Moonlight

Jake grits his teeth, takes one last glance at me, pivots his body with the balls of his heels, and ominously walks out. Jake soon leaves, Jack walks out of the room and sighs.

"Did your claws come in?" Ian asks urgently. I nod in fright.

"None of this would've happened if I didn't come looking for him, I shouldn't have..." Oh my God, what have I done?

If I didn't look for him, I wouldn't have gotten myself into this mess. I pause, my voice cracks. Ian looks out the window, then begins to panic. I close my eyes and break into tears. I open my eyes and look at Ian. Tears cloud my vision.

"It's not your fault, you only wanted to... oh my God, Brent," Ian pauses, nudging Brent with his elbow. "look..." My teeth begin to ache, pointy fangs poke their way through my gums. I slowly open my mouth, feeling my pointy teeth against my mouth.

"We need to get her downstairs immediately." Brent replies. They help lift the weight off my body since my stomach still aches.

We all flood down the stairs, and into the bathroom. They leave the door open, not important right now. Ian turns the shower on. What the hell is the shower for??

"You are going to get very aggressive, all you need to do is wait for the feeling to pass. The water is to help calm you." Brent announces.

"We will be here with you, to mainly make sure you don't harm yourself... and possibly us." Ian adds. Brent raises an eyebrow at Ian.

"As a beta, you will feel more aggressive than we do, and you haven't learned to control it yet, so just bare with us." I take a deep breath and feel the aggression bubble up. Ian carefully placed handcuffs around my wrists, binding me to the hand rail. My wrists are pinned to the hand rail, my arms tucked in front of my body. I rest my forehead against the wall of the shower.

"I'd love to see what happens here." Jake's voice echoes from the top of the stairs. I roll my eyes. He walks down the stairs, his footsteps approach us. His footsteps halt, the floorboard creaks, informing me that he is standing at the bottom step.

"Now, Leah. I have a few questions for you." He adds. I growl between my gritted teeth.

"Go to hell!" I hiss. He smirks.

"A little angry, I see." He replies, he rocks on the soles of his feet.

"Leah, calm down." Ian says softly.

"Heartbeat rising, anger overflowing, the urge to kill is strong." Jake taunts.

"Where are Cameron and Garrison?" He asks. I close my eyes and try to calm my rapid breath.

"Go to hell." I mumble under my breath.

"We both know that you don't like me, but you can't hide Garrison forever,"

"I will hunt them down, and kill them if you don't tell me where they are." He warns.

"I will never tell you, not even on my deathbed." I hiss.

"We'll see about that." He replies. I snarl loudly. He lashes his claws across my back. I cry out in pain. Ian jumps at each cry. I rest my chin on the top of the hand rail.

"You won't touch them." I hiss.

"I can, and I will." He warns. He lashes his sharp talons across my back once more. I cry out in pain, my back aches with a burning passion. I draw my shoulder blades in in fear that he might kill me.

"Over... my..." I take a breath and look up, glaring at his reflection on the tile. My body shakes in pain, I wince in pain. "dead... body." I snap. Jake's reflection smirks.
