Chloe's POV
I was right up against the wall as he whispered the one thing I feared the most. "I found you." I felt tears sting my eyes as I thought of what he'd do to Ryjel and Reilly. Before I could say anything his hand moved up to my neck and a pain instantly traveled through my body as the darkness consumed me.
Blake's POV
We had arrived to David's little arena around eight-thirty that night. When I threatened to expose him to the police he immediately contacted Chloe and I must say I had damn good timing. Yesterday she forgot to grab her cut of the money he owed her so it made my trap perfect. After he gave me what I wanted I killed him I didn't need his karma he would cause me later if he let it slip that I knew Chloe. I had Dwayne hide until she entered the office then he would lock the door until I got her to come with us. I spun the seat around so she wouldn't know I was the one who brought her here until it was too late. Walking in she spoke. Her voice sounded so threatening that it made me laugh on the inside. I had taught her well. She could invoke fear into anyone but me and I was proud of it. When I turned the chair so she could see my face her face light in horror. It made me smirk in amusement. Chloe was so much fun to play with and soon very soon I could play with her all the time and not have to worry about her running away again. Then she tried to run but obviously the door was locked. She calmed her features and turned back around. This only amused me more. Telling her that she failed from hiding from me must have hit a button because she blew and yelled at me. But the one thing that made me angry was that she said she'd never help me again. It was laughable really but not this time. In the past I made her swear to anything that I wanted her to do because I knew that keeping her word meant everything to her since it's what her mother taught her to do. Her mother was her weakness and I used it to my advantage. But the fact that these six months of freedom made her think that she could back talk me made me furious. I bout out of my chair and around the desk and slammed her into the wall. It made her quiver in fear and oh how it made me feel so damn good. "I found you" I whispered with a hunger in my voice. I felt her go cold it was as if she was hoping this was all a bad dream and the. Those three words made her realize the reality that this was no dream. Licking the rim of her ear only made my hunger grow. But I would have to wait and claim her until she was awake so she would experience the lovely pain and desire I had for her. I made her unconscious then caught her and knocked on the door. Dwayne opened the door and we walked out and went to the temporary hideout.
Chloe's POV
Looking around in the darkness I tried to find away out but there was none that I could see. Then a giant ball of light came barreling towards me. I lifted my arms to cover my face but when it swallowed me I didn't feel hurt or anything. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around there in front of me was a man shouting commands at several rows of soldiers. His name was shouted and he turned around to meet a woman. She had golden blonde hair and green eyes and a pale complexion. She was dressed in white jeans and shirt with gold designs imprinted on them. "Captain Aaliyah what can I do for you?" The man said. He had black tussled hair and piercing cyan blue eyes that glowed literally! He also had a dark tan complexion. Unlike all the other soldiers who were in navy blue uniforms he wore completely black. "Admiral Verose the king needs to speak to you. Captain Aaliyah said. "Ah so he has finally summoned me for the first time today." The man joked. "Trainees, you will listen to Captain Aaliyah for the rest of this month and if I hear that you fail this months test then I will make your worst nightmare come to life am I clear!" The Admiral shouted. "Sir yes sir!" The men and women shouted back in unison. The man laughed as if it was a joke. It might have been well not the 'don't you dare fail your test this month and you better listen to the captain.' It made me laugh this guy had a good sense of humor. Then it hit me. This man's name was Verose. My mother made my last name after my father's name and she had named me with the help of my father. It could be a coincidence but for some reason I doubted it. My father's name was Jackson Alexander Verose. It could just be a coincidence that this man's name was Verose. I was deciding on whether to follow this man and find out or leave. As always the bigger part of me which has always been curiosity won out and I followed him. We entered the castle through what looked like one of many back doors. As he continued to walk I looked around and was amazed at what I saw. There were marble floors and staircases there were oak handrails and chairs and tables. The castle was had beautiful varieties of color that all complemented each other. Getting sidetracked by the cool architecture in this place I almost lost the dude I was following. Catching up he suddenly stopped at a big wooden door that smelled like pine. It had a wolfs head design carved in it and beautiful gold metal handles. The man knocked and waited. Another man's voice allowed him in so he opened the door and walked in. When he got to the throne he bowed to the man sitting on it. "Your majesty" he greeted. I rolled my eyes. I would die if I had to do that. It wasn't the fact that he was showing respect it was that I felt bowing is a symbol of surrender I mean it's what I was taught. "Jackson stand, stand! We're alone there are no need for formalities my friend." The king said standing up and hugging the Admiral. "So how is it going are you ready to go search for her?" The king asked. "As ready as I'll ever be. Ya know Peter ever since I saw her as a little baby and watched her take her first step or first word I have to remind myself that she's not going to be a baby anymore and the fact that I had to leave her to protect her and her mom makes my heart ache." Jackson said sitting down on the step with the man named Peter. I was to caught up and the fabulousness of this place to pay attention to what they were saying but when the king said the Admiral's name was Jackson I panicked. In my moment of panic I zapped out of there.
I blinked several times before my vision started to clear. I tried to roll my shoulders to relieve the tension in my muscles but when I completely opened my eyes I found myself strapped to a chair. My feet were tied to the legs and my arms the armrests. They rapped a rope around my waist so I couldn't do anything that could help me escape. My mind was all over the place. That man couldn't be right? No mom told me my father died when I was two years old. It's-its not possible. The entire time I have been alive I have never seen a picture of my father and I could never remember his face or how he felt or sounded like. The door opened and interrupted my thoughts. I looked up to see Blake. I was relatively calm for the state I was in but then again I wasn't thinking about where I was at or what had happened I was worrying about the vision I had but when I saw Blake my mind panicked and my heart spiked. I wanted to wipe the little grin off his face but couldn't. "Morning stray." He said grabbing a chair and flipping it backwards and sitting down. I looked away and said nothing. Hoping it would make him go away. Sadly it didn't he just grew more amused. "I don't know what it's about you but you always make me feel warm inside when I'm cold." He said gently. "You're always cold no matter what." I said hoarsely. That made him laugh. "I guess you're right there aren't you stray." He reached to caress my cheek but I pulled away. "Stop calling me that." I growled out. "No, because you're a stray but not for long. Soon I will make you do whatever I want and you won't think twice you won't even hate me." He said standing up and moving closer to me. "Doubt it." I mumbled. He scoffed and bent down in front of me so we were eye level. His eyes searched mine then they moved down to my lips and then back to my eyes. "Please Blake don't...don't do this. Don't hurt me again not like last time." I pleaded. "Oh baby I won't not like last time. But we have to finish what we started just one more time." He whispered. He gave me a quick kiss then pulled out a knife. He loosened my right arm then turned it over and tightened it again. It was tight enough to keep me from escaping but not enough to cut off circulation. Cutting all the way down my forearm straight on the scar from previous years of cuts he goes deep enough that it draws blood. Then he cuts his arm in the same place and lays it on my arm and uses some kind of magic to draw enough blood to finish the blood bond he does this to both of us and then puts it in our bodies. It took about four hours to complete this task but after he'd done it he rapped my arm up in a bandage and did the same to his. He kissed me and left. I felt so dizzy but I knew I had to get out of here. Being part werewolf had its advantages. I could mind speak to others if I pleased. But before I did that I had to get out of here. I used my gift to take over the guard in front of my door. I made home unlock the door and untie me. After that I knocked him out and took off. I jumped out the nearest window and ran. Thankfully we were in a one story building so it wasn't to far down. I ran a long time through the woods before I came to a highway. I was to dizzy and nauseous to run any farther so I entered Jim's head.
Hey Jim.
Where the Heck are you!!?
Hard to explain but do you think you could pick me up?
Yes, what happened!?
Te you later I'm running out of energy. Please hurry you don't have much time.
Hang on I'll be there soon. Wait where are you?
I don't know use that nose of your and find me. The only thing I do know is I'm still in Canada and I'm still near that city we met at.
Got be there soon. I have a pretty good idea where you are.
Thanks.
Sit tight.
After mind linking him I collapse under a tree and wait. I had made sure not to leave any tracks behind so they won't know I'm gone until it's too late. Hopefully.
Two hours later:
My black truck pulls up and Jim jumps out and starts looking for me. "Over here!" I yell and stand up I start walking over to him but I fall from the extreme dizziness I'm feeling. Thankfully Jim catches me and carries me on his back to the truck. He puts me in the passenger seat and closes the door before running to the other side. "Sorry it took me a minute to find you I looked everywhere then came here last but it won't take long to get back home so don't worry." He said patting my leg. "How long have I been gone?" I ask worried. "About half a day and morning. You left around nine thirty yesterday night and it's about two thirty now." He said focusing on the road. "What did you tell the boys?" I was struggling not falling asleep. "I told them you went out to train and that David called you in last minute." "Thanks Jim for everything." That was the last thing I said and then fell asleep.
When I woke up we had just pulled into the driveway. I got out and the boys came running to me. I felt the wave of dizziness hit me. They both hugged me so tight I couldn't breath. But when they let go I felt relief that they were ok and Blake didn't get them. Jim shooed them off and led me to the guest house. When we got in I looked at my bandage arm and saw that it had splotches of blood seeping through. I went to the bathroom and changed it not aware that Jim was watching me. "Did Blake do that to you?" He asked. I sighed and nodded. "It's no big deal I'm used to it. Now we need to leave." I said getting up. I went to my room and grabbed my back pack and through my stuff in it then went to the boys and did the same with their stuff. "Ok but we're coming with you." Jim said as if it were definite. I was too tired to complain or te him no so I just shrugged. "You can if you want to." I said finishing the packing. Just from that I felt like I was going to faint. I had lost a lot of blood then had it replaced with someone else's. Again my thought were interrupted. "Sweetie are you ok!?" Granny said hugging me gently. "I'm fine." I said. "We have to go if Blake knows we're here we need to go somewhere we know is safe." Michelle said. "I know a place but it's in the royal pack." Granny said. "As long as the twins are safe." I said swaying. "Ok then let's go. Everyone get your stuff together. Wait no Jim Eliot go pack everything nicely. And get them in the trucks and car." Granny said helping me to my truck. I set the back pack in the back where the boys would be sitting. When everything was packed we all decided car arrangements. Tanner and Eli would be with Granny and Gabe. Eliot and Michelle would be in her truck. Then Jim, Reilly, Ryjel and I would be in mine. Jim insisted on driving so I let him. About five minutes in the drive I knocked out and let sleep consume me.
