Chased By The Light Chapter Ten
After a large yawn and stretch, I rubbed my eyes before opening them. The gorgeous smell of pancakes and bacon filled my room and I couldn’t wait to get downstairs to stuff my face. I was unusually hungry this morning and I would definitely be putting my morning run back an hour or two so I could have breakfast first. There was no way I was missing out on mom’s signature breakfast; she made the most delicious pancakes.I threw my covers off and ran into my bathroom to pee, shower, and get dressed. I rushed through my hygiene routine because I didn’t want my food getting cold and I knew I couldn’t rock up to the dining table in my pajamas—my mom would never allow that. As laid back as she was normally, when it came to presentation, she was a drill sergeant. She always said that you never knew who could come knocking, so we always needed to look our best. Today was one of those days that proved her correct, because just as I made my way towards the stairs, there was a knock on the door.

I didn’t know whether I should yank open the door and confront the pair of them, sit back down and finish my breakfast, or run out there and straight up to my bedroom to cry my eyes out. I was feeling so many different emotions all at once that I couldn’t focus on just one at a time and be able to address it. The anger was bubbling up so much inside me, that it felt like I was a volcano just about ready to erupt. It was so overwhelming that my body began to shake and tears slid down my cheeks. I wasn’t crying as such; it was just like I couldn’t control my own eyes.On top of the anger, I was also feeling sadness and betrayal. I was so upset with the fact that my dad had set up an arranged marriage. I never thought he would go behind my back, let alone with something so important in my life. Getting married was a major step and commitment in someone’s life. I have always assumed that the decision as to when and whom I’d marry would be mine and mine alone. Especially since my mom had k

After shouting out about the two blonde wolves, I bombarded my mom and Austin with questions. "What happened?" I asked my mom but didn't give her a chance to answer. Turning to my brother I asked, "Do we know two blonde wolves?" He shot a worried glance at my mom, then shrugged his shoulders. "Well, I have met a bunch of our wolves and they're all brown or black like you, mom and dad," I said, and he nodded in agreement before glancing at our mom again. I knew that they were keeping things from me, but my family were experts at keeping secrets. I mean they kept all that Scion and werewolf crap away from me for my entire life. So, if they didn't want me to know, then I wasn't going to know. "Look, I know you're keeping stuff from me ..." I glared at the pair of them, then snapped, "again!". I hated the fact that they wouldn't tell me anything about the wolves in my dream, but their reactions told me all I needed to know. They were real. I dropped the subject as soon as my father

I shook my head, trying to shake his words from my mind, but it didn’t work. They swirled around and around like a tornado, throwing every other thought out of my mind, until I couldn’t think of anything else. I stopped shaking my head and sat there staring blankly at the wall. I couldn’t believe it. I hadn’t even slept with Kyle, so why would I sleep with anyone else? I closed my eyes and put my fingers to my temples, trying to make myself remember what had happened at Murston, but my mind was blank.I huffed, while dropping my hands onto the bed. After lowering my head and opening my eyes to stare at the floor, I began to speak,“I'm really sorry, Kyle. I can’t remember what happened at Murston. I don’t even remember us breaking up. I can’t recall how I got there or what I did while I was there.”“I know. Your parents told me that they had to fill in the blanks after your accident, but you weren’t in contact with them much while you were at Murston, so they didn’t have much to tell

I was finishing up my shift at Aurora's bar and couldn’t wait to get off my feet because they were absolutely killing me. It had been a busy night and all I wanted to do was go home, take a bath, and curl up with a good book. As I stacked the last of the freshly dish-washed glasses on the shelf, I heard the bell chime at the front door. I rolled my eyes and huffed. It wasn’t the first time I’d forgotten to flip the closed sign around and lock the door before cashing up. Usually, I would have served the late customer one drink then send them on their way, but I was exhausted and couldn’t be bothered entertaining the drunks tonight.“I'm just closing up!” I shouted out, not even bothering to turn and look at who'd walked in.The guys were rowdy and paid no attention to my statement. They’d either not heard me, or chose to ignore me. Either way, they were getting kicked out, even if I had to ring Kyle and get him to come down and throw them out. To be honest, the customers were pretty go

I could feel every bump in the road, and each time the car went over one my body lifted into the air, making my head smash into the trunk of the car. As if my head didn’t hurt enough from whacking it on the floor in the bar and the punch to my face. If I ever did make it out of the vehicle alive, I bet I’d look like the female version of the elephant man. With my head pounding and ears ringing, I could only make out voices within the car, but I couldn’t work out who was speaking or what they were saying.The car was travelling pretty fast, but I had no idea how long we'd been on the road or where we were heading. I just hoped that Kyle had gotten off of his whore long enough to tell my dad that I was missing. We'd been engaged for a year now and Kyle wasn’t happy about the wait. He'd wanted us to get married shortly after proposing to me, but I refused. I wanted to wait as long as possible, because although I did want to marry him and start our lives together, I didn’t want to lose my

I’d never heard his voice before and although it was drenched in dominance and danger, it was strangely comforting. It shouldn’t have been and I should have been petrified. I mean, I was shackled to an unknown Alpha’s bed and completely at the beast’s mercy, for Christ’s sake But my body was inexplicably drawn to him, nonetheless. I couldn’t believe that my head and my body were in a deadlocked fight against each other. I had no idea what my body was doing. I had no control over it. He was controlling me somehow. There was no way the pleasurable thoughts I had about him choking me were real. They couldn’t be. I thought about how they could have drugged me while I was knocked out. Or how I remembered them talking about witches earlier. Maybe it had something to do with that? Either way, I needed to pull myself together.His hand slid down from my face and rested on my neck for a while and didn’t flinch. I could, however, hear that his deep and laboured breaths were coming closer to me.

Carina peered at me like I’d lost my mind and it made her incredibly uncomfortable. She shifted around in her seat and looked as if she wanted to run away from the situation, like an animal ready to bolt down a hole to escape a predator. I needed to calm her down and make her feel safe in my company, let her know that whatever she said wouldn’t leave the room. I sat back and relaxed my posture, but it didn’t ease the tension. I decided that I needed to make myself more vulnerable than she felt and I had the perfect plan.“Carina?” She glanced up at me, clearly nervous with what I was about to ask her. “Would you possibly be able to run me a bath please?”Her eyes widened then smiled when she released the gulp of air she'd been holding in.“Of course, Aubrey. I’ll do that right away.”She practically jumped out of her chair and scurried off and into the bathroom. I could hear her turning on the taps and opening bottles and it made me curious to see what she was doing, so I stood up and
