James’s POVI could not remember the last time things had been so happy and relaxed. The only thing that we were worried about was what to eat. I was still shocked that I did not think about fried chicken. It is my favourite meal, and I didn’t even think about it. I smiled as I looked over at Jill curled up on Chad’s lap. I felt like she was the little sister that I never had. I was worried about what would happen to her when she was on her own. I knew she was strong, but I also know that she does not like been alone. I felt someone watching me and looked over to see Steve watching me watch Jill and he looked worried ‘You ok man’ I decided to use mind-link, so it was private.‘Don’t try to change the plan’‘You mean the one where her dad gets us all to leave her’‘You know that it has to happen, she wants to kill him, and this is her only chance’‘you seem to committed for this to just be about Jill killing Aaron’‘I am committed, she needs to be abandoned so she can kill Aaron’I sho
Jill’s POVI was so confused, we had gone from talking Christmas to prom and then Chad ordered all of the boys outside. Victoria came and joined us on the couch.“Why do I get the feeling they are talking about us?” I asked“Because I think they are, why else would Chad order them all outside” Megan looked pissed“I am sure that its nothing to worry about” Victoria tried to diffuse the situation, what was stupid as we both knew that when Megan got pissed, she would not settle until she got the answers she wanted.“Then they can talk about it in front of us” She growled“Maybe its pack business, they are his two right hand men, or wolves, whatever”“I am about to work for him in his pack too, so why would he not be able to talk about it in front of me? And you will be his fucking Luna”“Well not really as he is going to forget me next year”“You will still be his Luna after all of this is over”Our conversation was cut short at the boys decided to grace us with their presence and came
Chad’s POVI have no idea what Victora and Steve did when they went upstairs, but Steve came down a new man. He was laughing and having a good time. He filled up a plate for Vic and gave it to her while she sat with the girls and then came back to get himself a plate and talk to me and James.“Are you ok man?” I asked “You have been a bit tense since I asked everyone to hang out together”“Yeah, I am sorry about that. I thought it was stupid to put off what we all know is going to happen anyway. We all know that Aaron will not back down. Victoria has told me that we are only stalling so that Jill can spend the holidays with us rather than been alone”“This will be the first Christmas where Jill will be able to relax and have fun. I want to make this special for her. I want her to be able to hold on to the happy memories when she has to go though the hell her father will try put her through”“I get that now. I promise that I will do my best to make the rest of the year as enjoyable as
Jill’s POV I was sitting with the girls laughing and joking. I missed this so much, I am not sure what Victoria had been up to but apart from Megan’s birthday we hardly ever saw her these days. “Its nice to have you back hanging out with us” I laid my head in her lap and smiled up at her “Yeah, what have you and Steve been up to? I feel like you are in a secret society or something,” Laughed Megan “Don’t be silly, I have been finding lots of interesting books. I am new to all of this, and I find it all so interesting. Steve has been helping me to learn as much as I can” “Well, I am glad that you will be spending a bit of time with us” I smiled at her. I looked over at Chad and noticed that he seemed lost in his own thoughts while Steve was talking to James. I glanced outside and noticed that the sun would be setting soon. I decided that I would like to watch the sun set with Chad in the spa. “I will talk to you guys later” I winked that them as I got up and walked over to Chad and
Chad’s POVMy god I felt so relaxed. I wish that this night would never end. I wrapped my arms tighter around Jill’s waist “I love you so much”She turned around so that she was straddling me. The sun had now set and put the garden in to darkness with just the moon and stars for light. “I love you too” He leaned forward and rested her head on my shoulder.“Its starting to get cold. How about I take you up to bed?”“That sounds like an amazing idea” She purred into my earI chuckled as I stood up. I quickly put on my robe and then held out Jill’s for her to slip on. She let out a small scream as I picked her up bridal style and carried her into the house. I was surprised when I entered as everyone was gone.“Huh” Jill look around just as confused as I was “Where did everyone go? We were not outside that long?”“I am not sure” I gently place Jill on her feet and walked into the kitchen. The left over food has been tidied up and put in the fridge, but no one was in there. “Maybe they all
Victoria’s POVI was happy that Jill was enjoying the time that she had with Chad. I watched them both go out to the spa with a smile on my face, but as soon as the door closed behind them Megan grabbed James’s hand and dragged him upstairs.“They are so going to talk about us” I muttered“Why do you say that?”“Its not hard to work out. They know that we are keeping something from them”“Well, the books are well hidden, and they would need to sneak into our room without us noticing to even try get to them. So, unless we are going to crack and spill everything, we are safe”He was right, I was just worrying about nothing. I just hated keeping things from my best friends, but this was for the best and everything would work out in the end. “Your right, come on lets go to bed. All this drama has made me tired”He gave me a wicked smile and picked me up and threw me over his shoulders. He ran up the stairs taking them two at a time with me squealing like a schoolgirl over his shoulder. He
Chad’s POVMan, the house was busy this morning. Thankfully this was the last day that we would all have to go into school. This was Megan’s Last exam, and then Prom was on Friday night. After that we would get to enjoy the holidays. I was in the kitchen making mine and Jill’s lunch when Megan came in.“Hey, you nervous about your last exam?”“Its French so not really important” She mumbled while looking in the fridge “Is Jill up yet? I have not seen her”“Yeah, she just got up, she was grumbling something about been glad that this would be the last time for a while that she will have to get up early”“That sounds like Jill. She hates morning” Megan giggled as she poured herself some cereal “You know we should probably start to chip in for your grocery bill”“Na, you are all here because I asked you too. I don’t mind paying for your expenses”Jill emerged from upstairs dressed in shorts and a t-shirt looking exhausted “You should have just bailed on this exam, its not like you need Fr
Jill’s POVAs soon as we arrived at the hall the cheerleaders and jocks all assigned us jobs. Before I knew it, it was time for Megans exam to end. I started to finish what I was doing and made my way to the exit with Chad, Vic, and Steve.“Um where are you four off to?” Carolyn stood blocking the exit“Megan’s exam should be almost over. We are off to meet her and then head back home”“But you guys have been such a big help, can you not stay till 3?”I turned to look at Chad who was nodding his head “I am having fun, I am happy to stay here and carry on helping set up”“I am with Chad, this is actually fun. I am sure that Megan and James will not mind staying to help too”“Yay, you guys are the best” Carolyn shrieked as she ran back to carry on decorating.“I guess we better get back to it then” I laughed. We had just got back into it when Megan and James came in. “Hey hun how did you go?” I asked while running up to her“I think I failed” She laughed“At least you already have a job
Jill’s POV I was shocked, it could not be my birthday. Suddenly the most delicious scent hit me, I spun around to find the cause and Chad was standing there. As soon my eyes landed on him Clair started to bounce around in my head ‘He is our mate’ She squealed Chad ran towards me and pulled me tightly against him “Mate” he mumbled against my lips “You are my mate, God I am over the moon. I missed you so much” “I guess we should return to the pack. I need to appoint the new Alpha so I can return with you and be your Luna” “Are you sure that’s what you want?” He looked at me worried “It is what I want. I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you. We can not do that if we are living at separate packs. I have already spoken to Tom, and he is happy to step in as Alpha” I took his hand and we started to walk back to the pack. James had come with Chad and was walking behind us with Megan. When we arrived at the pack Charles came running out to meet me with Steve and Victoria
Chad’s POVMy dad had told me that the best thing I could do was trust that Jill would succeed and wait. He told me that I should return to the pack as it was pointless to stay with the council. I had to agree. I was about to go and tell James and Megan to start packing when Jill linked me.‘Miss me?’ She chuckled‘Jill, shit are you ok? Did that bastard hurt you?’ I had never been so happy to hear from someone in my life.‘I am fine, and the big bad bastard is dead’‘Thank the goddess, I will sort out a flight and make my way to you’‘Clair wants to run back in wolf form, are you ok waiting for us? She needs this after living in fear for so long and no knowing what it’s like to be free’‘Of course, I get that. I will wait here for you, all that I ask is that you link me every now and again so that I know you are ok’ God the wait would kill me, but I knew that this was what Clair needed. I could wait a few more days, but when she returned, I was not letting her out of my sight ever ag
Megan’s POV I wanted to cry as soon as Jill disappeared, why the hell did no one know that he could teleport. It was not a common skill, you would have thought that it would have been documented. I watched Chad lose it at the council and I could not blame him but getting angry was not going to help Jill. I placed my arm on his arm and got him to return to his room so I could perform a tracking spell. I knew I could do one easily since Jill and I were so close. I pushed Chad into his room to cool down while I grabbed a map and pulled my crystal out from around my neck. James ran off and grabbed a pin while I started to chant. Soon enough I found her location and James placed the pin. I looked down at the map as James ran off to get Chad. She was in the middle of no where and on the other side of the country. I could not stop the tears and by the time Chad and James came back I was full on crying. I looked up at Chad “How are we supposed to get to her? Its miles away” Chad looked down
Jill’s POVI looked down as Zanes body while Claire sighed in content in my head. ‘You did it, you killed him. After all these years I am free to live my life’‘We did it, I used your claws’ I looked around us ‘I suppose I should contact Chad and then we need to figure out how the hell we are going to get home’‘I have a request if that is, ok?’‘You know you can ask me anything’‘Can we run back in my form? I have not been free in so long, I want to relax and let myself be in its true form’‘That sounds good to me, I will link Chad and tell him that he will see us in a few days. I am sure that Charles will be ok with the pack until then’ I walked outside the cottage needing to be as far from Zane as possible. I found a nice tree and made myself comfortable underneath while I linked Chad ‘Miss me?’ I chuckled‘Jill, shit are you ok? Did that bastard hurt you?’‘I am fine, and the big bad bastard is dead’‘Thank the goddess, I will sort out a flight and make my way to you’‘Clair wants
Zane’s POVI followed the Alphas back out to the arena with a smile on my face. I could see how scared they were. I was happy, soon I would be miles away from everyone with just Jill. I knew that no one else would be able to follow me. Even back in my time teleportation was rare and I was the only witch I knew who could do it. They could always get a vampire to follow me, but they would need to know where I was first. I stood waiting patiently while the sentences were given to the Alphas. Finally, after they all cried like the bitches, they were it was my turn.“Zane, you do not have a title we can take, or any loves ones who might want to come and visit you. The council does not agree with the death sentence even though I disagree and think that you should be killed for the death of our king. So, your punishment I feel is too light and that will be 50 years locked up here in solitary with no windows” Brad smiled at me.“I decline your punishment” I laughed as he turned to face Jill “
Chad’s POVI was in shock, one minute Jill was right by my side and the next she was gone and so was Zane. I walked over to Pete and wrapped my hand around his throat and picked him up of the ground “Where the hell did he take her and why the fuck was his not restrained”Pete clawed at my hand and started to turn purple.“He can not talk if he can not breath” Brad tried to reason with me.I turned on him and dropped Pete “You let this happen, now tell me where the fuck he had taken Jill?”“We did not know that he could teleport, I am sorry”“I do not need your fucking apology, I want to know where they are?”“I can track her” Megan put an arm on my shoulder “Lets go back to your room, I will track her while you and James sort everything out that we will need to get her” She took my arm and started to drag me away “They wont be able to help as I don’t think they have a clue where he is. I believe them when they said that they did not know that he could teleport. Its not a skill that ma
Jill’s POVI noticed that Chad seemed distracted, I looked and noticed him watching Brad who was talking to Pete and a guard. I am sure that was the same guard who had taken Zane back to his room. When I asked him what was wrong her told me that he had a bad feeling that they were up to something. Since I had seen them talking to the guard I was on the same page. I quickly shifted my ears so that I could listen in to what they were saying. Thankfully Chad did not try to talk to me about the fact I could shift just my ears, so I was able to focus on what was been said.Pete ‘They only want to give them 30 years’Brad ‘did you let him take the key?’Guards ‘Yes the idiot thought I didn’t notice, does he think we are not trained well’ he laughedPete 'Are you sure that he will go after Jill?’Brad ‘He will definitely go after her’Pete ‘And she will be able to kill him? I don’t like the idea of him getting away’Brad ‘You saw her at breakfast, she is pissed at him, and she wants him dead
Chad’s POVAfter Zane and the Alpha’s where taken away I noticed that one of the guards walked over and started talking to Brad and Pete. Usually, I would not think anything off it, but while they were talking they all kept looking over a Jill. I had a feeling that something was about to go down and that Jill would end up been in the middle of it without her knowledge. Jill noticed where I was looking “Are you ok?”“I have a bad feeling that they are planning something”She looked closely at where the guard was talking to Brad and Pete, suddenly her ears shifted into her wolf ears. I was in shock, how the hell was she able to suddenly do this stuff? Her ears turned towards them as she focused on them, and I knew she was listening in to their conversation. Now that was a skill that would come in very handy. I waited patiently till she shifted her ears back to normal. “Your right, come with me. I want to talk somewhere private”“Ok lets go back to our room quickly” I took her hand, and
Zane’s POVI was in a dark cell alone with no windows. I tried to figure out how much time had passed and failed. I could hear the other Alphas complaining and begging to be let out. They were so weak, and it sickened me. I don’t think that I had been here too long, I don’t think that they would keep us long without offering a trial. We had to have a chance to explain ourselves. I knew that as soon as they got the chance the Alpha’s would blame me, they were gutless and unable to take the blame for their own actions. I on the other hand do not feel like I did anything wrong. Humans are nothing to us so what does it matter if I played with them and made money. As for Jill as far as I was concerned she was mine. Her parents signed a contract stating that she would marry me and be mine when she was Clair. She was the one who broke the contract by mating with that wolf. I laid down and started to relax on the bed, soon the other Alphas went quiet. I was assuming that they had all fallen a
