Carrie POV Hearing I belonged to Jackson was melting my hardened heart, but I reminded myself I needed to be practical. He has the best of intentions; however, I knew not to trust intentions. At one time Adam tried to convince me he had good intentions, but he quickly destroyed that illusion when he showed his true colors. “You shouldn’t make promises you cannot keep,” I say to Jackson stepping away from the doctor and moving to go around Jackson back to Jessica and Mandy. Before I can move away from Jackson, he grabs my arm pulling me back into his arms, so I am flush against his hard body. I feel the sparks between us. More shocking I feel a sense of desire I have never felt for a man before. My heart is starting to beat faster in excitement, and I see Jackson move a little closer to me, so he is looking straight into my eyes. “I only make promises I can keep,” he says sending a chill of excitement down my spine. I feel like we are the only
Carrie POV The three of us talk away as anxiety builds inside of me. Wondering what is happening with the Beta and hoping they figure something out. We are talking about our plans if things do not go as hoped. Both women are prepared to go with me, regardless of how much I plead with them to not do so. I want them safe, and they will not be safe on the run with me. Hearing footstep approaching the door, as I have for the past couple hours, I watch the door intently. I see the door start to swing open and my breath catches until I see Jackson walking through the door. Christian is directly behind him; Jackson walks over to me immediately. “How are the three of you doing?” Jackson asks. “You are looking at it,” Mandy replies quickly. “Have you planned your escape yet?” Christian asks with a smirk. The three of us look a little guilty as Jackson chuckles. “Did you think the guards could not hear you? They were quite concerned that you were go
Carrie POV “We mark one another,” Jackson replies. I look at him with shock on my face. “How is that possible? Adam already marked me,” I comment looking away confused with what he was proposing. “Did you not look at yourself in the mirror? Your mark is fading quickly,” he comments to me. I look at him in surprise before standing and rushing to the washroom. I look in the mirror. He was right. The mark was almost non-existent. When a chosen mate marks one another the marks are simply the points our fangs make in our skin. Unlike a fated or second chance mate, where we get a design for a mark signifying the tying of two souls blessed by the Moon Goddess. I touched the mark that had tortured me for the past two years and feel tears rise in my eyes. The bumps that used to be there were shrinking quickly. I feel Jackson at the door of the washroom, “If I mark you, it will disappear entirely and be replaced by my mark,” he promises as he watch
Carrie POV Terrified, I am pushed forward by the two warriors who are protecting me. Feeling my heart in my throat, I know I am a risk not having my wolf. I try to stop being pushed along as I realize the women are at risk, “Wait, what about Mandy and Jessica?” I scream wanting to get to them. Wanting them to be with me. “Luna, they are safe at the hospital. We need to get you to the safe room so we can go help the others,” a distressed warrior says to me. Realizing I was causing more problems, I allowed the warriors to guide me down the halls and then down to the basement. I started to feel a higher level of anxiety as it felt like being dragged to the dungeon. As I started to waiver, the warrior tossed me over his shoulder, “Sorry, Luna,” he mutters as the other warrior moves ahead putting in a code to open the safe room. He gently puts me down inside the room moving to leave me alone. “Wait! How will I get out?” I demand feeling nauseous
Jackson POV Holding Carrie tightly the others step away from us to give us some privacy. There was now a mess to clean up and I knew my people would take care of it. Leaning back slightly I look down to Carrie. She is still trying to hide in my neck, “Baby, I need to know that you are alright,” I murmur to her. I see the red handprint on her face and wish I could kill that fucker again. I tilt her chin up, so she is looking at me. I see the tears in her eyes and lean forward to kiss her forehead. “Can you tell me what happened?” I ask her gently. She moves back closer to me, “I saw you on the monitor. I thought they were going to kill you,” she says to me. Realizing she had seen all the fighting and would have seen the wolves coming for her would have added to the terror she faced. “I am sorry you had to see that. I am fine. Our Pack is fine,” I assure her. “Are you sure? There is blood on you,” she comments as I look down at myself. “
Carrie POV Stretching and uncurling my toes from that earth shattering moment I cannot believe I had missed this all along. How was it possible one moment with Jackson was changing my views on being intimate? I admit I had been nervous not knowing what to expect. I had always only experienced discomfort and I was nervous about the moment I knew was coming. But a part of me was starting to anticipate what was next. I watch Jackson remove his clothing. He tosses his shirt aside before moving to the button of his jeans. Before he can undo them, I sit up and he pauses waiting for my signal. I loved that he was so attentive to my needs and what I wanted. I reached my hands across to him slowly waiting for his permission. He smiles encouragingly putting a hand in my hair letting me take my time. I stand in front of him and smile as I look down and slowly undo his zipper against his hard cock. I feel him take in a breath of air as I see the zipper
Carrie POV I look at Jackson confused, “What do you mean?” I ask. “You could not have marked me if you did not have your wolf, baby. Try talking to her,” he suggests as a slow smile comes across my face. “I did not even realize,” I murmur as I tentatively reach out to Reba, my wolf. “Reba?” I ask, holding my breath for her to respond. “Carrie?” I hear back. It is a faint whisper. Like hearing from someone who had not spoken for some time. I know I am beaming as my smile grows, and Jackson is smiling back at me. “Where have you been?” I ask her cautiously not wanting to scare her away. “I am so sorry I left you, Carrie. I felt so helpless and useless, I faded away to almost nothing in the back of your mind. I could not protect you nor could I protect myself. They gave us something that kept me supressed all this time,” she says softly. “What?!?” I exclaim. “What was it?” I ask her. “I do not know but it was not just normal wolfsbane. It
Mandy POV I watch Jessica leave the room wanting to call her back. I know she needs her rest as well. She tries to hide it, but she was attacked as well by that fucking Beta. If only I was a little bigger and stronger, maybe I could have fought back. I needed to get out of here. I think Carrie is going to end up staying with her mate. I cannot stay here, and risk being rejected again. I know my wolf will not survive and if she does not, I will not survive without her. Remembering my first rejection always brought so many emotions. Fear, hurt, disbelief, but mostly the reality that he was right. I was not strong enough to be his mate. His chosen mate beat the crap out of me when I tried to kill her. I woke up broken in the dungeons, only to take further abuse. Tortured for days. Scars all over my body. Scars made by silver. Scars that would never leave and are a constant reminder of my failure as a mate. And then being tossed out like
