I know that I can't run, there is nowhere to run. I need to stay and fight. As much as I hate all that has happened to me, I know this is where I belong and Landon is my Alpha and I need to save him. I go to open the bookcase door, I then look back at Jayden and smile, “I'll be right back, I love you.”
Even though he is upset with me, a smile appears on his face, “I love you too, Lilly.”
I open the bookcase as quietly as possible. Knowing that I cannot be heard, the consequences could be awful. It is so dark it's hard to see. Then all of a sudden, I can see a golden glow, shocked when I realize it's coming from me. My eyes are glowing. Once blinded by the dark, but now I can see everything. I can still feel discomfort from Landon, but they must be letting him rest to heal a little. Before they begin to torture him even more.
I'm confused about how I can feel his pain. I don't understand, but I don't have time to try to figure that out rig
I am uncertain about what to do, I have never battled so many at once. But I will not show any kind of weakness. Even though my alpha did not protect me, I will protect him at any cost. I refuse to lose anybody else I care about. I was always taught that you protect those that you love no matter the cost, even if it leads to your death, and that is what I'm going to do.I shift into my wolf and go for the kill, not taking mercy on any wolf that comes into my direction. I can't show even a smudge of weakness to where I can be taken down. As I rip through the flesh of many, the metallic taste is remarkable. It makes my wolf lick our lips in delight as the blood drips from my mouth.All of a sudden, I see the same golden light that I saw when my eyes glowed. I get thrown off track, wondering why Jayden came out of hiding. My wolf then gets pushed up against the wall by multiple wolves, they are holding me there. I then become terrified, hating that no matter what I
Landon really hasn't spoken since we escaped. We have been running ourselves ragged. I'm so tired, I'm uncertain how much more I can handle. We haven't had over 2 hours of rest at a time. I do not know where he is taking us. I'm not even sure if he knows where we are going.Star hasn't communicated with me since we left Ivan. She is worried about our mate, and she begged me to stay, but I just couldn't. Even though he is my mate, Landon and Jayden mean more to me than he ever could. Ivan is just a bond. I know that it may be for life, but it doesn't mean I will ever love him.I watch as Jayden is starting to wake up. I watch him peek back at me and smile. His smile does something to me. It gives me hope that everything will be okay. I feel relaxed and not so worried. Well, at least not at this moment, anyway. Knowing that this bond I have with Jayden is stronger than any mate bond will ever be.Suddenly, I feel a pain that shoots through my body and makes
I close my eyes and accept our fate. I know it's cowardly, but I am just so tired of fighting. Maybe it would just be better off. I feel it would be better not to give up mentally, but physically I just can't handle anymore. As the footsteps sound right next to me, then stop. I then hear a voice that I have never heard before. Jayden wraps me into a bear hug. I put his head into my chest.Then a power that I have never felt before begins to run through my veins. I am not understanding where I am getting this strength from, but I then shift into my wolf. I block Jayden from them, not knowing what I'm about to get myself into, but not caring. I will give my life to protect his.I feel like I am full of rage, and it's hard to control as I let out a howl that is so infuriating that it pushes back the person who is closest to us. I notice that they aren't shifted, not understanding why. I will not be taken easily, and I will do whatever is necessary to protect my cub.
LANDON'S POVOnce we get back, I'm nervous, not knowing if they will find us here or not. My father is such a ruthless man, all he wants is power. The strings that he went through to make all this happen is beyond me. How could I have been so stupid? I should have known better, but I was just blinded by all of it. All of this time, my mother was right.I knew I was different from all the other wolves, but I just played it off like I was no different. I just wanted to be like everybody else. I didn't tell anybody that I was different, I didn't even know what I was. I tried to ignore all that was happening. I was afraid of the truth, I chose to stay clear of it.My mother told me stories, but I never believed her. I thought she was crazy. Once I found my mate, I ignored my so-called powers and moved with her. When she was killed, my heart broke. I wanted to die too. I was at my lowest point, so I decided I wanted to die. I went to the top of wicked falls and
LANDON'S POVIt has been busy, and Lily still has not woken up. I'm starting to get concerned, even though my mother is telling me that her body needs rest and once she is fully rested, she will wake up. I feel that all of this is my fault, sometimes I wish that we had never met. Wondering if all this pain that I cost her would have never happened.I know that I have so much that I need to make up to her. I'm not even sure if she's going to allow me to even be in her life. I can't believe I was so dumb. I am still trying to forgive myself for all that I have done to her. All I want is for her to be OK. I know that we all have a long road in front of us. Figuring out all that we need to do just to be safe.This place is so hidden, even if they do come look for us here, it's like we are camouflaged, unable to be seen. Sometimes I feel this place makes no sense. It's almost like it's a magical area that all the outside world is just sealed off to it. I worry
LILLY'S POVI am so weak I can't move when I open my eyes all I see is black I become confused. I then have trouble knowing if my eyes are open or shut. I look around trying to find any light but nothing. What the fuck is going on I go to move but I cant move its like I'm paralyzed. I hear a voice it sounds like a female voice but I'm not sure who it is I never heard this voice before. Who could this be and what do they want with me.I can tell the voice is getting closer i start to become nervous trying to make out what she is saying but i can't I start to become angry with myself for not being able to understand what she is saying. I open my mouth to scream what do you want but nothing comes out it's like I'm mute.What the fuck is happening I have no idea. Was I captured Oh my God Jayden what if they attacked us and now we're being held captive. I become so frustrated trying to break free trying to bring my body back from being paralyzed but nothing I c
As I am looking around the room, I am surprised to see Landon by my bedside, holding my hand. What the fuck is this all that he has done? He thinks he can touch me. I pull my arm out from underneath him, I watch as he jumps awake. “Oh my God Lilly you're awake.”He goes to hug me, but I shout out to him “don't you dare touch me.”As I'm looking at him, I can see the disappointment on his face. I'm trying to ignore it. I am so sick and tired of everyone causing me pain. I am taking charge of myself and not allowing it to happen ever again. I feel bad that his mate betrayed him, but that is not my problem. My issue right now is protecting Jayden and taking over the werewolves oh and finding out who killed my family, so I can make them suffer for what did.“Lilly, please, I'm sorry for all that has happened. I know that it will take a lot for you to forgive me, but please find it in your heart.”“Are you fucking kidd
As I watch Landon's mother leave the room so I can shower. They offered to help but I want to be able to do it on my own. I stumble to the bathroom as my arms Reached the walls as I catch myself from falling. I do not feel pain just weakness like I've been laying forever. I need to gain my strength training is going to start. I will need to be prepared I already talk Landon into this. It must be ready when it starts so I will have to pull myself together.As I walk into the bathroom I turn the water on as I can see the hot water builds steam into the bathroom I inhale it in my lungs the lungs then begin to cough it out but at the same time it feels good. It's like going to get into the shower I feel the water It's so hot it feels like it Burns my skin. I jump backwards and then Turn some cold on to cool it down just a tad. Then it's perfect I get in to the shower and just let the water pour over my nakedness.The water feels so good I can feel my musc
