Jordan POV.
I opened my eyes, or maybe I didn’t I couldn’t see with how dark and heavy my eyes are, I had a headache, or maybe I didn’t but I felt weird, everything was so heavy, I couldn’t wake up, I felt like I’ve been hit on the head with a cast-iron, it’s like the movie Tangled, one of Kiara’s movies, she even threatened to hit me with one once, that only got her ten minutes in the corner by Jacob, the memory made me smile. But why was I thinking about those memories, my brain was a mess, would Kiara and Micah get along together, she can be a naughty puppy when she wants but Micah never got the chance to be naughty or a little before, I had no idea if he’s going to be able to regress like her or not.
I pushed myself up on my feet, but I fell down right away, my body is getting used to the coldness, it didn’t affect me anymore. I groaned, I need to wake up, I need to be at my full strength, I knew I was in danger, but my brain was all over the place, my brain was pulling back memories of my family, mixed with memories of Micah, there weren’t many of them, we haven’t spend a long time together, but he’s my everything.
I finally managed to wake up, to recognize what happened to me, me and Micah tried to run away, I and Micah got attacked, they jumped on us, and I was knocked off dark, I couldn’t be awake, I couldn’t protect Micah.
“Micah,” I mumble he’s the only person I was worried about, he’s the one I want to make sure he’s safe, my eyes opened finally, I looked around trying to find Micah, but he wasn’t here, my hands were tied behind my back, I pulled at them, wanting to fight, to run and try to find him.
“Micah!” I yell this time, looking around, my mate was standing not too far from me, he and the alpha were standing nose to nose, he didn’t hear me yell, he wasn’t looking at me, I heard the alpha spitting some words at him until Micah finally yelled back.
“Ichallenge you into an alpha competition!” Micah says, an alpha challenge, it’s a challenge that can’t be denied, if anyone challenges the alpha, the alpha and the challenger would fight to the death, but Micah is his son, it’s his right to be the next alpha in line, but to gain that title he needs to endure the alpha’s competition, a competition to show the strength of the heir, to show if he’s ready to take over or need to stay under his father’s power.
“Alpha challenge boy? Take it back,” the alpha order him, refusing to take his challenge.
“Never! I want my rightful place as alpha!” Micah answers him, but he didn’t want to be alpha, why is he demanding that I looked at them confused.
“To take your said place, you’re going to need my blessing,” Alpha blade answers him, it’s either take the alpha’s blessing or kill him and take his place.
“Do your worse father, I’ve already endured everything you had dashed out at me,” Micah answers him.
“Anyone else wants to participate? I’m looking for a new heir,” alpha Blade says with an evil smile, he’d lost it, he’s going to humiliate Micah by allowing other people to participate in the competition, if Micah loses, he’d lose his chance to be the next alpha, the other who won would take his place, and I couldn’t allow that.
“I will alpha, I’d be happy to take his place, I was always your favourite,” Joshua steps in, he’s taking this chance to further humiliate Micah, I’m never going to allow him to hurt my baby.
“I want to participate too, now let me go! I got every right to participate,” I yell, the alpha turns to me with a growl.
“You’re not part of ours,” the alpha answers me.
“I’m on your lands, I’m your son’s mate! I got every right to,” I say letting everything out, things are bad now, let them be worse.
“Fine, let the alpha competition begin,” the alpha says, moving away, fuming with anger, he was screaming orders at everyone, while I was still tied down.
“Let me go! Untie me!” I yell at the beasts who were holding me, they didn’t let me go, instead, they dragged me to another place, with Micah and Joshua following us, and we were taken to the forest.
“The rules are simple, the one who survives the trial and shows to be worthy wins, your goal is to make it back here quick, and alive,” the alpha tells us all in a loud voice, another rag was placed over my face, I knew what was going to happen this time, I blacked out.
My brain, my will, I used every part in me to stay awake, I need to be awake, but the drug was stronger than me, I was pushed into another trip to memory lands, more memories surfaced, I was seeing, another memory of Ashlynn. She and Jacob had a fight, he took her cookie and we decided to have our revenge, the best way to take revenge on Jacob was to mess with him, since he loved to steal Ashlynn’s cookies we made him a big batch of cookies, all just for him, made with chocolate, flour, love, and jalapeno. Mom scolded us so badly, but it was worth it, I could hear her voice in my head still, yelling my name, over and over again.
“Jordan, Jordan, Jordan…” my name was called over and over again until my eyes finally opened, but it wasn’t mom who was waking me up, instead it was Micah.
“Micah… my head hurt,” I say holding my head, I went from dizzy to pain.
“They gave you extra to keep you down for longer,” Micah explains to me, I just nod my head yes.
“We need to start moving Jordan,” Micah says, I just nod again, starting to walk, stumbling around, I need some time for the meds to leave my body.
“Okay, let’s go,” I tell my mate.
“Why did you do this?” Micah asks me, I look at him, do what?
“Why did you do this, why are you here?” he asks hurt, he thinks I want his place as alpha?
“To keep you safe you idiot, come on, you’re going to win and be alpha,” I tell my idiot of a mate, starting to walk, we’re going to win, even if I need to carry him over my back.
