*EMMA*
I slowly blink my eyes open, my head felt like someone was hitting the inside of my head with a harmer, I moan as my eyes adjust to the light of the room. The previous events flashed across my mind, Jet wasn’t an alien… He was a monster! Suddenly I wished he was an alien or a vampire but now he is a monster, what do they plan to do with me? Kill me? Eat me? Dread filled me as I stood up from the bed, ignoring my protesting head I walk over to the window to see if it was something that I could jump over and escape.
My plan was interrupted when the door opened and Hazel walked in with a smile on her face which quickly vanished when she saw how terrified I am of her. Why were they being nice to me all along? Did they kidnap me for ransom? Many questions ran through my mind yet not a single one of them made sense to me.
“Milady please calm down! I’ll never hurt you” She cried keeping her distance away from me.
“Leave me alone! I want you out of here” I screamed at her watching as she scurried out of the room then I hurried after her to lock the door from the inside, the door would remain locked until I can think of a way to escape, I thought to myself before going over to the seat on the bed once more.
I crawled into the bed hugging my knees closer to my upper body, I almost jumped out of my skin when I heard a knock on the door, too terrified to even go near the door, I move deeper into the safety of my bed, I couldn’t seem to get the image of a wolf changing into Jet or Jet changing into a wolf, how is that even possible?.
“Freya, fucking open the door before I break it down” He ordered from outside the door.
I whimpered burying my head into the pillow to block out his words and knocking, I heard nothing for a while and I was glad he left, well not until the door came flying into the room which made me scream. When I looked up after the noise died down, only to see an angry-looking Jet staring down at me.
“Please…. Don’t hurt me” I cried moving deeper into the bed.
“Do not be ridiculous Freya, have I ever hurt you before? Why would I want to start now?” A flicker of sadness cross his face and before I could even grasp it, his expression turned blank making me think that I had imagined it.
“You should rest, we will be leaving early for the registration office, I get that you have suffered a major shock but I will not let you see me as a monster, do I make myself clear?” When I refused to give him a reply, he stalked towards me making me scream, ignoring my lousy noise, he jerked me towards him, and then his finger came to rest on my jaw to lift my face so I had no choice but to look at him.
“Have I made myself clear?” He asked harshly causing me to flinch, nothing would ever remain the same, everything about him just scares the daylight out of him.
Knowing he would keep pestering me until I gave him an answer, I shook my head indicating no.
“Words Freya, answer me with words” His words were getting impatient.
“No” As soon as the words slip past my lips, he let me go.
I let out a sigh of relief when I saw him walk away only then did I realize that my room have no doors, how the hell am I supposed to sleep where monsters are all around me with no doors? I wanted to cry, but then I remembered what Jet told me, if they wanted to hurt me they would have done so, that doesn’t mean I’m still not scared of him.
After he left Hazel walked into the room longing by the entrance afraid of coming any closer to me, who could blame the poor girl? We were now scared of each other, I don’t think things will ever remain the same around here, not after what I have witnessed.
“The door will be repaired by tomorrow, Alpha ordered me to escort you to one of the guest rooms” She murmured looking at me briefly before turning away.
Too tired to protest, plus my throat hurts from all the screaming, and shouting I have been doing. I got down from the bed, I expected her to back away when I approached her but she didn’t. “So… you can turn into an animal too?” I wanted to be sure what I had seen was real, I mean how could any of this, them be freaking real?.
She nodded her head confirming my suspicions. “But it is not the way you think, we are not monsters and we will never do anything to hurt you. You have hurt Alpha by calling him a monster when he had been treating you kindly since they say you arrived. But I understand you milady, this is a lot for you to take in. I am sure Alpha will explain it all to you once you calm down” She said making me feel guilty about my reaction to the whole thing, I guess she was right, I needed time to adjust to what I had seen.
“Okay. Please escort me to the guest room, I would like to rest for a while” I told her and she quickly came forward to help me carry most of my waist, all the while my heart was racing uncontrollable expecting her to turn into a monster and bite my head off.
That night, I couldn’t get a wink of sleep, I got so many nightmares of a huge animal chasing me in my dream, another one was on the point where Jet and I were talking then he was leaning in to kiss me, suddenly he turned into a monster, head of a wolf, standing on his feet like a human with long fangs that was before I bite into my neck which had me screaming awake, I look out of the guest room window, the moan was still shining, my whole body was shaking.
Jet strode into the room, I’m sure I woke the entire castle up with my screams, I was too tired to push him away as he pulled me into his body, arranging me on his lap like I was a kid.
“Forgive me” He murmured burying his face into the crook of my neck, I felt him inhale my scent deeply like he was trying to gain control of himself. “I never meant for you to find out that way. I am sorry” His apology shocked me, I slowly lift my head to look at him, something in his eyes pulling me in, telling me he would never hurt me.
“What are you?” I asked looking away from him cause when I looked at him, the dream replay back in my mind. All this is just so messed up.
“I’m a werewolf” He answered and probably figuring out I had no idea what he meant, he went on to explain further half-human, half-wolf, I am not a monster, you do not need to fear me cause my wolf will cause you no harm, you are my soul mate” His last statement made me burst out laughing.
“You realize you kidnapped me from my wedding a few weeks ago right? Jake is my soul mate. I was a method to him ever since I was little, I grow up to accept and to love him….” I made the mistake of looking at him again cause his eyes had gone so dark, the gold in his eyes shone brightly at me like the eyes of the wolf I had seen in my dream, I jumped away from him wanting to put as much distance between us.
“Do not fucking run away from me!” He drawled angrily at me making me flinch, he grabbed me by the arm and then slammed me against the wall, I whimpered having no idea of what he would do next.
“Please don’t hurt me” I cried as tears ran down my face.
“Hearing you talk about loving another man is driving me out of my mind” He growled at me than reaching out he lift my face so I had no choice but to look at him, the colour old I had seen in his eyes earlier was nowhere to be found. “How would you feel if I love another?” Our eyes clashed daring me to give him a reply.
For some weird reason I hesitated, my mouth refused to form any words so I just stared dumbly at him.
He leaned towards me, I closed my eyes thinking he wanted to kiss me but instead, he dropped his head on my neck. “There are so many things I want to do to you Freya, you have no idea how hard this is for me. But I will wait, you need to be ready, you need to accept me first” His words took a while for it to sink in.
“That would never happen. I want to go home” I cried against his back as he turn away from me.
“This is your home! The sooner you make peace with the fact the better. Start getting ready we leave early tomorrow morning” With that, he stormed out of the room leaving me alone with my thoughts.
What the hell have I gotten into?
