My Name is NOT Cupcake

Chapter 22

"So what do you think?" Elias asked me. I was about to reply when we heard a growling. It was so loud

that the girls got out of the lake and sat in between Elias and I. Elias turned towards the noise and

crouched defensively. I was shocked when a growl escaped his throat with even more ferocity. A large

wolf emerged from the tree line. Right after, another appeared. Three stalked closer to us before there

was Mason, dressed in nothing but a pair of basketball shorts.

"Mason?" I said happy and confused at the same time. I took a step towards him before Elias pushed

me back.

"Stay behind me," Elias growled. The wind was knocked out of me by the push. I gasped and rolled

over to my stomach. I coughed and tried to catch my breath as I got to my feet. I saw the twins

cowering on the blanket. If Mason and Elias were there, I knew the girls would be okay. I ran.

"Nova!" Elias yelled. The growling turned into snarling. I didn't look back. The branches scratched me

but I kept pushing. A pair of arms wrapped around my waist and I took a deep breath. I was ready to

scream but a hand covered my mouth. I thrashed and fought.

"Nova! Nova! Calm down! It's me! It's just me!" the voice said. I stopped fighting and turned to see

Mason. I sighed in relief and hugged him tightly.

"Oh, thank God," I breathed. Mason held me in a vice grip as he kissed my head. He pulled away and

looked over his shoulder.

"We have to get you out of here now," he said quickly. He took my hand and we were running. I could

see the parking lot before I was ripped away from Mason. My back hit a tree, making pain shoot up my

spine. I gasped as I hit the floor. There was a growling that vibrated the forest floor and a large gray

wolf. I gasped as my vision began to get clearer. Mason was coughing on his butt.

"M-Mason," I tried to say, but I couldn't hear my own voice. The gray wolf looked bloodthirsty. I knew

what he wanted and I couldn't let it happen. Using all the strength I had left, I pushed myself forward

and over Mason's body. I sobbed and waited for the pain but it never came. Well, at least not in the way

I expected. I screamed as teeth sunk into my shoulder. I was yanked up by my arm and held close to

someone. I knew that feeling...

Elias.

I felt myself sobbing and going limp but I didn't understand. I wasn't in control of my body anymore.

Nothing was making sense. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

"... she's my mate, you can't take her from me," Elias growled.

"She's not your to take. She has a life and a family. The last thing she wants is to be holed away to give

you pups for the rest of her life," Mason snarled. Elias laughed, but it wasn't light and musical like it

normally was. It was dark and there was no humor in it.

"She is mine. Mine. I don't care if you do have Alpha blood. It's no match to me. I swear to God if you

try to take my mate away from me again, I'll kill you," Elias growled. I put my hand to my neck only to

pull it away and find it covered with blood. I started hyperventilating as everything became unfocused

for a moment.

"She called me," Mason snapped at him. Wow, I just got thrown under the bus. Elias stopped and

looked at me. I felt his grip tighten. "When she comes out of shock, she's going to hate you for marking

her," Mason said. Everything started getting blurry. Mason growled and turned to a wolf right in front of

my eyes. I was hallucinating. I was set on the ground before Elias was the gray wolf from earlier. This

wasn't real. There's no way this is real.
