Of Witches and Wolves

Chapter 3 - Get Out

ABIGAILS POV 

"You can end this torture... Just bring him back" Marcus uttered in my ear. Tears dripped down my cheek as I realized where I was. I struggled against the chains that encircled my wrists once more. But they were too strong, and I couldn't make them budge. Marcus was looking down on me with a scowl that meant danger.

I shake my head "No... I'm not here. Tyler saved me" I say, trying to figure out what was going on. I couldn't be back here. I just couldn't. I would've remembered if he had come back. If he had kidnapped me again. I didn't though.

"You think you're worth saving" he says and gives a chilling chuckle "Now that's hilarious" he says and plunges an iron dagger into my stomach. I let out a scream at the burning sensation that followed.

I woke up gasping for fresh air. The pain in my stomach was still there, but it was fading with every second I was awake. It had felt so real though. I look around and take in my surroundings. They weren't exactly familiar. But I had seen them before. Right... I was in my room. In Tyler's house. I hear a knock at my door and jump slightly at the suddenness of it.

"W-who is it?" I ask, stumbling my words as I did

"It's me... Can I come in?" he asks hurriedly. It was Tyler.

"Y-yes" I say. The door quickly opens, and he walks in with an unreadable expression on his face. I wipe my tears away in embarrassment as he takes a seat next to me.

"Are you okay?" he asks, searching my face for his answer

I nod "Just a bad dream" I say and give a weak smile. He goes to speak but decides not to before any sound comes out. He didn't know what to say as much as I didnt. We never did get around to talking about things. About him being my mate. After what seemed like an eternity of awkward silence Tyler finally speaks "I have some duties to take care of today. I won't be home till later. I'm gonna send someone to watch over you though" he explains. I nod. I suppose he must've been busy as a leader of a pack. I guess I could just catch up on tv or something. I wonder who he was going to send to 'watch over' me. Whatever watch over meant. My thoughts are interrupted as Tyler places his hand on mine. Sparks danced over my palm where his fingers touched me. I pulled my hand back because of how shocking the sensation was. I look at Tyler and his eyes are downcast as he pulls his hand back too.

"I'll be back around dinner time" he says and leaves. I am left staring at my empty door as he hurries away. I hope I didn't upset him; but something told me that I did. I let out a sigh and get up, not wanting to go back to sleep. I walk over to my cupboard and see the clothes I had been gifted. Some of them weren't really my style. Like the pink sundress for example. After searching for what seemed like too long, I grab a pair of grey leggings and a black jumper. Something simple. I quickly put them on and then look at myself in the floor length mirror on the cupboard door. It looked fine.

I take one last look at my room before walking out the door and into the hallway. The walls were a pastel yellow. The same as in my room. They really brightened up everything I walked down the hallway and entered the main room, which had an open floor plan. To my right was the kitchen. There was a stove, an oven and a kitchen island. And basically, everything else you would find in a kitchen. To my left was a beautiful loungeroom with suede couches and a tv on the wall. I make my way to the couch and grab the tv remote from the little glass coffee table in the centre of the couches. I switch the tv on and lay down on the couch, watching reruns of charmed.

An hour must have passed when the doorbell rang. The sound of the doorbell seemed like such a mundane thing when I thought about where I was and all the crazy things that had happened the past few days. I reluctantly get up off of the couch and walk over to the door, which was to the back of the loungeroom, just before the hallway started. I open it, wondering if Tyler was back. It wasn't Tyler though. It was a stranger/

"Hi, I'm Alex" he says and gives a goofy smile.

I smile back "I'm Abigail"

"Alpha sent me to watch over you. Consider me your personal guard"

"Is he that scared of me?" I ask and chuckle. I open the door wide so he can come in. He walks in and looks around. I wonder if he'd ever been to this house before. But he probably had.

Alex shakes his head and laugh "No he just doesn't want anything to happen to you. We've had a lot of rouge attacks lately"

"Right. Of course. Silly me" I say and walk back over to the couch. Alex looks at what I'm watching and rolls his eyes. Okay, not a charmed fan I see.

"Isn't it ironic for a witch to be watching charmed? Do you want to play a game of monopoly or something?" he asks and cracks another smile

"I suppose it is a bit ironic. Monopoly sounds good" I say. Alex grabs the game which was tucked away in a cupboard in the loungeroom and leads me over to the dining table. I take a seat and watch as he expertly sets the game up. I'd never played before, but I'd seen ads on tv about it and it looked pretty fun from what I saw. I pick out the dog as my piece and Alex picks the top hat.

----------- 6 hours later ------------

"Okay that cannot be fair! How can I owe you two hundred and fifty dollars rent?" I ask, my eyes popping out of my head at the crazy amount of money that was. I had to admit though I was having fun. Alex was super light-hearted, and he made me laugh. Which considering everything, might just be short of a miracle.

"I told you! You landed on one of my hotels. They cost a lot to land on" he explains with a chuckle

I grumble and hand over the last of my money "This game is stupid" I say and huff

"Aww I'm sorry" Alex says

"Whatever..." I say and pout jokingly.

He grips my jaw gently and lifts my face up so I'm looking at him. "Please forgive me" he says and pouts back. Before I could move away I hear a piercing growl that makes me jump in surprise. I look to the door and see Tyler who was fuming. His eyes were a golden yellow and his teeth had changed to wolf fangs. Alex stands up, his whole body stiffening.

"Alpha its not-" he goes to say but is quieted by another loud growl. I was frozen in place and my blood ran cold. I didn't know what to say or do. Tyler walks up to him and grabs him by the throat. I jump back, not wanting to be in the crossfire. I could feel my breathing increase as memories from the rouge camp threatened to overwhelm me. Of when Marcus would have the same look in his eyes just before he tortured me.

"You do not touch her" he growls out angrily

"S-stop" I say "Y-you're frightening me"

Tyler looks at me, his hand still on Alex's throat. His eyes soften when he sees how scared I was.

He lets Alex go "Get out" he commands him
