Leaving Part 3

After about an hour the pressure resided, but it left my head throbbing. By eight oclock that evening a car had pulled up outside of the cottage, the head lights beaming on full that shone through the lounge window.  I watched from the window as Jake got out of the car and walked up to the door. He knocked, I didn't answer. He knocked again, I still didn't answer. 

Then the front door opened and he walked right in. He looked around until his eyes found me. 

"Why are you not ready?"

"I told you I'm not going."

"But Alpha said you had to come."

I stood there glaring at him. 

"Leave Jake, I'm not going. I have no reason to go so I'm staying here. Besides i'm tired."

Jake didn't know what to do. I noticed his eyes glaze over obviously mind linking Cylus. He looked at me. 

"Then rest well." that was all he said. He walked out leaving the door open, got in the car and left. 

I watched the car drive off before I closed the door. The car lights growing smaller the further it went. I closed the door and sat back down. But my stomach had a strange feeling inside. It actually made me uneasy. But I pushed it down and got ready to take my shower. 

As I stood under the shower my mind suddenly woke, tomorrow, tomorrow I would be leaving. Finally I would be leaving everything behind. I decided that once I crossed the border I would sever all ties to the pack and I would reject Cylus. I know it would hurt but it has to done. I need to make this a clean break. I needed to make this clean so me and my baby wouldn't be tied to any of this. Once it was done Cylus could never sense us. In fact i'm surprised that he couldn't sense the baby. 

"Sense the baby?" Azelea spoke.

"He wouldn't sense our pup, he's to busy with her."

I agreed, he hasn't given me the time of day since she's got here. Even worse over the past couple of months. I felt lighter knowing this was my last night here. 

That night I laid in bed wandering about the sort of place my grandfather lived in. Would it be a cramped appartment? or is it a house? Is his health good? or was he sick? Uncle Mathew never told me anything more about him. I didn't know anything. But tomorrow was the day. I closed my eyes and settled down to sleep. 

I was woken half way through the night hearing wolves howl. But they seemed closer than the day before. I got up and peared through the window looking to see if I could see anything. I was startled back and jumped a little when something ran by my window. My heart thumped in my chest. I looked out again and saw things moving around outside. 

I stepped back and walked around the cottage double checking the windows and doors to make sure they were all locked. A sound came from the front of the cottage. Obviously wolves were running around outside. I grabbed a blanket from the closet and walked to the sofa and sat down wrapping the blanket around me. The rustling outside didn't stop. I could hear them next to the door. I heard a couple of wolves howling right outside. 

By the time morning came I was tired. I didn't sleep all night. But I was so relieved today I would be leaving and never coming back. I got up and folded the blanket, I made myself some breakfast and took a shower. I started to pack the few clothes I had into the suitcase and placed the case behind the front door. I waited for my uncle and aunt to come and take me out of here. 

My phone rang and I answered the call. 

"Jayla, come see me in my office this afternoon. Make sure it is before two oclock, I have to take Janet to her appointment and we can't be late."

That was all he said before he ended the call. I didn't say one word. I called my aunts phone. It only rang three times when she answered.

"Hello Jayla."

"Aunty, We need to move, Cylus called just now he wants me in his office before two this afternoon."

"Ok. ok don't panic. Let me call Mathew, I will call you back."

I nodded only then realising she couldn't see me 

"O..Ok." the call ended. 

I walked to the kitchen and poured myself some water. My heart was racing. I needed to get out of here. The fear on why he wanted to see me. I couldn't risk going there incase he locked me up. Or even worse thrown in the dungeon. Goddess knows what crap Janet has planted in his head this time. 

I had just placed my glass down when my phone lit up. It was a message from my aunt telling me they would be here in one hour to get me. I felt the tension lift a little. 

That one hour seemed to go so slowly. But when I heard the car approach my heart lifted and skipped a beat. I ran to the front window and saw my uncle and aunt get out of the car. I opened the door and grabbed my case. Uncle Mathew took it from me and placed it in the boot. Aunty hugged me and put me in the back seat. 

We all took a deep breath and the car pulled away. I was finally leaving this place. 

"Ok Jayla. We need to move fast. Your grandfather has sent someone to collect you. We will head there now. Do what you need to do sweetheart then don't look back." 

Uncle Mathew excelerated faster as we passed the pack gates. Once we had left the relief I felt was unreal. But I still couldn't settle until I had severed all ties.
