It has been a couple of weeks since Jess’s arrival and even though the boys didn’t admit it, it was clear that their plan to forget of Jess, was not working. Their wolves were agitated all the time and they themselves had a shorter fuse then they normal had. They felt irritated all the time, and their rest was nowhere to be found. It was clear that the distance between them and their mate had a big effect on them, but none of them wanted to admit defeat, it was against their nature.
The boys had a hard time through the past weeks and Jess also did, but for a completely different reason. After she was taken from the grand hall she was placed back into her old cell. Jess was left alone down in the cells and since she had no windows she didn’t know if it was day or night, but she soon found out the cells had a system, there was a very dim light that lit the halls, at night that dim light would be turned off completely. She was so relieved to see another person, since it had been two days with no contact with anyone, even though she knew that the person was a threat to her. She was still glad, she needed answers after that strange interaction with those strange people. She needed to know why they were keeping her, what had she done wrong? Everything was driving her crazy.
Sarah had come down the barely lit hall with something in her hand, Jess had jumped up from her sitting position on the cold concrete floor. Her wounds were burning with each step she was taking, but she didn’t care about it anymore.
“Hello.” Jess called out with a rough voice. The person was still not close enough for Jess to see. Her gripped on the steel bars tightened us the person finally came in view.
“Misa… Miss. I think there has been a mistake.” Jess called out to the woman, but she didn’t make any move to show that she was listening to Jess.
“I haven’t done anything wrong! I swear. Please is there anyone I ca call too, to clear up this mess.” Jess asked, the desperation as clear as day in her voice. Sarah gave a small smile in a moment of weakness after hearing that the human said that she had done nothing wrong. Sarah knew in hindsight that that was technically true, but the fact that the human didn’t know how wrong she was, was quite funny for her, but truthfully also a bit sad. Sarah did not want to, but she felt pity towards the human. Sarah regained herself and stopped in front of Jessica.
“Here.” she simply said and handed Jess a metal plate with food that in no means looked appealing. Jess made no move to take the food, she knew if she did then the only person that could give her answers would disappear in thin air.
“Please, there has been a mistake. I swear I haven’t done anything bad enough that should have landed me in a cell.” Jess said and took a step away from the steel bars, making her point clear that she wasn’t going to take the food before she gets some answers.
“Why am I here?” Jess asked and tried to sound as strong as she possible could, which honestly was as intimidating as a puppy in a bad mood.
“You either take your food or go another two days without it.” Sarah said in a cold voice. She didn’t sound harsh, more like a fed-up mother. Jess just stared at the woman.
“Please, where am I?” Jessica tried again this time her voice only held desperation.
“Fine.” Sarah said irate and moved away from the cell and started to move down the hall again.
“Wait.” Jess called out and moved against the bars again. Sarah stopped, but did not turn towards Jessica.
“I am sorry.” Jessica softly whispered. It was hard enough for Sarah to hear. She knew that she should keep walking away from Jess, she had given her a fair warning, but she just couldn’t. Sarah sighed heavily before turning around and moving back to Jess. She held out the food and water, without a word. Jess slowly stretched out her arms and took the plate form Sarah.
“Thank you.” Jess said softly with her head held down. Sarah didn’t say anything back. She knew that she had already interacted with the human to much, so she just left – disappearing back into the dim lighted hall. That was the first time that the Delta and the human had interacted and over the weeks, very slowly, they became acquainted with on another. Sarah didn’t want to get to know the human at all, but Jess was a very tenacious and hardheaded human. After weeks of asking, Sarah finally caved and told Jess to call her Delta and Jessica formal introduced herself to Sarah as well. Their conversations were never long, basic things like hi and bye, thank you and pleasure, have a nice day. Every now and then Jessica would ask if she could speak to who ever was in charge, but Sarah never reacted to those questions. Sarah understood, why the human wanted to interact with her, she was the only person that Jess ever saw. The guards that protect the cells on the A level were all posted at the exits and entries, so if it was not for Sarah, Jess would have no contact with the outside world.
Sarah had suspected that that had change in the last week or two though when Jess started to ask strange questions.
Am I the only one in these cells?
Do you come and watch me at night?
Does anyone else come here?
The questions made Sarah nervous that someone would possibly take advantage of the prisoner, so she started to watch the exits and entries, only to find that at night her alpha snack into the A level cells. The one who had put her in charge – Alpha Xavier.
Jess removed the loose piece of rock, revealing the pages she had hide so many months ago. She held them in her hands rereading the words that were already imprinted in her brain.One can change with the blood of love in a cup. Drink it all and make the ultimate sacrifice. A strong heart will prevail with a new beginning in a new life. The blood that pulses through the reborn will bond closer with those that have sacrificed it and internal happiness will be yours in the life on a creature of the moon.But fail and you will be met with an everlasting darkness, roaming around in the afterlife with no hope of return.Bee warned that only those with a brave heart and strong bond to those they love might survive and become one of the goddess moon children.Jessica read the page she already new by heart, she tore of the last piece of the page that held the outcome for when the ceremony is not successful and placed it back into her original hiding place. Knowing
Once Jess saw maya’s name, all the memories come rushing back, it was like a wave had crushed down on her and left her completed broken. Jess didn’t know how to fell or how to act. She wanted to cry and scream all at once, but she also felt so drained that she didn’t even know if she could stand up. She was completely lost. All her memories played at once. Xavier tormenting her in the cells, but then holding her tightly at night as the slept together. It made jess dizzy and disgusted. She honestly didn’t know what to do. The pain of Maya was still in her heart and as strong as ever. She knew that she never really saw Maya the night she jumped, but just those few seconds she wanted to believe that Maya was still alive, and that Maya was still with her, she wanted to believe that she wasn’t alone.Jess stood up from the ground and started to walk, she wasn’t sure where she was going, but she needed to get out of this house. She didn’t w
Chapter: Forty-threeThings change after Jess learned the truth of the boy’s past. She felt closer to them then before and they were more open with her as more time passed. Things were great between then. They would fall asleep in someone’s room every night, have breakfast together, always joking with one another and they spent almost the entire day together.Jess liked that she was learning herself with the boys. If it wasn’t for Matthew, Jess would have never known that she hated running and if it wasn’t for Joshua, Jess would have never known that she is great at lying when it come to sparing someone else feelings. She also learned that she really liked to make-out with very attractive men. Jess was scared that the boys would get jealous of one another if Jess spent to much time with one of the boys in particular, but they never did. They were genuinely happy for one another and didn’t mind sharing, which Jess was not go
Jess sat in the living room with all the boys. Joshua stood against the wall while Matt, Ray and Zav all sat in separate chairs. No one wanted to be the first to speak, but they knew someone had too. Jess had begged them to tell her what happened, what the incident was that everyone was keeping from her. She wanted to know, she needed to know.“You should know, the barriers around everyone’s territories where only set a few years, after this incident.” Xavier began telling the story, everyone dreaded to hear.“Our mom took us to the forest, there is a clearing we use to go to everyday just to play and hang out with her. We were in our wolf’s form running around when we picked up a strange sent, we never smelt before, by the time we ran back to the place our mom was, a gun shot went off. The bullet went through her heart and killed her instantly. Our wolves rode down in pain as our bond broke with her. We were so consumed with pain, that we
Jess, Raymond and Matthew sat in the kitchen, Jess sat on Raymond’s lap as she was rolling a piece of bread in her hands, forming a ball.“You have to catch this one, Matt.” Jess said and gave him a pointed look, before lifting her arm and throwing the bread across the room, hoping it would go into Matt’s mouth. The bread flew across the room and landed on the floor; it was nowhere near Matt’s face.“You suck at throwing, love. That wasn’t even close to my face.” Matthew laughed at Jessica. Who knew a person could be such a bad thrower even if the distance was only the width of a dining-room-table? Matthew broke off a piece of bread and rolled it into a ball as Jess huffed at Matthew’s statement. She didn’t believe that she was a bad thrower, but it was Matthew who was a bad catcher. He held up his arm ready to throw and laughed as he saw Jess shut her eyes and opened her mouth. H
Jess was so annoyed, due to her fight with the boys, she never went to eat that night, because she was determined not to see them, but since she was so angry, she couldn’t sleep that night either. She kept tossing and turning, her mind still focused on the boys. So, it was safe to say with an empty stomach and no sleep she was not in the best mood. The boys had also not gotten any sleep, their wolves desperately wanting their mates close to them like the previous night. The more Jess ignored them the more irritated they felt. So, when morning came and it was time to finally go to school, the tension was high. Jess hadn’t greeted any of the boys as she made her way to the floor below them to eat breakfast with Sarah and Mike. But none of them had an appetite with the foul mood they were in. Raymond entered the kitchen as Sarah and Mike put away their dirty dishes and instructed them to take Jess to school, because they were already leaving. Jess clenched her jaw and fist
