“Look, I don’t know what else to do with you anymore, how to help you. Damien wants to try so let him” He said his voice shocking me back to him, as his voice boomed in my head.
I cut the mind link.
“Believe me now?” He said. I glared at him. Why did this arsehole have to come in and mess my life up, none of this would have happened if he never stepped foot here? I crossed my arms pissed off. Happy fucking birthday to me, I thought. I knew tomorrow was going to be a disaster already. What a way to wake up on your birthday with a fucking Alpha I wanted nothing to do with.
“How did you do it? How did you get her to stop?” I asked.
“I didn’t do anything Lily”
“Bullshit now my dad thinks you’re gonna save my wolf or some shit, stop meddling in my life. I don’t want to be here with you. Why can’t you see that, just let me leave or I will break down the fucking door Damien”
I watched as he walked over to his bag that was resting on the armchair in the corner of the room. He pulled out a set of handcuffs. He can’t be serious. He dropped them on the bed next to me.
“I know you won’t willingly shift to get out of those, so either you stay, or I will cuff you to the bed” He said, his voice not even wavering as I looked down the silver hand cuffs.
“Who the hell carries handcuffs around with them”
“I don’t, Aria gave them to me, we knew you would carry on when we told you. So, what will it be Lily? The cuffs or are you going to behave?”
I growled lowly in the back of the throat not liking either option. I moved to the bed sitting down on the edge of it, half the day passed already, and the house was starting to quiet down. I heard someone knock on the door. I stood up thinking it was my chance to escape. Zane’s scent hitting my nose as Alpha Damien opened the door before looking at me.
“Sit down Lily. Now” He said, glaring at me, I felt his Alpha voice roll over me and Layla submitting to it right away forcing me to sit. “What are you doing , Layla, we don’t need to submit to him” I growled annoyed at her.
She didn’t answer and just moved to the back of my mind. Zane handed a tray to him and I could smell that it was dinner, my stomach growling embarrassingly. Damien shut the door and placed the tray on the bed, it was steak chips and salad. I was starving but refused to eat. Damien grabbed one of the plates and sat it on my lap.
“Eat you will heal faster” His voice was full of demand as he waited for me to take the knife and fork from him. I glared at him and he raised an eyebrow like he was daring me not to do as I was told.
I snatched the knife and fork from him, we sat and ate quietly watching the TV which was on the news. When we were finished Alpha Damien unlocked the door before walking out, locking it behind him. I got up, now was my chance. I could hear Layla whining in my head as I walked over to the window and opened it.
I jumped from the window, my ankle twisting on impact. “Serves you right” Layla taunted in my head. I growled back at her before running into the trees. My body protested as I forced myself to run. When I heard the howls.
“Why was my father still here?” I thought as I heard his wolf in my head.
“Get back here Lily” He warned. I thought it was odd he actually sounded angry at me, which was unusual for my father, no matter how much I have ticked him off he never growls at me like that. I could hear Aria chasing after me and decided to give up, she would catch me in a heartbeat. I slumped down on a log. I watched as she darted past before backtracking and standing in front of me.
Placing her hand on her hips and staring down at me like I was being a naughty child. Damien walked through the trees, not even bothering to shift. My father’s wolf came up behind me.
“Where do you think you’re going Lily, Damien told you not to leave and as soon as he turns his back you run” I roll my eyes at her.
“I’m an adult, I don’t need permission to leave Aria, I am not one of your kids so don’t talk down to me like that” Hurt shone in her eyes at my words. I knew she always classed me more as a daughter than a sister having raised me, but I was sick of being scolded by everyone.
Aria looked toward my father. “Tell her David for fucking once don’t let her walk all over you, I swear if you go against me on this” She huffed glaring at my father, he dropped his head. I stood up from the log and started walking toward the house. My father fell in step with me as I walked toward the house.
“Lily tomorrow” My father mind linked but stopped.
“Tomorrow what?” I asked.
“Just please remember I am doing this for you, I don’t know how else to help you”
“What are you talking about, it’s my birthday dad not a jail sentence” I asked confused. He didn’t answer. When we got back to the house Ryker came out.
“You in trouble again aunty?” He said. I smiled and tousled his hair before pulling him to me and wrapping my arm around his shoulder.
“Come and watch a movie with me” I nodded before following him into the rec room. He put on Jurassic park, one of his favourite movies. I ignored Damien as he sat on the lounge beside me.
Lana and Ariel came out to see what we were watching but froze upon seeing me and they both took a step back. I went to get up when they ran off. I sighed before slumping back down on the lounge and pulling Ryker closer, cuddling him.
“At least you’re not scared of me,” I whispered into his hair.
“No, I like your wolf, she is scary, but I know she doesn’t mean it,” He said, patting the side of my face. I noticed Damien watching us but not saying anything. After the third Jurassic park movie, I finally fell asleep, I vaguely remember being picked up off the couch and placed on a bed, I knew it was Damien as sparks erupted over my skin as he pressed his back into mine and wrapped an arm around me while I drifted off back to sleep
