I wasn't always like this, Cama seeney [microsoft ebook reader txt] 📗

against the door. On the seventh time it suddenly opened, the door thrown back an angry figure stood there eyes blazing jaw clenching.

 

'Help me, I'm trapped in my own mind' I screamed before she rammed him. Instead of falling on the floor like I expected us too. No, instead arms wound around my bruised stolen body. I was forcibly held still by the sheer muscle, there was no way she would escape, well I hoped. She thrusted our body forward towards the black haired forked tonged freak, pushed our lips against his and much to her approval he stepped back annoyed. This gave her enough time and space to shift. Her growl sounded more like a purr as she pushed past the shocked warrior only to run into two more, taking little notice she ran faster. Slamming through strange doors we found ourselves in a long succession of doors. The closest smell we could sense was Sol's, first she had to deal with him. In her mind’s eye she saw Leo with the biggest warrior, she somehow knew he'd be just fine.

 

Would I ever get my own body back?

 

Our retracted claws still dug into the plush cream carpet, running down a massive staircase we were met with the stench of fear, sweat and urine. Sneezing we entered the room slowly, creeping in a predator like stance we passed three captives all of them wolves. You could smell the guilt, man flesh and night air none were currently all that welcoming to her.

 

'Sister, save us sister!' She shifted if almost on command. 'No one saves the dammed but the devil.' She strolled past like some kind of queen (which I guess she was) and walked straight up to sol in his pitiful chained up state. 'Hello darling.' She purred in a voice that was so unlike mine, it was so smooth and gentle. Like a caress.

 

He walked up to the cages front with a stupid grin on his face. 'Open the cage.' He demanded, he looked like he wanted to burst from barely controlled humour. 'You forget my dear, that I am the Alpha. You are a beta. Do you know what a beta family is? No, Well its a family dammed to always serve someone else, even when that alpha dies you will not succeed him. Know why? Cause your pathetic, you lowely peice of shit beta.' His face was hysterical, she turned us on our heal and marched away. Every step we marched twards Leo, every foot fall away from that pathetic excuse for a wolf she felt better, stronger.  

Chapter 8

He was in the middle of an extravagant living room, bouncing on a seriously expensive setae. 'Little lion what has your mother told you about jumping on furniture?' Came a motherly voice from my mouth. This whole trapped in my own mind thing was getting old. 'Well what has she told you about stealing her body?' Came Leo's little voice as he approached us carefully, he wasn’t sure about my wolf side which was what I wanted, and I didn't want him to be comfortable around my kind. 'Erm do it outside?' Came her uncertain response, Leo's face lit up and he ran over catching her hand and pulling us from the room. 'Leo where are you taking us?' I asked concerned.

 

'Outside mother!' He told me in his duhh voice. 'No baby, don't show us, were kind of a flight risk right now.' I warned him, kneeling at his feet. Concern lit his face 'Mommy has your belly not stopped its owwie yet?' He placed his hand upon it with worry overflowing in his eyes.

 

You better take over you know I'm not very good with him, he’s your cub not mine.

No he’s our cub, but yes I am a little better. Give yourself time, wolves become surrogates all the time.

 

'I'm not sure my sweet.' A single tear fell down his face. 'I was so scared mommy.'  I laughed softy 'Am I only worth a single tear now, is food worth like three.' I tickled him till his grumpy face fled and his dimpled cheeks once again shone. 'Naa your worth maybe two, depends if you cook me stake or not.' He wiggled from my tickling arms then ran back in to tickle me back. We ended up rolling on the floor in a fit of giggles. I pinned him between my thighs and tickled until he called it with laughter filled tears fled his eyes. 'Told you I was worth more, admit it!' I mock shouted hands poised to tickle him again.

 

'Fine you’re worth a moon full.' He told me sitting up and kissing the mark he had bitten on my shoulder only three months ago. 'Now that is too many tears for anyone.' Came a kind, deep voice. It was the warrior I had seen before, I knew he would check up on him. His bright blue eyes shone like that of an ocean, black covered him head to toe but it wasn’t the mat black the mean warrior wore. His managed to contrast with his blond hair just right, though he looked dangerous he appeared approachable. In his arms was Lucero's bear Musik 'This smells like you, it was your brothers no?' Asked the kind warrior. I nodded and smiled sadly 'Cancer is our Akelies heal.' I told him absent mindly.

 

'Prisoners escaped!' Shouted an irate voice, I stifled a giggle in Leo’s shoulder and shouted back 'Really which one?' I smiled before walking towards the black haired dragon and offered my hands in peace, he took a step back and wrinkled his nose. His eyes were a vibrant grey that brought out the colour of his chin length curly hair, his facial hair was the same colour. His complexion was pale and lips almost red. 'Don’t worry she's under control she won’t try anything again.' He nodded before taking one of my wrists in his arm, I gasped and pulled it back immediately. He turned quickly ashamed filling his face, he took my hand carefully and inspected the skin.

 

'It's fine it’ll heal it always does.' I told him looking away ashamed, he coughed awkwardly before muttering an apology. 'I-it's okay it's not your fault.' He stopped and turned to face me. 'Why are you hear?' He asked. 'Erm hate to say it but I didn't really have a choice.' I told him looking at the wall beside his head as we continued our walk forward, I didn't feel safe with these people I didn't know them. 'You don't need to be nervous around us, I heard you. When you were talking to Leo. I know that you told him to come here. It's been playing on my mind!' He told me exasperated. I sighed before pacing before him, I was restless again.

 

'I-I think she was an elder, her name was aurora. She was trespassing. H-he looked like my little brother, I had to help her. My mother it was my fault, all my fault. My dad couldn’t stand me, Aurora told me to come here. When he was too much to handle but we didn’t have anywhere else to go, we were heading here anyway. He’s grown so quickly, he’s one not five!' I told him exhausted, silently he nodded and led me back to my room, and there I quickly settled myself back in bed and slept.

 

I woke a little while later to the black haired guy sneaking back into my room, 'don’t charge me I don’t look good in pieces.' He held up two cups, I could smell the tea. ‘Dude it's I come in pieces and tea has as much caffeine as coffee so why tea?' I asked confused, he shot me an equally confused look as he sat on the edge of my bed. 'Its caffeine free chill.' Said the smaller warrior I had seen before. 'Blake get outta here I don't need a trainee truth finder.' He told what appeared to be a smaller version of himself. 'Awh Dustin comeon, what’s she gonna do bite me?' He snorted, Dustin shot me a look as if to say help me. I jumped up out of bed and tackled him to the ground 'Might do' I said laughing, 'Never stand in reach of someone who held a knife at you mere hours ago.' I told him sitting back on 'my' bed and drinking the dark sweet tea. 'So how many of you are there?' I asked Dustin he seemed more approachable. 'There are ten of us. I’m Dustin this is Aiden. T-Rex is the big guy, his real name is Alexander but he'd probably punch me if I told you that. He has a twin brother called Gabriel, twice as grumpy know the difference or it could kill you. Look into their eyes, Gabe’s are much darker. Liam is our Alpha, his little sister Jesse - who by the way is outside of the room.'

 

She walked attentively into the room, her hair was a deep red that matched her green fiery eyes. She held up a hair brush in surrender. Her long red hair was one bundle of knots, which was not surprising because it reached her hips. She held up her hair brush tears trailing down her face. 'Come here sweetie I can untangle it.' She grinned and ran at me, jumping on my lap from half way across the room, I caught her easily half expecting her to. 'How old is she?' I asked already concentrating on her long blond hair, she was so quiet. 'Two, I swear she was cute just yesterday.' Dustin taunted her, she stuck out her tong and continued to sit still. 'Who else is there?' I asked interested. 'Well there’s Carter - blond giant he’s almost half as friendly as Gabe but he isn't like us and he hates wolves so be careful of him. He and Daniel are scouts, Daniels different too. For starters he’s a massive nerd. Oh and he’s not a dragon he shifts into an owl it’s really cool. Then there’s Caleb and his little brother Levi he’s my age, there both Dragons, there both great cooks though they really don’t like Carter and Dan –I’d stay away from them too they don’t get on with anyone who’s not Dragon.’ A clatter of feet bombarded their way into my room. 'Have you seen..? Oh, Jesse what are you doing in here?' Asked Rex softly.

 

I was half way through braiding her hair, I started braiding the rest towards the right as I got to the bottom of her skull. Liam, a guy who smelt of dragon (maybe one of the hater brothers?) and the splitting image of Rex stomped into my room looking annoyed. I started plating even faster before, never taking my eyes off the bigger guy, as soon as he took three steps forward, I tied her hair off and jumped in front of her 'Not in front of children.' I growled, Aiden quickly picked up Jesse and left. 'What right do you have touching the Alphas daughter?' He demanded with a sharp growl, his voice was like pebbles under a car wheel. I stepped forward until I was square in front of him. 'How many times of any of you touched my son?' I
