JaylaMy wolf's voice reverberates in my head, stopping me from faling into a sweet sleep. She is draining her energy to me, giving me the incentive and power to stay awake.But the thing is that I am too tired to stay awake. Her words slowly make sense to me and I understand that she can now talk to Chase. She can tell him the plight we are in.-Don't tell him we are hurt though, I tell her groggily, my voice almost fading away. -He will worry too much.-I am not sure whether she replies to me or not, but I can't hear it as I am now veering away from consciousness. But I know that she left to contact him because I can't feel her anymore.My wrists are so numb that I can no longer feel my arms. My worries are that the blood vessels in my arm might rupture, causing immediate death. Or my nerves in that region might die, causing my arms to paralyze forever. I might never be able to use my hands again.I am questioning everything. My life. My decision. What did I do to deserve this treat
JaylaI am sitting up when something suddenly comes to my mind and I decide to act on it.-Let's give you a name, I say to my wolf, my tone giddy with happiness.Her ears perk up in attention and interest. -Who? Me? she asks.-No, my new born baby, I say dryly, rolling my eyes in mock annoyance.She pouts at my bluntness and sinks back on her fours before speaking. -I am your child, she mumbles, giving me adorable puppy eyes. When you close your eyes and talk to your wolf, you can actually picture them in your mind. It is weird. They have the form of a wolf, but the intellect of a human and a voice quite different from yours.-Whatever! I chip out, chuckling. -Um, what about Bree?-Hmmm, she says, thinking about it. -I like it ... but it doesn't hit me like l want it to.-I nod. -What about Laura? I ask.She shakes her head and I sigh in mild exasperation. Then I start to rake my head for new and creative names. -What of Carmen, then?-I give her a pleading, expectant look but still,
Jayla-Mia, I breathe out. I really need her at this point. My throat feels dry and it is hard to speak. But thankfully I don't have to do that to talk to my wolf.She doesn't speak at first, and it is like she is in a state of shock. I can see her faintly, her white fur shining through my mind, but she is still, her brown eyes frozen.-Mia? I say again and she takes a sharp breath.-That son of a bitch! she says through gritted teeth.-How dare he touch us like that! she growls. -I will kill him!-I look at her with sad eyes. -I really appreciate your fervour, Mia, but I hope you know that realistically we can't do anything about the situation we are in.-I rub my forearms with my hands, wishing I have a loofah with me so that I can wash his touch away from my body. The only time I have access to the bathroom is in the morning for about fifteen minutes, in which l have to manage to do everything, including taking a bath.The water is always cold. Just like their hearts. But I want ho
Jayla"Wake up, you bitch!" he growls. I blink my eyes a couple of times before waking up completely, my eyes focusing on my surroundings. Once the world around me makes sense, I can clearly notice how beyond furious he looks and fear crawls into my heart.What is he doing here so early in the morning? Why is he so furious?"You think this is a joke?" he shouts at me, striding forward as he grips my arms and pulls me up roughly.I cry out in pain as his fingernails dig into my flesh and it stings because it has already been bruised."I told you to talk to your mate and call him here," he says in a low voice which is threatening."I did, but..." I start but he doesn't let me."But he made a joke out of it!" he growls before he tightens his hold on me and throws me to the corner of the room like I am just a sack of potatoes.My back crashes against the wall, and it causes pain to me immensely. Mia begins to work on healing it immediately.He throws the piece of paper in my face before
TylerSometimes, you don't realize how fortunate you are until misfortune comes barreling in. You don't realize how easy everything is until things get much harder. You don't think of how much you have until you don't have most of those things anymore."Do you think Alpha Jackson will accept your proposal?" Jasper asks as I am standing by the door, getting ready to leave. I am going to Alpha Jackson's pack which is a few kilometers from ours, and I am going there to ask for his help and that of his pack.I don't want to reply to his question. Especially after talking to Jayla's wolf, when she had told me that the kidnappers took Jayla because they think that she is the Luna and she has the access to some sort of precious stone or gem.I can't help but blame him in the back of my mind because if it had not been for him and his flirtatious ways, my mate would still have been safe. Although, I know it is more my fault than his, I can't help it. It feel like he is the cause of everything
TylerThe words which just came out of Jasper's mouth burn a fire deep inside my body, and my whole body burns in fury, betrayal and hatred.I clench my jaw and curl my fists up because of the amount of disgust I feel for this person in front of me who once used to be my best friend. But now, he is a freaking monster. A monster who uses people when and how he wants. I so badly want to punch him in the face and hurt him as much as I can and that is what I will do.Raising my fist high in the air, I deliver a punch directly to his nose and enjoy myself as an audible and satisfying cracking sound reverberates throughout the whole room."Watch your actions, Tyler. I am still your Alpha," Jasper says before he growls at me, holding a hand over his nose as it starts healing in a really fast pace which is hella Friday. I want to break it over and over again until it won't be fine anymore. His face won't be good at all when I am finished with him."I dont fucking care!" I growl and grab him
Jayla"No!" I scream, my voice coming out weaker than usual as I try to hit him on his chest to hurt him, but my arms are too weak. But I don't give up. I still try. I try to kick his shin to make him lose his balance.But soon my body starts giving away and blackness starts to come into my eyes. I blink through the blurriness, trying to get my vision back but nothing helps, and the last thing I remember before passing out is the evil, cunning grin on his face.***My eyes open and a long breath leaves my throat as I hear the door slam open. Shifting my gaze toward the entrance, I notice the outline of a familiar body making its way toward me. I blink several times, trying to focus but it isn't possible. Eveything is just making my eyes hazy.I feel a sudden pressure on my neck and a sharp scream leaves my throat as I am pulled up by my collar, and onto my feet. I sway on my feet, barely managing to stand straight when my back is slammed into a wall with a very brutal force."This fu
JaylaHe smirks evilly before he continues. "But now, nothing can stop me. Not even your wolf," he says as he grabs my arm and pulls me up. I scream in pain because my wrists are still not healed from the previous burns.He clicks his tongue and is about to say something, but his eyes fog over suddenly, indicating that he is mind linking the members of his pack.He remains like that for a few minutes, his expression flashing between anger and frustration and finally, he growls loudly at the end of it.His cold gaze turns to me and he pulls me toward the opposite wall of the cellar, binding me to the silver chains, like he always does when he wants to interrogate me."What do you want now?" I growl, pulling on the silver shackles because they are already burning and bruising the skin underneath them.But I don't even flinch. Pain has nothing on me right now. I am already accustomed to it. It is a part of me now. It is a part of my new life. A new part of Jayla Parker."You know what I
