Chapter Twenty Five

It has been two days since that dinner, Paul should have been back tonight but he wasn’t. Kelly was worried sick, she hasn’t left the pack territory line all day, she has been waiting in the spot he told her to meet him at. She refused to go and eat so Katherina and I brought it out to her

“K,” Kelly said softly, “Do you think he is dead?” she asked holding back tears.

“No you would know hun. He is the strongest of us, he is ok I promise. Bret has a temper but I really doubt he would kill any of us, were special to him, like his own kids in some sick way. Plus you have his blood and scent mixed in yours you will know if he was dead and you will be able to smell him before any of us can. So just keep your nose up and wait for him, he will come back to you.” I put as much confidence in my words as I could, I knew he wasn’t dead but Bret could be cruel and Paul could be close to death. I sat there and waited for Paul with Kelly. Both Ryder and Max went a few miles to see if they could hear him. When they came back without him Kelly almost busted out in tears.

About an hour later Kelly shot up, “I smell him,” she closed her eyes and sniffed, “he’s . . . oh god, he is bleeding, he’s hurt.” She turned to Ryder, “Please can I go to him.”

Ryder nodded and Kelly, Max and Ryder went out to get Paul. I would have been there with them but before I came out here Ryder made me promise to stay in his territory.

I paced back and forth waiting for them to come, when I heard there quick footsteps it took everything for me not to go to them. I tried to wait patiently but Katherina told me I was putting a hole in the ground from going back and forth.

I counted the seconds down until they were here, starting from one twenty, one nineteen, one eighteen all the way till one and that’s when they came onto pack land.

“Paul what happened?” I asked. His face was swollen, his leg was bleeding and his arm was cradled to his chest broken.

“He went crazy.” He croaked out.

“What happened?”

“K can you give him time to heal first.” Kelly kind of snapped at me making Ryder growl at her.

“Remember your place Kelly.” He yelled.

Her head went down, “I’m sorry alpha, I’m sorry she-alpha.”

“It is” I began to say but Ryder gave me a death look so I stopped speaking.

They walked Paul into the house and laid him on the couch. Katherina disappeared and came back with a first aid kit. She got to work on his face first, after cleaning it up and stitching his eye brow and lip she moved to his arm and popped it back in place and put a sling on him and then she cut off his pant leg, I gasped and the deep gash in his leg, his bone was showing and everything, it was disgusting.

“Hold on love.” Max put a hand on Katherina’s shoulder before she was about to pour the alcohol on it, “Paul if you hit her I will break your other arm got it?” Paul nodded and that’s when I gave him a cloth to put in his mouth and my arm to squeeze. Ryder didn’t like it much so he stood right next to me, prepared to block me from Paul or pull me away from Paul, and Max was trying to stand in front of Katherina but she moved him to the side of her. Max stared at Paul looking for any sign of movement. Kelly was behind Paul kissing the top of his head.

Ryder nodded at Katherina and she poured the alcohol on his gash and his head went back, his hand squeezed the crap out of my arm causing me to close my eyes, I didn’t move because I didn’t want Ryder to think it hurt me.

Then Katherina pushed together his skin, “Max can you hold his skin together for me?” Max did as he was asked. Katherina took the thickest stitching she had and worked at Paul’s leg. Honestly this was the worst cut I think I have ever seen, apart from the throat ripping we were, unfortunately, pros at.

After everything was all done Max and Ryder moved Paul to the spare bedroom on the first floor and that’s where he and Kelly stayed the rest of the night.

“Ryder?” I asked nervously.

“Yes.”

“Do you mind if I slept in your bed tonight? After everything I just really don’t feel like having another night mare.” The last few nights Ryder has came in and gotten me every time I woke up screaming from a night mare of his death and tonight I just didn’t want to deal with it.

“I might not let you back in that room now that you have asked.” He smiled pulling me into his arms.

“That will be prefect by me.” I kissed him and he stopped walking.

“I won’t be able to make it up the stairs if you do that.” He smiled.

“And why is that?”

“You know why, the fire burning through me makes me weak at the knees for you sweetheart.”

“I see, I guess I should try and hold off until were in your room?” I asked sweetly.

“If you can that would be great.” He smiled and then ran up the stairs and into his room, dropping me on his bed and leaning over me making his way down to my lips. When our lisp touched the fire ran, the tingles started and the passion burned. Every kiss we share is amazing and seriously breathe taking.

His hand ran from my hip up to my hair where he lightly tangled his hand in. His lips parted from mine and fell on my neck. When his hands gripped my shirt he pulled, ripping it off me. Making this little make out session heat up from hot to sizzling. His kisses started again this time hungrier and hotter, traveling down my body making me shiver. My body ached for him, my wolf howled for him and my heart beat for him. I wanted him so bad it hurt. When my hands started to make their way down to his button a stupid knock on the door made me drop them.

Ryder  growled, “What.”

“Paul needs us K.” Max called from the other side of the door.

“Ok,” I called out, “Give me a second.” I heard Max laugh and walk away from the door. “Ryder hun, I kind of need to go shopping. I am going through all of the clothes Katherina doesn’t wear.”

“I will take you tomorrow if we get to finish where we left off.” I sat up and kissed him.

“Deal.”

Ryder smiled and walked over to his closest giving me one of his shirts. I tied it in the back to make it tighter on me and not so baggy. Together we walked down stairs and into the room Paul was staying in.

“What’s up?” I asked.

“I abjured him.” Paul said in a light whisper.

“What happened?” Max and I asked at the same time.

“It works,” We waited for Paul to catch his breath and finish telling us what happened. “He came back pissed off and tried caging me for lying. I fought with him and of course was losing, when I had the chance I yelled and told him I abjure him, I don’t want to be his creation, I don’t want to be under his command and I don’t want anything to do with him. His eyes turned red and he lunged at me but before he could reach me we both crumbled to the floor, it felt like my head was going to explode, the mark on my neck from him was burning, my skin felt like it was twisting. Both of us were screaming and Chad being his bitch got him in the house and I made my way here. Right before Kelly and you two came and found me, my head stopped hurting and the mark in numb I can’t feel that part of my neck but that isn’t even the worse part. I felt alone so alone and empty. Like I wanted to die but then I saw my mate and that darkness went away and here I am.” He finished, out of breath and grabbing the water out of Kelly’s hand.

“It worked.” I whispered.

Even though I was released Bret could still make us come back to him but us abjuring him and cutting of all bonds and ties made it where he could never call on us, he could never force us back to him. The bond between us and him would be gone forever.
