ALEXIS'S POV
I was just about to cut the phone when I felt hands on my waist causing me to jump and let out a scream . I instantly put the phone in my pocket without cutting the call .
"What the hell?" I said as I pulled back my head and smacked it to the person's head behind me.
"Ow.." I said rubbing my head . I backed away and turned around slowly . It couldn't have been Jace because I'm literally on the phone with him . Did he send Alec or Michael ?
One thing is for sure , the person's head was a freaking rock! I feel like I broke mine by hitting his .
"Quite feisty aren't you?.. I was wondering for a few days why Jace was wasting his time in a girl. I guess now I know. You're sexy.." The guy had jet black hair and blue eyes. He had a scar starting from his left eye down to the corner of his mouth.
He rubbed his forehead and his face was scrunched up in pain . Well .. so was mine , probably .
For now , let's c
ALEXIS'S POV Jace walks through the door , followed by Michael and Alec . Jace was the only one half naked , wearing nothing except boxers . I look away instantly . His eyes were boring into me . I couldn't stop myself from being drawn to them and looking , only to find that they were pure black and deadly . Scar man pushes me harshly aside and I fall to the ground , losing my balance . Jace growls murderously . He charges forward as Scar man cocks back his rifle and shoots him . " It has silver bullets ! " I yell . Jace seemed unfazed by my comment though Alec and Michael stepped aside , dodging the fire . He kept walking forward . Despite getting shot at repetitively , with the bullets lodging in his body causing him to bleed . Threads of silver color radiate outwards from the lodging of the bullets throughout his chest . I ... was horrified , to say the least . " Why aren't you dodging them ? " I whispered .
ALEXIS'S POV " If you're kidnapped and you know it clap your hands . " I clap twice . " If you're kidnapped and you know it and you really wanna show it , if you're kidnapped and you know it clap your hands . " I sing sarcastically and clap twice . Nobody responds . " Come on guys , it's a 30 min drive . Don't do this to me " I pout . " Let's play a game . " Michael's eyes sparkle as he says it . " What ? Like one of those ' name the countries ' kind ? " I ask curiously . I've never been on a roadtrip or anything of the kind before so I don't know what people usually do . The only places I went to were with Aeron and we didn't really go far just in case my dad found out and we had to rush back to make up an excuse for where we've been . I smile . Those were good times , indeed . Though I felt suffocated and imprisoned in my own home , spending that time with Aeron made it beautiful . " What ? Ew no way&nb
ALEXIS'S POV We pass by the fireplace next to the stairs and climb up the steps . " Not again " Alec and Michael mutter. " Isn't there an elevator here ? " I look around . There really isn't . I was right about it being out dated . How would we survive here ? " Can't we slap him awake ? " Michael asks as he supports half of Jace's weight on his shoulder . I scowl at his comment unknowingly causing him to smile . " Don't worry Alexis , we won't slap your lover " I slap Michael on the back of his head causing him to yelp ' ow ' , I realised that it was a bad idea when Michael almost lost his balance but brushed it off easily . " Quit messing with her Michael , she had a long day . " Alec scolded him . " THANK YOU . You are my true saviour , Alec . " I wipe away fake tears and put on a ' pained smile ' . " He's started shivering again . " Alec notes and I frown . We should get to the room quick . As we go up the st
Ch 20 " It's okay " I hear a whisper behind me . My breath hitches in my throat , my mouth goes dry and my heart sounds pounding . I decide to muster up the strength to turn around , even if it's slowly and amidst my heart beating so fast that I can hardly hear anything other than it anymore . I'm hoping , that it's just Michael and Alec messing with me , perhaps I left the door unlocked and they took the opportunity to scare the crap out of me for entertainment purposes . I am fine with that .. I gulp . I am pretty sure I locked the door though . ' Just do it . Turn around . Don't be scared . Ghosts aren't real ' I turn around in an instant , almost getting a whiplash and look behind . There was ... Nothing there. I sigh with relief . I must have imagined it . They say that stress and sleep deprivation can affect the brain in many ways that scientists are just beginning to understand . It m
Ch 21 ALEXIS'S POV I turn on the knob and twist it to warm water . I let the water wash away my troubles . Every time I am in a bad mood , I decide to let the water do it's work and cleanse me , even if it doesn't work sometimes , at the very least it's a bit relaxing . Something is better than nothing is it not ? As I'm in the shower , I hear a knock on the door , followed by Alec and Michael's voices . " Guys ... did you hear something strange last night ? " Michael asks . My hands freeze during mid - shampooing . Their voices fade out , they probably moved to another room . I finish my shower as quickly as I can , not wanting to miss the conversation that was about to occur . I wash my hair , body and pat myself dry in less than 2 minutes . Then I brush my teeth and throw on the clothes that I set aside for me . After I'm done , I head outside my room only to find that no one was there . There was a bedroom and a sort o
Ch 22 * Trigger Warning : The following chapter may have scenes that some readers may find uncomfortable , especially sexual assault victims . If you would just like a summary instead , skip to the very end and read it . Then you can simply move on to the next chapter * ALEXIS's POV I can't look away from the couple sitting at that table . The whole time , the wife is sniffling and wiping away her tears as she eats her food trying not to taint it with her natural saltwater . The husband , on the other hand , seems mostly unbothered , eating quietly . Almost like he is pretending that he doesn't notice whatever is going on with his wife . It's none of my business though . I eat my food in silence trying to ignore the couple . Jace looked at me and followed the direction of my gaze and possibly figured out the source of my concern . From under the table , I feel his hand on my thigh . I look up at him and
I wasn't furious .I wasn't angry .I just wanted to get away from him . I was sad that he could do something like that to me , despite my protests . I felt disgusting .Cade was still staring at me , lavishing every look , every glance and every area of my body . I hear a few knocks at the door . Cade doesn't move and I'm too afraid to ." Alexis , are you alright ? " I hear Michael's voice .I want to scream that I'm not , but I'm not sure if I should .But as soon as Cade growls and places his lips on my neck again , I knew there was no other option . I wasn't strong enough to fight him off . " Michael ! Help me ! " My voice cracks . I've never felt so embarrassed . So powerless . More than I hate him , I've never hated myself more .And yet I still got caught up in his lies . I stayed . I .. I'm an idiot . I'm such a fucking idiot . I actually thought he cared about me but I gues
Third Person Pov Michael waits , lying down on the floor mattress , pretending to be asleep . He listens intensely for the sign of her slumber . As soon as her breathing transitions from quick shallow bouts to deep and regular , he raises his head , taking a peak . Her tear stained face seemed to be at peace at last . He resists the urge to growl from frustration . ' How could he do this to his own mate ? ' He thinks in anger , however , he couldn't bring himself to completely blame him . It wasn't because Jace was his Alpha , it was just that Michael understood clearly wolf behaviour and wolf urges . Even he himself hasn't seen wolves who were unclaimed around their mate during a full moon , the results are catastrophic . Full moon is when the energy , strength and power of the inner wolf spirits is the strongest , it's when they get the opportunity to take control more easily than ever . Control is something Alphas have an inborn scarcity of so he w
If you read the story this far , thank you so much . I hope you liked it . I'm aware that there may be a few spelling errors due to a typing mistake , I will try to fix them as soon as possible by reviewing from the beginning . For those of you that are confused about the coin system on this app . The word count equates to the coins so if a particular chapter costs a lot of coins , it's because the word count is quite high and it took a while to write it . Hope you understand ~ If you have any questions about any plot loop holes or missing information , then you can leave a comment and I will get to you soon . It would mean a lot if you choose to leave a review for the book . Thank you once again for reading :)
" They are healing up nicely " the pack doctor tells me and I sigh with relief . I'm glad we decided to ask a neighbouring pack doctor for help ( Alpha Reiner ) . Apparently , Dianna .. I mean , Mom , was successful in convincing him after all and he doesn't seem to have a problem with her meeting me anymore as long as she doesn't come close to Dracula in the slightest . The pack doctor was a good call , those injuries were not my cup of tea at all . Michael was pacing around outside the room the whole time . The guilt was eating him alive . He was with Michelle at the time and his phone was outside their room . I don't blame him and I'm honestly glad that he wasn't there when it happened . Because then what happened to Alec could have happened to him as well . I blame myself for what happened to Alec . I was the one who called him , I should have just went myself without him . I'm the reason he's human now . ' Thank you . ' he had told me .
I see Noah entering the cottage as he goes to take a seat on the living room couch ." How did you frame her ? " I question ." It isn't hard for a powerful witch to use an element . " she says simply as she gets up and puts the leftover tea in the sink. " Enough with the questions .. a little birdie told me that you have exactly what I'm looking for . "I look away ." What are you talking about ? " I ask innocently ." Aren't we past pretending ? The channeling device , I know you have it . I saw it . With great power , you get a fraction of seer like abilities , if you know how to use them " she purses her lips , making her slight wrinkles more evident than they were before ." I have no clue what you are referring to . " I shrug . " I think we are done here . " I stand up slowly .What would happen if she used the dagger to steal Jace's essence . Would he die ?" Sit down . " she says calmly and I feel a force dragging me ,
" Since when ? " I questioned her as I stood a good few feet away from the bed ." The beginning . " she admits ." You were a lackey for my mother since the moment you met us ? " I ask incredulously ." Of course not . It was the next day that your mother approached me . I knew about the existence of supernatural beings , I just didn't know that you were one . "" Until she told you and asked you to spy on me . " I sigh and put my hands on the temples of my cheek in disbelief . This whole time then , our friendship was fake . She didn't care about me , she was just doing her job ." I needed the money for my family . " she says quietly ." I don't care anymore , Kayla . It's fine . " I say simply , taking a few deep breaths .After Aeron , I didn't think I'd find another best friend , I .. was starting to think of Kayla as my best friend even if she was a human , I was going to make it work somehow .I wanted to make it
" What do you want ? " I ask dryly , not making my strong emotions evident ." I just wanted to see you . " She breathes out as if taking it all in . Her hazel eyes water just the slightest and I almost give in ." You didn't see me for 18 years so why now ? "She looks inside the room .Hell no , I'm not inviting her in . I don't plan this to be longer than it actually has to be . She can say what she wants to say and then leave . I think a part of me knew that it wasn't entirely her fault but a part of me thinks she could have completely avoided this by simply waiting for her mate . Then I wouldn't be here . And I wouldn't have met Jace . So maybe that isn't the best idea after all .Without any delay she pushes past me to get inside and takes a seat on the couch in the living ." Shall we talk ? "" As if I have any choice in the matter . " I mumble as I take a seat next to her ." Have you hidden the dag
" You're crushing her . Loosen up . " Jace warns as Kayla practically squishes me to death . Perhaps if it was my human self , I'd be choking for air right now but since I have grown much stronger over the span of the past few days , it actually doesn't bother me in the slightest . Jace was probably concerned that I'd suddenly be bombarded with blood lust and I would end up tearing her apart . I may not be an absolute control freak but I'm still relatively accustomed to controlling ." I missed you too . " I laugh as she finally pulls away . I had no idea that I could get this attached to a human . All of my life I've mostly ever been around vampires and I don't mean this in a rude way but I just assumed I wouldn't get along with humans . I was wrong .Vampires , humans , werewolves etc . It doesn't matter who it is . At the end of the day we are all the same thing . We are people . No matter the types or the species , I'd like to think that we all have something in co
" Are you sure you want to go back ? " he asks ."Jace , I can't be stuck in here and hide forever . I'll have to go out at some point , besides , it's been a few days and I'm much better at controlling it now . "It was true that the slight temper issues brought on by the werewolf transition definitely ended up in me having a more difficult time with controlling my thirst than before but I was managing . I swear I was . And I was getting really bored hanging around in this hotel all day . If I'm going to be honest , being bored is a worse combination anyway so it's a better idea for me to return .This way I could finally have some distractions and also something to do instead of sitting around watching TV or playing some pool . It could be good in curbing my urges . Shouldn't I take my willpower out for a test drive ?" I'm not so sure about that . " he smirks .I can already tell he was talking about last night so I decide not to comment on it .
I paw at him to gain his attention . How do I tell him that I want to turn back ? He looks at me and raises his eyebrow .I try to feel the desire to turn back to my human self , hoping that he would feel it too and would let me know how . As expected , he hadn't put up a wall and realised almost immediately what I meant . I wonder if Jace and I will be able to communicate through mild link just like Alec and Michael . It seems fun , intruiging and more than anything a different sort of connection that I'd like to try out ." Step by step you need to focus on your limbs and visualise them returning to normal . Will it with your strength . " he explains , still stroking my fur . I try to do as he says and he gets up from the ground , walking over to a nearby tree . I was too busy to notice until he dropped the bag in front of me which contained presumably my clothes .Following his instructions , it doesn't take long before I slowly return to my original body . I
I scream as my arm twists in the other direction , possibly breaking and adjusting my elbow joint to match a wolf's . In my whole life , I have never felt such excruciating pain before . Sure there were moments that were particularly hard to bear but this ..I wanted to die than endure another second of it ." You don't have to feel it . " I tell him painfully with tears in my eyes . The searing burn and throb of a fracture made me drop to the ground and pant as my heart beats hard enough to rip out of my chest .Jace was flinching with my every move , every wave of pain caused him to grunt and grit his teeth . Why was he not putting up the wall ? Just because I'm going through it doesn't mean he has to as well . He's already done this before , there's no reason for him to experience such unpleasantness ( such an understatement ) twice ." You'll be okay , just breathe through it . You'll be okay . " he whispers lovingly in my ear , supporting my battered
