JAYDEN
I stood still in the shower letting the cold water run down my body. I feel like I’m about to explode right this instant. I am so desperate to get my wolf back that I can do whatever it takes to get him back.
When I entered that witch’s house I thought I would come out with my wolf. But I didn’t expect that she had her own motives and conditions. And one of those conditions was to sleep with her daughter for fourteen nights as a reward for getting my wolf back, but I couldn’t think of betraying and hurting Catriona another time because of my wolf. I don’t know what her aim was when she told me that but I refused. When I got out to get my girl and take her back home, what I found her doing with my worst enemy friend was unspeakable. I feel betrayed. She didn’t have to do that to me.
I grabbed a washing cloth to wash my body but tossed it away. I’m sure it’s been used by many people that come here. As I was about to exit the bathroom, Catriona’s frantic scream echoed into the room. Without waiting another second I rushed out of the bathroom and went over to her.
Her eyes were fixed on the window frantically. I followed her eyes but i didn’t see anything that made her look scared.
Catriona, Catriona what’s wrong? She stattured while pointing at the window. That wom… that woman, what is she doing here? How did she come in?
What are you talking about? There’s no one there. I exclaimed but her eyes became wider. Baby, what’s the matter? What’s wrong?
Where did she go? She was right there, staring at me.
Listen Catriona, we are the only ones in this room. There’s no one else. She got out of bed and sauntered to the window. Something really must’ve scared the shit out of her because she would never and had never walked around me naked the way she does right now.
Jayden, she was right here, and when she saw you, she disappeared. She said and started checking behind the curtains.
Now I am getting confused here. What you’re saying makes no sense Catriona. There’s no one there. It’s just you and me. She gave me a long stare.
What are you trying to state, Jayden? That am lying, or stupid?
That’s not what I am stating, baby. Then what are you stating? That woman was right here. She was very skinny. She had blue hair and blue eyes. She saw me and I saw her. When she saw you, she disappeared.
I heaved a heavy frustration sign. Go take a shower, I am taking you back to Vancouver. I said to her. She closed her eyes and sighed. You know what, whatever? She said and walked around the room for her clothes. She stood still glaring down at her scattered and ripped clothes. She bent down to pick up her jeans from the floor giving me the perfect view of her gorgeous ass. Fuck, she’s drives me crazy. She snorted when she saw how her jeans were ruined too, by me of course, she grabbed my shirt and slipped into it. She got the keys from where they fell, unlocked the door and stormed out slamming the door behind her. What a day? I groaned.
A while later I showed myself out and found her in the car dressed in her clothes talking on the phone.
Okay Miss Olivier, I’ll be there in about 2hours.
It’s Okay Miss Olivier, don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine. And it’s not news to me anymore. I love you Miss Olivier. Bye.
She ended the call with a worried expression. Is your brother doing fine? I asked but her mind was somewhere else. Catriona…? Baby, talk to me. She jumped. Ahh, were you saying something? She asked.
Are you okay baby? Is something wrong with your brother?
No, he’s fine. He’s fine. It’s about my… it’s nothing.
Look at me baby. I know something is bothering you. And I am sure it’s not about what happened in the motel.
It’s…. yes, it’s about that. Now can we leave? I want to see my brother.
I glared at her for some time before I started the car. Whatever is bothering her is not about our little argument. It’s something else she doesn’t want to open up to me, and I will not pressure her because I also have a lot on my plate right now which i want to fix.
We exited the airport and she didn’t allow me to drive her to the hospital. We argued about that until I gave up.
I arrived at the pack house but the situation I found here was not pleasing at all. The men that were patrolling the area were all new faces. I barreled inside and headed straight to Jerome’s office, and to my absolute surprise he wasn’t in his office. What’s going on in my house? Where is everyone? I dialled on Jerome’s number and it went on voice mail. Something is not right here. I climbed up to Jerome’s room using the elevator and still he wasn’t there. Jerome being in neither of his two favorite rooms, and for the house being quiet made me tense up. I went downstairs to look for Vanessa and talk to her about the problem I have. And if she has a solution, at least for her she won’t have stupid conditions. It puts me on edge to see that every corner of the house is quiet which is very rare.
As I was entering the kid’s wing, I almost bumped into someone. I took a closer look, she was someone I know. Joseline? When she saw me she got scared. What are you doing here? Did you come to see Jerome? I asked her but She was shushing me. Why are you coming from the kid’s wing? She grabbed me by my arm and tried to drag me away, as to hinder me from seeing something. I looked down to where she touched me and gave her a glare. What do you think you’re doing? I asked her and she pried it off. Where is Jerome? I need to talk to him. She stared at me deeply as if she wanted to say something but before she could, I heard a painful groan inside. I matched inside and what I found was not pleasing. Jerome and my most favorite warrior men were tied up with silver chains, and from the sounds that are coming out of them, the chains are burning them. And to the side was Vanessa. What’s going on here? Am I still in the spirit world where I experienced and saw the unreal and real shit? When my people saw me they lit up and were all filled with hope but when I looked up at Jerome he avoided me. I know he must be hating and blaming himself because of this. But i know he would never do something so stupid that can put the whole pack in danger. I heard Joseline behind me and that made me turn around to face her.
What’s going on here? Wait a damn minute, are you by chance behind all this?
Absolutely yes. Do you have a problem with it? I heard her father saying. I turned around and saw him with a smirk on his ugly face, alongside his wife and sons.
What do you think you are doing here? I snarled.
Woo, easy Alpha, am not here to cause a fight. Am here for negotiation. ALPHA!
There is nothing to negotiate about. What exactly is it that you want?
I want the girl. Give her to me and I’ll leave and bring all your people in one piece. He said.
Did Jerome bring Joseline here without her father’s knowledge, because she’s pregnant? Even if so, he’d have taken her to the old house for Christ sake. Not here. And I told him several times not to bring her back here.
Are you joking or what? You can take her with you. She’s all yours, and I’ll make sure that she doesn’t come back here ever again. I told him while pointing to his daughter. I will deal with Jerome later but now the safety of my pack members are in my hands. This man and his family are all ruthless to do whatever comes to their minds without thinking. Their minds are not straight.
He sniggered at me. I’m sorry if you misunderstood me. Alpha. I don’t mean my daughter. though I am grateful to her because I was able to come here for what i want. Am so proud of you, my daughter. And keep impressing your father like that. He said to her and gave her a flying kiss.
I looked from Joseline to her father, and to her mother. What is the meaning of this Joseline? Did you trick Jerome by being pregnant?
Back to business Alpha. I’m here for one thing. I want your girl?
Who the fuck are you talking about old man? I sneered.
I want the human girl you mated with. What’s her name again…? ” Catriona.” Give her to me and I’ll be out of here.
