Chapter 631
I stepped out of the bathroom and froze when I saw a mug on the nightstand with
an assortment of sweeteners. It wasn’t there earlier when I first walked into this
room. I glanced in the mug, and it was tea.
I put some sugar in the tea, knowing Spencer must have put it in here for me. He
was thoughtful, and it warmed my heart knowing I had a friend like him in my
corner.
As I sipped the tea, I walked towards the window. My eyes traveled to where the
Redcliff pack was… or at least the direction of the pack. We were about 10 miles
away, so I couldn’t see it, but there was still a strange pull towards it.
Maybe I was just tired… actually… I was getting really tired. I took another long
sip of the tea and let out a yawn. My eyes were drooping to a point where keeping
them open was an impossible task.
My wolf clawed inside me, sensing something was seriously wrong. She howled
desperately, wanting to get back to the pack.
Then, something in the far distance caught my eye; I frowned.
Was that a fire?
My eyes scanned the surroundings; the fire was quite a distance away, but that
wasn’t what caught my attention. My eyes found another pair of eyes, staring at
me in the forest, and a bone-chilling feeling crept up my spine.
A rogue?
My eyes were blurry from how drowsy I was suddenly getting, and my heart rate
started to pick up. I took a step backward, and my breathing started to pick up.
Something was wrong… both my wolf and I knew it.
Suddenly, I couldn’t stand on my own two feet anymore. Suddenly, my weight was
almost too much.
I fell to the ground, the mug slipping from my fingers and crashing to the ground. I
heard footsteps outside the bedroom door, and I knew it was Spencer.
Relief flooded me when he opened the door; I couldn’t open my mouth to say
anything; my tongue felt like it weighed a hundred pounds, and I couldn’t speak. I
looked up at him through my hazy eyes and stared back at me with a look of
indifference. My brows furrowed.
Did he see what was happening to me?
Was he going to help me?
His eyes narrowed as he stared at me; he bent down to me, his hand reaching out
to tuck a strand of hair behind my ear. His touch lingered on my cheek for a bit too
long. His touch felt wrong and tainted; I tried to wiggle away from him, but I
couldn’t move my body. I was completely paralyzed.
It was taking everything I had in me
to keep consciousness. But even I
could feel the weakening state of my
body, the fight leaving me despite
my wolf’s desperation to break free
and get me out of this situation. I
can still shift; at least until I’m about
4 months pregnant, eam. So my
wolf would be able to get me out of
here, but she was also preoccupied
with keeping our pup safe, and
shifting worried her. I could feel her
conflict, and my heart was pounding
against my ribcage.
He reached his hand out to me again, his fingers tracing my jawline.
“So, fucking beautiful,” he whispered. “Soon, you’re going to be mine, Judy
Montague.”
I wanted to ask him what the fuck he was talking about; his grin was terrifying.
“It took a lot of work to get you here,
you know. To get to this point. I’m
glad we are finally together, though,
and now that I have you, I’m not
planning on letting you go.
He lowered himself so his lips were at my ear; an unsettled chill crept up my
spine, and I wanted to pull away again, but my body wouldn’t listen.
“You’re a fighter,” he whispered. “Aren’t you a little tired? Close your eyes, baby…
get some sleep. By tomorrow, there isn’t going to be a pack for us to return to.”
My heart sank to my stomach.
The fire that I saw.
Was that coming from the pack?
Panic started to consume me. What the fuck did Spencer do? Oh Goddess…
Gavin…
His grin grew even wider when he saw the panic in my eyes.
“Don’t worry… I won’t hurt you. I just
wanted you sedated until the pack is
gone. This time tomorrow, we’ll be
on the road and leaving to start a
new life. I love you, Judy, and I’m
not going to let you go. You’re mine.”
And with that, the fight in me shattered, and darkness clouded my vision.
I lost the fight.
But I wasn’t going to lose the battle.
