I made sure my mind link was off before putting those thoughts in my head, he hug me tighter to himself like someone who wouldn’t let me go that easy.
He lifts me up and brings me to his bed. My heart starts to race. He sets me down and the sits down beside of me. I curl up beside of him and he pulls me onto his lap. He strokes my hair as I slowly drift asleep.
I wake to Leo still holding me in his lap. I know I’m supposed to hate this guy, but he is really hard to hate! I bet I’m super easy to hate though. I’ve done so many bad things in my life; I’ve even betrayed the man that I love… wait, did I just say love? Yeah, I guess I did! I love him! And even though he can’t know everything about me, he needs to know my secret. He is my mate, he wouldn’t kill me, would he? I take a deep breath and look up to see his icy, blue eyes staring at me. You got this Mira!
“Leo I need to tell you something, something that’s really important.” I whisper.
“What is it sweetie?” He holds me tighter as he says those words.
I swallow the lump in my throat and look away from his mesmerizing eyes. Just spit it out Mira!!
“Leo I’m-” we hear a loud crash at the front door of the pack house. We both jump at the sudden noise and Leo puts me down on the bed while standing protectively in front of me. I hear growling and howling just outside the door then the smell of blood hits my nose. The sound of claws scraping the door makes the hair on my arms stand up. I feel Leo’s hand wrapped around my wrist, ready to pull me out of the way if necessary.
Leo’s canines emerge as we hear the door knob turn. The door cracks open and something is thrown in. I see the door quickly shut and then I hear a hissing sound. My head starts to spin and my eyes droop. I see Leo fall to his knees. I try to get to him but I’m too tired to even move. My eyes slowly shut and my world goes black. The only thing I am conscious of is my wolf scolding me.
‘How stupid are you?! You were gassed!! Why didn’t you grab a freakin shirt and cover your nose and mouth?!’
I mentally roll my eyes at her words. She wasn’t the one who got gassed! I then shut my wolf out and try to focus on opening my eyes. The harder I try, the more tired I get. I’m freakin unconscious and I’m getting tired!! That’s messed up! I feel a pair of arms wrap around me an lift me up. Where am I going? How am I even somewhat consciousness right now?
I feel the cold wind hit my body and then warmth. I feel someone lay me down and then I hear a car engine start. So I’m kidnapped and thrown in a car… Again. Seriously?!?!
I feel myself slipping under. Wait I can’t blackout now!! And my world vanishes.
‘Mira! Where are you! Mira please answer me!’A voice rings in my head.
That voice sounds so-so… Wow. Wait! That’s Leo’s voice!
‘Leo ! What’s going on! What happened?!’
‘A group of rogues attacked the pack. They managed to reach the pack house. And-wait!
Never mind that! Where are you? Are you hurt?’
I’m okay, I think. I’m still semi unconscious. I haven’t tried to open my eyes, honestly, I’m scared to.’
Listen Mira , I’ll be there soon, just hold on. This is really important I need to-”
I suddenly feel my cheek stinging. I slowly open my eyes to see what happened. I see an older man, with ragged clothes on, rubbing his hand. He slapped me! How dare he slap me! I watch a smirk form on his face then he leans in close. His face is close enough that I can smell his rancid breath ;which is not pleasant, I might add. And I notice that he wears an eye patch on his left eye.
His blonde hair and scruff is peppered with white and his dark, grey eyes look… okay, let’s just say, you wouldn’t want to bump into him in a dark Alley.
“Well well well, looks like the little princess has decided to finally wake up.” His voice is crackly as he says those words.
I release a low growl that shakes my whole body. The man steps back and gazes at me. His eyes then glaze over and three other people rush in. I try to jump out of a chair I’m in, but it’s no use; my wrists and ankles are held to the chair with silver shackles. My eyes turn yellow with anger and my canines rip through my gums. I jerk against the shackles wildly, trying to get free. The three people that came in have a gun trained on me. I hear something wiz through the air and then I feel stinging on my leg. I look down to see a tranquilizer dart sticking into my leg, which makes me furious! I jerk harder at the shackles until the break open.
I stand up and run towards the person who shot me. Everyone looks beyond terrified as I grab the person who shot me and rip his head clean off. Blood spews everywhere as I rip the remaining limbs off of the corpse.
I let out a loud roar before I lunge toward the rest of them.
My eyes are no longer my usual golden yellow, they are black, pitch black. My father’s side is finally making an appearance. I remember ripping another person’s head off before I blackout.
My eyes flutter open when I hear a song bird in the trees whistling away. I groan as I slowly lift my head up. My head is killing me! Blinking a few times, I take in my surroundings. I’m in a Lucius forest with a stream to the right of me. What happened? Where the heck am I? I slowly stand up with my wobbly legs and walk to the stream. I crouch down and cup my hands in the water. That’s when I notice the blood all over my body. I rip my hands away from the stream and look at my reflection in the water. Though it’s blurry, I can see all the blood on my- well, everything! I quickly scrub the blood off myself and try to forget about what I saw.
William’s words start ringing in my head as I look at myself in the water one last time.
I am a monster…
I lean against a tree and hit the back of my head against it.
I killed those people! I killed them!
I tug on my tangled hair and scream out in anger. I never thought I could be like my biological father. A monster!!! I thought I was strong enough not to cave in to that side of me. Apparently I’m not. Look down and notice I’m wearing no clothes. Why haven’t I noticed this earlier? The cold wind makes me shiver as I stand there, wet from cleaning the blood off my skin.
” I think am really what William’s thinks of me”, I say to myself, as tears slides down my cheek and I can’t control it.
