Chapter 41: Protecting my Chris


    Celia


    I was gaining my consciousness back, when I heard two different rumbling voices. One belonged to


    Harris while I couldn’t make the other one. My head is still spinning and aching too hard. I couldn’t


    make anything of what they were saying or talking about. I just heard themughing in between a few


    times before I fell unconscious again.


    This time I woke up with a ssh of cold water on my face. I felt like drowning that moment and gasped


    for air. It was only then I realised my arms and legs were bonded with the chair I am sitting on and I


    should give them some credit for the tightness of ropes around my arms and legs that I couldn’t even


    shift in my ufortable seat. I looked up at the guy standing in front of me was no one other than


    Harris and the other two standing around me are Peter and Zachary. I think one of them joinedter as


    I heard only two voices before.


    Harris looked exhausted and tired. Now, he had two top buttons opened off his shirt and had messy


    hair as if he had run his hand in them too many or if he just woke up from sleep but he still has this


    devil smirk on his face which is telling me that it is payback time for my failed n.


    My throat was so dry by now that it felt like a desert in there. Speaking was so difficult with this dry


    throat that I just moved my mouth but no sound came out of it. Seeing me helpless at their mercy, all


    threeughed and enjoyed the scene in front of them. And right now I hate this moment that I am so


    helpless in front of them, I feel useless and want to die. This is the situation I wanted to face the least in


    my life.


    Harris stoppedughing and looked at Zachary and Peter with a stern face which made them stop


    with anger at me and disgust for him.


    “Are you bothughing at my sweet fake girlfriend?” He traced the side of my face but I just looked at


    him through my half open eyes. “Are you thirsty? Zach bring water for my girlfriend.”


    And I heard footsteps moving around the space. Then a hand came in view with a ss of water but


    instead taking it near my mouth Harris poured it down my head to face. I gasped for air, I was already a


    bit breathless because being bounded on the chair and my half consciousness.


    “Harris, are you done mocking her? Get done already man, she looks really hot in this dress for her.


    Let’s have our way with her.” It was Peterughing at his own dirty joke to whom Zachary joined with


    his chuckles. But Harris had his stern look continued.


    “You know, I have my eyes for only one girl. She might be hot but nothingpared to her. Wait, she is


    here and we all three will have fun our way.” I shivered on what he said but was more confused about


    the other he was talking about. It seemed like he knew my confusion and exined himself with his evil


    smirk. “She ising here for you and soon will be my girl. She refused my love once but now she will


    have no option. I hope you both will enjoy watching getting fucked.” He pinched my jaw while I looked


    at him in horror because now I know whom he is talking about.


    My suspicions got confirmed as the doorbell to his penthouse rang and echoed in the hall. He went


    over to the security lock and looked at the camera. He looked my way and chuckled. By now, I was


    shivering in fear and guilt of bringing my friend in this danger where not only her life but dignity and


    spiritual belief is at stake. It is all my fault, I pulled her into this deep trough because of my stupidly


    failed n.


    A tear rolled down my cheek as she came into the view, I can see the fear, care, courage in her eyes.


    Now I know I am the stupid who pulled herself and her friend into a threat where they will be


    traumatized for their life. Her eyes remind of Chris and I plead for him toe and save us but I know


    there is no he can be here.


    She came running to me but Harris held her one hand and stopped her mid way from moving too fast


    and just brought her near me at his own pace. She is wriggling in his grip and is trying to get released. I


    thought she is a werewolf too, she should have more strength than this right? Or am I thinking too


    much as I don’t have any information about real werewolves other than those movies, series and


    novels. I should have had that talk with Chris when he disclosed his identity. I should have talked to him


    then.


    “Say hey to your friend honey, where are your manners.” Harris poked Jeanne and tried to humiliate


    both of us. “Thank you so much Celia for bringing her to me.” He smirked and tried kissing the cheek of


    Jeanne at which she sneered. I could see the disgust filled in her eyes the way he called her honey and


    thanked me. I just want to say sorry to her and remind her of the moment I tried to ask for help but we


    both failed. I keep chanting the word sorry to her and Chris.


    “Listen you both bitches, don’t make a huge fuss or after we have our ways with you, you both will see


    the death of each other.” He gritted between his teeth and signaled the two other men present in the


    room. Suddenly, I felt my arms being released and blood rushing back to them in my veins. It was kind


    of relieved but seeing Harris pulling Jeanne away gave me a panic attack.


    “Leave her.” I shouted at him. It was only then I heard my voice back. It sounded more hoarse and filled


    with anger, it didn’t sound like me. I coughed a little as it was too much for my dry throat. He turned


    around and looked at me with a frown.


    “You’re in no position, bitch. Just pray we leave you alive after we’re done.” He spatted on my face and


    I felt a hard p on my cheek while I watched him pulling Jeanne towards his room. I wanted to get up


    and fight for my friend but four hands were holding me back.


    Jeanne was struggling too hard in his arms which earned her a p too. He threw her against the wall


    and yelled in her face. “I thought of keeping your dignity and taking you in my room but you don’t


    deserve it.” He started tearing her clothes while here Iy t on the cold floor and Peter was hovering


    over me and tracing my body with his two fingers. Zach was holding my forearms and I was trying to


    get out those dirty hands.


    I heard some cloth tearing noise and when I turned in the direction of Jeanne, I saw her shirt sleeve


    torn and her arm had bruises. My heart screamed for Chris, it was crying for him and hisfort, I felt


    guilty for hurting him and dragging his sister in all this. I heard some growling from the device used for


    locking and unlocking the private lift for the penthouse.


    I gathered all my courage and kicked Peter in his balls who was removing my silver sandals. I pulled


    my hands forward which made Zachary jerk up and I punched him in the guts. I got up without wasting


    a second and ran for the lock. I stumbled in my way but I made my way limping there. I saw it was Greg


    growling in anger and on fire. I pressed the button immediately to give him to the penthouse. I felt my


    leg pulled and I fell back on the floor with my face down. I started kicking my leg aimlessly but I was


    sessful a few times as I heard a few groans. But soon I was in their clutch and my brave act was


    awarded with a loud p. Jeanne looked my way and by now she was crying. Her shirt buttons were


    opened and Harris was smothering her chest with his kisses like a child who finally got a toy after a lot


    of tantrums.


    It was no longer when Greg made his entry with a loud thud of the door opening. He was fuming in


    anger, my eyes unconsciously went behind him to find Chris but no he is not here. Looking at my


    disappointed eyes, Peter chuckled.


    Peter got up from his squatted position, and went forward to fight Greg but it looks like he is in no mood


    of fighting a child. He punched Peter hard which sent him to the floor. I felt my arms and saw Zachary


    went flying to Greg. He brought Greg to the floor but Greg still got the upper hand and punched him a


    few times until his nose started bleeding.


    I felt a bit relieved but yet annoyed. I dragged my body to a corner with my back to the wall. I was


    feeling pain around my left ankle, I think it got a sprain when I fell while opening the lock for Greg. Peter


    put his hand on Greg’s shoulder and turned him around to meet his punch. I told you Greg was in no


    mood to y with kids, he brought up Peter in the air holding his neck and sent him flying on the ss


    table on which I fell earlier. The ss table went crashing under the weight of Peter.


    Greg was literally growling and Harris was literally pissing in his pants but put up the face of courage


    very well. As soon as he released Jeanne, I made my way to her slowly dragging my body with my


    hands as my left leg made it impossible for me to get up and walk. Greg threw his shirt over Jeanne.


    Now, Greg and Harris are fighting with punches and throws and a few kicks. From far away, it looks like


    Harris is just defending Greg instead of fighting and throwing punches in between. Seeing them


    fighting, anyone can say he is frightened of Greg. I was hugging Jeanne now and we both are crying


    but what hurts my heart more is Chris didn’te to save me, didn’t Tyler tell him the situation? How


    My thoughts were disturbed when I saw a bunch of men entering the penthouse. They all are wearing


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    the the ck suits, and ties. They look like bodyguards but to whom? I watched them running towards


    Greg and Harris who are fighting till now, the smirk on Harris’s face says they all are his men and now


    we all are dead. I don’t really know where that alpha is now? I want to scream for him, call him here


    and ask him to be the protector he said he is to his pack and family.


    Greg is now held back by a few men and now is on his knees with him raging and making deadly


    threats to Harris. Harris punched him in the face. I am just holding Jeanne close to me, Greg looked to


    her and once again tried to get free of hold but with six men holding you down, it is a bit difficult for


    anyone even if you’re a werewolf. I was just praying for a miracle to happen. Harris ordered his men to


    handle Greg and came forward in our direction.


    He squatted down and grabbed Jeanne''s one hand and dragged her in the direction of his room. I was


    trying to stop Harris, I did everything by biting his hand, pping it or kicking him, putting my weight


    over his hand so it became a bit difficult for him to take her away. Each time I did something he threw


    me away or punched me. This time he put his leg over my left ankle and pressed it hard on the floor. I


    gave out a scream with the pain. I was crying and whimpering in pain but didn’t leave Jeanne’s hand.


    I turned my head towards the gate when I heard someone howling. It was Chris. I don''t know if it was


    really a howl or I just imagined it but to me it sounded like he howled like in a tv series. I thanked him


    foring, I don''t know if he is here for me or Jeanne but either way I am happy to see him.


    Seeing my Chris here, filled my heart with love.


    Harris left us and moved in the direction which assume is his library. He went inside it and Chris chased


    him in that direction. After him, Ethan, Tyler, Bryan, Mason and two more men entered. Seeing them,


    Greg smiled and one of the unknown men headed towards him and helped him. It was more like now


    Harris and Chris fighting in the library and others fighting here in front of us. I found Zachary left saving


    his life.


    Everyone was fighting with Peter and those bodyguards of Harris but no one from Chris''s friends


    turned into a wolf or looked like shifting into one. It was then we heard a gun from the library and then


    everything went silent.


    I made my way towards the library limping. Ethan gave me support but thinking of Chris hurt, was


    making me lose my control not the sprained leg and now probably broken. I fell in front of the library


    when I saw a pair of legs walking out.


    Peter made a try to run but Mason was fast enough to catch him and throw him back into the


    penthouse. The pair of legs belonged to Chris. He squatted down near me and wiped the tears


    covering my cheeks. He cooed at me, taking me in his arms.


    Half of the bodyguards are lying on the floor holding their one body part or the other. Greg is near


    Jeanne andforting her, basically they areforting each other and exploring each other’s


    wounds. It was only then I noticed the unknown friend of Chris talking to him while he held me in his


    embrace.


    I just can’t believe how I got so lucky with this man.


    I missed all of their talk and was lost until Chris poked me and brought me out of thoughts.


    “We need to talk.” He told me with a stern face, telling me that I am in no position to argue orment


    anything in that matter. “For now, you need to stay here blind folded and bounded with Jeanne and


    Greg.” I was about to say something but he continued. “We need to hid a murder. And you know why


    exactly I can’t take the me. Trust me I will stay around the building and protect you. Just stay here


    and when the policee and ask you anything, say the truth until you bring Harris home after that


    you know nothing. You heard things going around but know nothing.” I just nodded and agreed with


    him.


    The same guy went to Greg and Jeanne and talked to them about something, I assume the same


    thing. It was not until now, I noticed the cloth around everyone’s neck like it was used to cover their


    faces until now and now it is pulled down to reveal their faces.


    “I am sorry, I was not there when you needed me. I should have listened to my heart and came here


    earlier, trusted you more and been there for you. I am sorry.” He kissed my forehead and again started


    rocking me back and forth in hisp like a baby. “But now there is nothing to be worried about. You just


    have to be found by police and act like you don’t know what happened after you brought him here. You


    have to tell them the truth of your rtionship with him. You just have to lie about the part when we


    came here and he died.”


    I snuggled up close to him, I don’t want to leave him. I know I have to so I can protect him from the


    police. They won''t understand why it was necessary to kill Harris, no, I don’t justify his mrder but if he


    wouldn’t have been killed then he could have harmed Harris. From the beginning of my n,


    somewhere in my heart I knew in my heart that it would be the only result.


    Yes, I am being selfish here to protect my Chris.
