Heart Held Captive

Chapter 8

CHAPTER EIGHT

The rest of the day went by a lot more smoothly than this morning, I met more pack members and was shown around the house. Roman gave me space and was watching everything I did from a distance making sure no guy got too friendly and that I didn't try to escape. I know I said I would give him a chance but that didn't mean that I  still wasn't thinking of every possible way to get out of here, really it was just a way for the pestering to stop. I found out that all the boys from the car accident had been changed into werewolves, they didn't really go into much detail but I got the basics of it. Roman has a few witches as allies and when a neighbouring pack declared that they wanted their territory Roman decided to expand his pack, they couldn't wait on everyone to find their mates and have children or as they like to call it pups, so he enlisted the witches help to transform regular humans into werewolves.

It really was pretty here once I stopped and looked around but I couldn't help but try and find opportunities for escape. I sat on the porch talking to Jake for hours, with Roman sitting on a chair opposite us. I couldn't help but ask him a million questions such as; what it was like, did he care what had happened to him and his friends, is he aloud to leave or is he a prison like me? He honestly seemed pretty contempt with everything.
"Like I said Tera, I didn't have much of a life back at home. I dropped out of college, I didn't know what I was doing with my life and neither really did Nate and Dave. We've called our parents and said that we all decided to take a spontaneous holiday, once we have got a hold on our wolves were aloud to go see them" He smiled but looked confused again a few seconds later.

"What do you mean you're prisoner here?" He said as he cocked his head to the side.

"As in, I'm usually locked in a room I've tried to escape 2 times and keep being brought back when all I want to do is go home"  The tears were starting to form when I pinched my wrist trying to stop myself crying.

"I don't understand, the others say were allowed to do what we want as long as we stay out of public view but that's because we have be changed you're still human"

"Well would it make sense that, that jerk sitting opposite us is my mate and he is a possessive, craz-" I didn't get to finish my sentence when I  felt a hand go over my mouth.

"I think that enough talking for you two today, Tera needs to sleep she's had a long day" Roman said in a low voice trying to intimidate Jake. Either he doesn't like the sound of my voice or just likes to cut me off a lot! And he obviously wasn't listening when I said he treats me like a child a prime example when he talks for me!
 
I growled underneath his hands and tried to remove it but he just put his arm around my waist, lifted me up and directed me back into the house with his hand still over my mouth, this was all so embarrassing! We finally made it back to our room....HOLD UP! did I just say our room? Oh god! what's wrong with me?

Roman shut the door behind us and stared at me intently, he started to say something but it was my turn to cut him off.

"Ter--"

"Uh uh! hold up, before you say anything, I have a few things to say!" He looked at me as if to say 'Really?'

"What happened to our agreement to not treating me like a child? you speaking for me like that was going back on your word and you dragging me through the house like that was completely embarrassing, I said I would try but you are making it very difficult"

"Well maybe you shouldn't bad mouth me like that in front of one of my pack members"

"I was only telling the truth, you are possessive and at times crazy. I mean who throws people over their shoulders in these days? You act like a caveman" I crossed my arms and turned to look away from him. He walked over and placed his hand on my chin and turned my face to look at him softly.

"Ok, I'm sorry. I know I'm possessive and can act like a caveman, I will try my best to tone it down" Wow an actual apology. I nodded my head in forgiveness and he kissed me on the cheek and went into the walk in closet. Is it weird to say that I kinda enjoyed that kiss? ....YUP!

"I'm going to have a shower before bed" I yelled out to him and he yelled out an okay.

I have to say the shower helped a lot to release all the tension I had stored up through out the day. I got into the pyjamas that were provided for me and went into the bedroom to find Roman already in the bed.

"Hang on if you are sleeping in that bed, where am I sleeping?"

"In here with me silly" He said whilst opening the covers so I could get in.

"Um I don't think so, you need to go somewhere else"

"Well its my room so I don't think I have to, just come on into bed I'm tired"

"No thank you, I would rather sleep on the floor" I started to bend down to comfortable when I felt a tug on my waist and no longer were my feet on the ground. In just a few quick movements Roman had taken me off the floor, placed me beside him, tucked me into bed and settled his arm around my waist securely.

"Roman please, I don't want to sleep in this bed with you. Let me go"

"Tera please just once can you just shhhh" He said in whisper. Maybe it was my exhaustion or the warmth from the bed but I couldn't help but listen to Roman and shut my mouth and fall asleep.
