Moon-Colored Eyes Chapter 20
Okay let's summarize the last thing that has happened in the past few minutes.
Leonardo is a traitor who is friends with the vampires infiltrating the pack, my mother tried to murder my half brother along with his mother before he was born multiple times, Leonardo was kidnapped by the bloodsuckers causing my fathe to search for him for twenty years, and now a big white wolf is in the middle of my living room jumping for the jugular of the newest member of the family....
I knew I should have stayed in bed with my mate.
We were all shocked when the rouge went straight to attack my half brother, completely obviating our presence, and I kn by the look we shared that we all had the same thought.
Do we help him or let him fend for himself?
My parents motioned for us not to interfere and we put some distance with our bodies on edge just in case they attacked us too.
I sniffed in the direction of the window as I surveyed the surroundings in case anyone else came with her, but it was emp my nose pecked and my wolf growled with recognition.
Her scent was familiar but where had I sniffed it before?
The sound of something breaking returns my attention to the fight still going on in the middle of my house, the sound being Leonardo being smashed against a mirror hanging on one of the walls.
At some point in my distraction, my half brother transformed as well and now his light brown wolf was barking, growling and throwing bites in all directions, my parents simply surrounded them, each on the back of a wolf, dad behind Leonard and mom the rouge.
They made no pretense of stopping them at any point, just hauling them along so they wouldn't go anywhere.
At some point in their fight Leonardo manages to bite the wolf's shoulder making her let out a pitiful whimper, and almo: overshadowed by the sounds I recognize the growl of one of my brothers although it is impossible for me to identify whose.
The rouge quickly pulls herself together and digs her claws into my half brother's side causing him to release her, they continue to exchange a few blows making each other bleed, but it is only until the white she-wolf lunges with murderous intent at Leonardo's exposed throat that my parents interfere.
Simultaneously they leap on them both separating them and subduing them against the ground, a clear display of their immense strength as they don't need to transform to do so, both wolves struggle and flail trying to free themselves from the suffocating grip, but my parents don't budge an inch.
Soon my mother's silver eyes turn a bright, pure white, the magic of her power hitting all of us present making us gasp or stagger.
Transform. She orders in a low but perfectly clear voice.
Both wolves whimper a little before losing their four-legged form to become human, two very naked humans.
And it's when my eyes make contact with the girl's body that I finally recognize her and I feel like punching myself for not doing it sooner, how many white-haired rouges were seen these days?
Another grunt of direction from my brothers was heard before Jack appeared at the side of the girl who was lying on the floor, her t-shirt was no longer on her body, but in her hands as she hurried to cover her naked body. Julian also hurried tear off one of the curtains of the window that had just been destroyed to throw it in the direction of Leonardo who wrapped it around him and stood up.
jack helped the she-wolf stand as well, a strange magnetism between them.
I cleared my throat as I approached the stranger.
“This is the second time you have attacked Leonardo, could you share with us why you so eagerly desire his death? I said gaining the attention of the girl who gave me a furious look.
Now what had I done to her?
You attacked her in the forest leaving her half dead and then leaving her in the infirmary.
Oh, details plus details minus...
-Do you know her? My father asked me, to which I shrugged.
She's the rouge I fought with to save that one’s life.” Leonardo and I shared a look of displeasure, I still couldn't forgive him for having taken the opportunity to escape while I risked my skin for him. I finished crossing my arms.
Then you are Rafael and Max's friend, we have been anxiously waiting for you to wake up. My mother said but the girl mt have taken her words as a threat because she tensed and hissed in warning.
“Where are they, what did they do to you? I asked with anger and concern.
Calm down Diana," I scolded remembering her name, “You will be able to see them very soon but first we must take care a more urgent problem. My she-wolf growled at me not wanting to let the female near our mate.
How do you know my name,” she asked distrustfully sniffing in my direction, her reddish brown eyes narrowing with animosity, “Who are you and why do you have Raphael's scent all over you,” a feral growl escaping her lips, “What did you do to him, bitch? He spat.
Both Jack and I growled at the same time, he with displeasure and I with anger.
Who does she think she is to treat me like this, if she wasn't Rafael’s friend her blood would already be painting the walls of my home.
Kill her, he doesn't need another female in his life apart from us.
Casiana urged me tantalizingly and it was a super human effort not to do it.
Let it be the last time you pronounce my mate's name that way if you don’t want me to finish what I started in the wood: threatened and her features lit up with surprise.
-Are you his mate? I asked incredulously.
I rolled my eyes.
~You are full of questions, yes, he is my partner, so I would appreciate it if you would cooperate with my mission to keep parents from killing you before he sees you.
She looked stunned for a few moments before being interrupted by a loud hiss.
-I can't believe the little princess is the mate of a dog like him. Leonardo spat next to my father earning waves of anger from Diana and me.
“You stay out of this. I said.
“1 will murder you. Diana declared at the same time.
We shared a grimace as we looked at each other defiantly.
Don't you dare talk to him like that. No one could bother Leonardo but us.
“You are not ordering me, I can do whatever I want against that traitor. I grumbled indignantly.
You are very annoying, I don't know how you are friends with my partner.
“I can’t understand either how Rafael has such a capricious and tantrum child as mate.
My fangs grew longer as I felt my blood burn.
“What did you call me a bitch? Yeah well, I don't think it's a good idea to fight with her again.
Breathe Juliet.
“What you heard was so sweet.
Although, on second thought, a few blows wouldn't hurt.
“Julieta.” Jackson started to say but I didn’t hear him, moving as fast as I could, letting my fist go against his face.
Her eyes changed to full red wolf eyes that looked at me with infinite rage.
She didn't wait for an invitation, her knee connected with my abdomen and making me lose my breath along with my concentration which she took advantage of to punch me back.
My silver blood covered my teeth as I smiled cynically at my opponent, she froze for a moment of surprise at her color which 1 took advantage of to kick her in the side and knock her down.
We rolled around on the floor while scratching, biting, shoving, in short, any kind of attack that could cause as much damage as possible.
But even though we were both drawing blood, you couldn't feel the murderous aura that there was with Leonardo while they were fighting, and that just meant that even though we wanted to hurt each other, we didn't really have any intentio of killing each other.
“I bet you my northern border homework that Juliet wins," I heard Jace say.
-I say they're going to separate them before they know it. Julian seconded.
“Would you two shut up?” Jack shouted and I thanked him while dodging a head b**t. “It's obvious that Juliet is going to lose because she won't do anything to upset her partner” he continued and I knew I had spoken too soon.
Shut your mouths. Diana said with difficulty and I nodded in agreement.
When I wanted to say a scathing comment in her direction, my partners friend managed to embed her claws in my right arm causing me to yelp in pain.
julietat
I heard Rafael's scream in my head and I could feel his desperation.
I used my legs to push the she-wolf away from me and turned my attention to the top, knowing that in just a few momen my mate would make an appearance.
Diana took advantage of her distance to knock me down whipping the back of my head against the floor causing my visio to be flooded with black dots, she sat on my torso while trying to hold my wrists, I turned my face away trying to reach he forearm with my fangs.
An angry growl sounded above our heads and this time we both turned our heads just in time to see my partner launch himself from the second floor to land in the middle of the foyer.
He was wearing only pajama bottoms, leaving his feet , powerful chest and abs on display, though also his scars. My brothers muttered things I couldn't understand.
-Diana. Called my partner with a clear anger to which her friend saw him with narrowed eyes.
Rafael. I answered with doubt.
Let her go. I order and the pressure on my wrists increases.
-Or else what? He said after what seemed like an eternity.
Rafael smiled sweetly revealing his perfectly aligned teeth, in a heartbeat the she-wolf was no longer on top of me.
But imprisoned in a strong grip between the arms of my mate that seemed quite a hug that did not make a bit of grace neither to Casiana nor to me.
Ill cut off his hands if he doesn't stop touching it.
My wolf warned in my mind and I could only agree.
Rafael glued his lips to her ear whispering things to her that made her stop stirring, leaving a grimace of disgust in her place.
-1 was defending Leonardo. He complained loudly and it was at that moment that Rafael was aware that my half-brother was present.
My partner sighed in clear annoyance glaring at the blond, my half brother dared a lopsided smile giving them a nod, Rafael wrapped his arms tighter around the female unconsciously, causing a slight whimper to escape from between his lips.
jackson and I arrived at his side in a moment, but as I pulled my mate to pull him behind me as he grunted, my brother pressed the white-haired girl against his chest repeating my same menacing sound.
Two things happened at that moment.
Rafael hugged me by the waist pulling me to him in a gesture that was intended to be reassuring which made me sigh inwardly satisfied with his contact.
And the second one is that with a territorial tone I said one of mine at the same time that Jack said another one of mine leaving us all shocked with his statement.
There were different reactions from everyone, but the most noticeable was that of my brother's partner who for a second relaxed in his arms letting out a soft purr and closing his eyes.
We remained silent for a few moments letting the force of the statements sink into us, creating a rather tense atmospher “What the f**k..". Leonardo broke the silence and we all turned to look at him.
He looked pale and a little greenish, his eyes were shining with disbelief and his mouth was wide open.
Diana and Rafael tensed up baring their fangs and claws in his direction, my half brother took a defensive stance as he hissed back.
I held Rafael's hands tightly in case he wanted to attack him, I looked at Jack who was doing the same with Diana, we bot shared a look reading each other's thoughts.
We were in a world of trouble.
Which only increased when my father grabbed Leonardo by the shoulders to subdue him and mom stood in front of Dian to cut off her vision.
The air felt heavy and I let my head fall back as I closed my eyes wearily.
This was definitely going to be a long night.
