🎶Changes - XXXTENTACION

Jacqueline's POV:

To say I'm terrified right now would be an understatement. As I return my gaze to Xavier, who was aggressively glaring daggers at me, I'm shitting my pants. Hayden, on the other hand, is looking at Aspen as if he's never seen a girl before while also being enraged. My predicament can now go one of two ways:

1. Experiencing Xavier's wrath and being punished

Or

2. Play the role of the curious cat and ask Aspen how she managed to mindlink me while still facing Xavier's wrath.

So both involve facing Xavier's fury, but one is more advantageous to me. Argh, I'm undecided... Let's see what happens...

"GET OUT OF THE CAR RIGHT NOW!" They commanded.

Aren't we in serious trouble

I walked out first, softly closing the door, and then Aspen followed. We both stood with our hands up, as if we were ready to be arrested, facing our enraged companions.

Come here now, both of you!" Hayden exclaimed loudly.

We took a cautious approach until we were approximately a safe distance away from them but still close enough. Hayden became enraged when Aspen became interested in her shoes.

What he doesn't realise is that back in the pack, she wasn't supposed to look anyone in the eyes, especially high-ranking members, and it's become a habit of hers to do so whenever she comes across high-ranking members, including myself and Landon.

"Look at me, Aspen," Hayden hissed, his teeth clenched.

I shifted my gaze to her trembling, frail frame, debating whether to look him in the eyes or continue staring at her shoes. My best friend, on the other hand, isn't one to defy a command. She raised her head, scared of what was about to happen to her, her punishment. But I can see she's already preparing for whatever it is and has decided it's justified.

I could hear her faint tears, her uncomfortable shifting one leg to the other, biting her bottom lip to keep her cries from reaching any other ears but hers, as he scowled daggers at her. He kept staring at her, looking for a reaction, and he could see the threatening tears that were about to spill forth glitter in her eyes. Unexpectedly, he struck, wrapping his large, harsh, rough hand around her neck and steadily squeezing until he was nearly suffocating her.A cascade of tears streamed down her scared face as she attempted, but failed horribly, to stop herself from hyperventilating. Xavier stood there, his gaze fixed on the scene in front of him.

Stop gazing and stop him, Xavier.'

'I wish I could, but he used his Alpha command,'

I yelled at Hayden, "Stop it, you're going to kill her!"

He gave me a growl.
