*Leonora*
The last thing I remembered was taking my tea and going to bed. Now I'm in the boot of a car, bounded and gagged. I don't know how long I've been in here but I know it has been over ten minutes as my body ached as I tried to move around.
I touched around the boot for something sharp to cut the ropes around my hand. There was nothing there. Jax's warriors are not stupid. I decided to go old school way. I held my left wrist and squeezed as hard as I could, using my strength. I felt my bone pop and I bit hard into the cloth in my mouth, trying not to scream at the pain. Tears gathered in my eyes as I slid the ropes down my hand. Using my left hand, I released my right hand from the rope. I pulled the gag out of my mouth, breathing heavily.
When I find Jax, I would make him pay. They couldn't even wake me up and tell me to pack my things. They just uprooted me from my life and stuck me back in this dingy car.
"Help!" I screamed as I banged the boot of the car with my right hand. I needed my left hand to heal. "Help me."
"There's no need for shouting!" I heard someone shout back. "We're already close to the pack!" My heart dropped. There was no use. I relaxed back into the car, using the opportunity to take off the ropes around my legs.
I began to prepare for my meeting with Jax. The ruthless King that only cared about himself and his reputation. The King who thought we were all beneath him. He could never see me as a person and it didn't matter to me.
The car came to a halt and it continued moving again, meaning we had passed the gates and my heart beat picked up. It was getting real. I was going to meet Jax again. For the first time in years! I wasn't ready.
I had planned that the next time I meet him, I would be prepared, ready to face him and make him pay for Noah. I made a promise to Noah that I would fight for him.
The car finally came to a halt and I heard the doors open. I waited for them to open but I didn't hear anything. Instead, it sounded like they were leaving me.
"Open this fucking boot!" I screamed, hitting the boot of the car. I lifted my left hand to assess the situation. I adjusted my thumb and the bones snapped back in place. That was weird but I could really care less as I needed to get out of car. My body was aching badly.
I heard footsteps coming and the boot opened. As the light entered into the boot, I squinted and covered my eyes.
"Get those fucking torches away from my face. You've already kidnapped me. What else do you want? For me to go blind?" I shot at them. I felt hands grab my body and pull me out of the boot. I closed my eyes until my feet were on the ground. I struggled with them until they finally let me go. I opened my eyes and was met with Jax staring at me.
It had been a long time since I had seen him and he still looked like he did two years ago. Well, Lycans don't age like humans but there was a light scar by his left eyebrow. My wolf purred at the sight of him and I definitely knew that his wolf was in a frenzy.
"Welcome back." His voice sounded hoarse and smoother than before. Maybe I just hadn't heard him speak for a long time so it sounded very different to me.
"You stuffed me in a car and you're telling me welcome home. You must be insane." I scoffed at him, rolled my eyes and folded my hands. I knew if I fought him, I would easily lose. His warriors were here and they would take me down easily.
"You better watch that foul mouth." He said as he walked up to me. He stopped just an inch away from me. "Get out." He said to the warriors who scurried away, leaving the both of us. I knew they weren't too far away in case Jax needed them.
My body heated up under his gaze and I swallowed the lump forming in my throat. His hand lightly grazed mine and I felt electricity shoot through my body. There was no denying the tension between us and I wouldn't give him that satisfaction of knowing I was in heat.
"I can smell you." He groaned as he leaned closer to me, his lips lightly grazing my neck. I wanted to move away but my body stayed frozen in that spot.
"Jax!" I heard Claire call, drawing us out of our little bubble. Jax took a step away from me.
"Your pretty bitch is calling you. Go on! Run to mummy." I teased and I felt a hard slap on my cheek causing my eyes to water. I looked back at him with my tears blurring my vision, holding my cheek which stung.
"You don't have the right to fucking talk to me like that! You think because you left, youre nothing but a kitchen volunteer?" He said as he took another step away from me. From the corner of my vision, I spotted Claire walking towards us. There was a smirk on her face as she was happy with the sight of Jax slapping me.
"Oh look what the warriors dragged in." She joked as she stopped by Jax's side. "Your room is still ready for you. You should be happy that we kept a bed for you." She said as she laced her hand in Jax's.
At that moment, I wanted to say something hurtful. I wanted to dive at Claire and punish her for what she did to Noah and I but I held back. I'm over powered right now but I'll get my revenge.
Just not today.
