What to believe

Jade purs in my head, “MATE”, I don't think he Wants to hurt us Annette you should of heard him out. What have you forgotten what his father has done? Do you think I should forgive those things too. Before eshe could answer I growl out no, even if we have to give up the mate bond I will suffer I will never let myself become his my voice booms as I pace the woods in circles it has begun to rain and my fur is dripping wet. He will answer for his fathers sins. Don't let anger be the only thing that guide you remember that by rejecting your mate in return you could lose your beast you could lose me she whispers silently and I regret speaking in such a hot tone.

Let's not talk about this now we need to get cleaned up and return home, there are going to be thousands of questions and I'm not ready to face those redundant people. My trail back home was quick me shifting at the edge of the woods I found a dress store in the tree trunk that was once mines it's a little snug but it will do I head to the house and quickly make my way upstairs had that no one was in the living room to receive me. Once in my room I went and took a shower trying to shake away the ache that pulls at my heart the beginning of denying the mate bond. Now that we're so close its only right that we connect I know my wolf won't survive without him but tats the price I'm willing to pay.

I awake to pounding on the door. I jump from the bed, reaching for the door. I hit my foot on the bedpost SHIT I scream the pain racing up my foot. I hop up and down and reign in my anger. I pull open the door not looking at who is outside. WHAT! I growl out and then remember myself. Sorry, I just stubbed my toe I say as my eyes set onto Rick. It's OK! Are  you going to school today? I am I announce and peer at the time and instantly freak out its a little after 7am I slept for more then twelve hours. I hurry to the bathroom washing my face and brushing my teeth.

Running to the closet I pause as I see the new clothes and shoes in place of my old ones. I quickly grab some pants and a shirt and some pretty bright red flats to match the shirt. I go to my bed and slide into the clothes after I'm done I throw my hair into a high ponytail and proceed down the stairs. Rick stands by the door holding it open for me. Hey would you guys like a ride today Christine offers shocking us both. No we answer simultaneously, it's cool this just gets my blood going in the morning I lie looking to Rick.

We're cool see you guys later he says and she smiles grabbing her purse and phone suit yourself she says exiting before us. We look at each other confused she never offers us a ride she seems to be acting strangely yeah when does she not I reply and we both snicker. We leave-taking our usual trail to school his a few blocks before mines. You ok over there rick asks and I shake my head. Seems you've developed a sense of fashion his quiet voice jokes and I bump his shoulder. Seems someone isn't a fan of the rags I wear and call clothes I see. He holds his hands up backing away wellbi didn't want to call you out on it. 

We enjoy our usual morning banter and the walk is quick. Just as we near his school we first bump and I continue my trail. A call comes through and I answer without checking the caller id. Hello, is anyone there I ask as all I hear is breathing with that I hung up and moved a little quicker to get to school. Five minutes until the bell I arrive and ready to take my finals. Mr. Fink is my first-hour teacher and he is always in a sour mood. I enter and he smiles good morning Ms.Williams he greets and I glance behind me is this a joke I ask myself and smile back good morning Mr.Fink I reply back taking my seat and eyes still a bit wide.

He rises and passes out our test I count backward from ten and then I begin. Jade are you there I ask right after reading through the first step on the test. Yawning she answers I'm here, instantly silencing the alarm ringing in my head. What's wrong I'm not going anywhere it's ok? With that, I start my test a small unsettling feeling nesting in the pit of my stomach. I finish my test handing it in and waiting quietly for the others my phone vibrates and a smile stretches across my face. I hope you have a wonderful day and don't forget your beautiful JR.

That bastard thinks he can woo me and everything will be fine, Jade sighs inside me hurting thinking about losing her soul mate. Stop it Jade, don't make me feel worse than I already do. You know what we have to do I sigh I never imagined my mate would be the don of a monster. Jade falls silent as she murmursI know what we have to do. Glancing at the phone again I flinch just as Mr.Fink calls me again.

Ms.Williams put that away Mr.Fink glares at me angrily crossing his arms across his chest. I put it away and sink into my seat. I'm beautiful, he called me beautiful I sigh. The day progresses and I complete all my tests two weeks left before a graduate and I'm most excited about finally being able to let them go. Walking home from school I drop off the those resumes I prepared hoping for some quick responses.  Thinking about not even applying at global enterprises although it's my dream job. I walk alone home just like usual but what waiting for me at home I would never guess.

Annette my dare come here Christine calls as soon as I approach the porch. There's someone here who wants to meet you, looking pass her to the woman standing behind her I frown and my wolf growls to me. We walk onto the porch and into the house. Come let's sit in the living room she calls dropping my backpack at the bottom of the stairs and I join the group in the front room. Annette dear we have someone here to see you.

My mouth drops open. Selena, it's my dads sister the one who didn't want to get involved the reason I was sent so far away. What does she want I ask looking between my two step parents? She is your family dear you shouldn't be this way. I cut my eyes at Christine feeling jade about to show herself and calm down. She is no family of mines I growl out and she steps back a little.

Annette this is your dads sister Selena she has traveled quite a distance to see you and take you back home. Home, I ask looking questionably. This is my home, I do not want to leave and stay with a stranger I wish to stay here with you all. I whisper knowing that isn't what I desire either but why now why do you look for me now it's been almost thirteen years and if I remember correctly you didn't want this burden. Selena clears her throat we've searched for sometime but until recently we didn't know where ot begin our search your mother and father went through a lot to keep you hidden from us.

Alarms are going off all through my head now. Why would they want to keep me from you? I was there the day they sought you out and you wouldn't open your door locking them out and treating to call the police and turn them in. That's something I do not wish to speak with you about here. If you don't want to discuss it now then we have nothing to discuss. With that I stand and face Chris may I please be excused I look at him directly  and he nods with that I take my bag and I rush up the stairs slamming the door to my room shut.

Jade, is she really our relative I ask and she snarls, She is a descendent of the Williams tribe. What should I do I ask not knowing how to handles the situation? I sit onto my bed and take in my surroundings noticing that my bags have already been packed ready for my departure. I phone Javier but I get his voicemail, I hang up and sit on my bed quietly. Jade if what Javier said the other day is true I can't just go with her she may want to harm me or you want if the reason she is here is because she knows your awake or that I harvest a power a hidden power I can't trust her she could have helped before now something isn't right.

We will protect each other Jade responds full of passion. They don't know are true self either if she is here she is working for the enemy and I won't fall into her hands either. I'm  stronger than they know not the onega I played to be. Wejust have to believe in ourself I believe in you and our strength and what were destined to do I trust you Annette the question is will you trust me. I do but I have to escape I won't stay here I need to put my plan into motion if Javier and Selena found me I can just about guess who else will be popping up soon. The Dukes are money hungry and with a little cash, I can be bought quickly.

Tomorrow we leave and never return my vengeance will have  to wait for a short time to be sure my enemies are not closing in on me. If what Jade said is true Javier won't follow us and although he won't accept my rejection some part of me feels safer knowing the bond will grace me with his presence again one day.
