"What were you just doing?" I ask, staring at her, my anger vanishing with the lights."I... I was ... I don't know," she stutters, looking around glass eyed at where the lights were, "I was ... just ...""You had your eyes closed and then you were glowing?" I explain to her,"I was on fire?""No, it was different, like the lights but all over," I say, gesturing to her whole body with my hands, " Why did you shut your eyes?" I asks softly, trying to figure out how she did it. "I was just trying to calm myself," she looks around worriedly, "Elias, we need to get out! The fire!" "It's fine, don't worry about it," I tell her, I have a hunch and need to follow it, because if I think I'm right. "What were you thinking about when you had your eyes closed?" I push, standing infront of her with my hands gently holding onto her upper arms."That we need to find a way out of here, ELIAS!" she shouts my names as the fire behind us, roars at us as if trying to attack us. "Do it again!" I tell
Meanwhile, on slightly higher ground, looking down on the once firey scene, two figures stand, watching on."Well, that was ... unexpected," "I'm still not sure what just happened or what that was," A moment of silence as the two figures stare at the pack house from a distance. "Do we tell her?""Of course we tell her! What else can we do? She is waiting to be informed on the outcome, plus she's not one to cross, remember?""Yes, it still hasn't healed yet,""Well then... come on, they are waiting for a report, you know how she hates to be kept waiting." "She scares me,""Come on!" They race up and over the slight hill to where two more figures stand, waiting."Alpha, marm,""Well?" She asks inpatiently, "What is happening? Why has the smoke stopped?" "The pack house was on fire...""Was? As in past tense?" She barks,"Yes marm, it went up very quickly, but...""But what?" She snaps, losing the last of her resolve."We're not sure, one minute there was fire everywhere and then it
Elias POV A sinking feeling forms in my stomach as I walk away from Chilli, especially when I said I'd never leave her side again, although I'm sure the sickly feeling is from all the smoke and other crap I probably inhaled during the fire. As I leave the medical area I spot Erin with Leroy perched under a tree."Hey, Erin!" I call and wave to her."Elias? Is everything okay? Where's Chilli?" She asks all at once,"Everything is fine, she is in the medical tent now, that's actually part of what I wanted to ask you. Could you stay with her please?""Why? Where are you going?" She asks, "Maxwell has asked for me," I explain,"Oh, okay, sure of course I'll stay with her." Erin agrees,"Thank you Erin," I go to walk the way I last saw Maxwell go when I ask, "Leroy, come with me?" "Sure man," he glees, jumping up to his feet to catch up with me. "How you feeling?" I ask Leroy as we walk in search of the alpha,"Good, really good,
POV He is watching me, I can feel his eyes burning into the back of my head, it is so off puting."Pppsst! Come here," I can just about hear her whisper at him."What?" He asks, as I ease drop in on their conversation,"Stop it, your making the man uncomfortable," she tells him,"There's something about him, I don't..." oh crap, is he on to me? I need to get him out of here, but how? think, think, errr..."Could you give me some space please?" I blurt out suddenly,"What?!" He snarls at me, not liking the wording or tone I used, I guess, "What I mean to say is..." what do I mean to say? I need him to leave, but how, how? "the alpha just linked to me that he wants your assistance," please buy it, please, I plead in my head. "Really, oh, but we just saw him and he didn't say anything," clearly not impressed with the idea of leaving his mates side."Err, well, that's what he has asked, I'm not one to question the alpha," I lie my as
Weez POV (continues)A bead of sweat slides down my neck and spine, as I fight to stay calm and try to think of a plan to free our prisoner. 'I just need to wait for the perfect opportunity to present itself to me,' I think to myself as Bock berates me but I'm not paying attention or listening, I am too busy in search for a chance to do something, although I'm still not sure what that is yet. "Weez?!" Bock shouts, punching me in the arm."What?" I nearly shout back as she knocks me from my inner thoughts and I swerve slightly. "Pull the fuck over!" "Alright, why?" "Fuck! Weren't you listening? She is fucking awake already, need to knock her out again." This could work, if I play it just right. "So pull over!""Okay, okay," I spot a secluded spot just off to the left, so I indercate and pull in and off and away from the road."What are you doing? Where are you going?" She spits at me,"We don't want anyone driving past and seeing what we a
Elias POVShe has been missing for nearly three hours now and my anxiety is shooting through the roof. We and Maxwell's men have searched the grounds and surrounding area multiple time with no sign of her or really leads, we found some tire tracks over the hill in the dirt and some heavy foot prints leading up to it but thats it. 'Chilli?' I try mind-linking with her again for the hundredth time but still theres no answer, she must be still unconscious. I am losing my head, where is she? But, just as all hope seems lost, I hear something, a crackle in my head and the faint sound of a voice, fighting it's way through.'Elias?''Chilli?' I plead, praying its her, 'Chilli, is that you?' 'Sorry Elias, it's Erin, still no luck reaching her then?' 'No,' I sigh, 'did you find anything?''No, sorry Elias, Leroy and I will do one last sweep and then make our way back over to you,' 'Okay, thanks Erin,' and she ends the link. Not too long late
"I have to go!" I shout as I go to sprint to the woods, I need to find cover, I need to get as far away from here as I possibly can before she gets here."Wait!" He grabs a hold of my wrist, stopping me. I turn to look at him as he goes to say something else but then his facial expression drops and pales as he looks over his shoulder, the sound of a speeding car in the distance reaches our ears and panic erupts from both of us. "GO!" He barks, suddenly changing his tune and letting go of me, "RUN!" He shouts pointing in the direction I was heading. I run, not looking back behind me, as I reach the tree line I hear the screeching sound of rubber on tarmac and them the sound of a car speeding over uneven ground and then the vehicle squealing to a stop by the van. Followed by raised voices, shouting angrily, "What's going on? Where is Bock?" A woman's voice bellows, "Where's the girl?" Then, "find her! She can't of gotten far, especially in her condition!" In my cond
"Chilli, what do you mean 'now"? What happened? Lets wait untill the baby is born...""But that will be months," she complains,"But it will give us time to build our strength, our forces,""Elias no! Our child is being born in our home,""Home is where ever we are,""in our territory then," she adds,"Chilli, please," I plead. "No! I am not letting them have our house our pack, no!""We have no pack, no army" I try to tell her,"You have the winter pack," erin says,"Yeah," Leroy adds, "they are still loyal to your family Elias, its just they are scared, they need a leader.""But my father, mother,""Were defeated. I'm sorry to say," Erin interjects, "they need you to stand up and fight for them, they need an alpha."Weez POV "GO! RUN!!," I bark, letting go of her, realising what I want is not important, she needs to leave now. I can see and sence how fearful she is of that woman. I want to go with her, to sta
