Chapter 97 : This is All About Food
I tried to sit up in bed but Soren held me tightly.
“It is just more rocks, Mila, you've got to try and sleep," he murmured.
I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, and closed my eyes again.
“You murderers!"
I groaned and put a pillow over my head, trying to muffle out the shouts and the sounds of rock throwing.
Every time it died down, I started to drift off, and then another rock hit the house, waking me up again.
“You thieves!"
“Monsters, get the hell out of here!"
“Soren, how could you sleep through this?" I muttered, my arm over my eyes.
“The patrol won't let them cause any damage or harm to the pack house. We're safe and our temporary base is safe. Don't worry about them."
“It's not the building I'm worried about. They're attacking my hearing, though. With all the banging and the cursing…"
“You killed our Alpha!"
“You don't belong here!"
“Greed turned you all into monsters and murders!"
Soren sighed and nuzzled my cheek with his nose.
“If you close your eyes and relax, you can shut it out, I promise."
I let out an exasperated breath, but I tried again. I closed my eyes and took some deep breaths.
“You hideous bloodsuckers!"
“Curse you. Curse you and your families!"
“Bastards, you killed my husband!"
“Okay, that's enough," I said. I sat up.
Soren sat up too. He looked tired, with bags under his eyes, but he didn't seem angry.
“Do you want me to scare them away again?" he asked.
I shook my head. “They wouldn't buy it."
Soren's men didn't chase after them or hurt them. Once they realized Soren wasn't really going to attack them, they would come back again.
“Well, I get cranky and scary when I'm tired."
I rolled my eyes and swallowed my giggle.
“But you're right, they're only being this bold because they don't think I'll hurt them," Soren said.
“You shouldn't hurt them. They are so broken and… desperate."
“Alright, then you and I will have to try to ignore them again," Soren smirked. “Payne and Thomas will scare them off again if they get too close."
