The Alpha's Saviour

Chapter 60 - Crumble From Within

Viren's POV:

Prior to leaving the quite forest, I decided to return the favour and catch two pigs for Nala. It was the least I could do after she helped us out with breakfast. My mother also insisted on giving me a haircut before loading up the car.

Apparently I had neglected my appearance for long enough and the comb and sizers were one of many items she had stashed in her bag. Vials of potions and odd ingredients, stones and jewels filled the rest.

My mind went to Jaycee and I wondered if she'd notice and like it? Would she take a second glance after the hell I put her through the last time we met?

I know it sounds petty, but I was nervous about her rejecting our half bond that she thinks has formed due to the illusion. In actual fact we never did anything, so she would easily be able to break our bond.

Taking a deep breath I push open the dinning rooms large double doors. My eyes are drawn on Jaycee's light blue orbs, before quickly assessing her for wounds.

She looks worse for wear. Dirt lines her face and neck, and dried blood runs down her arms. My worry at this moment was stronger than my bodies need to feed.

As I approached the table, we noticed her limbs shake.
Goosebumps littered her skin like a basket ball and I had to bite my tongue to stop my beast and I from lashing out. I wanted nothing more than to wrap her in my arms and protect her from the world. Sadly that was something I couldn't do. Yet.

Her stomach growled out at least three times before I had crossed the dinning room, making my beast and I restless. The need to feed her was intense to say the least.

"Feed Mate." My beast demanded not leaving any room for debate. It was obvious she had missed a few meals.

Before sitting down I noticed the anger in her eyes. A part of me had hoped she wouldn't hate me, though I understood her feelings entirely.

What I did in her mind was not forgivable. Looking down at my plate, a disgusted scowl slid purposefully on my face. Only once Jeff noticed it, did I proceed to scape all my overcooked food onto Jaycee's plate.

I had to make it believable. He had to think it was a form of punishment or I knew Jeff would catch onto something.

Having to look at my angelic mate as though I hated her, was almost impossible, but the thought of breaking her out of this prison tonight, was the only thing that kept my resolve strong.

I have fought and hidden my entire life, a few more hours was manageable.

To my surprise she inhaled half her plate within a few large bites. I silently stood making my way to the buffet table. A large bowl of strawberries sat untouched, most likely kept aside for the Alpha. I grabbed a plateful and cut them in half before proceeding to add whipped cream. I took a step however before I could turn away, my beast reached out and grabbed a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.

Hiding my smirk at how whipped he was, I make my way back to the table and await Jeff's onslaught.

"You're just as whipped as I am." My beast grumbles picking up on my thoughts. He isn't wrong.

"Here Blue, you look to have enjoyed the meal far too much, thought you needed something to fill the gaps."

Jaycee's beautiful blue eyes widened at the small plate of strawberries and cream. I could see Jeff's pulse bounce around with all the rage consuming him, making my beast salivate at the thought of sinking our fangs into his throat.

It has been far too long since I last tasted the metallic substance, or felt the familiar thrum of power I deprive myself of.

Jaycee turns towards Jeff recoiling back at the unrestrained rage shinning in his eyes, even though they were latched and directed towards me.
