Think Again Alpha

Chapter 33

"I can't believe I don't remember any of that." Jayden says flabbergasted after listening to me explain everything to him.

"I can't believe you said you love Ashley." I state.

He shivers in disgust, "you're telling me. I'm disgusted with myself."

I laugh, "I was kidding Jayden, don't be too hard on yourself. You were obviously under some kind of trance, I noticed your wolf was trying hard to fight whatever kind of spell you were under."

He gives me an odd look, "So my wolf knew what was going on?"

I nod my head as we make our way back to the camp grounds. "Yeah. And what's also strange is the fact that a voice popped into my head telling me to not listen to Ashley and 'don't give up on us'. The voice even told me that something was making you act strange." I shrug.

He looks down at me, "the voice said to not give up on us?" I nod and he ponders the idea for a moment. Finally he says, "was the voice deep and a little raspy?"

I think about it, "actually yeah it was. How did you know?"

He smirks, "Cause that voice is in my head all the time. That was my wolf. I don't know how, but he must have talked to you."

My jaw drops. "You're wolf managed to communicate with me? Is that even possible?"

He shrugs and I can see the camp getting closer. "Who knows. Probably. I mean we can mind link so I don't see why he can't find a way to contact you."

"Impressive. So how did you end up with Ashley anyway? What's the last thing you remember?"

We enter the camp grounds near Jayden's tent. We stop there and continue our conversation.

"I remember finishing setting up my tent and throwing my stuff into it. Then Ashley came over. I was about to tell her off, but once we made eye contact I just don't remember anything."

I growl lightly, still pissed at her for putting Jayden in a trance. Especially a trance where he acted like he loved her. How messed up in the head do you have to be in order to manipulate someone into loving you? The other guy was so willing to obey her as well. Oh. Hold on a second. I'm starting to put two and two together.

"Wait Jayden. I think the guy that took me was under her control as well. I still don't know how, but she must have manipulated him too. His eyes were dilated and empty, just like yours were. But you put up a fight, the other boy was deep in the trance."

"What was his name again?" He asks.

"Aaron I think."

"Aaron. Really?" I nod. "I'm going to talk to him." He turns to head toward the camp fire.

I reach my hand out and grab his large bicep. "Wait!"

He looks down at me. "What's wrong?"

"You're not going to get mad at him right? I'm pretty sure he was under her control."

He sighs, "I might be pissed that he dragged you off like that, but I'm not irrational. I just want to talk to him to see if he can remember anything. We need to get to the bottom of this and figure out how she was able to control us."

I nod in agreement. "Okay sounds good. But one last question. What are we going to do about Ashley? We can't let her get away with this."

He lets out a cold laugh. "Oh trust me, she won't. When we get back from this trip I will talk to my dad. There is no way he is going to take this lightly."

"Do you think he will believe me?"

"You mean believe us. Of course he will. He may not like our relationship, but he would hate someone manipulating my head even more. Who knows, maybe this will even get my dad to stop pestering me into dating Ashley."
