White Wolf Hybrid ~ The sequel

I threw some scraps of cloth out of the window.. they just fluttered to the ground. Not good enough! I took the little plate my dinner was on and tied it up, inside half the shirt I had had on. Walking over to the window, I slid the plate upright through the bars.. and reached my right arm out..I frisbeed the plate towards the treeline. It busted on a tree.. but that’s even better! Now my scent is a little further out. I start looking for things to weigh the scraps down enough, I can get my scent all over the territory!

I took the little caster wheels off the dresser and used all four of them to throw in different directions. Now.. even if they gather all the scraps.. my scent will have settled into the earth. I ran my hands around the outside of the window, as far as I could reach. That should help.

Now, that my magic is back.. let them try to put me back in chains! Fuck that! I back the little dresser up against the wall, beside the window… and sit on it, in the shadows. And I wait.. tossing my dagger up and catching it. The dawn is breaking..and the morning light is showing what a dismal little room this is!

Dawn of my fifth day. This shit ends today! I am blown away by the stupidity of these people. Underestimating a descendant of the Originals… the Moon Goddess’s chosen..at that… is a huge mistake! And I am done playing by their rules!

The door opens right on time.. It’s my usual morning peepee time! Oh goody! Ethan. His face shows shock when he realizes I’m not chained to the wall.. he swivels his head slowly..until he spots me. I smile “My mate.. my brother.. my grandfather the King, are all going to be here shortly. You should never take what is not yours to take.. Now.. you can wait until my family arrives.. Or you can die, now.. “

He charged me.. trying to get me picked up. I kicked him in the chest.. he stumbled but caught his footing. He turned and charged out the door.. locking me in, before I even knew what happened! That fucker! He ran! He ran and locked me back in here!

I walked to the door with my dagger. Checking the hinges, I began to work the pin out of it.. the first two went smoothly.. the third one, I couldn’t reach. I pulled the table over and stood in it.. pulling the last pin, I got down, moving the table… I pried the door inward from the opposite side. Once it gave way, I was out.

That’s when I smelled it. Smoke.. lots of it.. carefully edging my way down the hall.. I reached near the landing and saw the flames shooting up the stairs.. spinning, I saw bars on the window at the end of the hall. I ran back to the room I escaped from, grabbed the scrap of a blanket they had given me… and ran for the little bathroom. I soaked the blanket in the sink.. and blocked the door from the smoke. I took my tee shirt off and soaked it..before putting it back on.

I pried the little window open.. and miracle of miracles.. there were no bars. Probably thought it was too small for anyone to climb out.. Yeah.. Yep.. Have you met me? And to prove my point.. I shimmied and twisted my body, until I squeezed myself through it. Now.. I’m hanging from a window sill.. of a burning house, and not a soul for miles..

I do the one thing I know to do.. I link my mate

We step through the portal.. right in the living room of Troy’s pack house. He happened to be sitting on a sofa, with some pack slut on his lap.. Loren says “Glad to see you took my words to heart.. and are searching for your mate.. Now, tell me, Troy. Where is my granddaughter?” He sputters and tries to lie his way out of it “I haven’t seen your granddaughter. I don’t know what you’re talking about “

And I tell Loren “He hasn’t seen her.. unless she was unconscious. She told me she hadn’t seen the other man.. only heard him” And the guilty always tell on themselves “What do you mean she told you? She can’t tell you!” And I snatched him up by his throat “You just told me! And were you really so stupid to believe iron chains would hold my mate? MY MATE??”

At the same time.. my mate links me again 🐺 Umm.. babe? I sure hope you’re close. I’m kind of.. sort of.. well. I’m in a bit of a pickle 🐺 What’s wrong? I’m close.. can you tell me where you are? 🐺 Right now, I am hanging from a two story bathroom window sill.. trying to decide whether I should wait on you.. or try jumping. Ethan set the house on fire, you see.. with me locked inside that little room. I escaped, but now I’m hanging outside the bathroom. If you’re close.. follow the smoke and flames.

I turned and said “Arrest him! We have to go! NOW!” And I ran outside to sniff for smoke. Sure enough.. to the east. And I shifted.. running full out to reach her before she has no choice but to jump! Alexander caught up on my left.. with Baron and Jaxson on our flanks. Idris blue eyes were glowing and I wondered if Brutus’s green ones were.

We reached the house and it was totally engulfed in flames. I ran to the back of the house and flames were shooting out of the little bathroom window.. Her eyes met mine and I shifted. “Jump baby! I’ll catch you” She let go and fell backwards.. her trust in me, implicit! I stood below.. with my arms ready.. and she fell into them.

I have only one coherent thought “She is safe and in my arms” It repeated itself over and over in my brain.. the same words in an unending litany… until my heart can believe it!
