The Alpha's Saviour

Chapter 84 - Locked Up

LAST CHAPTER SUMMARY:
Alexa (Jaycee's mother) took a potion wanting to trade her life for her daughters. During all the panic she too forgot she was responsible for the two lives growing inside her. Once the potion was consumed it needed to trade one life for a life, however if Alexa died, so too would her babies which would lead to three deaths not including Zander who would soon follow being Alexa's mate. The potions only choice was to take one of the two unborn babies, and trade it for Jaycee's. Viren hadn't seen any of it as he passed out once his bond with Jaycee shattered.
(End of summary)

Viren's POV:

I woke up to the sound of tapping, a continuous annoyance grating on my nerves. I opened my eyes to darkness, even with my beasts amazing sight there was nothing amusing about the hard stone floors, plain ceiling, and silver bars surrounding me. I was in a cell.

It took me a moment to remember what happened. My heart rate picked up as images of Jaycee with blood streaming from her eyes, nose and ears flashed behind my eyes. Her body limp.. unmoving.

My beast roared loudly, anger, agony and desperation clear in the vibrations as they travelled from my chest up my throat. The sound was foreign to me. Had we ever cared about anyone enough to feel this debilitating pain and emptiness?

No.

I wondered if the screams were contained within the walls of my mind, or if my own lungs and vocal cords were having a workout. Judging by the way the bars vibrated and the almost invisible barrier shimmered, I had my answer.

My limbs tingled with what I knew to be magic. It's warm familiar carless burned brighter and hotter than I was used to. I watched through my eyes not having control, as if suspended in time. From an outsider's perspective I was sure they could see the colourful pulses exploded from within me, shaking the very floor I stood on. Stones and shards of cement crumbled around me, though none dared to touch my skin. The pulses also served as a barrier blasting everything that tried to come close, away from me like a ripple in a steady lake.

"Stop. You're okay. It's going to be okay." The muffled shouts coming from a shadow in another cell sounded familiar yet distant. My beasts head snapped sharply in his direction noticing the tapping I awoke from was caused by him anxiously tapping his feet.
An aggressive growl shook the room around me, and it felt good to surrender control to my beast. Anything to distract me from the never ending pain and hollowness I felt, at the memory of my dead mate. My beast and I couldn't shake the images as they reminded me over and over that she was dead. She gave up her life to save that of a warrior. I wasn't sure who he was, but he didn't deserve her sacrifice. No one would ever be worthy of it, not with her pure heart and knowing how much she endured simply to survive. She deserved so much more. More than what I could ever give her, even if I would have done anything in my power to make her happy. Now I would never get the chance. The chance to apologise and beg her for forgiveness. The chance to maybe even win her heart.

I shook my head from the persistent images of my beautiful mate, my vision clearing and landing on the mans silhouette. He was tall, lean yet muscles widened his frame. His hair appeared long but it was his glowing yellow green eyes that had my beast pausing the last second. My hands had wrapped around the bars pulling on them in a attempt to open them.
"Nothing.. Okay." My beasts words were full of so much rage and certainty. We felt hollow yet somehow his rage made him drunk off adrenaline and power. Where he wanted to destroy the world around us, I wanted to curl up into a ball and die. I wanted to die so I could see her again. Her beautiful smile, the shine in her incredible light blue eyes. I would do anything in this moment that would lead me to her. Anything.
