The Chosen One (unedited)

Chapter 42

--------------

           

I groaned as I slowly felt my body start to waken. Why does my head feel like It was ran over by a truck?

"You're finally up, thought my only company would be these four walls for another hour." I heard a voice say. I cracked an eye open and saw Derek chained to a wall next to me. Both eyes shot open as I tried to go to him, only to be yanked back. I looked down at my arms and legs to see that I was also chained. I looked around the room noticing that there were no windows and only one door that was bolted shut and silver. Basically, there was no escaping.

"Derek! I'm so sorry this is all my fault." I started crying.

"Hey shh shh this is no one's fault." He tried to calm me.

"It is! I'm assuming the council have us and they only took you because of me."

"No, they took me because my mate ordered them too." He told me sadly.

I looked at him in confusion. "You found your mate? And she had the council chain you? Why?" His mate must be someone really powerful if she can tell angels to kidnap a werewolf. From what Jacob told me angels didn't like werewolves.

"She's part of the council." I felt my eyes widened at his confession. It was quiet for a while after that. My thoughts going a mile a minute. The council found me. What were they going to do with me? Will they ever let Derek go? I know one thing for sure, I wasn't just going to sit around and wait.

"Where are we? How long have you been here?" I tried to move my arms again. The chains only reached so far.

"We're in their dungeons and I've been here for over a week now." I felt guilt hit me as Derek told me this. He's been missing for over a week and we only just noticed like two days ago. What kind of friends were we? His family was even worse.

"I'm sorry." I told him.

"Its fine, I was hoping my mate would eventually let me go if I promised to never see her again," He started sadly. "She told me this is where my kind belonged."

"We'll get out of here." I promised him.

"That's the thing, I don't think I want to leave. I could've broken out plenty of times, but I think my wolf wants to stay close to his mate. Even if she doesn't want us."

"Derek we can't stay here. Who says they won't eventually kill us, you don't know who these people are. They aren't wolves like us, well mostly you." I sighed.

"What do you mean? I knew something was off about my mate, but I just assumed she hadn't shifted yet." He said looking extremely confused.

"They're angels, and I'm also an angel."

"Wow, just when I thought I knew all the supernatural. But what do they want with you? I know why I'm here."

"My parents were archangels making me the first-born archangel in ages, but they hid me on earth away from the council. They've been looking for me ever since."

"So, they're going to kill you? Maybe me as well." He sighed. He looked so heartbroken that it made my heart hurt. It also made me think about Dylan. He probably was freaking out now, our nice movie night turning into me getting kidnapped.

"I don't think your mate will kill you, it would kill her as well." I told him.

"I don't know, you should've seen the way she looked at me. There was no love there." He told me sadly. I felt my heart break all over again at the tortured look on his face.

"Love takes time."

I lost track of time after our conversation. We didn't talk much, he asked about how I was doing and wondered about the pack. I told him about Blake's new mate and mine. He was surprised when I told him I had a second mate, he was sure Blake and I would be together. I also told him how Blake tried to kill us.

Hours passed, or maybe days I don't know. Sometimes my body felt exhausted and I would sleep. Derek promising that he'd watch over me. I was hungry and thirsty as well. I mean they did take me before I could eat. I tried not to think about Dylan as I was here, it hurt too much being away from him.

Just then I heard a sound coming from the silver door. I moved back against the wall, fear gripping me. A guy around his mid-thirties walked in, there was a beautiful lady with snow white hair with him. I heard Derek's intake of breath and figured that was his mate. She was gorgeous.

"Oh good you're up." She walked towards me. Completely ignoring Derek.

"If you guys are going to kill me just do it already." I growled at her. I wouldn't go down without a fight. She let out this musical laugh.

"Kill you? Why do you think we want to kill you?" She asked.

"You're the council, right? What else would you want with me?" I was confused with the way she was acting. If they weren't going to kill me then what did they want?

"We're not the council, we're the people that does the councils work. When they don't want to get their pretty little hands dirty, and we're sick of it." The guy next to her snorted and she shot him a glare.

"Then what do you want with me?" I was even more confused.

"You're friends with Jacob, right?" I glared at her.

"What do you guys want with him?"

"He works with the council, we plan to kill him." She smiled at me.

I laughed in her face. "Jacob isn't part of the council."

"Then you know less about him than you think." She had to be lying, no way was Jacob part of the council. He's been protecting me from them. My parents would have never tasked him to watch over me if that was the case. She just wanted me to doubt him and leave myself opened to an attack.

"Keep your lies to yourself."

"Lies? Jacob is the one that warned you about the council, right? He's also the one that said they wanted you. Honey I can tell you now that all your facts are messed up. Jacob hasn't been telling you the truth, and I'm afraid to say that he's not your friend."
