Saving Her

Chapter 40

There was banging at the front door. Rhys held me tighter against his chest.

"There's someone at the door." I whispered. He got up and I followed.

"You get back into bed. You're on bed rest." He pointed to the bed.

"Rhys it's just the front door. I'm sure it's just a pack member." I said but he shook his head.

"I'll be right back. Just stay in bed for me please." Rhys said. I flopped back in bed while he left. I tried to listen to their conversation but I couldn't hear anything. They must be mind linking. 20 minutes passed and I was about to go to the front door.

"I'm tired." Justin grumbled pulling me back to the bed. "Rhys went to do something. Sleep." Justin yawned. I looked at the digital clock again it was almost 4 in the morning. Justin got comfortable before laying on my body trapping me with his weight. I try to get into Rhys thoughts but it gave me head ache. What was Rhys hiding? First we come to a perfectly prepared house now he's disappearing randomly in the middle of the night. I closed my eyes and let my mind drift off to sleep.

When I woke up Rhys was making breakfast. I guess he sensed me because he turned to me smiling a bit.

"Good morning." He said turning off the stove and coming over to me. He was about to kiss me and I turned my head so the kiss was on  my check. His eyes flashed hurt before he stepped away from me.

"What are you hiding?" I asked.

"What are you talking about?" Was his unique reply.

"Where were you?" I asked.

"There was a dead rouge on the edge of the territory. Had to clean it up. But no one from the pack killed it. It's like someone killed it then dumped it at our feet." He explained.

"I want to see the wolf who attacked me." I said. He opened is mouth to disagree. "If you say no I'll sneak out." I quickly added.

"Fine. After breakfast we can visit the rouge then we are going to have a talk." He said placing a plate of fresh toast bacon and fruit on the island.

"Rhys this is a lot." I said looking at the plate.

"Well you're eating for two now. I'll get you're clothes ready."  He smirked stealing kissing before going in the room we were sleeping in. I was honestly really hungry but I couldn't eat. I knew he was lying I could feel it. There may have been a rouge but that wasn't the entire truth.

I picked up the fork before eating the fruit and French toast saving the bacon for last. I felt stuffed after eating the two strips out of ten on the plate.

"That okay baby let's take a shower." Rhys chuckled. I turn to see him standing in the hallway. I stood walking past him to the room. The shower was already running so I stripped my clothes. I felt cold air hit my thigh. I looked at the now scabing wound. Rhys got into the shower offering me a hand which I took. The water spayed wetting my hair and run down my back. My body melted into Rhys as he pulled me closer to him.

Rhys held my hand as we walked across pack grounds to the cells. My dress was tickling the back my ankles and the sun felt good on my skin. I felt free after long days of having to stay inside like a prisoner. I played with the necklace Rhys gave me after our shower together. It wasn't much just a small heart with diamonds on it.

"I don't want you to get her upset. She has broken her restraints many times even if they we're covered in silver. " Rhys whispered to me as we walked down the halls of the cells.

"Don't worry I'll be fine." I said. He stop walking pulling me to stop as well.

"I'm serious Alexia. You have lost a lot of blood already. I can't.." He started.

"I'll be fine." I kissed him before following the scent of Jane. When she saw me she laughed. I just stared at her until she was finished.

"We both will have hell to pay once we get back." She said.

"How do you know they will come for us?" I asked. She stood and walked closer to where I was on the other side of the bars.

"He believes you are his mate. And I am the King's pet. They are probably furious that I even step foot out of the house." Jane spoke. "To make matters worst your fucking the alpha and we haven't been here for a week yet." She continued. "You will be punished for disrespecting our future King by having sex with this thing everyone calls leader." She smiled as we both heard a growl.

"Shut up you're one to talk." I said. Her eyes narrowed at me. "I honestly don't even know why you're still alive." I said turning to Rhys.

"I can't be killed by these pathetic excuse for guards." She scoffed.

"I done with her." I said crossing my arms Rhys nod to the guard who opened then cell. Jane smirked cockily at the man. He grabbed her by the throat slamming her into the wall. Her cocky face turned into a one of rage. The guard tightened his hands around her throat as she trashed around trying get him. It was sad to watch. I can tell she had great power. But without training she wasn't able to unlock it all she knew how to do is rip flesh with her teeth.

She looked at me trying to get out words but they didn't come out. I glaced at furthest wall in the cell and he throw her against it. She gasped for air trying to stand up to fight but failed. Rhys wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Don't ever disrespect me or my pack ever again. If anyone is pathetic here it's you. You will answer what ever questions we have for you without a fight. Or my friend Zack here will show you how to be respectful." I said. The guards in the hall bowed but Jane didn't reply. "Is that clear Jane?" I roared causing her to whimper.

"Yes." She curled up in a ball hiding her face. I took a deep breath as Rhys kissed my neck.

'That was sexy.' Rhys mind linked me nipping on the area around my mark. I moved out of his arms and walked back the way we came. I felt him following behind me as I walked out the cells.
