Chapter 27:

At The Cabin

Beasted


The crazy lady was ready to tase Patty with the taser as she stretched it in her direction. Romulus could just watch, what was enfolding in front of him. Patty dodged that woman's attempt. With her left hand blocked that taser and with her right she took out the branch out of her coat and hit her hard across the face. The woman fell backward hard on the ground. She was knocked out for a short time.

Patty took the chance to release Romulus. She helped herself to a knife, which she found on one of the dead military guys. She grabbed the steamy hot net and began to cut it open to free Romulus. As she was done he looked up to her and then to her burned shaky hands.

The crazy woman came back to her consciousness. "W-who, are y-you?" Patty kept her silence. The woman crawled closer, reached out, and grabbed Patty by her coat, making her hood slide down revealing her long brown hair. She was still with her back towards the woman, so she didn't see Patty's face. Romulus growled at the woman.

He collected some energy to lay his face into Patty's palms and then slowly hugged her in his arms. Patty leaned her forehead on his. Jealousy overflown that woman's body. "He is MINE! I will find you and KILL YOU!" Those words awoke Romulus's energy and decided then and there to kill her on the spot. He wanted to get rid of his trauma for good.

He stood up and wobbled towards her. She scrambled back. As Romulus was raising his claws at her, glaring her down a shot into the trunk of a tree next to his head interrupted his action. He saw more military men running at fast speed towards them. He chose to pick up Patty and ran with her into the safety of the forest. On the way, he was losing his strength fast. Both were supporting each other fleeing, but the persecutors were still gaining on them.

Finally, Zeev appeared shocked and angry at Romulus. Viciously growling at him. He could smell the scent of human blood... Patty's blood. Patty stopped him in his tantrum and pleaded to carry Romulus to the cabin. He sighed heavily and took Romulus on his back. Patty ran behind him, now they were losing the army men.

As they reached the cliff, Zeev wanted to bring Patty as first up there, but she denied it and pushed him to jump up with the wounded Romulus first. He looked at her for a second and knew she was stubborn. It took him five minutes, till he came back at the last minute. The flashes of the military men were piercing through the forest starting to illuminate the position of Patty.

He grabbed her into his arms and jumped up. Luckily the dense forest didn't allow snow to build up yet, so no tracks to follow. On the top of the cliff, they were watching them spreading under and around them in the forest. Zeev pushed her into the cabin and shut the door behind them turning into his human form.

He wished to hug her, but she ran past him for tending Romulus's wounds. Jealousy started to eat on him. He pulled her away from Romulus. She didn't understand. "What? Why are you doing this?" He caught up in his weird behavior. "I... I don't think he needs that much attention." She stretched out her left arm. "Look at him, he is greatly wounded."

He pulled his hands away from her, fidgeting with his fingers. She hugged him. "Don't worry. For Romulus, I am some kind of motherly figure," she whispered gently. Romulus awoke by this time. "Well, I would prefer you more for a mate, than a mother." Zeev stood there silent, immediately shot him a firely green-blue-eyed glare. Romulus didn't hesitate to do the same while sitting up.

He grabbed Patty away from Zeeve's arms into his, sitting her down in his lap wrapping her tight around, growling. Zeev turned into a werewolf and attempted to grab her back. Patty couldn't stand it. "I am not a tug toy!" She escaped Romulus's arms.

"I thank you for your affection and for expressing your honest feelings, but I love Zeev. And I understand you feel so, just because I am the first female, who showed you some genuine affection. Don't worry, when you get to know more women or werewolf females, you will shift your attention. Right now, you feel so, because you are in great need of it and I am the only one available right now."

Romulus began to sulk. "It's not like that... It's true, you are the first to show me affection, but I am sure, my feelings for you are real. I was hurt more, when I saw you getting hurt, than me. I was mortified, when you fought against that b*tch, but seeing you standing up for me, made me fall even more for you. You were my savior... my goddess... I wish to belong only to you." He took her hand into his and kissed it.

Zeev grew more and more angry. "Enough!" He left the room in a hurry. Patty scratched her head with both of her hands confused about what to do next. Looking back and forth. "I am sorry, I do like you, but I still love Zeev. Please accept it." Romulus sighed and laid down in bed. She was tending to his wounds, but he kept his mouth shut. He was hurt deep inside his heart.

After she was done, she went to apologize to Zeev. He was sitting at the table facing away from her and keeping silent. Patty stepped to him and kissed his lips in the moonshine.
