The Alpha's Saviour

Chapter 27 - Games

Jaycee's POV:

"Same rules as last time, if you ask a easy question I can only ask and easy one in return, same goes for a hard questions or if you ask to touch-"

"Yeah yeah I get it. If I touch something you can in return, like last time. Agreed." I say taking a deep breath, ignoring his smirk at my interruption. "You go first."

Viren nods with a thoughtful expression on his face. After a moment of pondering he leaned forward, elbow resting on his knees. "Why did you provide comfort to someone who has only ever caused you pain?"

Frost makes an appearance in my mind. "Sorry I've been so quiet lately I've been healing our memory but it's taking some time." I smile at her presence happy she is with me now. 
"Is that your wolf?" Viren asks noticing my smile. I drop it instantly realising my guard has dropped.

"We need to be more careful Jay, he is still an enemy." Frosts word fill my mind and I realise I hadn't replied to either question. 
"That's a second question Viren, which one would you like me to answer?"

"The first one." He said with a genuine grin on his face. 
"To answer your question Viren, I know what it's like to be in pain. I feel it every second of the day, apart from today being the exception, however the day isn't over yet." He frowns at my words. "I also don't want to turn into the monsters who mistreat me. Those who have lost their way."

Viren's POV:

The way my name sounded on her lips sent chills down my spine. They vanished the second she spoke about her constant pain. I hid my emotions behind a mask perfected over many many years of training. The only one ever to weaken it, a girl sitting on a bed in front of me, possessing the most angelic light blue eyes and hair.
A part of me wanted to earn her trust, but that would only break her heart once she discovers what we intend to do to her and the others in one short week. I wont have a fall proof plan before then, that much was clear. "I don't think you could ever turn into one of us." I spoke my mind realising I had unintentionally included myself in that sentence. It was the truth. I was a monster, one who killed innocent and guilty alike. I tell myself it's for the grater good, but each life is still a life. I swallowed looking back up into her watchful gaze. She frowned.

"Viren, who we are doesn't make us monsters, it's genetics. What we do-"

"I know." I cut her off not wanting her to miss judge me. I wasn't good. I didn't deserve for her to think that of me. "Your turn."

"Why are you here Viren?" She asked gesturing around the room. "Do you wish me harm?" I smirked. 
"That's two questions darling, which one are you asking?"

Her smile returned mine. " The first one." She said with amusement.

"Sadly that's a complicated question. One I cannot answer truthfully at this stage. Would you be happy for me to tweak it a little? How about "why am I here today?" She nods before I answer. I swallow knowing I could speak only the truth.   "I'm here for you. There is something about you that calls out to me. I would like to get to know you Jaycee." I watch as she swallows nervously though her heart doesn't so much as speed up. She was good at masking her emotions I realised. Being here has changed her though not in the way it's changed everyone else. She is stronger, smarter and more calculating. I could see it in the way she searched my eyes. She didn't bother watching my pulse or my fingers twitch, the only movement her eyes made were to my eyes; and occasionally my eyebrows. It was as though she could see into my soul. Not that I have one. 
"My turn." I say thinking of another question. "May I see your wolf?"

"No." her answer was quick. 
"Why not?" I ask not understanding why she would refuse. 
"Because you don't have a beast your willing to show me in return." I froze digesting the way she phrased her words. She said beast I'm not willing to show her, not wolf I don't possess. Surely she couldn't have figured out what I am. This would complicate things if she has. No it's simply not possible. I haven't fed on any human blood in almost a week, and my eyes are still blue.
