CATRIONA
Open your eyes girl. The voice whispered into my ears. I opened them and felt a twing of pain all over my body. When the car rolled downhill, i was thrown into the back seat by an impact. This is the second worst death scenario I’ve ever experienced in my life. My hands were full of fresh wounds that were caused by the branches. Even lifting them it’s very painful. “Where’s Jayden? Where did he fell? I poked my head out and rummaged through the trees looking for any sign of him. He’s no where to be seen. Was he pulled out of the car by the branches and got stucked in them?
I pushed myself out of the car and outside crawling, giving myself a safer distance with the smoking car. As soon as I got out, the car burst into a burning flames. I watched in a daze as the car flickers in flames.
Out of nowhere, Jayden barreled to me barely and knelt down with a worried expression. I gave him a hug not minding the fact that he’s naked. He pulled away and asked me if I was fine while touching me all over looking for injuries. Don’t touch me like that, my hands are full of deep cuts and my body aches. It’s my fault though for wanting the fresh air that i didn’t want to lift up the glass door of the car. So the branches decided to punish me as if I’ve wronged them.
Can you move? He asked. I hope so. Okey, am going to shift and i want you to hop on and hold on tightly as soon as I do. He said.
You want me to sit on your wild animal, and drive on it? Is that what you mean? He nodded.
Do I look like someone who can drive on that scary animal? Catriona this is the only way i can get you out of here. As you can see the car is burnt, and my love , you should stop calling him a wild animal. He’s not what you think he is. And he feels bad whenever you call him a wild animal. We aren’t some kind of wild animals that strays around searching for preys or the living creatures to kill them. So i have to get you out of here before those wolves you saw comes again. He said. Okay, I agreed.
I widened my eyes drastically when he broke his bones and turned into his wolf. His wolf stood on it’s paws before me looking directly into my eyes. His wolf is extremely huge. Like extremely huge. I look like a playing doll before it. Lord, do these creatures really exists? Or am I still in a long deep sleep that I might wake up from? I still can’t believe that this is a wolf, because I’ve never seen a wolf this huge. Back at my house, I didn’t even get the chance to look at it attentively. It’s the most beautiful creature I’ve ever seen…. Thick grey fur and amber eyes. I raised my hand to touch and skim my hand through it’s thick fur but winced in pain as my hand stopped in the air. The cuts on my hands were too deep and painful. Jayden’s wolf tensed and stepped back a little bit.
Let me heal you my love. Jayden’s voice said. The wolf lowered it’s head and started licking my face. Aww, it’s disgusting. I said in my head as i scrunched my nose. It pulled away from my face with hurt in it’s eyes as if it heard me and felt hurt by what i said.
I didn’t mean to say that. I am sorry if you didn’t like what I said. I whisper-told it. It licked my wounded hands too, licking all the blood away. For sure it was disgusting watching it licking fresh wounds but I can’t say it out loud to annoy it. I don’t know why it’s doing it but i just let it do whatever it wants.
Now you’re free to touch me. My Mate. It said through Jayden’s voice. I lifted my hand again hesitantly that i would feel the pain but i didn’t. I was very surprised when i didn’t feel any pain. I looked up at it, “how did you do that? How is it even possible? Do you have magic powers of healing people? It just lowered down as to motion me to climb up. I gripped on its fur to climb up. It’s fur was drastically soft and calming. Before I could climb up on its back, I stopped deadshot when I heard a terrifying growl.
Stay here my love, don’t move any inch and close your eyes. Jayden’s voice spoke in my head.
In a distance, there were two other big wolves, teeth bared with disgusting saliva dribbling out of their mouth. I wanted to close my eyes as i was told but it was also temping to leave them opened. I watched in horror as Jayden’s wolf barreled over to them and ruptured them proportionally within minutes. My legs became weak and started shaking with fear and then tumbled down. I looked down at my shaking legs, stop shaking, Jayden told us they can’t hurt us, they assured us that they’ll never kill us. I said to my shaking legs.
That’s right my love, we will never hurt you. I gasped loudly and my body became numb as i saw his wolf standing so close to me with blood dribbling out of it’s mouth. I told you to close your eyes but you don’t listen. Listen to me baby, you are to stay with me forever, so you have to get used to this kind of things. Not in a bad way. Now let’s go before another murderous wolves comes again and kills you. Jayden’s voice said.
Ah, okay. I said and raised on my feet supporting my weight on the tree from tumbling down again. I gripped onto its fur tightly and pushed myself up on its back. Now relax and hold on tightly. My love. It said. I gripped on it’s fur for dear life and closed my eyes enjoying the feeling of its soft and warm fur beneath my body. When I got comfortable and relaxed, it started sprinting toward the direction I didn’t know. I really felt calm as I enjoyed the ride with the cool breeze of air blowing over to my body…..
Hope off, my love. We’ve reached. It said. Already! I asked as I slid off. Yes, were you enjoying the ride? Jayden asked. MMM, truth be told, i liked the feeling of your wolf’s fur. I was comfortably relaxed. I replied to Jayden without looking at his wolf. He’s happy to hear that he made his mate comfortable. Jayden’s voice said. I’m going inside my room to clean up. He didn’t reply me. I turned around to leave and that’s when Sandra jumped on me unexpectedly into a tight hug catching me off guard.
Welcome back girlfriend. I thought i was going to miss you forever. I thought I’d never see you again. She said. She’s my girlfriend, not your girlfriend. Jayden said and i rolled my eyes. Am here now but give me a minute of breathing. I said. She pulled away. Am sorry. She said.
I’m not so sure if I am happy to be back here or not. But i would like to be alone for some time being. Or days. Don’t take it personally, but I am still scared of you and the other people of this house, ever since I discovered your true identities. I hope you understand me. She nodded and gave me a smile. It’s okey, i understand. And you can take as much time as you want. She said. But before you go, are you okey? Are you hurt anywhere? Your clothes are all stained with blood. She asked.
I’m fine Sandra, we got into some accident but Jayden’s wild animal healed all my wounds. She furrowed her brows. “Did you say wild animal? ” She whispered. I told you not to address me like that again. Jayden said. I turned around. He’d already turned and naked. I started blushing to the sight of him and then turned away quickly. Am going in my room. I said to Sandra and run away.
I entered the house and stood in the hallway scared of going further as everyone’s eyes were on me. Why are they all staring at me like that? Did I do something wrong to them unknowingly? I stumbled backwards getting ready to turn around and go back outside but a strong hand gripped onto me. I looked up just to see Jayden holding me in his strong arms.
What are you all doing here? Why are you staring at her like that? He asked them loudly but in a gentle way. We were just worried about her Alpha. They all replied. I looked up at them surprised. “Worried!” No one had ever been worried about me, except my mom and Miss Oliver. Jayden signaled them to leave and they obeyed. When they left Jayden took me in the elevator with his right hand pressed onto my shoulders. His grip was very gentle and I liked the feeling of his hand on my body.
We got out of the elevator and headed in the direction of our bedrooms. Take your hand off me. Am going to my room. That’s not your room anymore. He said. Why? You changed it? I asked. Yes, i changed it. He replied. Your new bedroom is this one. He said pointing at his bedroom door. Isn’t that your bedroom? I asked. MMM, it is, and yours from now on. He said and I looked at him confused. “From now on?” What do you mean by saying that? I asked him.
From now on you and I will be sharing the same bedroom. All your things are inside my bedroom. Our bedroom. He added.
What…? Why would I sleep in the same room with you? Did you have to do it without my consent?
You are now and officially my Mate Catriona. Mates do most of the things together. And that includes sharing the same bed. He said and opened the door, not giving me another chance to speak. I also didn’t add on another word and entered. I went straight in the bathroom and he went in his closet room.
I started taking off my stained clothes and tossed them in a stainless steel pedal bin. I unhooked my bra and began to take off my underwear but recalled that I have a little vaginal bleeding and I don’t have any extra tampon with me to change when I am done showering. I wrapped myself in a big towel and opened the bathroom door.
Jayden, are you still in the closet? No answer. I entered inside and found that he’d already left. Wow, this room is magnificent. Everything here is in its place. And smells fantastic. There’s is another new, large laminate wardrobe that I think might be mine because of its beautiful design. I walked out and went into the main bedroom thinking that he might be there but he wasn’t. I want to use his phone and call Sandra for some help. I think he went downstairs. Now what should I do?
I went back in the closet to put on some clothes so that I could go downstairs. I opened the wardrobe and made a beam smile. It was well organized. All my clothes were neatly folded with too much empty space left. Why did he buy this big wardrobe? I looked at my clean clothes and my grubby body. It’s going to be a waste to put on these clean clothes on my grubby body. Should i go in a towel? No, of course NO! That’s totally absurd.
Ahh, Jayden said I’m his mate and I can talk with him using my mind or whatever they call it. Let’s try this method Catriona. I self-talk. Okey,
CONCENTRATE…
I cleared my throat…….
Mr. Jayden, am looking for you right now but i can’t see you. I wanted you to help me with your phone but you’re nowhere to be seen and i think you’re already downstairs. So incase you are and can hear me please respond or tell Sandra to help me with…. With tampons if she have one and bring it upstairs? Okay?
I waited to see if he would respond to me with a simple word like “OKEY”, but there was no answer. I replicated the same line, and still no answer. I cleared my throat again…. Jayden my Mate, my love, my hot boyfriend, do you hear me or not? No answer. I snorted loudly.
Did he lie to me when he said mates tend to speak to each other through their minds? Was he playing a fool of me? Let’s calm down Catriona, he might have acted like a dick but we don’t have the right to get angry with him. His animal might rupture us the way he did to those…. Omg, i don’t even want to be recalling that incident. It’s terrifying. Let’s say that he was lying to me and that I am not his mate. He just wanted me to stay in his bedroom to monitor me until I completely healed. MMM, let’s say, he wants to jump on me and get me pregnant again as soon as I heal. I heaved a sigh. I can’t believe that i fell in that dick’s tricks. Did he lie to me because he expected that my heart longs for him? Or, was it Gabriel that told him that i love him? That he drives me crazy, whenever i see him? No, i bet Gabriel didn’t tell him that because i didn’t tell him that Jayden makes my heart race rapidly to the sight of him. Yes he didn’t. They’re not the best friends to sit down and have a man to man chat. Should we say that he saw it in my face that whenever he looks at me I get invisible goosebumps. No, he fills my whole body with sensations whenever he looks at me with those beautiful blue eyes. Huh, I scoffed. “MATES, my foot.”
I got a striped tank dress and yanked it on me and headed out of the closet room toward the door. Before I could turn the door, a knock from outside startled me.
“Who’s it?” I asked. “It’s me Sandra.” Ah, thank God you’re here. I was about to head down to look for you. I said as I opened the door. Come in. She was breathing hard. Why are you breathing like that? Were you running? Yes, I did a little exercise. She replied. Whatever girl, come in. No, I won’t enter. She said. Why? It’s one of the strict rules we have here. Nobody is supposed to enter the Alpha’s bedroom. You and the Beta are the only ones that supposed to enter. She said and I arched my brows. That’s another piece of news I didn’t know about.
So you’re telling me that you’ve never entered this bedroom? Yes, and not just me but each and every person here. Wow, this house is full of wonders and mysteries. I didn’t know that your Alpha is really a…. DICK. I cleared my throat. Anyway, it’s non of my business. I was coming to you to ask if you have any extra… “Tampons!! She finished the sentence for me and swung them up. Oh, that’s what I was going to say. How did you know?
Oh Lord, I should not say this! She murmured. Say it, whatever is it, I want to hear it. So how did you know. I asked.
Okay, I’ll tell you. She said,
Well, when you mind liked with Alpha, he was having a quick meeting with some of the pack members through the open mindlink. She said. And so? I responded. Wait, does that mean he heard me in my mind the whole time? I asked. Yah, kind of. But it’s called mind link. She corrected me. So, he heard me, and decided to ignore me? Why didn’t he answer? Sandra cleared her throat. And her face tells me that she wants to guffaw. Sandra, am waiting, spit it out.
She cleared her throat again and looked at me, okay, but first take these tampons. I took them and thanked her. When you spoke to Alpha, “stroke mind link,” we all heard everything you said. ” What do you mean you all heard what i said?” “Yes, we heard everything you said. Like everything. “From the start to the end!!
