Saving Her

Chapter 17

Alexia. P.O.V

I was sitting on the bed chained to it. Rhys was kissing me everywhere but soon he just laughs. Not his normal laugh or chuckle. This laugh sent chills up my spine.

"Rhys what are you doing?" I asked and he just evilly smirked. His eyes every filled with hate. He gets up and stands next to the bed.

"Well well well. Would you look at that? Alexia the same as I left her." He smiles. Antony stood on the other side of the bed. "Beautiful as ever." He kissed my cheek. I started trying to move as he showed me the belt in his hand. "You have been naughty. You left home. But I'm coming back for you.." He smiles again as I looked at him in horror. I looked to the other side to Rhys who had a knife in his chest. "Eh I didn't need him anyway. Now it's just me and my love." He kisses me roughly.

I sat up and Rhys stared at me. I screamed in shock, tears started pouring and Rhys hugged me whispering sweet nothings. Soon I went back into a deep sleep.

When I woke up Rhys was holding me tightly. The sun shined through the thin curtains. Rhys arms tightened it was almost painful I tried to move out of his embrace but his eyes snapped open. They were black and angry. My heart stopped for a split second.

"Go back to sleep." He loosed his hold closing his eyes again.

"I'm um sorry for earlier." I whisper.

"No need to be sorry. Sleep." He kissed my nose. I closed my eyes and fell back asleep.

"What the hell do you mean!?" I heard Justin yell.

"Shut up she's sleeping." Rhys growls.

"You didn't bring her home. Why wouldn't you bring her home?" Justin says. I sit up.

"Because she's my mate. I care for her just as much as anyone else." Rhys says. I hear something break. I look at my bed side to see pancakes and bacon.

"Calm down." Justin says quietly to himself. There were a few more mumbles. I decided to just eat then go check on them. Once I was done I looked the the crack on the door. I saw nothing. Did they leave me here? I tiptoe to the kitchen hearing Justin. "Dude she's ok. She just needs time." He says.

"I don't think she's ok. I can't protect her from her dreams. I'm not making her happy enough. I shouldn't have marked her. Now she will be stuck with me." Rhys says. My heart tightened. Rhys was the best and made me extremely happy. Why was he thinking like that?

"You marked her?" Justin growls angrily.

"Yeah." Rhys said. Justin started yelling nonsense about how I was his sister and he had no permission to mark me.

"Hey." I stepped into the kitchen making them both look my way.

"Good morning." Rhys looks at me painfully like looking at me brought him pain and it made my heart ache.

"You're coming home today." Justin walks to me examining my neck. He breathes in and out slowly calming himself. "You let him mark you." He said finally after a few breaths.

"I told him to Justin. He's my mate remember." I said. He walks out the kitchen and out the door. He needs to let off steam. "Thanks for the breakfast." I thanked Rhys.

"Your welcome. You should go take a shower I'll get your stuff ready." He says not even looking at me. I walk backed out the kitchen and went to take a shower. As I dry off I think about what Rhys said before. It almost sounded like he was breaking up with me. There was a small knock at the door and I slip on my clothes quickly. When I open the door Rhys stood there. I wrap my arms around him and he hugs me.

"Hi." I whisper.

"Are you ready to go?" He asked. I nod.

My mom thankfully made Rhys stay. I'm glad my mother didn't take his excuses to leave forcing him to stay until after dinner. Now I sit on my bed and Rhys lays next to me. We watch uncle grandpa on Cartoon Network. I don't know why or how we got here. I thought we were doing so well.

"Rhys." I mumble feeling sleepy now.

"Your mom added some sleeping pills to your drink. You look exhausted." He whispers. I yawn and growl. Why did she do that? "Good night." He pulls me into his embrace. I try to push him away and sit up but my eyes shut before I can.

"Hey." He smiles at me. I just sit there. We were in a empty room. "You're very stupid." He laughs. "Your little boyfriend will reject you and as soon as he does I will come and take you back." He walks closer to me. "Don't you miss me? I would never let you out of sight again." He whispers in my ear. "I'm the one who loves you Alex."

I sit up and Rhys is gone. I run out my room and I don't even remember me going down the stairs but I ended up outside. Rhys was about to pull out. Soon the car is turned off and Rhys steps out. I stay on the pouch until he's standing in front of me.

"Can we talk?" I asked.

"I was.." He starts.

"Please Rhys. Let's just talk ok." I cut him off. My eyes start to water as he just stares at me. When he finally nods I lead him to my dad's study.

"Alexia I can.." He starts again.

"Shut up." I snap. He looks shocked. "Just listen." I sit crisscross applesauce on the carpet floor. He follows my actions. I take his hands in mine. "When I was 7 I was kidnapped." I started. I told Rhys everything. I told him about the torturing with Anthony and his family. Also me running away getting home safely after 10 years. Rhys held my hands tightly as I told him my past. I started telling him about the dreams and the most recent one that happened at his house. I didn't even realize I was crying until he whipped my tears.

"Alexia I'm here for you." He kissed my hands.

"You can't protect me from him. He will always be my number one fear. He's always there and he can take me at any time." I said.

"I will protect you. I love you and I will kill him if I have to. You're mine and no one will ever take you from me." He kissed me lightly. His head snapped to the window and I looked to see a pair of red eyes. A shiver ran through my body. Rhys stood in front of me. I blushed at his protectiveness.

"That's one of his henchmen. He can't get in there is a protective shield over the house." I explain to Rhys. He looks at me oddly. "If he gets too close it's like negative magnets going towards each other. He can stay as far as the trees." I continued.

"How do you know this?" He asked amused.

"My mom told me." I said standing wrapping my arms around his waist. Small tingles ran through my body. Then the eyes disappear. I saw a glimpse of a wolf. "A-Are you going to break up with me?" I asked. Rhys tensed up.

"No." He answered shortly. I let him go.

"It's getting late you can go home if you want." I said. Rhys tilted my head up to look at him. He leaned down and kissed me. This wasn't a lustful kiss like it most of the kisses I shared with Rhys. The kiss was soft and sweet. It was filled with care and love? Rhys pulled away.

"I'll sleep on the couch." He said. I nod only. "Good night girlfriend." He says.

"Goodnight boyfriend." I kissed him again briefly before making my way back to my room.
