Life After the Storm

I know that I can't run, there is nowhere to run. I need to stay and fight. As much as I hate all that has happened to me, I know this is where I belong and Landon is my Alpha and I need to save him. I go to open the bookcase door, I then look back at Jayden and smile, "I'll be right back, I love you."

Even though he is upset with me, a smile appears on his face, "I love you too, Lilly."

I open the bookcase as quietly as possible. Knowing that I cannot be heard, the consequences could be awful. It is so dark it's hard to see. Then all of a sudden, I can see a golden glow, shocked when I realiz it's coming from me. My eyes are glowing. Once blinded by the dark, but now I can see everything. I can still feel discomfort from Landon, but they must be letting him rest to heal a little. Before they begin to torture him even more.

I'm confused about how I can feel his pain. I don't understand, but I don't have time to try to figure that out right now. I try to listen for any type of noise, but I hear nothing. Have they given up and left, or are they waiting? Is it a trap? I am not sure what to believe. I just want to help. But what scares me is what if my help leads to our deaths.

I get to the staircase, knowing that once I go down the stairs, there is no going back. Do I really want to know the truth about what is happening? Or should I just say fuck it and run far from here? I just can't knowing how it feels to have no family in this world, I can't allow Jayden to suffer to feel the pain that I feel every day.

I need to dim my eyes, but I'm not sure how to do so. I then just give it a shot. I close my eyes and I then begin to think of darkness. I slowly begin to open my eyes, praying that it worked and when I see everything is black, I know that it worked. I walk down the steps, still not hearing anything. I make my way to the dining room, where I believed it was where Landon was being tortured.

Suddenly, I heard a big Bang, as I turned around. I see the front door being pushed open and smashing against the wall. I then hide myself into the darkness, worry I'm unseen. I see 2 men holding up what looks to be a lifeless body. When the scent hits my nose, I then realize that it is my mate.

Anger overcomes me, and I am unable to control it as I shift into my wolf. I wait for them to get closer and as they do, I then jump the first one as I rip his throat out and his lifeless body falls to the ground. The other man comes storming towards me, and I wait for the perfect timing. My jaw's latch on to his skull as I bite down, and it turns it to nothing but mush.

I walk over to my mate, licking his wounds, healing him and whimpering, knowing he is hurt. It must just be instinct to protect your mate. Wondering why I didn't feel him being hurt, but I felt when Landon was being tortured. I am worried that if they took Ivan down, is the entire pack gone.

I am so full of rage, I am not sure how to control it. I want to rip them to shreds, every single last one of them, Including Dean, the trader that he is. I then Rush over to the front door, I shut it and lock it. Hoping that Ivan wakes up faster, Knowing I'm going to need his help. I will not be able to defeat these monsters on my own, But I will make sure that they pay for every life that they have taken.

I didn't want to get Jayden involved, but I have no other choice with Ivan not healing fast enough. We are guaranteed to get caught. As I shift back into my human, I am shocked by my strength. It is remarkable I picked up Ivan and threw him over my shoulder. It's like he weighs nothing. I then make my way to Jayden, as I get to the bookcase I knock. I watch as it opens.

"Jayden, I need your help. I need you to heal him, please. Well, I go find your father."

I then make my way into the hidden room and lie Ivan on the bed. As I look at him, I'm surprised I don't feel hatred, I feel sadness. I wonder if it is the bond, or do I really feel upset because of the state that he is in. I go to walk out of the room. Jayden grabs a hold of my hand. "Lilly, please be careful, I can't lose you either."

I look at him and for once, I do see fear, his fear of losing me. All this time I had the fear of losing him, not realizing he had the same for me." Jayden, I will be back, I promise you."

As I walk out and watch the bookcase close from behind me and lock it. Suddenly, a confidence that I did not have before overcomes me. I have to be strong because he doesn't just need Landon, he needs me also. I won't allow him to have anyone he loves taken away from him again.

I then begin to make my way down to where they were holding Landon. Not caring, I am naked in my human form, knowing I may have to shift again. There is no time to be self conscious. I need to move alone and not waste time. Hoping that he is there alive, and I'm able to save him. I tried to mind link him to ask where he is, but there is no answer. He probably fainted from all the pain that they have made him suffer.

I try to pick up Landon's scent, but I can't. I'm worried. I used to love his scent surrounding me, the smell of pine. It reminded me of Christmas. My family and I favorite holiday. Some of my greatest memories o them. I begin to wonder what does it mean If I'm unable to pick up his scent, is he gone? As much as I am angry at him and I wish that he never did what he did, I still don't want to lose him.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

As I am searching for him, I'm not having any kind of luck. I have no idea where he could be, but I know he is not here. Wondering where the hell he could, but he is ok, he just has to be okay. I know he did wrong, but he isn't all bad. There is so much more good in him than bad. Fuck, I need to find him, I then hear my name faintly, but I hear it. Not knowing where the hell it's coming from.

I begin to look around frantically trying to find him But I don't see him. I become confused wondering if I am hearing things. Then suddenly I feel something wet hit my cheek when I go to look up, and I am horrified by what I see. They nailed him to the fucking ceiling. How is that even possible?

I am not even sure what the fuck to do to even get him down. I watch as his chest moves. I then know he is alive, thankfully. I need to come up with a plan and fast before they come back looking for their pack members that I killed. I then push the kitchen table underneath him.

I began to start pulling the nails from his body that is holding him to the ceiling. Hoping that he doesn't bleed too much that it kills him. As I watch the blood just pour out of him, I then realize I need to come up with something better. So, I then decide to lick his wounds from each nail once it closes, then move on to the next nail, so this way it should prevent him from bleeding out.

The pain that they have caused him, regardless of what he had done, he didn't deserve this kind of treatment. As I am holding his body up with one hand, pulling the nails out with the other. His arm comes down and accidentally smacks me in the face, almost losing my balance as my hand comes off of him, and he falls to the table breaking it and me falling on my ass to the floor.

I stood up in a panic, knowing there's no way they did not hear that crash. I wasn't able to fully heal him. Before I know it, I see the front door swing open. I'm not sure what to do. Should I run and hide, or should I stand my ground? Before I can even decide, I am spotted, and they begin to surround me.
