SWNOVELS Chapter 33
Jace's POV
I was ready in less then 20 minutes and spent the rest of my time playing with my baby girl. Concern still ever present in me whenever I look at her and see how much bigger she is then what she is supposed to be at this age. It's been a hard few months without Skylar around and I know that Lilith misses her mother just as much as I do. Every now and then when I can't sleep I go and sit in Lilith's room watching over her. On nights that Lily can't sleep and nothing seems to soothe her I bring her into my room and lay her on my bed where Sky usually slept. Since her scent is embedded into the sheets it helps to always calm Lilith and she usually falls asleep and stays asleep throughout the night with me.
I was in the living room playing with Lilith when my beta and gamma walked in and informed me it was time to go. I kissed my baby girl on the forehead and on each of her cheeks before I handed her over to Lucy.
"I love you so much my precious little princess. Daddy will be back as soon as he can. I promise that I will do my hardest to bring mommy home with me. I love you so much baby girl you are my whole world, my everything." I say to her as I kiss her head one last time before I looked up to the 4 people who will be taking care of her while I am away. I would prefer to take her with me but I know she will be safer here then with me especially if I am to get her mother back.
"All of you take care of my little girl with your lives. If anything happens to her I will not hesitate to kill any of you.” I say to them in a demanding fatherly tone with a hint of alpha tone mixed in for good measure.
"Don't worry alpha she is in good hands with all of us looking after her. No one will be able to get close enough to her to harm her we promise you that. You know we would give our lives for her for any of you. We love you and her and Skylar just as much as you do you are all of our family. Plus if something happened to her we would punish ourselves way worse then anything you could do to us now go and find our Luna and bring her and yourself home to us safe and sound.” Amber says to me sternly as the twins and Lucy all nod their heads in agreement to what she said towards me.
I nod my head knowing they are the only ones I truly trust my daughter with. I head out with Dalton and the 20 warriors to the airport which takes us about 4 hours to get there considering our pack is nestled pretty deep in the forest and a long ways away from the town and airport. We drove in silence the entire ride as I was too antsy to find out more information about this Alpha and why he took my mate and to make sure I can get her out safely after I tear this son of a bitch limb from limb for touching what is mine.
Skylar's POV
I am sitting in my bedroom not being allowed to leave the room anymore since she-wolves kept coming and attacking me because of Vance kidnapping me and not wanting any of them. He rejected his true mate and I'm pretty sure he killed her after she attacked me and almost killed me. Ever since that night more and more she-wolves have become brazen enough to attack me and try to kill me to prove themselves to Alpha Vance and show that they are better then me. I hate being here all I want to do is to go home and see my daughter and my mate.
Something that has changed since the first month of me being here is that every night Alpha Vance has been sleeping in my bed with me and the only reason I know this is because I wake to him beside me with his arms wrapped around me. On the mornings when he isn't there I can smell his scent all over the bed and all over me. I always go and take a shower and scrub my body until it's red and sore not wanting his scent on me. The only scent I want on me is my mates but he doesn't care about mates he only cares about strong bloodlines and since I come from a very rare and strong bloodline he wants to pup me just to make his bloodline stronger. Every time he tries to make an advance at me I deny him but that makes him angry and he beats me and then locks me in the silver cage in the room for a couple days with barely any food or water. Candy hates seeing me like that and so she always tries her best to sneak me some extra little bits of food and water whenever she can. Candy is the only one that is nice to me some of the guards like to come in and beat me and kiss me against my will as they try to touch me in other places. I can sometimes get some punches or scratches or bites in when they try but then I always end up getting a beating for it before they leave. They know if Vance knew about any of it then they would get punished if not killed for touching his toy.
Today I finally get let out of the cage that I had to spend the last week in. Candy helps me to the bathroom and helps me in the tub and helps me bathe just like the first night I had come here. If it wasn't for my maid Candy watching out for me I probably would have died during the first month I was here. I have tried to escape twice the first time I got caught halfway through my attempt and then I waited until every one thought I was accepting my fate here and so when everyone's guards were down I made my second attempt and got farther. My second attempt was the most promising as I was able to get outside and was running through the forest when I was tackled from behind my one of the guards who pinned me in place until the Alpha showed and dragged me back to my room where he beat me until I passed out and awoke in the silver cell.
Each time I am let out of the cell they lock the silver collar on me until they think I am able to behave myself. They never seem to learn their lessons as I will never stop fighting against them to get free from this place as I refuse to die here. After my bath Candy helps me get dressed in some comfy sweats and a tank top as I lay in the bed and fall asleep I dreamed of running free through a forest when I heard a twig snap and that's when I saw another wolf running directly at me I tried to stop but fell and started tumbling until I hit a tree hard watching as the other wolf made it's way to me slowing as it got closer. Once I was able to get a closer look at the wolf realization hit me knowing that it was Azazel my mates wolf. I let out a wolfey grin and laugh that just sounded like a grunt as I got up and ran to him as I rubbed my muzzle against his as we both purred at the sensation of it that we both have been craving and had been denied for so long now. I stepped a little ways away from him and shifted back to my human form and watched as my mate did the same thing. I ran and jumped into his arms and I crashed my lips against his as we melted into one. We didn't waste any time getting busy in the clearing as we savored the touch and feel of each other. I loved it when he touched me so gently yet rough at the same time and I knew he loved it when I did the same thing to him we fucked each other for hours and came multiple times before we were so exhausted that we layed on the ground in each others arms panting from the vigorous love making we just did. Before I fell asleep in his arms I heard him whisper something to me making me very excited. "I'm here baby and I will be coming for you soon I can't wait to be able to hold you in my arms again. I love you so much Skylar."
I tried to reply but the darkness had consumed me completely as I started to cry and scream I love you too to my mate that was no longer there which made my heart break into a million pieces. I awoke with a start from the dream that felt so god damn real as I felt the tears streaming down my flushed cheeks making me wonder if it was just a dream or if it was something else entirely but I couldn't hope or dwell on what could just be a dream and I had to figure out how to get out of here before this place becomes my grave.
