Chapter 74
“I don’t have it in me anymore” I said “I don’t have it in me to control the pain my wolf is feeling, to try and not feel hurt” I kept my gaze at the ground “I don’t have it in me to fight anymore”
I tried wiping my tears away but new ones would take their place so I just gave up “And the worst part is: I can’t run away this time. I can’t because he marked me” I closed my eyes tightly “Because this mark makes it even more painful to be too far from him but it still hurts like hell now that he…he…rejected me again”
I felt myself being pulled up as Xavier sat me on his lap on the bench, just like old times. The twins were stroked their hands along my arms trying to soothe me, something they always did when I was upset. “I won’t go back to being the pathetic mate I won’t I…I can’t go back to that”
“he said he needed to talk to someone yesterday” Jim said “And he just got back minutes before, he wants to talk to you”
I took a deep breath and wiped my tears, think rational Lily “I guess I don’t have another choice huh?” The boys looked at me sympathetically “it’s okay just let me go change and just calm down a bit. I’ll talk to him later”
The guys nodded and I stood up and kissed each one of them on the cheek before leaving for my room. Once I had the door closed I noticed my phone vibrating on my bed. it was Melissa, I remembered her text to me last night saying that she was sorry Ethan said that, I shook my head no more thinking about Ethan I told myself before answering
“Lily” Melissa’s scared voice whispered at the other end “Lily I need your help”
“What’s wrong?” I asked immediately alert
“I’m in the woods and there are two rogues after me. Lily I can’t even shift” she cried “i didn’t know who else to call”
Oh hell no! I thought going to my closet not my friends I grabbed my gun and the new bullets I made
“I’m on my way” and with that I opened my window and leaped effortlessly to the ground running towards the woods. I tracked Melissa’s scent till i found her curled up next to a tree crying.
“Melissa” I said kneeling next to her “You’re not hurt right?” she shook her head and I sighed in relief “Take this” I gave her my gun knowing she needed it more than I did “Even if you don’t know how to shoot, just fire at any rogue that comes near you” she nodded and I helped her up. I looked around and saw more than just two wolves surrounding us. “Run Melissa.”
I kicked the wolf next to me allowing Melissa to run and she did but a wolf went after her. I tried to go after him but three others were already attacking me. I smirked
“rogues to kill, just what I needed” One of them attacked me and I easily dodged him, grabbing him by the neck and throwing him to the ground while the other jumped at my back and bit into my shoulder. I groaned but flung him into a tree. I placed my leg on the neck of the one on the floor and punched the other one in the stomach as he lunged at me.
Out of nowhere two other rogues came up, what the hell? since when do they attack in large numbers. I immediately shifted to wolf and started fighting them, I knew i was bleeding from my shoulder but couldn’t stop knowing what would happen.
Guys I called through the mind link just as I bit a wolf on his neck till he went limp
yeah they answered and just as I was about to tell them a wolf bit my leg and I howled before kicking him on the head, leaving him unconscious. There were two wolves left, I knew I could take them on they were in worse shape than I was.
“I wouldn’t take another step if I were you” I heard a familiar voice say. I looked up to see the man from the rogue house, the leader. glared at him and kept my defensive stance but I took a step back in shock when a guy came from behind him holding Melissa. “Shift back” he said and I shook my head they would not see me naked “hey, hey I’m a gentleman” he threw me a shirt “now shift back before I kill her”
I went behind a tree and shifted back ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ (.)net
guys?I tried asking but I couldn’t get to them, damn those rogues.
I stepped from behind the tree and the leader smirked “We meet again”
“I would say I’m glad but” I clicked my tongue “Then I’d be lying” He smirked and motioned for the guy holding Melissa to move next to him and I narrowed my eyes “You know it’s rude to threaten your hosts’ friends”
“I’ve never bothered with manners” he said with a smirk “besides it was the only way I could think of to make you stop killing my fighters”
I snorted “Your fighters are weak” Complete lie, they were well trained but I kept my blank face on “You need to step up your training”
“Maybe I’l have you train them”
“No thanks I stick to the better side, not some control-craving mutts”
He growled at that and I smiled knowing I was getting to him. Guys I called again but no one answered “I have to say very low move with the lycotine gas” I cocked my head to the side and smirked “Didn’t your mom teach you not to play with drugs?”
