JAGGED CHAPTER 17
I was still fuming when Martha came in rolling a box, not just any box I noted. It was mine, my travelling box. Great, now everyone will think I’d just run off like I always do. I’d never regretted being an impulsive traveller as I was at that very moment. “how?......how’d you get a hold of these?” I blurted. She just gave me a kind smile, “Edward just had them brought in”. Edward huh, I thought ruefully, that debt will definitely be paid when I got out of here, if I ever got out of here. “well did he get my phone as well?” I asked sounding hopeful. She was quiet. “Martha?” “Arian instructed that you not be allowed any access to any gadgets until he orders otherwise”. I scowled, half tempted to march into his room and rip him a new one, but the memory of this morning’s incident kept me rooted where I was seated. My door opened again, revealing another female, no younger than 12, her brown hair so dark it could have been black, and she had these really big blue doe eyes. Eyes that we
JAGGED CHAPTER 18
ARIAN’S POVSHE looked like quite the sight though, without the usual privileges she usually has, her usually bone straight hair was like a birds’ nest, with a good look at what she was wearing I could already guess what it was that was upsetting her, but I kept my mouth shut and just stared at her. I liked the thought of her being miserable, I didn’t know why, but it was satisfying.“I should’ve known that he had packed clothes from my office closet, how am I supposed to walk around wearing blazers? Or dinner dresses?” she scowled, “oh but you should be grateful you got any clothes at all” I drawled, making a show of looking her pale blue blazer up and down. “can I at least have my phone? Or any of my credit cards?, I know you have them” she was looking exasperated now, I couldn’t help but laugh, the hoarse sound ripping from my throat, making it quite obvious that I hadn’t done that in a good while. “and risk you contacting your father? Or your pretty eyed boyfriend back home?” I sc
JAGGED CHAPTER 19
I panted as I slipped into an alley, leaning against a building. I dialed a number I knew by heart. Nathan.He answered on first ring. “Nate” “Dev?” My eyes watered at the sound of his voice, I closed them, “Nate, I don’t have much time” I swallowed “can you track this phone?” “Shit, I’m not at home, I don’t have any means to track it” he swore again “Dev, where are you?” “Italy” “shit shit, how? Who? Do you know where exactly you are? I can send a jet…….” he was still talking when the phone was snatched from my hand. Startled, I looked up into very angry Amber eyes. “Devonne” he said, or that’s what I thought he said, it sounded more like a growl. “I can track you anywhere in this world by scent alone, or did you forget that we’re mates?” He cocked his head, seeming to consider something before grabbing my hand and dragging me behind him. He was taking me back, I couldn’t allow it. I struggled with him “let go of me!” But his grip was like a vice and I could do nothing, but I didn’t
JAGGED CHAPTER 20
DEVONNE’S POVI don’t know how long I knelt there, I had the vague sense of something filling my head, my consciousness. It was all so crazy, I don’t think I’ve ever felt this much pain in my life before. There was a rushing sound filling my ears, Then all of a sudden, they were there….. all the blank spots in my memory, I was wrong, I didn’t have those blank spots because I drank too much wine. I remembered, the woman who injected me eight before I lost contact with Mela. My wolf’s name is Mela. I stood up and looked up with eyes that were not mine, a growl rippled from my throat. I was filled with anger that wasn’t entirely mine, that is until Arian stepped into my line of vision and I felt it like a blow to my stomach, A bond, confirmed by Mela’s own growl of “mate” in my head, even as his scent of Almonds assaulted my nostrils. With that Mela recoiled back and I could look out through my own eyes again, but the clearing was brighter, the air fresher, I could almost taste it. I l
JAGGED CHAPTER 21
ARIAN’S POVMY wolf won’t let me be, I mean, he always bugs me, but since Devonne’s wolf woke up, he’s been reeking claws down the walls of my mind. Literally. I groaned again for the fourth time that hour. Three days, for fucks sake, I’ve been trying to drown him out for Three days, he’s managed to keep me from bedding anyone. Hurting anyone whom I take to my bed, he wouldn’t let me sleep. ‘You’re being a child, you don’t even want to get to know her’ he said “you’re being annoying” I growled back, sweating from resisting the urge to go to her. An hour later, I gave up and just went to her rooms, she seemed docile enough these days that I was sure she wasn’t going to try escaping again. I’m still not sure how she managed to evade the guard I’d sent with them to the mall the last time. When I opened the door to her chambers, I noticed the scent….. or lack of it. I swore. I forgot to lock the bathroom. Wherever she was, I’m pretty sure she hadn’t left the building. So I followed h
JAGGED CHAPTER 22
DEVONNE’S POV And that was how I was stuck in this clearing after my cycle ended, not the one from earlier, a different one, bigger, standing in a defensive position. I hated this, it was like training with Lucas, only this time I wasn’t in love with Arian, I loathed him. I was only here because I needed answers. When I get the answers I need. I’m out. Mate or no. Ignoring the growl that Mela let loose in my head because of t he direction of my thoughts, I focused on my breathing just as Arian had instructed. I’m not entirely sure why he didn’t just send someone else to do this. “If you’re just gonna teach me to fight, I already know how” I said for probably the fifth time that hour “yeah I heard you the hundred times” he said, while I was in this painful squatting position, he was just sitting on a rock munching on a sandwich. I gritted my teeth….. answers, I was doing this for answers, but what were the questions? I asked myself and I blinked, because I couldn’t actually think o
JAGGED CHAPTER 23
DEVONNE’S POVMy face was swollen for days, Two weeks later the bruises on my face had mostly faded. Apparently I couldn’t heal as fast as a normal wolf. Which sucked, but I’m over it. I didn’t spend two weeks idle, what happened in the training grounds was enough proof that I had become rusty. I wonder if I could even fire a gun with that razor sharp focus I used to have. I spent my mornings going through my own routines, spent the afternoons and evenings with Arian, either doing his weird breathing exercises or sparring. If anyone was wondering, No….he wasn’t head over heels for me yet and I still despised him. Sometimes I do wonder if we were really mates, maybe some twisted hand of fate had decided to play with us. I didn’t believe in fate though. If anything, I took my own fate into my hands the day my husband died. Oh Lucas. Anyways two weeks later I was brought into the training grounds again, with the same bait of being able to send a single email to whom ever I wanted. I
JAGGED CHAPTER 24
DEVONNE’S POV “What? Are you crazy? She’s dead!” I exclaimed, ‘but you saw her, didn’t you? The full moon is tonight, you must be ready, the shift is pain like no other, especially since it’s your first time’. Somehow I’ve been here for over a month, it felt like ages. I knew the full moon was tonight. And I felt ready. ******It was nighttime and I had just taken a really cold shower to calm my restless nerves, I sat in front of the vanity brushing my hair, another thing that manages to calm me down somehow. Looking in the mirror, I saw that my eyes had began glowing, not shiny or anything, but the green was really bright. I brushed it off as nothing and continued brushing my hair. The forest. I needed…… why was I feeling like going there? Right….uh full moon. Okay. I put in some pants and a shirt and headed out. Barefooted. I went deep into woods, on and on and
