Chapter 24
What do you see Ben? Is there a baby?” Cameron asked as I laid on the floor crying.
“No” he uttered
“Good. Now I’m going to go get ready. Send her in an hour” Cameron said and walked out the room.
“Emily...” Ben sighed and I shook my head curled onto the floor.
“No Ben. You didn’t have to tell him I was pregnant” I whispered
“He was going to find out. You find out really quickly, remember? Especially when you’re a vampire? I’m sorry. I didn’t know he was going to do this. I thought, if I tell him that you’re pregnant, he might leave you for a couple of days and then you could escape” he explained and I closed my eyes and shook my head.
“Just leave me alone. Please” I whispered and then heard a door close. I opened my eyes to see I was alone in the cell.
I’m sorry. I’m sorry I couldn’t protect our baby Alec. I wish I could. But I’m useless.
I laid on the floor, my hand over my stomach and just looked up at the ceiling.
There was a small window on the side. I stood up slowly and walked closer to it. I could see the trees outside and was confused on where I was.
All of a sudden I heard running. I consendrated on the noise to see they were far away.
“Come on Emily” I heard Ben come back into the room.
“Ben. There’s someone here. I can hear it. What if it’s Alec?” I asked turning to him.
“It will be hard for Alec to find us. There’s a shield around us. Wait! I can take the shield away” he said closing his eyes.
He muttered some words and opened them.
“I took the shield away, and they should see the warehouse. You have to come with me Emily. We’re going to pretend to take you to Cameron, but we’ll go to the exit” he mumbled and I nodded.
“You’re lying?” I asked and he shook his head
“It’s my job to get you out” he said and I was shocked
“Your job? But you have been here since I was taken Ben, why didn’t you help me then?” I asked confused
“I- I was the bad guy that time Emily. But now- now I’ve changed. I want to help people. I want to be become good. And the first thing I need to do is save you. I know I was always mean to you. But maybe you could forgive me?” He sighed and I nodded
“Okay” I smiled slightly and he nodded
“Now come on” he opened the cell door fully and walked out.
“Out!” He shouted and I nodded
I walked out the room and followed him upstairs.
“Turn left” he whispered and I did.
I saw a small door, and Ben nodded to it. I opened the door to see the forest.
“You go throug-” I heard running and Ben did too.
Infront of us stood over 100, wolves. And the one leading them was Alec.
“Cameron knows they’re here!” Ben said and ran back inside.
“Ben!” I shouted and he turned around
“What about you?” I asked as Alec ran to me and shifted into his human self.
“I’ll be fine” he said and ran around the corner as Alec hugged me.
“Emily....” he sighed not letting me go.
“I’m sorry Alec” I whispered and he shook his head and looked at me.
“It’s okay” he wiped my eyes
“You’re naked” I blushed and he shrugged
“You’re mine” he stated before crashing his lips on mine. He didn’t kiss me, he just tangled his hands in my hair and held me tightly.
“At least wear something Alec. I don’t want anyone staring at you” I mumbled against his lips
“Jealous?” He chuckled and I shook my head
“No” I blushed as someone threw him a pair of shorts. He wore them and hugged me again.
“Why didn’t you use your powers against Cameron Emily?” He whispered in my ear
“I’m scared of Cameron” I replied back wrapped my hands around his neck.
“Don’t be. Don’t be scared of anyone. You can’t be” he whispered and growled at something behind me. He let me go and made me stand behind him. I looked over his shoulder to see Cameron and his rouges pack.
“So you think you can take her away from me?” Cameron asked
“You mother fucker! We trusted you!” Alec shouted as Cam came outside.
“No point. I am the joke of that pack!” He spat out and Alec growled
“Ben! Kill them all except Emily” Cameron ordered and I looked at Ben.
“No!” He muttered and Cameron was shocked as I smiled slightly
“What!” He shouted
“I said no. I don’t want anything to do with this anymore. I’m not on your side” Ben walked towards us and Alec moved closer to me.
“It’s okay Alec. He helped me out!” I smiled at him
“You fucking traitor” Cameron shouted and that was the sign to attack. Alec’s pack ran forward and Nat walked towards me.
“Come on Emily” Nat pulled on my arm.
“But wha-” she shook her head and pulled me away from everyone. I saw Alec shift into his wolf, before jumping on someone and ripping their head off.
Nat pulled me to a car and made me sit inside.
“I’m taking you home” she said starting the car
“But-”
“No Emily. Just listen to me! It’s my job to take you home. Now shush” she exclaimed driving through the forest.
I kept quiet, just staring out the window, hoping everyone is okay.
After 30 minutes of Nat driving fast, we reached our territory to see half of it on fire.
“Oh shit!” Nat jumped out with me behind her, as the car exploded
I fell to the floor and Nat pulled me behind the tree.
“It’s rouges! They don’t want any of the royal family to be alive and you are! Do your powers work?” She asked and I shook my head
“Cameron injected me with something so my powers don’t work” I mumbled and she nodded as we heard a bang.
“Okay Emily. I want you to stay here, and I’m going to go get everyone out of the pack house” she stood up
“Wait! I want to come with you!” I muttered standing up and she shook her head
“I can’t Emily. You need to be safe!” She ran to the pack house.
I looked behind the tree to see rouges going into the pack house.
I’m sorry Nat! I thought and slowly ran inside to the pack house.
I saw rouges running upstairs. I ran to the kitchen, to see a a guy pushing the fridge away.
I put my hand out and thought of my powers. It didn’t work.
“Hey!” I shouted and the guy turned around.
“You want me right? Well catch me” I shouted and ran out the pack house with most of them behind me.
Nat! Get them all out I mindlinked her
Emily! Ugh fine! She mindlinked me back as I ran into someone. I looked up to see a guy standing there with brown hair and brown eyes
“We have her!” He smirked at me,grabbing my hand.
“Let me go!” I shouted kicking him in his privates. Always the best place! I thought as he groaned
I ran away and I could hear them all behind me.
They’re all safe Emily. Now get back inside the pack house! Nat mindlinked me
The pack house! Nat get them out of there. Take them to the palace! I explained to her
Okay. But you have to come back! We’re not leaving with out you! She replied and I mentally nodded.
“She’s so fucking fast!” I heard a tired voice behind me and I stopped. I turned around to see no one behind me.
I went a little to fast! I thought sighing. I walked fast to the pack house to see Nat waiting outside, with everyone already shifted.
“Finally!” She exclaimed as I walked closer to her.
“Quickly shift Natalie. They will be coming soon!” I muttered and she nodded.
She striped out of her clothes quickly, and shifted into her big brown wolf.
“You can tell you’re the beta female. You all look amazing. Now let’s go!” I exclaimed as I heard the footsteps.
They all turned around and ran as fast as they could. Natalie ran with me.
After 30 minutes of running, we reached Lockridge Falls.
Emily! Where are you?” Alec mindlinked me, worried.
Lockridge Falls I replied back as everyone shifted back and wore their clothes.
“Luna! Are you okay?” Everyone asked and I nodded
“I’m fine” I mumbled smiling slightly
“Where’s Alpha?” Someone asked
“I think he’s coming. Can someone tell me how the pack house was on fire?” I asked as the two guards walked towards us. I still don’t know their names.
“Luna, Alpha is coming. You can go inside” he said and I shook my head
“We’ll wait for them.” I said and they both nodded
“Luna before Alpha left, he told us to sit in the pack house. And all of a sudden, fire started in the safe house. Nobody was inside though. And we saw it was rouges. And then you came” a girl explained and I nodded just as Alec and the other wolves ran towards us. Alec shifted back and hugged me.
“I was so scared” he whispered as everyone hugged each other.
“I’m okay Alec” I whispered back hugging him tightly
“What happened?” He let me go and looking at me.
“Rouges, they were after me” I mumbled and he hugged me again.
“It’s okay Emily. Nobody is taking you” he kissed my cheek and I blushed.
He held my hand and wore shorts. He turned to everyone.
“As you can see our pack house, is destroyed. I will find us ano-”
“We can live here. I am the princess, and we should be able to live here right?” I asked and he nodded
“We can but Emil-”
“Please Alec” I sighed tired and he nodded
“Fine! But we need to clean this place up. First of all is everyone okay, if you are injured, let Kayden help you” Alec said and everyone shook their heads
“No alpha” they replied and he nodded
“The shield on this place has been removed, so you can go straight in. Some of you come with back to the pack house, and we’ll sort the fucking rouges out, and get our stuff” Alec said and everyone nodded.
“I’ll stay here with everyone else” I said and he nodded as most people walked inside the castle.
“First a kiss” he leaned closer to me
“Alec but-” I mumbled and he crashed his lips on mine. Our lips moved in sync as he lifted me off the ground slowly. I broke the kiss and looked down at him.
“Can you put me down?” I asked and he shook his head
“No” he smirked looking up at me.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t save our baby” I whispered and he shook his head
“I saw the video, Emily. And it’s not your fault. I still love you. And who knows, we might have more kids” he smirked at the end, pecking me, as I blushed
“So you’re not upset with me?” I asked and he put me down and shook his head
“No Emily. Never! I know it’s not your fault. Yes I am upset that our first baby couldn’t be bought into this world but I can never be upset with you. It’s not your fault” he said and I nodded
“Thank you Alec” I smiled and he shook his head.
“No Emily. Thank you!” He smirked
“Alpha we’re ready” a guy interrupted us and Alec nodded
“Emily, stay safe okay?” He kissed my cheek and I nodded
“Bye” he said and ran with the other guys out of the forest.
“Let’s clean this place up” I mumbled to myself.
