Emily’s p. o. v
Pain. That was what I felt while I was being dragged into the woods by force.
My legs couldn’t keep up as I stumbled a few times and fell to the ground.
Jason furiously turned and faced me with a threatening loud growl that made me weep even more.
He grabbed my hand and pulled me up.
“Fucking walk mate. I have no time for shit like this!” He spat in a warning tone as I sobbed loudly.
What would I have done for him to treat me in such a way? Last night he wanted to have a family with me. Was it because I didn’t answer him properly when he asked for a pup?.
He held me gently and whispered beautiful words of love and protection in my ears until I fell asleep. When I woke up, he was in our room staring at me. I wanted to be closer to him that’s why I invited him to move closer.
But from nowhere he pinned me down furiously and bite my neck without a care. I was so much in pain and my head was aching badly. My eyes became heavy as I tried getting over the drowsiness I felt.
I had no memory of how he pulled me out of the pack house and into the woods.
All I knew was how I woke up. I was laying on the cold ground, under a tree and he was right there moving back and forth while growling loudly.
I tried to talk to him and calm him down but he grabbed me by the neck angrily.
For the first time, I felt fear like never before. He wasn’t the man I really admired and loved. Even my cries and tears couldn’t faze him in anyway.
He grabbed me by the hand roughy and pulled me to my feet. Before I could say a word, he began dragging me like some wild animal.
For the past one hour, I couldn’t stop crying and falling down. And each time I couldn’t stand up he growled at me.
I feared him more when his eyes slowly began to change to a deep shade of red.
“Jason please.” I sobbed.
He immediately halted his movements then turned and faced me.
I instantly realized how I had dug my own grave by calling him.
His eyes were red and the Aura around me was very intimidating. Something in me wanted to fall to his feet and submit in some way.
I watched as he took a step closer with a low rumbling growl.
“I’m sorry if I did something to offend you my love. I really I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to get you this upset. I’m scared.” I cried out while covering my face.
I didn’t want him to hit me or pull me like I was an animal. I just wanted to go back home.
A low sigh came from him. When I felt his hand on my shoulder I tensed.
“Do your feet hurt?” He asked softly shocking me.
I dropped my hands and faced him. His eyes were back to their normal color, and in them I could see a ray of sadness. His expression was calm but his frown gave him away. He was worried about me.
I stood there feeling confused with his change of character from a few minutes ago.
“Are your feet hurt?” He asked again. This time with emphasis.
I swallowed hard not knowing if answering the truth would make him upset.
“A little.” I lied.
He sighed then moved to the tree that was next to us.
“Shit.” He whispered when he sat down on the ground lazily.
He extended his hand and gestured me to take it.
I hesitated but slowly held it.
He pulled me on his lap and embraced me.
I froze and held my breath. I was confused but I understood a few things.
The first one was that he was taking me somewhere I had no idea of. The second one was, despite treating me badly for no reason, he still cared for me. The third thing I noticed was how furious he became whenever I called him by his name. He completely turned into a different person and inflicted pain on me.
There were only two things I could make sense out of. It was either his wolf or him were losing their mind and going mad. Or he wasn’t the man (Jason ) who I knew and loved.
Either way, the second one didn’t make any sense. So I was sticking to the first one. I once was told by Rhoyda how the wolf and its human were two different beings. She said the wolf was independent on its own. Capable of taking over his body and acting how it saw fit.
She emphasized how the alpha Wolf would be very different from Jason. She told me how his eyes ( alpha Wolf ) were different as well. The alpha in him had red eyes. Whenever Jason was upset, his wolf came out and protected or sorted everything on his behalf. The alpha in him had pride but above all wanted submission.
The alpha in him was what most pack members looked up to because Jason wasn’t very strong on his own. But with his wolf, he was the strongest in the pack. Because his wolf was the strongest, fastest, and very dominant alpha leader.
I coughed loudly and inhaled deeply. I almost forgot to breathe because of the fear I felt.
I flinched when he leaned in and rubbed his nose on my swollen neck a few times.
“Fuck, you still faintly smell like that bastard.” He whispered then looked at me.
I quickly lowered my gaze. I didn’t want him to be upset with me.
“Look at me.” He ordered coldly.
I hesitated but looked up and gazed into his eyes.
He lifted his hand and gently wiped off my tears.
“I didn’t want to drag you like that.” He said shocking me.
“But you did,” I answered silently.
He sighed then touched my cheek.
“You made me. You were afraid of me and you were about to run away. Right?”
His voice asked in my head. I quickly sprang from his lap and stumbled. Before I could hit the ground he held my hand and pulled me back on his lap.
“No. There was no way I was hearing his voice in my head. Right?” I asked myself in shock.
“It’s called a mind link.” He answered then stood up and helped me stand beside him.
“He didn’t tell you about it huh?” He asked softly then shook his head.
“That mark you have on your neck. Or should I say bite mark. It’s a mate bond. It’s not something we werewolf do anyhow or with anyone. We only do it with our mates, I’m sure you know what a mate is. The mark on you is a mate bond. It’s not only a bond binding us together. But it’s also a symbol that completes us as a whole. Whatever I think openly, you will be able to hear it. That goes for you as well. So we can communicate using our mind link. But there is also a pack mind link, which you get when you are initiated in the pack.” He said calmly.
Wait!. If that was the case. Then why was it that I heard nothing from him?.
“You can’t hear shit from me unless I allow you to or I want you to. And don’t expect me to tell you everything. There are some things that I don’t want you to know.” He said seriously as I frowned.
“And I made sure that the bastard can’t track you or hear your voice in any way.” He whispered as I frowned.
“Jason, what do you mean,” I asked then immediately bite my lower lip.
His expression turned to that of anger.
“Forgive me. I no longer know what to call you.” I said softly.
I still loved him and being stubborn wasn’t going to take me anywhere. I needed to find a way to go back to the pack and talk to Rhoyda. Or calm him down and convince him to go back.
He moved closer and closed the space between us.
“Cole.” He answered.
Then touched my chin and made me look him In the eyes.
“Call me Cole, mate.” He whispered then leaned and pressed his lips on mine.
I wanted to push him away and ask him why not Jason?. where were we going?. And why was he treating me in such a way? But I couldn’t. My mind became foggy as I responded to his kiss desperately. I curved my arms around his neck and pulled him closer.
