All Chapters of Silver Lining: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I take it and go to the bathroom to change. Everything fits me like a glove, this is way more comfortable than the other clothes. I put my hair in a ponytail, so my black hair falls down my back to just below my sports bra. I walk outside and Xavier’s jaw is on the ground. I don’t think he expected me to have a figure to look at. I am not too skinny but not as built as I used to be. I have gotten bigger breasts since being captured. He recovers quickly and clears his throat.“Let’s go, Beta Kylo will meet us at the compound to introduce you.” We head out of the hospital to a waiting SUV. Xavier opens the door for me to climb in first and joins me in the back. The car starts to drive, we sit in comfortable silence. It takes about 15 minutes for us to arrive at a massive building that looks like an old Victorian building, I love the style. There are manicured hedges around the compound. There are big double doors leading inside. The car stops and we climb out. Xavier leads me inside, an

“Kiara is our best hand-to-hand combater she is also skilled with guns and knives, and she has a bit of an attitude” he says with a wink at me.“Hey that’s not nice dipshit” she says with a huff and sits back down.“Next is Gabriella, we just call her Gabi, she knows almost every plant and how to use them for our benefit, she is part witch so don’t underestimate her, she is one hell of a good fighter. She will be helping you with your witch side” She is a tall brunette bit more on the feminine side, she has deep chocolate brown eyes and dimples, and she looks a bit shy but very friendly. She greets me with a smile and I can just see we will be getting along.“Then we have our brute force, Ozzy, he is absolutely brutal in fighting no one has ever beaten him, he is also really fast so you can’t run away if he attacks” The guy that stands looks like a giant at 7 feet and is very handsome though he looks Arabic with his dark skin, brown eye, and brown almost black curly hair, he has triba

“This room is yours.” He leads me to the end of the five doors to the right of the floor-to-ceiling windows where there is no name on the door. He opens the door to a single bed that looks fluffy with a light blue comforter and a closet in the corner of the room and opposite the bed is a bean bag. Next to the bed is a nightstand with a lamp on it. Above the bean bag is a whiteboard with a marker.“We don’t personalize our rooms much but we put our schedule up on the whiteboards so we can keep track of what we need to do. We all study in the main area and try to keep it quite so we can all concentrate. We usually have all our team meeting up here as well because it’s away from the ears. Let me show you the bathroom and how we operate in it. We have a schedule and times for each person to shower.”He leads me to the last door in my row near the entrance. There are 4 doors inside on one end of the bathroom and on the other end there are 5 basins with mirrors in front of them. The wall be

“I said no, did you not fucken hear me? Back the fuck off.” I say through gritted teeth.He lets his full aura slip out and pushes it to me so I submit, but the fuck I will. I am not submitting to him. He can take his aura and go shove it up his ass.“Sav last chance before I pin you and take a look myself.” He is warning me with a loud growl and the anger is radiating from him in waves.“I said NO!!” I yell again. Then he lunges and I am not quick enough to get away. He grabs me at my ankles as I try to turn and run making me face plant on the ground, and he pins my hands above my head with one hand. The other hand lifts my shirt up and he stares at my scars and the branding. I hear everyone gasp and I can feel the tension in the room, it is so thick you can cut it with a knife.“Who did this to you, is it the only place with these scars?” He asks angrily.“Yes,” I lei. I am not showing him my boob or inner thigh. I am so fucken angry right now, Amber is growling in my head and I can

“It’s okay, let it all out. You’ll get through this. You are stronger than what you think. We are a team here and we help each other heal through things. You are not alone, this is your family now” he soothes me gently and holds me tight against him.I just nod and wipe my tears from my cheeks. His scent is comforting right now and I feel connected to him in a way I can’t explain. I think of the twins in his presence and it almost makes me break down again. I miss them so much. They were my best friends and I know they were older than me but I loved them and never thought I would have to go a day without having them in my life. I wonder how they’re taking the news of me being here.Xavier holds me until my breathing levels and I stop crying completely. He keeps rubbing my back in soothing circles and his aura is comforting. I feel safe in his arms, I have no idea what is going on between the two of us but I don’t have the energy to even ask and dissect it so I just push it to the back
