SWNOVELS Chapter 76
CHAPTER 76
I was waiting for the attack to happen.
To feel his teeth sink into my flesh, but it never came.I eventually looked back and Jackson was frozen in the air.I didn't
understand.
He was in the air, and he couldn't move any closer to me.He was still able to move, but he wasn't able to get to me or to even get
to the ground for that matter.
I quickly looked around and I saw Stefan and his brother Damon standing off to the side with their hands raised.
They both had fae powers and they were using that on Jackson right now to stop him from killing me.I quickly got out of the line
of fire of Jackson and they let him go and he fell to the ground and skidded along the grass.
He turned back towards me and tried to have another go but they stopped him again.He growled at them in pure anger and
hatred for stepping and helping me.He huffed a couple of times and then he turned around and took off into the woods.
So I turned around and I went to the house where I shifted back and out on some clothes before I came back outside.
"What the hell do you two think you're doing?" I asked.
"Saving your life." Damon says.
"How did you know that I was in danger?" I asked.
"Beats me.Stefan knew.He just woke up in bed and said that you were in trouble.He could sense it." Damon says.
"How the hell is that possible?"I asked.
"We spent a lot of time in Morda.That causes a bond between fae's.It doesn't need to be romantic or not." Stefan explained.
"Listen to me, both of you.You need to go home and pack a bag.Get the hell out of the pack right now." I say.
"What are you talking about?" Damon asked.
"Get your mother and leave.Because when Jackson gets back, he'll be going straight to your house." I say.
"What about you?" Stefan asked.
"Don't worry about me.Please, you need to leave.I have already lost enough friends because I am mated to him.I can't let him
hurt either of you.You need to leave, now." I say.
"Promise that you will be safe." Stefan says.
"I will be.Don't worry about me.He just needs to calm down." I say.
So Damon grabbed Stefan's arm and pulled him away.Damon could tell that I was serious.They needed to leave.
I turned around and saw that I was completely alone outside the packhouse so I turned towards the forest where Jackson
disappeared into and I knew that it wasn't going to be good when he got back.
I know what the beast in him is like, and to him, what I just did would feel like a betrayal.I went behind his back and got the rogue
out of the cell and let them all leave with her.I didn't know what to expect when he got home and I think that's what worried me
the most.
But I went back inside and I went upstairs to the bedroom and I tried to get some rest but I knew pretty quickly that wasn't going
to be an option.So I sat on the bed reading a book and I saw the sun coming up.
And I got up to look out the window and I knew that he would be at his spot just outside the border, looking down on the town.
The place he showed me when he drove me back from Thomas' pack that first night that we met.I don't know why, but I just
knew that he was there.
I finally put on my heavy dressing gown and went downstairs and I got a cup of coffee and I told the staff not to worry about
breakfast and I gave them the day off.I didn't want them to be here when Jackson returned.I didn't want anyone getting caught in
the crossfire.
And I knew that I was going to have to be really careful about how I approached him when he got home.It was all I could think
about.I was just hoping that he would scream and shout at me and not go and lock himself up in a room somewhere.
But I sat outside with my coffee and a smoke when I heard some noise around the side of the packhouse.I walked around the
side instead of going through the house and there were some warriors there fixing the glass doors that had been smashed the
night before.
"Hey Taylor.Alpha mind linked a couple of us to come and fix this window." Isaac says walking over to me.
"When did he mind link you?" I asked curiously.
"A little while ago...Are you alright?" He asked, grabbing my arm and pulling me away from the others.
"Yeah.Just a big night." I say.
"You know that I worry about you.And getting a call like this makes me worry and then I have to lie to your mother because she
won't calm down until she sees for herself that you're alright." Isaac says.
"Dad.Look at me.I'm fine.Really.Some shit happened last night, but it was last night." I say.
"Then why isn't Alpha here? He's out in the woods and it doesn't sound like he is coming home anytime soon." Isaac says.
"He just needs to calm down.He got into a fight with his family.You know how that goes." I say, really hoping that my poker face
or my lack of sleep doesn't betray me right now.
"Yeah.I know how that goes." He says.
"Just so long as you're alright." He says.
"I'm fine." I say.
I then heard a siren going off and I looked around and saw smoke coming from a place in the middle of town.
"What the hell?" I asked.
"A house is on fire.We need to go and take care of that and then we'll finish the window."Isaac says as I saw his eyes glazing
over while mink linking with someone else.
"Alright.What house?" I asked quickly before he left.
"Stefan's.I'll make sure that they're not inside." Isaac says.
"Don't worry.They left town last night." I say turning around and going back around to the back of the packhouse.
And Isaac stopped and looked at me in confusion.
Now knowing that something serious happened here last night and I am just downplaying everything.He knows that I wouldn't
want to worry him or mom.
They are both too important to me and I am Luna.
I need to know how to take care of myself and not run to my parents whenever I am in trouble.
Isaac definitely knew that I was holding a lot of stuff back and he knew that I wasn't going to tell him what was going on.
But this is the way that it had to be.I knew the fire wasn't an accident.I knew that Jackson did it on purpose.But I don't know if he
was hoping if Stefan was inside or not.
Was he trying to kill Stefan and Damon for interfering last night? Which I would prefer to call protecting me.
But Jackson doesn't see it that way.I didn't know what the hell I was going to do right now.
And now I was wondering if it was a good idea if I should even stay here myself.I know that he won't torch the packhouse.
But I know that I can't run away from him every time we have a fight.I've never been one to run away, so I wasn't going to do it
this time.I don't know where he is, but if it looks like he isn't going to be home for a while and he is going to be torching houses of
people that try to help me, then I guess it was my time to step up.I knew that was my only option.
He wasn't in his right mind.
So it was my turn to show this pack what I was capable of doing.
