Fighting to be his

Chapter 4

I woke up to the feeling of someone tracing their fingers on my back. I sighed at the nice feeling and tried to snuggle deeper into my pillow…which wasn’t a pillow. I slightly opened my eyes and saw that my hands where fisting someone’s shirt. I looked up groggily to see Benny’s face watching me I frowned and stretched out a little bit. Benny chuckled as I curled up into a ball still on top of him. I still didn’t care that I was lying on him I’m tired and he’s really comfortable.
 
‘You kind of act like a cat Allie.’ Benny said affectionately.
 
‘Funny about that.’ I mumbled to him.
 
He chuckled again and I drifted back off to sleep hoping that I would catch up on some more sleep so I have enough energy to go for a run later…if Benny lets me that is.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
‘Allie…’
 
‘Allie wake up.’
 
I could hear someone talking softly trying to wake me up.
 
‘Allie come on you need to get up otherwise you won’t sleep tonight.’
 
‘No…’ I mumbled.
 
‘Yes.’ They said a bit louder.
 
I groaned and stretched out, I went to roll over but a pair of arms quickly grabbed my waist. I jumped a little and opened my eyes to see Benny looking at me with a slight worried expression. He let go of my waist and I sat up slipping off him and sitting against the couch on the floor. I rubbed my eyes and stretched again waking up a bit more. I heard Benny move to sit up and felt him slip down to sit next to me on the floor.
 
‘You awake now?’ I looked at him and nodded slightly.
 
I got up and walked into the kitchen looking for some things to make some lunch.
 
‘Benny what can I make for lunch?’ I asked as he walked in behind me.
 
‘Umm I think Grandma left some spaghetti in the fridge.’
 
I walked over to the fridge, grabbed the spaghetti out and put the container in the microwave. Benny had placed two bowels and forks on the bench for us so I lent against the bench waiting for it to finish warming up. Benny moved so he was standing in front of me and went to place his hands on my waist but I quickly pushed them away as the microwave beeped. I pushed past him and got the spaghetti out and dished it up between us, I then sat down at the bench and started eating slowly. He sat down across from me and started eating as well.
 
‘We still have to talk about what’s going on Allie you can’t keep avoiding it, it’s going to happen wether you like it or not.
 
I looked up at him from eating.
 
‘Yes it’s going to happen but not right now Benny… I’m eating.’
 
He chuckled and did the same. We both sat in comfortable silence for a while after we had finished. I was debating if I should ask him if I can go for a run tonight, it was hard to tell if he was going to get angry, protective or possessive. He’s moods were pretty unpredictable. I looked up at him shyly to see him mucking around on his phone.
 
‘Um Benny.’ I said quietly.
 
His head snapped up quickly to look at me.
 
‘Could I ask you something…?’ I asked quietly. ‘Please.’ I added on.
 
‘Sure.’ He said sitting up straight, he looked quiet interested in what I was going to ask him.
 
‘Um I-I was wondering if I could…maybe…if you don’t mind.’
 
‘Just ask me Allie.’ He said interested but quiet amused.
 
I wanted to just tell him that I was going for a run but he has been good so I don’t want him to get angry.
 
‘I was wondering if I could go for a run tonight…’ I said also very quietly.
 
He just looked at me.
 
‘No’ He said firmly.
 
‘Benny please? I really need to go for a run I’ve been in this house all day!’
 
‘You’ve been sleeping all day.’ He said plainly. ‘And I’ve been inside all day as well.’
 
‘That was your choice you could of gone out but no you had to be stubborn and not let us go anywhere.’
 
His eyes flashed black.
 
‘Your not going Allie and that’s final.’ He said standing up and taking our bowels to the sink. He then walked out of the kitchen and stomped up the stairs.
Well that didn’t go as planned.
 
I was about to get up when I heard the front door open and shut and Mrs. Weir’s sent drifted through the house. She wondered into the kitchen and gave me a small smile when she saw me sitting at the bench.
 
‘How are you Allie?’
 
‘I’m fine, I feel better after getting a bit more sleep.’
 
I said quietly.
 
‘Yes I saw you curled up on Benny earlier.’
 
I blushed and looked down at the bench.
 
‘So what have you got planned for the rest of the day?’ She asked me.
 
‘Nothing. Benny won’t let me do anything. I just asked him if I could go for a run tonight because I’ve been cooped up all day and he said no.’
 
She sighed and shook her head. ‘That boy, he doesn’t know anything. He should know were’s don’t like being cooped up inside especially were-cats. I’ll go talk to him.’
 
I nodded with a big smile on my face. ‘Thanks you Mrs. Weir and good luck.’
 
She gave me a smile then she walked upstairs to talk to Benny.
 
I walked into the lounge and sat down on the couch not really paying attention to the television but looking outside. I had zoned out because I didn’t even hear Mrs. Weir come back down stairs.
 
‘Allie.’ She said standing in front of me.
 
I snapped out of it and looked at her hoping she had convinced Benny to let me go out tonight.
 
‘Well I talked to him and he’s changed his mind you guys are going to go to the forest tonight. Just be careful Allie there will be Alpha’s around and maybe even other demon’s, just stay close to Benny and listen to him ok?’
 
I nodded my head and jumped up and hugged her.
 
‘Thank you so much!’ I said to her. She chuckled and I let go of her running up the stairs and following Benny’s scent to his room. I opened his door and saw him sitting at his desk on his computer. I quickly ran over to him and sat on his lap putting my arms around his neck.
 
‘Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I said to him really excited.
He chuckled and put his arms around my waist returning the hug.
 
‘If I knew you where going to act like this I would of said yes straight away.’ He said into my ear sending shivers through my body.
 
I got off him and stuck my tongue out at him. He laughed and I sat down on his bed crossing my legs. I noticed he was doing face time with Ethan; he looked quiet awkward sitting there. I waved at him.
 
‘Hi Ethan!’ I said really happy.
 
‘Hey Allie.’ He said back.
 
Benny looked at Ethan and then back at me and scowled. I sighed and rolled my eyes.
 
‘Benny, Ethan isn’t even here don’t worry and beside’s I don’t even like him. No offence Ethan.’
 
He held his hands up. ‘None taken.’
 
Benny didn’t look convinced.
 
‘I’ll be in my room sorting my stuff out if you need me.’ I got up and walked over to him placing a quick peck on his cheek before walking swiftly out of the room and towards mine. As I shut the door I heard Ethan say ‘See!’ and I smiled to myself.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
All of my things were now away and my room didn’t look like a trash heap. Mrs. Weir had cooked us a nice dinner and now I was washing the dishes while Benny dried and put them away. It was nearly time to go and I was getting excited. I finished washing and ran upstairs to change. I slipped on my jean shorts and black crop top. I also grabbed another pair of shorts and same black crop top and shoved them in a bag along. I slipped on some cheap shoes and ran back downstairs. I placed my bag on the bench and sat on a spiny stool, spinning around waiting for Benny to tell me we could go.
 
‘BENNY!!!’ I yelled.
 
A moment later he casually walked in and I stopped spinning and stood up nearly falling over. Benny rushed forward and held me until I gained my balance back.
 
‘Ok let’s be careful next time yeah.’ He said to me.
 
I smiled at him and grabbed my bag of the bench and faced him ready to go.
 
‘Ok before we leave here are the rules.’ I groaned and he looked at me sternly.
 
‘First don’t go to far away from me and if you here or see anyone you come straight back to me ok.’
I nodded and waited for him to continue.
 
‘I serious about this Allie no running off or it won’t happen again.’
 
‘Fine.’ I mumbled.
 
I followed him out the door. I started walking quickly down the street eager to get to the forest. Benny growled and I slowed down a bit walking next to him. We soon reached the forest and I walked ahead trying to find a good place to phase. We kept walking until we came to a beautiful clearing. I dropped by bag by a tree an walked to the middle stretching my arms out and spinning around.
 
‘It’s beautiful here Benny!’ I said to him.
 
I stopped and watched him for a moment. He was listening to something. I heard a shuffling noise and I froze. I smelt the air. Someone else was here and they weren’t alone. I took slow careful steps towards Benny and stood facing him to the side a bit so I could still see what was going on behind the trees. He stepped forward and placed a hand on my waist pulling me a little bit closer to him. I went along with it still trying to work out the scent that was nearby. We heard a crack and both of our heads snapped towards it and then I smelt it. Four different scents all were’s.
 
‘Benny…’ I started softly. ‘Their all were’s.
 
His expression went hard and his eyes turned coal black not any other color visible in them.
 
‘We need to get out of here.’ He said lowly.
 
I nodded my head slowly. ‘Yes but if we run their going to chase and trust me we wont outrun them from the same starting point.’
 
‘I could use magic.’
 
‘You can’t it goes against all rules of fighting for a mate. If you even attempted to use it you would be giving me straight to them. Please don’t.’ I pleaded with him.
 
He nodded. I watched as all four of them emerged from the trees. I noticed that one was Jason a beta for the were prince. He would have been an alpha himself otherwise.
 
‘Well what do we have here?’ One of them said.
 
 ‘Just the girl we’ve been after.’
 
‘Thought you could get away from us huh?’ The one I knew as Jason said.
 
‘Well you haven’t caught me have you? I said smugly.
 
‘The prince want’s you Allie and he’s a royal. They get whatever the want.’ He told me sternly.
‘Well he can’t have what isn’t his.’ I snarled at him.
 
He smirked at me. ‘Every were knows you’re his. Every one of them that has been chasing you has been trying to catch you for him. There’s an award for anyone that brings you back. But me, I’m just doing my job.’
 
‘I. Am. Not. His.’ I growled at him.
 
I was starting to shake and I knew I would phase soon. I felt Benny place a hand on my shoulder and I immediately calmed down.
 
Jason growled at him. ‘Take your hand off our princes mate.’
 
Benny growled back. ‘She’s my mate.’
 
Jason smiled evilly. ‘Then why doesn’t she smell like you? You definitely haven’t marked her.’
 
‘He’s my actual mate. My soul mate. Sorry to disappoint but I found him if you like it or not.’
 
‘It doesn’t matter if he’s your actual mate the prince want’s you so he gets you. And well your not marked or mated with.’
 
I knew Benny was getting angry. I could feel him shake beside me. I felt his hand leave my shoulder and I turned to see him take a step back. His eyes were glowing black now and his facial features became more defined. Then black demonic wings pushed out from his shoulder blades ripping his shit and making shred to the ground. I stood there in awe. My eyes drifted to his body and up to his wings. I heard Jason and the other’s growl which made my head snap back towards them.
 
‘Demon.’ Jason growled.
 
‘And spell master.’ I growled back. The three guys behind him disappeared and came back moments later in the forms of black panthers. They went to move forward but Jason stopped them.
 
‘Wait. There outnumbered. Allie I’ll give you a choice you can either come willing or we’ll force you.’
 
Benny and I both growled at them. He stepped forward.
 
‘Then try and stop me.’
 
I leapt forward phasing in mid air before colliding with Jason still in his human form. I jumped off him and growled real low. He stood up and phased into a massive tiger.
 
Good I have an advantage over him.
 
Speed and agility.
 
I knew Benny would be ok with using his demonic powers. He just couldn’t do magic. I dodged Jason as he leat towards me I twisted around and jumped onto his back biting down on the back of his neck with my sharp teeth. He let out a deafening roar as I ripped it open a bit. I jumped off to see Benny throwing the other guys into the trees.
 
‘Benny let’s go!’ I said to him telepathically.
 
I saw him nod and I took off running ahead of him. I could hear them all behind us. I heard a noise above me and looked up to see Benny flying above me, my bag in hand. As we neared the edge of the forest I sped up knowing that the spell Mrs. Weir had done would keep them out of Whitechapel. I could feel Jason right behind me so I jumped he just missed me as I landed outside the forest. I turned around to see him growling at the edge before turning and running back the same way.
 
I took off towards the house knowing Benny was still above me. Even though it was late I couldn’t risk anyone seeing me. Benny reached the door just ahead of me and sung it open stepping inside I ran inside and stopped next to him while he closed the door. He walked into the lounge with me following.
 
I looked at his wings as they sat against his back. They were gorgeous. I snapped out of it when I noticed it wasn’t just Mrs. Weir in the lounge but joining her on the couch was Ethan and Sarah. Benny let out a little warning growl and I stepped up next to him rubbing my head on his leg. I was to pissed off and annoyed to phase back so I would have to talk to them through my mind link.
 
‘What on earth happened?’ Mrs. Weir asked us?
 
‘Jason Happened.’ I told everyone.
 
‘Who’s Jason?’ Ethan asked.
 
‘The were princes beta.’
 
No one said anything for a minute.
 
‘So he wanted you for the prince?’
 
‘Yeah and I told him that Benny’s my mate and he wasn’t to impressed about that…’
 
‘And then Allie phased and attacked Jason while I took care of the other three and now where back here.’ Benny finished for me.
 
They all looked like they where thinking.
 
‘Allie go phase back and then meet me in my room. We need to talk.’
 
Oh god…
