight growl to his voice.

‘I told you its Tanner. Only close friends may address me by Joel. Now what is it you want Darcy I have things I have to do’ I answered coldly with a deep sigh.

~

‘you know things. Things that not even the kingdom knows’ I growled with clenched hands.

I wanted to know the truth, I wanted to know why my sister was really there. She didn’t have a mate we knew that from her birth. And what he was saying made no sense at all. ‘I showed you the tapes what more do you need. I have ten witnesses for each of those interrogations, that’s proof enough isn’t that why your talking to me’ he answered with a cocky tone in his voice that made me growl in disgust. And SoSo was with this guy? Was she even safe around him.

Frowning at the thought I pushed it back with a growl.  ‘that’s not what I mean. How did you find these men? How did you even know?’

‘I came across them actually on accident on a rescue mission. They gave my men some trouble so we took them with us for questioning not all werewolfs carry around a witch that’s tied up to a cross with a silver stake through their heart’ he answered sarcastically.

Growling I clenched my hands. ‘you mean they killed the witch after what they did?’ my breath faltered as my heart puttered.

‘they had to tie up the loose ends Darcy not everyone as merciful as the king is. People die for no reason but the witch had it coming. The spell they placed on Annabel, who conveniently went missing. All the pieces were right there and no one noticed them. Not once.’ He scoffed.

‘I cant really say I agree with what you have to say but how could the rouges of gotten that close to the King and Queen with the royal guards around them?’ I asked curiously.

‘easy. They sent in the hybrids then the strongest went in for the kill like lambs for the slaughter’ he answered with a pause. ‘ I have to go’ click…and that was it the call ended. Huffing I shut my phone off and stood up. Pacing slowly I felt like a caged animal.
